Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live from the Export Beer Addin's studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra of the Bear for Here. This
is the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the twenty ninth of July.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Next Sport Ultra.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Good morning, Lane. We'll get into the Olympics for shortly.
But I don't know if you heard. Heath and I
are talking about it on the podcast. Last week we
got onto talking about who's the greatest New Zealander of
all time?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh yeah, that's that's quite a broad topic.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
It came off the back of a voicemail that we
had and it was something that I thought that Matt
and Jerry would have done on this show. Paul ever
on a great New Zealander. Who is the greatest?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah? Who is the greatest?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Because people were talking last last week. Actually came off
the back of a meme that was going around saying
Lebron James is the greatest American of all time. Someone
had him over Abe Lincoln and I got asked, who
is the greatest New Zealander of all time? And I
feel like we need to We've got a lot of
messages on Instagram about it.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, a lot of votes for Richie.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I feel like we need to bust out another bracket
for this, like we did with the a SEC nicknames
last year.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Think we need to get your votes through sending voicemails.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
There's some interesting ones on this list.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This is just a little quick whip around that we
had in the office last week of some of the
some of the ones that we came.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
In Money who put pe money in the Greatest News
you p Money versus Scribe.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I feel like it would be quite a good, you know,
quite a good I Ring Van Dyke versus Benie Mini. Obviously,
we're going to have to boil this down. I think
last year we did sixty four in the bracket, which, yeah,
arguably too much.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah it was. It went on for quite some time,
So thirty two would probably be the go. Costable Keith
versus Sniff. Yeah, Constable Keith. I always thought he was.
There was the dog's name. Nah, nah, he was. Constable
Keith was the was the police officer Sniff as a
terrifying looking dog if you ah. It was like it
was like before puppetry became cute. It was like basically
(01:57):
a taxi dormy Alsatian with a loose jaw.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's exactly what it was. I just somebody sent me
a photo of it last week. I'm gonna try and
bring it up. But yeah, that's exactly what it looks like.
Here it is here taxi to me, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was a legit taxi.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
To mc dog were just a loose bottom jaw that
would go up and down.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And it's like, now, kids, what do you do if
a stranger jumps out of the bush and flashes you?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
What the fuck? I did not know that was an
option and to the state, never happened to me. We
used to work with comfortable Keith daughter Meghan Keith. Really
yeah she was. She was on radio for you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Keith this his last name, of course, that was I
thought that they were a comfortable dave. It's like I
thought they did that to make him a bit more approachable. Also,
where I'm from, you do know the police by first name. No,
it's Constable Keith's last name. Okay, okay, so Keith, this
is last night. Well we're learning a lot. See, this
(02:54):
is what it's important to have these debates, because the
one I was talking about last week was would you
have Joanah over id Hillary? And I think they know
about that. I think the only thing that holds Jonah
back is he didn't win a World Cup if we
won in ninety five.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
And he didn't climb the highest mountain in the world. No,
he didn't. He didn't. He didn't drive it. He didn't
drive a messy Ferguson to the South Pole either Lake
sirehn Hllary did. He didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
He didn't build schools in Nepal and then take all
the kids from the school down to the nearest flat
bit of earth and make them dance for a whole
day until it was flattened flat enough that a plane
could land in it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
But he did. Yeah, it did do that.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And that's why he's on the five dollar note. You
know Queen Beavers, Val Adams.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Magnus and Magnus Benra.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Can you put Magnus and Benra on the same thing
anyone outside of Auckland.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
No, Magnus and beinro It's a very Auckland TV store
appliance store, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I actually have only just found you telling me that.
Now I've only just figured out what they actually said
white ware.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
They just cracked me up.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
What are their names again? I was just talking about
them before.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Ah On and Adrian, they're definitely banging. I think they're married,
an't they are? They? Are? They not blowing your mind
this morning?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
A lot this morning. John and Adrian aren't married. Keith
is not his first name.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Hey, in the Briscoes Lady, it's a wig.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, I know it's a wig, but I don't think
a wig precludes you from being the greatest New Zealander
of all time. But you know she's going to come
up against some stuff, the big Saved lady versus the
Briscoes lad.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, Timmy is her name, Timmy? Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
But Gary from Big Gary's chip shop down there, RP.
Morton Courts, who figured out continuous fermentation for dB Breweries
back in the day.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
That's a global phenomenon that one know. The Finn Brothers.
I mean, you can't put David Baine in here. Who
put David Baine.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
David Bayne versus Mark Lundy, Oh, okay, that's my Lee
Hart versus Mikey Havoc, Stacy Jones versus the Nick Minute guy.
I'm just saying there's a lot there's a lot of
mister Whippy. You know you're going to put him in there,
Charlie Upham, Willi Appia to oh okay, yep opper the dolphin,
the field than most. There's a lot that you can
chuck in there. And I think that over the next
(05:12):
month we need to deliberate as to who is the
greatest New Zealander. It's going to be controversial, and I
think we have a wins that we should put a
strong petition forward to Chris Luxen to change one of
the notes, the notes, yeah, the banknotes.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, because we'll make a new one five.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, make a new five Hondy and we're going to
put the nick Minute guy on it or whoever you
vote for. So yeah, i'll doctor that up this afternoon.
We'll get into it probably tomorrow or Wednesday, just before
we get into the Olympics as well. Your rams won
on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yes, and you know what a little part of me
my heart sung when I was watching that and the
mascot made his way onto the court and they've changed
have changed his costume somewhat since I was in it.
It's a bit more athletic. Yeah, it looks a bit
more breather than the basically the wool rests rug that
I was wearing in the paper mache helmet that was
about thirty kg's Because you were the ram I was Rambo.
(06:09):
His name's Rambo. I was Rambo for a season down there,
and when I was a student down there in Canterbridge.
That it just killed you. Yes, there was an incident
where I was left hanging from the hoop by a
gold medallion on the seventies theme night, and the crowd
thought it was all part of the entertainment as Rambo
looked like he was getting hung And luckily for me,
(06:31):
the structure of the medallion was quite weak and it
gave way and I fell flat on my back on
the court. There was footage of this. Oh my god,
I would rather see that than the bodybuilding footage. This
was so bad I actually feared for my life for
a while there. It was. It's funny now, but at
the time I was struggling to breathe and hanging from
a ten foot hoop entangled with a gold medallion into
(06:53):
the net, and then to fall down feet and land
on your back. The only thing that stopped being knocked
out was the fact I had that thirty kg helmet on.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Bit of PP yeah, well a bit of health and
safety procedures. Last night they cut the net down, yes,
because they did. When the NBL last night, there was
a great clipt in the rounds of ironically a RAMS fan.
This kid, Oh, he dropped the greatest IF bomb. Yeah,
in slow motion you can see him saying it. But
they were winning. I don't know what it was about,
but go check that one out on Instagram. But the
(07:25):
Olympics did start over the weekend. Did you watch the
opening ceremony?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I watch it bits and pieces of it. It was.
It was quite something. It was all over the show.
It was a lot going on. I quite liked the
idea that the athletes came in on boats, so they
quite liked that. Yeah, the flames not in the in
the like the fact that it wasn't in a stadium
so much. You know, I quite liked it. It was.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I saw an interview with Andrew Mulligan from crowd Go
as well, because he's over there, and he was like,
I gotta be honest with you, it would have been
way bit of watching on TV than where I was.
Oh yeah, yeah, he could only see a little bit
of it. Yeah, because they would they would have. There
was like a woman, the opera singer was impressive. So
she was standing on top of that big glass building. Yeah, one, yeah,
and then they zoomed out. But the thing is, no
(08:07):
one in town could have seen her or heard her.
It was only that she was miked up and they
had zoomed in it. What is that big building again?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Is that nopera house? Something like that? Anyway, there's so
many impressive buildings in Paris, which ones which? But in
an essence, the Omening Ceremony is an hour long tourism video. Yes,
that's all it is. They don't give a shit about
the people there watching it. It's about selling Paris to
the world. And it did a pretty mean job. Doesn't
(08:33):
ave much selling power, I know, but it was pretty balling.
And I like the way that the audacity of They
ain't give a ship. They put a bunch of transvestites
and mock the last supper. They don't care. What are
you gonna do about me?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I thought that was Dionysus and they were just having
some sort of festive orgy. And I don't know, I
suppose open to interpretation that that metal band forgive me
for not know go Jira or something like that. A
few people that hearing that on my timeline people, A
few of my friends absolutely love that kind of shit.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's good. I like it. I mean, the less amount
of children running around with ribbons, yeah, the better, because
that's what vans in most opening ceremonies. There's a bunch
of children with flags and ribbons and they're dance. Yeah
a shit. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I did notice though that as the boats were coming
along the water, there were all those fountains going off.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I was like, these guys must be getting absolutely drenched,
and sure enough they were. Kevin Durant posted to his
Instagram stories like my whole outfits soaked. He would not
be used to that, and know this's a guy who's
getting paid hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I didn't like their uniform either. The Americans. They had
seen undersized jeans on with blazers. Anytime you're trying to
fit NBA players, Yeah, they look ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
In a suit. Yeah, in a suit, you can spot.
