co three with the height with weight, well, no, no weight.
He's trying to What he's trying to do is lengthen.
So he's saying, if I'm from one hundred and forty.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
It's spread over a bitter platform expect That's why.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You guys are never that good at maths. Because he's
rounding up.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
What's that noise? Leap, what's coming? Noise that's going on?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Just re charging some sex toys in the.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Diesel powered bed, haven't you got?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah? Yeah, I have power cuts. I need to go
back to back to diesel.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Do you use jack hammer as a sex toy?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Bony chance?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Do you say things that I find a gross?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, we're just.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
The fumes open.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Anyway? Back to.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You don't want something to get carbon monoxide poison?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
All right, Okay, I'm going to try and bring this
back somehow. Let's start again, because we're not going to
edit this. I've decided we're not going to edit this show.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
That's the noise anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Okay, So MAKA, you gave the Nipples no chance of winning,
and they've just and then they went on to win
the next two and they just won the series.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well you know what I mean, something you get wrong.
I gave the black Caps no chance of winning the
second tier. Thing.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Sometimes when you put that out there, it gives them
a motivation.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, you know, what's been really good?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
As they took you about, it could be said. I
mean it's the same theory that we're like reverse psychology,
which was you know, if you offer abuse, sometimes it's
sort of hocks in and it's under.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
The I think that in the modern times you've.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Just basically turned from glutton absolutely glutton heathen.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I actually think in the modern times that shaming and
abusing people to try and get change it is no
longer fashionable.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Work for you. I mean, we've kept you in check
within reason.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Thank you. Now. I thought that, I, you know, would
be a little bit more insightful in the bedding with
the tab this week, you know, because I was so
supported of the black the silver ferns, but I couldn't
put a bed on them because by the time we
did this, by the time we had played the show,
they already played the game. So I put a lot
(03:36):
of money on the Kiwis the Kiwis to win the
against Australia, which they didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I heard that that was that that was on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, yeah, it's a good game.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yes, they played well, how do we go?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
We played well, but we lost close. They scored the
try at the end. And then I put a lot
of money on the Yankees to beat the Dodgers. They lost,
but I did win some money back for.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Us, say a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, it's a lot of money for me.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I put some money on Jonah knocked on Buller to
score for Japan against the All Blacks, and he did,
so we won something.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, that's good. That would have been good odds to you.
Nothing on it.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
They Yeah, put team bucks twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Okay, so we're ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's all spread all that out later.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Because he was paying about eight bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
No, he was paying about three bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
He's a winger, yeah, but he's a Japanese winger against.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
The You know, times have changed since you played Japan mate.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So fifty to fifty ten, wasn't it Japanese.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
There's a lot of other cultures playing rugby and.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
They not have a sort of a cap of how
many they can have from.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But these are people that have spent a lot of
time in Japan.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You know, it's a good question. In the World Cup,
are they allowed to have a similar lineup?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, as long as you do the international qualifications.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I mean if you went to Year for example, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it doesn't And Chef a little bit worried.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
No, Japanese people working and there I wouldn't have a
problem with that. I'm just finding how authentic the food
might be.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, it make a beautiful kaknda, but make it a sushi.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Well, well you're going to carry on with us, aren't
you know?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's just kept things come up every week.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Sydney in the football.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
And we had an Asian Japanese Japanese kept me playing
for for Auckland like it's the world mate, it's.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You know, it's yeah, that's a provincial team, isn't It's
not a national representative side anyway.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
There we got that out.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you remember when Mark got drunk on the show?
Not this not last week that like really drunk on
the other shows?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
No, I don't remember, damn it.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah a couple of times. Because what I what I
found is what happened the show after just.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Got over this right, like the years of past, nobody
knows about it. You know, there's a whole generation of
people who you know, old that people have forgotten about said,
you know, over exertion at a particular business lunch and
the net result of which was pretty poor behavior the
whole by today's standards.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well by the end by those standards also.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And the thing is it was on national TV like that.
That was you know that they had some sort of
modicum of decency.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Required which ignored and well we got it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Was not with you the next day and saying how
bad was it?
Speaker 7 (06:36):
We told everyone that you were acting and everyone was
just like, Jesus is such a good actor, and they
just believed it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's perfect.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Now do you remember what I don't realized, Coret. Do
you remember what your punishment was?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Look ever, look at this is this is your punishment.
We had some very important lessons over the last week
and when a sporting role model goes Australia, there can
be only one one punishment and I feel a public flogging,
So mistress please, it's.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
All fun of games, guys, but as long as one
person gets hit. We've seen you in a tight place before.
But I can't believe he's still got pens.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Pence.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Let's take a look at what he got up to
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Did you did you say good? Someone removers Pence?
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Well, public flogging should be a proper flogging and he
probably deserved to have.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And ironically, I'm sitting here going I can't.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Believe we did that. I'm amazed that did you get
the stocks? We just happen to some We didn't roll
into another the ground the next week. I can't enjoy that.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's amazing that we don't remember anything that we did,
and we did it for like twelve years.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I just think it's part of the human ability to
just remove. Yeah yeah, just completely. You know, it's like
century over it. You just removed from you.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
There was something else that there was something else that
you mentioned last week which you did remember interviewing elmwc Pherson. Yeah, yeah,
well I managed to find it. There we go.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Well on behalf of tav Sports Cafe. Welcome to New
Zealand and very very kind of you to come all
this way for an interview.
Speaker 8 (08:43):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I come bearing gifts being a good key wei bloke.
I've went out diving yesterday and managed to track down
a couple of.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Little mollusks for it.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
So look at that.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Indeed, indeed, Ken dive yourself, I understand.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Look at that. There's a fabulous If I have this finance.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
You may indeed, do you have to watch what you
eat to an extent?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
No?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Now what about. This is a question I need an
answer to.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What about Hugh Hefner, If you managed to get invited
to one of those parties with you?
Speaker 9 (09:12):
I have, Actually I was, I was invited.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I think we're actually touching Christmas party.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Oh no, I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I didn't.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Well, if I'd known me, you would have wanted to go.
I would have sent the invitation right over to you. Well,
like the ears and the hotel, you can go about
insistood off.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
They wanted to get my hands.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
That's not good.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Your legs.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Now tell me you use a few of the Australian models,
don't you that? The blikes absolutely sporting environment?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You ever kind of played using a few sportsmen from
New Zealand to model your gear? Well?
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Do you know what I'm thinking about my whole new campaign?
And I think I'd like to have a very sports
oriented campaign for men's work, particularly because we're going to
have to do my research. It's as to who she
is and the ideas.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well, I do actually, funnily enough, who Well, it's a
human that's over.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
He's a legend in these parts, really big ginger man,
ginger headed bloke. Yes, an Adonis type of figure, standing
looking black. He holds a record for human projectiling sixty
four buses. Really and it happens to.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
But what if something happened to him and he was
like the lead of my campaign and then the next
thing he was stopped short of a bus or something.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Well, you've got to live on the edge, now you
that's true.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Got to take a risk.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You've got to comfortable large probably large.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Say, he's definitely got that look like.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
My rather excited for the way that went. And I've
offered to eat the gray fish will and asked. She's
accepted that.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
You can turn it off and push off. I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I think it's for you.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I know, why why would you take ral McPherson just in.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Case poorly and you know you need to diffuse it
with humor. He was obviously excited as always he was.
I don't remember that going quite as well as it did.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Do you think that went well?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I thought there was definitely some chemistry.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
She was definitely one to boot people out if she
wasn't having a good time.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
He was a little touch. I didn't remember that.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
That's you remember it now?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, I'll take that to my grave.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, now on the show, going back to try and
remember what we did. One who do you think was
our guest that was on probably the most gimp?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, the human cannibal, the gimp. I'm not ade a
career of.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It, not counting, not counting the people that worked for
uses sports, people that were a guest. Ah, you don't
think you wouldn't think it's the guy on screen that
we're looking at. Oh, there you go, Chris Gans.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, he would have been on a fair few times.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You're on a lot, Chris Well.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Bloody good if you get invited back that many times?
Banksmaker running a nice little Kenny Rogers here.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
It's been a long time since I have seen you,
probably a couple of decades.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Correct, it's been a long time, and it has I've
been watching you guys coming back, and I'm sure I
speak for a lot of New Zealanders that were all
glad you're doing it. So you guys are an institution
during that time, and it's wonderful to see you all
back together.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like I said earlier, in many ways, we still institution.
