Speaker 1: Life in the Export Beer Gardens studio and brought to
Speaker 1: you by Export Ultra the bar for here.
Speaker 2: This is the Agenda Podcast for the last day of July.
Speaker 3: The Agenda Podcast the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
Speaker 3: brought to you by Next Sport Vulture.
Speaker 1: The Department of Conservation are coming for us. They are
Speaker 1: well us and Radio Herdaki. And that's because of is
Speaker 1: it dead dead naming it to call it the boj Hawk.
Speaker 4: Well, yeah, look about ten years ago a member of
Speaker 4: staff here purchased a stuffed hawk or falcon with its
Speaker 4: arms a blaze, like it's just about to attack and
Speaker 4: pick up a baby rabbit from the desert road or
Speaker 4: about to drag off a dead possum that have been
Speaker 4: squashed on State ho And you know we're talking about
Speaker 4: those birds. Yeah, yeah, And it's been our mascot for
Speaker 4: quite some time with the Bojars hawk, and then I
Speaker 4: think it was something other hawk, and it's been around
Speaker 4: with us and around the studios for a long time.
Speaker 4: Someone has taken offense that we have a native stuffed
Speaker 4: bird in our position, and apparently you need a license
Speaker 4: to possess a native stuffed animal.
Speaker 1: It's interesting because when we purchased it from a second
Speaker 1: hand shop, Yes, they didn't have a permit. No, an
Speaker 1: idea say that people listening to this will have taxiderm
Speaker 1: in animals that they've found at random secondhand shops.
Speaker 2: They will not have permits for them either.
Speaker 1: Correct.
Speaker 4: I've got a native little little native unger stuffed, you know,
Speaker 4: next to a.
Speaker 1: Big trout right my house, allegedly alleged. I haven't got it.
Speaker 2: No, it's light.
Speaker 1: That's a license for it. So they are coming for
Speaker 1: our baby. Yeah, they want to take our baby off us.
Speaker 4: I don't know what they want to do with it.
Speaker 4: There's a couple of suggestions. You you had a good one.
Speaker 4: Let's release it back into the wild. So we'll go
Speaker 4: to a big cliff top and just have it off,
Speaker 4: set it free.
Speaker 1: Yeah. That's the problem about releasing captive wild animals is
Speaker 1: that they're often not fit for that life anymore. Nah,
Speaker 1: this one, and the problem is, you know, it's been
Speaker 1: domesticated for so long that's not going to be able
Speaker 1: to readjust the while. But the other problem is we
Speaker 1: still need it. We still need a hawk around. So yeah,
Speaker 1: we could get rid of that one. We're just gonna
Speaker 1: to shoot another one to bring it in back into
Speaker 1: the studio.
Speaker 4: Totally, or if they threatened to take our bouge.
Speaker 1: Hawk, which we can we can did name it.
Speaker 4: It is what it is, That's where it came from.
Speaker 4: I'm going to go full mega mind. You know the
Speaker 4: dude whos got his three kids up in Maracopa, Me
Speaker 4: and Hawker going there. I'm going to go Bush. If
Speaker 4: they come for me, I'm going Bush. I'm going to
Speaker 4: rob a bank on the way, steal a couple of
Speaker 4: four by fours, and we're going to go Bush.
Speaker 1: Me and Hawk, just me and him and all of
Speaker 1: the locals will know exactly where you are, but they'll
Speaker 1: protect your career because they're a member of the community.
Speaker 4: Well hopefully you guys will. Yeah, oh absolutely, go little
Speaker 4: stash spots for me in Hawky.
Speaker 1: And when the Department of Conservation comes around, we'll be like,
Speaker 1: just leave them alone and and the Hawk are happy. Yeah, exactly,
Speaker 1: full hunt for the will people. Yeah, he's a good father. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he's looking after those kids. You don't understand the full situation.
Speaker 1: He's a good care of that Hawk. It's been close
Speaker 1: for many, many years. So we'll keep you abreast of
Speaker 1: the developments there because it is an ongoing to and fro. Yep,
Speaker 1: you know, there is talk that it may have to
Speaker 1: be given up. But over my dead body, I can't
Speaker 1: imagine the Department of Conservation foresaw this level of defensiveness
Speaker 1: from the wider acc slash holder.
Speaker 4: Has he not better things to do? Go kill some
Speaker 4: ferrets and shit?
Speaker 1: That's right, Well, that's all that's going to happen if
Speaker 1: we release this thing is a fear, it's going to
Speaker 1: get it. Yeah, absolutely so.
Speaker 4: Yeah, kills some ferrets and stoats and like stop them
Speaker 4: meeting our fat, lazy native birds.
Speaker 1: Someone's been dead for a while quite a while. Yeah,
Speaker 1: to be fair, I do reckon someone shot it, So
Speaker 1: I think that's probably there is you you.
Speaker 4: Reckon Nay, because the few of them that I've seen,
Speaker 4: I've seen a couple of roadside and I've just missed time.
Speaker 1: Their takeoff with a possum. Yeah, I know what you
Speaker 1: can You can't stuff those in pieces you.
Speaker 4: Can, because there's all this is just like a fiberglass.
Speaker 4: It's just they just skinned it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I don't know anyway. The bullet hole, well
Speaker 1: you can patch over a bullet hole. We'd tough to
Speaker 1: patch over one that'd been run over anyway. Anyway, we're
Speaker 1: gonna fight for it. You will fight for it.
Speaker 4: We'll keep you updated on the saga of the Hawk
Speaker 4: and what happens.
Speaker 1: But like I said, over my dead cold body, hashtag,
Speaker 1: hands off our Hawk. Yeah, you've been in the headlines
Speaker 1: as well this week.
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I didn't even know, but a sick to me.
Speaker 4: There was a va sect to me chat going on.
Speaker 1: Front page of the Herald this morning when one page
Speaker 1: when I logged in, I think it's I think it
Speaker 1: was serving things that I thought.
Speaker 2: Would apply to me.
Speaker 1: Okay, and it's a photo of you, and instead of
Speaker 1: the ship hat, which I know to be you getting
Speaker 1: a vasectomy while commentating a game of cricket at the
Speaker 1: same time, it looks like something else. Doesn't look like
Speaker 1: that at all. It looks like someone I may be
Speaker 1: receiving oral pleasure.
Speaker 2: That's not what I got from it. No, is that
Speaker 2: what you look like?
Speaker 1: Yeah? That is not what I got from that facture
Speaker 1: at all. But I don't know, So what was the story?
Speaker 1: I didn't click on the headline.
Speaker 4: I know it's because obviously years ago, quite a few
Speaker 4: years ago, maybe eight years ago, seven, how's my son?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Seven, seven to eight years ago.
Speaker 4: I got a sect to me and did a live
Speaker 4: commentary at the same time as New Zealand, Australia even Parks,
Speaker 4: so as my vast difference were being pulled out and quarterized,
Speaker 4: I commentated that game for our world first. It just
Speaker 4: so happened that the schedules aligned. I booked it in
Speaker 4: and in Wells Goes. That's the same day as the
Speaker 4: Ussie game show how about you commentate while getting a sectomy.
Speaker 1: Key difference was I couldn't go.
Speaker 4: I couldn't get the full hipronole like most guys get,
Speaker 4: you know, the date rape kind of.
Speaker 1: I don't really know what's going on.