It's quite funny.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I liked looking at all the dudes on their boats
and trying to pick what sport they were, you know, Yeah,
the NBA players stick out like you know.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Dogs balls because they're about seven feet tall.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, I'll say the other day made of mine who's
over there sailing for some more. So we should try
and get him on and get his thoughts of what
it was like.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
He filmed the whole thing. It seemed like it was
a long day for the athlete. Well, there's a lot
of athletes who weren't there either, because obviously the rugby
sevens was on at the same time. Oh yeah, surfers
are a wee way away.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Oh where are they, Billy Stimm?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
It is actually an action right now. Have you seen? Though?
They've got like a floating Olympic village and Tahiti, so
they've got like a little cruise ship. And then all
the surfers are just staying on this cruise ship. Oh,
just parting up almost rather do that. Yeah, I suppose
you can't surf and Paris, can you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And they're back to not knowing whether they're going to
do the triathlon in the sin anymore because it rained,
because it rained and so now, but then what they're
saying is, so they tested the water after the rain
and so there was more poos in there. That's what
they're testing for. Yeah, I coola figal meta. They found
dangerous levels of No, Like, if it stays that's follow poose,
(11:02):
we're not going to be able to do it. Then
it came out that actually, you know, when the mirror
went down and had to swim, Yeah, and a few
of them were swimming around. It actually came out that
the levels were dangerous. Then too, Ah, there's no way,
there's no way this is good. It's going to be
clean enough. Whether that it goes ahead or not, I
think it is completely irrelevant, Like, it doesn't depend on
whether there's posing there or not.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I go on a head with it or yeah they
should do and I want to I want to swimmer
to come out of the water with a grogan like
on his shoulder or something, we're in his hair. That's
that just. I mean, even if it's fake, even if
someone just throws a picnic bar in the and puts it,
grabs it off your shoulder and takes a bite out
of it. Live on TV add and Wild.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Who could be our best middle hope so far, we're
going to get into all of the actual action that
has happened in the first forty eight hours of the
Olympics proper, but just before we do.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
If you're watching all of these.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Sports and you're thinking, geez, I wish there's some sort
of scholarship set up around this kind of thing, something
that could get me, like, I don't know, some chips,
some refreshments. Well we've got just that nackt change sports scholarship.
We're binge watching. Sport is a sport. To enter text
chip to three two three six, follow the link and
you could be in to win the Ultimate acc Price
Pack quick break.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
We'll be right back lane.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I was reading the newspapers this morning, and I'm gonna
be honest, they're all very, very negative and down on
our athletes so far.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well there is I mean, like I could see why
with one zero medals we have not won a medal.
But we specialize in our ass being on something solid
to win. Okay, whether it's us being blown around a
harbor or an ocean, or whether it's going backwards or forwards,
when our ass needs to be on some sort of
(12:37):
terra firma to win a medal.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
We need to be set and to be fair, our
rowers are going all right, so far the men's peer
in the semi final, women's peer into the woman's lightweight
double skull into the semi finals, women's four into the final,
men's four into the finals.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So yeah, we are doing well. The word rap as
it's only ever said once every four years, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, we need the rippig, which I only understand to
mean you get another shot at it.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So you didn't qualify in your heat, you go the
ripa and you basically have to win that to to
stay in it. It is fun when the Olympics come
around and you've got to try and refamiliarize yourself with
all this stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Very unique to rowing. Not because there's no rippichage in
the shooting, is it.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I think there's one in the sailing. I don't know
what's great. Rip experts reach out, but where else does it?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
World Cup rugby, you lose your pool games and you
get a rippersa. If this podcast is ship, do we
have to do a afterwards?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I was watching a bit of the rowing last night.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's an awkward time, but we've taken to go in
a bed and then firing up the old thing on
the phone and you can flip between between them all.
I was watching our equestrians. Price, I forget if its name.
She drove her horse into one of the barriers, just
like full pace Janelle Janel Price.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It wasn't full pace.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
They were coming through the water and they hopped out
and the horse I just don't think was ready for
the next one.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And so it just fuck and then keep going.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And I think basically at that level, if you do that,
you're done.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Have Did you watch the pistol shooting? Now? The pistol
shooting is one of the funniest things that they They
introduced the shooters first of all, hands down, all look
like serial killers, the pistol shooters, Yeah, and so, and
then they're wearing these the strangest eye wear you've ever seen.
It's like small piece of scaffolding that they put across
(14:37):
their eyebrows, and then one of them has like an
evil brown eye, and then on the other eye they
have a flag blocking their eye. And it's like during
the intros, take them off and they're wearing them the
whole time, and they're standing there and they look like
the biggest goobers as well, Like, like I said, serial killers,
All of them serial killers or gamers. Yeah, yeah, have
(15:01):
you have you got a lineup of them of the
pistol pistol shooting, And then it is yes, yes, why
they dreads now like a robotic Harry Potter. It's weird.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's not even cool, like there's it looks like the
like leftover science equipment from your high school class.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And you know what's even uncoler about it. There's no
recoil on the pistol. It's it's like like a spud gun. Yeah,
at least give it some sort of like boom.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, anyway, it's kind of like the thing they tried
to shoot Trump with. There was no like boom. It
was just like clapping. Why wouldn't you if you're one
of these dudes, if you're one of these pistol shooters,
why would you not come and dressed.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
As a cowboy hundred percent? You have the world of
possibilities available to you.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, and you come and looking like anbsolute wood or
like some sort of RoboCop thing.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, just hamming up a little bit. But instead they're
just a little sloppy, weird looking dudes. And then one
guy he he put his left arm up to shirt
and then he tucked he got his belt out and
tucked his hand into his belt and into his pants
and then shot. It was weird. It's problematic.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And so they this is they just literally stand there
and shoot with their pistols.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, they get like I think they do five shots
at a time or something, and then they put them
down and they put them up again. How boring. Oh yeah,
they get their hearts rates down to like thirty so
that they're hardly alive. They've got the they got the
pulse of a toa. Yeah, but why are they wearing
that that the eye were I don't, I don't know.
It's so odd anime.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, shit anyway, and also at least with the skiing one,
like there's a bit of jeppety involved. I like these
twos they have to run around. I think we were
talking about it last week.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, the modern pin test on, Yeah and on in
the winter. It was where they've got to go. There's
ski for ten kilometers. Then they've gotta lie down, try
and control their breathing and then shoot a target.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, you should have to ram rate of Michael Hill
Jeweler and then hop out buy your thing off.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
We've got to drive a spoon into a Mesda demio.
Start it, yeah, hit the nearest jewelry saw it, then
get out and pop five off and shoot a wicket
and then you're away. Eat it. Yep. Our sailing is
an action reveraly sure as well.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
The Black Fans seven's beat China forty three to five
in Canada thirty three seven.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
That did michaela Bly score four tries in one of
those games?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It sounds like it would have been that first one.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yep. They're off to a flyer.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Football fans lost to nearl against Columbia who were probably
flying a drone at the top.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Of the m.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
The hockey stick. Black Sticks Men lost to Belgium one
to two. I think they lost to India as well
just before that. And Woman's surfer she got beaten. I
think the waves weren't coming for her.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So and Louly Sun won and done. Louly Sun won
and done.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
God journalists to have an absolute field day with Lulu's
last night, which I think it's son but son, Yeah,
Sun one and done, And it's one of those classic
key we we don't really follow sports very closely, and
we hear that she's mean and then she loses and
was like, well what I thought she was awesome?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So yeah, you can still lose it game.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
It's like the the men's sevens team people, I thought
they were goods, like they are. They just they literally
beat that team that beat them the night play. Yeah,
if you knew what the results would be, why by
the hosting the tournament at all?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And then South Africa went on and get bronze as well. Yeah,
so how was that seven's final? Though? I meant I
was written in the stars, wasn't it? That whole whole final? Him?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He was tremendous throughout that. He was like, I mean,
arguably he is the best rugby fifteens player in the
world at the moment now he's gone to sevens. He
was immense and he's just a ball of muscle.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He's a nugget.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah yeah, giant head, huge hid. Yeah, he was on
the back of human centipede for his second try.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yes, that's right. The whole team came in a game
flying and a seven man mall in sevens is a
Gatsy move.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's unheard of. It's something. Yeah, the way May under
eighteens used to do a thirteen man like that. Something
I haven't seen since. So after forty eight hours there
have been a ton of medals dished out so far.
Do you want to have a guess at who's at
the top of the medal table?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
M France, non China, non America, non Australia, also non
very close. You've named all four of the top five.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It is Japan tied for gold medals with Australia, but
they have one extra bronze, which is hey Keebi gold,
which I think was a fencer. Australians have got some
good gods, honest, Ossie gold with a couple of swimmers,
eric A Fieweather who came forth.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
She was gutted.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Everyone at the Olympics always says fourth is the worst
position to get because you just missed out on the thing. Yeah,
if you fourth eighth, but you're agonizingly close. She was
in an historic field.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yes, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It would be like if you came fourth in a
one on one basketball tournament and the winners were Michael Jordan,
Lebron James and Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Just be like, well, what was I going to do?
Orgonizingly close too?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Is there a worse job in media than being having
to interview athletes immediately after they've hated and lost, because
you're basically saying, hey, you can't fuck it up. And
then in that field, yeah, I had that feel and
a pretty gutted and they always start get emotional and
it's like and then then they're gonna try and bring
(20:26):
them back. Country is proud of you. We're really proud
of you. You've done yourself a really you know. And
then then they're like.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's why it has to be someone like Kimberly Downs
or someone to do it, because if it was some
sort of you know, hard, hardline journey, it was like
Jesus fucked that en, didn't you four years to be left?
