Speaker 2 (00:14):
We rolling.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I've got anything.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That We've selected a location that's got a bar and
behind with actual alcohol.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I do you think I want to stand up here?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Instead of that?
Speaker 3 (00:30):

In the secret location. You got budget to get us back.
(00:58):
All right, welcome to the T A B. Sports Cafe

that secret because when you were.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It was Yeah, the cargo to find is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Now I've written some stuff down this week. Are you
comfortable standing up?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, I like it. I'm just saying it was We've
got it, We've written stuff down.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
We would have keeped the kind of relaxed kind of
eyes we've had going in to This could be going
to your.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Head a bit. I think the show when you get
a bit older, you tend to forget things.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Right, so it's quite you're over complicating it.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So Tasman Rampley Shield victory. Did you watch that? Do
you want me to tell you what happened?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, Tasman won the Rampley Shield. It was magnificent for
the first time, first first time ever yeah, beating Hawks
Bay last minute kicked from about forty five to fifty
meters out through the past.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
So the ram Fildy shields now in the second vision.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
No Tess been one of the top teams in the
first vision. Really yeah, so we won't be doing the
show and Tasman for a while because you don't last.
So the Paralympics obviously coming to any end. Ana Grimaldi
won a gold medal form New Zealand, which was incredible,
and the the in the two hundred meters after a
tough time in the long jump. The couple of things.
(02:13):
There's a volleyball player that plays for Iran, and what
Iran did is they went out and found the second
tallest man in the world, eight foot one.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
In the world, or just in the world.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Where they found them. They found them in the Ran,
not on.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
One of the nuclear power stations in China, China. Yeah, yeah,
but that doesn't matter on me.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah. So, and he's eight for one and he's in
the Paralympic because he had an accent with his legs
and so they seeks I think it was on a bike.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Did he lose both legs and now he's like six
ft one.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Because he had extensions on the.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
No, you're not quite following.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Me, not quite one. Can you just stand there and
put your hand over the bathroom you be able to
except or the ball. It doesn't matter if you could
do one. There's no you've been paid thousands and millions
of dollars there.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And what he's doing in the body ruined basketball, except
he's playing volleyball.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't think they're a great advantage with yeah, spike,
if you don't have to be agile to stand under
a basketball who you just cover the cup, right, But
in volleyball, surely you've got to move await, which might
be hard for bad legs. And you see they have
bad legs.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
A beach.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, it's not beach. I'm not talking to anyone anymore
like you did anyone try to see this.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
That's why he's eight for one. He's got these big
he's stilts.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's just.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Why, well, that's what we said right at the beginning.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
We could all be taller.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
At least you're wanting watch against South Africa. Yeah, m hmmm.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, I read in the paper, and therefore I just
sort of fast forward through the shorter of British version
of it. It's a good result, it's a good way
to watch it.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, yeah, I'll do things different.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I think I mentioned that if if I was involved,
I don't know what i'd do different.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
But if I do, think i'd change.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It around, change everything around. Why not? Yeah, but you
don't know what those specifics on that.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
In the backs and the forwards.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
No kick, I would say, no kicking. I'll bring back
griz Wi.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Right. So when I'm asking you what we should be doing,
I'm not really going to get much scene. Would I do?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
What's one thing that you would do?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The first thing I would do was I'd ask Eric
Rush Russia. Can you hear us?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
You know, yeah, I can hear it.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
What would you do, Eric?
Speaker 7 (04:40):
What would you do if you could change one thing
about the or Blacks the currently?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I didn't hear that. What would you do to to
help the All Blacks beat Outday beat South Africa?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Jees?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
That's a play them at home?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That might help in New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
Yeah, it's pretty tough over there making those what ofs
like playing Alice Park. It's a bit of a bit
of a cauldron. So but the great thing about is
is a half about a four pack at twenty three
years old, and the had that experience now, so they
let him get better.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It was always better playing in Capetown, wasn't it. I
mean certainly after the definitely.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Which is where the last game was.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
We just lost, sure, But all I'm saying is I
reckon they had a much better time after they would
have been Johannesburg, which is a bit of a ship's
what they go out, but cap down on the other end, right,
So it's.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Just a bit of an experience. Is that what you're saying.
They just need a little bit more mature.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (05:35):
Yeah, well that the bomb score or whatever they call them.
When they come on, they tend to shut the games
down really well because they've you know, some of them
played one hundred chests and then we got young, young,
bloody guys coming off the bench with five chests.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You know this, this is going to be a difference.
What do you think of because you've coached to by
like I thought he was outstanding. What do you think.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I didn't hear that you either, mate? This is a
fucking shambles, right, give signed languaging one another.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Station. Look, you come to a new venue and we've
got a few technical erarors and I'm trying to work
through it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, okay, good, I'm glad you run it all down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You can hit it just anyway, Rushie yo. What did
you think of two boa as game?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, no, he was He was excellent, mate, bloody,
he was leading the peck and like he's only twenty three.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Mat I actually coached him as a kid out of
his tommokies, so he's not a bit, not a big player.
And when you get guys like that with a bit
of experience and just going to get better, So.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
You can hear that, you can't fucking hear Eric, That's
the point I'm trying to make.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's what I'm trying to say to you is a
post production.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I can hear you. You shout, I can't hear Eric.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm shouting because you're just blowing the trump in my
ear and I can't hear myself.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
That's a point I'm trying to make.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Pot Thank you, Sorry, Eric, carry on.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
You know he played well paid really well.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh that was the answer. He played well.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You can you fucking lip reading?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Did he say lip reading? Yeah? Yeah, I can.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I can error.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Marry Joe coming on soon.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
This is this is twenty twenty four fact. I mean
we should be able to talk to someone on the laptop.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, we can, but if we tune them up, then
he feeds back into a microphone.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
How do all the other podcasts will do it?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Well, they use the system that's not working for us.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Okay, what's the what's the issue when that's not scoring
a point in the last twenty minutes?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Last four games?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
There? Yeah, Eric, what's the position we're not scoring any
points in the last twenty minutes?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, that's a great point.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Good question, was it? That was my question, Eric, that
was my question.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's my question.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
We just leave one of them again, you know, it's
just young guys just haven't been in their pressure before,
I guess.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And you can't just one guy to do it.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
It's going to be a whole team.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Hey, Rushie, don't get too profile, Like, can you just
move back from the camera. I can see his nose and.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's probably all you can see.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Now I'll move back. That's better.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's better. Now. Are you playing the Classics are playing
up in funger Ray on the weekend?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Yeah that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm actually a touch judge.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
My brothers the head of the referees up here.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So me and Home are the touch judges.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
So they they said, oh do you want to jump
on at the end, And then I saw a few
of the names, and I saw John R.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Four and guys who just finished plane as a hell,
now I'm not getting up. Did you hear any of that?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I had it. It was good stuff, good stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Good. I'll let you go and I'll just come down
next time.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It might be easiers.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
A long way from fung Ay to the cargo though. Okay,
see you guys.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Good point.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I'm all in fame of getting guess actually into the
studio from camp.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Have you any any lined up?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You know that we have a big studio.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It makes sense really that was the reason.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Like we've had some technical issues because we've moved to
a new studio. I put a lot of work into
this and that just didn't work us.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Yes, behind the scenes and people are seeing it. You know,
you didn't see Michaelangelo painting the chapel.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Chapels, right, So talking about South Africa, which we did
at some stage, you guys were invited to go with
our security guards to go camping overnight.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Oh that's many moments ago Russia was there. It was
all of dirty dirties, like am I sclearing No, that's good, I'll.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Show the footage, which is fine, it said, not so
good for people on the podcast. So this is the
dirty diuties and you're blacks being taken away by the
security guards and showing how the fire machine guns and
hand grenades. Who's got the machine gun?
Speaker 11 (09:47):
Then the padder gets it. Firing machine gun can be
lots of fun. But there's always the thought in the
back of the mind that says, in South Africa, they
don't carry guns just to play with. And even more
sobering thought was that similar weapons were being carried by
the team security every minute of the tour.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
Some animals, you know, most of the guys going, you're
gonna take rifles in it.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I'm gonna take a pocket nice you know you meet
up with you guys back here.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I don't need a lot either.
Speaker 11 (10:20):
Fortunately, no one was a bad enough shot to need
a machine gun to hunt some spring bark.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
You're pretty awesome with that machine guns.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
To tell you what that Peeddican is did Noe's gonna
throw anything that we shot at.
Speaker 11 (10:35):
The dead And if the paddock thought the punishment was over.
There was still time for a hand grenade or two
for breakfast. Or you can throw it and you throw
it like I just chuck it over and you look
where you're throwing it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Most important things. You're standing and you throw yourn and
you aimed it.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Something you throw that you see, okay, standing in the
deck and then you go down.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You're gonna ever go to real grenadia.
Speaker 10 (10:59):
That's while we're on on the.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
Deck and we're playing there.
Speaker 12 (11:03):
You tried to fred the pin and drop the gannadi
on the side the ground.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Visual bomb squad came from him. Yeah, this is where
the bomb squad. This is the black bomb Squad ninety two.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So we ended up around that campfire right and this big,
big yarp. He was about seven, the same size as
Mark Coxwley. They were almost doing a standoff and he said, no, no,
that's Mark Coxey. Looks like Uncanny was in.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Looks incredible, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
He said, you know, you boys, have you ever seen
one of this? And when he said what's that? And
he said it's called a torpede? And we're at varsity
and so he goes crack and drinks this can of
beer with a hole in it, said, no ship, never
seen one of in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Give us a crack.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And about half the time and he was just so
offended that he said, oh no, no, this is this
is not the right. It must have been a mistake.