In many ways, it's a.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Different time of institutionalized.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Of all the people, of all the people that came
on the show, your life's changed the most. You know,
what's what's the latest with your help? You know, you
went through such an incredible, horrific tough time.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Have we got this is a two hour show, right, yeah? Look,
you know I'm a big advocate Ricardo for you know,
life it is what it is, and for me, I
am I'm lucky to be here.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Really I should be dead.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
What what I went through a few years ago with
the auto section, I was over lucky to survive that.
And then it's just sort of keeping it brief. What
happened after that was was getting through that, suffering a
spinal stroke which sort of put me in a wheelchair,
and then I threw in a little bit of boll
(13:57):
cancer and then sort of managing to rehab get back
into to life via via the world chair, but with
other things that now sort of helped me to be
a bit more mobile. And then I sort of threw
in a heart attack mid mid year this year. So
someone's trying very hard to end it for me. For
(14:21):
some reason, I'm sort of still here, So I'm extreme.
Look I view myself, it's been extremely lucky mate. At
the end of the day, I've got five beautiful kids.
My focus is on that, watching them grow, watch them evolve,
and so that's that's where my life is now.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Following on social media and watching you go from that
wheelchair to to thinking about rehabbing and then suddenly to
see you up and about, you know, walking with the
help of sort of like a brace and and some crutches.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Walking to a barno. Yes, that was that was pretty inspiration.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Was going to say, how much do you think, you know,
being an ex athlete, competitive person as that contributed to you.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You know, kind of achieve that.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Yeah, it gives you a good grounding, you know. I
mean what it does is that I think because you
know how shit rehab is and how hard it is
and what it takes to get out of bed every
day and to go and do it, then you know,
I think you get a head start on perhaps, you know,
people that are going through because there's a heap of
people that go through this situation with strokes have to rebuild.
(15:29):
And it's not only something that affects the person, but
it's with your family, whether it's your daughter, your wife,
your partner, your grandkids. It's something that the whole family
goes through. And I think because of the background and sport,
it does mean that you've had the ability to understand
the rehab side of it. But the gains lead is
(15:50):
so small, you know, like when you have a stroke
and you're trying to come back and because of the
atrophy and the legs and the damage that's been done
to the neural pathway, it's a tough grind and you know,
you really see small incremental movements and what you're doing.
But again, you know, it's coming back to that focus
on how you endure and not what you're enduring.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You what the spiritual aspect of it. Yeah, it's an
impossible question to fully understand from my perspective because obviously
you're in a very unique position. But the spiritual side
of one's well being. You wake up in the morning
(16:32):
and some people are fortunate to wake up those mornings
with a smile on their face, and others don't. They
have to work on it. Glasses half yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you find that as a net result of the
physical atrophy if you will, which happens to everyone in life.
By the time you're nineteen, your body's not doing what
you thought you would have. You found that getting into
the spiritual side, your actual natural ambulance and joy and
(16:58):
life has been something that has helped or have you
had to hone in on that and focus on that
aspect of life.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
First, you can, I say, fuck me, imagine twenty years
ago if you and I said we'd be sitting here
discussing this is a question.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It's impossible to conceive. But then in saying that, if
we said it in fifty years time, we would be
because body gives up on them, you know. So how
much is at body and how much is it spiritual?
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Yeah, but Macca, that's a great question, it really is.
And I think a lot it comes down that, I
think as we evolve as humans, and you know, we
all have a wonderful time in our teens and our
twenties and our thirties, and we mature and then you
get to a situation where I think you just want
a little more and you want to find out a
little more. And I think if you're open to that,
(17:44):
some people don't want to. And again I'm a big
believer in that everybody to their own, each to their own,
But I think on that spiritual side of what you're
saying is I think a growth element to understanding how
things work, and that for me made is where I'm
at now. So you know, I want to try and
keep myself healthy both of mind and body as much
(18:06):
as I can, because I have no idea where medical
advancements are going over the next five, ten, fifteen, twenty years.
I'm not a religious man, but I do consider myself
somebody that is spiritual with regards to understanding a bit
more about energy, because I think that that's something that
he rolls around all of us, and so whether you're
(18:28):
putting that element out into the universe and what you're
getting back is a big part of it as well.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I think you mean, I would say that looking at
your life, shit, you've lived seventy years worth of fun
in the time that you had, and from a positive
half glass falls perspective, you've lived with the hammer down
so that the physical aspect has just come slightly sooner.
But if you looked at it a year by year basis,
(18:54):
you've cranked.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
It all in.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
And you sort of say that sort of times a
bit more to someone like Shane Warren for example, who
passed away a year or two years ago. I mean
he crammed aout one hundred and fifty years and his
sort of fifty years of life.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You know, for kids as well. The kids would be
the thing that you'd focus on now, like that keeps
every room.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
And I think, you know, if we think back to
those sports cafe days, I'm not sure if any of
us had kids or around about that time. And so,
you know, we are in a different stage of life.
And I think the people that we talked to twenty
odd years ago on the show or twenty five years
ago on the show have now been through journeys with
kids or death or serious illness or injury in their lives,
and so again the conversations are different. I think around
(19:39):
you know who we are and what we do. But
you know, I just keep coming back to the fact
that I'm thankful to be here because you know, really, guys,
I shouldn't be some real.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Let's have a look at when you were on the
show one hundred and twenty years ago.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
And I think in Daniel Tory, Craig McMillan and Matthew
Bell that we've got three young guys coming through have
a lot of passion and played with a lot of
pride for his zeland as well. So you know they
do great job.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
How he is your bat?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
What did you wanted.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Right there?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Right there?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Did you have it like a feeling heavy one?
Speaker 11 (20:24):
It's not the old man mate, he was. He was
three three pounds plus. You know like that, we'll leave
the way down.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
You have a contemplate knocking the shoulders.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Off it, No, never know that was his thing and
he enjoyed doing that.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
And so I suppose in the cricketing fraternity he was circumcised.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I suppose everyone scrolled back in.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
The in the heyday of your old man, Everyone, even
the opening batsman, came out with the shoulders.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
It was I've got one at home that I've said
that I won't let him get his hands on. And
because I think it's as much of his bat and
his players as a huge part.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Of mijohn cricket, and you take it down to the
nets and just go for the big one.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Secretly, I do.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think that the point I was trying to make
earlier is the elder you get, the more shit happens, right,
whether you like it or not. That's just the way
the world unfolds it. So I've always had an amazing
admiration for the eighty year old man or woman who
you see walking down the street with a bit of
a spring of the step, who when you say good
morning at morning, you know they're chipper and their upbeat
because they haven't woken up like that. They've decided when
(21:36):
they got out of bed. Fuck it. I'm putting a
smile on my face and I'm attacking today with the
right attitude.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But also too, people don't always know what your story is.
You know, they might see an eighty year old and
go look at the silly old man not realizing that
he had fought in the war and you know, saved
our country or whatever. I mean, everyone's got their own story.
So I mean sounds to me, Kenzy, that you've got
(22:01):
a really good understanding and appreciation of life. Now.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Yeah, well the thing is, Ricardo, I think it's it's
it's different because of the situation you find yourself in.
And but Mac is right, it's a choice. Right when
you get out of bed. I can choose to be grumpy,
I can choose to be happy, I can choose to
be sad. Choice is the gift that is so underrated.
