Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live for the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra the Beer for Here. This is
the Agenda Podcast for October the third.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Export a Culture.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Mashallah, I have returned from the Lahaibi. I'm back from
my foray into the desert. I landed yesterday at about lunchtime.
I'm struggling to readjust how many Western.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Life, how many people came up to you and just
unloaded an Arabic to you.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The first day I got there, I made sure I
went and got my haircut. I got the bed tightened there,
I got the tight fade going on. A Syrian gentleman
cut my hair, either.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Syrian or Lebanese. When it comes to the barbers in
the Middle.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
East, yeah, Moroccan, any sort of North Africa Arab state,
they'll sort of cut your hair and sort you out.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So then, but I was in Dubai at that stage,
so not a lot of Arab speakers there. It was
when I went to Aman and bought the dish that
you see me sitting in right now with the traditional
head scarff and straight after that, I chucked this on
walk straight out everyone, all of the people in the
market because they could spot my friends from a mile
away and they would say, you know, hello to them,
(01:13):
what country are you from? They would just start berating
me in Arabic, like.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
How can we wrap these guys off? Yeah? Give us
how we wrapped these guys off?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, It's quite funny because in Dubai there is obviously
enough Australians and we for all intents and purposes, when
we're overseas, we are Australian that they could spot us,
or at least my friends. And we had these guys
trying to sell what is it like, perfume and shit
like that and spices.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And as we will past, this guy goes hello.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It was the funniest like impersonation of an Australian that
I've ever heard Hello. It was actually fucking terrifying. So
we didn't buy anything off the habibi there. I went
over to Oman, which was like proper the people that
em meant to Dubai. It's basically Disneyland meets Las Vegas.
It's crazy and no one there is actually from there.
(02:08):
Everyone's on the run from something. Yeah, yeah, that's the
feeling I get. Definitely running from something. I think something
like listens, twenty percent of the population in Dubai from
Dubai em.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Rai it's way less than that. Yeah, it might be
about ten.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So anyway, went over to Iman, proper Arabic country. They
dubbed me Manaya been Raushi el shit in the wadi
because you you shit in the wadi because I've developed
a rash. You talked yesterday on the podcast about how
when I'm away on the road, I developed like I
look like Imperor Palpatine. By the end of it, I'm rashy.
(02:44):
My eyes are sunk it into the back of my head.
So by the time I showed up to Iman, that's
what I looked like. And I had some sort of
stomach as you're going on as well as like, hi
am going to ship in the waddy, which is like
a desert oasis thing that you go swimming in.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah. So then I flew back yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I'm sure you and Jerry talked about it, but that
seventeen hour flight is savage.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It's just there's something about you forget about it after
a while. It's like child burst. It is. Yeah, you
don't forget the pain of it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The first six hours, seven hours fly by and you're like,
I'm doing well here, and then it just grinds to
a halt.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
From there, it's like a I don't know, like a
time chamber. Do you have any good neighbors?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh my god, my neighbors. I had these fucking hell
I could see them. They were so you could spot them.
Everyone sitting on the plane as these two guys were
getting on, was like, please not me, Please not me,
Please not me.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Because he walked straight past me.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
He was like staring at the numbers, clearly had no
idea where the fuck he was sitting, walked straight past me,
had an argument with the guy about six rows behind me,
realized he was in the wrong, came back, sat down
next to me, as like fucking we go. They couldn't
figure out They didn't speak a loack of English, couldn't
figure out the display thing in front of them, so
they never watched.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
The guy watched the raw dog. No, he didn't rule dog.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It the only thing he could figure out as the
default channel on Emirates as like an Emmorati propaganda channel. Yes,
and he got stuck on that with no headphones and
just watched the hat for sixteen he busted out a book.
So an hour and a half into the flight, my
man reaches over to grab a juice over the top
of me and just tips orange juice all down my leg.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I'm like, fuck, beauty, here.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
We go then, because the sun was up, but everyone
was starting to go to sleep, so they you know how,
they put the blue lights on and blah blah blah,
everyone's going to sleep. My man couldn't figure out the light,
so he just opened his curtain and just blinded about
seven people. I had to explain to him how to
get the light going, had to shut the fucking thing.
And so then we got about six hours left in
(04:44):
the flight. We get served a meal. He tries lifting
it up and eating it, and he just tips sauce
again down my leg. And then what I didn't know
was all over the blanket that I had sleeping. So
it wasn't until I tried picking the blanket up again
that I found tomato sauce all over as like fucking hew.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Soon as we got.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Off the plane, I could see these guys being like,
where do we go?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
How do we blah blah blah. I was like firelock
eyes with them.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
They're gonna ask me to help them, and after the
sixteen hours they just put me through.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
They can get fucked. I'd actually get I just had half.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Of mine to try and get them deported, just like, hey,
we don't need these guys in here.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
So we get off the plane.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
We go through customs, and I'm like, anytime I go overseas,
it's customary to bring the tobleron back into the office.
You'll notice they weren't any today. It's not because I
didn't buy any I did. Let me tell you, they're
doing a two for one deal at customs at the
moment Doug Get sucked them by forty eight Bucksits for
two toblerones. They'll throw one in for free, but fuck,
(05:39):
you're still spending fifty bucks on chocolate. So I buy those.
I go to film my declaration card out go to
get my back. I bump into Mitch Mcleanigan, who was
on my flight. He was doing commentary for like one
of the world feasts over there. I see Adam Milne
was on my flight. Jacob Duffy was on my flight
as well, so I guess they'd all been over there
(06:01):
with the black Caps and then came back.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Mitch was in cattle class with me.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Jacob and Adam were not presumably in first class because
they look fresh.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, because the rest of them came back last night
on a later flight.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Oh right, yeah, okay, yeah, So anyway, I go over
and have a yander. Mitch grab my bag and then
he goes, do you have to declare all that chocolate
you brought us?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Funk? Where is it?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And I realized I'd put it down when I filled
my declaration card went back to find it. Someone buddy
swiped it. Ah, and I was like, I'm not paying
another fifty bucks. Seve on the office can get fucked.
But I have heard that they've had You've had plenty
of No, we bought the tabla. Okay, when'd you guys
get back Friday?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Friday morning? Oh Friday afternoon. Yes, we had the week
into convalesce. Yeah, but we're still We're still on Struggle Street.
But like I say, a lot of people say a
lot of people will be thinking crime River.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Oh rightly.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So I wanted to touch on the bend to flow
off the back of October fist because I've seen people
post on socialmediate that they've had it as well.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
It's definitely a thing. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But thankfully in Dubai this very very little restrictions on
what over the countermedications you could buy. So I was
on like weapons grade puto if you dreamed for that
whole week.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Did you bring some bag? Yeah? I did.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I put it in my bag, so I'll give you
some of that as well. It's great you could get
It's basically myth and fetament, the stuff that they've got
over there. You just get mythed up and you're just away.
It's a miracle drug.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I was outraged that we had banned it for so long.
It's actually the only thing that genuinely fixes you.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, the only thing that makes you soldier on. Yeah,
you're away laughing.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So I got home. I tried to stay up as
long as I could. Last night, crashed out, died, work up.
This morning five am. Cat brought a rat into the house.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
There's a gift for you, you've missed you. Here's a
giant street.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It was a big barsard too. I don't know where
he got it from or how he got it over
the fence and up and into the house, but yeah,
what have I missed over the last sort of three
or four days that the.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
It was the victory lap while they're still going on
radio herd Aki finishes tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
There's five laps. They've done five long laps, but the.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Last lap is tomorrow. But I suppose the big news
was the Saudi resignation. Yes, that happened in the same
hotel room as the Ross Taylor boning in gaul before
they flew out some demons in that hotel. And also
the beef, the beef that's starting between Ireland and the
All Blacks which started with Johnny sex Pess's book, and
(08:33):
another Irish players weighed in saying that Rique's a piece
of shit and Johnny Sexton's the greatest gift to rugby.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
So it's adding some real spice to that.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
The next game against Ireland on the November the night
on the Northern Tour on the Northern Tourist, so that's.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Kind of ramping up.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
And this old Irish player only played six tests for Ireland,
but he's weighed on some shitty podcast uh and way
and just basically piled in on you. I saw that,
So that's going to be it's going to be interesting
when goes on that way too, because he's the kind
of guy who's not gonna he's not gonna go sorry guys, sorry,
he is going to double down.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yeah, one hundred. It's good.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It's good for the game. But this is what we
could play about with rugby. I know, like it's so boring.
We don't know the players very well.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But it has to wait until a book in a retirement,
this is the thing. It has to wait into a book.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
And he didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
They could have come out with that at the post
match press conference. Yeah, yeah, it just got buried that
there was just a bit of a bet of tour
and for everyone knew that. Brady said four more years.
Went to Peter Marney who called sam Kin a ship.
Richie McCall, Yeah, so.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
We love that ship. That's that's what we thrive on.
Everyone a gentleman's game. It's like, you know, come on,
we need to be better than that.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Because what did you only say to enjoy your retirement
you can't, which, yeah I miss your playing, Yeah, I
enjoy your retirement. It was a little unnecessary considering you're
just beating him. Like if you if you see it
at the start of the game, hey tomorrow, don't miss
your fly that and enjoy your retirement.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
The start of the game, once he knocked them out.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
It would have been, but there was so much tension
in that game, so much tension.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You would be losing your mind. Even the way it finished. Yeah,
that's that was right at the end. There was the penalty.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It was and even Johnny Sexton's still banging on about
the penalty that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Yeah, White shouldn't have been a penalty. Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I know, it's ridiculous. Great promo for the book, though,
I love.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Lie buy it though, No, I'll be buying. I'll be
buying the a cc Ormanek, which is out.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
On I can't even read is that on Tuesday? Tuesday?
