Speaker 1 (00:00):
Life from the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra the beer for Here. This is
the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the eighth of October.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Export of Vulture.

Speaker 1 (00:15):
We're very lucky to have the coach of the Tartanaki
Bulls on the podcast. Later on, Barnsey Neil Barnes will
be joining us fresh off winning the Shield and then
their flight got canceled. So I want to know how
exactly their celebrations panned out after winning the Shield and
then gets getting stuck in the airports.

Speaker 3 (00:33):
I want to get to the bottom of that.

Speaker 1 (00:34):
But before we do, the All Blacks team was named
yesterday by Razor at two pm.

Speaker 4 (00:39):
Yep, I gotta be honest, no surprises. No, that's full
missionary position from Razer. The two controversial, I didn't say controversial.
The ones that we discussed the most was the TJ Peinada.
Is he the future? Should you pick him? And of
course Sam Kaine, the Cleveland Steamer, and he's picked both
of them. Yeah, yeah, he's gone full missionary and I
think as result of he wants results from this tour.

(01:03):
He needs results, and I think that reflects that in
the squad that's going And there is absolutely no one
that's a surprise in there at all. Reuben Love back
in the squad, that's about it.

Speaker 1 (01:14):
It's about as surprising as you would. Yeah, when you
look through the team, there's no one really. Like you said,
you were saying TJ should never play in the black
jersey again yesterday you were saying to his contract up,
but you were saying he probably never should have in
the first place. But yeah, but yeah, I just think,
like we were saying yesterday, he's gonna win games, and

(01:36):
so he needs to take the squad that he thinks
is going to win him the most games. I feel
like the forward pack is sort of solidifying. It looks
about what it's going to be going forward.

Speaker 4 (01:47):
Absolutely. I mean, you've got Patrick Tuopolo too, as you know,
the experienced campaigner in the air. Because you've got Tupiva
and Sam Darry it's a locks dog roll. You've got
the props. That's the same props kind of squad had
all season. I think that's I think that's us going
into the World Cup.

Speaker 1 (02:03):
To be honest, to Group Lomax, Fletcher Yule, Tossy Of
and Fussy to Mighty Williams.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah, I think the locks as well. I mean the
Patrick to a Poloti can can stand one piece for
a couple more years, and even the loose forwards. Apart
from Sam Kaine, you know you got was the t
T side, Teddy Syvia Papoli, Jacobson, Female Caine black Eader.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Yeah, it's it's all pretty pretty standard. And Wallace Ti.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
I mean I saw that there was a quote from
Sam Kaine saying that this is the most meteoric rise
he's seen because just a year ago he couldn't get
a start for Counties and then now all of a
sudden he has looks to have signed up the six Jersey.
And when we were in Amsterdam, we got punished by
these three Welsh dudes, yes, who came over. They heard
that we were Kiwis and all they wanted to talk
to us about was Wallace Tetic.

Speaker 4 (02:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
One of them was to be fair, this guy was
buckled and he was you know, when you're so drunk
that you just get stuck on one thing. No, but
Wallace t is one of the best players. Yeah, and
so he's making a name for himself around the world.
But yeah, like I said, nothing really to pick over.
I mean Billy Proctor probably no.

Speaker 4 (03:12):
Yeah, I mean Billy Proctor and Reuben Love about the
only ones that. But they've always been in the wider
squad the whole time. So no biggie.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
As says Sam Darry, I'm just trying to think if
there are any injuries people that have been omitted that we.

Speaker 4 (03:26):
I'd say that Stutu and I agree with and I
often agree with the kid or you any but he's
come out and said that go overseas, make some money. Yeah,
and I tend to agree he's on the outer. If
he's not picked for this, then I don't think Robinson's
going to pick him. So go to France, mat make
make your millions. You've got an all black you've got
all black caps under your belt, you get another zero

(03:47):
on your value.

Speaker 3 (03:48):
Yeah, just go for it. No, one hundred percent.

Speaker 1 (03:50):
I agree as well, And I've heard people say this morning,
may or may not have been Joe Jerry, it's basically
just dropping lip. If you don't get picked and see
you go bugger it on going overseas well. Yes, but
also the only leverage that New Zealand Rugby has over
these players is the black jersey. Yeah, and so if
they're saying we're not going to give you the black jersey, well,
what's the leverage there.

