Welcome to the T A B. Sports Cafe. Esh joining
us this week an Olympic gold medalist butcher Mate.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It's incredible, incredible what they managed to achieve. You guys
managed to achieve just extraordinary. How much do you put
down to the top two inches as opposed to the
physical aspect of it.
Speaker 8 (02:03):
Ah, most of that you can. Yeah, I mean everyone's
on a similar level physically, technically and stuff. So yeah,
I mean the team as a whole was buddy awesome
to be honest.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
The most successful performance for New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
I think we had the same amount of meddles as Tokyo,
but more goals.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Have you got a gold medal? You just casually not you,
I know you don't.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But the mean of the pocket look at that is it?
Is it the legit or not? Give it the bye test?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:34):
Yeah, it makes my accident the way got it on
it on the podium amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So you've devoted your life to achieving that you've done it?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What's that feel like?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
What's it feel like? Have you ever had have you
had time sufficient times sort of process?
Speaker 8 (02:52):
Not really to be honest, but like just even the
feeling like towards the finish, when I was going to
the finish realizing that I won the race, it was
just insane, you fork, Yeah, like just just a complete
overload of emotion. And then yeah, happiness obviously, and celebrating
with when you die friends and stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Apparently even slows down and things flash through your mind.
I'd imagine it must be sort of a similar thing,
like did you actually go back and process where it
all began? And you know, did you have that sort
of cathartic moment of.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
A little bit a little bit?
Speaker 8 (03:29):
I had a lot of that throughout the race, Yeah,
like just wee moments like.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
Well, and how much of it was relief as opposed
to it In other words, I can't stuff this up.
Speaker 8 (03:39):
No, no, because I just love kayaking so much. That's
like none of it. None of it was like I
needed to do something.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It was just the guy you beat was a pretty
strong favorite.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Wasn't he three last three world championships?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So why would you beat them this time?
Speaker 8 (03:58):
Uh, it's a good question. Got a bit of start
very much. Yeah, and that's probably like his strong suit
as well, Like he's a tank, super powerful. So yeah,
just got out in front.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And it's one of the few sports where you actively
can try and take out your opponent. You know, someone's
getting to a gate before you can you cut them
off and try and push them out.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Yeah, if you if you're close enough, you can like
literally just barge into them and trying to get them
out of your way. That that's that's how you overtake
in the upstreams. But yeah, luckily I had enough spaces.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
You won't let people.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
They make the mistaken indicating that's when he closes the gap.
He's one of those guys.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'm not denying that at all.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
No, that's just slightly an be Olympic sport very much driving.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Driving. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Kids in the back of the car screaming and.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
So if it is raising car rules, if you're in
the front, you can cut them off. But if you're
in the back and you tip their back, can you
It's not like the last car, you know, where.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
You can do what you want, just don't hit them
in the.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Heat, right you can mount the canoe, yeah, pad or yeah,
right you can?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You can.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You could broadside them, go straight across front of march.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
Yeah, just like if you if it rides up and
hits in the face, you'll get the squified. But from
that it's your free rein And.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
The only look with that wanted to put a negative
on it. I mean the boys you know in the
Olympics to get pants by the girls, didn't didn't they
from a New Zealander. Yeah, all the goals come out
of that is.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Sexism.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, well I don't know, because more women won gold meals,
that's why.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well no, I just I think, you know, I'm My
theory is that, as a as a can you just.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Asked me a question that you had an answer to.
You just wanted to get me out of the way,
and now you're going to answer, well, yours is.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
A really poor answer, right, you know, I think a
more considered answer might be that as a country, New
Zealand supports women's sports to a very high standard and
as a net result, it's starting to bear fruit. Brick
and I just say to that, you know, big cheer
is well done sport in New Zealand, I'd agree, trying
to make the same.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
What was a vibe like in the Olympic village. There
was a big team and you know, yeah, a lot
of success must have you made it pretty pretty fun.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah, it was sick.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Who was party asshole? I mean, let's first the three
party asshole, you know, the person who over celebrated and
probably probably.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Someone who going to medal early on and then just
hang out drinking and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I don't think you don't have to answer that if
you don't want.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Well, they kicked the seven s girls up pretty fast
from the village, so I think that I had experienced
from them.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, they're very, very, very good at celebrating. They would
have been did you so, Lydia cod d They won
the I think they call it the Open. It's Andrews,
you know, third major, like an incredible New Zealand sports person,
you know, another gold medal.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
She won't come on the show there and she doesn't
want to be.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
A part of it. Well I don't know because you
won't take my calls. But did you meet her at
the Olympics? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (07:03):
Yeah, I saw her that night after she won Open.
She was awesome, got a photo with her.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
So she we can rule her out for party asshole.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
The day after she was what she had to go
to another tournament the day after. No time.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It's a good time to travel hungover.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Yeah, part of ours on day two as well.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, when you think you've got your sort of bullet proof,
nothing's touching the sides and then who you know?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So that's good because you can help tell us all
about kayaking, and you guys can tell us all about
being a party oursehole, which.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Is well, yeah, we witnessed kayaking, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You know more about it than about it.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Got a gold middle.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Let's just look back at one of the sports that's
done really well on the show. We've had some great boxes,
you know, obviously David Tour and we had Shane Cameron
told us this great story about Mike Tyson.
Speaker 9 (07:56):
Going back to Tyson, I mean a lot of people
to know that you're in sparring with them, that's where
you want to fight them. A lot of people don't
know you can sort of give them a Tyson impersonation too,
can I Well, well I've seen it, and I think
he's going to see it as Yeah, that question it is.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Help me, story mate.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Sorry, I shouldn't be touching fascination.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (08:22):
Yeah, I spend a bit of time in Phoenix, Arizona
sparring with Tyson. You know, he's got his high picture,
you know, voice, and you know we're in a sparring session,
pretty heated spiring sessions, and he hit me hit me
load down here and Mike watched the load shots against.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Sorry, Shane, I'm trying.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
To take away and watching tonight's show.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
That was Shane Cameron.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Right and carrying on with the theme joining us Also
Joseph Parker brilliant.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I have you pull that off?
Speaker 7 (08:55):
It's a good show.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, he's Actually when I say Joseph Parker, I mean
Joseph Parker's.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Room are lovely. Welcome on board, mate, Hello, Hello, Hello, Okay.
I can't believe Rix pulled this off. This is a
coup for a shit little show like this.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So, Joseph, You've got to fight coming up? Is that right?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You know what?
Speaker 11 (09:20):
I wish I had a fight coming up. I'm actually
I'm working on fight, but I'm at the moment I'm
helping to promote David Niko and he has a fight
coming up in the next few weeks. Called to the
Nuka doctor wrote to the title.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
But there is there is a chance that you will
be hopefully fighting on the Tyson Fury undercard. Is that
what we're trying to get sorted.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
We're trying to work on on their card.
Speaker 11 (09:45):
Tyson fuis Alexander Yustik, and I feel like that's a
the biggest platform to fight on, and we're working on
lock in the fight as soon as we can. I've
been fitting ready since March the last fight.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
A big bat of boxing nowadays, Joe, I suppose it
always was was calling people out. You know that you
want to fight. Is there a bit of a skill
to that? You know, if you want to fight someone,
you key to their car or something, or barbecue gas
puddle through the front window or something.
Speaker 11 (10:12):
And if you want to fight someone just walks right
up to the punch him in the face. But you
know what, I've been doing these call out videos with
Krry Russell, a good friend of mine, but they don't
seem to be getting any traction. I feel like a
lot of people say, oh, that's a great call out,
that's awesome, But there's no real fights being made from
these videos. So it might have to have a different approach,
maybe more aggressive or yeah, I don't know, workults.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, so yeah, is that the key? You're ready to go.
You've got an opportunity to fight on this undercard. You
just need someone to fight.
Speaker 11 (10:41):
Yeah, we're working, I said, be honestly, we are working
on it. As Jiang, the Chinese men that I beat
in the last fight, wants a rematch and he's entitled
to a rematch because it's in his contract. But I
think people in Saudi Arabia and all the promoters want
other fights. So if I get the opportunity to fight
on this fight on the twenty first of December, there
would be hopefully against someone else because they've already you know,
(11:01):
had a fight with Jang and needs.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
A tough man.
Speaker 11 (11:04):
But I'd like to fight someone else who's ranked, or
someone else has something that I can get.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Your You've changed your body shape and your your your
sort of style a number of times it appears, and
obviously to get in shape for a fight, and you
say be in shape since March. That must be bloody
frustrating because you're sort of peeking and holding for a long,
long period of time. Then the fight doesn't turn up.
Do you Would you ever contemplate going into m m
A You know, I.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
Mean, no, no, please, no, no, no, listen, that's MMA is.
I respect those fighters a lot, and a lot of
them are good friends of mine, but that is a dangerous,
dangerous sport like elbows and these and getting choked out.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Listen. I like, I like to get punched in the face,
and that's it.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Yeah, And you've got to say fit, as you say,
with the diet that kind of suffer you. I mean,
you couldn't exactly just go and start eating killer prawn,
cocktail chut, some snapper chain. You're even the Sir Archer flavor,
which are both new at the moment. They wouldn't be
great for you. They're available now actually, But I mean
the diet, it must be that's something you've been focusing on,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Do you need my address to send those trips out?
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Yes, they're on the world, you know.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
I think the most.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
Important thing that I've learned in the last year of
boxing is that I never had any I had no
idea about how important food and nutrition is.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I had no idea whatsoever.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
And I had no idea about the importance of doing
the right strength conditioning, in the right.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Training, the right rest.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
That's the opposite to you.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
I employed a guy named George Lockhart who worked with
many champions around the world, John Jones, Conor McGregor, Tyson Fury,
Gnadi Golosk, and he's worked the very one and he's
made the biggest change in my career. So him and Andy
Lee together, George is here in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The moment.
Speaker 11 (12:46):
He's American and he came. He was He's been here
since April and we've just been training every day. He's
been feeding me every day. I'll put on ten kg
since the last fight because he's been feeding me six
and half seven thousand calories a day.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
So it's a job to go and train, and there's
a job to come back and eat all this food.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, but I mean your have bulked up quite significant.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't do the training staff, but I certainly do
the eating, which which has really made me sort of
more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
A boxing champion on the show, yea if we know
that you're morbidly obese, right, and you've got to wait problem.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
That's a separate episode.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
You know, we're going to get this guy for five minutes'.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
World champion, Yeah, formal world champion boxing.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Who's the best in the game at the moment. The
number one name in boxing is it Canelo.
Speaker 11 (13:35):
You got well Canlo is like in the heavyweight division,
which is one I followed the follow his interests. You
got us as number one, You got Tyson Feriy number two,
josh On number three, and I'm sitting around number four.
But Canalo is the biggest one of the biggest drawers
in boxing around the world, and he's still a big
drawer crud now.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
And we've also got with us Joseph, we've got Finn
Butcher's in here, who's Olympic gold medalist, who's seventy seven kilograms.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Seventy seven kilograms, I remember, I think I was that
weight when I was ten.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Because you you did, you am I right thinking you
went to the Colm Games, but just went professional before
the Olympics.
Speaker 11 (14:14):
I went to the Common op Games and I missed
out in the Olympics. And again, the training that I
did as an amateur, I had no idea about. I
just I was training.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
I was doing whatever I.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
Thought was right, and I was eating burgerging and eating
whatever I wanted to eat. I'm leading into these tournaments
because I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So in order for you to reclaim the heavyweight championship,
you've probably got to go up against Tyson, presumably who's
a good medias from what you know you're reading the papers. Technically,
that would be a pretty difficult fight because he's got
huge levers, he's long, he keeps his distance, whereas the
guy who beat him. His name escapes me Alexander. Yeah,
(14:55):
you'd probably be pretty keen on a go with him.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
I'd imagine I'll fight anyone. I swear honestly, I'm keen
to fight all of these guys at the top. I
want to fight you, Sick Joshua, I would say Joe Joyce,
but he has and looked good in recent times. I
like to fight Dillian White, but he's got a few
issues that he needs to sort out. I think the
best person to fight would be Usick because he's the
champion of the world. Big tising is very good. I've
(15:18):
traded Tyson it for a long time. He's got so
much for me and we're very close. But he's very furd,
got good leverage, and he's very got very good boxing.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
IQ.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
What abitt? What do you do when you're not boxing?
I can see him behind We've got the drum kit
in behind you. What what else do you do when
you're not boxing? And singing?
Speaker 11 (15:35):
When I'm not boxing, I'm training and I love to
play instruments.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I love to go fishing.
Speaker 11 (15:41):
I spent a lot of time with my kids and
my wife, and but like I said, I've got George
Locket here done from America and he's been living here
since April and we've been training every day like we're
just we've just been building and when when the fighter
is locked and then when we fly down camp, we
are going to be This is going to be the
bist shop, but we're going to be in my whole life.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Do you know this. I remember doing an interview with
you like five six years ago asking you a similar
question and your answer was quite different, Like you have
quite a different mindset now than what you were like
five six years ago, even when you won the world title.
Speaker 11 (16:13):
You've seen the Yeah, when I won the world title,
I was very young and very silly and didn't take
training all the fights that they're too seriously, like I
am now and now like I'm I think I'm content.