I'm telling you, we must do it again. And so
he kept on doing it, and he kept on going
and going, and every three beers crews around the corner,
go reat limply the old neck come back and just
keep on going. And in the end he went to
bigger cans because he was self ended. And then that
(12:15):
very far that you saw, about an hour and a
half after that shot, he just gave the old timber
and just fucking bo under the embers. It was the
most magnificent moment.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Do you want to introduce our guest.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I love to.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
One of New Zealand's greatest boxes, probably the prettiest boxer
in New Zealand, David la The whole couch can lie.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Nothing but the catch.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
What that can I bring? Can I show this to
you guys? I'm thinking I was watching you.
Speaker 13 (12:52):
Guys before you probably could this chap more so you
could probably he put the bears to the sign and
we've got some beautiful, monooka, honey, this is what Joe was.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Going on about.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yes, yeah, he said, he said that he had promised
you a couple of cases.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Oh yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Do you do the same thing with training and you
use the same thing you put it?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Use it for everything.
Speaker 13 (13:13):
This is so when I was fourteen years old, when
I first started boxing, I wanted to call myself the
candy man because I'd spend all my pocket.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Money at the dairy.
Speaker 13 (13:22):
Any amount of money I ever made, my currency was
how many two dollars mixes I could buy it the dairy.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So it's it's the same childhood when you pinched like
twenty cents out of a book bottle, beautifully.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
It was like, would you one of those kids who
used to steal money at the book bottle? No?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
But I had friends who did it, you know. I
was accountlis got a couple.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Of you called the Handymann.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, any other reasons?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What was he called the handyman?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well that was my message name, shut up?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Long story short.
Speaker 13 (13:54):
Yeah, eight fillings later and probably three or four teeth later,
I've kind of come around to getting more and more
natural source of sugar.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So what was what was really good? As hell, subtlely
you introduced the sponsor.
Speaker 13 (14:08):
I thought we were going to get a cut show chambles.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So what's the story with your fight? Like, like, you
don't mind if I'm talking about boxing or you just
want to carry on before you get it.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know, Dave and I go back a long way.
We've been out a couple of times. You know what
I mean. You're not in training. We've we've had a
couple of names. It's a good time. I just wanted
to get Yeah, that's great, no questions.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
I'm sped.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
You don't need a name.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Can you give us some detail?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Jumping myself, but it's none of them, just anyone else's.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Credentials.
Speaker 14 (14:45):
Why did you bring it up with it the notes?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Because you were to to fight someone and then now
you're not fighting them anymore. What's going on?
Speaker 13 (14:53):
Yes, So my original opponent, Blake Capparello, tested positive about
six weeks ago for exogynist testosterone, so we basically had
to find a replacement real quick.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
We were trying to get the fight still happen.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So who are you fighting now?
Speaker 13 (15:08):
So we've got a replacement from from the States. His
name is Tommy Carpentcy. It's a similar build, some same stance,
same age, hopefully not on the juice. But we were
actually pretty happy to take the fight as it was
because he was, in my mind, a more credible opponent.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
But but how do you change because you've been spending
all this time ready for one opponent and then suddenly
you've got a few days to sort of look at
his flight footage and go right, how does he fight?
How do I change? That's that's boxing.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I guess It's like, unless he was a Southport or something,
he's still.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
A south boy, so they're both south Warce. Yes, that
was the question I had is how do you train
for a Southport if they come up like a left
hand bowler and cricket, you know, left on legs for
for example, very rare? How do you train for them
if they're only twenty percent of your opponent?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Oh? Yeah, no, no, good question, actually, so had I've had.
Speaker 13 (16:04):
There are a lot more left hand fighters overseas, which
I don't know statistically why that is, but I've fought
probably fifteen to twenty south well.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
So obviously just getting your reps and I think can you.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Find enough to spa with to get work with decent workout.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (16:19):
Yeah, I've We've got a whole bunch of bunch of
different spying planners that we can work with in Queensland,
which is where I'm living now, and.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
They're all high level.
Speaker 13 (16:29):
We've actually got like an abundance of really high quality
fighters in this corner of the earth. So really cool
to be able to put a show on in New
Zealand with this caliber of fighters. And this is actually
the first fight that's being streamed on the biggest global
boxing platform form design, which is called daz n dot com.
(16:51):
And this is basically the start of a whole new
era of boxing and to be spear hitting that is
pretty frequent.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
And I've been a member of that for a couple
of years because I love Canelo over is.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Yeah, he's like my fav You'll be able to see them.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah yeah, you get behind the scenes, you get all
that access. It's so so.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I've got my own profile on there, yeah, finding out
boxing and you have seen all sort of stuff sort
of leading the way, isn't it with this sort of
kind of paper view and contents and stuff your bed.
I don't want to mention other sports, but you know,
you find that it seems to be the way, don't it.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Yeah, well it's it's an ever ever changing landscape, you know.
So we've got to we've got to go global. I've
got to go digital.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sorry, it's all got.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
To go online.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Where's this? Hold on? Shut up?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Shut up, don't hold on? Hold on my children?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Shut up?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Like where is your I'm finding at the Viaduct Event Center.
Speaker 13 (17:50):
However, I think out of the ninety tables there are
some like eighty eight sold. So if if you're lucky
enough to get to get in the door, you'll be
able to see it live.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
However, the only other way to watch it will be
on on the zone.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So this fight, where is this lead to? For you?
Speaker 13 (18:07):
So this will get me into the top fifteen and
two different sanctioning bodies. So for like the layman, there
are four major belts that you can fight for.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
This will get me.
Speaker 13 (18:15):
Into the into the mix for two of those belts,
and the idea is you you get a world title
and then you unify, so ideally get all the belts.
So for me myself as a as a cruise weight,
I want to win all four cruiseweight titles and then
potentially move up to heavyweight, because I think I've got the.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Like being a boxer. Obviously you've been punched in the
face a lot and we can all see that instead.
Is that awkward for you? You know, looking at the look.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
In the mirror that reminds me of a joke?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
The you know, the little girl goes in priest, right,
he goes in and they're doing chressman.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh, you did tell this the other day, didn't I? Yeah,
But like I'm going to do this time?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Can I ed it out?
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Anyhow?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It doesn't matter Rosie goes in the priest.
Speaker 13 (19:15):
You guys are the godfathers of like political incorrectness and
sports and sports?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
What does this week look like? I'm building up to say,
the fight only well, you know, five days away. So
what what happens? What happens this week for you? How
much sort of training?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Heavy trainings? What does it look like like?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Well, this seems like a bit of a waste of time.
I'm honest.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
We couldn't agree more.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
So. I had my last sparring session this morning and
then we have.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Hell are you now twenty nine? When do you get
this when in your schedule of things? Because clearly, being
as devoted and capable as you are, You've got a plan.
When are you fighting for that that title?
Speaker 13 (20:03):
I'd say in the next two years, I'd expect be
fighting for a world title. And if it comes sooner,
it comes sooner. But if it comes later, it comes later.
I'm not like a patient dude, but I've I've stuck
to the process and I've just trusted the process for
the last fifteen years and it's got me to where
I'm now. And now I've got an amazing team. I've
got Duco, I've got Thornbury Promotions. My coach, Nol Thornberry
(20:27):
has taken three of his small handful.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Of boxes to a world title. So I feel very capable.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I think the last fight I saw of yours was Olympics. Yeah,
and you got silver.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Bronze bronze, yeah, the wrong color of gold.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I remember the fight, and it was you were You
should have beaten them in a couple of years. If
you had a couple of years more, you would have.
But you're maybe just a bit loose by compared tos.
He was sort of technical in the South poys.
Speaker 13 (20:59):
You know, you can you can make as many excuses
as you like at the end of the day, I
didn't win, so but.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I mean, do you learn more from your losses and
you wins?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (21:07):
Absolutely, Yeah, my losses have been way more valuable than
my most of my wins. But obviously getting the getting
the cake at the end of the day is what
we're is what sends us into the stratus.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Firms like not talk about cake because I tend to
get a little bit over excited when there's a lot
of cake talk.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
I love the cake.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, so I obviously one of the things that you
made a point before Lee about half an hour ago,
Like I've just been listening to you talk. You're promoting yourself.
You're hungry. You want people to watch, you want people
to buy tables, you want people to support your sponsors.
That's why boxing does so well because you're not taking
it for granted that people are going to show up.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
It's a pretty honest sport in that way.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, it always has been. It's always been a hustle sport.
It's always been a sport, you know, way back, It's
always been a sport where you're going I need to
work to get people to show up. I need work
because more people watch me, the more fights I'm going
to get because the more popular I am. So it's
a hustle sport.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
The keywis aren't brash or arrogant. They're articulate, they're well
put together, they're well thought through.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I love the humility of what you say. See in
combat sport in New Zealand at the moment, you know,
there's just a self belief determination. You know, plan is
how you're going to make it happen. But there's no
wankare and showers. You know, it's just like, this is
what we're going to do to make it happen. I
love that on fine night.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
How much do you feed off having a live audience
and the bigger the audience, the better it feels for
you or do you just block all of that out?
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Is it part of your energy?