Speaker 3 (04:09):
Yeah, you know, the negotiations over.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
And you've only got a very limited window. Oh were
near it? The peaking your powers playing rugby, it's about
four or five years really, particularly in the forwards and
loose forwards. So you've got to go make You've got
to go make your crust somewhere. And if it means overseas,
and I wouldn't blame him. I wouldn't blame him if
he goes over and plays in Toulon or Toulouse or

(04:34):
whatever in France and does well for himself for the
next four or five years, come back, plays a couple
of seasons in Japan and then Petsville Counties and makes
a bajillion dollars go for it.

Speaker 3 (04:45):
I agree.

Speaker 1 (04:46):
I mean, it'd probably be disappointing to him. But you know,
this isn't the first time a player has just been
stuck behind. You know, some really good players like Wallace
Steitis comes through. Now he's behind ARTI who you know,
some would say, is the best, if not one of
the best players in the world. How many how many
flankers had to go overseas because of Richard mccaugh, How

(05:07):
many first fives had to go overseas because of Dan Carter?
You know what I mean that this happens in professional rugby.
It is a little bit unfortunate. And he's not far off,
you know it must be.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Would have been weird from getting blindsided though, like part intended,
I couldn't. But Satiti literally has come out of nowhere.
He's like, yep, I'm swearting. Holy shit, who's this guy?

Speaker 3 (05:28):
Hoskin Situtu?

Speaker 1 (05:30):
You know, one super rugby had himself, had himself a
blinder and and then all of a sudden wasn't picked.
And to be honest, like it could have been a
different coach and he could be in there. He could
be the starting number eight. You know, it's not it's
not due to a lack of lack of effort. But yeah,
I agree, go and make your money. Yeah, go make
you millions. I wouldn't be shocked if he stuck around

(05:51):
for another year and was like, let's see how we go.
You know, I reckon I could make it but would
you wait around for a whole World Cup cycle?

Speaker 5 (05:58):
Nah?

Speaker 4 (05:59):
No, I wouldn't.

Speaker 1 (05:59):
I think when your values at them, when you're at
the peaky value, Yeah, I agree. The Australians have named
the rugby lu team as well. Straight off the back
of the Grand Final, Mitch Barnett was named in the
Australian team as well. Friend of the show, dear, friend
of the show. He is one of the many debutantes.
Has been a bit of an overhauled squad. So Nathan

(06:21):
Cleary's not in there because he's apparently going to need surgery.
I was wondering that because I looked at the squad,
I was like, Cleary, who's better than him?

Speaker 4 (06:29):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (06:29):
Exactly.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
Australian skipper, the incumbent skipper, James Tedisco has been dropped
outright drops so Dylan Edwards is going to be the
starting fullback. It was the Panthers fullback. And they've also
dropped both State of Origin captains Jack Travoyevich and Daily
Cheery Evans.

Speaker 3 (06:45):
Neither of them have made the team.

Speaker 1 (06:47):
And it's interesting because Daily Cheer Evans has been the
skipper of Australia as well and for the longest time
he has been like basically of his fit. Yeah, you're
going to have him in there, So he's gone as well.
So it's a bit of a shake up for Australian
rugby league.

Speaker 4 (07:01):
Is this the result of their pants down threshing last
year at the hands of the Kiwis it could well be?

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Yeah, Melmanning is now in charge of the whole outfit. Yeah.
Maybe he's just like, nah, I'm gonna pick the dudes.
I want maybe the end of it for poor Daily
Chair Evans about thirty six years old.

Speaker 4 (07:18):
He does, but he does it.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
He ages very well.

Speaker 4 (07:20):
It's like Dan Carter. Yeah, Dan Carter doesn't seem to age.
It's those dudes who have like an incredible kicking game.
So it's not like he has to try and step
dudes all the time.

Speaker 6 (07:30):
You know.

Speaker 1 (07:30):
All he does is kick a couple of forty twenties
in a season, you know, kick at ninety percent conversion rate.

Speaker 3 (07:36):
Yeah, and he's alway laughing.

Speaker 1 (07:39):
And just finally before we do get to Neil Bard's
differend Ellie Williams and the Auckland FC conglomerate, yeah, are
putting together a bid to revamp Western Springs. What they
want to do is turn it into the hub of
football in Auckland. So they want to they would have
to bin off the motor game's ring. Yeah, that's that's
the clincher though, Well maybe you could see there's a

(08:02):
few other places that they're proposing to send that out,
so like why could I a speedway and there's a
couple of other different parts there. It would mean the
revamp there would mean that you can't use it for cricket,
not that they have forrageous but it would turn it
into because they want it to be the home of
football in New Zealand.