I'm a content fighter who is happy of life, happy
with my family, life, training life and outside life outside
of boxing, and I just feel like I'm going into
(16:35):
erfight like a happy man, but dangerous man.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
If you need someone to spar with, I'd like to
volunteer Mark as as sparring. Would that be possible, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Bloody Big Ringing might be doing a lot of running.
Put it their way.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You know.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
One thing about sparring though, when we do the sparring
phase in camp, it's very serious.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Right.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
And one thing George has taught me George is the
nutritions also strength conditioning trainer, is that when before sparring,
he'll get me to give me to have a spoon
of honey. Right, And what does does is monuca honey.
What it does is that you got to sing behind
your folk with the oral for injury receptors. And what
(17:13):
that does is that when you have the honey, the
sweetness of the honey goes up to your brain and
tricks the body that that has got more glycogen and
more energy into what it has. And so do all
of these things are very like science based.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Do you do that?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Do you do that before a fight?
Speaker 11 (17:30):
Before aspiring session, before a fight? Whatever you do inspiring
is exactly what we do for a fight. I carry
the cereal with me.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
If you guys want something, I can send you guys
some as well. You can exchange for the chips.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Well, it's funny should say that some of these flavors.
I think the Killer Porn cocktail does have honey in them.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
So that'll be that'll be the best one.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I think Mike Tyson had a slightly different approach. He
was doing other things, putting other things in his face.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Before if there was a fighter in history that you
could fight, you know, who would it be. Who would
you love to have the chance to fight against.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I would have loved to fight Make Tyson or Muhammad Ali.
Those guys go down.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
As the greatest fighters, you know, and you always want
to tiss yourself against the best in the world. And
Mike Tyson I didn't have a listen I had. I
had an experience with Mike Tyson back in Saudi Arabia.
He like I got he saw me and he was like, congratulations, champion,
your your fight with Deonce Evaluda, and we got along
real well. And as the night progressed, he started he
got angry at someone and then like next to me,
(18:30):
and then I sort of jumped in and said, Mike's
so good. He goes, I wasn't never done at you,
and I just sort of just and I just sort
of like I was like, WHOA. I don't know if
like Mike still has this sort of like timidy like timidating.
I sort of like just I just looked at him
and then I got like real like, I just went
back and watched the fight and I was like, this
(18:51):
is whoa.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
What do you make of you know, this this modern era,
this stuff with YouTubers Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight. You
know what I mean, what do you think of that?
It's sort of disrespecting the game slightly, isn't.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
It not too They bring a lot of followers, and
they bring a lot of new eyes to the sport,
and they're also giving the sport a go and boxing
is very hard to do. But there are some like
fights that are happening around the world that you know,
like mismatches and fights that just does take away from
the actual sport itself.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Yeah, I mean Mike Tyson for example, how old is he?
Speaker 7 (19:30):
But also you know, young people probably think Jake Paul
if he wins, as better than Mike Tyson kind of thing.
You know, it's it's it's annoying.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
Mismatch. That's definitely a mismatch. Mike Tyson was a great
fighter back in the day, but that was back in
the day. Mike Tyson is over fifty now and Jake Paul,
who is improving with each fight, So I think that's
a fight that's not really a lot of people will
still watch it though.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, that's a bit like Sports Cafe was a great
show back in the day, but now it's sort of
a bit old and.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Just respect. It's disrespecting podcasts.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Trying to job, respecting you, Joe putting.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You on this, making you come on, or I know
you better go up and do some training.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So I just I just want to know that you
talked about Ali and Tyson. Who's the greatest, who's the greatest,
the best ever.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Who's the best ever? Everyone?
Speaker 11 (20:29):
Everyone will see my um and Ali. I love myke Tyson.
Even though we had that run, and we'll see each other.
I still love my Tyson.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
He's the sort of guy that if you got clipped
by Mike Tyson, it'll be like almost a bed if
you wake up, if you remember that.
Speaker 11 (20:44):
I feel like even now if he clipped you will
still be very, very.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
So I'll go and call him out, practice some of
your insults on him. If you can get two years
out of it.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, all the best, mate, and hopefully you get a
new fight sort of pretty quickly, and we can't wait
to watch a fight again. Enjoy your training and don't
forget your honey.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Thy very much.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Chips are on the way, thank you, thanks mate, wreck.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Wreck's whole career of the chips coming under.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Just going.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
How many people in the in the Olympics are on royds?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I care?
Speaker 7 (21:29):
How many heteroids hemroids?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, hemrhids a big problem.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Sitting on those hard plastic boats. I mean, that's why
I asked the question.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Rick Bet with the damp you get like a damp,
you know, that's what you say.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Like a chafed hemroid.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Feel free to not answer any questions.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Because obviously there's this The steroid Olympics are being promoted. Yeah,
and I'm all for it, you know, I mean, it's
a horrible, horrible thing.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And that did you not hear me when I said
that when was seventy seven kg? Is like, you don't
need to be big powerful to be a Kayaki, you know,
inat having one hundred and twenty kg kayaker probably wouldn't work.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
It's a pound pound for pound ratio, like pound for
pound that be one of the strongest guys in the world.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Just just sticks.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
But the power lifter.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You must have just been walking around the village and
seeing these like just massive physical specimen.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Yeah, we saw this Jamaican guy. I think he was
a thrower like discus or something. He was honestly gigantic,
like his biceps were probably four times a size in
that mine in the food hallway, and he had us
a whole traders piled with food.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
And being Jamaican too, you can't think you have big
ship and run off because he'll be quick.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Because also, I don't know if you realize this, but
Finn was an Itaga University student as well.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
That's why it's the top two inches he was talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You know, yeah, so.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
I'll what's what's the plans?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Now?
Speaker 7 (22:56):
You're back, but you're heading back overseas again?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Seen you?
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Yeah, I go back on Thursday, back to France. So
I got two more races, two more World Cups to do.
So yeah, I was sort of I don't know, I
haven't done any training since yl, so is.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
It mentally to switch back on?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
It might be, yeah, but I'll just go and enjoy them.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I think you're going to try the honey thing. You
should try the honey thing.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Yeah, well, you know, we we do that, but just
with sports strength. I don't like honey so much. That
just a bit of sports strength.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's Actually, I think it's treason us to say you
don't like monooka honey in New Zealand. I think it's compulsory,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
It's very good for a lot of things. The Egyptians,
ancient Egyptians, they value it higher than gold.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And what did they use it for?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Gyptic qualities? Yeah, you know, bad burns, chafing.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
Honey.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
They Yeah, that's why it was rated so highly. And
it lasts forever to ye. So the America's buried it.
The America's Cup has started.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Did you know that.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
It will not officially? Has it's this pre tournament?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, it's the official Barcelona Yeah, I know. The question
wasn't do you know where it is? The question?
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Those an issue with it.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Now.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
It's pretty exciting that own pretty fast, probably faster than ever,
But they're just sort of sitting there like Formula one.
They're not running across the net.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I know that they are. They are, and the beauty
of that is imagine a Formula one driver trying to
get into the back seat if there was a back seat,
so one guy ran across the front door, straight under
the front of the boat to run across. Well, imagine
if you got hit by the wing.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I'm really enjoying it because John kwan Son, Luca is
in the p in the Italian boat. He's one that
the cycle or he's cycling grinder, grinder grinder on the bike.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
They're always the best reats and the most fash beautiful boat.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, isn't it. Yeah. So when you're watching, when you're
watching an America's Cup, look at Privor and you'll see the
number four. Then that's Luca Kolin.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah, it's good. Well now we've got you know another,
We're always got They're always a second team, aren't they.
We always like the Italiens.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah. And one of the difficulties so far on the show,
as you've been promoting your stuff, like you've come on here,
you push the first time I've done that, Yeah, but
you've done it nineteen times. Yeah, you can edit more
because I mean, if you look at some of your
old stories, it's a bit of a it's a bit
of a running. I mean, the All Blacks are playing
(25:15):
South Africa next week in South Africa, which we know
a bigger challenge that is. So I pulled out an
old All Black story from an old sports Cafe show
and well, yeah, you're promoting stuff on that as well.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
I learned from Mark. We're doing a sports story.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
It's all very well, just getting all the injuries and stuff.
Speaker 12 (25:30):
We're also going to get the action conaways, the team training,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
That's what we're doing now. So you just want to
pull up here, we just want to get some action shots.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
I'm just going to keep the cab running for about
twenty twenty five minutes.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
We're just going to get some cutaways and that kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
And oh I can't do it, got a go, mate,
that's it's sorry.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Well we couldn't just get the bags then, are you?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Oh I can't.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Everyone's shot.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Off.
Speaker 13 (26:12):
If do you think you've good enough for about if
you if you do get called on on the tests man.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
So obviously two four games will watch it and then
forty minutes against some ass.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
So you start a thing at rid of the rust
and the same time I think of chains are.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
A bit, how I stand a bit? Or I can
I hit something to other of it? And before it
wasn't too rusty. When I went back in teams, you think, sorry, oh.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
My god, there's big games of small games.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
But in your line of business, to be very rare
to see a small game in the environment professional environment,
because even the smaller games that you could argue that
our game the other day was a smaller game slotted
into the context before a big game between another big game,
and by the fold a big game, and this weekend's
got big them, this game is a big one, and
professional era.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Is it such things a small game nowadays?
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Or they're all big games because even the small games
up big games by default, by the fact that they
just before a big game.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
So I mean, is there such things a small game nowadays?
Speaker 11 (27:18):
Uh?
Speaker 14 (27:18):
No?
Speaker 12 (27:18):
Okay, to the untrained eye, these simularly pointless chance of
your black stretching and.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Warming up, I mean very little. But when you do.
Speaker 12 (27:29):
In a sports story, the action cutaway is vital if
your story is going off, for Christ's sake, god, oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
The first twenty minutes well side, what's going to happen?
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Is that the most.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Important places of the game.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
You can actually ask me, if you like, haven't you
got a new DVD at the moment?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Have you got a new DVD?
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I'm glad you asked, yeah, and I do.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Well, let's finally hear the Moon TVD DVD series five
or your favorite moments packed into one DVD available online.
We're at the warehouse by now.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Tell them my INSENTI you can have that and I'm
sure run the fouils.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
And hopefully the DVD's as good as the caver itself.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Is not your nat as well, that's just the case. Okay, okay,
do you want one of the DVD's. This is awkward.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
As I said, the DVD ship.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
The case itself is what we're asking.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
That's that's the real value. But I can put one
on if you wanted. All right, this is pepsi.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
When visit Australia, it's nice to come and hold a
koala there.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
That my soup pials.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I think we easily changed. But at the end of
the day.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
It's great to pop them back into nature as quick
as you can. Oh that takes me back.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Not really, What was your mind set? How did you
how did you approach the TEXTI drive and say to
your mind just we lock it in your boot.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
I really don't know. I was using them a lot
of strange stuff at that time, as as you recall, yeah, yeah,
it was interesting.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
No, no, no, chlamydia doesn't seem to make any sense whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, that's yeah, must have visited Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Out no.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Welcome down there. Yeah, I'm justsing it's a long time ago.
They've got penisil on now.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Oh yeah, bit of a stupid question, but don't suppose
it's for the show to ask it. Do you ever,
you know, do Kayking who recreationally you know, like would
you go to sort of the States Colorado or something,
and you know, do those sort of trips you know,
like maybe Pakistan or you know, Whitewater.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
That's not recreational like a stuff.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Yeah that's terrifying. Yeah, I a little bit. Yeah, I
don't have heaps of time to do it and between
training and stuff, but when I go home, I do
get on the local ones. But you haven't done many
sort of traps overseas just for that. But it does fun,
like you get to go to some cool places that you,
you know, not many other people get to go to.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
But to use you're pretty much like a Surfing World champ.
But they've got the big wave surfers like the guys
and using the canoeing parlance, who go over the over
the big water, big drops.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
You do that first ship and that's terrifying to a degree.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
New Zealand kayaker Mike Dawson, he's like the king of
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Really.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, and he coaching for a while.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Yeah, a couple of years ago he spent a season
or two with him.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Speaking of white water stuff. You know remember that movie Deliverance,
that old movie Rick was in that. Yeah, it's a
great movie. Yeah, it's it's sort of a isn't it.
It's kind of the it's kind of quite at the end,
it's all kind of it's pretty depressing. Yeah, that sort
of thing you watch with the kids.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
But if you're into kayaking, it's a great movie.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Well that's more rafting when.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You know the movie Tied, Yeah, really quite funny showing
kids that we know like four and six bad dad moment. Well,
because it's an r A team, I think yeah, they
would they would have got but yeah, exactly. But and
this is the crux of the story. They didn't get
it. It all went over their head and they thought it
was really funny at talking teddy beer using bad words, right,
But then how old were they They were like four
(31:22):
and sex. But then they got to like ten and said, well,
we've already seen it. So we should be able to
watch it again. And then they did get it. You know,
I said, well, don't show your kids, Ted, you know,
not unless you're under seven.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Yes, for an adult to take kids that young. They
both enjoy it on your levels.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Yeah, well it's like, what was it the bungal and
oh Jeffrey and Zip zip Yeah, there was some double there.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
They are obviously legends and Rainbow yeah, Rainbow. Yeah, and
we've talked of some of the legends like Ali and
Byson except yeah, who do you think was the biggest
name that we've had on sports? Good? Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:09):
George bas was pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Oh good one. We'll throw the hoeing Oh really on
the field? You think? All right, this week, I'm going
to do something special. Yeah. I used to.