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
That's a bloody great for next week.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
We get on And actually for me, I often like
having the odds stacked stacked against me.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
I like being the underdog.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
Like I said before, if I managed to get that
fight against our our needle.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Inserting friend, I would have really liked that because what
do you what do you wait? Ninety two kilos ninety
I'm walking arond about ninety three and haety three, you'd.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Be over one hundred.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Because I talk about you talked about bidding. I'm in
charge of our bidding. So I bet it on behalf
of us with the t a B. I bet on
Italy and France never draw. On the soccer, Italy won
three three one. I bet on the All Blecks to
beat South Africa. I bet on Addie Severe to score
a try. We didn't score any tries. Used to be
to Argentina, No, I didn't was that available? I mean,
(23:25):
so I've got a different betting strategy. I'm betting on
people I don't think that will win and hoping that
every now and then it pays off.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Chance of wanting any money.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Well, I see when I go to bed and what do.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
You what are the I don't know, I actually don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm probably Yeah. I watch pulp Fiction the day again.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, how many times you watched it? I watched it
with you at the World Cup and you were molding
the dialogue. Well you know, off my half. Yeah, it
was not.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I think I think I could. I think I could
go toe to toe with you actually with fection.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, well watch with the watch and.
Speaker 13 (23:59):
You've got my favorite bedside tables on the Kangaroo exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Bring back to the boxing. We always asked this question
of a boxer.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Funny if you say that because we bring out bring
must be somewhere were.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Talking about arrogant being a pain in the.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
But the you know the classic that you know you're
a boxers, boxer, boxer as opposed to the slugger.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Right, so he's your favorite boxer from the past.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
In the past.
Speaker 13 (24:33):
My first my first idol was Sugary Robinson. He was
like my guy, and then sugar A Leonards. Like I said,
back to the Sugar, I was going to be the
candy man. I had too many, too many teeth about
the Eagle, Eddie the Eagle, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Hold on he was What about marvelous Marvin? I mean
he won that fight for me.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I watched it.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
I watched it a few times and I always got
it to Shgar Leonard.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
However, may I may be biased, I just love his
I've always kind of looked at.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
That I mentioned we mentioned the Eagle. I was trying
to throw to a track about it.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You need some help?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, can you punch him in the face? That would help?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Hy You guys so aggressive because Sae.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Just calm down, don't be racist, please.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
So we had the Eagle was on our show like
one of the great head and wow, I plan for
you now. But you can't hear them, so it doesn't
quite work, but it works with the people listening on
podcasts and stuff like that.
Speaker 15 (25:33):
My my personal best know is about one hundred and
nineteen and a half meters, which would easily.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Qualify me for So you're actually quite good.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, I'm getting better. I want realize you're quite good.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Well.
Speaker 15 (25:44):
Yeah from Calgary, I only did seventy two and now
I'm doing one hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yes, I'm getting a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
What do you do to get motivated before the big jump?
I mean, we know we've all heard as you have
no doubt of Michael Flatley's relief of tension prior to
dancing with the ladies. Yeah, what do you do to
build yourself into the frenzy required to jump one hundred
and nineteen point five meters?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Pray?
Speaker 15 (26:07):
I just pray, pray that I'll land on my feet
and I'll walk away from it.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
But you've been drinking beer.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I've seen it, so yeah, God fearing.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
When you're started, didn't you used to practice at your
mum's plice? Yes, I used to practice off the chester
drawers and then I went to.
Speaker 15 (26:25):
The wardrobe and so I jumped off the garage and
then off the roof, and then I just carried on
with your skis or just well sometimes with and sometimes
I actually started with alpine skiing and I used to
jump over my friends and I started jumping over a
couple of cars and people, and then I thought I'd
go at the Nordic Jumping.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And you put your success down to good locks and
what absolutely what would what would you have done if
you win't so charming?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 15 (26:53):
I'd probably come to fifty eighth, but I probably wouldn't
have become a ide.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Major achievements was having a number two hit in Finland, Yes, yes,
in Finnish.
Speaker 15 (27:02):
In finish in Finish, yeah, yeah, it went monim only
on air to Maki Kotka and then Sam.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Mason what is her name?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I don't know, I don't know. Nobody nobody actually told
me what the transform.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
So what I was asking for is when when you've
got a live audience, do you react to the live
audience is that do you feed off that or do
you just get into a zone where you block all
of that out by the time you're about to go
into the ring.
Speaker 13 (27:42):
I think there's a time and a place, and especially
in professional boxing, you're you're there to please the crowd.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Uh, And.
Speaker 13 (27:50):
For me, I'll probably try not to get to worked
up by the crowd because obviously being being the main event,
being the hometown guy, that could be that could be detrimental.
But I'm just going to try focus on the bloke
in front of me, because folk on what everyone else
is doing.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
My attention is going to But you know, like saying,
how much do you visualize the fight beforehand? Because it's
that old saying you have a plan in your head.
It works well until you get you.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Know it's true, but.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You know what I mean. So you can got ship,
I reckon by the eight, but I can buy this round.
I can take them kind of thing and take them
deep water. You know, how much do you visualize that,
especially now you've got a new fighter.
Speaker 13 (28:34):
I think over over analyzing any fighter as a mistake.
I think focusing on.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
What you do well is probably the best way to
kind of approach in the.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
First round, you're definitely just feeling them out kind of thing.
Speaker 13 (28:46):
Yeah, unless unless something presents itself like it like all
fighters say, we don't get paid over time.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
It's like, if you can get them out of there early,
you know, I would actually incentivize.
Speaker 13 (28:58):
The promoters to you know, if you if you have
a fighter that you don't think is going to incentivize
them to go the latter and say, well, if you
can make it past us in the rounds, you know,
we'll give you a little but a little extra, you know, because.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm expecting this guy to be tough. He's he's fought
the best of the best.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
He's he's had three three shots.
Speaker 13 (29:19):
Yeah he said three shots at formal world title, World
World champions and he's beaten one of the three actually
one of my favorite boxes at the time. So he
succeeded where my previous opponent.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Failed to say, you're not taking him.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
That's I have every intention of demolishing him. But like
you say, you have to have a healthy respect for.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
Anyone in the ring because everyone has has a plan
until they get punched in the face.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
And old man was a boxing befree. When I grab
a NEPA so I used to get dragged on for
these you know, watch these you know, upper heart versus
welling and boxing association things. But and he met Muhammad
Ali and he's having a leak beside Muhammad Ali, and
which was a magic moment. Imagine, I mean, how calls that?
(30:07):
And he sort of froze from ament then thoughtball, like
I'm with the champ. I can asking a question. He said, mate,
when you get whacked, what do you think? He said,
that's it. I'm just so chill and I'm relaxed. And
I compute that that was the most astounding thing because
if I whacked you, you get really angry, right because
you're Italian and you've got a temper issue and we
(30:29):
can talk about that and we're going to you know,
but when you get whacked, is that adrenaline, that natural
instinct to fight back?
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I think.
Speaker 13 (30:41):
I think every time that I've seen red, it's been
a mistake, you know what I mean, Like as soon
as you lose your call, like I've been I haven't
hit below the belt. I've been head butted. I've actually
been bitten twice one time. I cheer to get check
checked up by our stuff because.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah, but the time is.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Actually, there's more germs in a human mouth and a
dog's mouth.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I've heard that, and I just noticed we've all just
brushed over the fact that your dad chose being in
the urine or next to Mamadi is the time to
have a chat. Like you just wait till he finishes,
like I would.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
I would try slow down, I try to pinch it
a little bit so.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Like you know, this was my dad, not me, Mate
ninety three, as you know, I organized it. Yeah, oh
you're a champion, mate, thank you so much, two heroes
of my life and Nelson Mandela got it lucky enough
to meet them.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Both as well, and some boxing as well.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, we're back in Robin, Ireland. Had to.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
We're talking about every week we try and get someone
these guys to send me something positive, you know, because
a lot of shows are really negative of having a
crack at people and stuff like that. We don't want
that to be you know, and what the show is positive.
I'm a bit frustrated because you dragged me down here
in the cargole to your sort of mate's place and
(32:11):
nothing's working, like it's the shambles.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So technical malfunction.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Lana sent me in a couple of clips. The first
one was sort of probably linked to Eddie the Eagle.
Actually really it was quite inspirational that we can play
the first clip. Look at this, this is this is
science that it's been This guy worked everything out. So yeah,
so he goes down this amazing sort of water slide,
picks up the right amount of pace, then he zips
(32:39):
over this left and lands in a tiny swing pool.
How good is that? That is something for the human
gamon ball to aim at. I think we should.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I think they need to get him to do that.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah. So for those of you listening to on the podcast,
he went down a water slide upper ramp and then
what one hundred and fifty ten, Yeah, at least over
sort of nothing, over some grassland.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
If he misses the polid and.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
There was a peddling poll it wasn't it was a
kid's Yeah, So I thought that was great. I really
appreciate it. The second piece, can we play the second clip,
which was just some nice kids going out fishing, a
little bit nervous and the fish jumps out of the
water and hits all three of them in their head
and they.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Said these are positive thing.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Well it was what's going through your head? Like, you're
not right?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
No?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Well, I mean you guys, you introduced fish, and especially live.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Fish, to the show.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
So you're sending us clips of other people's children getting
hit by fish if they were your own appriate.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I think the fish was the problem.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I can just bring back to the April six.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Obviously, you go, have you even been hit by fish? No?
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Definitely, not a live one.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
So fast forward. You know the fight, which you're going
to win.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Of course, you go that it's such a training cycle
with diets and all sort of stuff. You know, question
what happens after the fight?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Saturday? You what how much time you have a few weeks?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
He's looking for another night out, it's going So.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
I was actually asking the promoters of there was an
after party, but I didn't click that.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
I won't be fighting any earlier than eleven PM. So
by the time that's.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Perfect for me.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
Yeah, by the time I'm finished, I see all my
friends and they are going to be.
Speaker 13 (34:35):
Absolutely snatched, and I'm probably gonna how can you see it?
Speaker 3 (34:40):
After heavyweight? If you're six foot three two six four
six six four, okay, and ninety two. I mean, you've
got you've got to bulk up to what one hundred
and fifteen, and then you're fighting guys I.