Speaker 4 (08:19):
It all say, is the home of the ponsom rugby club.

Speaker 1 (08:22):
Yes, yeah, So they were proposing to move them out
to Coxas Bay, which was halfway between my house.

Speaker 3 (08:27):
And the viaduct.

Speaker 4 (08:28):
When we got let out of that lockdown, remember one
hundred and twenty seven day lockdown. We got lead out
of that. I blacked out and passed out at Cox's Bay. Ah,
so that's where that is, quite low lying Coxas baye.
It very polluted little bay there. I don't know if
Cox's Bay is big enough to house Ponsomby rugby. It's
a big rugby club. Is that yeah, I don't know
if that's big enough. Anyway, maybe they should put it

(08:48):
in Ponsonby Vac Park.

Speaker 3 (08:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's exactly.

Speaker 4 (08:53):
That you put it.

Speaker 3 (08:54):
But anyway, the long short of all of this is
it could.

Speaker 1 (08:56):
Change the whole stadium debate because if they're putting a
ball stadium in there, that the part of the proposition
is that it would house some of the rugby games
as well.

Speaker 3 (09:05):
You know, it's the same size. Could this be the
answer to our to our debate?

Speaker 4 (09:10):
I love how it's Ali Williams, Ali Williams. Five years
ago we were shut up Arli Williams. But he's married
to a billionaire, yes, and he's gone into business in
the Aukland f C another billionaire. So that's the only
people that are actually going to make shit happen because
we can shout to the clouds as long as the
day is long to about VIC Park into a test

(09:32):
cricket ground, but we're never going to do it because
we've got no cash behind us any cloud.

Speaker 3 (09:36):
As a person, he's a person, we've got nothing.

Speaker 4 (09:40):
I don't know as an organization, the a SEC is
floundery financially. I like as thinking Ali Williams but he's
just going to come up against some so much bureaucratic
bullshit with the Council that it'll get the life sucked
out of it, and like most good ideas, will get
to a point where he'll go, fuck this. I can't

(10:01):
be fucking bothered.

Speaker 1 (10:02):
This is the thing that I noticed every time I
go overseas is how many rules we have here in
New Zealand for such laid back people.

Speaker 3 (10:09):
We love a rule.

Speaker 4 (10:10):
Because we listen to the minority. We need to get
I've talked U about this with Jeremy. We need to
get to a population of about ten million before we
can tell the minority to shut the fuck up around
these rules and about what we can and can't do
or can't say. And they just get too much.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
They get too much sheer voice. Yes, because the rest
of us don't give a shit. We need someone to
come up with the rules and someone else do it.
I can't really be our on the beach if you
don't mind. And then the guys who loved it I
want to do it, and then we just tolerate it.
We're like, what's the latest one?

Speaker 2 (10:42):
You tell me this morning?

Speaker 3 (10:43):
I told you this morning.

Speaker 1 (10:44):
New World's binning five hundred Milkraft beer cans. They're going
to sell through this stock and then stop selling them.
The problematic drinkers in our communities are not drinking five
hundred mil crafties.

Speaker 3 (10:56):
Because they are about seventeen dollars. That's right for that
one can. That's right. That is not how you get
yourself tragically wasted.

Speaker 4 (11:04):
What kind of brainstorm were they in when they said,
what's the problem. It's the big cans? So no, No,
I can buy twenty four cans, yes of something.

Speaker 3 (11:13):
Yes, and that's and if I'm looking to get wasted,
That's how I'm gonna do it.

Speaker 4 (11:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:17):
But because the five hundred milk can is just the
perfect midweeker. Yeah, if you're on your way home, you
can buy a loose five hundred mil crafty. You only
have to have one of them. Yep, you know you're
not getting it'll just get you on the level on
a Wednesday night.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Yeah, nice, fealthy, kind of strong, six point seventy perfect
fit's perfectly into a pint glass.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
That's right. You're not sitting around drinking six of them.

Speaker 4 (11:38):
Yeah, because if you crack two other can, two small cans, you're.

Speaker 1 (11:41):
Like, yeah, well, This was my idea for when and
I've pitched this to several breweries and it was a
one five hundred milk cans about seven percent.

Speaker 4 (11:48):
It was called home Wrecker. Yeah, I think I think
the name was the one that Achilles heel.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
Yeah it was. But it was like I figured, you know,
I'm not a father, but I've been around a lot
of fathers. In fact, I have one.