I think within the human race, you know, we we
we can decide our response to everything. And when you
(22:27):
come into a situation I think, which is just magnified
by what I find myself in now, then it's even
more important, I think, to focus on that choice because
you know, that's what that's what defines the day. And
again I think over the last particularly sort of fifteen
years for me, again not judging people at face value,
(22:51):
because as you've quite rightly said that, you know, that
older person that you saw that was in the war,
or that person that's just rushed out in front of
you at an intersection and nearly caused an accident, is
off to the hospital because their child has just been
struck by a car.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So you know, it's it's sort of not.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Falling into the trap of actually seen something or passing
judgment on it. With that first instance, I think that's
something that you grow into and I think it's something
that is quite valuable.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Yeah, happiness is a breed of happiness with all of
these things that have gone on. Obviously you've had a
bit of warfare. After warfare, are you able to work
at the.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Moment, are you No, I've had a startup in sport
tech for about the last or six years, where I'm
fortunate now that it doesn't require me to sort of
have a physical element to what I do if I
was involved as a builder or a tradesman or anything
like that. So the space that I've been in for
the last or of several years has been around the
integration of tech into sport And I was discussing this
(23:48):
earlier with Ricardo and there's a couple of things coming
online now, which is the space that I'm in. There
was a UFC Fight Night in Vegas about six weeks
ago or seven weeks ago where Dana White took UFC
to the Sphere in Las Vegas, So it was an
integration of technolology with computer generator graphics and having the
(24:10):
live event there. So again not to bore the crap
out of you guys or anybody else, but that's the
sort of space that I'm that I've been in for
the last six years. And we've had some interest up
in Saudi. We've got a couple of contracts up there
that we're doing. So I'm very fortunate that the space
I'm in allows me to can sort of continue on
with you know, with how I find myself physically.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
What about what about on the weekend? What about New
Zealand beating India in a series in cricket? I mean
that is that's one of New Zealand's sports greatest moments
without a doubt.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Yeah, it's kind of like Ozzie's betting us at Eden
Park in any capacity work from a rugby perspective, right,
but beating India. I think we've got a bit of
a chat group. So the ninety nine side for cricket
that won in England in the Tests thereies where we
won our first ever Test match at Lord's. We've got
a reunion at the Basin in about six weeks time actually,
(25:02):
and we've had a chat group for a few months
and we were discussing this very this very aspect about
where does it, where does it sit within sort of
the the New Zealand cricket landscape. I think, you know,
when you look at the international sort of tournaments, the
Test when we had the ICC, when we had back
in two thousand, but the hardest place is to win
(25:23):
Australia first we believed, and then and then India. So
so the class of twenty four. That's just sort of
won that Test series in India for the first time
ever for New Zealand as a remarkable feat, you know,
given the fact that they were not actually given any
hope and hell and the spinners.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
The spinners are stepping up when they in the last
yet and I've got a few years so in their.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Own game pretty much.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Yeah, it is, mate, But I mean it's the pressure
that the batters put on, right because the hard thing
going over there, I think bowling wise, you can do,
you know, the conditions of pavorable. The thing where we've
always struggled previously is in the batting side and putting
the runs on the board. So for Russian Ravendra to
do what he did, But remember all of this was
done without Williamson as well, so that adds even more kudos,
(26:10):
I think to the victory because you know they're the
best player and arguably in New Zealand's greatest player. I
was not not even in the side. So so Ravendra,
who I think is going to be a very very
special player, got runs in the first Test. Tom Latham
fronted up into the second Test, so so Lee it
was Yes, it's the wickets and that's really important. But
(26:31):
it's it's getting that run that allows the bowlers.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
To do what they've got to do.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
So so it was a it was a wonderful performance.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I think the whole of New Zealand would want to
know what's a great day for Chris Keans right now?
Speaker 8 (26:44):
For me, Mate, it's it's getting out of bed, going
to the gym, working out physically, talking to my kids,
doing my work and cooking. I've bizarrely, now that I'm
in a whorl chair, I've actually got into into cooking
more than when I was able body and and mate,
(27:06):
really just doing that for me. If I tack those
elements off in the day, I'm a happy man maker.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
All right mate.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
And also sorry Ma, yeah, sorry, no you go Ricardo.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
No, I was just going to say thank you so
much for your time. Like it's obviously this is quite
a different interview than we've ever had you before on
the show, and you're inspiring.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I mean mate, I said to you that, you know,
I was sitting around having a knee replacement sort of
you know, struggling what I thought was struggling, and then
I was watching you sort of getting up and getting
in the gym with your crutches and stuff, and I
was like, oh my god, what the hell am I
moaning about? Like, so just be aware, not only asked,
but you're inspiring a lot of people with what you're doing.
(27:48):
And I know that. I know it's tough. I know
every day is a challenge, but yeah, thank you for
that inspiration, and thank you for coming back. It's been
great to catch up.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Yeah, yeah, no, thanks mane. And look, I hope it's
not been too fucking more. But well, I know it's life, no,
I know, but I'm also conscious of that, right, and
the fact that I know that I know the audience
and you guys, and and you know, you brought so
much fun into you know, everybody's lives and and look,
this is a different part of life and and whatnot.
(28:22):
But thanks for giving the opportunity to come on. And
it's been great to rekindle what we did twenty five
years ago in a different space.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
And he stopped saying twenty five years ago. Yeah, yeah,
that's the only criticism I've got.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
You know, you're looking well, mate, You've got to smile
on your face. It's not a little Kenny Rodgers, you know.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Thanks, Thanks Marcatt, thank you. I really appreciate you guys
having me on it, and best of luck with the
show and it's it's been great.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Pretty inspiration away.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
The last time I actually saw him.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I was sure to mention it in park Actually, him
and Dionne were trying to teach how me bowling him
and Manx Brady they would teach them that they're in
the nets.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, yeah, and you know which was amazing for me,
you know, yeah, and I'm going to send me pay
attention to this. Yeah, you know, how are you dealing
with you?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I remember, you know where you might have some footage
doing a thing for Sports Cafe where I went down
to the nets and had a net against the King
and they were all over stepping the mark by about
a yard and bowling bouncers and that wasn't particularly.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Please bring that out on people, do you also remember.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, Like every ball was am you know, but then
Styrus was the worst. I mean the pig overstepped the
mark by about three paces and he had a shoulder ball.
He was quite bold into the workout, that was.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
But then you made me go in the nets and
I had to face McMillan and butry, Like I thought
the tory was quick.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And mcllan was a shoulder bawler tea and then.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
You lined the bowling machine up and let it go
at my head.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Oh well we got a crackling background at all.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Clearly didn't know.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
No, that's quite dangerous.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
I'm a natural sportsman, so I consider whatever the sports
I consider.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
With a few men recently that say that about themselves,
is that just like a general thing that goes on
you see along with everything like.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
That, you know and your tender profile, your tender right,
natural athlete.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
They yet to invent the sport that don't be good
at you, but it'll be.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
There, I reckon, you'd be fucking amazing down to like
if you had, you know, the hydra slide. But just
like the racist I saw these guys, Like a hydro
slide is a sport, but racing, racing from the helmet.
Saw these boys and up and up north the at
these merry fellas, and they were up on the elbows,
(30:39):
just the elbows, touching in just one heel and arching
their backs so they had zero friction and they were
quack man and guys like you who you'd think, well,
gravity says you're going to win this. They were eating
the up.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Because why why would why would I be good gravity?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You know, because you're large and you're going downhill. Feather
going downhill break drops from the building fast than a feather,
does it? Well, should we go outside and drop one
on your foot?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
It doesn't because when I was going to say, the
sport that you didn't really excel at is duck hunting.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Ah, No, it's pretty good at that shooting or hunting.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Shooting hunting, crawling up on it, he gets a boxing in.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
But now you come up with this, you see anything
about dunch.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
The thing about duck shooting, it's a waiting game.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
You gotta wait to get the ducks.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
They don't hang out here all the time, or they
did until we started coming here and shooting them.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
As the season been anyway down down a few on
other years.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
You remember the year two two thousand two one, no one?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
That was a magic year?
Speaker 10 (32:06):
On to is it?
Speaker 5 (32:07):
No? No?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Two thousand and one, two thousand and one? However, you
that one in magic.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
M go off on you.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, I just kind of went off. I wasn' actually
needed to do that. Safety is a big part of
this kind of stuff. You're shooting on the old round
and five five peck. Then I was yeah, yeah, good rifle,
great rifle shot. Yeah yeah, a shotgun.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, you're four sixty.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And back then you would have been on the old
old wrangler.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Yeah yeah, i'd be wranglers on yeah, Levis when you
five ones red yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Paper boot cut, bootcut, boot cut.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I haven't been coming at all since I've been doing
there there, Eric says Ganel shooting bar further than yours
will determined in my mind there right, And I was like,
(33:33):
just hold my nuts.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
It was the winner and I said, yeah, so there's
central target.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's sort of what South, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
One of the guys on the in the group was
two times a New Day.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Winner two times. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
He was the pig on the back, pig on the back,
and I think he was also the crack yeah, true enthusiasts.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
I remember that was a huge night number before.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Well, so you wake up of like four and it's
straight at the Whisky's down there and.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Had a big night on the cops. Not a great preparation.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
No, it was in Queensland night before and maybe even Ortland.