Think about all the times your mates went out on
the purse and you said no because I'm going to
the Olympics and you sucked it up. You might as
well have gone out on the purse.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And or James McCain just trying to throw one line
is at you exactly. You need someone with a bit
of a heart.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But at the middle table at the moment, Japan four
gold medals they are in fencing, judo, and skateboarding. Yeah,
of all things do you see the skateboarding bus broke down,
so they just skated. They just skated. That seems like
a PR stunt. I'm gonna be honest with it, but
I don't know what's gonna happen if the breakdancing bus breaksdown.
(21:19):
The Australians are fourth the you know, sorry a second
before as well, USA or third. Kazakhstan are among the
teams that are ahead of us. Is Bikistan as well?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
And how where where they lays stunny medals come from? Judo? Yeah? Judo.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So Judo's had They've had a bunch of weight divisions
go through, so Kazakhstan's got to judo. It is Bikistan's
good a judo. As we get down to Kosovo, they've
got a judo. Mongolia to Nizia, they've got a fencing
and the Republic of Moldova is also ahead of us, but.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
That's only because of judo. Into we're sitting down going backwards.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, once we get out on the water with the sailing.
What's been your favorite thing that you've watched so far
across the week?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
The shooting shooting head me in absolute tears. Yeah, but
just because I was so ice cop there was no
zero personality the eight dudes that lined up. I only
watched the dudes one because it was just so they're
just so funny. And the commentator goes and then and
there's Demian. He's a real character. Demien, He's like, no,
he's not. He's got no character, Like none of them have.
(22:28):
It's kind of like early doors darts players. Yeah, they're
sales sloppy red serial killers.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, there needs to be a bit more jeopardy in
the like if the if it was like a carnival
where the things are moving and you can shoot them down.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Oh you had a teammate with something on his head,
you need to shoot it off his head like a
can or something.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, exactly for me, I've gotta be honest, I
actually really enjoyed the rowing. I shed on it when
for three years out of four, but the one year
when it's actually going in the Olympics, I'm like, they're
actually quite fun races to because of the way the
boats back and forth.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And I quite like they've got the speed as well.
You can see who's seeking to see who's on the side.
That's the first time I've seen the speed thing on
the side yeah, the speed and see who's catching apples?
Great dropping ass min you With the rowing, I always
feel sorry because there's always some fucking dude from Congo
who's about a kilometer behind him right now, and oh,
poor bastard.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And also in our men's what this double single skulls,
the one where they're only holding one or each. Oh yep,
they were racing against the Swiss team had two dudes
from Yale University and they were in the Yale rowing
team for ages and then now they're rowing for Switzerland.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
And I was like, that's right, this is a big thing.
And those were a wanky.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Meanwhile, the US team done there ass they were about
three hundred meters behind the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
And I also liked that.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Obviously they wear their watch so they can keep time,
keep track of various different metrics. Our man in the
front of our boat, he put the watch on the oar.
He didn't even have it on his arm. It's just wrong,
the thing and checking it every now and then as
it came past on the oar. So yeah, that the swimming, obviously,
this is the only time in my life that I
watched swimming.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
You reckon, you could biscuit behind a rowing apple. Look,
I'm gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Last time I tried water skiing, it just about sunk
the boat that was trying to pull me out of
the water.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
So I see biscuiting because yeah, you could just see
a couple of kids on a biscuit behind the eight.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Oh, a couple of kids on a biscuit. Yeah, but
I mean they'd want to be up to almost full
telt before God, it'd just be the start would be tough.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, you've got to get a planing, don't you. Yeah,
start would be very tough. Yeah, probably could maybe maybe
foiling behind because once you're up on the foil is
very little resistance.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Oh yeah, you could foil behind it, yeah for sure.
But the basket it would be a bit different. I
just the only the only down, Like obviously, rowing came
from just back in the day when you had to
actually row a boat out to a bigger ship to
go where.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
All vikings were headed to the north of England to
the rape and pillage.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
And they're like, I reckon, we were way quicker than
you guys. Fuck off, all right, line them up, let's go.
I don't know how that has persisted as a support
through until today. It's so bizarre, it is. It is weird.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
If you're a man from Mars, he came in and
go what why? But then they also looked at the
pestol shooters and going Jesus, yeah, that's right, these are
your best shooters. Looking at those pistol shooters obviously not
very athletic. They stand dead still. I don't know how
we've ended up back here again. If you're in a
shootout at like a laser tag place with an actual pistol,
do you reck and you could beat one of them?
(25:30):
You reckon?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You could get them before they got you.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Nah, No, No, there's something there's something unhinged about all
of them that they're so psychotic. Yeah, they would be
so still in the corner, yes, just popping you off, like.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, that'll do it for the Olympics for today.
All of our athletes that are in action later on
today and tomorrow are up on our Instagram. Yep, we're
pumping out when and where you can watch each of those.
But it's ugly times because they zach opposite time in
the world from us, So AnyWho go and check that
out on the Instagram if you wish to and if
(26:07):
you would like the exclusive opportunity to win a VIP
Warriors experience, all thanks to Helenstein's, We've got just that.
You can score tickets, cash money for food, beverages, plus
vouchers to be kidded out in hoodies like the one
I'm wearing right now. From the legends at Helenstein's to
getting the draw texts VIP to three two three six
to be a VIP at the Warriors thanks to the
ACC and Helenstein's brothers. One more quick break and we'll
(26:29):
come back with yours please.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yours please, brought you by Leader Home of the LASN.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Just afford to get through today?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Lane yep, and the first one goes like this, yours
please get a Failers.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Are we going to talk about the NRLW over the weekend?
And I didn't watched that before, but watching the Broncos
versus Eeles game, oh all on their full punchers, there's
bloody good watching actually, And you've got to really talk
about the the post try celebrations is pretty choreographed. Was
(27:05):
actually quite entertaining watching, all right, fun.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah no, this was good.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So it was one of the Eels players got lined
up and it was a simultaneous hip drop and hid
high on this one player and so then her sister,
who plays in the same team, fired up. Was just like,
what this's as fuck. She comes and pushes one girl
off with her hand right on her face and then
the hip drop e and it was uas salah. I'm
(27:35):
definitely not pronounce it correctly. She's the sister of Frank Paul,
who played for the Roosters. He won the l back
in twenty thirteen. They just started throwing bones. It was
just all on for young and old good stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
It was.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It was good and I think because I was watching
the footage and I think it was Gus Gould commentating,
and you could tell him he was just been like, oh.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Here we go, Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It's on now, it's on now, like he was loving it.
Then they showed the slow replay and there was just
like a full couple of full on punches to the
cheek and he's like, oh opsy oopsy And in the
end they both just got synbin for ten minutes. I
expect when they see the replays they're gonna get quite
lengthy bands for that.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
But yeah, it's just good.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
To see a bit of biff in the NROLW God
bless them. Another call here yours.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Howdy lads.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Frano here, just calling in regards to commentary to the Olympics.
You said you guys have had too much on your
plate to do every single one, so I thought would
narrow it down a bit. How about just commentating the
Olympic villa. Who's shagging who? What mischief? Skinning up? You know,
what's everyone's body count? Just you know, make it a
(28:44):
bit easier for everyone. Plus, I'd love to hear here
which one about.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I'm quite glad they got cut off there. Yeah it
was a tractor, you know. They sounded like he was
an attractor of some description or a harvester of some description.
Interesting when the whole village and the socialization because as
because all the athletes finish at different times.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, so well the sevens guys finished before the opening ceremony.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, so they hit it hard for the next two weeks.
Do I stick out? I don't think they were on
the boat. Do they stick around? Do you stick around? Hey,
you stick around? Oh yeah, you totally would. But obviously
all the judo guys are ready to mingle they're done. Yeah.
The judo guys, I mean a lot of the swimmers
they're done. Yes, few of those guys. But then again,
you got and they So you've got a mixture of
people tearing the village a new one literally, yeah, and
(29:31):
then ones that are just trying to keep their distance.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
It reminds me of like the end of your university
year when everyone was finishing their exams at different times.
So then, but if you were the last one and
everyone else was like going for it.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You'd always feel like, oh, should I just have a
one got?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
How easily could you derail your entire Olympics. But if
I was over there and I'd trained for four years
and the judo boys were on the chot because they
had already finished, but I still had my one eyed
still shooting the cup, I reckon I would to I
would have gone healthily. I'm never gonna be in Paris
with these guys again.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Imagine if you were in the village and a real
breath of fresh air came up they just finished their event.
What are you up to tonight? I've got two tickets
to the Moulin Rouge. I've been spotting you from the other
side of the room. Yeah, you know, I think we
would have a good night together. You've got your shooting
the next morning, have some d one children. You're never gonna,
(30:28):
never gonna come across the scenario again.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You're like, so you're telling me, as Bicky Wrestler comes
up to me and he says, I've got us get
to the Moulan room.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Exactly what I'm saying. How could you resist because he's
gonna have you anyway? You know what.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Esville I don't know, Okay, class, Yeah, absolutely, we're talking
about me. Yes, I would, Yeah, one hundred percent. I
guess that's what makes these what separates these people from
the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, the temptation must be just mind by and then
it's just built up, and then you see it at
the closing ceremony and you're like, oh my god, there's
gonna it's gonna be like a painter's radio around this village.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
A lot of sunglasses going on around that time. Yeah,
just like we said, we did offer, and there were
talks about us going over there, And I actually think
that reporting on this kind of thing is exactly why
we're not there right now, because this is what the Olympic,
the New Zealand Olympic Committee does not want Yeah, correct
Nigel Avery. The last thing he wants shift to Michon
as us going out there's but fuck do you hear
(31:29):
what these guys got up to last night?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That's another word the shift the micheal between ripper and
shift of micheal. When whenever do you say shift to Michele, Well,
only when he's in the ripper you just say he's
the dude in charge.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I know, I don't know. I don't know what we
end up with all the French words in there as well?