Speaker 2: But right, but I had to commentate.
Speaker 4: Yeah, so the guys like, I won't give you that
Speaker 4: because you I don't know what you're gonna say.
Speaker 1: You, I'll give you a little bit of local. So
Speaker 1: once he heard what you did say, did he say, well,
Speaker 1: I might as well have given you the drugs.
Speaker 4: Nah. He was quite good. He was cracking the jokes. Actually,
Speaker 4: Gerald Young City met highly recommenced soft hands. He was
Speaker 4: started making the jokes like yep, left stump removed, I'll
Speaker 4: just and he goes, I'll just pass the middle stump
Speaker 4: and head to the off stump, and I'm and I
Speaker 4: was like, I was like easy on and poor jo
Speaker 4: Jury had to film the whole thing. So yeah, he's
Speaker 4: never recovered anyway. Long story, I think there was a reporter.
Speaker 4: I think it was Greg Bruce. I want to do
Speaker 4: an article on the sect to me, because I think
Speaker 4: he's getting one, and there's some research around. Men are
Speaker 4: generally not keen on it, yeah, because there's some sort
Speaker 4: of psychological block around. It's scary, well, and people think
Speaker 4: that you're getting car strated, you know, like there's something
Speaker 4: happening to your manhood in terms of your manhood's being
Speaker 4: taken away.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 4: All it is is one pipe has been removed, and
Speaker 4: that's the pipe that gets you in trouble.
Speaker 2: I E.
Speaker 4: Pregnancy. Yeah, that's it. You're still you're still blowing. You're
Speaker 4: still blowing, but please stop.
Speaker 1: I just.
Speaker 4: Well, people think the tap goes off completely.
Speaker 1: It doesn't. Yeah, right, No, I didn't think that. I
Speaker 1: just I just don't on some block coming towards me
Speaker 1: with the sword.
Speaker 4: Nah, it's not like that either. It's not even there's
Speaker 4: even stitches.
Speaker 2: Do they put do they put? Here's how I imagine it.
Speaker 1: They pick you up and they put you on a
Speaker 1: fence post with your leg's play, and then they put
Speaker 1: your corn purse on the fence post. And then someone
Speaker 1: comes down got a heated iron thing. They pull it
Speaker 1: out and they yep, that's exactly how they do it.
Speaker 1: And then they let you off into the paddic and
Speaker 1: you we tail wags and you run off into the
Speaker 1: distance your mates.
Speaker 2: Is that how it.
Speaker 4: Works mainly in South Canterbury, but everywhere else it's fairly
Speaker 4: painless and fairly easy.
Speaker 1: Here's one question, and I would kind of prefer the
Speaker 1: answer was the only use or no, I don't want
Speaker 1: too many details. But could you smell it? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Hell yeah, took Joe Jury. Joe Jury's in the room.
Speaker 1: Can still smell it. He can still smell you.
Speaker 5: Okay.
Speaker 4: That's one thing about of a sectomy, and it's well
Speaker 4: worth getting if you're done with having kids, like like
Speaker 4: I definitely was, because now there's no worries in the
Speaker 4: world around that side of it. But you will never
Speaker 4: ever forget the smell of burning flesh when they caught
Speaker 4: her eyes, because they what they do is they go
Speaker 4: and hook and they pull out the vast difference which
Speaker 4: is like a little tube, and they clipped by the
Speaker 4: side and then they cut it and then they sold
Speaker 4: her both ends and then they let it go and
Speaker 4: it goes back up into your into your testicles and
Speaker 4: you're done.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but the smell is not it's not good. And
Speaker 1: just the way local anesthetic. Yeah, and then obviously the
Speaker 1: drugs that they four went on your particular procedure.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was the drugs were okay, it was just
Speaker 4: a little local but that was fine. It was fine,
Speaker 4: it was it was mildly uncomfortable, Yeah, but I highly
Speaker 4: recommend it anyway. It was an article to just kind
Speaker 4: of raise awareness and you know, try and break down
Speaker 4: some some of the some of the stereotypes and the
Speaker 4: stigmas surrounding you're getting your balls operated on.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that's that's the part that would terrify man's
Speaker 1: just I don't know how much it hurts to get
Speaker 1: hidden there by anything. Yes, what was the recovery like
Speaker 1: a sponsor drugs were off?
Speaker 2: Did it feel like that for about.
Speaker 4: A week you feel a mild discomfort, like like you've
Speaker 4: been kicked in like about ten minutes after being kicked
Speaker 4: in the balls.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know that, just darl ak. You're aware of it.
Speaker 1: You have that darl ak for about a week and
Speaker 1: then it's gone.
Speaker 4: But I'm glad that he included details on how many
Speaker 4: times I had to ejaculate before getting tested in the
Speaker 4: New Zealand Herald, and also included the part where I said,
Speaker 4: and my wife was only involved in two or three
Speaker 4: of those, because you've got to get rid of twenty
Speaker 4: before you get tested, Yeah, to see if it worked.
Speaker 4: And I remember telling my wife I was going in
Speaker 4: to get tested, and she goes, aren't you supposed to
Speaker 4: get rid of twenties?
Speaker 2: And I was like, she's like, you've only done two.
Speaker 1: I remember giving the greatest line going doctor's orders.
Speaker 2: Was a hot water bill so high this month?
Speaker 1: Where's the tray?
Speaker 2: Not?
Speaker 1: I thought it was my hair blocking. Oh, we'll go
Speaker 1: and check that story out on the Herald or don't
Speaker 1: or don't you've probably heard too much already. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: in other news, you were you were asked or selected
Speaker 1: randomly to do jury duty with Yes, I was last week.
Speaker 1: I was, But you were a crooked last week. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I was so crooked last week. And then also in
Speaker 1: the weeks beforehand, I said I can do it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to, don't worry.
Speaker 4: I want to do it, to be honest, and I
Speaker 4: got excused and looking back at it, I would have
Speaker 4: been smack banging to the old polkinghorn eye doctor myth
Speaker 4: related hanging?
Speaker 1: Was it a hanging? Was it a murder at the
Speaker 1: bottom of the stairs. There's Yeah, there's some pretty heavy
Speaker 1: trials going on. Yeah, but they could have been I think,
Speaker 1: because you know, the lawyers get a chance to veto
Speaker 1: some of the jurors.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I reckon, you would have got vetoed so quick.
Speaker 1: Why I don't know.
Speaker 2: They were just looked up and they were like I
Speaker 2: was rit in the Herald this morning.
Speaker 1: I saw a photo of you get a viscay and
Speaker 1: the Herald while commentating a croocket game. I don't know
Speaker 1: if this is the guy we needed our in our jury.
Speaker 4: Also, I got a what's he got an issue with?
Speaker 4: Not an issue but as a big hand job man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Department of Conservation or after him? That's true. Actually, yeah,
Speaker 1: a lot of red flags. I am. I've always wanted
Speaker 1: to do jury judy. I got called up to do
Speaker 1: it once down there in tomorrow I took the day
Speaker 1: off and went in to you know, served my community
Speaker 1: and I showed up and I was waiting around outside
Speaker 1: and the security guard was like that didn't open the door,
Speaker 1: still ten whatever. I was there for about fifteen minutes.
Speaker 1: He goes, well, what are you What are you here for?