Speaker 14 (32:17):
Yeah, I used to plan things and then normally get
away with it. I played one game once. I had
a bet with some friends of mine that I could
play ninety minutes without touching the ball with my right foot,
which is my natural food. And I played ninety minutes
without touching it and.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Scored three goals.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
So it was.
Speaker 14 (32:37):
I realized that I was probably the best player in
the world.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
I mean, that was it.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
And the more they threatened me. The more I loved
it because it's taking the make it out and was
the ultimate. And these two boys know, if you're the
best at your job, it's lovely to go out and
you've got a thug play against you who thinks he
can do the business.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
If they're good enough, they can't do it.
Speaker 14 (33:08):
That was my main objective, to make fun of people
and make them look small.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Yes, you do like in games.
Speaker 15 (33:14):
Now I sort of find that I tried to enjoy
myself and I do the odd silly thing now and
again because I've got confidence that you know years ago
that I used to practice the skills and you get
to the stage where you think, well, what the heck,
you just do it because you know that you're good
at it and throwing a long reverse passes.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
And doing drop goals.
Speaker 15 (33:31):
You know, everyone tells me that number eight is not
specific kick, but I'd say, well, you know, you just
do it because you want.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
To do it and you know you're good at it.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
So and you are good at it. Any, Yeah, I
love how has any just compared him so just to.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Have a drop while he did in the World Cup
on it?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, but it was I mean at his sports. And
he was a freak as well, you know.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Probably not in the George Best mold of freaks.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Well, we'll not.
Speaker 7 (33:58):
Comparing myself to George Best. But he played a whole
game just touching it with one foot. I plaid a
whole ninety minutes touch it with no foot feet, no feet,
neither foot.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah soccer, yeah yeah, you goalie, no striker.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
He just never got the ball. Do you remember when
George Best came on?
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Yeah? I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
He came, he came, He was doing a Do you
know who George beat was? He was a brilliant soccer
player through the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
He was like a rock star, like we'd be wearing
fur coat, mint coats and English can't do anymore North Irish.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
They called him the fifth Beatle. He's like a Beatle
and he was he married Miss World. He just he was. Yeah,
it would be the equivalent of George Best.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Now.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
He tapped out pretty well.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
He went to America, didn't He started playing over there,
but in America then came back to the UK just
like was the most like, apart from just being really
good at what he did, he was so entertaining the
way he played well.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Americana put a bit of a nudgetam, didn't he? I
mean he was certainly he had the off field, yes,
pretty much nailed.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
There's been in our since.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
This will be nobody else since who's sort of.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
We don't really have sports stars like him anymore because
they're a lot more disciplined, not more focused.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
There's nothing like a rock and roller. I've been saying
to my kid, you know, I've been trying to get
into drums since he was young, and he can play
the drums quite well, but not he doesn't want to
keep going with it. That if you do that, you
can go into a hotel and throw TV's out of
windows if you're get an absolute banging rock and roll.
And that's when he picked up his first drum stick.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
But there was the motivation.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
That was the motivation. Are these people they own the world?
A rock and roll start owns the world. You do
whatever you want whenever you can.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
We just examine your fathering style because you're watching showing
young children ted and then explains if you want to make.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Some children somebody else's children.
Speaker 7 (35:52):
Not The TVs aren't even right for that anymore. I
mean big flat screens it's not the same.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
With the four legs that you needed two people to
lug it out of the window.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
There's no real skill and throwing a flat screen.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Washing machine out of a window. And in Edinburgh were
in the band.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, why was that?
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Yeah, we came back one night about four stories up
washing machine. Was the guy that was supposed to repair it.
He wouldn't repair it.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
So we had a few beers and said stuff and
so we threw it out the back window.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Being vetched into pieces to be rock and roll.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Yeah. Then the next morning these kind of well kind
of hit men arrived into the apartment at six in
the morning, seven in the morning and told us we've
got like forty five seconds to get out of the
get out of the place, and then you get your
stuff and get there out these big guys, big skinhead guys.
And as I was walking out, the guy goes, why'd
(36:45):
you do it? They were walking fused. Then then that's
just not normal.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Hey, do I tell you I threw a photocopy out
the window at work onto the deck bloone only hit
Rob five and a leisure he was he was doing
a pilates class or something when he was with Rice
breaker not good.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
A few tips. Please do not throw anything out out
of a window. No electrical appliances.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Oh well, why not. If you've got to do it,
film it. I'll go back to the office and shut
the window through the Photocopya. It was not one of
those small ones either. It was one of those commercial ones.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
But it jammed, had paper jams you through it?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Yeah, roll it, roll it, Jack that up and over
the edge?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Did you think of clearing the paper jam?
Speaker 5 (37:30):
My?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Pay too hard. I know where and what I can
do certain things that.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
You know you can lift and throw a photocopyre.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
But time it had done it right.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
So there was the photocopy's fault.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:43):
I know someone at a Christmas party who was trying
to photocopy there ass and got one of their tests.
Speaker 6 (37:49):
Called them the rollers of the got a paper jam
technically making love.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Can I ask how well you know this person?
Speaker 6 (37:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Is it you? I know a person I had to
get the ubitsky.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
We'd come around to clear it.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Give them some of that solvent to take the take
the take the off.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Just throw it out the window attached.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah, better than pulling a tooth, right, I'm not sure.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
Late night call odd again.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Okay again.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah, So let's let's talk about my t A B
bets this week. Well, I blame them on you before.
I don't eat those chaps because they're too noisy on
the microphone.
Speaker 7 (38:34):
Quick onnaway setting it up there.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Sorry, it all got boring all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Okay, okay, Right. So I put a lot of money
on the Warriors because it was Sean Johnson's farewell game.
I thought that they'd be up for that game. I
thought Sean would set up a couple of tries and.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
They were for the first half win they yeah, yeah, don't.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Don't that's good.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
You know, for the last ten weeks, you've never ever
talked into your microphone and suddenly you got some potato
chips and you were right on, Mike, that's a gift.
So we lost a lot of money on the Warriors.
I also thought put some money on Auckland Rugby didn't
come through. But the good news is I put a
bit of money on Newcastle and Bournemouth to draw in
(39:25):
the Premier League and that's what happened, right, Yeah, I
think it was yeah, number two dog man, number two dog. Yeah,
Well you said number two dogs. Put it on the
note blue and white hoops. I just haven't found that
combination yet.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Well, have you had a lock?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah, that's the point.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yeah, on the show, we have something uplifting, something positive
each week, and no one sends me anything. Did you
think of something?
Speaker 6 (39:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Did you send it to me?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Well? I just sort of it now. I forgot it
was a regular theme, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yes, And we've done ten shows, and we've done it
on nine of them, and this is the tenth anything
from you Lee that's uplifting the positive that's gonna send
it in later on?
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Okay, ye yeah, Well I'll tell.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
You I think this was pretty uplifting. You know the
snacker CHANKI yeh yeah, you flavors out now uplifting?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Yeah, yeah, that's not what I was looking for. Here's something,
here's an example happened. This is this is the sort
of thing. That's something I found when.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I look at the waves coming in and out on
the beach. But it reminds me of the great the
greatness of the bad things in life.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Man.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
You need to inhale and exhale to breathe. It cannot
be in inhale. Man. You need the dark times. You
need the low tides. You need the things that build you.
It's only when the chips are down you get to
see who you really are. Man, if you're in a
low tide time in your life, remember that the high
tide is coming. The moon in the sun are coming
out shining, and they're gonna bring you up. Brother, keep on,
you just gotta be patient.
Speaker 6 (40:55):
It comes.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Man.
Speaker 6 (40:56):
It can't stay bad forever.
Speaker 8 (40:57):
It can't stay good for ever. That's the beauty of
them both.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Brut r nothing can stay forever, and that's what makes
it precious.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
I love y'all.
Speaker 7 (41:04):
Man, it's uplifting, But if you pull that camera out,
you'd realize he's got no pants on, and all of
a sudden, it's not quite as you know, powerful funnily enough.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I mean, I was just I hadn't made it. University
had crabs seven times, and he would always threaten to
flick them in your underdrawer.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
You know, Yeah, this uplifting.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Well, No, I was just going to say that guy's
bloody here. If he got crabs, he'd been trying to
get rid of them for years.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
He reminds me of sort of a cross between you
and and Sunny Bonot. That guy, no Sonny and cheer Yep,
yeah he did didn't Well, yeah, I mean but I
found that uplifting. Did you not find that uplifting?
Speaker 3 (41:41):
I couldn't stop steering at the fact that I was
thinking about.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
So there's another.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Leave out that name, but just thinking of him flicking
as you know.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
So you you you listen to that beautiful uplift things.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Stated didn't listen to. I just looked at the guy
and thought he's a prime candidate for crab flickering.
Speaker 7 (42:05):
Yeah, I such a big thing nowadays, is it.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
No, you don't hear about it. Mind you we're not
at university anymore. You're a bit younger.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Crab saving.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
The manscaping is kind of true.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
I mean, Tom Selleck hard to get rid of, you know,
but you know somebody clean shaven, like a brad pit
grizzly Adams.
Speaker 5 (42:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Well so that was my uplifting thing that's gone off
on a awful tangent that hasn't gone away. I wanted.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, I was going to be a Bud Spenser. Seriously,
I mean, you could hide anywhere. That's been impossible. It's
like somebody who got the crabs after the guy who
was saying about he put louded himself up and they
came back about two weeks later. Then he went to
the doctor. The doc said said, did you do your
(43:02):
ass crack? Because they hide up.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
There come scurrying back out.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
So he was back on the whatever the soap was for.
Speaker 6 (43:08):
Another company said one of those fly spray things on
the time off.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
Well, the seventh time he got it as old man said,
what are you urging for?
Speaker 4 (43:16):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Come here, and he had them on his arm. He said, yes,
you've got crabs, he said. He said to his wife,
bring bring the black flag, made him drop his pants
in front of the family and sprayed him with black flag.
You can't do that anymore. That's hr Yeah, yeah, so
good parenting.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
As I said, that's not quite the direction I was
hoping to from that piece of video. The one person
that did send us in some video is Lana Kokroft,
who that's nice. And this was also quite uplifting, you
know for me in.
Speaker 13 (43:46):
Particular, is it is it real or yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:58):
I'm not sure why she sent it to me?
Speaker 3 (43:59):
What what's it doing? And like it's like in a stadium,
it's an ice skating rens stadium. Yeah, but like.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
It's had a marine mate.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Oh okay, fair enough. I thought it was like on
a basketball.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
So it's basically what would that be an elephant seal
or just just the seal?
Speaker 3 (44:17):
It might be a leopard baby leopard.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Yeah, I think it's a leopard seal, just bouncing along
in its stomach.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Lovely. It's a sound that it makes. Can we turn
that sound up again?
Speaker 8 (44:24):
They always move?
Speaker 2 (44:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (44:25):
On land, I think, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
That's a sound. You shut your eyes and listened to that? Yeah,
said something different.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
I don't know why did you see that?
Speaker 6 (44:38):
To me, it's a kind of do gone?
Speaker 7 (44:41):
Could she?
Speaker 3 (44:41):
She just amenities don't splash around upside very grace of underwater,
But you don't.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
You don't go out in the ocean and do any kayaking.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Not often.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Have you ever seen that? Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 4 (44:54):
Or not?
Speaker 2 (44:54):
You wouldn't se amenity down there, but amenatees and the
dou goone, so it just seals seals. Have you seen
a few seals out in the needing sharks?
Speaker 8 (45:03):
No sharks, I haven't seen any sharks. Those cooled dolphins
were the small Yeah, but no no sharks.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Hell, how much technology is and kakes all the kayaks
the same, your pedals are the same or are you
looking for an edge and technology a little bit?
Speaker 8 (45:22):
They're pretty they're all pretty similar. In the kayak cross
they're all blue, which they look similar, but there's about
three or four different companies that make them and they
just plastic, pretty pretty low tick.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Can you make out of any any product?
Speaker 8 (45:35):
Or yea, they have to be plastic. They have to
be mash produced as well. I should be able to
eye eighteen heroos, So you.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
Can't sort of go and work with some scientists and go,
let's let's.
Speaker 8 (45:47):
Keep and the slalom it up. Yeah, so the slalom
you can basically do it either. They have to be
nine kilos and three and a half meters long.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
But apart from that, you're free because you started out
doing salom, didn't you.
Speaker 7 (45:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (45:58):
Yeah, so I do basically like sort of started off,
don't well, kind of all kayaking and then yeah, mostly
slalom for training and racing stuff and then both.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
When started making ka cross in the Olympic sport, did
you really sort of get excited because you're like, I'm
really good at that competer to the start?
Speaker 8 (46:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think so. It makes from down south,
I reckon. It was just like we did it all
the time, just on like natural rivers.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
So you've been training for it your whole life sort
of yeah, like not exactly that, but yeah, because each
other aggressive nature of Southern races, like no rules as that.
Speaker 8 (46:30):
Something in that I reckon. Yeah, something key about it
curling as well, I'd imagine I used to debble. Yeah,
it's so fun.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
It's a lot of fun with curling, isn't it. Curling.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
Yeah, we were.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
A little tram and you get all dressed up for it.