Another call here, yours, please get.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
An idea for the halftime at the rugby there will
be slightly more interesting. Why don't we get some animal
fighting going on, but a cock fighting? Maybe go grape
some lines and some gazelles from the Auckland Zoo. I'm
sure the TAB would love to get on board, and
I'm sure everyone would love it. Hello.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Well, first of all, great idea. Why we don't get
the gazelles is because my partner looks after the gazelles
at so it's gonna cause me more problems that it's worth. Yeah,
but I think the halftime show animal fight it's a
great idea, and I think that perhaps that the the
Olympic version would be you nominate a native animal from
your country. Yeah, and then you just put them all
(32:34):
in sort of royal rumble styles.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
We'd suck though, because we'd have like flightless birds in there.
Oh no, you can check a sea lion in there.
Oh okay, you know we got a native sea lion,
are we?
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Well.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I don't think they're introduced.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I don't think someone came over and was just like,
you know what brings us gorse, bring us some possums.
A couple of firits are stowtness sea lion I think,
I mean, I don't have to from here, but they're around.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I reckon, I reckon. A kiwi would go all right, though,
because it would just be like the one quiet dude
wacking off in the corner, and everyone will kill each
other on in the in the field, and then there
must be this keewi in the corner going that's a
good point, terrified in the corner, and no one will
even engage with the flightless fat bird, that's right, And
it'll be all the light tigers and lions and snakes
(33:21):
going hammer and tongs.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Oh yeah, if I'm if I'm in Alaskan grizzly and
I'm looking around the room and I see the Central
African Republics put forward a gorilla. Yes, I'm like one
that ki We'll get round. That gorilla is going to
be a problem.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
That little fat thing in the corner, Yeah, pleasuring itself.
I can deal with that later. We'll get back to
that thing. But the gorilla that needs to be stopped
right now. Botswana's sent over a lion. You know. It's like,
well American's got an eagle flying around just picking people off.
I mean that's an issue for the Kiwi. The eagle
coming and the ball like traditionally and just picking it up.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, yeah, it'd be so lame. Meanwhile, there's a salt
saltwater crocodile Australia.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Australia have got so many like what do you pick
Those castle wearries look terrifying.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Caries are terrifying. Yeah, so you got those things as well.
The noise they make rattles your chest.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
The yeah. See, like Australia got their own they've got
their own division.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
They yeah, they could, they could run their own whole competition. No,
I think would be I think we'd be in deep ship.
It's a beer, It's gonna be a I've spent a
lot of time thinking about animals fighting against other animals.
If you if you think or grizzly bear, if you
think that a gorilla could be a grizzly beer, just
go and have a look at how at the size difference.
Grizzly beers are so much bigger.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Polar bear smaller than a grizzly bear.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, probably a bit more athletic, but more vicious.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
But you can an elephant could take down a grizzly
just standing on its heat or something. Oh yes, I.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Did get served a video on Instagram of an elephant
standing on this trainer a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
That really is your feet is wrong?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Really interrupted my sleeping pattern on a Tuesday. M Yeah,
I think an elephant, kid, because I've always I always
like to think about what's the biggest animal, like a
beaten one on one fight, you know, I never one
always immediately jumps to like cows because like they're so placid.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
How are you gonna kill a cow that's one hundred
punches to the head and you've got broken hands? Yeah,
that's right, you're not.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yeah, and look, I'm not too proud to admit that
I've once punched a sheep in the head and it
just broke my hand and the sheep didn't even notice it.
So you're not killing a cow or a sheep or
anything like that. I think I could starve out a giraffe.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Starve out a draft. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I feel like I can last longer without eating than
a drafte.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Okay, so this is not a fight to the death.
This is just you steering at a girafe. It's me
and a draft get locked in a cage and you're like,
we're not going to fight.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I just wanted to walk out once, okay. Yeah, or
I went until it lies down. Eventually it's going to
get so emaciated it lies down. Yeah, and then really,
no good chokehold in another.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Doesn't your partner look after the draft? She does, She's
convinced I couldn't do it. I reckon I could, I
reckon I could. All right, we're off into the weeds here.
One last caller call of yours.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
Please, Hey, boys. Regarding the sevens men's team, I think
the selectors are currently doing the nation and the fans
a disservice by not calling in the Avengers. We need
to build out a super team like USA Basketball and
bring in the likes of Mwanga and Barrett. I know
it's harsh on players who play sevens year and year out,
but one civil medal from three Olympics doesn't stack up
to our rugby pedigree. Change is required to win.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, that was so was pointed. That was one of
the most well thought out voice spellers. It is actually finished,
finished in time. Ye wrapped it up nicely. That's what
we're in the industry called hitting the post. Yeah, he's
nailed that, and I agree with him. I agree with him.
Why why didn't we have Richie Mullen there? Why didn't
we have Buddy Barrett and there Join mac Ardie.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yes, you're telling me they'd rather be playing Fiji and
San Diego. No, they'd rather be in Paris winning a
gold medal exactly. Yeah, and look, I yes, it would
be harsh to those guys on the seven circuit, you know,
week in week out, unfortunately for them, unless you're better. Yeah,
then you know these other guys.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Addie Savia himself would be be terrifying, wouldn't that he
would be.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, he's he looks like a sevens player. I think
we have come away way off the boil from where
our sevens team was, you know, when we're we're in
the DJ Forbes era. I don't think we're quite there anymore,
as evidenced by the by the But but I mean
S BW did come into that team and they didn't
do too well either, So but I don't know. I
(37:41):
think I think we should definitely do that next time.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Is it going to be there next time? Sevens? Is
that a permanent Olympic sport? Now?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Well, what's that the third suppose Olympics? I suppose it is.
I mean I would I would love to hear the
argument about why break Dancings in there and rugby sevens
isn't you know.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Isn't parkhor in there as well? And as yet I
think so? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
And then the wall climbing, I don't mind the wall
climents quite good fun. That is actually quite good to watch.
It doesn't make too much sense. I feel like they're
pulling them up with that rope. That's what I'm honest,
A bit of performance enhancement. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Yes, I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
I think the bat signal should go up for the
Avengers of the Sevens. But that'll do us for today,
But send in your voicemails overnight and tomorrow. We want
to know who you think is the candidates for the
Greatest New Zealander of all time. We'll put a bracket
together and we will debate it over the coming month. Also,
just one last thing, we're actually on YouTube. I don't
(38:39):
know if we've yeah, we've been putting these up for
ages and I just don't think anyone's ever mentioned it.
But if you prefer watching your podcast on YouTube, if
you want to see what.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
We look like, oh god posture, if.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
You want to see the awful, awful posture that goes
I blame the cheers and the export Big Gudens Studio.
It's definitely the cheers cheers suck. Then you can do that.
You can just check it out on the YouTube. Other
than that, we'll not sting on the head. We'll see
you tomorrow for another episode of the Gender Podcast.
Speaker 2 (39:07):
You've been listening to the ACC's Agenda podcast, brought to
you by Export Ultra. For more episodes, like and follow
on iHeartRadio for William. You get your podcasts
Live from the Export Beer Addin's studio and brought to

Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Next Sport Ultra.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Good morning, Lane. We'll get into the Olympics for shortly.
But I don't know if you heard. Heath and I
are talking about it on the podcast. Last week we
got onto talking about who's the greatest New Zealander of
all time?
Speaker 3 (00:28):
Oh yeah, that's that's quite a broad topic.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
It came off the back of a voicemail that we
had and it was something that I thought that Matt
and Jerry would have done on this show. Paul ever
on a great New Zealander. Who is the greatest?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah? Who is the greatest?
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Because people were talking last last week. Actually came off
the back of a meme that was going around saying
Lebron James is the greatest American of all time. Someone
had him over Abe Lincoln and I got asked, who
is the greatest New Zealander of all time? And I
feel like we need to We've got a lot of
messages on Instagram about it.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
Yeah, a lot of votes for Richie.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
I feel like we need to bust out another bracket
for this, like we did with the a SEC nicknames
last year.
Speaker 3 (01:07):
Yeah, so I.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
Think we need to get your votes through sending voicemails.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
There's some interesting ones on this list.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
This is just a little quick whip around that we
had in the office last week of some of the
some of the ones that we came.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
In Money who put pe money in the Greatest News
you p Money versus Scribe.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I feel like it would be quite a good, you know,
quite a good I Ring Van Dyke versus Benie Mini. Obviously,
we're going to have to boil this down. I think
last year we did sixty four in the bracket, which, yeah,
arguably too much.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah it was. It went on for quite some time,
So thirty two would probably be the go. Costable Keith
versus Sniff. Yeah, Constable Keith. I always thought he was.