Speaker 1: And I was like jury Judy. And he had a
Speaker 1: look of surprise on his face. He's like, oh, oh,
Speaker 1: I thought you were high face chat. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: And he goes, oh, what was the trial? And then
Speaker 1: I gave him the number because they only give you
Speaker 1: like a number or something. And then he goes, no,
Speaker 1: that guy pleaded guilty last night. They're not going to
Speaker 1: do a trial now.
Speaker 2: I was like, oh fucking where was the emel.
Speaker 1: I took a whole day off work, so anyway, went
Speaker 1: straight down the pokies and it was a great day off.
Speaker 2: But I would I would love to do jury Judy.
Speaker 4: Well there's another issue as well, which I think is
Speaker 4: where you would come unstack, and that is each day
Speaker 4: the judge reminds the jurors not to.
Speaker 1: Discuss this trial outside of this room.
Speaker 4: That's going to be an issue for you big time
Speaker 4: you en up on a Pocast'll be like.
Speaker 1: Don't go onto a podcast or commentary or broadcast of
Speaker 1: any type.
Speaker 2: And I'm like, all right, what do you think?
Speaker 1: Right? So, bloody, run this person out, any body stay
Speaker 1: at this person that there's a shooting, like you know, respectfully,
Speaker 1: you're on it.
Speaker 2: Do you know the numbers this will do on my podcast?
Speaker 4: If I can retail this story, how I'm going to
Speaker 4: get a lot of likes? A lot of likes can
Speaker 4: on the Polconhorn eye doctor myth think but on getting
Speaker 4: your eyes operated with a guy who's on high as
Speaker 4: a kite on myth.
Speaker 1: In his defense, I would rather that than he was
Speaker 1: drunk or stoned, okay, because the focus.
Speaker 2: Would have been hyper you know what I mean?
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Look, I know we'll talk over half the world or myth.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean well though, this hasn't either. This is
Speaker 1: all the llegial yeah, but on but as it reminded
Speaker 1: me of when Michael Clark's marriage fell apart or whatever
Speaker 1: was going on. It was that video that came out
Speaker 1: and he was like it was with Carl Stiff and yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: so he's with the bloody Breakfast good morning hosts. Then
Speaker 1: there's this check and she's going, oh, so you're telling
Speaker 1: me you didn't cheat on me with bloody Stiffanie from
Speaker 1: down the road on July the thirty first, in twenty
Speaker 1: fourteen or something.
Speaker 2: She had all of the details.
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, yeah, there was, there was a better I can
Speaker 1: only imagine the myth would have probably calmed them down
Speaker 1: at that point.
Speaker 4: I'm just waiting for all of the patients to come
Speaker 4: forward and going, hey, I got isee it my eyes
Speaker 4: aren't fixed, or you know what I mean. I'm waiting
Speaker 4: for some around his medical career to come out as well.
Speaker 1: Allegedly allegedly. I've got to remember he's still on trial,
Speaker 1: so this he pleaded guilty to the myth stuff?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Reportedly, yeah, reportedly reported or allegedly did you re to
Speaker 1: report that told him? Do you find them find out
Speaker 1: with the difference of allegedly and reported if there was,
Speaker 1: if you read it it's reported, what if you heard
Speaker 1: it alleged?
Speaker 2: What is that? Right?
Speaker 1: So I don't know, don't ask me.
Speaker 2: I'm not the fucking This is what I was trying
Speaker 2: to say the other day.
Speaker 1: I don't know all I'm doing this. It's good day.
Speaker 1: You should have stuck to you. You should have stuck
Speaker 1: to you. I'm trying to cover our ass because you've
Speaker 1: just said that how many other victims could there potentially
Speaker 1: be of this guy. I'm just saying alleged reported and
Speaker 1: Mike Lanes, did it not make medical misadventures? I'd like
Speaker 1: to distance myself with that. Did you watch any of
Speaker 1: the Olympics last night? I watched a bit of judo.
Speaker 1: Bit of judo? Oh did you watch the Gold Channels?
Speaker 1: It when your players and then they went to the judo. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: a little bit tedious. It's kind of like UFC bit,
Speaker 1: just a bit ship it's like slap fighting.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's kind of it's it's you can tell
Speaker 4: that those guys are weapons underneath their dressing gowns. Yeah,
Speaker 4: and the next move is UFC once theylene had a strike,
Speaker 4: because all it is it's grappling. Yeah, dude, I was
Speaker 4: just you've got to throw the other guy to the floor. Yeah,
Speaker 4: that's all of it. And they got mess cauliflower is
Speaker 4: I wouldn't mess with them.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I watched the Under eighty one kg and I was like,
Speaker 4: that dude from allus is not under eighty one kg's
Speaker 4: but he maybe at the start of the DONA.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Oh yeah, started the tournament, he would
Speaker 1: have been desperately dehydrated and then swow back.
Speaker 2: Up to about one hundred killers.
Speaker 1: That was about as much as I watched.
Speaker 4: To be honest, I got really I was gutted because
Speaker 4: I'm parenting alone at the moment, and I was gattered
Speaker 4: because I'd lined up the six pm triathlon. Oh it's babysitting.
Speaker 4: And I was like, and I got them all excited.
Speaker 4: I said at dinner, Jarmi's tea putting what I said,
Speaker 4: I'll give you, put it on the couch, Hayden Wild,
Speaker 4: it's going to be on.
Speaker 1: Then the alert comes through on I was.
Speaker 4: Like, you're literally poos posing the river. Yeah, And they
Speaker 4: was like, wasn't it on? I was like, poosing the river.
Speaker 1: So it's been delayed twenty four hours, so it's still
Speaker 1: scheduled to be going tonight.
Speaker 2: But they're still going to be poosing the river tonight.
Speaker 2: Just do it.
Speaker 4: And he's in there, that Aussie guy goes, I'm made.
Speaker 4: I don't care what's in that river. Yea, these poos whatever,
Speaker 4: I'm going to win the goal.
Speaker 2: Yeah fucking a yeah, like yeah, you'll get crooked.
Speaker 4: But after Yeah, I want someone on stage gold medal,
Speaker 4: the pants bombing but still stoked.
Speaker 1: Yeah, And I feel like, if you're going to be
Speaker 1: in the hospital, you might as well have a gold
Speaker 1: medal around you. Nick so Hadden while potentially got a
Speaker 1: chance to do that.
Speaker 2: Tonight.
Speaker 1: I watched the basketball so the Spanish played the grease
Speaker 1: the Greeks last night, and I just loved watching because
Speaker 1: some of these European teams, they've got dudes you've never
Speaker 1: heard of. There was this guy Yule last night, Spanish gentleman,
Speaker 1: thirty six years old, and he was torching the Greeks
Speaker 1: and he just he just looks like a plumber, you know.
Speaker 1: Like I'm so used to watching the NBA where everyone's
Speaker 1: getting paid billions of dollars and they're wearing gold jewelry,
Speaker 1: gold jewelry haircuts, they're look incredible, they've got the cool
Speaker 1: shoes on, and this guy just comes out looking like
Speaker 1: just a Tradeye.
Speaker 4: Have you seen some of that European League footage of
Speaker 4: those crowds.
Speaker 2: Oh, they're insane.
Speaker 1: That's like put the NBA to massive shame.
Speaker 2: There's like Fleers.
Speaker 4: Going, yeah, this is like football they're bouncing up and down's.
Speaker 2: Shaky and like just brutal, I know, And that's what.