Speaker 8 (46:45):
Yeah, Alexandra Ice Rind.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
We entered the Nationals.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
We won. We beat the New Zealand champions in one end.
This was me and Ben the human cannibal. We beat
them at one end and we said, ship mate, this
could be our sport. So we entered the Nationals, went
down there and got pants by one guy with one
league and one arm type thing.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
That's horrible.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
Yeah, we thought we had a chance because it was
just a fluky end.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Right and all that.
Speaker 3 (47:16):
Oh yeah, a great sport. No, not much point, you
chuck it.
Speaker 8 (47:21):
My favorite one at the Winter Olympics are Yeah, curling
so good.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Oh yeah, it's a passionate sports. It's a lot of
screaming and yelling.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
And it's a great drinking game, isn't it. You know, yeah,
as opposed to the Olympic, you know where you can't
really you.
Speaker 8 (47:36):
Know, you can't indulge in too many beers before it's.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
You know, there's not many Olympic sports. Is an Olympic
sport Winter Olympic. Not many Olympic sports where you can
actually have a little dram while you're doing it.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
I don't think at the Olympics they drink during the
during the gil.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
I don't think you want to be posed. It's not
a performance enhancing.
Speaker 7 (47:53):
You look a bit of an idiot. If you showed
up to the Summer Olympics before you're curling, you in that,
you got the season wrung a whole year, just sit
in the village of everyone else really hot.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
And then the other sport I wanted to bring up
was tree climbing. We once had a professional tree climber
on sports Cafe. I think we had a couple. Here's
one of them.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
Yeah, what's what's the most difficult tree to climb? Do
you think?
Speaker 5 (48:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (48:23):
Yeah, right?
Speaker 3 (48:23):
Mature mature hungers are difficult though, because if you go.
Then they've got those fairy bristles and it can quite
often get stuck in.
Speaker 8 (48:29):
Your throat larynx.
Speaker 5 (48:31):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
I've gone up a few pungers.
Speaker 8 (48:33):
What are you doing going upper?
Speaker 4 (48:34):
Pan?
Speaker 8 (48:34):
That's a scar from a punker.
Speaker 15 (48:35):
How are you doing going upper?
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Admittedly I was a little where you try and get
to the top of them.
Speaker 7 (48:42):
The punger.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Looks rewarding, but you've got to sort of come out
and climb underneath the mushroom to get on top of it,
which is easy.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Said. Tree climbing is one of your special skills, isn't
It used to be not so much now, did you.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
I was at a party with the human cannibal and
there was a why does he keep on coming up?
There was a cabbage tree about five meters off the deck,
and we said, the human cannibal surely can fly and
take that tree out, because the old man, the dad
who owed the house, said, I hate that bloody tree
at blocked my view. So he just ripped off his
(49:19):
shirt and gave it the old unleasure me and we
cleared a room and he just tore at this thing
and dove and all you saw was his hand as
it went past, and he missed the tree completely and
just disappeared through the foliage and we just heard warm
and we didn't hear or anything, and it must the
(49:39):
drop would have been eight meters and he's landed, landed
flat like a pancake on the neighbour's driveway and just
hadn't moved. He got he got up, he walked off,
he walked away from it all.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
And well, thanks for joining us on sports Cafe and
getting an education into Mark's past.
Speaker 3 (49:58):
No, mate, these guys deal with a lot more risk
than we do and never ever done.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yeah, is there any risk in the actual art like that?
Looks the big quite a scary thing, Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 5 (50:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (50:11):
Well, sometimes the ramp doesn't drop properly, so it can
go halfway and then all of a sudden you sort
of get kept over there, do you even know?
Speaker 2 (50:20):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (50:21):
And one of the races this year in Prague, the
World Cups, that one of the girls that mucked it
up and you're sort of supposed to land a bit
flat so you skip out, you know, And she went
over the handlebars and went straight down and the water
is only sort of, i don't know, a meter deep
maybe and just bom straight and.
Speaker 2 (50:37):
Like smoked ankles.
Speaker 8 (50:39):
Yeah, because it's like landing on concrete from a couple
of meters.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
I mean, he's got to be something that's a clerical error. Yeah,
some recompense if you get your legs broken because the yeah,
you're just sorry, hard luck.
Speaker 8 (50:52):
It's yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
So where's your next event?
Speaker 8 (50:56):
Uh in Avraya, which is like an hour west of Milan,
And so yeah, and then we go to Spain.
Speaker 7 (51:03):
Do you feel any pressure now because it's gonna gow
Olympic go meddle winner now, you know, do you are
you feeling that kind of pressure at the World's at
the Championship?
Speaker 8 (51:12):
Not yet, but there might be a bit of a
target on my back, I suppose. But yeah, I mean
we all know each other pretty well, so yeah, I'll
be keen to keen top.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
But does it give you confidence going into the next
two like the Olympic champion, I can beat anyone, But.
Speaker 8 (51:26):
Of that, yeah, I mean, like it's kind of one
of those things, right, you know you can do it,
you know you can win you know, every race you
go to, but until it actually happens, you know, it's
kind of just.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
That was this question earlier. Is it a sense of
relief or was it just exhilaration. You see a complete exhilaration.
Now you've got the cross on your back, it'll probably
be relief.
Speaker 8 (51:47):
Yeah, but it's also I mean, anything can happen in
that bloody thing. That's it's pretty hiccked. Actually know, someone
can just take you out if you're not in front
and in your day early, so who knows. I mean,
it's just it's pretty fun wrappings.
Speaker 3 (52:04):
Congratulations, right, appreciate.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
You said anything could happen, and what happened was your
greatest day ever and results possible and you lift it up.
We were so excited for you, so thank you so
much for joining us, and hopefully you know the psychological
work you'll need to do after this show. We'll sort
of get you back to.
Speaker 3 (52:25):
If you died tomorrow, you know, would you get buried
with it or would you leave it to your kids?
Speaker 8 (52:30):
I reckon I'd leave it to my kids. Let them
check it out. Yeah, often wonder don't have kids yet.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
But okay, leave it when you do get kids, perhaps
wait till they're sort of in the late teens before
you show them tips.
Speaker 8 (52:42):
Yeah, I've got a few few things noted from you.
Speaker 3 (52:45):
You've been writing them over the head.
Speaker 7 (52:49):
But I remember about my uncle's funeral crematorium. At the crematorium,
he was he was a Kiwi, you know, he was
for the service. He had his Kiwi jacket on, you know, believe, and.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
He was I'm explaining it to the listeners.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
He was like all of us, you know, and.
Speaker 7 (53:18):
And but obviously they don't want to get cremated with
the Kiwi jersey on. You know, it's a really awkward scene.
I remember my father talking to the guy running the
funeral home, going, look, would mind getting that jacket off?
And at the moment, just like he was trying to
the guys going what you can't do that said well, no,
he's not supposed to have it on at this point.
(53:39):
You know, that was only for the thing, and it
was actually quite awkward. And I think he does what
do you want to shoes as well?
Speaker 3 (53:46):
Yeah, I mean he wasn't a full mind. He didn't
know why what he was wearing.
Speaker 7 (53:50):
Now, yeah, you know, I think we've got to make Yeah,
it's good to cut it off.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
It's just it's just end it now.
Speaker 7 (54:04):
Get it out and get it up.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
Picking see half asleep those.
Speaker 2 (54:10):
Titles, Please, can we can we can we stop before
we get into more trouble?
Speaker 4 (54:20):
H m hm
This is an iHeart Radio New Zealand podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Don't don't eat them more of a micro songe eyes shut.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
The chilly one. Oh yeah, now we're talking.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 5 (00:22):
Look at that.
Speaker 6 (00:26):
A little bit of keeping that one.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Mm hmm.
Speaker 2 (00:30):
Well do you think they are a good idea to have?
What are we doing a podcast?
Speaker 7 (00:33):
What potato chips?
Speaker 5 (00:34):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (00:34):
Of course it's like a company. It's like a company
lounge scene.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
By eating potato chips into a microphone with company. Don't
because the paper the thing's really noisy as well.
Speaker 3 (00:49):
But well Peckett m hm. The podcasts out there that
are much bigger than this, which people just eat food
food podcasts are they? They eat them and make it.
Speaker 7 (01:02):
Maybe we should dedicate this whole episode, or maybe the
whole podcast to patato ships.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
It's a snack a changy potato.
Speaker 7 (01:09):
Okay, well you want to go that far?
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Have you guys met them?
Speaker 7 (01:13):
Oh?
Speaker 2 (01:14):
Yeah, yeah?
Speaker 7 (01:14):
What do you think of those men? Party?
Speaker 6 (01:16):
Dangerously Killer Prawn Cocktail brand new out now.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
Welcome to the T A B. Sports Cafe. Esh joining
us this week an Olympic gold medalist butcher Mate.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
It's incredible, incredible what they managed to achieve. You guys
managed to achieve just extraordinary. How much do you put
down to the top two inches as opposed to the
physical aspect of it.
Speaker 8 (02:03):
Ah, most of that you can. Yeah, I mean everyone's
on a similar level physically, technically and stuff. So yeah,
I mean the team as a whole was buddy awesome
to be honest.
Speaker 7 (02:14):
The most successful performance for New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (02:17):
I think we had the same amount of meddles as Tokyo,
but more goals.
Speaker 2 (02:21):
Have you got a gold medal? You just casually not you,
I know you don't.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
But the mean of the pocket look at that is it?
Is it the legit or not? Give it the bye test?
Speaker 4 (02:33):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (02:34):
Yeah, it makes my accident the way got it on
it on the podium amazing.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
So you've devoted your life to achieving that you've done it?
Speaker 2 (02:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
What's that feel like?
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (02:45):
What's it feel like? Have you ever had have you
had time sufficient times sort of process?
Speaker 8 (02:52):
Not really to be honest, but like just even the
feeling like towards the finish, when I was going to
the finish realizing that I won the race, it was
just insane, you fork, Yeah, like just just a complete
overload of emotion. And then yeah, happiness obviously, and celebrating
with when you die friends and stuff.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Apparently even slows down and things flash through your mind.
I'd imagine it must be sort of a similar thing,
like did you actually go back and process where it
all began? And you know, did you have that sort
of cathartic moment of.
Speaker 2 (03:27):
A little bit a little bit?
Speaker 8 (03:29):
I had a lot of that throughout the race, Yeah,
like just wee moments like.
Speaker 7 (03:33):
Well, and how much of it was relief as opposed
to it In other words, I can't stuff this up.
Speaker 8 (03:39):
No, no, because I just love kayaking so much. That's
like none of it. None of it was like I
needed to do something.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It was just the guy you beat was a pretty
strong favorite.
Speaker 8 (03:52):
Wasn't he three last three world championships?
Speaker 2 (03:55):
So why would you beat them this time?
Speaker 8 (03:58):
Uh, it's a good question. Got a bit of start
very much. Yeah, and that's probably like his strong suit
as well, Like he's a tank, super powerful. So yeah,
just got out in front.
Speaker 2 (04:10):
And it's one of the few sports where you actively
can try and take out your opponent. You know, someone's
getting to a gate before you can you cut them
off and try and push them out.
Speaker 8 (04:20):
Yeah, if you if you're close enough, you can like
literally just barge into them and trying to get them
out of your way. That that's that's how you overtake
in the upstreams. But yeah, luckily I had enough spaces.
Speaker 7 (04:34):
You won't let people.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
They make the mistaken indicating that's when he closes the gap.
He's one of those guys.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
I'm not denying that at all.
Speaker 3 (04:41):
No, that's just slightly an be Olympic sport very much driving.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
Driving. Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 7 (04:50):
Kids in the back of the car screaming and.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
So if it is raising car rules, if you're in
the front, you can cut them off. But if you're
in the back and you tip their back, can you
It's not like the last car, you know, where.
Speaker 8 (05:00):
You can do what you want, just don't hit them
in the.
Speaker 3 (05:03):
Heat, right you can mount the canoe, yeah, pad or yeah,
right you can?
Speaker 2 (05:08):
You can.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
You could broadside them, go straight across front of march.
Speaker 8 (05:12):
Yeah, just like if you if it rides up and
hits in the face, you'll get the squified. But from
that it's your free rein And.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
The only look with that wanted to put a negative
on it. I mean the boys you know in the
Olympics to get pants by the girls, didn't didn't they
from a New Zealander. Yeah, all the goals come out
of that is.
Speaker 7 (05:31):
Sexism.
Speaker 2 (05:32):
Yeah, well I don't know, because more women won gold meals,
that's why.
Speaker 3 (05:37):
Well no, I just I think, you know, I'm My
theory is that, as a as a can you just.
Speaker 2 (05:43):
Asked me a question that you had an answer to.
You just wanted to get me out of the way,
and now you're going to answer, well, yours is.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
A really poor answer, right, you know, I think a
more considered answer might be that as a country, New
Zealand supports women's sports to a very high standard and
as a net result, it's starting to bear fruit. Brick
and I just say to that, you know, big cheer
is well done sport in New Zealand, I'd agree, trying
to make the same.
Speaker 7 (06:07):
What was a vibe like in the Olympic village. There
was a big team and you know, yeah, a lot
of success must have you made it pretty pretty fun.
Speaker 8 (06:14):
Yeah, it was sick.
Speaker 3 (06:16):
Who was party asshole? I mean, let's first the three
party asshole, you know, the person who over celebrated and
probably probably.