Speaker 13 (34:50):
Started, I started this camp at ninety eight killers, so
it's like, okay, and.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
I could have keiped that weight on.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
So what's your natural weight?
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Hundred now about ninety ninety eight?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Ninety eight?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yeah, what's your natural weight?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Late nineties?
Speaker 14 (35:05):
I want to not not in the late nineties, Like
I think I was one hundred and one point eight
the other day one hundred and two point six.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
That were fighting at one hundred, and they were big
here with now you've got these it's just giants, giants.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Giants every show. But steroids.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
Is it something that everyone gets tested with regularly?
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Is it prolific in the industry or I think I
think boxing probably is especially bad.
Speaker 13 (35:39):
Like through all through the Olympics, I was on like
a strict whereabouts lists, so I don't think I ever
took my name off it so they can turn up
whenever they like. But yeah, you signed like a just
about every bout you sign a voluntary anti doping contract
so that they can just turn off at.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Like six in the morning, which is I mean it's
got a few would you ever do it? Like if
you got off at a massive.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Finishing question?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Sorry, it's okay, I apologize, you go with my apologies.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Just nothing better than an awkward silence of the show.
Someone going to ask a question, was yours? Go for it?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:30):
I just god, is he always this disruptive?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:40):
Seriously?
Speaker 7 (36:40):
Got three grand children and this is like having all
of them back in there with.
Speaker 3 (36:45):
Adhd treads.
Speaker 5 (36:47):
It's like the whole lot and now you're in that
and now you're in like the man pass and we've
been locked in size the door out there. I didn't
know where we were going.
Speaker 2 (36:56):
Both we're going to have to, like you know, men
and black put that things so you never remember where
this is.
Speaker 4 (37:01):
No.
Speaker 12 (37:02):
Yeah, cheap, Yeah, just seems like the kind of place
should get rufy. Someone's gonna should say.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
If you wanted that.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Looks on the board.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
It's one of those things that it's about eighty back
for that.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I do want to apologize because we've had a lot
of technical problems and tonight show because we've come to
a new BN new and trying to will a whole
lot of new things, and as a producer I take
a lot of responsibility for the technical side, and one
of the things I like to apologize to these three
is we want the sports Cafe on on ice on ice.
Speaker 5 (37:45):
Yeah, like doesn'tye we went from from I don't think
that's my bad.
Speaker 3 (37:57):
Don't tell any Disney on a lot.
Speaker 6 (38:00):
More like.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
We'd have a look at it. So just to everyone
in the straight and rror, lady, welcome to the Lindrary
Sports Cafe.
Speaker 3 (38:32):
H re has been practicing all day.
Speaker 7 (38:37):
Just to let you know that everyone else get invited
here five minutes before the show tonight, giving.
Speaker 5 (38:41):
Given a pair of boots and the old girls.
Speaker 3 (38:43):
I'll like.
Speaker 5 (38:49):
Relationship chip.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
Chiumph and we are.
Speaker 12 (39:03):
We are jib.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Chiumph and we.
Speaker 2 (39:10):
We are chium and I'm a rugby union.
Speaker 11 (39:18):
Playing musicians.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Stuff.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
So just a better background on that wreck.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
We had to go on on tour and go on
ice because for legal reasons were even liquidated or something.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yeah, so we had the bar we used to do
the show and then we almost have money on the bar.
They shut they shut that down, so we had no
way to do the show for about eight weeks, and
so my job was to come up with a new
idea and I thought it would be a great idea
to do the show on ice.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Was that like a plow on words of like being liquidated.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Twenty years late to work it out?
Speaker 3 (39:52):
But takes the guys.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah, it wasn't a great idea. So the reason I
played that was to apologize to you guys, thanks for
dragging you to the ice rates skating rink out there
out in East Auckland. I'm sorry because I thought it
was a great idea and TV. Yeah it was as
low as you get.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Now he's dragged you to his den safe.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, we jumped.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
You.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
You spent a lot of time in Queensland, obviously.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
Do you live there? Yes, yes I live.
Speaker 13 (40:22):
I live in a little royal town called Gatton, a
town of about eight thousand people. But there's probably more
brown snaked out there, which is like, so why do
you live there? My coach lives out there, trains up there.
I'm dating his daughter. You guys will probably get a
kick out of that.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
I've met her, you've met her, lovely, lovely way.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
No, no, we were together then?
Speaker 5 (40:44):
Yeah, yeah, we've got a photo together.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
And it must be had dating your coaches.
Speaker 13 (40:49):
But it's actually it's actually really easy like you'd probably
be surprised. But I've kind of got everything everything I
need in a very small, small.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
Kind particularly difficult to coach to date the coach's daughter.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Difficult.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Well, I'm just trying to be complement quite a smooth dude.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
No, I wasn't talking about that specific question, just in general.
What are you talking about? I've got no idea, but
the whole show.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I've never had no idea. You asked me to come
in your show. I've never known what I'm talking about.
But you want me here. I'm here. You know if
you don't want me, no.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
No, I want you here. But I just like to
know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Okay, yeah, that's good. Never had me, Okay, thank you.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (41:42):
The Australian brown? That's that the most dangerous thinking one?
Speaker 13 (41:47):
I think it's I think to be second after back
number No, the coastal type, which is also Australia.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
What about cheese? Do you like cheese? I think?
Speaker 5 (41:59):
Really left? I hope so.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
He's just you know, it's such a sulky little bove it.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
You know, was a weight loss this week for you?
As you're not changes me.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I'm coming.
Speaker 13 (42:10):
My way has been coming down gradually, which is nice,
so I won't have to do too much sweating. But
in the last kind of twenty four hours, I'll probably
jump in the sauna.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Ye that literally what the sweating is. It's a sauna thing.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
Or yeah, I think I think I'll.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Use the sauna.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
How long have we had to go? Oh? You want
me back?
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Now?
Speaker 5 (42:30):
Can you guys kiss and make up?
Speaker 3 (42:31):
This is so awkward, shouldn't it shouldn't be you know, well,
it's good to have me make it back.
Speaker 2 (42:37):
Welcome back. And that's the end of the show. Thank
you very much, Thank you.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
Hell i'd like to thank my Nuco doctor.
Speaker 5 (42:44):
Of course, you guys, and.
Speaker 2 (42:49):
Just play the titles please,
This is an iHeartRadio New Zealand podcast.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
We rolling.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
I've got anything.
Speaker 2 (00:22):
That We've selected a location that's got a bar and
behind with actual alcohol.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I do you think I want to stand up here?
Speaker 2 (00:28):
Instead of that?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
I believe you found the budget to get us in Voicago.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
In the secret location. You got budget to get us back.
(00:58):
All right, welcome to the T A B. Sports Cafe
is and we're the new secret location, which is not
that secret because when you were.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
It was Yeah, the cargo to find is it? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Now I've written some stuff down this week. Are you
comfortable standing up?
Speaker 3 (01:15):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Yeah, I like it. I'm just saying it was We've
got it, We've written stuff down.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:19):
We would have keeped the kind of relaxed kind of
eyes we've had going in to This could be going
to your.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
Head a bit. I think the show when you get
a bit older, you tend to forget things.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Right, so it's quite you're over complicating it.
Speaker 2 (01:29):
So Tasman Rampley Shield victory. Did you watch that? Do
you want me to tell you what happened?
Speaker 5 (01:39):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (01:39):
Yeah, Tasman won the Rampley Shield. It was magnificent for
the first time, first first time ever yeah, beating Hawks
Bay last minute kicked from about forty five to fifty
meters out through the past.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
So the ram Fildy shields now in the second vision.
Speaker 2 (01:53):
No Tess been one of the top teams in the
first vision. Really yeah, so we won't be doing the
show and Tasman for a while because you don't last.
So the Paralympics obviously coming to any end. Ana Grimaldi
won a gold medal form New Zealand, which was incredible,
and the the in the two hundred meters after a
tough time in the long jump. The couple of things.
(02:13):
There's a volleyball player that plays for Iran, and what
Iran did is they went out and found the second
tallest man in the world, eight foot one.
Speaker 5 (02:24):
In the world, or just in the world.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Where they found them. They found them in the Ran,
not on.
Speaker 3 (02:30):
One of the nuclear power stations in China, China. Yeah, yeah,
but that doesn't matter on me.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah. So, and he's eight for one and he's in
the Paralympic because he had an accent with his legs
and so they seeks I think it was on a bike.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
Did he lose both legs and now he's like six
ft one.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Because he had extensions on the.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
No, you're not quite following.
Speaker 3 (02:56):
Me, not quite one. Can you just stand there and
put your hand over the bathroom you be able to
except or the ball. It doesn't matter if you could
do one. There's no you've been paid thousands and millions
of dollars there.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
And what he's doing in the body ruined basketball, except
he's playing volleyball.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
I don't think they're a great advantage with yeah, spike,
if you don't have to be agile to stand under
a basketball who you just cover the cup, right, But
in volleyball, surely you've got to move await, which might
be hard for bad legs. And you see they have
bad legs.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
A beach.
Speaker 2 (03:29):
No, it's not beach. I'm not talking to anyone anymore
like you did anyone try to see this.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
That's why he's eight for one. He's got these big
he's stilts.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
It's just.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
Why, well, that's what we said right at the beginning.
Speaker 5 (03:49):
We could all be taller.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
At least you're wanting watch against South Africa. Yeah, m hmmm.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
No, I read in the paper, and therefore I just
sort of fast forward through the shorter of British version
of it. It's a good result, it's a good way
to watch it.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
Yeah, yeah, I'll do things different.
Speaker 4 (04:08):
I think I mentioned that if if I was involved,
I don't know what i'd do different.