It's available in all good bookstores acc Almanek.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
What so, whenever athletes really, and we're not athletes, but
whenever athletes released a book, there's always a clip that
comes out of it, and except obviously in this instance,
particularly in New Zealand, it's the what rico? You only
say to him. Sonny Bell's one was the funniest. His
one was I didn't love my wife when.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I married it. We even got a line, have we
I know what's what's our one going to be?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
We need to find Let's just say Jason Hoyt threw
it on the ground when I gave it to him
and said, I told you not to put that in there,
and he walked off. I suppose that that said he
threw it on the ground.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
He didn't want it. Oh, this is the actual YEA
on the ground. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
There's the book that Jason Hoyt has one thing to
do with. Yeah, and he actually says it on the back.
His quote says I want to distance myself, but he
literally does.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'd like to distance myself as far away from the
post as possible from the contents of this book.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
And that is not Yeah, that's not a lie. That
is not a lie.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
That was that that quote was a joke. But when
we go I gave him the book, he didn't. He's
not heavy.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I think he spent on it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I guess you don't get to decide yourself what the
what the line is?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, what the line is? People will find it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, this will find it. That's actually that's true. They'll
never flick through. They'll let us know what the quote is.
It'll sell us books, it'll sell us books. Yeah, but
out Tuesday. Ideal ideal gift for for Christmas. So yeah,
it's better too early for Christmas. It's October. No, it's
(11:57):
not too for Christmas. It's not too early.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Do yourself favor great coffee table book. You can pick
it up any in any chapter and read. Have a
read of it. It's full of the most lunatic stories
that we've been up to. There's a few lies in there,
but you know, you decide which is which is fact
and which is fiction.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
We're about to discuss the delivery we had in the office.
Speaking of Christmas presents.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh yes, yes, the Rebel Sport, Yes, e y c
range oh man. The The new bat that we've releasing
this year is a backyard cricket bat, a plastic hollowed
out backyard cricket bat which I can describe as what
David Warner uses. Yeah, it's the same shape as a
David Water crooker barrough. It's basically thick ass. But it's
(12:41):
a key cricket bat.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So it's plastic, just like your picture, your classic plastic
cricketyard backyard cricket bat, but is massive.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
It's called the Punisher.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
It's called the punisher, punish you by name, Punisha by nature. Yeah,
this is the first thing that you're going to reach
for if you are going down to the beach, if
you're going down to the bad you see this thing,
like yeah, yeah, my cousin, my nephew, my kid is
getting cut.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
We've got the entire by C range, actually balls, many
mini bats, mini sets, the whole B y C set
which we're doing to pay at forward, so everyone you buy,
go one goes to charity.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
They're going to all be available end of October at
Rebel Sports, so look out for that.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I'd suggest kind of Black Monday, Black Friday, Cyber Monday
is the way to get in those ones.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
They'll go pretty quick. There's a great range, actually it's tremendous.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
We've got the swing balls, we've got soft on the
globe ball, there's the reaction ball. Have you seen that one,
which is basically shaped like a meteorite and just bounced
in the direction.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
So that's quite a good one. We have got your
Christmas sorted. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'm going to punch a bunch of that ship for
my Christmas shopping. Actually, all right, let's talk. Let's take
a quick break and we'll come back with some vaguely
sports adjacent ship what's going on on New Zealand Rugby League,
Auckland Rugbyukland Rugby and New ze Own Rugby League of
Wayne In as well.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
So from what I understand, a new CEO came in
who and she's gone. She's come from a corporate background
and come in and going okay, there's no processes, there's
no governance, there's no nothing going on here at Auckland
Rugby League, Auckland Rugby League. I wouldn't say wealthy, but
they're not too bad off because I've got the Carlor
Park Trust which those who don't know where Carlo Park is,
(14:29):
it's pretty much downtown Auckland Stanley Street. They sold Carlor
Park and the apartments on it now so they made
a wad of money.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
So it's where the it is where the.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Tennis kind of as ye down further towards the water
from there. So they they got they set up a
trust which has a bit of money in it. So
they've got a bit of money floating around. But they've
come along and the new CEO has come along and
said this is not right. There's dodgy shit going on
these conflicts of interest. So she's can mentioned a PwC report, yes,
(15:02):
which is not cheap. And so the first thing that
the current board have gone now that you're wasting money,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
PwC come back with an initial report, I will tell
you who's wasted.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And so the three of the three board members have
been suspended due to just gross conflicts of interest of
them using their own accounting firms. One of the employees
has been accused of spending one hundred and eighty thousand
dollars in fake invoices and credit cards and spending it
at scott City. So it's up that it's all a
shit show. But then the board of Auckland Rugby obviously
(15:34):
Oork Rugby League have appealed to New Zealand Rugby League
and New Zealand Rugby League have then sent a note
to all of the rugby league clubs in Auckland saying
that the current governance of Auckland we're not happy with it.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Are you the new CEO or this?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So that's an old boys club going on infid and
New Zealand Rugby League said that we don't believe that
the current board is viable.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Orka Rugby League come out and you can't govern anything
to do with that new zeon Ra but you can
go fuck off. And so this battle starting between News
and rugby League. But the final PwC report I think
has just been released and the chairman of the board
is arguing it from Ukaway League. But he's the one
that's using his own accounting firm to do the accounts
and tens of thousands of dollars of being build to
(16:18):
his own company without declaring the conflict.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
It's just messy as all bugglers.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
It's basically what you would expect from a PwC investigation
into the alternative commentary.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Oh my god, where's the checks and balances?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah that's true, but yeah, it's it's probably what needs
to happen because rugby league is growing massively in New
Zealand and you can't have a mickey mouse operation, especially
in Auckland. And that's I think they've just been running
it like that and the past is that'll do, it'll do.
And I think this new CEO has come in from
corporate background goes this is fuck. There's no absolutely no processes,
(16:53):
checks and balances in this organization, which actually has quite
a bit of cash. And it also details the fuck
when they bought the Warriors and lost four million dollars man, yeah, yeah,
and the chairman went out on his own, negotiated the
deal and board it without consulting the board like shit
like that.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Yeah, and then it went shit. They lost four million dollars,
which is quite a big amount. It's not nothing.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, So apparently there's about seven million dollars that's gone
all yeah, allegedly.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So this is very timely because it needs to be
sorted out because you know, the Warriors, despite the disappointing season,
they just had still on the up. You would have
to say the pendulum is still swinging up. And they
just had the deli Am Awards last night. Yes, Keywi's
cleaned up, the Supreme Edinvandil Blake was proper the year.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I know he's back to baby, but were it year
back to back? Proper the year.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Jerome Hughes was the Dali m Player of the Year,
which is incredible. He will be the Kiwis halfback. He
had a gun season. I think he also benefited from
the fact that Cleary was out for a while. Hines
was out for a while. His own mate Monster was
out for a while, so he had to really pick
up there.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
But he was.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
He's been a gun these last few years, so it's
incredible to see him just poke his nose out and
win it.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
A better podcast would know this. Other keywis that have
won the daim Well, Seawan Johnson win it.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Seawan Johnson's never won. He should have won it last year,
but he was pipped at the post by Caleb Ponger,
who's also technically a Kiwi. The only Warrior to ever
win the Dali m is Roger Tui vas as Shik
in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Garry Freeman. Did he ever? I don't think he did. No,
I don't think he did. About Benji Marshall. Benji Marshall
never won it? No, Okay, so this is quite a
big deal. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I think if Benji Marshall was gonna win, it would
have been that year was at five when they won
the behind the Back. Yeah, but they happened in the
Grand finals, so that the award had already been doled out.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
So yeah, this is this is huge. Stoked for Jerome.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Here's it. He said in his acceptance speech. He never
thought he was going to win this and you know
you wouldn't he was. He was like a second string
fallback that they brought in when Billy Slater was leaving
the Storm though, were like, let's just get like five
or six dirds and see if any of them can
replace him. He was one of them and then he
ended up being the half back and yeah, he's balled
(19:10):
out this season. Dally am very deserving. Ali Carto, this
is always hard to stomach.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
He was.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
He was a warrior just a few years ago and
he won Second Rower of the Year. Could have done
with them this year?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Did they pick two second rowers of the year?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
They do? Okay, Yeah, so he was one of them.
I forget who the other one was. Crichton Angus Crichton.
So yeah, that's what's going on in the National Rugby League.
And later on in the podcast, we're going to place
a bit on the NRL Grand Final which is this weekend, Yes, Sunday.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Night nine and Kyzi are on the all on that one.