Speaker 7 (06:24):
Someone who going to medal early on and then just
hang out drinking and stuff.
Speaker 2 (06:29):
I don't think you don't have to answer that if
you don't want.
Speaker 8 (06:33):
Well, they kicked the seven s girls up pretty fast
from the village, so I think that I had experienced
from them.
Speaker 2 (06:38):
Yeah, they're very, very, very good at celebrating. They would
have been did you so, Lydia cod d They won
the I think they call it the Open. It's Andrews,
you know, third major, like an incredible New Zealand sports person,
you know, another gold medal.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
She won't come on the show there and she doesn't
want to be.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
A part of it. Well I don't know because you
won't take my calls. But did you meet her at
the Olympics? Yeah?
Speaker 8 (07:03):
Yeah, I saw her that night after she won Open.
She was awesome, got a photo with her.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
So she we can rule her out for party asshole.
Speaker 8 (07:14):
The day after she was what she had to go
to another tournament the day after. No time.
Speaker 3 (07:19):
It's a good time to travel hungover.
Speaker 6 (07:20):
Yeah, part of ours on day two as well.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Yeah, when you think you've got your sort of bullet proof,
nothing's touching the sides and then who you know?
Speaker 2 (07:31):
So that's good because you can help tell us all
about kayaking, and you guys can tell us all about
being a party oursehole, which.
Speaker 6 (07:36):
Is well, yeah, we witnessed kayaking, that's for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:39):
You know more about it than about it.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Got a gold middle.
Speaker 2 (07:45):
Let's just look back at one of the sports that's
done really well on the show. We've had some great boxes,
you know, obviously David Tour and we had Shane Cameron
told us this great story about Mike Tyson.
Speaker 9 (07:56):
Going back to Tyson, I mean a lot of people
to know that you're in sparring with them, that's where
you want to fight them. A lot of people don't
know you can sort of give them a Tyson impersonation too,
can I Well, well I've seen it, and I think
he's going to see it as Yeah, that question it is.
Speaker 2 (08:14):
Help me, story mate.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Sorry, I shouldn't be touching fascination.
Speaker 7 (08:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 10 (08:22):
Yeah, I spend a bit of time in Phoenix, Arizona
sparring with Tyson. You know, he's got his high picture,
you know, voice, and you know we're in a sparring session,
pretty heated spiring sessions, and he hit me hit me
load down here and Mike watched the load shots against.
Speaker 7 (08:36):
Sorry, Shane, I'm trying.
Speaker 10 (08:41):
To take away and watching tonight's show.
Speaker 6 (08:45):
That was Shane Cameron.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
Right and carrying on with the theme joining us Also
Joseph Parker brilliant.
Speaker 3 (08:54):
I have you pull that off?
Speaker 7 (08:55):
It's a good show.
Speaker 2 (08:57):
Yeah, he's Actually when I say Joseph Parker, I mean
Joseph Parker's.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
Room are lovely. Welcome on board, mate, Hello, Hello, Hello, Okay.
I can't believe Rix pulled this off. This is a
coup for a shit little show like this.
Speaker 2 (09:16):
So, Joseph, You've got to fight coming up? Is that right?
Speaker 5 (09:19):
You know what?
Speaker 11 (09:20):
I wish I had a fight coming up. I'm actually
I'm working on fight, but I'm at the moment I'm
helping to promote David Niko and he has a fight
coming up in the next few weeks. Called to the
Nuka doctor wrote to the title.
Speaker 2 (09:35):
But there is there is a chance that you will
be hopefully fighting on the Tyson Fury undercard. Is that
what we're trying to get sorted.
Speaker 5 (09:43):
We're trying to work on on their card.
Speaker 11 (09:45):
Tyson fuis Alexander Yustik, and I feel like that's a
the biggest platform to fight on, and we're working on
lock in the fight as soon as we can. I've
been fitting ready since March the last fight.
Speaker 7 (09:56):
A big bat of boxing nowadays, Joe, I suppose it
always was was calling people out. You know that you
want to fight. Is there a bit of a skill
to that? You know, if you want to fight someone,
you key to their car or something, or barbecue gas
puddle through the front window or something.
Speaker 11 (10:12):
And if you want to fight someone just walks right
up to the punch him in the face. But you
know what, I've been doing these call out videos with
Krry Russell, a good friend of mine, but they don't
seem to be getting any traction. I feel like a
lot of people say, oh, that's a great call out,
that's awesome, But there's no real fights being made from
these videos. So it might have to have a different approach,
maybe more aggressive or yeah, I don't know, workults.
Speaker 2 (10:34):
Yeah, so yeah, is that the key? You're ready to go.
You've got an opportunity to fight on this undercard. You
just need someone to fight.
Speaker 11 (10:41):
Yeah, we're working, I said, be honestly, we are working
on it. As Jiang, the Chinese men that I beat
in the last fight, wants a rematch and he's entitled
to a rematch because it's in his contract. But I
think people in Saudi Arabia and all the promoters want
other fights. So if I get the opportunity to fight
on this fight on the twenty first of December, there
would be hopefully against someone else because they've already you know,
(11:01):
had a fight with Jang and needs.
Speaker 5 (11:02):
A tough man.
Speaker 11 (11:04):
But I'd like to fight someone else who's ranked, or
someone else has something that I can get.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
Your You've changed your body shape and your your your
sort of style a number of times it appears, and
obviously to get in shape for a fight, and you
say be in shape since March. That must be bloody
frustrating because you're sort of peeking and holding for a long,
long period of time. Then the fight doesn't turn up.
Do you Would you ever contemplate going into m m
A You know, I.
Speaker 11 (11:30):
Mean, no, no, please, no, no, no, listen, that's MMA is.
I respect those fighters a lot, and a lot of
them are good friends of mine, but that is a dangerous,
dangerous sport like elbows and these and getting choked out.
Speaker 5 (11:45):
Listen. I like, I like to get punched in the face,
and that's it.
Speaker 7 (11:48):
Yeah, And you've got to say fit, as you say,
with the diet that kind of suffer you. I mean,
you couldn't exactly just go and start eating killer prawn,
cocktail chut, some snapper chain. You're even the Sir Archer flavor,
which are both new at the moment. They wouldn't be
great for you. They're available now actually, But I mean
the diet, it must be that's something you've been focusing on,
isn't it.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
Do you need my address to send those trips out?
Speaker 7 (12:11):
Yes, they're on the world, you know.
Speaker 5 (12:14):
I think the most.
Speaker 11 (12:15):
Important thing that I've learned in the last year of
boxing is that I never had any I had no
idea about how important food and nutrition is.
Speaker 5 (12:23):
I had no idea whatsoever.
Speaker 11 (12:25):
And I had no idea about the importance of doing
the right strength conditioning, in the right.
Speaker 5 (12:29):
Training, the right rest.
Speaker 7 (12:30):
That's the opposite to you.
Speaker 11 (12:32):
I employed a guy named George Lockhart who worked with
many champions around the world, John Jones, Conor McGregor, Tyson Fury,
Gnadi Golosk, and he's worked the very one and he's
made the biggest change in my career. So him and Andy
Lee together, George is here in New Zealand.
Speaker 2 (12:46):
The moment.
Speaker 11 (12:46):
He's American and he came. He was He's been here
since April and we've just been training every day. He's
been feeding me every day. I'll put on ten kg
since the last fight because he's been feeding me six
and half seven thousand calories a day.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
Wow.
Speaker 5 (13:00):
So it's a job to go and train, and there's
a job to come back and eat all this food.
Speaker 3 (13:03):
Yeah, but I mean your have bulked up quite significant.
Speaker 2 (13:07):
I don't do the training staff, but I certainly do
the eating, which which has really made me sort of
more aggressive.
Speaker 3 (13:15):
A boxing champion on the show, yea if we know
that you're morbidly obese, right, and you've got to wait problem.
Speaker 7 (13:22):
That's a separate episode.
Speaker 3 (13:24):
You know, we're going to get this guy for five minutes'.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
World champion, Yeah, formal world champion boxing.
Speaker 3 (13:30):
Who's the best in the game at the moment. The
number one name in boxing is it Canelo.
Speaker 11 (13:35):
You got well Canlo is like in the heavyweight division,
which is one I followed the follow his interests. You
got us as number one, You got Tyson Feriy number two,
josh On number three, and I'm sitting around number four.
But Canalo is the biggest one of the biggest drawers
in boxing around the world, and he's still a big
drawer crud now.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
And we've also got with us Joseph, we've got Finn
Butcher's in here, who's Olympic gold medalist, who's seventy seven kilograms.
Speaker 11 (14:02):
Seventy seven kilograms, I remember, I think I was that
weight when I was ten.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Because you you did, you am I right thinking you
went to the Colm Games, but just went professional before
the Olympics.
Speaker 11 (14:14):
I went to the Common op Games and I missed
out in the Olympics. And again, the training that I
did as an amateur, I had no idea about. I
just I was training.
Speaker 5 (14:22):
I was doing whatever I.
Speaker 11 (14:24):
Thought was right, and I was eating burgerging and eating
whatever I wanted to eat. I'm leading into these tournaments
because I had no idea.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
So in order for you to reclaim the heavyweight championship,
you've probably got to go up against Tyson, presumably who's
a good medias from what you know you're reading the papers. Technically,
that would be a pretty difficult fight because he's got
huge levers, he's long, he keeps his distance, whereas the
guy who beat him. His name escapes me Alexander. Yeah,
(14:55):
you'd probably be pretty keen on a go with him.
Speaker 11 (14:57):
I'd imagine I'll fight anyone. I swear honestly, I'm keen
to fight all of these guys at the top. I
want to fight you, Sick Joshua, I would say Joe Joyce,
but he has and looked good in recent times. I
like to fight Dillian White, but he's got a few
issues that he needs to sort out. I think the
best person to fight would be Usick because he's the
champion of the world. Big tising is very good. I've
(15:18):
traded Tyson it for a long time. He's got so
much for me and we're very close. But he's very furd,
got good leverage, and he's very got very good boxing.
Speaker 5 (15:26):
IQ.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
What abitt? What do you do when you're not boxing?
I can see him behind We've got the drum kit
in behind you. What what else do you do when
you're not boxing? And singing?
Speaker 11 (15:35):
When I'm not boxing, I'm training and I love to
play instruments.
Speaker 5 (15:40):
I love to go fishing.
Speaker 11 (15:41):
I spent a lot of time with my kids and
my wife, and but like I said, I've got George
Locket here done from America and he's been living here
since April and we've been training every day like we're
just we've just been building and when when the fighter
is locked and then when we fly down camp, we
are going to be This is going to be the
bist shop, but we're going to be in my whole life.
Speaker 2 (15:59):
Do you know this. I remember doing an interview with
you like five six years ago asking you a similar
question and your answer was quite different, Like you have
quite a different mindset now than what you were like
five six years ago, even when you won the world title.
Speaker 11 (16:13):
You've seen the Yeah, when I won the world title,
I was very young and very silly and didn't take
training all the fights that they're too seriously, like I
am now and now like I'm I think I'm content.
I'm a content fighter who is happy of life, happy
with my family, life, training life and outside life outside
of boxing, and I just feel like I'm going into
(16:35):
erfight like a happy man, but dangerous man.
Speaker 2 (16:38):
If you need someone to spar with, I'd like to
volunteer Mark as as sparring. Would that be possible, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
Bloody Big Ringing might be doing a lot of running.
Put it their way.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
You know.
Speaker 11 (16:48):
One thing about sparring though, when we do the sparring
phase in camp, it's very serious.
Speaker 5 (16:52):
Right.
Speaker 11 (16:53):
And one thing George has taught me George is the
nutritions also strength conditioning trainer, is that when before sparring,
he'll get me to give me to have a spoon
of honey. Right, And what does does is monuca honey.
What it does is that you got to sing behind
your folk with the oral for injury receptors. And what
(17:13):
that does is that when you have the honey, the
sweetness of the honey goes up to your brain and
tricks the body that that has got more glycogen and
more energy into what it has. And so do all
of these things are very like science based.
Speaker 6 (17:26):
Do you do that?
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Well?
Speaker 7 (17:28):
Do you do that before a fight?
Speaker 11 (17:30):
Before aspiring session, before a fight? Whatever you do inspiring
is exactly what we do for a fight. I carry
the cereal with me.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
If you guys want something, I can send you guys
some as well. You can exchange for the chips.
Speaker 7 (17:41):
Well, it's funny should say that some of these flavors.
I think the Killer Porn cocktail does have honey in them.
Speaker 5 (17:48):
So that'll be that'll be the best one.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
I think Mike Tyson had a slightly different approach. He
was doing other things, putting other things in his face.
Speaker 2 (17:55):
Before if there was a fighter in history that you
could fight, you know, who would it be. Who would
you love to have the chance to fight against.
Speaker 5 (18:04):
I would have loved to fight Make Tyson or Muhammad Ali.
Those guys go down.
Speaker 11 (18:08):
As the greatest fighters, you know, and you always want
to tiss yourself against the best in the world. And
Mike Tyson I didn't have a listen I had. I
had an experience with Mike Tyson back in Saudi Arabia.
He like I got he saw me and he was like, congratulations, champion,
your your fight with Deonce Evaluda, and we got along
real well. And as the night progressed, he started he
got angry at someone and then like next to me,
(18:30):
and then I sort of jumped in and said, Mike's
so good. He goes, I wasn't never done at you,
and I just sort of just and I just sort
of like I was like, WHOA. I don't know if
like Mike still has this sort of like timidy like timidating.