Speaker 1 (04:12):
But if I do, think i'd change.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
It around, change everything around. Why not? Yeah, but you
don't know what those specifics on that.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
In the backs and the forwards.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
No kick, I would say, no kicking. I'll bring back
griz Wi.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Right. So when I'm asking you what we should be doing,
I'm not really going to get much scene. Would I do?
Speaker 5 (04:31):
What's one thing that you would do?
Speaker 2 (04:32):
The first thing I would do was I'd ask Eric
Rush Russia. Can you hear us?
Speaker 6 (04:38):
You know, yeah, I can hear it.
Speaker 5 (04:39):
What would you do, Eric?
Speaker 7 (04:40):
What would you do if you could change one thing
about the or Blacks the currently?
Speaker 2 (04:44):
I didn't hear that. What would you do to to
help the All Blacks beat Outday beat South Africa?
Speaker 1 (04:50):
Jees?
Speaker 3 (04:51):
That's a play them at home?
Speaker 2 (04:52):
That might help in New Zealand.
Speaker 8 (04:55):
Yeah, it's pretty tough over there making those what ofs
like playing Alice Park. It's a bit of a bit
of a cauldron. So but the great thing about is
is a half about a four pack at twenty three
years old, and the had that experience now, so they
let him get better.
Speaker 3 (05:08):
It was always better playing in Capetown, wasn't it. I
mean certainly after the definitely.
Speaker 2 (05:18):
Which is where the last game was.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
We just lost, sure, But all I'm saying is I
reckon they had a much better time after they would
have been Johannesburg, which is a bit of a ship's
what they go out, but cap down on the other end, right,
So it's.
Speaker 7 (05:30):
Just a bit of an experience. Is that what you're saying.
They just need a little bit more mature.
Speaker 9 (05:35):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (05:35):
Yeah, well that the bomb score or whatever they call them.
When they come on, they tend to shut the games
down really well because they've you know, some of them
played one hundred chests and then we got young, young,
bloody guys coming off the bench with five chests.
Speaker 2 (05:49):
You know this, this is going to be a difference.
What do you think of because you've coached to by
like I thought he was outstanding. What do you think.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
I didn't hear that you either, mate? This is a
fucking shambles, right, give signed languaging one another.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Station. Look, you come to a new venue and we've
got a few technical erarors and I'm trying to work
through it.
Speaker 3 (06:14):
Yeah, okay, good, I'm glad you run it all down.
Speaker 2 (06:16):
You can hit it just anyway, Rushie yo. What did
you think of two boa as game?
Speaker 4 (06:23):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (06:24):
Yeah, yeah, no, he was He was excellent, mate, bloody,
he was leading the peck and like he's only twenty three.
Speaker 8 (06:30):
Mat I actually coached him as a kid out of
his tommokies, so he's not a bit, not a big player.
And when you get guys like that with a bit
of experience and just going to get better, So.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
You can hear that, you can't fucking hear Eric, That's
the point I'm trying to make.
Speaker 2 (06:45):
That's what I'm trying to say to you is a
post production.
Speaker 3 (06:47):
I can hear you. You shout, I can't hear Eric.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
I'm shouting because you're just blowing the trump in my
ear and I can't hear myself.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
That's a point I'm trying to make.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Pot Thank you, Sorry, Eric, carry on.
Speaker 5 (07:01):
You know he played well paid really well.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Oh that was the answer. He played well.
Speaker 3 (07:05):
You can you fucking lip reading?
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Did he say lip reading? Yeah? Yeah, I can.
Speaker 1 (07:10):
I can error.
Speaker 3 (07:10):
Marry Joe coming on soon.
Speaker 1 (07:13):
This is this is twenty twenty four fact. I mean
we should be able to talk to someone on the laptop.
Speaker 2 (07:18):
Yeah, we can, but if we tune them up, then
he feeds back into a microphone.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
How do all the other podcasts will do it?
Speaker 2 (07:23):
Well, they use the system that's not working for us.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
Okay, what's the what's the issue when that's not scoring
a point in the last twenty minutes?
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Last four games?
Speaker 2 (07:32):
There? Yeah, Eric, what's the position we're not scoring any
points in the last twenty minutes?
Speaker 3 (07:37):
Yeah, yeah, that's a great point.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
Good question, was it? That was my question, Eric, that
was my question.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It's my question.
Speaker 6 (07:44):
We just leave one of them again, you know, it's
just young guys just haven't been in their pressure before,
I guess.
Speaker 3 (07:51):
And you can't just one guy to do it.
Speaker 10 (07:53):
It's going to be a whole team.
Speaker 3 (07:54):
Hey, Rushie, don't get too profile, Like, can you just
move back from the camera. I can see his nose and.
Speaker 2 (08:02):
That's probably all you can see.
Speaker 3 (08:03):
Now I'll move back. That's better.
Speaker 2 (08:06):
It's better. Now. Are you playing the Classics are playing
up in funger Ray on the weekend?
Speaker 6 (08:11):
Yeah that's right, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'm actually a touch judge.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
My brothers the head of the referees up here.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
So me and Home are the touch judges.
Speaker 6 (08:18):
So they they said, oh do you want to jump
on at the end, And then I saw a few
of the names, and I saw John R.
Speaker 2 (08:24):
Four and guys who just finished plane as a hell,
now I'm not getting up. Did you hear any of that?
Speaker 3 (08:31):
I had it. It was good stuff, good stuff.
Speaker 2 (08:34):
Good. I'll let you go and I'll just come down
next time.
Speaker 3 (08:38):
It might be easiers.
Speaker 2 (08:41):
A long way from fung Ay to the cargo though. Okay,
see you guys.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Good point.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
I'm all in fame of getting guess actually into the
studio from camp.
Speaker 1 (08:49):
Have you any any lined up?
Speaker 5 (08:51):
You know that we have a big studio.
Speaker 1 (08:52):
It makes sense really that was the reason.
Speaker 2 (08:54):
Like we've had some technical issues because we've moved to
a new studio. I put a lot of work into
this and that just didn't work us.
Speaker 4 (09:01):
Yes, behind the scenes and people are seeing it. You know,
you didn't see Michaelangelo painting the chapel.
Speaker 2 (09:12):
Chapels, right, So talking about South Africa, which we did
at some stage, you guys were invited to go with
our security guards to go camping overnight.
Speaker 3 (09:24):
Oh that's many moments ago Russia was there. It was
all of dirty dirties, like am I sclearing No, that's good, I'll.
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Show the footage, which is fine, it said, not so
good for people on the podcast. So this is the
dirty diuties and you're blacks being taken away by the
security guards and showing how the fire machine guns and
hand grenades. Who's got the machine gun?
Speaker 11 (09:47):
Then the padder gets it. Firing machine gun can be
lots of fun. But there's always the thought in the
back of the mind that says, in South Africa, they
don't carry guns just to play with. And even more
sobering thought was that similar weapons were being carried by
the team security every minute of the tour.
Speaker 8 (10:06):
Some animals, you know, most of the guys going, you're
gonna take rifles in it.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
I'm gonna take a pocket nice you know you meet
up with you guys back here.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
I don't need a lot either.
Speaker 11 (10:20):
Fortunately, no one was a bad enough shot to need
a machine gun to hunt some spring bark.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
You're pretty awesome with that machine guns.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
To tell you what that Peeddican is did Noe's gonna
throw anything that we shot at.
Speaker 11 (10:35):
The dead And if the paddock thought the punishment was over.
There was still time for a hand grenade or two
for breakfast. Or you can throw it and you throw
it like I just chuck it over and you look
where you're throwing it.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
Most important things. You're standing and you throw yourn and
you aimed it.
Speaker 5 (10:53):
Something you throw that you see, okay, standing in the
deck and then you go down.
Speaker 2 (10:57):
You're gonna ever go to real grenadia.
Speaker 10 (10:59):
That's while we're on on the.
Speaker 11 (11:00):
Deck and we're playing there.
Speaker 12 (11:03):
You tried to fred the pin and drop the gannadi
on the side the ground.
Speaker 2 (11:18):
Visual bomb squad came from him. Yeah, this is where
the bomb squad. This is the black bomb Squad ninety two.
Speaker 3 (11:22):
So we ended up around that campfire right and this big,
big yarp. He was about seven, the same size as
Mark Coxwley. They were almost doing a standoff and he said, no, no,
that's Mark Coxey. Looks like Uncanny was in.
Speaker 2 (11:35):
Looks incredible, isn't it.
Speaker 3 (11:36):
He said, you know, you boys, have you ever seen
one of this? And when he said what's that? And
he said it's called a torpede? And we're at varsity
and so he goes crack and drinks this can of
beer with a hole in it, said, no ship, never
seen one of in my life.
Speaker 2 (11:51):
Give us a crack.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
And about half the time and he was just so
offended that he said, oh no, no, this is this
is not the right. It must have been a mistake.
I'm telling you, we must do it again. And so
he kept on doing it, and he kept on going
and going, and every three beers crews around the corner,
go reat limply the old neck come back and just
keep on going. And in the end he went to
bigger cans because he was self ended. And then that
(12:15):
very far that you saw, about an hour and a
half after that shot, he just gave the old timber
and just fucking bo under the embers. It was the
most magnificent moment.
Speaker 2 (12:25):
Do you want to introduce our guest.
Speaker 1 (12:27):
I love to.
Speaker 3 (12:29):
One of New Zealand's greatest boxes, probably the prettiest boxer
in New Zealand, David la The whole couch can lie.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
Nothing but the catch.
Speaker 5 (12:47):
What that can I bring? Can I show this to
you guys? I'm thinking I was watching you.