Speaker 1: So then the Americans try and ship talk dudes like
Speaker 1: Jokic and who's a man? Don Chic, and they're like,
Speaker 1: have you seen what like what we were playing in
Speaker 1: before he came here?
Speaker 2: This is fucking nothing.
Speaker 4: Yes, I've got some Hollywood celeb throwing barbs at me on.
Speaker 1: Courtside at the Smoothie King Center. Yeah, it's like a
Speaker 1: skim It's that's okay. I've dealt with worse. Yeah, but
Speaker 1: I just thought that My key takeaway from that game
Speaker 1: was obviously, in Spain and Greece, they'll have a full
Speaker 1: commentary team commentating those games, but we get the Australian
Speaker 1: feet and it's Spain with grease, so there's no team
Speaker 1: in it. So it's just one guy commentating by himself
Speaker 1: from start to finish replays. He had to do a
Speaker 1: halftime show, he had to do like fill in when
Speaker 1: they call a time out, and he was just just struggling,
Speaker 1: just struggling to keep his head above water.
Speaker 4: I heard one commentator obviously had notes that one of
Speaker 4: the athletes had came from a broken up family and
Speaker 4: was brought up by his grandparents. And it's like he
Speaker 4: just threw it in the middle of the commentary and
Speaker 4: I was like, because obviously got notes on of the
Speaker 4: ads in this like fun fact brought up by his grandparents,
Speaker 4: abandoned by his parents.
Speaker 1: He just ron Yeah, it was like in the swimming
Speaker 1: I think, yeah, John Anick from the UFC was a
Speaker 1: shocker for that.
Speaker 2: For a while.
Speaker 1: There was a there's a clip of him being like
Speaker 1: both fighter like such and such in the blue trucks,
Speaker 1: such and such in the white trucks, both fighters fighting
Speaker 1: custody battles outside of the ring.
Speaker 4: Did you see the Brazilian was at the Brazilian peer
Speaker 4: who'd finished their They finished their sports, and they decided
Speaker 4: having a night out in Paris. They snuck out of
Speaker 4: the village and one of them's being sent home, the
Speaker 4: female of the partner, and because she got a bit
Speaker 4: feisty during the questioning and abusive, they her and the
Speaker 4: boyfriends apologized and he got to stay with her.
Speaker 2: He gets to stay on for the closing.
Speaker 1: Ah.
Speaker 4: But they've done this sport though I don't get it,
Speaker 4: and so some teams have got protocols where I guess
Speaker 4: even you finished. You can't go out in the weirds
Speaker 4: that we were talking about. Yeah, I guess it's just
Speaker 4: keep your head down. If you want to go out there,
Speaker 4: that's fine. I don't want to hear about you in
Speaker 4: the newspapers. Yeah, because I think if we go to
Speaker 4: like when we go to Germany.
Speaker 1: Yes, I think if I went out, like say, we
Speaker 1: had organized events and I was like, hey, I'm just
Speaker 1: going to go to this other place, I think you
Speaker 1: would tell me.
Speaker 2: Fine. I just don't want to hear that you've done it.
Speaker 1: I don't want to hear of what have been pulled out. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's right, or you're getting sent home, so I reckon
Speaker 1: that's what it would have been. It's like, all right,
Speaker 1: but just don't and then she flattered the roads. Anyway,
Speaker 1: let's take a quick break and we come back. We'll
Speaker 1: go through all of the latest news from overnight at
Speaker 1: the Olympics, including our first middle I'm sure that Tea's
Speaker 1: didn't hold too many of your hostage, because you know
Speaker 1: what it is, the Blackfan sevens. They won this morning, Yeah,
Speaker 1: they beat Canada. I this morning set down and watched
Speaker 1: all twenty minutes of her replay of what I thought
Speaker 1: was the gold medal game. Turns out it was the
Speaker 1: last time they played in Madrid a year ago.
Speaker 2: Beauty, But I think.
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it was a foregone conclusion
Speaker 1: that we're going to win this one. But I think
Speaker 1: we expect the Sevens to win. Yeah, especially when Australia
Speaker 1: got knocked out by Canada.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and then the Canadians made the final. I think
Speaker 4: most was like, oh, yeah, it's ours. I think we're
Speaker 4: on here.
Speaker 1: And in the end we did a stirring hucker that's
Speaker 1: doing the rounds on social media despite the fact that
Speaker 1: you're not allowed to repost anything anywhere.
Speaker 4: I don't do it. Do you know what I happen? Well,
Speaker 4: people come through the windows and slit your throat. If
Speaker 4: you share any content that is not permitted, you're dead. Okay,
Speaker 4: you're deader than this hawk.
Speaker 2: The social media blackout is outrageous.
Speaker 1: But yeah, our girls finally well not finally, but we
Speaker 1: finally get on the board with the gold medal.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, they were down. They were down at halftime. It
Speaker 4: was a bit. It was a bit squeaky bum if
Speaker 4: I'm fear. At half time, I was like, oh, these
Speaker 4: Canadians can play, but then they shut it out. They
Speaker 4: just absolutely dominated in the second half and closed it out.
Speaker 1: Good on them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, God bless them. And they're good fun.
Speaker 4: Hey, look, they're a good fun team for media.
Speaker 1: To talk to.
Speaker 4: They they're actually it's quite a refreshing approach for a
Speaker 4: bunch of othery'.
Speaker 1: Obviously we're all very good mates as well.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they get on like a house on fire, which helps,
Speaker 4: so that energy comes across when they talk to the media.
Speaker 1: They don't, they're not. Yeah, you're right. The dudes can
Speaker 1: just get so like intense. Hey man, just relax. You're
Speaker 1: playing sport for a job. Yeah you know you won,
Speaker 1: and they're just like fuck, yeah, yeah this is me.
Speaker 1: Yeah we just won an Olympic gold again. Yeah. Just
Speaker 1: having the medal would just be so sick. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: would you put it. You'd want it on display, wouldn't you.
Speaker 1: I think they're still wearing them. Surely, surely you wear
Speaker 1: it to bed. You go for Richard Headley, You don't
Speaker 1: take your kid off. Yeah that's a good point. I
Speaker 1: I ran a half merathon and I still wear the
Speaker 1: middle every now and then. Jo jury Is still got
Speaker 1: haas on from when he was hospitalized in Queenstown. Yeah,
Speaker 1: five years agetting pretty nanky, but yeah the black fans.
Speaker 1: As we mentioned before, had Well has been postponed due
Speaker 1: to poose our rowers one just about everything last night.
Speaker 1: This is the thing I enjoyed the most watching last
Speaker 1: night was Emma Twig and her is that the single
Speaker 1: sculls with them?
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: She obliterated the field so much that two of the
Speaker 1: people she was racing against quit. Yeah, one of them,
Speaker 1: So it was Imma Tweg and then Daylight, then another
Speaker 1: girl in second, then another one and third. When the
Speaker 1: one and third got overtaken, she let go o the oars.
Speaker 1: She's weak. Immatweg obliterated the field so hard that two
Speaker 1: women reevaluated their career choices because when that one turned around,
Speaker 1: she I think she thought she was sickond And when
Speaker 1: she got overtaken, she turned around and she was just like,
Speaker 1: oh is that someone training down? Oh fuck no, that's
Speaker 1: she's in our saying, Oh, I don't know about this
Speaker 1: ruin thing. To be honest, this has never really been
Speaker 1: for me.