There was the dog's name. Nah, nah, he was. Constable
Keith was the was the police officer Sniff as a
terrifying looking dog if you ah. It was like it
was like before puppetry became cute. It was like basically
(01:57):
a taxi dormy Alsatian with a loose jaw.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
That's exactly what it was. I just somebody sent me
a photo of it last week. I'm gonna try and
bring it up. But yeah, that's exactly what it looks like.
Here it is here taxi to me, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
it was a legit taxi.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
To mc dog were just a loose bottom jaw that
would go up and down.
Speaker 1 (02:17):
And it's like, now, kids, what do you do if
a stranger jumps out of the bush and flashes you?
Speaker 3 (02:22):
What the fuck? I did not know that was an
option and to the state, never happened to me. We
used to work with comfortable Keith daughter Meghan Keith. Really
yeah she was. She was on radio for you.
Speaker 1 (02:34):
Keith this his last name, of course, that was I
thought that they were a comfortable dave. It's like I
thought they did that to make him a bit more approachable. Also,
where I'm from, you do know the police by first name. No,
it's Constable Keith's last name. Okay, okay, so Keith, this
is last night. Well we're learning a lot. See, this
(02:54):
is what it's important to have these debates, because the
one I was talking about last week was would you
have Joanah over id Hillary? And I think they know
about that. I think the only thing that holds Jonah
back is he didn't win a World Cup if we
won in ninety five.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
And he didn't climb the highest mountain in the world. No,
he didn't. He didn't. He didn't drive it. He didn't
drive a messy Ferguson to the South Pole either Lake
sirehn Hllary did. He didn't.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
He didn't build schools in Nepal and then take all
the kids from the school down to the nearest flat
bit of earth and make them dance for a whole
day until it was flattened flat enough that a plane
could land in it.
Speaker 3 (03:28):
But he did. Yeah, it did do that.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
And that's why he's on the five dollar note. You
know Queen Beavers, Val Adams.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
Magnus and Magnus Benra.
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Can you put Magnus and Benra on the same thing
anyone outside of Auckland.
Speaker 3 (03:43):
No, Magnus and beinro It's a very Auckland TV store
appliance store, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
I actually have only just found you telling me that.
Now I've only just figured out what they actually said
white ware.
Speaker 3 (03:55):
They just cracked me up.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
What are their names again? I was just talking about
them before.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
Ah On and Adrian, they're definitely banging. I think they're married,
an't they are? They? Are? They not blowing your mind
this morning?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
A lot this morning. John and Adrian aren't married. Keith
is not his first name.
Speaker 3 (04:16):
Hey, in the Briscoes Lady, it's a wig.
Speaker 1 (04:18):
Yeah, I know it's a wig, but I don't think
a wig precludes you from being the greatest New Zealander
of all time. But you know she's going to come
up against some stuff, the big Saved lady versus the
Briscoes lad.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
Yeah, Timmy is her name, Timmy? Yeah, I think so.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
But Gary from Big Gary's chip shop down there, RP.
Morton Courts, who figured out continuous fermentation for dB Breweries
back in the day.
Speaker 3 (04:43):
That's a global phenomenon that one know. The Finn Brothers.
I mean, you can't put David Baine in here. Who
put David Baine.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
David Bayne versus Mark Lundy, Oh, okay, that's my Lee
Hart versus Mikey Havoc, Stacy Jones versus the Nick Minute guy.
I'm just saying there's a lot there's a lot of
mister Whippy. You know you're going to put him in there,
Charlie Upham, Willi Appia to oh okay, yep opper the dolphin,
the field than most. There's a lot that you can
chuck in there. And I think that over the next
(05:12):
month we need to deliberate as to who is the
greatest New Zealander. It's going to be controversial, and I
think we have a wins that we should put a
strong petition forward to Chris Luxen to change one of
the notes, the notes, yeah, the banknotes.
Speaker 3 (05:25):
Yeah, because we'll make a new one five.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
Yeah, make a new five Hondy and we're going to
put the nick Minute guy on it or whoever you
vote for. So yeah, i'll doctor that up this afternoon.
We'll get into it probably tomorrow or Wednesday, just before
we get into the Olympics as well. Your rams won
on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (05:46):
Yes, and you know what a little part of me
my heart sung when I was watching that and the
mascot made his way onto the court and they've changed
have changed his costume somewhat since I was in it.
It's a bit more athletic. Yeah, it looks a bit
more breather than the basically the wool rests rug that
I was wearing in the paper mache helmet that was
about thirty kg's Because you were the ram I was Rambo.
(06:09):
His name's Rambo. I was Rambo for a season down there,
and when I was a student down there in Canterbridge.
That it just killed you. Yes, there was an incident
where I was left hanging from the hoop by a
gold medallion on the seventies theme night, and the crowd
thought it was all part of the entertainment as Rambo
looked like he was getting hung And luckily for me,
(06:31):
the structure of the medallion was quite weak and it
gave way and I fell flat on my back on
the court. There was footage of this. Oh my god,
I would rather see that than the bodybuilding footage. This
was so bad I actually feared for my life for
a while there. It was. It's funny now, but at
the time I was struggling to breathe and hanging from
a ten foot hoop entangled with a gold medallion into
(06:53):
the net, and then to fall down feet and land
on your back. The only thing that stopped being knocked
out was the fact I had that thirty kg helmet on.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Bit of PP yeah, well a bit of health and
safety procedures. Last night they cut the net down, yes,
because they did. When the NBL last night, there was
a great clipt in the rounds of ironically a RAMS fan.
This kid, Oh, he dropped the greatest IF bomb. Yeah,
in slow motion you can see him saying it. But
they were winning. I don't know what it was about,
but go check that one out on Instagram. But the
(07:25):
Olympics did start over the weekend. Did you watch the
opening ceremony?
Speaker 3 (07:29):
I watch it bits and pieces of it. It was.
It was quite something. It was all over the show.
It was a lot going on. I quite liked the
idea that the athletes came in on boats, so they
quite liked that. Yeah, the flames not in the in
the like the fact that it wasn't in a stadium
so much. You know, I quite liked it. It was.
Speaker 1 (07:46):
I saw an interview with Andrew Mulligan from crowd Go
as well, because he's over there, and he was like,
I gotta be honest with you, it would have been
way bit of watching on TV than where I was.
Oh yeah, yeah, he could only see a little bit
of it. Yeah, because they would they would have. There
was like a woman, the opera singer was impressive. So
she was standing on top of that big glass building. Yeah, one, yeah,
and then they zoomed out. But the thing is, no
(08:07):
one in town could have seen her or heard her.
It was only that she was miked up and they
had zoomed in it. What is that big building again?
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Is that nopera house? Something like that? Anyway, there's so
many impressive buildings in Paris, which ones which? But in
an essence, the Omening Ceremony is an hour long tourism video. Yes,
that's all it is. They don't give a shit about
the people there watching it. It's about selling Paris to
the world. And it did a pretty mean job. Doesn't
(08:33):
ave much selling power, I know, but it was pretty balling.
And I like the way that the audacity of They
ain't give a ship. They put a bunch of transvestites
and mock the last supper. They don't care. What are
you gonna do about me?
Speaker 1 (08:46):
I thought that was Dionysus and they were just having
some sort of festive orgy. And I don't know, I
suppose open to interpretation that that metal band forgive me
for not know go Jira or something like that. A
few people that hearing that on my timeline people, A
few of my friends absolutely love that kind of shit.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
It's good. I like it. I mean, the less amount
of children running around with ribbons, yeah, the better, because
that's what vans in most opening ceremonies. There's a bunch
of children with flags and ribbons and they're dance. Yeah
a shit. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:19):
I did notice though that as the boats were coming
along the water, there were all those fountains going off.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:25):
I was like, these guys must be getting absolutely drenched,
and sure enough they were. Kevin Durant posted to his
Instagram stories like my whole outfits soaked. He would not
be used to that, and know this's a guy who's
getting paid hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
I didn't like their uniform either. The Americans. They had
seen undersized jeans on with blazers. Anytime you're trying to
fit NBA players, Yeah, they look ridiculous.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
In a suit. Yeah, in a suit, you can spot.
It's quite funny.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
I liked looking at all the dudes on their boats
and trying to pick what sport they were, you know, Yeah,
the NBA players stick out like you know.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Dogs balls because they're about seven feet tall.
Speaker 1 (10:01):
Yeah, I'll say the other day made of mine who's
over there sailing for some more. So we should try
and get him on and get his thoughts of what
it was like.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
He filmed the whole thing. It seemed like it was
a long day for the athlete. Well, there's a lot
of athletes who weren't there either, because obviously the rugby
sevens was on at the same time. Oh yeah, surfers
are a wee way away.
Speaker 1 (10:22):
Oh where are they, Billy Stimm?
Speaker 3 (10:26):
It is actually an action right now. Have you seen? Though?