Yeah you'll you'll be right by the Yeah, I'll be
okay by them.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I'll be back, yeah, yeah, I'll be back. What's going
on with the America's Cup. Are we are we racing you?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
No, No, it's still the Louis Vitoine. I actually on
the flight home watched two races live on the Immirates
Live Score. It's quite cool. No, it's six four to
Great Britains team over prior to Pirelli. Yeah, the Italian
So six four, they only need to win one more
(20:12):
because it's the first to seven.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I think it's the first of seven. Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So yeah, it looks like New Zealand are going to
come up against old mate Ben Ainsley, who famously had
an argument with Blad Chook member in the s l
GP game. You're so arrogant if you win an America's Cup,
you think you can do everything.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Blead tis like, I shut up, dick here.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
So that looks like that, and then that starts, I
think in about ten days time with the Actual Americas,
Actual America, Actual America's Cup against Enios. I'm presuming any
we're going to win unless old Jimmy Spittle has a
great comeback.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, well it's happened before, hasn't it.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
So do you go six to four, one to go
or it could be potentially three.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
We'll pick that back up in ten days when it
actually starts in earnest. I saw this announcement come through
this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Did it? Was it just announced today? Lou Vincent's in
the Black Clash. Yep.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Great to see. Great to see Lou Vincent back in
the Black Clash. I know he got presented as his
black cap hundredth cap a few minuts ago as well,
which had been under a desk at a players association
for about ten years. Yeah, Pedals gave it to him.
Pedals gave it to him. So good to see Lou
coming back. The rehabilitation of Lou he got. I think
(21:28):
he's got my line massively.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
He got treated. He was the only one who put
his hand out and said I've done wrong. I did it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I did it, and he got absolutely roasted for it
while everyone else, everyone else just ran for the hills. Yeah,
didn't answer phones and just lied. So good to see
him come back. It'll be good for him. I know
he's a he's got a young family now, he's living
up North, loving life.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
He's going to a Beetha to play in a charity game.
I saw that. It's like a T ten match, and
I love this shit.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I've only just realized in the last sort of like
two or three years, what's going on with those old
boys games.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Yes, it is just a piss up. I don't know
what it took me so long to figure this out.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And he's he's still in good neck, he's still got
a good eye, even though look it doesn't really matter.
I don't really bowl that fast. But I bowled to
him in the nets up and kept him oval last
year for the November Test match, which has happening again
this year in Hamilton, and I bowled a juicy half volley.
I hit it so hard back to me that it
went past me.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
If I if it had actually.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Been at my body, I think I would have died
because by the time it went passed me, I had
no idea and he hit it so hard so would
have gone through.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Yeah. Great to save lou back for the Black players.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Hopefully they mike him up and we can talk to
him on the commentary because he's a good man and
he deserves the second chance.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Unfortunately for him, Chris Gale is playing in the same match,
so I think if anyone's getting micd it's definitely Chris Game.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I know, but Chris Gales on Team Rugby.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Oh yeah, so we'll get a couple, we'll get a
couple of chances.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
So really, yeah, that drip feeding the teamless through, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well you've got Vi Tori, you got Karen Reed of
the captains, you've got Anton Devsich. Who's going to be
in team cricket again, I'd say the Marshalls, Hamish Marshall,
and I'm sure why James isn't getting a run, but
Hamish's it seems odd. The herey Jeff will probably be
there again. I would say for Team Rugby, that kind
of drip feed up because I think they really need
(23:15):
to get the services of Jock McKenzie, Yeah, from the Auckland.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
One who's playing for both Auckland and the Blues.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, and he's quick, he's rapid and he'll put the
ships up the cricket players.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And I think he's playing rugby this year. I'm not sure,
or he's not playing cricket one of the two.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
But the game is a bit later.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
It's Jen nineteen and Super Rugby starts two weeks later
or three weeks later, so.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You're probably not getting the run.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, well this is disappointing because then he got Jordy Barrett,
who we know can is Philly rapid.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yeah, Reuben Love has been announced he is playing.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Okay, well they might, they might, They might loosen that
up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
He was probably one of my favorite players last year.
That catch that he took over the boundary non caul
but it wasn't a catch, and he.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Did annoy people like Jason Spices because he did the
gritty afterwards and didn't really and Jason Spice very a man,
a man of a man of very simple tastes.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Was he did the gritty afterwards, and then when they
interviewed him, he tried to be all humble about it. Oh,
look it didn't count, you know, because my foot went
over the rope. So I don't really want to talk
about it, Like, hey, there's a ship like this is
a bullshit game. Yeah, it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. Also,
you fucking did the gritty after it. Don't pretend that
you didn't care that you did that.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, I'd say Jason Spice will be back stuff like that.
He played for Team Rugby because he's a handy cricketer.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
What's it going to take for an ACC member to
get included in one of the teams.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I've actually asked us before, but it's too at that stage,
is too humiliating.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
How to a dead guy was on there? I know,
and that's one of the reasons.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I knew I'd say that I'm a one hundred times
better than And they've asked Jeremy a number of times,
but he's he again, he's the same. He's terrified that
he's going to go out faceoo ball, get out for
gold dark and just get rinse.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I think what'll be way worse than that would be fielding.
Oh yeah, that's another thing. Yeah, because you get older,
you just lose all depth.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Perceptions gone, Yeah, you can't really throw, like I spay
a lot of cricket. I pride myself in my catching.
Now bull goes up, I'm like, I don't know where
that is.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Nothing rams that point home harder than the trade's living
that we played at the start of the year. Eleven
drop catches, even drop catches, obviously, I think it was
closer to fifteen. But more than that, it was the
amount of hamstrings that got to abductors, ham strings and
ruins groins here, and the poor physio that was down there.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
She was working.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Lee Baker described her as fearless, and you would have
to be to work on all those middle aged men
who yeah, you're right, you see it, and then you
can't do it.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
So yeah, I don't think, no, I I think maybe
ten years ago. If that cash has started ten years ago,
when the acc started, I reckon there had been a
few of us that would have been into it, but
just been too old and too long in the tooth,
So I'd stick to just begging them behind the micro.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Tickets are on sale for Black Clash. Oh yes, so
they're on sale.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Now, by the way, and there is a party zone again,
the Export Ultra Party Zone. There's only seven hundred tickets
available for this. For the zone, you've got to get
in quick. As part of the ticket, you get a
set of the ship expert steat of the ship hat,
a party shirt, a sports.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Here, some snacker Changy's, and a couple of complimentary beers.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
So automatically that's about one hundred dollars worth of value
for that ticket. So there's only seven hundred. Last year
it sold out in two days. So get on the
Blacklash dot co dot in z and get onto the
party zone. We'll be there running the party zone. It's
going to be fucking loose. Get into it, all right,
one more quick break, will be right back. Have you
seen to get political for a minute. The police are
(26:49):
seeking a waiver to charge the partner of an Australian
diplomat after a three thirty am altercation.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Have you seen this?
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yeah, I saw that. I loved the part a community like.
But it's usually it's usually for something that's more politically
motivated or but it's not for getting fucking ship face
and thrown thrown hands.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, it's not. It's not immunity.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Diploamly immuit is not designed for again, ship face and
round hands. It's designed for other stuff. So you can't
be arrested for potential espionage or yeah, or they can
try and coerce you because you're in a country and
they will trying to intimidate you with you.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Know, will arrest you. Yeah, that kind of shit. So
I've got immunity. You can't do that. Yeah, not this
to stop international incidents.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, So that's why that's why the police are applying
for the wait for the for the immunity to be waived.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
So it's the husband or partner of an Australian diplomat
who was out at three thirty am after the All
Blacks game dressed and Wallaby supporters kid as well.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yes, and then just got into a dust up. It's
three on a street.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Diplomatic community.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
How many times he's built that car? Really? Yeah? Well
that's the thing. Is this what he does?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It just goes around and he's just like, no, diplomatic community,
you can do whatever I want.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Well, remember a few years ago there was one particular
embassy that racked up about thirty grand's worth of parking
fines and they and they pleaded diplantic community.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
They never paid it. So can you just do whatever
you want? Pretty much?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
But I think in this case he's lizard after the Yeah,
he's got into a fight. It's not really what immunity
is designed for. It No, it's not designed to protect bad.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Behaviors, to protect international relations. Not got on the but
which arguably is one of the most Australian things to do.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I think you should go out in that dish dash
and it's caused trouble and it's got BBI.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
I'm only a diploatic community.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, I have diplomatic community from the Sultanate of Omart. Yeah,
I'll call the sultan right now. I never did get
to talk to shake Mo about the sports Washington. It's
having to do it, and I never did get over
to Saudi tensions were escalating.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Well, yeah, that's true. You would have seen a couple
of rockets go of your head. I did. Yeah, I did.
Got to see the Iron Curtain from a distance.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It's true because the right where oman Any is in
the flight path from Iran to Israel, so they would
have gone overhead.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
They wouldn't have gone overhead, but you would have been
able to see them.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yes, I know you're in the mix of when your
other When I lived there for two and a half years,
I've told the story before, But a huge sandstorm came through.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Out of nowhere. They're gonna get there, came out of nowhere,
and like.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
It wasn't forecasts or anything, because usually they can forecast
when there's a win coming or.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Whip it up.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
And basically it was the movement of troops in Iraq,
American movement of troops. They moved so many troops at
once that they basically dug up the sand.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And it blew, and it blew.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
A sandstorm to UAE and we're like, okay, I'm really
in the mix of heres come from Iraq.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And it's from a military movement. Yeah, there were a few.