Speaker 2: I had a cap.
Speaker 4: First of all, there was a teen I think a
Speaker 4: ten year gap between uh, Emma Tweg and the girl
Speaker 4: that came second from Switzerland. I think yeah, But I
Speaker 4: got another issue with the commentator. I'm not sure if
Speaker 4: he was either good mates with him a twig or
Speaker 4: he got the last name wrong because he kept calling
Speaker 4: you a twiggy Twiggy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he was trying to be a bit
Speaker 1: too chummy.
Speaker 4: Was he, or was he getting confused with a singer Twiggy,
Speaker 4: perhaps because I say every second wind was Twiggy again.
Speaker 4: I mean, we call it twiggy, but I mean we're
Speaker 4: a sports adjacent podcast, and yeah, you're an Olympic commentator
Speaker 4: throwing out twiggy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'd like at least a thin veil of objectivity,
Speaker 1: you know, like I'm objective. I don't have a horse
Speaker 1: in this race. But yeah, he's like Twiggy. And I
Speaker 1: was like, do they call her twiggy because once she
Speaker 1: gets on them twigs?
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it's over, you can't.
Speaker 1: I was.
Speaker 2: I was so fired up last night watching.
Speaker 1: Her when that I was strutting around the lounge, was like,
Speaker 1: they shouldn't have let her off the bus. They shouldn't
Speaker 1: have let her off the bus.
Speaker 2: That race was over before she got in that fucking boat.
Speaker 1: They should not have let her off the bus. So
Speaker 1: she's got it. I forgot.
Speaker 4: I always forget how many races they have to do
Speaker 4: before reaching the final. Every night my kids go, is
Speaker 4: this the final? And I go no, And they're like,
Speaker 4: she won by so much, she should have an empty lane.
Speaker 4: She should have a ghost lane in her next I
Speaker 4: think it's the semi final now that she's in it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so she's got You got to like four races
Speaker 1: to make the final. She won by so much, they
Speaker 1: should just leave her lane free and she'd just be like, look,
Speaker 1: she's into the next one. Oh and then if anyone
Speaker 1: coul plays like, what do you actually want a race it?
Speaker 1: Do you want to see how bad this goes for you?
Speaker 1: Because she's gonna obliterate you. But yeah, so then she's
Speaker 1: got another one tonight boy t mac as well, he
Speaker 1: got through Tom McIntosh. He's into the semifinals, which I
Speaker 1: presume her tonight as well. Emma twig one gold and.
Speaker 2: Three years ago.
Speaker 4: Actually no, when I say he was here ages thirty seven,
Speaker 4: she's gonna be the oldest middle she.
Speaker 2: Will be the oldest middleist in rowing.
Speaker 4: Yeah, because I know I got there wrong with the
Speaker 4: girl next to her, from Switzerland. She was twenty, so
Speaker 4: seventeen years.
Speaker 1: Yeah. There was another race after a man t mac
Speaker 1: and there was a bloke from like Mexico or Morocco
Speaker 1: or something, and he was just like fuck it on
Speaker 1: going healthilyather straight out of the gates and he got
Speaker 1: himself like a two boat lead. And this is a
Speaker 1: two clove a race. By the five hundred meter mark,
Speaker 1: he was already back down to third. But I just
Speaker 1: love what I'd do. Yeah, same here, That's what I'd do.
Speaker 1: Same here. I would fire a shot. Yeah, I'd just
Speaker 1: be like, I want to photo of me two boat
Speaker 1: links ahead of everyone else. Yeah, and put it on
Speaker 1: the wall. I'm not gonna win anyway, or I might
Speaker 1: let you never know, you might just get out in
Speaker 1: front and then and then keep going. The men's and
Speaker 1: women's double scullers have also qualified for their finals. So
Speaker 1: you know, we were saying there was a bit of
Speaker 1: a drought early doors in this Olympics.
Speaker 2: This is where we really get into our.
Speaker 1: Work, when our ass is on something hard. Yeah we
Speaker 1: do well, that's right, that's where that's the best that
Speaker 1: we do. So there's gonna be a whole raft, a
Speaker 1: floatilla of metals coming through very soon. I think the
Speaker 1: Olliwhites they lost to France, well, so they won't make
Speaker 1: the knockout round.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately.
Speaker 1: Simone Biles set the office on fire this morning with
Speaker 1: the replays of her performance that lead her team to
Speaker 1: gold in Paris. I saw a stat that she hasn't
Speaker 1: lost a competition in ten years, which which is a
Speaker 1: little misleading. Yeah, because that's because you initially think, oh,
Speaker 1: she's won everything. No, no, no, she's come like she got
Speaker 1: silver in Tokyo. You know, she's come third, fourth, six,
Speaker 1: She's just never come last. Yes. I was like, eh,
Speaker 1: and she also pulled out in Tokyo. Yeah, so it's like, yes,
Speaker 1: sure she hasn't lost, but it's like she also hasn't
Speaker 1: won every single thing that she was in. But she
Speaker 1: is incredible to watch.
Speaker 2: I couldn't.
Speaker 1: Do you think if you had one shot at it,
Speaker 1: you could climb onto one end of that bar and
Speaker 1: walk to the other end and then dismount without falling off.
Speaker 1: If you slip off at all, even while you're trying
Speaker 1: to climb on, you're out.
Speaker 2: Do you think you could do it in one go?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: No, neither could I.
Speaker 1: I hapy to give it a go though.
Speaker 2: I tried it this morning.
Speaker 1: There's a bar at the gym I go to and
Speaker 1: I go a lot, and I tried to climb up
Speaker 1: on top of it, and I just couldn't even like start.
Speaker 1: I didn't even know what league to, like, you know,
Speaker 1: put up onto what side?
Speaker 4: Could you not just straddle it with your cock on
Speaker 4: balls and then just shuffle along like that like a
Speaker 4: dog with women?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, that count? Or do you have to walk it?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 2: I think you have to walk it souls your feet.
Speaker 1: On the Actually no, I could do it.
Speaker 2: Once I get up getting up as the part.
Speaker 4: Once I get up, I'll give the ill wind the
Speaker 4: windows up a few times and like that. But I
Speaker 4: reckon I could do it, and the dismount would be magnificent, splendid.
Speaker 1: Just some of the stuff she does. The one was
Speaker 1: she spins around. I don't know if you've sent the
Speaker 1: slow moo of that. She's like on one foot with
Speaker 1: one leg out and she spins like Tony Hawk does
Speaker 1: at nine hundred on it. It's like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how you could she spent a whole life on those
Speaker 1: bloody things.
Speaker 4: Speaking Tony Hawk, have you seen those nine year old
Speaker 4: kids in the skate park. I have Oh my god,
Speaker 4: that good. I was saying this yesterday in the office.
Speaker 4: This could be a hot take for a Wednesday morning.
Speaker 4: I think that if your best athletes at a sport
Speaker 4: are teenagers, it means the sport isn't very strong because
Speaker 4: I think that the only reason because skateboarding is not
Speaker 4: really popular at the moment, Like back in the nineties
Speaker 4: peak Tony Hawk days that it was big. But now
Speaker 4: if you want to be a professional skater, it's it's
Speaker 4: pretty tough.