They've got like a floating Olympic village and Tahiti, so
they've got like a little cruise ship. And then all
the surfers are just staying on this cruise ship. Oh,
just parting up almost rather do that. Yeah, I suppose
you can't surf and Paris, can you.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
And they're back to not knowing whether they're going to
do the triathlon in the sin anymore because it rained,
because it rained and so now, but then what they're
saying is, so they tested the water after the rain
and so there was more poos in there. That's what
they're testing for. Yeah, I coola figal meta. They found
dangerous levels of No, Like, if it stays that's follow poose,
(11:02):
we're not going to be able to do it. Then
it came out that actually, you know, when the mirror
went down and had to swim, Yeah, and a few
of them were swimming around. It actually came out that
the levels were dangerous. Then too, Ah, there's no way,
there's no way this is good. It's going to be
clean enough. Whether that it goes ahead or not, I
think it is completely irrelevant, Like, it doesn't depend on
whether there's posing there or not.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
I go on a head with it or yeah they
should do and I want to I want to swimmer
to come out of the water with a grogan like
on his shoulder or something, we're in his hair. That's
that just. I mean, even if it's fake, even if
someone just throws a picnic bar in the and puts it,
grabs it off your shoulder and takes a bite out
of it. Live on TV add and Wild.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Who could be our best middle hope so far, we're
going to get into all of the actual action that
has happened in the first forty eight hours of the
Olympics proper, but just before we do.
Speaker 3 (11:48):
If you're watching all of these.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Sports and you're thinking, geez, I wish there's some sort
of scholarship set up around this kind of thing, something
that could get me, like, I don't know, some chips,
some refreshments. Well we've got just that nackt change sports scholarship.
We're binge watching. Sport is a sport. To enter text
chip to three two three six, follow the link and
you could be in to win the Ultimate acc Price
Pack quick break.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
We'll be right back lane.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
I was reading the newspapers this morning, and I'm gonna
be honest, they're all very, very negative and down on
our athletes so far.
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Well there is I mean, like I could see why
with one zero medals we have not won a medal.
But we specialize in our ass being on something solid
to win. Okay, whether it's us being blown around a
harbor or an ocean, or whether it's going backwards or forwards,
when our ass needs to be on some sort of
(12:37):
terra firma to win a medal.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
We need to be set and to be fair, our
rowers are going all right, so far the men's peer
in the semi final, women's peer into the woman's lightweight
double skull into the semi finals, women's four into the final,
men's four into the finals.
Speaker 3 (12:52):
So yeah, we are doing well. The word rap as
it's only ever said once every four years, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Yeah, we need the rippig, which I only understand to
mean you get another shot at it.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (13:05):
So you didn't qualify in your heat, you go the
ripa and you basically have to win that to to
stay in it. It is fun when the Olympics come
around and you've got to try and refamiliarize yourself with
all this stuff.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Very unique to rowing. Not because there's no rippichage in
the shooting, is it.
Speaker 1 (13:21):
I think there's one in the sailing. I don't know
what's great. Rip experts reach out, but where else does it?
Speaker 3 (13:31):
World Cup rugby, you lose your pool games and you
get a rippersa. If this podcast is ship, do we
have to do a afterwards?
Speaker 1 (13:39):
I was watching a bit of the rowing last night.
Speaker 3 (13:42):
It's great.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
It's an awkward time, but we've taken to go in
a bed and then firing up the old thing on
the phone and you can flip between between them all.
I was watching our equestrians. Price, I forget if its name.
She drove her horse into one of the barriers, just
like full pace Janelle Janel Price.
Speaker 3 (14:02):
It wasn't full pace.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
They were coming through the water and they hopped out
and the horse I just don't think was ready for
the next one.
Speaker 3 (14:07):
And so it just fuck and then keep going.
Speaker 1 (14:10):
And I think basically at that level, if you do that,
you're done.
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Have Did you watch the pistol shooting? Now? The pistol
shooting is one of the funniest things that they They
introduced the shooters first of all, hands down, all look
like serial killers, the pistol shooters, Yeah, and so, and
then they're wearing these the strangest eye wear you've ever seen.
It's like small piece of scaffolding that they put across
(14:37):
their eyebrows, and then one of them has like an
evil brown eye, and then on the other eye they
have a flag blocking their eye. And it's like during
the intros, take them off and they're wearing them the
whole time, and they're standing there and they look like
the biggest goobers as well, Like, like I said, serial killers,
All of them serial killers or gamers. Yeah, yeah, have
(15:01):
you have you got a lineup of them of the
pistol pistol shooting, And then it is yes, yes, why
they dreads now like a robotic Harry Potter. It's weird.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
It's not even cool, like there's it looks like the
like leftover science equipment from your high school class.
Speaker 3 (15:18):
And you know what's even uncoler about it. There's no
recoil on the pistol. It's it's like like a spud gun. Yeah,
at least give it some sort of like boom.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
Yeah, anyway, it's kind of like the thing they tried
to shoot Trump with. There was no like boom. It
was just like clapping. Why wouldn't you if you're one
of these dudes, if you're one of these pistol shooters,
why would you not come and dressed.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
As a cowboy hundred percent? You have the world of
possibilities available to you.
Speaker 1 (15:45):
Yeah, and you come and looking like anbsolute wood or
like some sort of RoboCop thing.
Speaker 3 (15:50):
Yeah, just hamming up a little bit. But instead they're
just a little sloppy, weird looking dudes. And then one
guy he he put his left arm up to shirt
and then he tucked he got his belt out and
tucked his hand into his belt and into his pants
and then shot. It was weird. It's problematic.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And so they this is they just literally stand there
and shoot with their pistols.
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Yeah, they get like I think they do five shots
at a time or something, and then they put them
down and they put them up again. How boring. Oh yeah,
they get their hearts rates down to like thirty so
that they're hardly alive. They've got the they got the
pulse of a toa. Yeah, but why are they wearing
that that the eye were I don't, I don't know.
It's so odd anime.
Speaker 1 (16:33):
Yeah, shit anyway, and also at least with the skiing one,
like there's a bit of jeppety involved. I like these
twos they have to run around. I think we were
talking about it last week.
Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, the modern pin test on, Yeah and on in
the winter. It was where they've got to go. There's
ski for ten kilometers. Then they've gotta lie down, try
and control their breathing and then shoot a target.
Speaker 1 (16:50):
Yeah, you should have to ram rate of Michael Hill
Jeweler and then hop out buy your thing off.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
We've got to drive a spoon into a Mesda demio.
Start it, yeah, hit the nearest jewelry saw it, then
get out and pop five off and shoot a wicket
and then you're away. Eat it. Yep. Our sailing is
an action reveraly sure as well.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
The Black Fans seven's beat China forty three to five
in Canada thirty three seven.
Speaker 3 (17:16):
That did michaela Bly score four tries in one of
those games?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It sounds like it would have been that first one.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
Yep. They're off to a flyer.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Football fans lost to nearl against Columbia who were probably
flying a drone at the top.
Speaker 3 (17:26):
Of the m.
Speaker 1 (17:28):
The hockey stick. Black Sticks Men lost to Belgium one
to two. I think they lost to India as well
just before that. And Woman's surfer she got beaten. I
think the waves weren't coming for her.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
So and Louly Sun won and done. Louly Sun won
and done.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
God journalists to have an absolute field day with Lulu's
last night, which I think it's son but son, Yeah,
Sun one and done, And it's one of those classic
key we we don't really follow sports very closely, and
we hear that she's mean and then she loses and
was like, well what I thought she was awesome?
Speaker 3 (17:58):
So yeah, you can still lose it game.
Speaker 1 (18:01):
It's like the the men's sevens team people, I thought
they were goods, like they are. They just they literally
beat that team that beat them the night play. Yeah,
if you knew what the results would be, why by
the hosting the tournament at all?
Speaker 3 (18:12):
And then South Africa went on and get bronze as well. Yeah,
so how was that seven's final? Though? I meant I
was written in the stars, wasn't it? That whole whole final? Him?
Speaker 1 (18:24):
He was tremendous throughout that. He was like, I mean,
arguably he is the best rugby fifteens player in the
world at the moment now he's gone to sevens. He
was immense and he's just a ball of muscle.
Speaker 3 (18:37):
He's a nugget.
Speaker 1 (18:38):
Yeah yeah, giant head, huge hid. Yeah, he was on
the back of human centipede for his second try.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
Yes, that's right. The whole team came in a game
flying and a seven man mall in sevens is a
Gatsy move.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
It's unheard of. It's something. Yeah, the way May under
eighteens used to do a thirteen man like that. Something
I haven't seen since. So after forty eight hours there
have been a ton of medals dished out so far.
Do you want to have a guess at who's at
the top of the medal table?
Speaker 3 (19:06):
M France, non China, non America, non Australia, also non
very close. You've named all four of the top five.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
It is Japan tied for gold medals with Australia, but
they have one extra bronze, which is hey Keebi gold,
which I think was a fencer. Australians have got some
good gods, honest, Ossie gold with a couple of swimmers,
eric A Fieweather who came forth.
Speaker 3 (19:39):
She was gutted.
Speaker 1 (19:40):
Everyone at the Olympics always says fourth is the worst
position to get because you just missed out on the thing. Yeah,
if you fourth eighth, but you're agonizingly close. She was
in an historic field.
Speaker 3 (19:51):
Yes, you know.
Speaker 1 (19:51):
It would be like if you came fourth in a
one on one basketball tournament and the winners were Michael Jordan,
Lebron James and Kobe Bryant.
Speaker 3 (19:59):
You know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Just be like, well, what was I going to do?
Orgonizingly close too?
Speaker 3 (20:04):
Is there a worse job in media than being having
to interview athletes immediately after they've hated and lost, because
you're basically saying, hey, you can't fuck it up. And
then in that field, yeah, I had that feel and
a pretty gutted and they always start get emotional and
it's like and then then they're gonna try and bring
(20:26):
them back. Country is proud of you. We're really proud
of you. You've done yourself a really you know. And
then then they're like.