There were a few. Like, I didn't know Al Qaeda
was in Yemen. Oh yeah, So I was sad being
bombing a shitty yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So the Americans everyone has been the light and Yemen
up and I was not far away from Yman up. Yeah,
everyone's having a crack at Yemen. They well, no, it's
because they've got they are right on there's that little
channel I think what it's called, but it goes up there,
the little canal that goes up that side of the
Arabian Peninsula, and they have not been getting a scent
(30:27):
for any of the boats that are going past them.
So it's basically piracy. They've started pirating all the ship Yeah,
and so instead of paying them for you know, the
right to use their waterways, America's like, what if we
bomb the funk out of about that? Yeah, yeah, that's
only a couple of hours away from where I was.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
It was.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I think I don't know if I said this at
the top of the podcast, but it was to the
point where my mum was ringing my misses and like yeah,
as he on his flight, as he left here, I've
seen things are heading up in the Middle East. That's
all right, mom, I don't know. It's a spicy meat
all the whole Middle East. I don't own a pager.
I'm fine.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
That's crazy shit as well. Anyway, no reports on it
over there for only enough anyway.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, So, sticking with politics, the MP's credit card statements
have been released.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Have you seen this.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
This is for I think from April to June of
this year, Okay, and because the you know, that's our
tax funded payments, so they released the statements. The MP's
credit card statements. Judith Collins spent the most. She spent
ten k and that was mostly on flights and accommodation.
(31:34):
She went over to a bunch of different stuff overseas.
I'm cool that she's some sort of AI minister. Yeah,
that tin is not a lot in the grand scheme
of things. Chris Luxon bought a four hundred dollars harmonica
from the Rock Shop here in New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
There this gift.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
It was a gift for a foreign diplomat who was
coming over to beat the shit out of someone, and
on Courtney plays.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
At three point thirty in the morning, got in a
fight shit harmonica player.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, where he was out there trying to bust all
the shitty harmonica. This one called the sports Minister, Chris Bishop.
He went to London and Switzerland. Documents show that he
and a staff member traveling with him visited the fast
food joint McDonald's three times in three days from.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
March tenth to March twelfth. Well look when you're when
you're busy and you're on the move. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
A spokesperson for Chris Bishop said the minister takes seriously
his responsibility to be a prudent guardian of taxpayer money.
He also really likes fast food. His waistline is proof
of that.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
That's quite good. I like that. I do too.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I'm actually quite but I think Chris Bishop, if you
see this video, take yourself to a flash restaurant, man,
I think we'd all turn a blind dow.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Fine, you go to Hitler's favorite restaurant in Munich, favorite
Italian restaurant.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
We will send you the address.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Yeah, great, Ravioli. Treat yourself. You're overseas yeah, but look,
I mean, good on them. It's quick and it's easy.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
It's nasty.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
He would have gone through the drive to re grabbed
himself a filio fish.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
There is something about when you're overseas and you really
don't trust any of the food, just going to macas
and being like, look, fuck it, let's get it.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
That's like Joe Jury when we're in Dubai airport. He
brought the mc rabia. Oh what's involved in that? He
didn't know? He didn't like it. I'll tell you. It's
not bacon.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
No, he's a lot of lamb in it, a little lambon,
beef beef bacon. Have you even tried beef bacon? He
probably would have chicken bacon. I tried chicken babon.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's trash. Yeah, I was trying to figure out why
bacon over here?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Oh, by the way, just quickly while I'm distracted that
while we were so, I'm in my full dish dash
thing here, which, by the way, I had to buy
to go into the mosque.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, it's just it's not it's not cultural appropriation.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
It's not they make you buy like weir stuff like this.
It's rude over there. To wear shorts. Shorts are band
in most places you're not allowed to and all I
packed the shorts.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I'm not gonna Yes, that's why you eat linen pants.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, so I didn't have the linen pants, so I
got the candor of the dish, dash the the full
get up, wheeled it and we're having breakfast on the
way out of Oman and we stopped there and this
car just come to a screeching hole beside us. This
guy jumped out and he came over. I had to
shake your heads. Where are you guys? From where he
goes from? From New Zealand. He's like, I saw you
guys sitting here when I drove past before. So when
I drove past again, I couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't
(34:13):
stop smiling. I had to come and shake your heads.
I saw the swag. I have to introduce myself. It's
just four of us, like, clearly Westerners sitting there. Just yeah,
local money dude. Just I thought he's here to put
the hard cell on us, and he wasn't. He just
he's just the swear. Could not stop laughing, could not
stop smiling, like.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
The only passing the old dressed as multi Warriors or
even just shorts and jandles.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know, Stubby's in a singlet and it's just like
quite clearly three Arab dudes.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
You're like, I'll be beat. I got to introduce myself.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But anyway, Ye shout up to Chris By, treat yourself
next time you get overseas man, you're with it.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Just before we knocked this thing on the head, we
need a hunch. I think hunch.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
The n r OLD Grand Finals going on this weekend,
and you said it's not till Sunday night nine point
thirty pm.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
By the time they kick off, it'll be ten. Yeah,
I guarantee it. They've got some powerful power players on them.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
One that caught my eye was clearly anytime try scorer
and the Panthers to win at six dollars twenty five.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
That's yeah. I think the Panthers our favorites. They're not,
they're outside.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, the Melbourne Storm a dollar ninety the Panthers a
dollar ninety five.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
I didn't even consider that.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
The that I know that the Panthers wouldn't win this,
I know same here, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
So I think that's really juicy. Yeah, and the Melbourne
Storm have been rocking and rolling a lot. We said
they've got the Delian player of the year in their team,
but the you know, three in a row for the Panthers.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
So far, they've lost their front rower though suspension a
solem money yeah yeah, no, no, no, he got.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
We've been hunching a storm up because our pot is
up over three grand now I saw that. So after
this weekend, depending on these a couple of results here,
we're going to give that away.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I'm not we're giving away ready, I don't know, but.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
No, still in the extill there, so we're gonna there's
gonna be an almighty like dish up, yeah or dish
out dishdash dash coming up there, all.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Right, just before we knock the thing on the head tomorrow,
I reckon, we just run a full yours please.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
There's so many yours pleases expose.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I just saw the backlog this morning on a logged
into my computer, and there are hundreds of them, and
I think we need to boil them down because I
know a lot of them will be asking the same thing,
but they are all about our trip, right, So I
think tomorrow, man, you probably won't get hold of Jerry
because it's their last ever show tomorrow, so I think
tomorrow we just sit down full expose a the PwC
(36:38):
investigation into the Export Ultra Bergaard and tour of Munich and.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Using people's yours pleases, Yes, okay, yeah, that sounds great.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
And also we've got the sports book back tomorrow as well,
with Carl Carl from the TV looking forward to it.
Speaker 1 (36:52):
All right, let's knock this thing on the head and
we'll see you tomorrow for another episode of the Agenda podcast.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
You've been listening to the HCCS Gender Podcast, brought to
you by Export Ultra. For more episodes, like and follow
on iHeartRadio for where off you get your podcasts.
Live for the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra the Beer for Here. This is
the Agenda Podcast for October the third.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Export a Culture.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Mashallah, I have returned from the Lahaibi. I'm back from
my foray into the desert. I landed yesterday at about lunchtime.
I'm struggling to readjust how many Western.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Life, how many people came up to you and just
unloaded an Arabic to you.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
The first day I got there, I made sure I
went and got my haircut. I got the bed tightened there,
I got the tight fade going on. A Syrian gentleman
cut my hair, either.
Speaker 4 (00:43):
Syrian or Lebanese. When it comes to the barbers in
the Middle.
Speaker 1 (00:46):
East, yeah, Moroccan, any sort of North Africa Arab state,
they'll sort of cut your hair and sort you out.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
Yep.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
So then, but I was in Dubai at that stage,
so not a lot of Arab speakers there. It was
when I went to Aman and bought the dish that
you see me sitting in right now with the traditional
head scarff and straight after that, I chucked this on
walk straight out everyone, all of the people in the
market because they could spot my friends from a mile
away and they would say, you know, hello to them,
(01:13):
what country are you from? They would just start berating
me in Arabic, like.
Speaker 4 (01:17):
How can we wrap these guys off? Yeah? Give us
how we wrapped these guys off?
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Yeah, It's quite funny because in Dubai there is obviously
enough Australians and we for all intents and purposes, when
we're overseas, we are Australian that they could spot us,
or at least my friends. And we had these guys
trying to sell what is it like, perfume and shit
like that and spices.
Speaker 4 (01:41):
And as we will past, this guy goes hello.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
It was the funniest like impersonation of an Australian that
I've ever heard Hello. It was actually fucking terrifying. So
we didn't buy anything off the habibi there. I went
over to Oman, which was like proper the people that
em meant to Dubai. It's basically Disneyland meets Las Vegas.
It's crazy and no one there is actually from there.
(02:08):
Everyone's on the run from something. Yeah, yeah, that's the
feeling I get. Definitely running from something. I think something
like listens, twenty percent of the population in Dubai from
Dubai em.
Speaker 4 (02:19):
Rai it's way less than that. Yeah, it might be
about ten.
Speaker 1 (02:22):
So anyway, went over to Iman, proper Arabic country. They
dubbed me Manaya been Raushi el shit in the wadi
because you you shit in the wadi because I've developed
a rash. You talked yesterday on the podcast about how
when I'm away on the road, I developed like I
look like Imperor Palpatine. By the end of it, I'm rashy.