Speaker 2: I don't think.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know so, I think if it keeps going
Speaker 1: this way, the best the medalists at the next Olympics
Speaker 1: will be in their twenties. You can't tell me that
Speaker 1: an eleven year old's better than a twenty one year
Speaker 1: old at skateboarding. Ah. They are, though, but only because
Speaker 1: people give it up at a certain point. You know,
Speaker 1: if you're twenty one, your parents are going to be like, hey,
Speaker 1: so this skateboarding thing. When you get jack that in
Speaker 1: and get a trade, well this might help and the
Speaker 1: Olympics might help it.
Speaker 4: Then yeah, that's what I'm doing. That's what you're thinking.
Speaker 4: But I think it's also the fact that they have.
Speaker 1: Very little fear.
Speaker 4: And they're like gumby rubber things who just like bend
Speaker 4: themselves over a pole and just get up and keep
Speaker 4: on skating.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that is a big part of it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, whereas an old older when I say older, anyone
Speaker 4: over twenty five is R Kelly's issues.
Speaker 1: These all sorts of issues. When we'd go on like
Speaker 1: a skiing trip at primary school, all I would do
Speaker 1: is just sit and watch the adults get off the bus.
Speaker 1: Because kids when they jump off that hit the ice
Speaker 1: and just slide underneath the bus and then just pop
Speaker 1: back up and keep going. But the adults were just
Speaker 1: like and then they can cast the shoulders done and
Speaker 1: all sorts, So I will give them that. At a
Speaker 1: certain age, it's it does become a bit of a thing.
Speaker 1: The other thing I've noticed, and this comes from last
Speaker 1: year being the voice of snowsports in New Zealand to
Speaker 1: now watching the skateboarders. If you want to worm a
Speaker 1: gold or win any competition and skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, I'll
Speaker 1: throw surfing in there. You've got to have a cool name. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you just have to have a cool name, and I
Speaker 1: don't have them in front of me. But the field
Speaker 1: for the skateboarding is today. Some of the coolest names
Speaker 1: you'll ever see, the Jossy Wells Invitational.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and also yeah, also some of the coolest people
Speaker 4: as well. I just love the fact that the skaters
Speaker 4: just wear their ear pods. Yeah, and just like just
Speaker 4: baggy T shirt, Baggy T wearless in the AirPods, just
Speaker 4: like another day at the skate park.
Speaker 2: It would drive boomers insane.
Speaker 1: Does drive boomers insane? Wait till they watch the breakdown thing.
Speaker 1: Speaking speaking of surfing, Australian surfer Jack Robinson was rescued.
Speaker 1: It almost drowned over there in Tahiti, which you don't
Speaker 1: you wouldn't presume that would happen for a professional surfer.
Speaker 1: So there was a storm coming through and he got
Speaker 1: held under water for two waves and they could at
Speaker 1: a lot of time. It is a long time, and
Speaker 1: he said it was extra hard because he's an Olympic qualifier,
Speaker 1: so his heart rate is already through the fucking roof
Speaker 1: and then he gets held under and he's like anyway,
Speaker 1: they rescued him, brought him back and he went back
Speaker 1: out and he won. How Australians there, I think he
Speaker 1: beat John John Florence. I don't know if you beat
Speaker 1: him than that heat or the one before. Cool names, Yeah,
Speaker 1: exactly John John Florence, J Flow. Yeah, there's the what's
Speaker 1: his name Medina, Gabriel Medina.
Speaker 2: I'll see the photos.
Speaker 4: Have you seen the photo of Gravy on Madina?
Speaker 1: No, there's a sex photo.
Speaker 4: So basically he goes over the back of the wave
Speaker 4: and you know how sometimes they come off their board
Speaker 4: and go airborne.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's basically him.
Speaker 4: Upright pointing at the sky and he's in the air
Speaker 4: and his board has come out behind him and it's
Speaker 4: just next to him. So he looks like g because
Speaker 4: he's suspended in the air with his finger on the
Speaker 4: cloud and his board just next time, it's the most
Speaker 4: insane photo. It's the photo of the Olympics, so I
Speaker 4: can't see anyone beating it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that is sick and another great name anyway, Jack Robinson.
Speaker 1: He's going to be in the final, I believe, against
Speaker 1: another Australian, so it's an all lazy final there and
Speaker 1: the surfing. Just finally on the Olympics, Coco Goff. She
Speaker 1: lost her singles match overnight. She had a They were
Speaker 1: calling it a meltdown. I don't think it was a meltdown.
Speaker 1: I also think it was fear. So what happened was someone,
Speaker 1: you know, her opponent, who I think was the girl
Speaker 1: who knocked Luluson out of Wimbledon. At the ball to her,
Speaker 1: it was very close to the baseline line. Umpire said,
Speaker 1: that's out. She yelled out the match. Umpire overruled it,
Speaker 1: but Coco Goff was like, what the fuck? So she
Speaker 1: didn't Yeah, I would have hit it. She didn't, yeh.
Speaker 1: So she didn't hit it. And then they said that
Speaker 1: she lost the point and she was like, what you
Speaker 1: told me? It was out? So I didn't hit it.
Speaker 1: It was too late. I had an offer to sho.
Speaker 1: I think, I think you've kind of just got to
Speaker 1: throw the shot. Then, yeah, I don't. I don't blame it.
Speaker 1: I don't blame you for blowing She just was just like,
Speaker 1: this is bullshit. You know, it was quite a tame
Speaker 1: blow up. I would have flown off the fucking handle.
Speaker 1: I saw a pretty lame headline.
Speaker 4: Same flag bearer blows up, obviously looking for a click
Speaker 4: from any country whose flag beer might have blown up.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and then I see it's tennis player who keys. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they blow up all the time, exactly. So that is
Speaker 1: your rep of the Olympics for this week. Don't expect
Speaker 1: to see that on social media because they will come
Speaker 1: for us if we post anything sleep your throat in
Speaker 1: the night. Absolutely they will. Just before we go to
Speaker 1: on air break, it is a Wednesday, and even though
Speaker 1: the Olympics are going on, we still need to hit
Speaker 1: you with another half baked sports idea, half bait sports
Speaker 1: on iDeer. I had one that I wrote yesterday and
Speaker 1: I've thrown it into the trashman this morning because my
Speaker 1: initial half baked sports idea was red zone for the Olympics.
Speaker 2: You know red zone in the NFL.
Speaker 1: So there's multiple games going on at the same time,
Speaker 1: but you just chuck on rid Zone and whoever's within
Speaker 1: scoring distance. Yes, that's the game that they put on
Speaker 1: your scraw Awesome. Yeah, it's really good for watching multiple
Speaker 1: games at the same time. So then they'll zoom out
Speaker 1: and they'll be like, now we go to the Carolina Panthers,
Speaker 1: they are on the so it's just you're just watching
Speaker 1: when people are actually going to score.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1: And I was just like, that is exactly how the
Speaker 1: Olympic coverage should be we should just be all right,
Speaker 1: someone's about to win here, someone's about to win here.
Speaker 1: That would keep you engaged. Then I watched that Gold
Speaker 1: channel that they've got on Sky Open Laz was hosting.
Speaker 2: It last night. That's basically that. Yeah it is, it's
Speaker 2: just all of the New Zealanders.
Speaker 4: But also, but also with that, the reason I think
Speaker 4: you and I agree with you, the reason why you
Speaker 4: thought we needed it was because we're not in any
Speaker 4: gold medal.