Speaker 13 (12:52):
Guys before you probably could this chap more so you
could probably he put the bears to the sign and
we've got some beautiful, monooka, honey, this is what Joe was.
Speaker 1 (13:02):
Going on about.
Speaker 5 (13:03):
Yes, yeah, he said, he said that he had promised
you a couple of cases.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Oh yeah, beautiful.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
Do you do the same thing with training and you
use the same thing you put it?
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Use it for everything.
Speaker 13 (13:13):
This is so when I was fourteen years old, when
I first started boxing, I wanted to call myself the
candy man because I'd spend all my pocket.
Speaker 5 (13:20):
Money at the dairy.
Speaker 13 (13:22):
Any amount of money I ever made, my currency was
how many two dollars mixes I could buy it the dairy.
Speaker 3 (13:28):
So it's it's the same childhood when you pinched like
twenty cents out of a book bottle, beautifully.
Speaker 2 (13:34):
It was like, would you one of those kids who
used to steal money at the book bottle? No?
Speaker 3 (13:37):
But I had friends who did it, you know. I
was accountlis got a couple.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
Of you called the Handymann.
Speaker 3 (13:44):
Well, any other reasons?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
What was he called the handyman?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Well that was my message name, shut up?
Speaker 5 (13:52):
Long story short.
Speaker 13 (13:54):
Yeah, eight fillings later and probably three or four teeth later,
I've kind of come around to getting more and more
natural source of sugar.
Speaker 2 (14:02):
So what was what was really good? As hell, subtlely
you introduced the sponsor.
Speaker 13 (14:08):
I thought we were going to get a cut show chambles.
Speaker 2 (14:16):
So what's the story with your fight? Like, like, you
don't mind if I'm talking about boxing or you just
want to carry on before you get it.
Speaker 1 (14:21):
You know, Dave and I go back a long way.
We've been out a couple of times. You know what
I mean. You're not in training. We've we've had a
couple of names. It's a good time. I just wanted
to get Yeah, that's great, no questions.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
I'm sped.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
You don't need a name.
Speaker 2 (14:34):
Can you give us some detail?
Speaker 1 (14:36):
Jumping myself, but it's none of them, just anyone else's.
Speaker 3 (14:43):
Credentials.
Speaker 14 (14:45):
Why did you bring it up with it the notes?
Speaker 2 (14:49):
Because you were to to fight someone and then now
you're not fighting them anymore. What's going on?
Speaker 13 (14:53):
Yes, So my original opponent, Blake Capparello, tested positive about
six weeks ago for exogynist testosterone, so we basically had
to find a replacement real quick.
Speaker 5 (15:05):
We were trying to get the fight still happen.
Speaker 2 (15:07):
So who are you fighting now?
Speaker 13 (15:08):
So we've got a replacement from from the States. His
name is Tommy Carpentcy. It's a similar build, some same stance,
same age, hopefully not on the juice. But we were
actually pretty happy to take the fight as it was
because he was, in my mind, a more credible opponent.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
But but how do you change because you've been spending
all this time ready for one opponent and then suddenly
you've got a few days to sort of look at
his flight footage and go right, how does he fight?
How do I change? That's that's boxing.
Speaker 4 (15:35):
I guess It's like, unless he was a Southport or something,
he's still.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
A south boy, so they're both south Warce. Yes, that
was the question I had is how do you train
for a Southport if they come up like a left
hand bowler and cricket, you know, left on legs for
for example, very rare? How do you train for them
if they're only twenty percent of your opponent?
Speaker 5 (16:00):
Oh? Yeah, no, no, good question, actually, so had I've had.
Speaker 13 (16:04):
There are a lot more left hand fighters overseas, which
I don't know statistically why that is, but I've fought
probably fifteen to twenty south well.
Speaker 5 (16:14):
So obviously just getting your reps and I think can you.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Find enough to spa with to get work with decent workout.
Speaker 2 (16:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 13 (16:19):
Yeah, I've We've got a whole bunch of bunch of
different spying planners that we can work with in Queensland,
which is where I'm living now, and.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
They're all high level.
Speaker 13 (16:29):
We've actually got like an abundance of really high quality
fighters in this corner of the earth. So really cool
to be able to put a show on in New
Zealand with this caliber of fighters. And this is actually
the first fight that's being streamed on the biggest global
boxing platform form design, which is called daz n dot com.
(16:51):
And this is basically the start of a whole new
era of boxing and to be spear hitting that is
pretty frequent.
Speaker 3 (17:00):
And I've been a member of that for a couple
of years because I love Canelo over is.
Speaker 5 (17:04):
Yeah, he's like my fav You'll be able to see them.
Speaker 3 (17:08):
Yeah yeah, you get behind the scenes, you get all
that access. It's so so.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
I've got my own profile on there, yeah, finding out
boxing and you have seen all sort of stuff sort
of leading the way, isn't it with this sort of
kind of paper view and contents and stuff your bed.
I don't want to mention other sports, but you know,
you find that it seems to be the way, don't it.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Yeah, well it's it's an ever ever changing landscape, you know.
So we've got to we've got to go global. I've
got to go digital.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Sorry, it's all got.
Speaker 3 (17:34):
To go online.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Where's this? Hold on? Shut up?
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Shut up, don't hold on? Hold on my children?
Speaker 2 (17:43):
Shut up?
Speaker 5 (17:45):
Like where is your I'm finding at the Viaduct Event Center.
Speaker 13 (17:50):
However, I think out of the ninety tables there are
some like eighty eight sold. So if if you're lucky
enough to get to get in the door, you'll be
able to see it live.
Speaker 5 (18:00):
However, the only other way to watch it will be
on on the zone.
Speaker 2 (18:04):
So this fight, where is this lead to? For you?
Speaker 13 (18:07):
So this will get me into the top fifteen and
two different sanctioning bodies. So for like the layman, there
are four major belts that you can fight for.
Speaker 5 (18:15):
This will get me.
Speaker 13 (18:15):
Into the into the mix for two of those belts,
and the idea is you you get a world title
and then you unify, so ideally get all the belts.
So for me myself as a as a cruise weight,
I want to win all four cruiseweight titles and then
potentially move up to heavyweight, because I think I've got the.
Speaker 2 (18:34):
Like being a boxer. Obviously you've been punched in the
face a lot and we can all see that instead.
Is that awkward for you? You know, looking at the look.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
In the mirror that reminds me of a joke?
Speaker 2 (18:44):
Is it?
Speaker 5 (18:44):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (18:45):
The you know, the little girl goes in priest, right,
he goes in and they're doing chressman.
Speaker 2 (19:00):
Oh, you did tell this the other day, didn't I? Yeah,
But like I'm going to do this time?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
Can I ed it out?
Speaker 6 (19:09):
Anyhow?
Speaker 3 (19:09):
It doesn't matter Rosie goes in the priest.
Speaker 13 (19:15):
You guys are the godfathers of like political incorrectness and
sports and sports?
Speaker 4 (19:23):
What does this week look like? I'm building up to say,
the fight only well, you know, five days away. So
what what happens? What happens this week for you? How
much sort of training?
Speaker 1 (19:32):
Heavy trainings? What does it look like like?
Speaker 5 (19:35):
Well, this seems like a bit of a waste of time.
I'm honest.
Speaker 2 (19:40):
We couldn't agree more.
Speaker 5 (19:43):
So. I had my last sparring session this morning and
then we have.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Hell are you now twenty nine? When do you get
this when in your schedule of things? Because clearly, being
as devoted and capable as you are, You've got a plan.
When are you fighting for that that title?
Speaker 13 (20:03):
I'd say in the next two years, I'd expect be
fighting for a world title. And if it comes sooner,
it comes sooner. But if it comes later, it comes later.
I'm not like a patient dude, but I've I've stuck
to the process and I've just trusted the process for
the last fifteen years and it's got me to where
I'm now. And now I've got an amazing team. I've
got Duco, I've got Thornbury Promotions. My coach, Nol Thornberry
(20:27):
has taken three of his small handful.
Speaker 5 (20:30):
Of boxes to a world title. So I feel very capable.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
I think the last fight I saw of yours was Olympics. Yeah,
and you got silver.
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Bronze bronze, yeah, the wrong color of gold.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
I remember the fight, and it was you were You
should have beaten them in a couple of years. If
you had a couple of years more, you would have.
But you're maybe just a bit loose by compared tos.
He was sort of technical in the South poys.
Speaker 13 (20:59):
You know, you can you can make as many excuses
as you like at the end of the day, I
didn't win, so but.
Speaker 3 (21:04):
I mean, do you learn more from your losses and
you wins?
Speaker 2 (21:07):
Oh?
Speaker 13 (21:07):
Absolutely, Yeah, my losses have been way more valuable than
my most of my wins. But obviously getting the getting
the cake at the end of the day is what
we're is what sends us into the stratus.
Speaker 2 (21:20):
Firms like not talk about cake because I tend to
get a little bit over excited when there's a lot
of cake talk.
Speaker 5 (21:24):
I love the cake.
Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah, so I obviously one of the things that you
made a point before Lee about half an hour ago,
Like I've just been listening to you talk. You're promoting yourself.
You're hungry. You want people to watch, you want people
to buy tables, you want people to support your sponsors.
That's why boxing does so well because you're not taking
it for granted that people are going to show up.
Speaker 1 (21:43):
It's a pretty honest sport in that way.
Speaker 2 (21:44):
Yeah, it always has been. It's always been a hustle sport.
It's always been a sport, you know, way back, It's
always been a sport where you're going I need to
work to get people to show up. I need work
because more people watch me, the more fights I'm going
to get because the more popular I am. So it's
a hustle sport.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
The keywis aren't brash or arrogant. They're articulate, they're well
put together, they're well thought through.