I had to fly down that day then do that.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
But the only time I went down to the duck
shehooting was in Rainfilly. And this is quite a funny story.
Fluid in VI cargo for some reason because we couldn't
get into Yeah, I went to Queenstown and hired a
rental car. And we'd been filming with the cops the
night before or the day before, and one of the
police had given me one of those you know, the
fluoro jackets, the green with the blue, and so I
hired a commodore, a green Comodo, so I looked like
(34:48):
an undercover cop. And I put the jacket over the
seat and drove flashing my lights behind people and they
see look in the revision and see a police jacket.
They'd pull over and let me pass. I got from
a vcrgo to Rainfilly in two and three quarter hours
of mid takes Fourth of Fame. I passed one cop,
think about one hundred and seventy and I had advised it,
and I just gave him the old any flashed the
lights away back and I just kept going going, And
(35:09):
then we got there and we were doing you know,
it was a rather large night and we went around
the house. I won't mention in the farm or the
farmer's name. But we went around the house doing a
bit of a time troll in the car. Woke up
the nixt morning, go jeez, well, Jesus, go and check
on the car. The wires hanging out of the wheels
like we've just balled the wheels. And I went, oh, shirt,
(35:31):
And so one of the boys stuck some new tires
on the back of it, and I took it back
to the rental agency. I said, drove over a set
of harrows. Pop the back tires have replaced them there
over that, they reckon. They put it on a.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Somethingdy'd been underneath it with the machine and he drove over.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Car from overs again anywhere in the south.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Of the funny things nowadays that is what happens with
the people going, you know, putting the jacket, the police
jacket over the seat there.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
You wouldn't get away with that nowadays. What do you
mean you have to think of that? Back then.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Then, I reckon, You've got more chances of getting over
it now because it's just so Prepostero.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Back then it was all I don't think anyone will
get away with it.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Well, it worked for the first few people flashing. I thought, shit,
so I'm just going to try my lark. So buried
it in chase of a good story and it worked.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
The statue of limitations on that particular crime, well.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
It's not a crime, no proof. You just told them,
could have made it up. There's a TV show tall story.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Probably one squad car between the two places as well.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And we just say, legally, nothing that Marx is on
the show is the truth.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I made it all up.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It's all. It's all most of the time. He's just
another moment from the show that I think you do
remember this because we had that big guy, not me,
the really big guy. Yeah, they ate all the chickens popped.
Actually he couldn't. I don't think he did.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
He could. He couldn't get off the stage like that.
He had to go sideways.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
He couldn't his legs his legs like he woked like
a duck. He could have been a giant duck.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Makes any look pretty small.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
But it's planted.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
A massive head, huge cranium.
Speaker 10 (37:12):
Yeah, it's called like maybe twelve chicken breast a day
and three pounds of b flats of eggs.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Chickens. Mate, you're knocking off on a day.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, what's just the rundown of your day?
Speaker 10 (37:27):
I keep looking at the monitor.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Here dis routine for the day at the start of
the day.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
You can give us quickly.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
What are your clocking on it now?
Speaker 10 (37:40):
I'm about one hundred and sixty kilos right now. I
usually have to get things tailor made. But there's a
special line of clothes sometimes for bodybuilders. It's one size
fits all, so they usually tight on me compared to
other people.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
So have you heard about the New Zealand body bottles?
Do we have a good reputation worldwide?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I regard it. It's quite a big person here in.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
It looks like so that's how you carry one hundred
and sixty kilos.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
So you think that I'm only twenty kilos lighter than that.
How many chickens do you do today?
Speaker 4 (38:17):
How long would it take?
Speaker 7 (38:18):
How long would it take steroids to turn a human
into ginormous pess?
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Mind, I'm more worried about how long it takes steroids
to destroy your plums.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Oh, that'd be gone and they'd turn into nipples. Surely
that's what happens. They just get sucked up and.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Hop out. Your chairs.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Guys would end up with enormous big nipples, like doing steroids.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
It sounds a lot worse than the Really.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I reckon I could do that many chicken burgers from Popeyes.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Well, you've just eaten one? Is it good?
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Give it a serious Ratingah, considering you didn't share it.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
That was really rude.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It's awesome, Actually, it's really nice. Yeah, unbelievable, and I
think we should finish the show now so I could
eat it.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well, there's one show to go. Do we get any
food on that one?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Well, there's only are they're showingly giving us a certain
amount of food, and there's only really enough food for one.
It's a shambles, right Titles
He's what help the man? Are you doing?
Speaker 2 (00:09):
Mate?
Speaker 1 (00:14):
During the week, you just basically wait.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
They just to launch.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
I don't touch my food.
Speaker 4 (00:17):
It smells really good.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
What is that? What is it?
Speaker 4 (00:20):
She smells really good?
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Just checking in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Just launched in New Zealand to all that's the only
ones that do it. And they've given me all this food.
Speaker 1 (00:28):
You're actually shaking because I'm so excited.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Little my dog does that?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
You hungover?
Speaker 2 (00:36):
I'm just the only time you could eat it was
right now.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
You have got new shoes on as well.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
It's move away from me. It's move away from me, please.
Speaker 1 (00:51):
You'd be about six or seven of those, an't you.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Oh I'm normally six five, but chucking a couple of inches, yes, five,
well not really six three?
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah? Sex five now yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:05):
Is that a guy?
Speaker 1 (01:05):
Is that a guy?
Speaker 4 (01:06):
Just always just add a little bit.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
It is not just your height.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
Just across the board.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
You always round up, always round up, always yeah yeah
co three with the height with weight, well, no, no weight.
He's trying to What he's trying to do is lengthen.
So he's saying, if I'm from one hundred and forty.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
It's spread over a bitter platform expect That's why.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
You guys are never that good at maths. Because he's
rounding up.
Speaker 3 (01:34):
What's that noise? Leap, what's coming? Noise that's going on?
Speaker 5 (01:38):
Just re charging some sex toys in the.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
Diesel powered bed, haven't you got?
Speaker 2 (01:45):
Yeah? Yeah, I have power cuts. I need to go
back to back to diesel.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Do you use jack hammer as a sex toy?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Bony chance?
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Do you say things that I find a gross?
Speaker 3 (01:59):
Yeah, we're just.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
The fumes open.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Anyway? Back to.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
You don't want something to get carbon monoxide poison?
Speaker 3 (02:13):
All right, Okay, I'm going to try and bring this
back somehow. Let's start again, because we're not going to
edit this. I've decided we're not going to edit this show.
Speaker 2 (02:23):
That's the noise anyway.
Speaker 3 (02:24):
Okay, So MAKA, you gave the Nipples no chance of winning,
and they've just and then they went on to win
the next two and they just won the series.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
Well you know what I mean, something you get wrong.
I gave the black Caps no chance of winning the
second tier. Thing.
Speaker 4 (02:38):
Sometimes when you put that out there, it gives them
a motivation.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Yeah, you know, what's been really good?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
As they took you about, it could be said. I
mean it's the same theory that we're like reverse psychology,
which was you know, if you offer abuse, sometimes it's
sort of hocks in and it's under.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
The I think that in the modern times you've.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
Just basically turned from glutton absolutely glutton heathen.
Speaker 3 (03:04):
I actually think in the modern times that shaming and
abusing people to try and get change it is no
longer fashionable.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
Work for you. I mean, we've kept you in check
within reason.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Thank you. Now. I thought that, I, you know, would
be a little bit more insightful in the bedding with
the tab this week, you know, because I was so
supported of the black the silver ferns, but I couldn't
put a bed on them because by the time we
did this, by the time we had played the show,
they already played the game. So I put a lot
(03:36):
of money on the Kiwis the Kiwis to win the
against Australia, which they didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
I heard that that was that that was on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Well, yeah, it's a good game.
Speaker 2 (03:46):
Yes, they played well, how do we go?
Speaker 3 (03:48):
We played well, but we lost close. They scored the
try at the end. And then I put a lot
of money on the Yankees to beat the Dodgers. They lost,
but I did win some money back for.