Speaker 1 (11:59):
And you know, if you're a father, you can't come
home and be seen to crush six beers on a Tuesday.

Speaker 4 (12:04):
Yeah, that's true, but you can have one. And yeah,
that's true because that the repetitive sound of cans opening, yes,
and in the windows. Yeah, that triggers. That triggers a
lot of partners. I mean in the weekend, for example,
we had quit a big Friday night and then on
Saturday morning and the head snapped around. But I was

(12:25):
actually drinking a Vista, so I snapped around. But the
fact that that triggered a reaction, yeah is saying something.
So you're right, just one yeah is better than that's right.
Like I heard on the plane when flying over with
you and Joe jury behind.

Speaker 6 (12:43):
Me, we.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
Found that you could play blackjack on the back of
the screens against each other. Yes, and then there were
all these other people coming in and we were like, okay,
our mission is to run the table against the rest
of the cabin that we're in.

Speaker 4 (12:56):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:56):
So we're playing against like four or five other people
that all of a sudden, a new person we come in,
and we got to the point where we wiped everyone out.
We're sitting there so stoked with ourselves, cheersing, and then
we found out they were actually computer players.

Speaker 3 (13:07):
We weren't barking against the real people. We were like,
fuck you sixty seven c Yeah, we.

Speaker 1 (13:14):
Were just playing against each other. We'd clean the whole
a three eighty out of our poker players. But no,
it was just me and Joe playing against the computer
for about three hours, crushing the All right, let's take
a quick break and we come back.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
We got Barnsy from the Tartanaky Bulls.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
All right.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
All over the weekend. They took the shield off Tasman.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
They now get to lock it away for the rest
of the summer, but they still have a job to
do with the quarterfinals coming up this weekend and joining
us as the coach of the Tartanaky Bulls barnsy Neil Barnes,
Good morning mate, how are spirits around the camp this morning?

Speaker 6 (13:51):
I've only seen them for a little bit, they've just
been over to gym. But it was very broken day yesterday.
Obviously we celebrated pretty hard on Sunday night and their
travel plans got thrown into bloody disarray because we've got
halfway home to Wellington now. Flights and New Plymouth got canceled,
so stuck at Wellington, three different flights to Auckland back
to Plymouth. The boys can get back of that four

(14:11):
o'clock yesterday. But mate, they're tired of hangover, so they
should be. But now it's about getting back up. We've
got a quarterfinal that we're pretty serious about.

Speaker 4 (14:21):
Yeah, it must be. It must be quite difficult now
because obviously you've you've got you've got the shield for
the summer, you've locked it away in the cabinet for
the summer and now you've got to refocus and move
into the knockout stages of the NPC.

Speaker 3 (14:33):
Howre you going to how are you going to focus?
The fellers?

Speaker 6 (14:37):
Yeah, I'm one of those coach that shoots from the
hip a little bit off theel. The room. But for me,
the hardest part is to treat the shield with the
respect it deserves. With your community as well. Obviously, you
know they want to celebrate it as well, and it'd
be nice to get out there amongst the schools and
that with a shield at the moment. But for me
in our room today, we've got to you know, celebrate
what we did because it was a pretty good effort

(14:58):
and then put it to be other people deal with
that and get back into what we've set out sights
on in the quarter final side of things. And we
know we've got Whyekadow, which like our neighbors, and they're
a bloody awesome crew and they rested a fair number
of their players on the weekend and got a few
all blacks coming in, so they're going to be up
for it. So it's another mighty challenge.

Speaker 1 (15:18):
Yeah, for sure, just going back to the shield, weren't
And so you guys flew from Tasman to Wellington. Then
what happened The flight got canceled from Wellington.

Speaker 6 (15:29):
But the unfortunate thing is like we couldn't even bloody
have a beer with the tas And boys after we
had to get to an airport straight away, and because
we were supposed to be flying straight back, but then
we got stuck in Nelson Airport for two and a
half hours. I got no idea why, but obviously the
boys went upstairs into the courier of enginemed their fridges
for them their that alcohol was getting old. They were

(15:56):
in great space by the time we got to Wellington.
So I take my head off to our managery at
a hell of bed or keeping them together. Yeah, then
we were probably stuck there for another two and a
half hour, was trying to sort out where the hell
we were going to sleep to the night and getting
all our team geared there. So she hasn't mean beer
and skittles for the management side of it, but the
players had a ball and so you just.

Speaker 3 (16:15):
Basically just travel throughout the night to get back the
next morning.