Speaker 5 (22:03):
You know.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
I love the humility of what you say. See in
combat sport in New Zealand at the moment, you know,
there's just a self belief determination. You know, plan is
how you're going to make it happen. But there's no
wankare and showers. You know, it's just like, this is
what we're going to do to make it happen. I
love that on fine night.
Speaker 7 (22:21):
How much do you feed off having a live audience
and the bigger the audience, the better it feels for
you or do you just block all of that out?
Speaker 5 (22:27):
Is it part of your energy?
Speaker 7 (22:29):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (22:29):
That's a bloody great for next week.
Speaker 13 (22:35):
We get on And actually for me, I often like
having the odds stacked stacked against me.
Speaker 5 (22:40):
I like being the underdog.
Speaker 13 (22:42):
Like I said before, if I managed to get that
fight against our our needle.
Speaker 9 (22:48):
Inserting friend, I would have really liked that because what
do you what do you wait? Ninety two kilos ninety
I'm walking arond about ninety three and haety three, you'd.
Speaker 3 (23:01):
Be over one hundred.
Speaker 2 (23:02):
Because I talk about you talked about bidding. I'm in
charge of our bidding. So I bet it on behalf
of us with the t a B. I bet on
Italy and France never draw. On the soccer, Italy won
three three one. I bet on the All Blecks to
beat South Africa. I bet on Addie Severe to score
a try. We didn't score any tries. Used to be
to Argentina, No, I didn't was that available? I mean,
(23:25):
so I've got a different betting strategy. I'm betting on
people I don't think that will win and hoping that
every now and then it pays off.
Speaker 3 (23:35):
Chance of wanting any money.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
Well, I see when I go to bed and what do.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
You what are the I don't know, I actually don't know.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
I'm probably Yeah. I watch pulp Fiction the day again.
Speaker 2 (23:45):
Yeah, how many times you watched it? I watched it
with you at the World Cup and you were molding
the dialogue. Well you know, off my half. Yeah, it
was not.
Speaker 5 (23:53):
I think I think I could. I think I could
go toe to toe with you actually with fection.
Speaker 3 (23:57):
Yeah, well watch with the watch and.
Speaker 13 (23:59):
You've got my favorite bedside tables on the Kangaroo exactly.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
Bring back to the boxing. We always asked this question
of a boxer.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Funny if you say that because we bring out bring
must be somewhere were.
Speaker 2 (24:20):
Talking about arrogant being a pain in the.
Speaker 4 (24:24):
But the you know the classic that you know you're
a boxers, boxer, boxer as opposed to the slugger.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
Right, so he's your favorite boxer from the past.
Speaker 3 (24:32):
In the past.
Speaker 13 (24:33):
My first my first idol was Sugary Robinson. He was
like my guy, and then sugar A Leonards. Like I said,
back to the Sugar, I was going to be the
candy man. I had too many, too many teeth about
the Eagle, Eddie the Eagle, Yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (24:50):
Hold on he was What about marvelous Marvin? I mean
he won that fight for me.
Speaker 2 (24:57):
I watched it.
Speaker 5 (24:57):
I watched it a few times and I always got
it to Shgar Leonard.
Speaker 13 (25:00):
However, may I may be biased, I just love his
I've always kind of looked at.
Speaker 2 (25:05):
That I mentioned we mentioned the Eagle. I was trying
to throw to a track about it.
Speaker 3 (25:10):
You need some help?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yeah, can you punch him in the face? That would help?
Speaker 3 (25:14):
Hy You guys so aggressive because Sae.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
Just calm down, don't be racist, please.
Speaker 2 (25:19):
So we had the Eagle was on our show like
one of the great head and wow, I plan for
you now. But you can't hear them, so it doesn't
quite work, but it works with the people listening on
podcasts and stuff like that.
Speaker 15 (25:33):
My my personal best know is about one hundred and
nineteen and a half meters, which would easily.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Qualify me for So you're actually quite good.
Speaker 2 (25:40):
Well, I'm getting better. I want realize you're quite good.
Speaker 8 (25:44):
Well.
Speaker 15 (25:44):
Yeah from Calgary, I only did seventy two and now
I'm doing one hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yes, I'm getting a little bit more.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
What do you do to get motivated before the big jump?
I mean, we know we've all heard as you have
no doubt of Michael Flatley's relief of tension prior to
dancing with the ladies. Yeah, what do you do to
build yourself into the frenzy required to jump one hundred
and nineteen point five meters?
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Pray?
Speaker 15 (26:07):
I just pray, pray that I'll land on my feet
and I'll walk away from it.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
But you've been drinking beer.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
I've seen it, so yeah, God fearing.
Speaker 3 (26:18):
No, I'm not.
Speaker 2 (26:20):
When you're started, didn't you used to practice at your
mum's plice? Yes, I used to practice off the chester
drawers and then I went to.
Speaker 15 (26:25):
The wardrobe and so I jumped off the garage and
then off the roof, and then I just carried on
with your skis or just well sometimes with and sometimes
I actually started with alpine skiing and I used to
jump over my friends and I started jumping over a
couple of cars and people, and then I thought I'd
go at the Nordic Jumping.
Speaker 3 (26:42):
And you put your success down to good locks and
what absolutely what would what would you have done if
you win't so charming?
Speaker 1 (26:53):
I don't know.
Speaker 15 (26:53):
I'd probably come to fifty eighth, but I probably wouldn't
have become a ide.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
Major achievements was having a number two hit in Finland, Yes, yes,
in Finnish.
Speaker 15 (27:02):
In finish in Finish, yeah, yeah, it went monim only
on air to Maki Kotka and then Sam.
Speaker 2 (27:12):
Mason what is her name?
Speaker 1 (27:17):
I don't know, I don't know. Nobody nobody actually told
me what the transform.
Speaker 7 (27:32):
So what I was asking for is when when you've
got a live audience, do you react to the live
audience is that do you feed off that or do
you just get into a zone where you block all
of that out by the time you're about to go
into the ring.
Speaker 13 (27:42):
I think there's a time and a place, and especially
in professional boxing, you're you're there to please the crowd.
Speaker 3 (27:48):
Uh, And.
Speaker 13 (27:50):
For me, I'll probably try not to get to worked
up by the crowd because obviously being being the main event,
being the hometown guy, that could be that could be detrimental.
But I'm just going to try focus on the bloke
in front of me, because folk on what everyone else
is doing.
Speaker 1 (28:07):
My attention is going to But you know, like saying,
how much do you visualize the fight beforehand? Because it's
that old saying you have a plan in your head.
It works well until you get you.
Speaker 2 (28:18):
Know it's true, but.
Speaker 1 (28:24):
You know what I mean. So you can got ship,
I reckon by the eight, but I can buy this round.
I can take them kind of thing and take them
deep water. You know, how much do you visualize that,
especially now you've got a new fighter.
Speaker 13 (28:34):
I think over over analyzing any fighter as a mistake.
I think focusing on.
Speaker 5 (28:40):
What you do well is probably the best way to
kind of approach in the.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
First round, you're definitely just feeling them out kind of thing.
Speaker 13 (28:46):
Yeah, unless unless something presents itself like it like all
fighters say, we don't get paid over time.
Speaker 5 (28:53):
It's like, if you can get them out of there early,
you know, I would actually incentivize.
Speaker 13 (28:58):
The promoters to you know, if you if you have
a fighter that you don't think is going to incentivize
them to go the latter and say, well, if you
can make it past us in the rounds, you know,
we'll give you a little but a little extra, you know, because.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
I'm expecting this guy to be tough. He's he's fought
the best of the best.
Speaker 1 (29:16):
He's he's had three three shots.
Speaker 13 (29:19):
Yeah he said three shots at formal world title, World
World champions and he's beaten one of the three actually
one of my favorite boxes at the time. So he
succeeded where my previous opponent.
Speaker 1 (29:33):
Failed to say, you're not taking him.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
That's I have every intention of demolishing him. But like
you say, you have to have a healthy respect for.
Speaker 13 (29:43):
Anyone in the ring because everyone has has a plan
until they get punched in the face.
Speaker 3 (29:47):
And old man was a boxing befree. When I grab
a NEPA so I used to get dragged on for
these you know, watch these you know, upper heart versus
welling and boxing association things. But and he met Muhammad
Ali and he's having a leak beside Muhammad Ali, and
which was a magic moment. Imagine, I mean, how calls that?
(30:07):
And he sort of froze from ament then thoughtball, like
I'm with the champ. I can asking a question. He said, mate,
when you get whacked, what do you think? He said,
that's it. I'm just so chill and I'm relaxed. And
I compute that that was the most astounding thing because
if I whacked you, you get really angry, right because
you're Italian and you've got a temper issue and we
(30:29):
can talk about that and we're going to you know,
but when you get whacked, is that adrenaline, that natural
instinct to fight back?
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I think.
Speaker 13 (30:41):
I think every time that I've seen red, it's been
a mistake, you know what I mean, Like as soon
as you lose your call, like I've been I haven't
hit below the belt. I've been head butted. I've actually
been bitten twice one time. I cheer to get check
checked up by our stuff because.
Speaker 5 (30:59):
Yeah, but the time is.
Speaker 3 (31:03):
Actually, there's more germs in a human mouth and a
dog's mouth.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
I've heard that.
Speaker 2 (31:07):
I've heard that, and I just noticed we've all just
brushed over the fact that your dad chose being in
the urine or next to Mamadi is the time to
have a chat. Like you just wait till he finishes,
like I would.
Speaker 5 (31:21):
I would try slow down, I try to pinch it
a little bit so.