Speaker 1 (03:59):
Us, say a lot of money.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
Well, it's a lot of money for me.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:04):
I put some money on Jonah knocked on Buller to
score for Japan against the All Blacks, and he did,
so we won something.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Yeah, that's good. That would have been good odds to you.
Nothing on it.
Speaker 3 (04:15):
They Yeah, put team bucks twenty bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:17):
Okay, so we're ahead.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
It's all spread all that out later.
Speaker 1 (04:21):
Because he was paying about eight bucks.
Speaker 3 (04:22):
No, he was paying about three bucks.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
He's a winger, yeah, but he's a Japanese winger against.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
The You know, times have changed since you played Japan mate.
Speaker 4 (04:31):
So fifty to fifty ten, wasn't it Japanese.
Speaker 3 (04:34):
There's a lot of other cultures playing rugby and.
Speaker 4 (04:36):
They not have a sort of a cap of how
many they can have from.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
But these are people that have spent a lot of
time in Japan.
Speaker 2 (04:42):
You know, it's a good question. In the World Cup,
are they allowed to have a similar lineup?
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Yeah, as long as you do the international qualifications.
Speaker 1 (04:53):
I mean if you went to Year for example, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it doesn't And Chef a little bit worried.
Speaker 5 (05:00):
No, Japanese people working and there I wouldn't have a
problem with that. I'm just finding how authentic the food
might be.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Yeah, it make a beautiful kaknda, but make it a sushi.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
Well, well you're going to carry on with us, aren't
you know?
Speaker 2 (05:18):
It's just kept things come up every week.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Sydney in the football.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
And we had an Asian Japanese Japanese kept me playing
for for Auckland like it's the world mate, it's.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
You know, it's yeah, that's a provincial team, isn't It's
not a national representative side anyway.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
There we got that out.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
Okay.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Do you remember when Mark got drunk on the show?
Not this not last week that like really drunk on
the other shows?
Speaker 6 (05:49):
No, I don't remember, damn it.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Yeah a couple of times. Because what I what I
found is what happened the show after just.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
Got over this right, like the years of past, nobody
knows about it. You know, there's a whole generation of
people who you know, old that people have forgotten about said,
you know, over exertion at a particular business lunch and
the net result of which was pretty poor behavior the
whole by today's standards.
Speaker 3 (06:18):
Well by the end by those standards also.
Speaker 1 (06:20):
And the thing is it was on national TV like that.
That was you know that they had some sort of
modicum of decency.
Speaker 3 (06:27):
Required which ignored and well we got it.
Speaker 1 (06:31):
Was not with you the next day and saying how
bad was it?
Speaker 7 (06:36):
We told everyone that you were acting and everyone was
just like, Jesus is such a good actor, and they
just believed it.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
It's perfect.
Speaker 3 (06:43):
Now do you remember what I don't realized, Coret. Do
you remember what your punishment was?
Speaker 6 (06:52):
No?
Speaker 3 (06:53):
Look ever, look at this is this is your punishment.
We had some very important lessons over the last week
and when a sporting role model goes Australia, there can
be only one one punishment and I feel a public flogging,
So mistress please, it's.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
All fun of games, guys, but as long as one
person gets hit. We've seen you in a tight place before.
But I can't believe he's still got pens.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Pence.
Speaker 4 (07:39):
Let's take a look at what he got up to
the weekend.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Did you did you say good? Someone removers Pence?
Speaker 7 (07:46):
Well, public flogging should be a proper flogging and he
probably deserved to have.
Speaker 4 (07:52):
And ironically, I'm sitting here going I can't.
Speaker 1 (07:53):
Believe we did that. I'm amazed that did you get
the stocks? We just happen to some We didn't roll
into another the ground the next week. I can't enjoy that.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
I don't remember that at all.
Speaker 3 (08:09):
That's amazing that we don't remember anything that we did,
and we did it for like twelve years.
Speaker 7 (08:14):
I just think it's part of the human ability to
just remove. Yeah yeah, just completely. You know, it's like
century over it. You just removed from you.
Speaker 3 (08:23):
There was something else that there was something else that
you mentioned last week which you did remember interviewing elmwc Pherson. Yeah, yeah,
well I managed to find it. There we go.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Well on behalf of tav Sports Cafe. Welcome to New
Zealand and very very kind of you to come all
this way for an interview.
Speaker 8 (08:43):
Thank you very much.
Speaker 1 (08:44):
I come bearing gifts being a good key wei bloke.
I've went out diving yesterday and managed to track down
a couple of.
Speaker 6 (08:52):
Little mollusks for it.
Speaker 9 (08:53):
So look at that.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
Indeed, indeed, Ken dive yourself, I understand.
Speaker 9 (08:58):
Look at that. There's a fabulous If I have this finance.
Speaker 6 (09:01):
You may indeed, do you have to watch what you
eat to an extent?
Speaker 5 (09:04):
No?
Speaker 6 (09:05):
Now what about. This is a question I need an
answer to.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
What about Hugh Hefner, If you managed to get invited
to one of those parties with you?
Speaker 9 (09:12):
I have, Actually I was, I was invited.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I think we're actually touching Christmas party.
Speaker 6 (09:19):
Oh no, I didn't know.
Speaker 8 (09:20):
I didn't.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
I didn't.
Speaker 9 (09:22):
Well, if I'd known me, you would have wanted to go.
I would have sent the invitation right over to you. Well,
like the ears and the hotel, you can go about
insistood off.
Speaker 6 (09:32):
They wanted to get my hands.
Speaker 1 (09:35):
That's not good.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
Your legs.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
Anymore.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
Now tell me you use a few of the Australian models,
don't you that? The blikes absolutely sporting environment?
Speaker 4 (09:50):
Absolutely?
Speaker 6 (09:51):
You ever kind of played using a few sportsmen from
New Zealand to model your gear? Well?
Speaker 9 (09:54):
Do you know what I'm thinking about my whole new campaign?
And I think I'd like to have a very sports
oriented campaign for men's work, particularly because we're going to
have to do my research. It's as to who she
is and the ideas.
Speaker 6 (10:08):
Well, I do actually, funnily enough, who Well, it's a
human that's over.
Speaker 1 (10:13):
He's a legend in these parts, really big ginger man,
ginger headed bloke. Yes, an Adonis type of figure, standing
looking black. He holds a record for human projectiling sixty
four buses. Really and it happens to.
Speaker 9 (10:27):
But what if something happened to him and he was
like the lead of my campaign and then the next
thing he was stopped short of a bus or something.
Speaker 6 (10:32):
Well, you've got to live on the edge, now you
that's true.
Speaker 9 (10:34):
Got to take a risk.
Speaker 2 (10:35):
You've got to comfortable large probably large.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
Say, he's definitely got that look like.
Speaker 1 (10:52):
My rather excited for the way that went. And I've
offered to eat the gray fish will and asked. She's
accepted that.
Speaker 6 (11:07):
You can turn it off and push off. I'd appreciate it.
Speaker 4 (11:16):
I think it's for you.
Speaker 3 (11:20):
I know, why why would you take ral McPherson just in.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
Case poorly and you know you need to diffuse it
with humor. He was obviously excited as always he was.
I don't remember that going quite as well as it did.
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Do you think that went well?
Speaker 2 (11:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:39):
I thought there was definitely some chemistry.
Speaker 7 (11:43):
She was definitely one to boot people out if she
wasn't having a good time.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
He was a little touch. I didn't remember that.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
That's you remember it now?
Speaker 1 (11:52):
Yeah, I'll take that to my grave.
Speaker 9 (11:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah, now on the show, going back to try and
remember what we did. One who do you think was
our guest that was on probably the most gimp?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
Yeah, the human cannibal, the gimp. I'm not ade a
career of.
Speaker 3 (12:06):
It, not counting, not counting the people that worked for
uses sports, people that were a guest. Ah, you don't
think you wouldn't think it's the guy on screen that
we're looking at. Oh, there you go, Chris Gans.
Speaker 1 (12:18):
Yeah, he would have been on a fair few times.
Speaker 3 (12:20):
You're on a lot, Chris Well.
Speaker 8 (12:22):
Is it a good thing or a bad thing?
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (12:24):
Bloody good if you get invited back that many times?
Banksmaker running a nice little Kenny Rogers here.
Speaker 4 (12:37):
It's been a long time since I have seen you,
probably a couple of decades.