(02:44):
My eyes are sunk it into the back of my head.
So by the time I showed up to Iman, that's
what I looked like. And I had some sort of
stomach as you're going on as well as like, hi
am going to ship in the waddy, which is like
a desert oasis thing that you go swimming in.
Speaker 4 (02:58):
Yeah. So then I flew back yesterday.
Speaker 1 (03:01):
I'm sure you and Jerry talked about it, but that
seventeen hour flight is savage.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
It's just there's something about you forget about it after
a while. It's like child burst. It is. Yeah, you
don't forget the pain of it.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
The first six hours, seven hours fly by and you're like,
I'm doing well here, and then it just grinds to
a halt.
Speaker 4 (03:18):
From there, it's like a I don't know, like a
time chamber. Do you have any good neighbors?
Speaker 1 (03:24):
Oh my god, my neighbors. I had these fucking hell
I could see them. They were so you could spot them.
Everyone sitting on the plane as these two guys were
getting on, was like, please not me, Please not me,
Please not me.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
Because he walked straight past me.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
He was like staring at the numbers, clearly had no
idea where the fuck he was sitting, walked straight past me,
had an argument with the guy about six rows behind me,
realized he was in the wrong, came back, sat down
next to me, as like fucking we go. They couldn't
figure out They didn't speak a loack of English, couldn't
figure out the display thing in front of them, so
they never watched.
Speaker 4 (03:55):
The guy watched the raw dog. No, he didn't rule dog.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
It the only thing he could figure out as the
default channel on Emirates as like an Emmorati propaganda channel. Yes,
and he got stuck on that with no headphones and
just watched the hat for sixteen he busted out a book.
So an hour and a half into the flight, my
man reaches over to grab a juice over the top
of me and just tips orange juice all down my leg.
Speaker 4 (04:20):
I'm like, fuck, beauty, here.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
We go then, because the sun was up, but everyone
was starting to go to sleep, so they you know how,
they put the blue lights on and blah blah blah,
everyone's going to sleep. My man couldn't figure out the light,
so he just opened his curtain and just blinded about
seven people. I had to explain to him how to
get the light going, had to shut the fucking thing.
And so then we got about six hours left in
(04:44):
the flight. We get served a meal. He tries lifting
it up and eating it, and he just tips sauce
again down my leg. And then what I didn't know
was all over the blanket that I had sleeping. So
it wasn't until I tried picking the blanket up again
that I found tomato sauce all over as like fucking hew.
Speaker 4 (04:59):
Soon as we got.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Off the plane, I could see these guys being like,
where do we go?
Speaker 4 (05:04):
How do we blah blah blah. I was like firelock
eyes with them.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
They're gonna ask me to help them, and after the
sixteen hours they just put me through.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
They can get fucked. I'd actually get I just had half.
Speaker 1 (05:13):
Of mine to try and get them deported, just like, hey,
we don't need these guys in here.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
So we get off the plane.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
We go through customs, and I'm like, anytime I go overseas,
it's customary to bring the tobleron back into the office.
You'll notice they weren't any today. It's not because I
didn't buy any I did. Let me tell you, they're
doing a two for one deal at customs at the
moment Doug Get sucked them by forty eight Bucksits for
two toblerones. They'll throw one in for free, but fuck,
(05:39):
you're still spending fifty bucks on chocolate. So I buy those.
I go to film my declaration card out go to
get my back. I bump into Mitch Mcleanigan, who was
on my flight. He was doing commentary for like one
of the world feasts over there. I see Adam Milne
was on my flight. Jacob Duffy was on my flight
as well, so I guess they'd all been over there
(06:01):
with the black Caps and then came back.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
Mitch was in cattle class with me.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Jacob and Adam were not presumably in first class because
they look fresh.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
Yeah, because the rest of them came back last night
on a later flight.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Oh right, yeah, okay, yeah, So anyway, I go over
and have a yander. Mitch grab my bag and then
he goes, do you have to declare all that chocolate
you brought us?
Speaker 4 (06:25):
Funk? Where is it?
Speaker 1 (06:26):
And I realized I'd put it down when I filled
my declaration card went back to find it. Someone buddy
swiped it. Ah, and I was like, I'm not paying
another fifty bucks. Seve on the office can get fucked.
But I have heard that they've had You've had plenty
of No, we bought the tabla. Okay, when'd you guys
get back Friday?
Speaker 3 (06:44):
Friday morning? Oh Friday afternoon. Yes, we had the week
into convalesce. Yeah, but we're still We're still on Struggle Street.
But like I say, a lot of people say a
lot of people will be thinking crime River.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Oh rightly.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
So I wanted to touch on the bend to flow
off the back of October fist because I've seen people
post on socialmediate that they've had it as well.
Speaker 4 (07:01):
It's definitely a thing. Oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (07:04):
But thankfully in Dubai this very very little restrictions on
what over the countermedications you could buy. So I was
on like weapons grade puto if you dreamed for that
whole week.
Speaker 4 (07:15):
Did you bring some bag? Yeah? I did.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
I put it in my bag, so I'll give you
some of that as well. It's great you could get
It's basically myth and fetament, the stuff that they've got
over there. You just get mythed up and you're just away.
It's a miracle drug.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
I can't.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I was outraged that we had banned it for so long.
It's actually the only thing that genuinely fixes you.
Speaker 4 (07:34):
Yeah, the only thing that makes you soldier on. Yeah,
you're away laughing.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
So I got home. I tried to stay up as
long as I could. Last night, crashed out, died, work up.
This morning five am. Cat brought a rat into the house.
Speaker 4 (07:48):
There's a gift for you, you've missed you. Here's a
giant street.
Speaker 1 (07:54):
It was a big barsard too. I don't know where
he got it from or how he got it over
the fence and up and into the house, but yeah,
what have I missed over the last sort of three
or four days that the.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
It was the victory lap while they're still going on
radio herd Aki finishes tomorrow.
Speaker 4 (08:09):
There's five laps. They've done five long laps, but the.
Speaker 3 (08:13):
Last lap is tomorrow. But I suppose the big news
was the Saudi resignation. Yes, that happened in the same
hotel room as the Ross Taylor boning in gaul before
they flew out some demons in that hotel. And also
the beef, the beef that's starting between Ireland and the
All Blacks which started with Johnny sex Pess's book, and
(08:33):
another Irish players weighed in saying that Rique's a piece
of shit and Johnny Sexton's the greatest gift to rugby.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
So it's adding some real spice to that.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
The next game against Ireland on the November the night
on the Northern Tour on the Northern Tourist, so that's.
Speaker 4 (08:48):
Kind of ramping up.
Speaker 3 (08:50):
And this old Irish player only played six tests for Ireland,
but he's weighed on some shitty podcast uh and way
and just basically piled in on you. I saw that,
So that's going to be it's going to be interesting
when goes on that way too, because he's the kind
of guy who's not gonna he's not gonna go sorry guys, sorry,
he is going to double down.
Speaker 4 (09:07):
Yeah, one hundred. It's good.
Speaker 1 (09:09):
It's good for the game. But this is what we
could play about with rugby. I know, like it's so boring.
We don't know the players very well.
Speaker 3 (09:15):
But it has to wait until a book in a retirement,
this is the thing. It has to wait into a book.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
And he didn't.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
They could have come out with that at the post
match press conference. Yeah, yeah, it just got buried that
there was just a bit of a bet of tour
and for everyone knew that. Brady said four more years.
Went to Peter Marney who called sam Kin a ship.
Richie McCall, Yeah, so.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
We love that ship. That's that's what we thrive on.
Everyone a gentleman's game. It's like, you know, come on,
we need to be better than that.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
Because what did you only say to enjoy your retirement
you can't, which, yeah I miss your playing, Yeah, I
enjoy your retirement. It was a little unnecessary considering you're
just beating him. Like if you if you see it
at the start of the game, hey tomorrow, don't miss
your fly that and enjoy your retirement.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
The start of the game, once he knocked them out.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
It would have been, but there was so much tension
in that game, so much tension.
Speaker 4 (10:08):
You would be losing your mind. Even the way it finished. Yeah,
that's that was right at the end. There was the penalty.
Speaker 3 (10:13):
It was and even Johnny Sexton's still banging on about
the penalty that.
Speaker 4 (10:17):
Yeah, White shouldn't have been a penalty. Get out of here.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
I know, it's ridiculous. Great promo for the book, though,
I love.
Speaker 3 (10:23):
Lie buy it though, No, I'll be buying. I'll be
buying the a cc Ormanek, which is out.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
On I can't even read is that on Tuesday? Tuesday?
It's available in all good bookstores acc Almanek.
Speaker 1 (10:33):
What so, whenever athletes really, and we're not athletes, but
whenever athletes released a book, there's always a clip that
comes out of it, and except obviously in this instance,
particularly in New Zealand, it's the what rico? You only
say to him. Sonny Bell's one was the funniest. His
one was I didn't love my wife when.
Speaker 4 (10:51):
I married it. We even got a line, have we
I know what's what's our one going to be?
Speaker 3 (10:56):
We need to find Let's just say Jason Hoyt threw
it on the ground when I gave it to him
and said, I told you not to put that in there,
and he walked off. I suppose that that said he
threw it on the ground.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
He didn't want it. Oh, this is the actual YEA
on the ground. So there you go.