I sort of like just I just looked at him
and then I got like real like, I just went
back and watched the fight and I was like, this
(18:51):
is whoa.
Speaker 7 (18:54):
What do you make of you know, this this modern era,
this stuff with YouTubers Jake Paul, Mike Tyson fight. You
know what I mean, what do you think of that?
It's sort of disrespecting the game slightly, isn't.
Speaker 11 (19:07):
It not too They bring a lot of followers, and
they bring a lot of new eyes to the sport,
and they're also giving the sport a go and boxing
is very hard to do. But there are some like
fights that are happening around the world that you know,
like mismatches and fights that just does take away from
the actual sport itself.
Speaker 6 (19:27):
Yeah, I mean Mike Tyson for example, how old is he?
Speaker 7 (19:30):
But also you know, young people probably think Jake Paul
if he wins, as better than Mike Tyson kind of thing.
You know, it's it's it's annoying.
Speaker 11 (19:40):
Mismatch. That's definitely a mismatch. Mike Tyson was a great
fighter back in the day, but that was back in
the day. Mike Tyson is over fifty now and Jake Paul,
who is improving with each fight, So I think that's
a fight that's not really a lot of people will
still watch it though.
Speaker 2 (19:56):
Yeah, that's a bit like Sports Cafe was a great
show back in the day, but now it's sort of
a bit old and.
Speaker 7 (20:06):
Just respect. It's disrespecting podcasts.
Speaker 6 (20:10):
Trying to job, respecting you, Joe putting.
Speaker 2 (20:13):
You on this, making you come on, or I know
you better go up and do some training.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So I just I just want to know that you
talked about Ali and Tyson. Who's the greatest, who's the greatest,
the best ever.
Speaker 5 (20:27):
Who's the best ever? Everyone?
Speaker 11 (20:29):
Everyone will see my um and Ali. I love myke Tyson.
Even though we had that run, and we'll see each other.
I still love my Tyson.
Speaker 3 (20:37):
He's the sort of guy that if you got clipped
by Mike Tyson, it'll be like almost a bed if
you wake up, if you remember that.
Speaker 11 (20:44):
I feel like even now if he clipped you will
still be very, very.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
So I'll go and call him out, practice some of
your insults on him. If you can get two years
out of it.
Speaker 2 (20:59):
Yeah, all the best, mate, and hopefully you get a
new fight sort of pretty quickly, and we can't wait
to watch a fight again. Enjoy your training and don't
forget your honey.
Speaker 5 (21:10):
Thy very much.
Speaker 7 (21:12):
Chips are on the way, thank you, thanks mate, wreck.
Speaker 6 (21:17):
Wreck's whole career of the chips coming under.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Just going.
Speaker 3 (21:22):
How many people in the in the Olympics are on royds?
Speaker 4 (21:28):
I care?
Speaker 7 (21:29):
How many heteroids hemroids?
Speaker 2 (21:31):
Yeah, hemrhids a big problem.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
Sitting on those hard plastic boats. I mean, that's why
I asked the question.
Speaker 6 (21:36):
Rick Bet with the damp you get like a damp,
you know, that's what you say.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Like a chafed hemroid.
Speaker 2 (21:43):
Feel free to not answer any questions.
Speaker 3 (21:45):
Because obviously there's this The steroid Olympics are being promoted. Yeah,
and I'm all for it, you know, I mean, it's
a horrible, horrible thing.
Speaker 2 (21:53):
And that did you not hear me when I said
that when was seventy seven kg? Is like, you don't
need to be big powerful to be a Kayaki, you know,
inat having one hundred and twenty kg kayaker probably wouldn't work.
Speaker 3 (22:06):
It's a pound pound for pound ratio, like pound for
pound that be one of the strongest guys in the world.
Speaker 6 (22:13):
Just just sticks.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
But the power lifter.
Speaker 2 (22:16):
You must have just been walking around the village and
seeing these like just massive physical specimen.
Speaker 8 (22:22):
Yeah, we saw this Jamaican guy. I think he was
a thrower like discus or something. He was honestly gigantic,
like his biceps were probably four times a size in
that mine in the food hallway, and he had us
a whole traders piled with food.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
And being Jamaican too, you can't think you have big
ship and run off because he'll be quick.
Speaker 2 (22:40):
Because also, I don't know if you realize this, but
Finn was an Itaga University student as well.
Speaker 3 (22:48):
That's why it's the top two inches he was talking about.
Speaker 2 (22:50):
You know, yeah, so.
Speaker 7 (22:54):
I'll what's what's the plans?
Speaker 5 (22:56):
Now?
Speaker 7 (22:56):
You're back, but you're heading back overseas again?
Speaker 6 (22:58):
Seen you?
Speaker 8 (22:58):
Yeah, I go back on Thursday, back to France. So
I got two more races, two more World Cups to do.
So yeah, I was sort of I don't know, I
haven't done any training since yl, so is.
Speaker 7 (23:07):
It mentally to switch back on?
Speaker 8 (23:10):
It might be, yeah, but I'll just go and enjoy them.
Speaker 2 (23:12):
I think you're going to try the honey thing. You
should try the honey thing.
Speaker 8 (23:14):
Yeah, well, you know, we we do that, but just
with sports strength. I don't like honey so much. That
just a bit of sports strength.
Speaker 2 (23:22):
It's Actually, I think it's treason us to say you
don't like monooka honey in New Zealand. I think it's compulsory,
isn't it.
Speaker 3 (23:28):
It's very good for a lot of things. The Egyptians,
ancient Egyptians, they value it higher than gold.
Speaker 2 (23:34):
And what did they use it for?
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Gyptic qualities? Yeah, you know, bad burns, chafing.
Speaker 6 (23:42):
Honey.
Speaker 3 (23:44):
They Yeah, that's why it was rated so highly. And
it lasts forever to ye. So the America's buried it.
The America's Cup has started.
Speaker 2 (23:52):
Did you know that.
Speaker 6 (23:54):
It will not officially? Has it's this pre tournament?
Speaker 2 (23:57):
Well, it's the official Barcelona Yeah, I know. The question
wasn't do you know where it is? The question?
Speaker 7 (24:03):
Those an issue with it.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
Now.
Speaker 7 (24:05):
It's pretty exciting that own pretty fast, probably faster than ever,
But they're just sort of sitting there like Formula one.
They're not running across the net.
Speaker 3 (24:14):
I know that they are. They are, and the beauty
of that is imagine a Formula one driver trying to
get into the back seat if there was a back seat,
so one guy ran across the front door, straight under
the front of the boat to run across. Well, imagine
if you got hit by the wing.
Speaker 2 (24:29):
I'm really enjoying it because John kwan Son, Luca is
in the p in the Italian boat. He's one that
the cycle or he's cycling grinder, grinder grinder on the bike.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
They're always the best reats and the most fash beautiful boat.
Speaker 2 (24:42):
Yeah, isn't it. Yeah. So when you're watching, when you're
watching an America's Cup, look at Privor and you'll see the
number four. Then that's Luca Kolin.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
Yeah, it's good. Well now we've got you know another,
We're always got They're always a second team, aren't they.
We always like the Italiens.
Speaker 2 (24:55):
Yeah. And one of the difficulties so far on the show,
as you've been promoting your stuff, like you've come on here,
you push the first time I've done that, Yeah, but
you've done it nineteen times. Yeah, you can edit more
because I mean, if you look at some of your
old stories, it's a bit of a it's a bit
of a running. I mean, the All Blacks are playing
(25:15):
South Africa next week in South Africa, which we know
a bigger challenge that is. So I pulled out an
old All Black story from an old sports Cafe show
and well, yeah, you're promoting stuff on that as well.
Speaker 7 (25:25):
I learned from Mark. We're doing a sports story.
Speaker 6 (25:28):
It's all very well, just getting all the injuries and stuff.
Speaker 12 (25:30):
We're also going to get the action conaways, the team training,
that kind of thing.
Speaker 6 (25:34):
That's what we're doing now. So you just want to
pull up here, we just want to get some action shots.
Speaker 7 (25:39):
I'm just going to keep the cab running for about
twenty twenty five minutes.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
We're just going to get some cutaways and that kind
of thing.
Speaker 2 (25:43):
And oh I can't do it, got a go, mate,
that's it's sorry.
Speaker 7 (25:49):
Well we couldn't just get the bags then, are you?
Speaker 4 (25:52):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (26:06):
Oh I can't.
Speaker 5 (26:07):
Everyone's shot.
Speaker 2 (26:12):
Off.
Speaker 13 (26:12):
If do you think you've good enough for about if
you if you do get called on on the tests man.
Speaker 8 (26:17):
So obviously two four games will watch it and then
forty minutes against some ass.
Speaker 6 (26:22):
So you start a thing at rid of the rust
and the same time I think of chains are.
Speaker 2 (26:27):
A bit, how I stand a bit? Or I can
I hit something to other of it? And before it
wasn't too rusty. When I went back in teams, you think, sorry, oh.
Speaker 6 (26:45):
My god, there's big games of small games.
Speaker 7 (26:51):
But in your line of business, to be very rare
to see a small game in the environment professional environment,
because even the smaller games that you could argue that
our game the other day was a smaller game slotted
into the context before a big game between another big game,
and by the fold a big game, and this weekend's
got big them, this game is a big one, and
professional era.
Speaker 6 (27:07):
Is it such things a small game nowadays?
Speaker 7 (27:08):
Or they're all big games because even the small games
up big games by default, by the fact that they
just before a big game.
Speaker 6 (27:14):
So I mean, is there such things a small game nowadays?
Speaker 11 (27:18):
Uh?
Speaker 14 (27:18):
No?
Speaker 12 (27:18):
Okay, to the untrained eye, these simularly pointless chance of
your black stretching and.
Speaker 6 (27:25):
Warming up, I mean very little. But when you do.
Speaker 12 (27:29):
In a sports story, the action cutaway is vital if
your story is going off, for Christ's sake, god, oh
my god.
Speaker 3 (27:44):
The first twenty minutes well side, what's going to happen?
Speaker 6 (27:48):
Is that the most.
Speaker 2 (27:48):
Important places of the game.
Speaker 6 (27:49):
You can actually ask me, if you like, haven't you
got a new DVD at the moment?
Speaker 2 (27:52):
Have you got a new DVD?
Speaker 6 (27:54):
I'm glad you asked, yeah, and I do.
Speaker 7 (27:55):
Well, let's finally hear the Moon TVD DVD series five
or your favorite moments packed into one DVD available online.
We're at the warehouse by now.
Speaker 6 (28:03):
Tell them my INSENTI you can have that and I'm
sure run the fouils.
Speaker 2 (28:07):
And hopefully the DVD's as good as the caver itself.
Speaker 6 (28:10):
Is not your nat as well, that's just the case. Okay, okay,
do you want one of the DVD's. This is awkward.
Speaker 2 (28:16):
As I said, the DVD ship.
Speaker 6 (28:17):
The case itself is what we're asking.
Speaker 7 (28:19):
That's that's the real value. But I can put one
on if you wanted. All right, this is pepsi.
Speaker 6 (28:31):
When visit Australia, it's nice to come and hold a
koala there.
Speaker 7 (28:34):
That my soup pials.
Speaker 2 (28:35):
I think we easily changed. But at the end of
the day.
Speaker 6 (28:37):
It's great to pop them back into nature as quick
as you can. Oh that takes me back.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Not really, What was your mind set? How did you
how did you approach the TEXTI drive and say to
your mind just we lock it in your boot.
Speaker 7 (28:57):
I really don't know. I was using them a lot
of strange stuff at that time, as as you recall, yeah, yeah,
it was interesting.
Speaker 6 (29:07):
No, no, no, chlamydia doesn't seem to make any sense whatsoever.
Speaker 3 (29:12):
Yeah, that's yeah, must have visited Hamilton.
Speaker 2 (29:18):
Out no.
Speaker 3 (29:24):
Welcome down there. Yeah, I'm justsing it's a long time ago.
They've got penisil on now.
Speaker 7 (29:30):
Oh yeah, bit of a stupid question, but don't suppose
it's for the show to ask it. Do you ever,
you know, do Kayking who recreationally you know, like would
you go to sort of the States Colorado or something,
and you know, do those sort of trips you know,
like maybe Pakistan or you know, Whitewater.
Speaker 2 (29:48):
That's not recreational like a stuff.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Yeah that's terrifying. Yeah, I a little bit. Yeah, I
don't have heaps of time to do it and between
training and stuff, but when I go home, I do
get on the local ones. But you haven't done many
sort of traps overseas just for that. But it does fun,
like you get to go to some cool places that you,
you know, not many other people get to go to.
Speaker 3 (30:10):
But to use you're pretty much like a Surfing World champ.
But they've got the big wave surfers like the guys
and using the canoeing parlance, who go over the over
the big water, big drops.
Speaker 8 (30:22):
You do that first ship and that's terrifying to a degree.
Speaker 2 (30:27):
New Zealand kayaker Mike Dawson, he's like the king of
that sort of stuff.
Speaker 3 (30:32):
Really.
Speaker 2 (30:32):
Yeah, and he coaching for a while.