Speaker 8 (12:40):
Correct, it's been a long time, and it has I've
been watching you guys coming back, and I'm sure I
speak for a lot of New Zealanders that were all
glad you're doing it. So you guys are an institution
during that time, and it's wonderful to see you all
back together.
Speaker 2 (12:54):
Like I said earlier, in many ways, we still institution.
In many ways, it's a.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Different time of institutionalized.
Speaker 3 (13:02):
Of all the people, of all the people that came
on the show, your life's changed the most. You know,
what's what's the latest with your help? You know, you
went through such an incredible, horrific tough time.
Speaker 8 (13:17):
Have we got this is a two hour show, right, yeah? Look,
you know I'm a big advocate Ricardo for you know,
life it is what it is, and for me, I
am I'm lucky to be here.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Really I should be dead.
Speaker 8 (13:36):
What what I went through a few years ago with
the auto section, I was over lucky to survive that.
And then it's just sort of keeping it brief. What
happened after that was was getting through that, suffering a
spinal stroke which sort of put me in a wheelchair,
and then I threw in a little bit of boll
(13:57):
cancer and then sort of managing to rehab get back
into to life via via the world chair, but with
other things that now sort of helped me to be
a bit more mobile. And then I sort of threw
in a heart attack mid mid year this year. So
someone's trying very hard to end it for me. For
(14:21):
some reason, I'm sort of still here, So I'm extreme.
Look I view myself, it's been extremely lucky mate. At
the end of the day, I've got five beautiful kids.
My focus is on that, watching them grow, watch them evolve,
and so that's that's where my life is now.
Speaker 3 (14:38):
Following on social media and watching you go from that
wheelchair to to thinking about rehabbing and then suddenly to
see you up and about, you know, walking with the
help of sort of like a brace and and some crutches.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Walking to a barno. Yes, that was that was pretty inspiration.
Speaker 3 (14:57):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I.
Speaker 5 (14:58):
Was going to say, how much do you think, you know,
being an ex athlete, competitive person as that contributed to you.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
You know, kind of achieve that.
Speaker 8 (15:07):
Yeah, it gives you a good grounding, you know. I
mean what it does is that I think because you
know how shit rehab is and how hard it is
and what it takes to get out of bed every
day and to go and do it, then you know,
I think you get a head start on perhaps, you know,
people that are going through because there's a heap of
people that go through this situation with strokes have to rebuild.
(15:29):
And it's not only something that affects the person, but
it's with your family, whether it's your daughter, your wife,
your partner, your grandkids. It's something that the whole family
goes through. And I think because of the background and sport,
it does mean that you've had the ability to understand
the rehab side of it. But the gains lead is
(15:50):
so small, you know, like when you have a stroke
and you're trying to come back and because of the
atrophy and the legs and the damage that's been done
to the neural pathway, it's a tough grind and you know,
you really see small incremental movements and what you're doing.
But again, you know, it's coming back to that focus
on how you endure and not what you're enduring.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
You what the spiritual aspect of it. Yeah, it's an
impossible question to fully understand from my perspective because obviously
you're in a very unique position. But the spiritual side
of one's well being. You wake up in the morning
(16:32):
and some people are fortunate to wake up those mornings
with a smile on their face, and others don't. They
have to work on it. Glasses half yeah, yeah, yeah.
Do you find that as a net result of the
physical atrophy if you will, which happens to everyone in life.
By the time you're nineteen, your body's not doing what
you thought you would have. You found that getting into
the spiritual side, your actual natural ambulance and joy and
(16:58):
life has been something that has helped or have you
had to hone in on that and focus on that
aspect of life.
Speaker 8 (17:06):
First, you can, I say, fuck me, imagine twenty years
ago if you and I said we'd be sitting here
discussing this is a question.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
It's impossible to conceive. But then in saying that, if
we said it in fifty years time, we would be
because body gives up on them, you know. So how
much is at body and how much is it spiritual?
Speaker 8 (17:23):
Yeah, but Macca, that's a great question, it really is.
And I think a lot it comes down that, I
think as we evolve as humans, and you know, we
all have a wonderful time in our teens and our
twenties and our thirties, and we mature and then you
get to a situation where I think you just want
a little more and you want to find out a
little more. And I think if you're open to that,
(17:44):
some people don't want to. And again I'm a big
believer in that everybody to their own, each to their own,
But I think on that spiritual side of what you're
saying is I think a growth element to understanding how
things work, and that for me made is where I'm
at now. So you know, I want to try and
keep myself healthy both of mind and body as much
(18:06):
as I can, because I have no idea where medical
advancements are going over the next five, ten, fifteen, twenty years.
I'm not a religious man, but I do consider myself
somebody that is spiritual with regards to understanding a bit
more about energy, because I think that that's something that
he rolls around all of us, and so whether you're
(18:28):
putting that element out into the universe and what you're
getting back is a big part of it as well.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I think you mean, I would say that looking at
your life, shit, you've lived seventy years worth of fun
in the time that you had, and from a positive
half glass falls perspective, you've lived with the hammer down
so that the physical aspect has just come slightly sooner.
But if you looked at it a year by year basis,
(18:54):
you've cranked.
Speaker 10 (18:55):
It all in.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Yeah, exactly.
Speaker 8 (18:57):
And you sort of say that sort of times a
bit more to someone like Shane Warren for example, who
passed away a year or two years ago. I mean
he crammed aout one hundred and fifty years and his
sort of fifty years of life.
Speaker 2 (19:09):
You know, for kids as well. The kids would be
the thing that you'd focus on now, like that keeps
every room.
Speaker 8 (19:16):
And I think, you know, if we think back to
those sports cafe days, I'm not sure if any of
us had kids or around about that time. And so,
you know, we are in a different stage of life.
And I think the people that we talked to twenty
odd years ago on the show or twenty five years
ago on the show have now been through journeys with
kids or death or serious illness or injury in their lives,
and so again the conversations are different. I think around
(19:39):
you know who we are and what we do. But
you know, I just keep coming back to the fact
that I'm thankful to be here because you know, really, guys,
I shouldn't be some real.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
Let's have a look at when you were on the
show one hundred and twenty years ago.
Speaker 11 (19:55):
And I think in Daniel Tory, Craig McMillan and Matthew
Bell that we've got three young guys coming through have
a lot of passion and played with a lot of
pride for his zeland as well. So you know they
do great job.
Speaker 6 (20:06):
How he is your bat?
Speaker 2 (20:10):
What did you wanted.
Speaker 8 (20:19):
Right there?
Speaker 2 (20:19):
Right there?
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Did you have it like a feeling heavy one?
Speaker 11 (20:24):
It's not the old man mate, he was. He was
three three pounds plus. You know like that, we'll leave
the way down.
Speaker 6 (20:35):
You have a contemplate knocking the shoulders.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Off it, No, never know that was his thing and
he enjoyed doing that.
Speaker 11 (20:43):
And so I suppose in the cricketing fraternity he was circumcised.
Speaker 2 (20:48):
I suppose everyone scrolled back in.
Speaker 1 (20:51):
The in the heyday of your old man, Everyone, even
the opening batsman, came out with the shoulders.
Speaker 11 (20:58):
It was I've got one at home that I've said
that I won't let him get his hands on. And
because I think it's as much of his bat and
his players as a huge part.
Speaker 6 (21:07):
Of mijohn cricket, and you take it down to the
nets and just go for the big one.
Speaker 2 (21:11):
Secretly, I do.
Speaker 1 (21:13):
I think that the point I was trying to make
earlier is the elder you get, the more shit happens, right,
whether you like it or not. That's just the way
the world unfolds it. So I've always had an amazing
admiration for the eighty year old man or woman who
you see walking down the street with a bit of
a spring of the step, who when you say good
morning at morning, you know they're chipper and their upbeat
because they haven't woken up like that. They've decided when
(21:36):
they got out of bed. Fuck it. I'm putting a
smile on my face and I'm attacking today with the
right attitude.
Speaker 3 (21:41):
But also too, people don't always know what your story is.
You know, they might see an eighty year old and
go look at the silly old man not realizing that
he had fought in the war and you know, saved
our country or whatever. I mean, everyone's got their own story.
So I mean sounds to me, Kenzy, that you've got
(22:01):
a really good understanding and appreciation of life. Now.