Speaker 3 (11:10):
There's the book that Jason Hoyt has one thing to
do with. Yeah, and he actually says it on the back.
His quote says I want to distance myself, but he
literally does.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
I'd like to distance myself as far away from the
post as possible from the contents of this book.
Speaker 4 (11:21):
And that is not Yeah, that's not a lie. That
is not a lie.
Speaker 3 (11:24):
That was that that quote was a joke. But when
we go I gave him the book, he didn't. He's
not heavy.
Speaker 4 (11:28):
I think he spent on it.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
I guess you don't get to decide yourself what the
what the line is?
Speaker 4 (11:33):
Yeah, what the line is? People will find it.
Speaker 1 (11:35):
Yeah, this will find it. That's actually that's true. They'll
never flick through. They'll let us know what the quote is.
It'll sell us books, it'll sell us books. Yeah, but
out Tuesday. Ideal ideal gift for for Christmas. So yeah,
it's better too early for Christmas. It's October. No, it's
(11:57):
not too for Christmas. It's not too early.
Speaker 3 (11:58):
Do yourself favor great coffee table book. You can pick
it up any in any chapter and read. Have a
read of it. It's full of the most lunatic stories
that we've been up to. There's a few lies in there,
but you know, you decide which is which is fact
and which is fiction.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
We're about to discuss the delivery we had in the office.
Speaking of Christmas presents.
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Oh yes, yes, the Rebel Sport, Yes, e y c
range oh man. The The new bat that we've releasing
this year is a backyard cricket bat, a plastic hollowed
out backyard cricket bat which I can describe as what
David Warner uses. Yeah, it's the same shape as a
David Water crooker barrough. It's basically thick ass. But it's
(12:41):
a key cricket bat.
Speaker 4 (12:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:43):
So it's plastic, just like your picture, your classic plastic
cricketyard backyard cricket bat, but is massive.
Speaker 4 (12:51):
It's called the Punisher.
Speaker 1 (12:52):
It's called the punisher, punish you by name, Punisha by nature. Yeah,
this is the first thing that you're going to reach
for if you are going down to the beach, if
you're going down to the bad you see this thing,
like yeah, yeah, my cousin, my nephew, my kid is
getting cut.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
We've got the entire by C range, actually balls, many
mini bats, mini sets, the whole B y C set
which we're doing to pay at forward, so everyone you buy,
go one goes to charity.
Speaker 4 (13:16):
They're going to all be available end of October at
Rebel Sports, so look out for that.
Speaker 3 (13:21):
I'd suggest kind of Black Monday, Black Friday, Cyber Monday
is the way to get in those ones.
Speaker 4 (13:27):
They'll go pretty quick. There's a great range, actually it's tremendous.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
We've got the swing balls, we've got soft on the
globe ball, there's the reaction ball. Have you seen that one,
which is basically shaped like a meteorite and just bounced
in the direction.
Speaker 4 (13:41):
So that's quite a good one. We have got your
Christmas sorted. Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (13:47):
I'm going to punch a bunch of that ship for
my Christmas shopping. Actually, all right, let's talk. Let's take
a quick break and we'll come back with some vaguely
sports adjacent ship what's going on on New Zealand Rugby League,
Auckland Rugbyukland Rugby and New ze Own Rugby League of
Wayne In as well.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
So from what I understand, a new CEO came in
who and she's gone. She's come from a corporate background
and come in and going okay, there's no processes, there's
no governance, there's no nothing going on here at Auckland
Rugby League, Auckland Rugby League. I wouldn't say wealthy, but
they're not too bad off because I've got the Carlor
Park Trust which those who don't know where Carlo Park is,
(14:29):
it's pretty much downtown Auckland Stanley Street. They sold Carlor
Park and the apartments on it now so they made
a wad of money.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
So it's where the it is where the.
Speaker 3 (14:41):
Tennis kind of as ye down further towards the water
from there. So they they got they set up a
trust which has a bit of money in it. So
they've got a bit of money floating around. But they've
come along and the new CEO has come along and
said this is not right. There's dodgy shit going on
these conflicts of interest. So she's can mentioned a PwC report, yes,
(15:02):
which is not cheap. And so the first thing that
the current board have gone now that you're wasting money,
blah blah blah.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
PwC come back with an initial report, I will tell
you who's wasted.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
And so the three of the three board members have
been suspended due to just gross conflicts of interest of
them using their own accounting firms. One of the employees
has been accused of spending one hundred and eighty thousand
dollars in fake invoices and credit cards and spending it
at scott City. So it's up that it's all a
shit show. But then the board of Auckland Rugby obviously
(15:34):
Oork Rugby League have appealed to New Zealand Rugby League
and New Zealand Rugby League have then sent a note
to all of the rugby league clubs in Auckland saying
that the current governance of Auckland we're not happy with it.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
Are you the new CEO or this?
Speaker 3 (15:48):
So that's an old boys club going on infid and
New Zealand Rugby League said that we don't believe that
the current board is viable.
Speaker 4 (15:55):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Orka Rugby League come out and you can't govern anything
to do with that new zeon Ra but you can
go fuck off. And so this battle starting between News
and rugby League. But the final PwC report I think
has just been released and the chairman of the board
is arguing it from Ukaway League. But he's the one
that's using his own accounting firm to do the accounts
and tens of thousands of dollars of being build to
(16:18):
his own company without declaring the conflict.
Speaker 4 (16:20):
It's just messy as all bugglers.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
It's basically what you would expect from a PwC investigation
into the alternative commentary.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Oh my god, where's the checks and balances?
Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah that's true, but yeah, it's it's probably what needs
to happen because rugby league is growing massively in New
Zealand and you can't have a mickey mouse operation, especially
in Auckland. And that's I think they've just been running
it like that and the past is that'll do, it'll do.
And I think this new CEO has come in from
corporate background goes this is fuck. There's no absolutely no processes,
(16:53):
checks and balances in this organization, which actually has quite
a bit of cash. And it also details the fuck
when they bought the Warriors and lost four million dollars man, yeah, yeah,
and the chairman went out on his own, negotiated the
deal and board it without consulting the board like shit
like that.
Speaker 4 (17:07):
Yeah, and then it went shit. They lost four million dollars,
which is quite a big amount. It's not nothing.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
Yeah, So apparently there's about seven million dollars that's gone
all yeah, allegedly.
Speaker 1 (17:18):
So this is very timely because it needs to be
sorted out because you know, the Warriors, despite the disappointing season,
they just had still on the up. You would have
to say the pendulum is still swinging up. And they
just had the deli Am Awards last night. Yes, Keywi's
cleaned up, the Supreme Edinvandil Blake was proper the year.
Speaker 4 (17:34):
I know he's back to baby, but were it year
back to back? Proper the year.
Speaker 1 (17:37):
Jerome Hughes was the Dali m Player of the Year,
which is incredible. He will be the Kiwis halfback. He
had a gun season. I think he also benefited from
the fact that Cleary was out for a while. Hines
was out for a while. His own mate Monster was
out for a while, so he had to really pick
up there.
Speaker 4 (17:56):
But he was.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
He's been a gun these last few years, so it's
incredible to see him just poke his nose out and
win it.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
A better podcast would know this. Other keywis that have
won the daim Well, Seawan Johnson win it.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Seawan Johnson's never won. He should have won it last year,
but he was pipped at the post by Caleb Ponger,
who's also technically a Kiwi. The only Warrior to ever
win the Dali m is Roger Tui vas as Shik
in twenty eighteen.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Garry Freeman. Did he ever? I don't think he did. No,
I don't think he did. About Benji Marshall. Benji Marshall
never won it? No, Okay, so this is quite a
big deal. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (18:37):
I think if Benji Marshall was gonna win, it would
have been that year was at five when they won
the behind the Back. Yeah, but they happened in the
Grand finals, so that the award had already been doled out.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
So yeah, this is this is huge. Stoked for Jerome.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
Here's it. He said in his acceptance speech. He never
thought he was going to win this and you know
you wouldn't he was. He was like a second string
fallback that they brought in when Billy Slater was leaving
the Storm though, were like, let's just get like five
or six dirds and see if any of them can
replace him. He was one of them and then he
ended up being the half back and yeah, he's balled
(19:10):
out this season. Dally am very deserving. Ali Carto, this
is always hard to stomach.
Speaker 4 (19:17):
He was.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
He was a warrior just a few years ago and
he won Second Rower of the Year. Could have done
with them this year?
Speaker 4 (19:22):
Did they pick two second rowers of the year?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
They do? Okay, Yeah, so he was one of them.
I forget who the other one was. Crichton Angus Crichton.
So yeah, that's what's going on in the National Rugby League.
And later on in the podcast, we're going to place
a bit on the NRL Grand Final which is this weekend, Yes, Sunday.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Night nine and Kyzi are on the all on that one.
Yeah you'll you'll be right by the Yeah, I'll be
okay by them.
Speaker 1 (19:46):
I'll be back, yeah, yeah, I'll be back. What's going
on with the America's Cup. Are we are we racing you?
Speaker 3 (19:51):
No, No, it's still the Louis Vitoine. I actually on
the flight home watched two races live on the Immirates
Live Score. It's quite cool. No, it's six four to
Great Britains team over prior to Pirelli. Yeah, the Italian
So six four, they only need to win one more
(20:12):
because it's the first to seven.