Speaker 1 (20:33):
That's why it has to be someone like Kimberly Downs
or someone to do it, because if it was some
sort of you know, hard, hardline journey, it was like
Jesus fucked that en, didn't you four years to be left?
Think about all the times your mates went out on
the purse and you said no because I'm going to
the Olympics and you sucked it up. You might as
well have gone out on the purse.
Speaker 3 (20:51):
And or James McCain just trying to throw one line
is at you exactly. You need someone with a bit
of a heart.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
But at the middle table at the moment, Japan four
gold medals they are in fencing, judo, and skateboarding. Yeah,
of all things do you see the skateboarding bus broke down,
so they just skated. They just skated. That seems like
a PR stunt. I'm gonna be honest with it, but
I don't know what's gonna happen if the breakdancing bus breaksdown.
(21:19):
The Australians are fourth the you know, sorry a second
before as well, USA or third. Kazakhstan are among the
teams that are ahead of us. Is Bikistan as well?
Speaker 3 (21:31):
And how where where they lays stunny medals come from? Judo? Yeah? Judo.
Speaker 1 (21:36):
So Judo's had They've had a bunch of weight divisions
go through, so Kazakhstan's got to judo. It is Bikistan's
good a judo. As we get down to Kosovo, they've
got a judo. Mongolia to Nizia, they've got a fencing
and the Republic of Moldova is also ahead of us, but.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
That's only because of judo. Into we're sitting down going backwards.
Speaker 1 (21:59):
Yeah, once we get out on the water with the sailing.
What's been your favorite thing that you've watched so far
across the week?
Speaker 3 (22:06):
The shooting shooting head me in absolute tears. Yeah, but
just because I was so ice cop there was no
zero personality the eight dudes that lined up. I only
watched the dudes one because it was just so they're
just so funny. And the commentator goes and then and
there's Demian. He's a real character. Demien, He's like, no,
he's not. He's got no character, Like none of them have.
(22:28):
It's kind of like early doors darts players. Yeah, they're
sales sloppy red serial killers.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Yeah, there needs to be a bit more jeopardy in
the like if the if it was like a carnival
where the things are moving and you can shoot them down.
Speaker 3 (22:40):
Oh you had a teammate with something on his head,
you need to shoot it off his head like a
can or something.
Speaker 1 (22:46):
Yeah, yeah, exactly for me, I've gotta be honest, I
actually really enjoyed the rowing. I shed on it when
for three years out of four, but the one year
when it's actually going in the Olympics, I'm like, they're
actually quite fun races to because of the way the
boats back and forth.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
And I quite like they've got the speed as well.
You can see who's seeking to see who's on the side.
That's the first time I've seen the speed thing on
the side yeah, the speed and see who's catching apples?
Great dropping ass min you With the rowing, I always
feel sorry because there's always some fucking dude from Congo
who's about a kilometer behind him right now, and oh,
poor bastard.
Speaker 1 (23:21):
And also in our men's what this double single skulls,
the one where they're only holding one or each. Oh yep,
they were racing against the Swiss team had two dudes
from Yale University and they were in the Yale rowing
team for ages and then now they're rowing for Switzerland.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
And I was like, that's right, this is a big thing.
And those were a wanky.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Meanwhile, the US team done there ass they were about
three hundred meters behind the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
And I also liked that.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Obviously they wear their watch so they can keep time,
keep track of various different metrics. Our man in the
front of our boat, he put the watch on the oar.
He didn't even have it on his arm. It's just wrong,
the thing and checking it every now and then as
it came past on the oar. So yeah, that the swimming, obviously,
this is the only time in my life that I
watched swimming.
Speaker 3 (24:08):
You reckon, you could biscuit behind a rowing apple. Look,
I'm gotta be honest with you.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
Last time I tried water skiing, it just about sunk
the boat that was trying to pull me out of
the water.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
So I see biscuiting because yeah, you could just see
a couple of kids on a biscuit behind the eight.
Speaker 1 (24:24):
Oh, a couple of kids on a biscuit. Yeah, but
I mean they'd want to be up to almost full
telt before God, it'd just be the start would be tough.
Speaker 3 (24:33):
Yeah, you've got to get a planing, don't you. Yeah,
start would be very tough. Yeah, probably could maybe maybe
foiling behind because once you're up on the foil is
very little resistance.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
Oh yeah, you could foil behind it, yeah for sure.
But the basket it would be a bit different. I
just the only the only down, Like obviously, rowing came
from just back in the day when you had to
actually row a boat out to a bigger ship to
go where.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
All vikings were headed to the north of England to
the rape and pillage.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
And they're like, I reckon, we were way quicker than
you guys. Fuck off, all right, line them up, let's go.
I don't know how that has persisted as a support
through until today. It's so bizarre, it is. It is weird.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
If you're a man from Mars, he came in and
go what why? But then they also looked at the
pestol shooters and going Jesus, yeah, that's right, these are
your best shooters. Looking at those pistol shooters obviously not
very athletic. They stand dead still. I don't know how
we've ended up back here again. If you're in a
shootout at like a laser tag place with an actual pistol,
do you reck and you could beat one of them?
(25:30):
You reckon?
Speaker 1 (25:31):
You could get them before they got you.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Nah, No, No, there's something there's something unhinged about all
of them that they're so psychotic. Yeah, they would be
so still in the corner, yes, just popping you off, like.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
All right, that'll do it for the Olympics for today.
All of our athletes that are in action later on
today and tomorrow are up on our Instagram. Yep, we're
pumping out when and where you can watch each of those.
But it's ugly times because they zach opposite time in
the world from us, So AnyWho go and check that

(26:29):
come back with yours please.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
Yours please, brought you by Leader Home of the LASN.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Just afford to get through today?
Speaker 1 (26:39):
Lane yep, and the first one goes like this, yours
please get a Failers.
Speaker 4 (26:44):
Are we going to talk about the NRLW over the weekend?
And I didn't watched that before, but watching the Broncos
versus Eeles game, oh all on their full punchers, there's
bloody good watching actually, And you've got to really talk
about the the post try celebrations is pretty choreographed. Was
(27:05):
actually quite entertaining watching, all right, fun.
Speaker 3 (27:11):
Yeah no, this was good.
Speaker 1 (27:12):
So it was one of the Eels players got lined
up and it was a simultaneous hip drop and hid
high on this one player and so then her sister,
who plays in the same team, fired up. Was just like,
what this's as fuck. She comes and pushes one girl
off with her hand right on her face and then
the hip drop e and it was uas salah. I'm
(27:35):
definitely not pronounce it correctly. She's the sister of Frank Paul,
who played for the Roosters. He won the l back
in twenty thirteen. They just started throwing bones. It was
just all on for young and old good stuff.
Speaker 3 (27:46):
It was.
Speaker 1 (27:46):
It was good and I think because I was watching
the footage and I think it was Gus Gould commentating,
and you could tell him he was just been like, oh.
Speaker 3 (27:55):
Here we go, Oh, here we go.
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It's on now, it's on now, like he was loving it.
Then they showed the slow replay and there was just
like a full couple of full on punches to the
cheek and he's like, oh opsy oopsy And in the
end they both just got synbin for ten minutes. I
expect when they see the replays they're gonna get quite
lengthy bands for that.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
But yeah, it's just good.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
To see a bit of biff in the NROLW God
bless them. Another call here yours.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Howdy lads.
Speaker 5 (28:24):
Frano here, just calling in regards to commentary to the Olympics.
You said you guys have had too much on your
plate to do every single one, so I thought would
narrow it down a bit. How about just commentating the
Olympic villa. Who's shagging who? What mischief? Skinning up? You know,
what's everyone's body count? Just you know, make it a
(28:44):
bit easier for everyone. Plus, I'd love to hear here
which one about.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I'm quite glad they got cut off there. Yeah it
was a tractor, you know. They sounded like he was
an attractor of some description or a harvester of some description.
Interesting when the whole village and the socialization because as
because all the athletes finish at different times.
Speaker 1 (29:05):
Yeah, so well the sevens guys finished before the opening ceremony.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah, so they hit it hard for the next two weeks.
Do I stick out? I don't think they were on
the boat. Do they stick around? Do you stick around? Hey,
you stick around? Oh yeah, you totally would. But obviously
all the judo guys are ready to mingle they're done. Yeah.
The judo guys, I mean a lot of the swimmers
they're done. Yes, few of those guys. But then again,
you got and they So you've got a mixture of
people tearing the village a new one literally, yeah, and
(29:31):
then ones that are just trying to keep their distance.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
It reminds me of like the end of your university
year when everyone was finishing their exams at different times.
So then, but if you were the last one and
everyone else was like going for it.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
You'd always feel like, oh, should I just have a
one got?
Speaker 1 (29:48):
How easily could you derail your entire Olympics. But if
I was over there and I'd trained for four years
and the judo boys were on the chot because they
had already finished, but I still had my one eyed
still shooting the cup, I reckon I would to I
would have gone healthily. I'm never gonna be in Paris
with these guys again.
Speaker 3 (30:07):
Imagine if you were in the village and a real
breath of fresh air came up they just finished their event.