Speaker 8 (22:05):
Yeah, well the thing is, Ricardo, I think it's it's
it's different because of the situation you find yourself in.
And but Mac is right, it's a choice. Right when
you get out of bed. I can choose to be grumpy,
I can choose to be happy, I can choose to
be sad. Choice is the gift that is so underrated.
I think within the human race, you know, we we
we can decide our response to everything. And when you
(22:27):
come into a situation I think, which is just magnified
by what I find myself in now, then it's even
more important, I think, to focus on that choice because
you know, that's what that's what defines the day. And
again I think over the last particularly sort of fifteen
years for me, again not judging people at face value,
(22:51):
because as you've quite rightly said that, you know, that
older person that you saw that was in the war,
or that person that's just rushed out in front of
you at an intersection and nearly caused an accident, is
off to the hospital because their child has just been
struck by a car.
Speaker 2 (23:04):
So you know, it's it's sort of not.
Speaker 8 (23:07):
Falling into the trap of actually seen something or passing
judgment on it. With that first instance, I think that's
something that you grow into and I think it's something
that is quite valuable.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
Yeah, happiness is a breed of happiness with all of
these things that have gone on. Obviously you've had a
bit of warfare. After warfare, are you able to work
at the.
Speaker 8 (23:25):
Moment, are you No, I've had a startup in sport
tech for about the last or six years, where I'm
fortunate now that it doesn't require me to sort of
have a physical element to what I do if I
was involved as a builder or a tradesman or anything
like that. So the space that I've been in for
the last or of several years has been around the
integration of tech into sport And I was discussing this
(23:48):
earlier with Ricardo and there's a couple of things coming
online now, which is the space that I'm in. There
was a UFC Fight Night in Vegas about six weeks
ago or seven weeks ago where Dana White took UFC
to the Sphere in Las Vegas, So it was an
integration of technolology with computer generator graphics and having the
(24:10):
live event there. So again not to bore the crap
out of you guys or anybody else, but that's the
sort of space that I'm that I've been in for
the last six years. And we've had some interest up
in Saudi. We've got a couple of contracts up there
that we're doing. So I'm very fortunate that the space
I'm in allows me to can sort of continue on
with you know, with how I find myself physically.
Speaker 3 (24:28):
What about what about on the weekend? What about New
Zealand beating India in a series in cricket? I mean
that is that's one of New Zealand's sports greatest moments
without a doubt.
Speaker 8 (24:38):
Yeah, it's kind of like Ozzie's betting us at Eden
Park in any capacity work from a rugby perspective, right,
but beating India. I think we've got a bit of
a chat group. So the ninety nine side for cricket
that won in England in the Tests thereies where we
won our first ever Test match at Lord's. We've got
a reunion at the Basin in about six weeks time actually,
(25:02):
and we've had a chat group for a few months
and we were discussing this very this very aspect about
where does it, where does it sit within sort of
the the New Zealand cricket landscape. I think, you know,
when you look at the international sort of tournaments, the
Test when we had the ICC, when we had back
in two thousand, but the hardest place is to win
(25:23):
Australia first we believed, and then and then India. So
so the class of twenty four. That's just sort of
won that Test series in India for the first time
ever for New Zealand as a remarkable feat, you know,
given the fact that they were not actually given any
hope and hell and the spinners.
Speaker 1 (25:42):
The spinners are stepping up when they in the last
yet and I've got a few years so in their.
Speaker 2 (25:47):
Own game pretty much.
Speaker 8 (25:48):
Yeah, it is, mate, But I mean it's the pressure
that the batters put on, right because the hard thing
going over there, I think bowling wise, you can do,
you know, the conditions of pavorable. The thing where we've
always struggled previously is in the batting side and putting
the runs on the board. So for Russian Ravendra to
do what he did, But remember all of this was
done without Williamson as well, so that adds even more kudos,
(26:10):
I think to the victory because you know they're the
best player and arguably in New Zealand's greatest player. I
was not not even in the side. So so Ravendra,
who I think is going to be a very very
special player, got runs in the first Test. Tom Latham
fronted up into the second Test, so so Lee it
was Yes, it's the wickets and that's really important. But
(26:31):
it's it's getting that run that allows the bowlers.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
To do what they've got to do.
Speaker 8 (26:35):
So so it was a it was a wonderful performance.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Mate.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I think the whole of New Zealand would want to
know what's a great day for Chris Keans right now?
Speaker 8 (26:44):
For me, Mate, it's it's getting out of bed, going
to the gym, working out physically, talking to my kids,
doing my work and cooking. I've bizarrely, now that I'm
in a whorl chair, I've actually got into into cooking
more than when I was able body and and mate,
(27:06):
really just doing that for me. If I tack those
elements off in the day, I'm a happy man maker.
Speaker 3 (27:12):
All right mate.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 8 (27:13):
And also sorry Ma, yeah, sorry, no you go Ricardo.
Speaker 3 (27:17):
No, I was just going to say thank you so
much for your time. Like it's obviously this is quite
a different interview than we've ever had you before on
the show, and you're inspiring.
Speaker 9 (27:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (27:27):
I mean mate, I said to you that, you know,
I was sitting around having a knee replacement sort of
you know, struggling what I thought was struggling, and then
I was watching you sort of getting up and getting
in the gym with your crutches and stuff, and I
was like, oh my god, what the hell am I
moaning about? Like, so just be aware, not only asked,
but you're inspiring a lot of people with what you're doing.
(27:48):
And I know that. I know it's tough. I know
every day is a challenge, but yeah, thank you for
that inspiration, and thank you for coming back. It's been
great to catch up.
Speaker 8 (28:00):
Yeah, yeah, no, thanks mane. And look, I hope it's
not been too fucking more. But well, I know it's life, no,
I know, but I'm also conscious of that, right, and
the fact that I know that I know the audience
and you guys, and and you know, you brought so
much fun into you know, everybody's lives and and look,
this is a different part of life and and whatnot.
(28:22):
But thanks for giving the opportunity to come on. And
it's been great to rekindle what we did twenty five
years ago in a different space.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
And he stopped saying twenty five years ago. Yeah, yeah,
that's the only criticism I've got.
Speaker 1 (28:34):
You know, you're looking well, mate, You've got to smile
on your face. It's not a little Kenny Rodgers, you know.
Speaker 8 (28:39):
Thanks, Thanks Marcatt, thank you. I really appreciate you guys
having me on it, and best of luck with the
show and it's it's been great.
Speaker 1 (28:47):
Pretty inspiration away.
Speaker 2 (28:49):
The last time I actually saw him.
Speaker 5 (28:51):
I was sure to mention it in park Actually, him
and Dionne were trying to teach how me bowling him
and Manx Brady they would teach them that they're in
the nets.
Speaker 2 (28:58):
Yeah, yeah, and you know which was amazing for me,
you know, yeah, and I'm going to send me pay
attention to this. Yeah, you know, how are you dealing
with you?
Speaker 1 (29:06):
I remember, you know where you might have some footage
doing a thing for Sports Cafe where I went down
to the nets and had a net against the King
and they were all over stepping the mark by about
a yard and bowling bouncers and that wasn't particularly.
Speaker 3 (29:21):
Please bring that out on people, do you also remember.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
Yeah, Like every ball was am you know, but then
Styrus was the worst. I mean the pig overstepped the
mark by about three paces and he had a shoulder ball.
He was quite bold into the workout, that was.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
But then you made me go in the nets and
I had to face McMillan and butry, Like I thought
the tory was quick.
Speaker 1 (29:46):
And mcllan was a shoulder bawler tea and then.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
You lined the bowling machine up and let it go
at my head.
Speaker 4 (29:52):
Oh well we got a crackling background at all.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
Clearly didn't know.
Speaker 4 (29:56):
No, that's quite dangerous.
Speaker 3 (29:57):
I'm a natural sportsman, so I consider whatever the sports
I consider.
Speaker 7 (30:01):
With a few men recently that say that about themselves,
is that just like a general thing that goes on
you see along with everything like.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
That, you know and your tender profile, your tender right,
natural athlete.
Speaker 2 (30:14):
They yet to invent the sport that don't be good
at you, but it'll be.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
There, I reckon, you'd be fucking amazing down to like
if you had, you know, the hydra slide. But just
like the racist I saw these guys, Like a hydro
slide is a sport, but racing, racing from the helmet.