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Yeah, a couple of years ago he spent a season
or two with him.
Speaker 7 (30:37):
Speaking of white water stuff. You know remember that movie Deliverance,
that old movie Rick was in that. Yeah, it's a
great movie. Yeah, it's it's sort of a isn't it.
It's kind of the it's kind of quite at the end,
it's all kind of it's pretty depressing. Yeah, that sort
of thing you watch with the kids.
Speaker 2 (30:56):
But if you're into kayaking, it's a great movie.
Speaker 7 (30:58):
Well that's more rafting when.
Speaker 3 (31:00):
You know the movie Tied, Yeah, really quite funny showing
kids that we know like four and six bad dad moment. Well,
because it's an r A team, I think yeah, they
would they would have got but yeah, exactly. But and
this is the crux of the story. They didn't get
it. It all went over their head and they thought it
was really funny at talking teddy beer using bad words, right,
But then how old were they They were like four
(31:22):
and sex. But then they got to like ten and said, well,
we've already seen it. So we should be able to
watch it again. And then they did get it. You know,
I said, well, don't show your kids, Ted, you know,
not unless you're under seven.
Speaker 7 (31:38):
Yes, for an adult to take kids that young. They
both enjoy it on your levels.
Speaker 3 (31:43):
Yeah, well it's like, what was it the bungal and
oh Jeffrey and Zip zip Yeah, there was some double there.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
They are obviously legends and Rainbow yeah, Rainbow. Yeah, and
we've talked of some of the legends like Ali and
Byson except yeah, who do you think was the biggest
name that we've had on sports? Good? Oh?
Speaker 3 (32:09):
George bas was pretty awesome.
Speaker 2 (32:10):
Oh good one. We'll throw the hoeing Oh really on
the field? You think? All right, this week, I'm going
to do something special. Yeah. I used to.
Speaker 14 (32:17):
Yeah, I used to plan things and then normally get
away with it. I played one game once. I had
a bet with some friends of mine that I could
play ninety minutes without touching the ball with my right foot,
which is my natural food. And I played ninety minutes
without touching it and.
Speaker 6 (32:33):
Scored three goals.
Speaker 4 (32:34):
So it was.
Speaker 14 (32:37):
I realized that I was probably the best player in
the world.
Speaker 6 (32:48):
I mean, that was it.
Speaker 14 (32:49):
And the more they threatened me. The more I loved
it because it's taking the make it out and was
the ultimate. And these two boys know, if you're the
best at your job, it's lovely to go out and
you've got a thug play against you who thinks he
can do the business.
Speaker 3 (33:06):
If they're good enough, they can't do it.
Speaker 14 (33:08):
That was my main objective, to make fun of people
and make them look small.
Speaker 5 (33:12):
Yes, you do like in games.
Speaker 15 (33:14):
Now I sort of find that I tried to enjoy
myself and I do the odd silly thing now and
again because I've got confidence that you know years ago
that I used to practice the skills and you get
to the stage where you think, well, what the heck,
you just do it because you know that you're good
at it and throwing a long reverse passes.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
And doing drop goals.
Speaker 15 (33:31):
You know, everyone tells me that number eight is not
specific kick, but I'd say, well, you know, you just
do it because you want.
Speaker 2 (33:37):
To do it and you know you're good at it.
Speaker 3 (33:38):
So and you are good at it. Any, Yeah, I
love how has any just compared him so just to.
Speaker 7 (33:49):
Have a drop while he did in the World Cup
on it?
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Yeah, but it was I mean at his sports. And
he was a freak as well, you know.
Speaker 3 (33:55):
Probably not in the George Best mold of freaks.
Speaker 6 (33:57):
Well, we'll not.
Speaker 7 (33:58):
Comparing myself to George Best. But he played a whole
game just touching it with one foot. I plaid a
whole ninety minutes touch it with no foot feet, no feet,
neither foot.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Yeah soccer, yeah yeah, you goalie, no striker.
Speaker 2 (34:14):
He just never got the ball. Do you remember when
George Best came on?
Speaker 5 (34:18):
Yeah? I do, I do.
Speaker 2 (34:19):
He came, he came, He was doing a Do you
know who George beat was? He was a brilliant soccer
player through the sixties and seventies.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
He was like a rock star, like we'd be wearing
fur coat, mint coats and English can't do anymore North Irish.
Speaker 2 (34:36):
They called him the fifth Beatle. He's like a Beatle
and he was he married Miss World. He just he was. Yeah,
it would be the equivalent of George Best.
Speaker 5 (34:45):
Now.
Speaker 3 (34:45):
He tapped out pretty well.
Speaker 2 (34:47):
He went to America, didn't He started playing over there,
but in America then came back to the UK just
like was the most like, apart from just being really
good at what he did, he was so entertaining the
way he played well.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
Americana put a bit of a nudgetam, didn't he? I
mean he was certainly he had the off field, yes,
pretty much nailed.
Speaker 6 (35:06):
There's been in our since.
Speaker 3 (35:07):
This will be nobody else since who's sort of.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
We don't really have sports stars like him anymore because
they're a lot more disciplined, not more focused.
Speaker 3 (35:15):
There's nothing like a rock and roller. I've been saying
to my kid, you know, I've been trying to get
into drums since he was young, and he can play
the drums quite well, but not he doesn't want to
keep going with it. That if you do that, you
can go into a hotel and throw TV's out of
windows if you're get an absolute banging rock and roll.
And that's when he picked up his first drum stick.
Speaker 2 (35:32):
But there was the motivation.
Speaker 3 (35:33):
That was the motivation. Are these people they own the world?
A rock and roll start owns the world. You do
whatever you want whenever you can.
Speaker 2 (35:40):
We just examine your fathering style because you're watching showing
young children ted and then explains if you want to make.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
Some children somebody else's children.
Speaker 7 (35:52):
Not The TVs aren't even right for that anymore. I
mean big flat screens it's not the same.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
With the four legs that you needed two people to
lug it out of the window.
Speaker 2 (36:02):
There's no real skill and throwing a flat screen.
Speaker 6 (36:04):
Washing machine out of a window. And in Edinburgh were
in the band.
Speaker 2 (36:08):
Yeah, why was that?
Speaker 7 (36:10):
Yeah, we came back one night about four stories up
washing machine. Was the guy that was supposed to repair it.
He wouldn't repair it.
Speaker 6 (36:18):
So we had a few beers and said stuff and
so we threw it out the back window.
Speaker 2 (36:21):
Being vetched into pieces to be rock and roll.
Speaker 7 (36:24):
Yeah. Then the next morning these kind of well kind
of hit men arrived into the apartment at six in
the morning, seven in the morning and told us we've
got like forty five seconds to get out of the
get out of the place, and then you get your
stuff and get there out these big guys, big skinhead guys.
And as I was walking out, the guy goes, why'd
(36:45):
you do it? They were walking fused. Then then that's
just not normal.
Speaker 3 (36:53):
Hey, do I tell you I threw a photocopy out
the window at work onto the deck bloone only hit
Rob five and a leisure he was he was doing
a pilates class or something when he was with Rice
breaker not good.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
A few tips. Please do not throw anything out out
of a window. No electrical appliances.
Speaker 3 (37:12):
Oh well, why not. If you've got to do it,
film it. I'll go back to the office and shut
the window through the Photocopya. It was not one of
those small ones either. It was one of those commercial ones.
Speaker 6 (37:21):
But it jammed, had paper jams you through it?
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Yeah, roll it, roll it, Jack that up and over
the edge?
Speaker 2 (37:27):
Did you think of clearing the paper jam?
Speaker 5 (37:30):
My?
Speaker 3 (37:30):
Pay too hard. I know where and what I can
do certain things that.
Speaker 2 (37:35):
You know you can lift and throw a photocopyre.
Speaker 3 (37:38):
But time it had done it right.
Speaker 2 (37:40):
So there was the photocopy's fault.
Speaker 3 (37:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 7 (37:43):
I know someone at a Christmas party who was trying
to photocopy there ass and got one of their tests.
Speaker 6 (37:49):
Called them the rollers of the got a paper jam
technically making love.
Speaker 2 (37:55):
Can I ask how well you know this person?
Speaker 6 (37:57):
Like?
Speaker 2 (37:57):
Is it you? I know a person I had to
get the ubitsky.
Speaker 7 (38:03):
We'd come around to clear it.
Speaker 3 (38:07):
Give them some of that solvent to take the take
the take the off.
Speaker 2 (38:10):
Just throw it out the window attached.
Speaker 3 (38:13):
Yeah, better than pulling a tooth, right, I'm not sure.
Speaker 7 (38:17):
Late night call odd again.
Speaker 6 (38:18):
Okay again.
Speaker 2 (38:23):
Yeah, So let's let's talk about my t A B
bets this week. Well, I blame them on you before.
I don't eat those chaps because they're too noisy on
the microphone.
Speaker 7 (38:34):
Quick onnaway setting it up there.
Speaker 3 (38:36):
Sorry, it all got boring all of a sudden.
Speaker 2 (38:42):
Okay, okay, Right. So I put a lot of money
on the Warriors because it was Sean Johnson's farewell game.
I thought that they'd be up for that game. I
thought Sean would set up a couple of tries and.
Speaker 3 (38:55):
They were for the first half win they yeah, yeah, don't.
Speaker 7 (38:57):
Don't that's good.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
You know, for the last ten weeks, you've never ever
talked into your microphone and suddenly you got some potato
chips and you were right on, Mike, that's a gift.
So we lost a lot of money on the Warriors.
I also thought put some money on Auckland Rugby didn't
come through. But the good news is I put a
bit of money on Newcastle and Bournemouth to draw in
(39:25):
the Premier League and that's what happened, right, Yeah, I
think it was yeah, number two dog man, number two dog. Yeah,
Well you said number two dogs. Put it on the
note blue and white hoops. I just haven't found that
combination yet.
Speaker 3 (39:39):
Well, have you had a lock?
Speaker 2 (39:40):
No?
Speaker 3 (39:41):
Yeah, that's the point.
Speaker 2 (39:42):
Yeah, on the show, we have something uplifting, something positive
each week, and no one sends me anything. Did you
think of something?
Speaker 6 (39:54):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (39:55):
Did you send it to me?
Speaker 3 (39:57):
Well? I just sort of it now. I forgot it
was a regular theme, you know.
Speaker 2 (40:02):
Yes, And we've done ten shows, and we've done it
on nine of them, and this is the tenth anything
from you Lee that's uplifting the positive that's gonna send
it in later on?
Speaker 3 (40:11):
Okay, ye yeah, Well I'll tell.
Speaker 7 (40:15):
You I think this was pretty uplifting. You know the
snacker CHANKI yeh yeah, you flavors out now uplifting?
Speaker 2 (40:21):
Yeah, yeah, that's not what I was looking for. Here's something,
here's an example happened. This is this is the sort
of thing. That's something I found when.
Speaker 1 (40:27):
I look at the waves coming in and out on
the beach. But it reminds me of the great the
greatness of the bad things in life.
Speaker 7 (40:34):
Man.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
You need to inhale and exhale to breathe. It cannot
be in inhale. Man. You need the dark times. You
need the low tides. You need the things that build you.
It's only when the chips are down you get to
see who you really are. Man, if you're in a
low tide time in your life, remember that the high
tide is coming. The moon in the sun are coming
out shining, and they're gonna bring you up. Brother, keep on,
you just gotta be patient.
Speaker 6 (40:55):
It comes.
Speaker 2 (40:55):
Man.
Speaker 6 (40:56):
It can't stay bad forever.
Speaker 8 (40:57):
It can't stay good for ever. That's the beauty of
them both.
Speaker 1 (41:00):
Brut r nothing can stay forever, and that's what makes
it precious.
Speaker 6 (41:03):
I love y'all.
Speaker 7 (41:04):
Man, it's uplifting, But if you pull that camera out,
you'd realize he's got no pants on, and all of
a sudden, it's not quite as you know, powerful funnily enough.
Speaker 3 (41:12):
I mean, I was just I hadn't made it. University
had crabs seven times, and he would always threaten to
flick them in your underdrawer.
Speaker 2 (41:20):
You know, Yeah, this uplifting.
Speaker 3 (41:22):
Well, No, I was just going to say that guy's
bloody here. If he got crabs, he'd been trying to
get rid of them for years.
Speaker 2 (41:27):
He reminds me of sort of a cross between you
and and Sunny Bonot. That guy, no Sonny and cheer Yep,
yeah he did didn't Well, yeah, I mean but I
found that uplifting. Did you not find that uplifting?
Speaker 3 (41:41):
I couldn't stop steering at the fact that I was
thinking about.
Speaker 2 (41:48):
So there's another.
Speaker 3 (41:51):
Leave out that name, but just thinking of him flicking
as you know.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
So you you you listen to that beautiful uplift things.
Speaker 3 (41:59):
Stated didn't listen to. I just looked at the guy
and thought he's a prime candidate for crab flickering.
Speaker 7 (42:05):
Yeah, I such a big thing nowadays, is it.
Speaker 3 (42:08):
No, you don't hear about it. Mind you we're not
at university anymore. You're a bit younger.
Speaker 2 (42:13):
Crab saving.
Speaker 6 (42:16):
The manscaping is kind of true.
Speaker 3 (42:18):
I mean, Tom Selleck hard to get rid of, you know,
but you know somebody clean shaven, like a brad pit
grizzly Adams.