Speaker 1: Yeah that's right.
Speaker 4: So for three or four days they've just been patting
Speaker 4: with you, Beckistan Judo and Australians winning gold in the
Speaker 4: fucking swimming pool again. Yeah, and so but I think
Speaker 4: from now on on that Gold channel, that's the idea.
Speaker 4: So anytime New Zealand are going for gold, they've already
Speaker 4: thought of it. Yeah, not a half bake sports I do.
Speaker 4: It's a fully back died there that the sky. I've
Speaker 4: already had it and they're doing it. So I've got
Speaker 4: another one. This one came Courtisy of Joe Jury with
Speaker 4: a flaming hot take. Yeah, basketball, soccer, and hockey should
Speaker 4: all be played at the Winter Olympics. They all winter sports.
Speaker 4: Why are we playing them at the Summer Olympics. You
Speaker 4: don't play basketball in summer. You don't play hockey in summer,
Speaker 4: You do not play soccer in summer. I would almost
Speaker 4: throw the sevens in there, but I feel like you
Speaker 4: do play sevens in summer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they paid all year, don't they.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but rugby you.
Speaker 1: Certainly don't play in at the Commonwealth Games. Do they
Speaker 1: have a winter Commonwealth Games?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: No, they hardly have a common Wealth Games now, that's
Speaker 2: why they play the nipple of those ones.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Basketball, hockey, soccer should all be played at the
Speaker 1: Winter Olympics.
Speaker 2: That's my half bake sports.
Speaker 4: I'd argue also that ice hockey should be at the
Speaker 4: Summer Olympics.
Speaker 1: It's just indoors. So should ice skating. I feel like
Speaker 1: they are definitely winter sports.
Speaker 4: No, but everyone does it more year. Yeah, but I mean,
Speaker 4: can you go? Can you go ice skating in the
Speaker 4: middle of summer, not on an actual lake where it
Speaker 4: came from indoor arena?
Speaker 1: You can?
Speaker 4: I'm all for maybe let's just roll them all into one.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, no, I've talked about Fight Island before, where
Speaker 1: they just do everything at the exact same swat.
Speaker 2: It'll probably be in Qatar.
Speaker 4: Freeze in island and kitar for this, for this sports,
Speaker 4: we'll make it all indoors. I think snow and ice
Speaker 4: generally winter, but I just think sport. Why why do
Speaker 4: we play these sports in winter until it's time to
Speaker 4: go to the Olympics. Now, all of a sudden they're
Speaker 4: at the summer Olympics. Makes no sense to me. I've
Speaker 4: lost a little bit of respect for the Games now
Speaker 4: that I've thought of that, And.
Speaker 1: I think that people will be listening to this and
Speaker 1: think we'll think of other sports that we haven't mentioned
Speaker 1: that you actually do in winter, like as judo, a
Speaker 1: winter sport. I think I think the IOC should be
Speaker 1: ashamed of themselves. It just it's money grabbing, isn't it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it's all well and good to take the flags off
Speaker 1: the Russian athletes, But until we sought the real.
Speaker 2: Issues, you know, these games aren't going to mean anything.
Speaker 1: I love how the Russia efects. They're still there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they're just under ai in athletes international neutral so they
Speaker 1: are from nowhere.
Speaker 2: It's them and the Belarussians, Oh, the beller Ussians that
Speaker 2: they've been been to.
Speaker 1: They have not to be confused with the refugee team,
Speaker 1: which is another thing. So these are people who have
Speaker 1: left their country but aren't allowed passports for wherever they're
Speaker 1: living right now, so they're representing their country, but living
Speaker 1: outside don't know they're representing themselves, so they don't want
Speaker 1: to represent their country. So what about the country they're
Speaker 1: living in right now, Well, they don't have citizenship in
Speaker 1: those countries. So that's why the refugee team it was
Speaker 1: quite weird because it's like you go back to your
Speaker 1: village and you're like, none of you are from the
Speaker 1: same place. Most of you don't even speak the same language.
Speaker 1: Half of them are living in England. And also they
Speaker 1: ain't going home and they ain't going home, so who's
Speaker 1: going to celebrate with them? But that's my halfback sports idea, basketball, soccer,
Speaker 1: hockey should be at the Winter Olympics. Snack Change Sports
Speaker 1: Scholarship byway Lane. Yep, we've got a few more opportunities
Speaker 1: for you to win this scholarship. Do you want to
Speaker 1: win that? Chip to three two three six and as
Speaker 1: someone who has spent the last few days watching sporting
Speaker 1: highlights while eating snaky chamion chips at my desk, goes good,
Speaker 1: goes real goods. It takes chip to three two three
Speaker 1: six when we come back from this air break.
Speaker 3: Yours please, yours please, brought to you by Leader Home
Speaker 3: of the LA.
Speaker 1: Four of them to get through so far today, Lane excellent,
Speaker 1: Let's get into it. First call of yours please.
Speaker 5: Just thinking Daniel Loder sacking awesome Kiwi versus Daniel Vittori.
Speaker 5: How how good God give one.

Speaker 2: That sound like him? Daniel?
Speaker 1: This is for the Greatest New Zealander of all time,
Speaker 1: which the bracket is being cooked up right now with
Speaker 1: all the votes from social media. There are some go there,
Speaker 1: some matchups. There's some pretty full on matchups in round one.

Speaker 1: I think should we launched this on a Friday to
Speaker 1: give it a good weekend to soak the greatest New
Speaker 1: Zealander of all time.
Speaker 2: I like Daniel Loader. I think that has to be
Speaker 2: in there.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but you can't have the only reason he's picked
Speaker 4: Daniel Vittori has got the same first name.
Speaker 2: Dan verse Dan.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Okay, I don't mind that. There is an element
Speaker 1: of word association going on with these.
Speaker 4: And also, do you know what, you couldn't get a
Speaker 4: more polar opposites because Daniel Victory cannot swim.
Speaker 2: Ken Daniel Loader bowl spin.
Speaker 4: I guarantee not guarantee not so my mad interesting matchup
Speaker 4: there one maybe, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, thanks Colin for that. Another caller here yours, please.
Speaker 1: Just come up on the micro Fa Tour qualify Joey Parker. Jeez, yeah,
Speaker 1: I pick you out what you're putting down.
Speaker 2: Just the initial question was what are the teas and
Speaker 2: seeds for the Greatest New Zealander? And I actually don't
Speaker 2: think there are any?
Speaker 1: Is there any?
Speaker 4: Is there a coincidence? Because I just saw an advertisement
Speaker 4: for New Zealander of the Year. They're taking votes right now.
Speaker 4: They for New Zealander the Year. But you got it,
Speaker 4: it's gotta be a live and also.
Speaker 1: You've got a virtue signal massive lea to win New
Speaker 1: Zeander of the Year. Oh right, you know you know
Speaker 1: the individual accomplishment doesn't enough anymore? Yes, to be an
Speaker 1: element of charity?
Speaker 4: Yeah? Absolutely, And they you know it's the one where
Speaker 4: they put the big quarterway on them and right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we need to get a quarterway for our
Speaker 1: greatest New Zealander of all time. We're really stealing their
Speaker 1: thunder here No and sees I don't think you know.