Speaker 3 (31:25):
Like you know, this was my dad, not me, Mate
ninety three, as you know, I organized it. Yeah, oh
you're a champion, mate, thank you so much, two heroes
of my life and Nelson Mandela got it lucky enough
to meet them.
Speaker 1 (31:41):
Both as well, and some boxing as well.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Oh yeah, yeah, we're back in Robin, Ireland. Had to.
Speaker 2 (31:51):
We're talking about every week we try and get someone
these guys to send me something positive, you know, because
a lot of shows are really negative of having a
crack at people and stuff like that. We don't want
that to be you know, and what the show is positive.
I'm a bit frustrated because you dragged me down here
in the cargole to your sort of mate's place and
(32:11):
nothing's working, like it's the shambles.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
So technical malfunction.
Speaker 5 (32:15):
Yeah, so.
Speaker 2 (32:17):
Lana sent me in a couple of clips. The first
one was sort of probably linked to Eddie the Eagle.
Actually really it was quite inspirational that we can play
the first clip. Look at this, this is this is
science that it's been This guy worked everything out. So yeah,
so he goes down this amazing sort of water slide,
picks up the right amount of pace, then he zips
(32:39):
over this left and lands in a tiny swing pool.
How good is that? That is something for the human
gamon ball to aim at. I think we should.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
I think they need to get him to do that.
Speaker 2 (32:53):
Yeah. So for those of you listening to on the podcast,
he went down a water slide upper ramp and then
what one hundred and fifty ten, Yeah, at least over
sort of nothing, over some grassland.
Speaker 3 (33:05):
If he misses the polid and.
Speaker 2 (33:07):
There was a peddling poll it wasn't it was a
kid's Yeah, So I thought that was great. I really
appreciate it. The second piece, can we play the second clip,
which was just some nice kids going out fishing, a
little bit nervous and the fish jumps out of the
water and hits all three of them in their head
and they.
Speaker 5 (33:29):
Said these are positive thing.
Speaker 2 (33:30):
Well it was what's going through your head? Like, you're
not right?
Speaker 1 (33:34):
No?
Speaker 7 (33:34):
Well, I mean you guys, you introduced fish, and especially live.
Speaker 5 (33:39):
Fish, to the show.
Speaker 3 (33:40):
So you're sending us clips of other people's children getting
hit by fish if they were your own appriate.
Speaker 2 (33:45):
I think the fish was the problem.
Speaker 1 (33:47):
I can just bring back to the April six.
Speaker 2 (33:52):
Obviously, you go, have you even been hit by fish? No?
Speaker 5 (34:00):
Definitely, not a live one.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
So fast forward. You know the fight, which you're going
to win.
Speaker 4 (34:04):
Of course, you go that it's such a training cycle
with diets and all sort of stuff. You know, question
what happens after the fight?
Speaker 1 (34:12):
Saturday? You what how much time you have a few weeks?
Speaker 2 (34:16):
He's looking for another night out, it's going So.
Speaker 13 (34:22):
I was actually asking the promoters of there was an
after party, but I didn't click that.
Speaker 5 (34:27):
I won't be fighting any earlier than eleven PM. So
by the time that's.
Speaker 1 (34:31):
Perfect for me.
Speaker 5 (34:32):
Yeah, by the time I'm finished, I see all my
friends and they are going to be.
Speaker 13 (34:35):
Absolutely snatched, and I'm probably gonna how can you see it?
Speaker 3 (34:40):
After heavyweight? If you're six foot three two six four
six six four, okay, and ninety two. I mean, you've
got you've got to bulk up to what one hundred
and fifteen, and then you're fighting guys I.
Speaker 13 (34:50):
Started, I started this camp at ninety eight killers, so
it's like, okay, and.
Speaker 5 (34:55):
I could have keiped that weight on.
Speaker 3 (34:57):
So what's your natural weight?
Speaker 5 (34:58):
Hundred now about ninety ninety eight?
Speaker 2 (35:02):
Ninety eight?
Speaker 3 (35:02):
Yeah, what's your natural weight?
Speaker 2 (35:04):
Late nineties?
Speaker 14 (35:05):
I want to not not in the late nineties, Like
I think I was one hundred and one point eight
the other day one hundred and two point six.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
That were fighting at one hundred, and they were big
here with now you've got these it's just giants, giants.
Speaker 5 (35:26):
Giants every show. But steroids.
Speaker 7 (35:29):
Is it something that everyone gets tested with regularly?
Speaker 5 (35:32):
Is it prolific in the industry or I think I
think boxing probably is especially bad.
Speaker 13 (35:39):
Like through all through the Olympics, I was on like
a strict whereabouts lists, so I don't think I ever
took my name off it so they can turn up
whenever they like. But yeah, you signed like a just
about every bout you sign a voluntary anti doping contract
so that they can just turn off at.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
Like six in the morning, which is I mean it's
got a few would you ever do it? Like if
you got off at a massive.
Speaker 1 (36:06):
Finishing question?
Speaker 3 (36:07):
Sorry, it's okay, I apologize, you go with my apologies.
Speaker 1 (36:14):
That's fine.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
Just nothing better than an awkward silence of the show.
Someone going to ask a question, was yours? Go for it?
Speaker 1 (36:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (36:30):
I just god, is he always this disruptive?
Speaker 1 (36:39):
Yeah?

should get rufy. Someone's gonna should say.
Speaker 2 (37:17):
If you wanted that.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Looks on the board.
Speaker 3 (37:20):
It's one of those things that it's about eighty back
for that.
Speaker 2 (37:26):
I do want to apologize because we've had a lot
of technical problems and tonight show because we've come to
a new BN new and trying to will a whole
lot of new things, and as a producer I take
a lot of responsibility for the technical side, and one

Speaker 2 (39:10):
We are chium and I'm a rugby union.
Speaker 11 (39:18):
Playing musicians.
Speaker 4 (39:19):
Stuff.
Speaker 1 (39:22):
So just a better background on that wreck.
Speaker 4 (39:23):
We had to go on on tour and go on
ice because for legal reasons were even liquidated or something.
Speaker 2 (39:29):
Yeah, so we had the bar we used to do
the show and then we almost have money on the bar.
They shut they shut that down, so we had no
way to do the show for about eight weeks, and
so my job was to come up with a new
idea and I thought it would be a great idea
to do the show on ice.
Speaker 5 (39:43):
Was that like a plow on words of like being liquidated.
Speaker 2 (39:50):
Twenty years late to work it out?
Speaker 3 (39:52):
But takes the guys.
Speaker 2 (39:56):
Yeah, it wasn't a great idea. So the reason I
played that was to apologize to you guys, thanks for
dragging you to the ice rates skating rink out there
out in East Auckland. I'm sorry because I thought it
was a great idea and TV. Yeah it was as
low as you get.
Speaker 5 (40:11):
Now he's dragged you to his den safe.
Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeah, we jumped.
Speaker 3 (40:19):
You.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
You spent a lot of time in Queensland, obviously.
Speaker 5 (40:20):
Do you live there? Yes, yes I live.
Speaker 13 (40:22):
I live in a little royal town called Gatton, a
town of about eight thousand people. But there's probably more
brown snaked out there, which is like, so why do
you live there? My coach lives out there, trains up there.
I'm dating his daughter. You guys will probably get a
kick out of that.
Speaker 5 (40:37):
I've met her, you've met her, lovely, lovely way.
Speaker 1 (40:41):
No, no, we were together then?
Speaker 5 (40:44):
Yeah, yeah, we've got a photo together.
Speaker 1 (40:46):
And it must be had dating your coaches.
Speaker 13 (40:49):
But it's actually it's actually really easy like you'd probably
be surprised. But I've kind of got everything everything I
need in a very small, small.
Speaker 3 (40:58):
Kind particularly difficult to coach to date the coach's daughter.
Speaker 2 (41:04):
Difficult.
Speaker 3 (41:06):
Well, I'm just trying to be complement quite a smooth dude.
Speaker 2 (41:10):
No, I wasn't talking about that specific question, just in general.
What are you talking about? I've got no idea, but
the whole show.
Speaker 3 (41:16):
I've never had no idea. You asked me to come
in your show. I've never known what I'm talking about.
But you want me here. I'm here. You know if
you don't want me, no.
Speaker 2 (41:26):
No, I want you here. But I just like to
know what you're talking about.
Speaker 3 (41:29):
I'm not sure.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Okay, yeah, that's good. Never had me, Okay, thank you.
What are you talking about?
Speaker 1 (41:42):
The Australian brown? That's that the most dangerous thinking one?
Speaker 13 (41:47):
I think it's I think to be second after back
number No, the coastal type, which is also Australia.
Speaker 2 (41:56):
What about cheese? Do you like cheese? I think?
Speaker 5 (41:59):
Really left? I hope so.
Speaker 2 (42:01):
He's just you know, it's such a sulky little bove it.
Speaker 1 (42:04):
You know, was a weight loss this week for you?
As you're not changes me.
Speaker 2 (42:10):
I'm coming.
Speaker 13 (42:10):
My way has been coming down gradually, which is nice,
so I won't have to do too much sweating. But
in the last kind of twenty four hours, I'll probably
jump in the sauna.
Speaker 1 (42:18):
Ye that literally what the sweating is. It's a sauna thing.
Speaker 5 (42:21):
Or yeah, I think I think I'll.
Speaker 2 (42:23):
Use the sauna.
Speaker 3 (42:25):
How long have we had to go? Oh? You want
me back?
Speaker 2 (42:29):
Now?
Speaker 5 (42:30):

Speaker 3 (42:31):
This is so awkward, shouldn't it shouldn't be you know, well,
it's good to have me make it back.