Speaker 5 (42:28):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (42:28):
Well so that was my uplifting thing that's gone off
on a awful tangent that hasn't gone away. I wanted.
Speaker 3 (42:38):
Yeah, I was going to be a Bud Spenser. Seriously,
I mean, you could hide anywhere. That's been impossible. It's
like somebody who got the crabs after the guy who
was saying about he put louded himself up and they
came back about two weeks later. Then he went to
the doctor. The doc said said, did you do your
(43:02):
ass crack? Because they hide up.
Speaker 1 (43:03):
There come scurrying back out.
Speaker 3 (43:06):
So he was back on the whatever the soap was for.
Speaker 6 (43:08):
Another company said one of those fly spray things on
the time off.
Speaker 3 (43:13):
Well, the seventh time he got it as old man said,
what are you urging for?
Speaker 4 (43:16):
Boy?
Speaker 3 (43:17):
Come here, and he had them on his arm. He said, yes,
you've got crabs, he said. He said to his wife,
bring bring the black flag, made him drop his pants
in front of the family and sprayed him with black flag.
You can't do that anymore. That's hr Yeah, yeah, so
good parenting.
Speaker 2 (43:33):
As I said, that's not quite the direction I was
hoping to from that piece of video. The one person
that did send us in some video is Lana Kokroft,
who that's nice. And this was also quite uplifting, you
know for me in.
Speaker 13 (43:46):
Particular, is it is it real or yeah?
Speaker 2 (43:58):
I'm not sure why she sent it to me?
Speaker 3 (43:59):
What what's it doing? And like it's like in a stadium,
it's an ice skating rens stadium. Yeah, but like.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
It's had a marine mate.
Speaker 3 (44:09):
Oh okay, fair enough. I thought it was like on
a basketball.
Speaker 2 (44:11):
So it's basically what would that be an elephant seal
or just just the seal?
Speaker 3 (44:17):
It might be a leopard baby leopard.
Speaker 2 (44:18):
Yeah, I think it's a leopard seal, just bouncing along
in its stomach.
Speaker 3 (44:21):
Lovely. It's a sound that it makes. Can we turn
that sound up again?
Speaker 8 (44:24):
They always move?
Speaker 2 (44:25):
Yeah?
Speaker 6 (44:25):
On land, I think, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3 (44:27):
That's a sound. You shut your eyes and listened to that? Yeah,
said something different.
Speaker 2 (44:36):
I don't know why did you see that?
Speaker 6 (44:38):
To me, it's a kind of do gone?
Speaker 7 (44:41):
Could she?
Speaker 3 (44:41):
She just amenities don't splash around upside very grace of underwater,
But you don't.
Speaker 2 (44:48):
You don't go out in the ocean and do any kayaking.
Speaker 3 (44:50):
Not often.
Speaker 2 (44:52):
Have you ever seen that? Have you ever seen it?
Speaker 4 (44:54):
Or not?
Speaker 2 (44:54):
You wouldn't se amenity down there, but amenatees and the
dou goone, so it just seals seals. Have you seen
a few seals out in the needing sharks?
Speaker 8 (45:03):
No sharks, I haven't seen any sharks. Those cooled dolphins
were the small Yeah, but no no sharks.
Speaker 2 (45:13):
Hell, how much technology is and kakes all the kayaks
the same, your pedals are the same or are you
looking for an edge and technology a little bit?
Speaker 8 (45:22):
They're pretty they're all pretty similar. In the kayak cross
they're all blue, which they look similar, but there's about
three or four different companies that make them and they
just plastic, pretty pretty low tick.
Speaker 3 (45:33):
Can you make out of any any product?
Speaker 8 (45:35):
Or yea, they have to be plastic. They have to
be mash produced as well. I should be able to
eye eighteen heroos, So you.
Speaker 2 (45:43):
Can't sort of go and work with some scientists and go,
let's let's.
Speaker 8 (45:47):
Keep and the slalom it up. Yeah, so the slalom
you can basically do it either. They have to be
nine kilos and three and a half meters long.
Speaker 2 (45:54):
But apart from that, you're free because you started out
doing salom, didn't you.
Speaker 7 (45:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (45:58):
Yeah, so I do basically like sort of started off,
don't well, kind of all kayaking and then yeah, mostly
slalom for training and racing stuff and then both.
Speaker 2 (46:06):
When started making ka cross in the Olympic sport, did
you really sort of get excited because you're like, I'm
really good at that competer to the start?
Speaker 8 (46:12):
Yeah, yeah, I think so. It makes from down south,
I reckon. It was just like we did it all
the time, just on like natural rivers.
Speaker 2 (46:19):
So you've been training for it your whole life sort
of yeah, like not exactly that, but yeah, because each
other aggressive nature of Southern races, like no rules as that.
Speaker 8 (46:30):
Something in that I reckon. Yeah, something key about it
curling as well, I'd imagine I used to debble. Yeah,
it's so fun.
Speaker 3 (46:38):
It's a lot of fun with curling, isn't it. Curling.
Speaker 2 (46:40):
Yeah, we were.
Speaker 3 (46:42):
A little tram and you get all dressed up for it.
Speaker 8 (46:45):
Yeah, Alexandra Ice Rind.
Speaker 2 (46:49):
We entered the Nationals.
Speaker 3 (46:51):
We won. We beat the New Zealand champions in one end.
This was me and Ben the human cannibal. We beat
them at one end and we said, ship mate, this
could be our sport. So we entered the Nationals, went
down there and got pants by one guy with one
league and one arm type thing.
Speaker 2 (47:08):
That's horrible.
Speaker 3 (47:09):
Yeah, we thought we had a chance because it was
just a fluky end.
Speaker 2 (47:13):
Right and all that.
Speaker 3 (47:16):
Oh yeah, a great sport. No, not much point, you
chuck it.
Speaker 8 (47:21):
My favorite one at the Winter Olympics are Yeah, curling
so good.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
Oh yeah, it's a passionate sports. It's a lot of
screaming and yelling.
Speaker 3 (47:27):
And it's a great drinking game, isn't it. You know, yeah,
as opposed to the Olympic, you know where you can't
really you.
Speaker 8 (47:36):
Know, you can't indulge in too many beers before it's.
Speaker 3 (47:39):
You know, there's not many Olympic sports. Is an Olympic
sport Winter Olympic. Not many Olympic sports where you can
actually have a little dram while you're doing it.
Speaker 2 (47:47):
I don't think at the Olympics they drink during the
during the gil.
Speaker 3 (47:50):
I don't think you want to be posed. It's not
a performance enhancing.
Speaker 7 (47:53):
You look a bit of an idiot. If you showed
up to the Summer Olympics before you're curling, you in that,
you got the season wrung a whole year, just sit
in the village of everyone else really hot.
Speaker 2 (48:05):
And then the other sport I wanted to bring up
was tree climbing. We once had a professional tree climber
on sports Cafe. I think we had a couple. Here's
one of them.
Speaker 3 (48:17):
Yeah, what's what's the most difficult tree to climb? Do
you think?
Speaker 5 (48:22):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (48:23):
Yeah, right?
Speaker 3 (48:23):
Mature mature hungers are difficult though, because if you go.
Then they've got those fairy bristles and it can quite
often get stuck in.
Speaker 8 (48:29):
Your throat larynx.
Speaker 5 (48:31):
Yeah, I have.
Speaker 3 (48:32):
I've gone up a few pungers.
Speaker 8 (48:33):
What are you doing going upper?
Speaker 4 (48:34):
Pan?
Speaker 8 (48:34):
That's a scar from a punker.
Speaker 15 (48:35):
How are you doing going upper?
Speaker 3 (48:36):
Admittedly I was a little where you try and get
to the top of them.
Speaker 7 (48:42):
The punger.
Speaker 3 (48:44):
Looks rewarding, but you've got to sort of come out
and climb underneath the mushroom to get on top of it,
which is easy.
Speaker 2 (48:50):
Said. Tree climbing is one of your special skills, isn't
It used to be not so much now, did you.
Speaker 3 (48:58):
I was at a party with the human cannibal and
there was a why does he keep on coming up?
There was a cabbage tree about five meters off the deck,
and we said, the human cannibal surely can fly and
take that tree out, because the old man, the dad
who owed the house, said, I hate that bloody tree
at blocked my view. So he just ripped off his
(49:19):
shirt and gave it the old unleasure me and we
cleared a room and he just tore at this thing
and dove and all you saw was his hand as
it went past, and he missed the tree completely and
just disappeared through the foliage and we just heard warm
and we didn't hear or anything, and it must the
(49:39):
drop would have been eight meters and he's landed, landed
flat like a pancake on the neighbour's driveway and just
hadn't moved. He got he got up, he walked off,
he walked away from it all.
Speaker 2 (49:53):
And well, thanks for joining us on sports Cafe and
getting an education into Mark's past.
Speaker 3 (49:58):
No, mate, these guys deal with a lot more risk
than we do and never ever done.
Speaker 2 (50:02):
Yeah, is there any risk in the actual art like that?
Looks the big quite a scary thing, Yeah, a little bit.
Speaker 5 (50:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (50:11):
Well, sometimes the ramp doesn't drop properly, so it can
go halfway and then all of a sudden you sort
of get kept over there, do you even know?
Speaker 2 (50:20):
Yeah? Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 8 (50:21):
And one of the races this year in Prague, the
World Cups, that one of the girls that mucked it
up and you're sort of supposed to land a bit
flat so you skip out, you know, And she went
over the handlebars and went straight down and the water
is only sort of, i don't know, a meter deep
maybe and just bom straight and.
Speaker 2 (50:37):
Like smoked ankles.
Speaker 8 (50:39):
Yeah, because it's like landing on concrete from a couple
of meters.
Speaker 3 (50:42):
I mean, he's got to be something that's a clerical error. Yeah,
some recompense if you get your legs broken because the yeah,
you're just sorry, hard luck.
Speaker 8 (50:52):
It's yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:54):
So where's your next event?
Speaker 8 (50:56):
Uh in Avraya, which is like an hour west of Milan,
And so yeah, and then we go to Spain.
Speaker 7 (51:03):
Do you feel any pressure now because it's gonna gow
Olympic go meddle winner now, you know, do you are
you feeling that kind of pressure at the World's at
the Championship?
Speaker 8 (51:12):
Not yet, but there might be a bit of a
target on my back, I suppose. But yeah, I mean
we all know each other pretty well, so yeah, I'll
be keen to keen top.
Speaker 2 (51:22):
But does it give you confidence going into the next
two like the Olympic champion, I can beat anyone, But.
Speaker 8 (51:26):
Of that, yeah, I mean, like it's kind of one
of those things, right, you know you can do it,
you know you can win you know, every race you
go to, but until it actually happens, you know, it's
kind of just.
Speaker 3 (51:37):
That was this question earlier. Is it a sense of
relief or was it just exhilaration. You see a complete exhilaration.
Now you've got the cross on your back, it'll probably
be relief.
Speaker 8 (51:47):
Yeah, but it's also I mean, anything can happen in
that bloody thing. That's it's pretty hiccked. Actually know, someone
can just take you out if you're not in front
and in your day early, so who knows. I mean,
it's just it's pretty fun wrappings.
Speaker 3 (52:04):
Congratulations, right, appreciate.
Speaker 2 (52:07):
You said anything could happen, and what happened was your
greatest day ever and results possible and you lift it up.
We were so excited for you, so thank you so
much for joining us, and hopefully you know the psychological
work you'll need to do after this show. We'll sort
of get you back to.
Speaker 3 (52:25):
If you died tomorrow, you know, would you get buried
with it or would you leave it to your kids?
Speaker 8 (52:30):
I reckon I'd leave it to my kids. Let them
check it out. Yeah, often wonder don't have kids yet.
Speaker 2 (52:35):
But okay, leave it when you do get kids, perhaps
wait till they're sort of in the late teens before
you show them tips.
Speaker 8 (52:42):
Yeah, I've got a few few things noted from you.
Speaker 3 (52:45):
You've been writing them over the head.
Speaker 7 (52:49):
But I remember about my uncle's funeral crematorium. At the crematorium,
he was he was a Kiwi, you know, he was
for the service. He had his Kiwi jacket on, you know, believe, and.
Speaker 2 (53:07):
He was I'm explaining it to the listeners.
Speaker 3 (53:12):
He was like all of us, you know, and.
Speaker 7 (53:18):
And but obviously they don't want to get cremated with
the Kiwi jersey on. You know, it's a really awkward scene.
I remember my father talking to the guy running the
funeral home, going, look, would mind getting that jacket off?
And at the moment, just like he was trying to
the guys going what you can't do that said well, no,
he's not supposed to have it on at this point.
(53:39):
You know, that was only for the thing, and it
was actually quite awkward. And I think he does what
do you want to shoes as well?
Speaker 3 (53:46):
Yeah, I mean he wasn't a full mind. He didn't
know why what he was wearing.
Speaker 7 (53:50):
Now, yeah, you know, I think we've got to make Yeah,
it's good to cut it off.
Speaker 2 (53:57):
It's just it's just end it now.
Speaker 7 (54:04):
Get it out and get it up.
Speaker 3 (54:06):
Picking see half asleep those.
Speaker 2 (54:10):
Titles, Please, can we can we can we stop before
we get into more trouble?
Speaker 4 (54:20):