Speaker 4 (20:14):
I think it's the first of seven. Yeah, something like that.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So yeah, it looks like New Zealand are going to
come up against old mate Ben Ainsley, who famously had
an argument with Blad Chook member in the s l
GP game. You're so arrogant if you win an America's Cup,
you think you can do everything.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
Blead tis like, I shut up, dick here.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
So that looks like that, and then that starts, I
think in about ten days time with the Actual Americas,
Actual America, Actual America's Cup against Enios. I'm presuming any
we're going to win unless old Jimmy Spittle has a
great comeback.
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, well it's happened before, hasn't it.
Speaker 3 (20:54):
So do you go six to four, one to go
or it could be potentially three.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
We'll pick that back up in ten days when it
actually starts in earnest. I saw this announcement come through
this morning.
Speaker 4 (21:03):
Did it? Was it just announced today? Lou Vincent's in
the Black Clash. Yep.
Speaker 3 (21:06):
Great to see. Great to see Lou Vincent back in
the Black Clash. I know he got presented as his
black cap hundredth cap a few minuts ago as well,
which had been under a desk at a players association
for about ten years. Yeah, Pedals gave it to him.
Pedals gave it to him. So good to see Lou
coming back. The rehabilitation of Lou he got. I think
(21:28):
he's got my line massively.
Speaker 4 (21:30):
He got treated. He was the only one who put
his hand out and said I've done wrong. I did it.
Speaker 3 (21:34):
I did it, and he got absolutely roasted for it
while everyone else, everyone else just ran for the hills. Yeah,
didn't answer phones and just lied. So good to see
him come back. It'll be good for him. I know
he's a he's got a young family now, he's living
up North, loving life.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
He's going to a Beetha to play in a charity game.
I saw that. It's like a T ten match, and
I love this shit.
Speaker 1 (21:55):
I've only just realized in the last sort of like
two or three years, what's going on with those old
boys games.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
Yes, it is just a piss up. I don't know
what it took me so long to figure this out.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
And he's he's still in good neck, he's still got
a good eye, even though look it doesn't really matter.
I don't really bowl that fast. But I bowled to
him in the nets up and kept him oval last
year for the November Test match, which has happening again
this year in Hamilton, and I bowled a juicy half volley.
I hit it so hard back to me that it
went past me.
Speaker 4 (22:23):
If I if it had actually.
Speaker 3 (22:25):
Been at my body, I think I would have died
because by the time it went passed me, I had
no idea and he hit it so hard so would
have gone through.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Yeah. Great to save lou back for the Black players.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
Hopefully they mike him up and we can talk to
him on the commentary because he's a good man and
he deserves the second chance.
Speaker 1 (22:40):
Unfortunately for him, Chris Gale is playing in the same match,
so I think if anyone's getting micd it's definitely Chris Game.
Speaker 4 (22:45):
I know, but Chris Gales on Team Rugby.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
Oh yeah, so we'll get a couple, we'll get a
couple of chances.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
So really, yeah, that drip feeding the teamless through, aren't they.
Speaker 3 (22:54):
Well you've got Vi Tori, you got Karen Reed of
the captains, you've got Anton Devsich. Who's going to be
in team cricket again, I'd say the Marshalls, Hamish Marshall,
and I'm sure why James isn't getting a run, but
Hamish's it seems odd. The herey Jeff will probably be
there again. I would say for Team Rugby, that kind
of drip feed up because I think they really need
(23:15):
to get the services of Jock McKenzie, Yeah, from the Auckland.
Speaker 4 (23:20):
One who's playing for both Auckland and the Blues.
Speaker 3 (23:23):
Yeah, and he's quick, he's rapid and he'll put the
ships up the cricket players.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
And I think he's playing rugby this year. I'm not sure,
or he's not playing cricket one of the two.
Speaker 4 (23:31):
But the game is a bit later.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
It's Jen nineteen and Super Rugby starts two weeks later
or three weeks later, so.
Speaker 4 (23:38):
You're probably not getting the run.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah, well this is disappointing because then he got Jordy Barrett,
who we know can is Philly rapid.
Speaker 4 (23:43):
Yeah, Reuben Love has been announced he is playing.
Speaker 3 (23:46):
Okay, well they might, they might, They might loosen that
up a little bit.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
He was probably one of my favorite players last year.
That catch that he took over the boundary non caul
but it wasn't a catch, and he.
Speaker 3 (23:56):
Did annoy people like Jason Spices because he did the
gritty afterwards and didn't really and Jason Spice very a man,
a man of a man of very simple tastes.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Was he did the gritty afterwards, and then when they
interviewed him, he tried to be all humble about it. Oh,
look it didn't count, you know, because my foot went
over the rope. So I don't really want to talk
about it, Like, hey, there's a ship like this is
a bullshit game. Yeah, it doesn't matter, It doesn't matter. Also,
you fucking did the gritty after it. Don't pretend that
you didn't care that you did that.
Speaker 3 (24:25):
Yeah, I'd say Jason Spice will be back stuff like that.
He played for Team Rugby because he's a handy cricketer.
Speaker 1 (24:31):
What's it going to take for an ACC member to
get included in one of the teams.
Speaker 3 (24:35):
I've actually asked us before, but it's too at that stage,
is too humiliating.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
How to a dead guy was on there? I know,
and that's one of the reasons.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I knew I'd say that I'm a one hundred times
better than And they've asked Jeremy a number of times,
but he's he again, he's the same. He's terrified that
he's going to go out faceoo ball, get out for
gold dark and just get rinse.
Speaker 1 (24:57):
I think what'll be way worse than that would be fielding.
Oh yeah, that's another thing. Yeah, because you get older,
you just lose all depth.
Speaker 3 (25:04):
Perceptions gone, Yeah, you can't really throw, like I spay
a lot of cricket. I pride myself in my catching.
Now bull goes up, I'm like, I don't know where
that is.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
Nothing rams that point home harder than the trade's living
that we played at the start of the year. Eleven
drop catches, even drop catches, obviously, I think it was
closer to fifteen. But more than that, it was the
amount of hamstrings that got to abductors, ham strings and
ruins groins here, and the poor physio that was down there.
Speaker 4 (25:33):
She was working.
Speaker 1 (25:34):
Lee Baker described her as fearless, and you would have
to be to work on all those middle aged men
who yeah, you're right, you see it, and then you
can't do it.
Speaker 3 (25:44):
So yeah, I don't think, no, I I think maybe
ten years ago. If that cash has started ten years ago,
when the acc started, I reckon there had been a
few of us that would have been into it, but
just been too old and too long in the tooth,
So I'd stick to just begging them behind the micro.
Speaker 4 (26:00):
Tickets are on sale for Black Clash. Oh yes, so
they're on sale.
Speaker 3 (26:03):
Now, by the way, and there is a party zone again,
the Export Ultra Party Zone. There's only seven hundred tickets
available for this. For the zone, you've got to get
in quick. As part of the ticket, you get a
set of the ship expert steat of the ship hat,
a party shirt, a sports.
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Here, some snacker Changy's, and a couple of complimentary beers.
Oh my god.
Speaker 3 (26:25):
So automatically that's about one hundred dollars worth of value
for that ticket. So there's only seven hundred. Last year
it sold out in two days. So get on the
Blacklash dot co dot in z and get onto the
party zone. We'll be there running the party zone. It's
going to be fucking loose. Get into it, all right,
one more quick break, will be right back. Have you
seen to get political for a minute. The police are
(26:49):
seeking a waiver to charge the partner of an Australian
diplomat after a three thirty am altercation.
Speaker 4 (26:55):
Have you seen this?
Speaker 3 (26:56):
Yeah, I saw that. I loved the part a community like.
But it's usually it's usually for something that's more politically
motivated or but it's not for getting fucking ship face
and thrown thrown hands.
Speaker 4 (27:08):
Yeah, it's not. It's not immunity.
Speaker 3 (27:10):
Diploamly immuit is not designed for again, ship face and
round hands. It's designed for other stuff. So you can't
be arrested for potential espionage or yeah, or they can
try and coerce you because you're in a country and
they will trying to intimidate you with you.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Know, will arrest you. Yeah, that kind of shit. So
I've got immunity. You can't do that. Yeah, not this
to stop international incidents.
Speaker 3 (27:30):
Yeah, So that's why that's why the police are applying
for the wait for the for the immunity to be waived.
Speaker 1 (27:37):
So it's the husband or partner of an Australian diplomat
who was out at three thirty am after the All
Blacks game dressed and Wallaby supporters kid as well.
Speaker 4 (27:45):
Yes, and then just got into a dust up. It's
three on a street.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Diplomatic community.
Speaker 4 (27:52):
How many times he's built that car? Really? Yeah? Well
that's the thing. Is this what he does?
Speaker 1 (27:56):
It just goes around and he's just like, no, diplomatic community,
you can do whatever I want.
Speaker 3 (28:00):
Well, remember a few years ago there was one particular
embassy that racked up about thirty grand's worth of parking
fines and they and they pleaded diplantic community.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
They never paid it. So can you just do whatever
you want? Pretty much?
Speaker 3 (28:16):
But I think in this case he's lizard after the Yeah,
he's got into a fight. It's not really what immunity
is designed for. It No, it's not designed to protect bad.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
Behaviors, to protect international relations. Not got on the but
which arguably is one of the most Australian things to do.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I think you should go out in that dish dash
and it's caused trouble and it's got BBI.