What are you up to tonight? I've got two tickets
to the Moulin Rouge. I've been spotting you from the other
side of the room. Yeah, you know, I think we
would have a good night together. You've got your shooting
the next morning, have some d one children. You're never gonna,
(30:28):
never gonna come across the scenario again.
Speaker 1 (30:30):
You're like, so you're telling me, as Bicky Wrestler comes
up to me and he says, I've got us get
to the Moulan room.
Speaker 3 (30:37):
Exactly what I'm saying. How could you resist because he's
gonna have you anyway? You know what.
Speaker 1 (30:45):
Esville I don't know, Okay, class, Yeah, absolutely, we're talking
about me. Yes, I would, Yeah, one hundred percent. I
guess that's what makes these what separates these people from
the rest of us.
Speaker 3 (30:57):
Yeah, the temptation must be just mind by and then
it's just built up, and then you see it at
the closing ceremony and you're like, oh my god, there's
gonna it's gonna be like a painter's radio around this village.
Speaker 1 (31:08):
A lot of sunglasses going on around that time. Yeah,
just like we said, we did offer, and there were
talks about us going over there, And I actually think
that reporting on this kind of thing is exactly why
we're not there right now, because this is what the Olympic,
the New Zealand Olympic Committee does not want Yeah, correct
Nigel Avery. The last thing he wants shift to Michon
as us going out there's but fuck do you hear
(31:29):
what these guys got up to last night?
Speaker 3 (31:31):
That's another word the shift the micheal between ripper and
shift of micheal. When whenever do you say shift to Michele, Well,
only when he's in the ripper you just say he's
the dude in charge.
Speaker 1 (31:42):
I know, I don't know. I don't know what we
end up with all the French words in there as well?
Another call here, yours, please get.
Speaker 6 (31:49):
An idea for the halftime at the rugby there will
be slightly more interesting. Why don't we get some animal
fighting going on, but a cock fighting? Maybe go grape
some lines and some gazelles from the Auckland Zoo. I'm
sure the TAB would love to get on board, and
I'm sure everyone would love it. Hello.
Speaker 1 (32:12):
Well, first of all, great idea. Why we don't get
the gazelles is because my partner looks after the gazelles
at so it's gonna cause me more problems that it's worth. Yeah,
but I think the halftime show animal fight it's a
great idea, and I think that perhaps that the the
Olympic version would be you nominate a native animal from
your country. Yeah, and then you just put them all
(32:34):
in sort of royal rumble styles.
Speaker 3 (32:35):
We'd suck though, because we'd have like flightless birds in there.
Oh no, you can check a sea lion in there.
Oh okay, you know we got a native sea lion,
are we?
Speaker 6 (32:44):
Well.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
I don't think they're introduced.
Speaker 1 (32:48):
I don't think someone came over and was just like,
you know what brings us gorse, bring us some possums.
A couple of firits are stowtness sea lion I think,
I mean, I don't have to from here, but they're around.
Speaker 3 (33:01):
I reckon, I reckon. A kiwi would go all right, though,
because it would just be like the one quiet dude
wacking off in the corner, and everyone will kill each
other on in the in the field, and then there
must be this keewi in the corner going that's a
good point, terrified in the corner, and no one will
even engage with the flightless fat bird, that's right, And
it'll be all the light tigers and lions and snakes
(33:21):
going hammer and tongs.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Oh yeah, if I'm if I'm in Alaskan grizzly and
I'm looking around the room and I see the Central
African Republics put forward a gorilla. Yes, I'm like one
that ki We'll get round. That gorilla is going to
be a problem.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
That little fat thing in the corner, Yeah, pleasuring itself.
I can deal with that later. We'll get back to
that thing. But the gorilla that needs to be stopped
right now. Botswana's sent over a lion. You know. It's like,
well American's got an eagle flying around just picking people off.
I mean that's an issue for the Kiwi. The eagle
coming and the ball like traditionally and just picking it up.
Speaker 1 (33:58):
Yeah, yeah, it'd be so lame. Meanwhile, there's a salt
saltwater crocodile Australia.
Speaker 3 (34:07):
Australia have got so many like what do you pick
Those castle wearries look terrifying.
Speaker 1 (34:11):
Caries are terrifying. Yeah, so you got those things as well.
The noise they make rattles your chest.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
The yeah. See, like Australia got their own they've got
their own division.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
They yeah, they could, they could run their own whole competition. No,
I think would be I think we'd be in deep ship.
It's a beer, It's gonna be a I've spent a
lot of time thinking about animals fighting against other animals.
If you if you think or grizzly bear, if you
think that a gorilla could be a grizzly beer, just
go and have a look at how at the size difference.
Grizzly beers are so much bigger.
Speaker 3 (34:40):
Polar bear smaller than a grizzly bear.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
Yeah, probably a bit more athletic, but more vicious.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
But you can an elephant could take down a grizzly
just standing on its heat or something. Oh yes, I.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Did get served a video on Instagram of an elephant
standing on this trainer a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 3 (34:59):
That really is your feet is wrong?
Speaker 1 (35:02):
Really interrupted my sleeping pattern on a Tuesday. M Yeah,
I think an elephant, kid, because I've always I always
like to think about what's the biggest animal, like a
beaten one on one fight, you know, I never one
always immediately jumps to like cows because like they're so placid.
Speaker 3 (35:18):
How are you gonna kill a cow that's one hundred
punches to the head and you've got broken hands? Yeah,
that's right, you're not.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
Yeah, and look, I'm not too proud to admit that
I've once punched a sheep in the head and it
just broke my hand and the sheep didn't even notice it.
So you're not killing a cow or a sheep or
anything like that. I think I could starve out a giraffe.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Starve out a draft. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
I feel like I can last longer without eating than
a drafte.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
Okay, so this is not a fight to the death.
This is just you steering at a girafe. It's me
and a draft get locked in a cage and you're like,
we're not going to fight.
Speaker 1 (35:49):
I just wanted to walk out once, okay. Yeah, or
I went until it lies down. Eventually it's going to
get so emaciated it lies down. Yeah, and then really,
no good chokehold in another.
Speaker 3 (36:00):
Doesn't your partner look after the draft? She does, She's
convinced I couldn't do it. I reckon I could, I
reckon I could. All right, we're off into the weeds here.
One last caller call of yours.
Speaker 7 (36:11):
Please, Hey, boys. Regarding the sevens men's team, I think
the selectors are currently doing the nation and the fans
a disservice by not calling in the Avengers. We need
to build out a super team like USA Basketball and
bring in the likes of Mwanga and Barrett. I know
it's harsh on players who play sevens year and year out,
but one civil medal from three Olympics doesn't stack up
to our rugby pedigree. Change is required to win.
Speaker 3 (36:35):
Yeah, that was so was pointed. That was one of
the most well thought out voice spellers. It is actually finished,
finished in time. Ye wrapped it up nicely. That's what
we're in the industry called hitting the post. Yeah, he's
nailed that, and I agree with him. I agree with him.
Why why didn't we have Richie Mullen there? Why didn't
we have Buddy Barrett and there Join mac Ardie.
Speaker 1 (36:57):
Yes, you're telling me they'd rather be playing Fiji and
San Diego. No, they'd rather be in Paris winning a
gold medal exactly. Yeah, and look, I yes, it would
be harsh to those guys on the seven circuit, you know,
week in week out, unfortunately for them, unless you're better. Yeah,
then you know these other guys.
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Addie Savia himself would be be terrifying, wouldn't that he
would be.
Speaker 1 (37:20):
Yeah, he's he looks like a sevens player. I think
we have come away way off the boil from where
our sevens team was, you know, when we're we're in
the DJ Forbes era. I don't think we're quite there anymore,
as evidenced by the by the But but I mean
S BW did come into that team and they didn't
do too well either, So but I don't know. I
(37:41):
think I think we should definitely do that next time.
Speaker 3 (37:44):
Is it going to be there next time? Sevens? Is
that a permanent Olympic sport? Now?
Speaker 1 (37:49):
Well, what's that the third suppose Olympics? I suppose it is.
I mean I would I would love to hear the
argument about why break Dancings in there and rugby sevens
isn't you know.
Speaker 3 (38:00):
Isn't parkhor in there as well? And as yet I
think so? Yeah.
Speaker 1 (38:05):
And then the wall climbing, I don't mind the wall
climents quite good fun. That is actually quite good to watch.
It doesn't make too much sense. I feel like they're
pulling them up with that rope. That's what I'm honest,
A bit of performance enhancement. I don't know.
Speaker 3 (38:17):
Yes, I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (38:18):
I think the bat signal should go up for the
Avengers of the Sevens. But that'll do us for today,
But send in your voicemails overnight and tomorrow. We want
to know who you think is the candidates for the
Greatest New Zealander of all time. We'll put a bracket
together and we will debate it over the coming month. Also,
just one last thing, we're actually on YouTube. I don't
(38:39):
know if we've yeah, we've been putting these up for
ages and I just don't think anyone's ever mentioned it.
But if you prefer watching your podcast on YouTube, if
you want to see what.
Speaker 3 (38:48):
We look like, oh god posture, if.
Speaker 1 (38:50):
You want to see the awful, awful posture that goes
I blame the cheers and the export Big Gudens Studio.
It's definitely the cheers cheers suck. Then you can do that.
You can just check it out on the YouTube. Other
than that, we'll not sting on the head. We'll see
you tomorrow for another episode of the Gender Podcast.