Saw these boys and up and up north the at
these merry fellas, and they were up on the elbows,
(30:39):
just the elbows, touching in just one heel and arching
their backs so they had zero friction and they were
quack man and guys like you who you'd think, well,
gravity says you're going to win this. They were eating
the up.
Speaker 3 (30:50):
Because why why would why would I be good gravity?
Speaker 1 (30:54):
You know, because you're large and you're going downhill. Feather
going downhill break drops from the building fast than a feather,
does it? Well, should we go outside and drop one
on your foot?
Speaker 3 (31:05):
It doesn't because when I was going to say, the
sport that you didn't really excel at is duck hunting.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Ah, No, it's pretty good at that shooting or hunting.
Speaker 3 (31:18):
Shooting hunting, crawling up on it, he gets a boxing in.
Speaker 2 (31:22):
But now you come up with this, you see anything
about dunch.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
The thing about duck shooting, it's a waiting game.
Speaker 1 (31:39):
You gotta wait to get the ducks.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
They don't hang out here all the time, or they
did until we started coming here and shooting them.
Speaker 2 (31:52):
As the season been anyway down down a few on
other years.
Speaker 11 (31:57):
You remember the year two two thousand two one, no one?
Speaker 3 (32:05):
That was a magic year?
Speaker 10 (32:06):
On to is it?
Speaker 5 (32:07):
No? No?
Speaker 2 (32:07):
Two thousand and one, two thousand and one? However, you
that one in magic.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
M go off on you.
Speaker 2 (32:19):
Yeah, I just kind of went off. I wasn' actually
needed to do that. Safety is a big part of
this kind of stuff. You're shooting on the old round
and five five peck. Then I was yeah, yeah, good rifle,
great rifle shot. Yeah yeah, a shotgun.
Speaker 3 (32:31):
Yeah, you're four sixty.
Speaker 2 (32:34):
And back then you would have been on the old
old wrangler.
Speaker 8 (32:37):
Yeah yeah, i'd be wranglers on yeah, Levis when you
five ones red yeah yeah yeah.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Paper boot cut, bootcut, boot cut.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (33:12):
I haven't been coming at all since I've been doing
there there, Eric says Ganel shooting bar further than yours
will determined in my mind there right, And I was like,
(33:33):
just hold my nuts.
Speaker 3 (33:49):
It was the winner and I said, yeah, so there's
central target.
Speaker 2 (33:53):
It's sort of what South, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (33:57):
One of the guys on the in the group was
two times a New Day.
Speaker 2 (34:01):
Winner two times. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (34:03):
He was the pig on the back, pig on the back,
and I think he was also the crack yeah, true enthusiasts.
Speaker 2 (34:09):
I remember that was a huge night number before.
Speaker 1 (34:13):
Well, so you wake up of like four and it's
straight at the Whisky's down there and.
Speaker 3 (34:17):
Had a big night on the cops. Not a great preparation.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
No, it was in Queensland night before and maybe even Ortland.
I had to fly down that day then do that.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
But the only time I went down to the duck
shehooting was in Rainfilly. And this is quite a funny story.
Fluid in VI cargo for some reason because we couldn't
get into Yeah, I went to Queenstown and hired a
rental car. And we'd been filming with the cops the
night before or the day before, and one of the
police had given me one of those you know, the
fluoro jackets, the green with the blue, and so I
hired a commodore, a green Comodo, so I looked like
(34:48):
an undercover cop. And I put the jacket over the
seat and drove flashing my lights behind people and they
see look in the revision and see a police jacket.
They'd pull over and let me pass. I got from
a vcrgo to Rainfilly in two and three quarter hours
of mid takes Fourth of Fame. I passed one cop,
think about one hundred and seventy and I had advised it,
and I just gave him the old any flashed the
lights away back and I just kept going going, And
(35:09):
then we got there and we were doing you know,
it was a rather large night and we went around
the house. I won't mention in the farm or the
farmer's name. But we went around the house doing a
bit of a time troll in the car. Woke up
the nixt morning, go jeez, well, Jesus, go and check
on the car. The wires hanging out of the wheels
like we've just balled the wheels. And I went, oh, shirt,
(35:31):
And so one of the boys stuck some new tires
on the back of it, and I took it back
to the rental agency. I said, drove over a set
of harrows. Pop the back tires have replaced them there
over that, they reckon. They put it on a.
Speaker 2 (35:42):
Somethingdy'd been underneath it with the machine and he drove over.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
Car from overs again anywhere in the south.
Speaker 5 (35:51):
Of the funny things nowadays that is what happens with
the people going, you know, putting the jacket, the police
jacket over the seat there.
Speaker 2 (35:56):
You wouldn't get away with that nowadays. What do you
mean you have to think of that? Back then.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
Then, I reckon, You've got more chances of getting over
it now because it's just so Prepostero.
Speaker 3 (36:06):
Back then it was all I don't think anyone will
get away with it.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
Well, it worked for the first few people flashing. I thought, shit,
so I'm just going to try my lark. So buried
it in chase of a good story and it worked.
Speaker 3 (36:20):
The statue of limitations on that particular crime, well.
Speaker 1 (36:23):
It's not a crime, no proof. You just told them,
could have made it up. There's a TV show tall story.
Speaker 4 (36:32):
Probably one squad car between the two places as well.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
And we just say, legally, nothing that Marx is on
the show is the truth.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
I made it all up.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
It's all. It's all most of the time. He's just
another moment from the show that I think you do
remember this because we had that big guy, not me,
the really big guy. Yeah, they ate all the chickens popped.
Actually he couldn't. I don't think he did.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
He could. He couldn't get off the stage like that.
He had to go sideways.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
He couldn't his legs his legs like he woked like
a duck. He could have been a giant duck.
Speaker 2 (37:06):
Makes any look pretty small.
Speaker 3 (37:07):
But it's planted.
Speaker 1 (37:10):
A massive head, huge cranium.
Speaker 10 (37:12):
Yeah, it's called like maybe twelve chicken breast a day
and three pounds of b flats of eggs.
Speaker 1 (37:21):
Chickens. Mate, you're knocking off on a day.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
Yeah, what's just the rundown of your day?
Speaker 10 (37:27):
I keep looking at the monitor.
Speaker 2 (37:29):
Here dis routine for the day at the start of
the day.
Speaker 8 (37:33):
You can give us quickly.
Speaker 1 (37:39):
What are your clocking on it now?
Speaker 10 (37:40):
I'm about one hundred and sixty kilos right now. I
usually have to get things tailor made. But there's a
special line of clothes sometimes for bodybuilders. It's one size
fits all, so they usually tight on me compared to
other people.
Speaker 4 (37:52):
So have you heard about the New Zealand body bottles?
Do we have a good reputation worldwide?
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (38:02):
I regard it. It's quite a big person here in.
Speaker 1 (38:08):
It looks like so that's how you carry one hundred
and sixty kilos.
Speaker 3 (38:12):
So you think that I'm only twenty kilos lighter than that.
How many chickens do you do today?
Speaker 4 (38:17):
How long would it take?
Speaker 7 (38:18):
How long would it take steroids to turn a human
into ginormous pess?
Speaker 1 (38:23):
Mind, I'm more worried about how long it takes steroids
to destroy your plums.
Speaker 4 (38:27):
Oh, that'd be gone and they'd turn into nipples. Surely
that's what happens. They just get sucked up and.
Speaker 1 (38:32):
Hop out. Your chairs.
Speaker 4 (38:33):
Guys would end up with enormous big nipples, like doing steroids.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
It sounds a lot worse than the Really.
Speaker 3 (38:42):
I reckon I could do that many chicken burgers from Popeyes.
Speaker 1 (38:45):
Well, you've just eaten one? Is it good?
Speaker 4 (38:47):
Give it a serious Ratingah, considering you didn't share it.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
That was really rude.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It's awesome, Actually, it's really nice. Yeah, unbelievable, and I
think we should finish the show now so I could
eat it.
Speaker 2 (38:57):
Well, there's one show to go. Do we get any
food on that one?
Speaker 3 (39:01):
Well, there's only are they're showingly giving us a certain
amount of food, and there's only really enough food for one.
It's a shambles, right Titles