Speaker 4 (28:38):
I'm only a diploatic community.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Yeah, I have diplomatic community from the Sultanate of Omart. Yeah,
I'll call the sultan right now. I never did get
to talk to shake Mo about the sports Washington. It's
having to do it, and I never did get over
to Saudi tensions were escalating.
Speaker 4 (28:57):
Well, yeah, that's true. You would have seen a couple
of rockets go of your head. I did. Yeah, I did.
Got to see the Iron Curtain from a distance.
Speaker 3 (29:03):
It's true because the right where oman Any is in
the flight path from Iran to Israel, so they would
have gone overhead.
Speaker 4 (29:12):
They wouldn't have gone overhead, but you would have been
able to see them.
Speaker 3 (29:14):
Yes, I know you're in the mix of when your
other When I lived there for two and a half years,
I've told the story before, But a huge sandstorm came through.
Speaker 4 (29:27):
Out of nowhere. They're gonna get there, came out of nowhere,
and like.
Speaker 3 (29:31):
It wasn't forecasts or anything, because usually they can forecast
when there's a win coming or.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Whip it up.
Speaker 3 (29:36):
And basically it was the movement of troops in Iraq,
American movement of troops. They moved so many troops at
once that they basically dug up the sand.
Speaker 4 (29:46):
And it blew, and it blew.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
A sandstorm to UAE and we're like, okay, I'm really
in the mix of heres come from Iraq.
Speaker 4 (29:53):
And it's from a military movement. Yeah, there were a few.
There were a few. Like, I didn't know Al Qaeda
was in Yemen. Oh yeah, So I was sad being
bombing a shitty yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (30:04):
So the Americans everyone has been the light and Yemen
up and I was not far away from Yman up. Yeah,
everyone's having a crack at Yemen. They well, no, it's
because they've got they are right on there's that little
channel I think what it's called, but it goes up there,
the little canal that goes up that side of the
Arabian Peninsula, and they have not been getting a scent
(30:27):
for any of the boats that are going past them.
So it's basically piracy. They've started pirating all the ship Yeah,
and so instead of paying them for you know, the
right to use their waterways, America's like, what if we
bomb the funk out of about that? Yeah, yeah, that's
only a couple of hours away from where I was.
Speaker 4 (30:45):
It was.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
I think I don't know if I said this at
the top of the podcast, but it was to the
point where my mum was ringing my misses and like yeah,
as he on his flight, as he left here, I've
seen things are heading up in the Middle East. That's
all right, mom, I don't know. It's a spicy meat
all the whole Middle East. I don't own a pager.
I'm fine.
Speaker 4 (31:02):
That's crazy shit as well. Anyway, no reports on it
over there for only enough anyway.
Speaker 1 (31:07):
Yeah, So, sticking with politics, the MP's credit card statements
have been released.
Speaker 4 (31:12):
Have you seen this.
Speaker 1 (31:13):
This is for I think from April to June of
this year, Okay, and because the you know, that's our
tax funded payments, so they released the statements. The MP's
credit card statements. Judith Collins spent the most. She spent
ten k and that was mostly on flights and accommodation.
(31:34):
She went over to a bunch of different stuff overseas.
I'm cool that she's some sort of AI minister. Yeah,
that tin is not a lot in the grand scheme
of things. Chris Luxon bought a four hundred dollars harmonica
from the Rock Shop here in New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
There this gift.
Speaker 1 (31:52):
It was a gift for a foreign diplomat who was
coming over to beat the shit out of someone, and
on Courtney plays.
Speaker 3 (31:58):
At three point thirty in the morning, got in a
fight shit harmonica player.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, where he was out there trying to bust all
the shitty harmonica. This one called the sports Minister, Chris Bishop.
He went to London and Switzerland. Documents show that he
and a staff member traveling with him visited the fast
food joint McDonald's three times in three days from.
Speaker 4 (32:18):
March tenth to March twelfth. Well look when you're when
you're busy and you're on the move. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (32:24):
A spokesperson for Chris Bishop said the minister takes seriously
his responsibility to be a prudent guardian of taxpayer money.
He also really likes fast food. His waistline is proof
of that.
Speaker 4 (32:35):
That's quite good. I like that. I do too.
Speaker 1 (32:38):
I'm actually quite but I think Chris Bishop, if you
see this video, take yourself to a flash restaurant, man,
I think we'd all turn a blind dow.
Speaker 3 (32:44):
Fine, you go to Hitler's favorite restaurant in Munich, favorite
Italian restaurant.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
We will send you the address.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
Yeah, great, Ravioli. Treat yourself. You're overseas yeah, but look,
I mean, good on them. It's quick and it's easy.
Speaker 4 (32:55):
It's nasty.
Speaker 3 (32:56):
He would have gone through the drive to re grabbed
himself a filio fish.
Speaker 1 (32:59):
There is something about when you're overseas and you really
don't trust any of the food, just going to macas
and being like, look, fuck it, let's get it.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
That's like Joe Jury when we're in Dubai airport. He
brought the mc rabia. Oh what's involved in that? He
didn't know? He didn't like it. I'll tell you. It's
not bacon.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
No, he's a lot of lamb in it, a little lambon,
beef beef bacon. Have you even tried beef bacon? He
probably would have chicken bacon. I tried chicken babon.
Speaker 1 (33:23):
It's trash. Yeah, I was trying to figure out why
bacon over here?
Speaker 4 (33:26):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (33:28):
Oh, by the way, just quickly while I'm distracted that
while we were so, I'm in my full dish dash
thing here, which, by the way, I had to buy
to go into the mosque.
Speaker 3 (33:36):
Yeah, it's just it's not it's not cultural appropriation.
Speaker 1 (33:39):
It's not they make you buy like weir stuff like this.
It's rude over there. To wear shorts. Shorts are band
in most places you're not allowed to and all I
packed the shorts.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
I'm not gonna Yes, that's why you eat linen pants.
Speaker 1 (33:51):
Yeah, so I didn't have the linen pants, so I
got the candor of the dish, dash the the full
get up, wheeled it and we're having breakfast on the
way out of Oman and we stopped there and this
car just come to a screeching hole beside us. This
guy jumped out and he came over. I had to
shake your heads. Where are you guys? From where he
goes from? From New Zealand. He's like, I saw you
guys sitting here when I drove past before. So when
I drove past again, I couldn't stop laughing. I couldn't
(34:13):
stop smiling. I had to come and shake your heads.
I saw the swag. I have to introduce myself. It's
just four of us, like, clearly Westerners sitting there. Just yeah,
local money dude. Just I thought he's here to put
the hard cell on us, and he wasn't. He just
he's just the swear. Could not stop laughing, could not
stop smiling, like.
Speaker 4 (34:35):
The only passing the old dressed as multi Warriors or
even just shorts and jandles.
Speaker 1 (34:39):
You know, Stubby's in a singlet and it's just like
quite clearly three Arab dudes.
Speaker 4 (34:44):
You're like, I'll be beat. I got to introduce myself.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
But anyway, Ye shout up to Chris By, treat yourself
next time you get overseas man, you're with it.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Just before we knocked this thing on the head, we
need a hunch. I think hunch.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
The n r OLD Grand Finals going on this weekend,
and you said it's not till Sunday night nine point
thirty pm.
Speaker 4 (35:02):
By the time they kick off, it'll be ten. Yeah,
I guarantee it. They've got some powerful power players on them.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
One that caught my eye was clearly anytime try scorer
and the Panthers to win at six dollars twenty five.
Speaker 3 (35:14):
That's yeah. I think the Panthers our favorites. They're not,
they're outside.
Speaker 1 (35:19):
Yeah, the Melbourne Storm a dollar ninety the Panthers a
dollar ninety five.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
I didn't even consider that.
Speaker 3 (35:25):
The that I know that the Panthers wouldn't win this,
I know same here, That's what I mean.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
So I think that's really juicy. Yeah, and the Melbourne
Storm have been rocking and rolling a lot. We said
they've got the Delian player of the year in their team,
but the you know, three in a row for the Panthers.
Speaker 4 (35:38):
So far, they've lost their front rower though suspension a
solem money yeah yeah, no, no, no, he got.
Speaker 3 (35:48):
We've been hunching a storm up because our pot is
up over three grand now I saw that. So after
this weekend, depending on these a couple of results here,
we're going to give that away.
Speaker 4 (35:57):
I'm not we're giving away ready, I don't know, but.
Speaker 3 (35:58):
No, still in the extill there, so we're gonna there's
gonna be an almighty like dish up, yeah or dish
out dishdash dash coming up there, all.
Speaker 1 (36:08):
Right, just before we knock the thing on the head tomorrow,
I reckon, we just run a full yours please.
Speaker 4 (36:14):
There's so many yours pleases expose.
Speaker 1 (36:16):
I just saw the backlog this morning on a logged
into my computer, and there are hundreds of them, and
I think we need to boil them down because I
know a lot of them will be asking the same thing,
but they are all about our trip, right, So I
think tomorrow, man, you probably won't get hold of Jerry
because it's their last ever show tomorrow, so I think
tomorrow we just sit down full expose a the PwC
(36:38):
investigation into the Export Ultra Bergaard and tour of Munich and.
Speaker 3 (36:43):
Using people's yours pleases, Yes, okay, yeah, that sounds great.