Speaker 1: The last couple of days I've been saying they have
Speaker 1: to be an actual New Zealander. I'm even gonna remove that. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it can be an icon. Yeah, it could be the
Speaker 1: Oakuni carrot, that's right. Yeah, if it means something to
Speaker 1: us as New Zealanders. And you know, off the back
Speaker 1: of this, we are going to petition for it to
Speaker 1: replace the queen on the twenty dollar note, which ironically
Speaker 1: on the backside of the twenty dollar.
Speaker 2: Note, you know what's on there?
Speaker 1: Hawk?
Speaker 2: Do they ever got a permit? Have they got a
Speaker 2: permit for that? Another caller here, yours.
Speaker 6: Please captain as grab here, I'm proposing we scrap golden
Speaker 6: point in the NRL or hate heartbreaking losses for the wars,
Speaker 6: Let's bring in golden gloves where if it's a draw
Speaker 6: it full time, each coach comes down and they go
Speaker 6: hellfully either until the other person knocks the other one out. Obviously,
Speaker 6: this wouldn't work back to back week to week if
Speaker 6: you were two golden points, and then it will fall
Speaker 6: down to his assistant coach. If he's had a scrap
Speaker 6: the week before, and then go down to the trainers
Speaker 6: and physios. If there's multiple golden points, bring back to bith.
Speaker 1: I'm mind this, but I think what's going to happen
Speaker 1: is you're going to end up electing a figurehead as
Speaker 1: your coach. So Paul Gallon will all of a sudden
Speaker 1: be the Kernala Sharks.
Speaker 4: Yeah, coach Gordon Tallis and Sunny Bilber suddenly appear.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Joseph Parker may be coaching.
Speaker 1: You're one New Zealand Warriors with an assistant coaching rank
Speaker 1: of you know, Andrew Webster and Stacy Jones and that.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I just think it changes because God blessed Wavy.
Speaker 1: I think that there are a lot of coaches that
Speaker 1: would dust Wivy if it came down to golden glove.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Rocky Stewart sort of pops the mind.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's quite a psychotic individual.
Speaker 2: Runs purely on, purely on aggression.
Speaker 1: I think it's a great idea because I've for the
Speaker 1: longest time said the reason the UFC has blown up
Speaker 1: is because if you're had a rugby game and a
Speaker 1: fight breaks out on the sideline, what are you going
Speaker 1: to watch and you're gonna watch the fight. People find
Speaker 1: them exciting. People love people want to bring the Biff
Speaker 1: back into rugby league. Here's an opportunity to do that,
Speaker 1: settle it once and for all. Yeah, I love it.
Speaker 1: Golden gloves instead of golden point.
Speaker 2: It's brilliant.
Speaker 1: Another call I think is our last caller here for today?
Speaker 2: Yours please?
Speaker 1: Yeah you fellows.
Speaker 7: Hey, I'm with the black Cats announcing their seasons and whatnot,
Speaker 7: being made aware that sledging is dying.
Speaker 1: In the game of cricket, which I'm not fucking happy about.
Speaker 1: So I think it's more to do with it.
Speaker 7: There's a microphone on every inch of that pitch now,
Speaker 7: so everything has heard. So let's put our head together
Speaker 7: and come up for a few more PC sledges that
Speaker 7: are still going to cut deep but fly under the radar.
Speaker 1: What's your thoughts?
Speaker 6: Who wrote you.
Speaker 2: Must have heard some great sledging in your time.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and I think you still do here some great sledges.
Speaker 4: I think it's more psychological now. Can remember when any
Speaker 4: debutante from New Zealand goes and plays in Australia, they
Speaker 4: just get bombarded by the slipboard and guard. It's okay,
Speaker 4: made everyone gets out for a duck in their first game. Everyone,
Speaker 4: it's okay, bro, you can you know everyone no one
Speaker 4: gets over five in their first test, especially over here, mate,
Speaker 4: so no one's going to judge you, So that there
Speaker 4: is that kind of sledging. It's not about fucking your
Speaker 4: mother and eating biscuits all that kind of quite harsh
Speaker 4: move hues kind of Now it's way more. It is
Speaker 4: the mental disintegration where they're almost being nice to you
Speaker 4: but saying your shit.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: They used to call Grand Elliott and I was his
Speaker 4: nickname was Clubby because he wouldn't even make a club
Speaker 4: team in Australia. So they would make up nicknames for
Speaker 4: players and then explain what the nickname is to them.
Speaker 4: So it's not a it's not sledging as in like
Speaker 4: club sledging where you're just calling people names.
Speaker 1: Yea.
Speaker 4: And now it's getting quite deep into people's technique and
Speaker 4: what to watch out for. Mitchell Stark will be bowling
Speaker 4: and they'll be like, hey, watch it, bro, he's going
Speaker 4: to swing the first two in and second one he's
Speaker 4: going to try and see him away and catch the edge.
Speaker 4: And obviously you're being if you're a new bit. You're like,
Speaker 4: I know he's fucking with me, and the two swing too,
Speaker 4: swing out.
Speaker 1: He was right, yeah, So then the next time it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: it would just completely the worst I ever heard. And
Speaker 1: it wasn't one of those ones where they just call
Speaker 1: you a name or ask you what Brian Laura's dictats
Speaker 1: like or.
Speaker 2: Anything like that.
Speaker 1: It was it was a jet reveal and Mitchell Stark
Speaker 1: bowling him and he said, if I bowl you out here,
Speaker 1: you'll never play for the black cat to get Yeah.
Speaker 1: If I get you out, yeah, this is your last
Speaker 1: game for the black Caps Animals.
Speaker 2: And it was and I just honestly I saw fear
Speaker 2: flash across his face. I was just like, fuck it.
Speaker 1: Gee.
Speaker 4: Reval is not a player that exudes confidence either. He
Speaker 4: is a very laid dude.
Speaker 1: He's a brickwall of a man, you know. So that's
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff.
Speaker 4: That and even that, I think they're not even picking
Speaker 4: up on the stump mics because to go behind the curtains,
Speaker 4: they ride that stump mic level hard, so you don't
Speaker 4: hear everything. You only hear actually probably a fraction of
Speaker 4: what actually goes on on the field. That's why these
Speaker 4: calls for just turn it up and leave it up,
Speaker 4: because it's changed anyway. They're not abusing each other, but
Speaker 4: they are getting into each other.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and I think people love that.
Speaker 4: And if you had a channel, I don't want to
Speaker 4: do us out of a job because we're coming to
Speaker 4: you in the summer of cricket. I'd much rather listen
Speaker 4: to the stump mic than the commentation.
Speaker 1: Why don't to leave the stump mic up on our
Speaker 1: commentary and then we can walk away. Yeah, arguably less
Speaker 1: of us talking, which a lot.
Speaker 4: Of people unfortunately that are Unfortunately those levels are written
Speaker 4: by New Zealand Cricket, not by.
Speaker 2: The broadcast protecting. Yeah, yeah, they're predicting the players. But
Speaker 2: I agree.
Speaker 4: Sledging is always great and there's always the great everyone's
Speaker 4: got stories of the greatest sledge But like I said,
Speaker 4: I think it's changed slightly into that more friendly disintegration
Speaker 4: rather than straight out Murfeu's screaming and yelling.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Great, great batch of voicemails there, keep them coming through
Speaker 1: for tomorrow. We'll knock this one on the head, but
Speaker 1: we will be back tomorrow for another throwback Thursday on
Speaker 1: the Agenda podcast, we'll see then.