Speaker 6 (16:18):
Well, we traveled to Wellington on the night of the
game and then had to get accommodation in Wellington for
the night, and then we had to be flying to
all come back to New Plymouth, which involved three different flights.
This guy's hanging around the airports for a whole day,
So yeah, it takes the gloss off things. But man,
it's just one of those things you need to get
through it. Like I said before, like the job there

(16:40):
is to find out what we can learn from it
that game down there, because it was a pretty special
day because the log would deserve sath and just refocus.

Speaker 3 (16:49):
Was there a bit of a reception at the airport
when you finally made it back to the neck.

Speaker 6 (16:53):
Yeah, there was. Actually, I'm so proud of our people.
They're so supportive. So yeah, the airport was full when
they got back in. The thing is the public had
no idea because not did we what time we were
going to get back. I had to be on an
earlier flight on my own and got back and there
were kids in that waiting at the airport then in
the first part of the day, and I felt so
bad because I walked in the door and they're like,

(17:13):
where's the player? You got some ninety year old dinosaur
in the room. I don't really want to see me.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
What is the state of the shield at the moment?
I trust it's all in one piece?

Speaker 6 (17:27):
No, absolutely, mate, JJ our young lucid prop got the
role of looking after it, and he did a grand job. Yeah,
the boys obviously enjoyed the night, but you know, We
had a lot of respect for that trophy, so don't
worry about that it didn't go anywhere.

Speaker 4 (17:43):
Oh nice, and you've got it. It's a home quarter
this week in against the Wakato.

Speaker 3 (17:46):
Boys, is that right?

Speaker 6 (17:47):
Yeah? Absolutely? And a lot of them are teammates of
our guys in Super rugby as well, so we all
know each other at the bench are involved. But you
know this is serious shit. Now we're actually playing for
an opportunity to be in the semi and then the
opportunity to be in final. That's pretty special. So the
exciting times I'm wrapped away. The competition's panning out freaking hell.
There's eight teams there and an idea. Anyone to tell

(18:08):
me who's going to win any of the quarterfinal games?

Speaker 4 (18:11):
Speak anyway? Is this one of the one of the
tightest NPC competitions you've seen in a while, because other
games I've watched have been absolutely cracking.

Speaker 6 (18:20):
Yeah, that too. There's two things in it you can't
You can't tell before a game who's going to win.
Anybody can beat anybody, but the quality of the rugby's
been outstanding. There's a real attacking mindset and NPC at
the moment which I'm thoroughly enjoying, and so it's entertaining.
The fact that you don't know who's going to win
makes it exciting. I just want the competition respected for

(18:42):
what it is and given the window it needs to have,
because I felt so bad for Tasman that they had
to play two shield games in a storm week leading
into the quarterfinals. And why so we can have a
game against Japan or have a all back B team
go and play a game. I mean, get real, Yeah
it is.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
I wouldn't say, and he's going on Rugby traded as
an afterthought, but you're right. This should be our premiere
provincial competition and you know, and leave the franchise stuff
to the Super Rugby. But I definitely feel like this
year the regions have been more in behind their teams
because I think as New Zealanders we feel more affinity
to our NPC team than we do to our Super

(19:20):
Rugby team. I don't really know exactly why. But are
you expecting a sell out this weekend at Yero Stadium.

Speaker 6 (19:26):
I'll be very surprised at the place. Saint Paul. Yeah,
it's just one of those ones that we only pick
players from our club competition, and yes I will go
outside the province if we're seriously short somewhere, but very
very reluctant to do so. So I just understand what
NBC is. Therefore, you're there to develop players for the
professional game and to provide an opportunity for them to

(19:46):
play at a higher level. So I'm wanting to go
to the next cab off the rank in regardless of
who that person is, because I know I've done a
lot of work with them during the club season and
trust them. So you can't do that if you've got
no coaches around during during the club season, because nowadays
unions can't afford ever coach around. But I'm lucky to
be in a union that supports that.

Speaker 4 (20:06):
Nice Neil Barnes, I know you've got to You've got
to got the team gathered there. You're just going to
go through a bit of a review of the weekend.
But we've got a bit of admission to make in
the acc studios here, we we have a piece of
your property. We have your chiefs Rugby Social blazer in
our studio with your name emblazoned on the inside. Yeah

(20:30):
we do.

Speaker 3 (20:30):
I've got the Chief Social Committee. It's the black, red
and gold.

Speaker 4 (20:34):
Yeah, it's the kind of black red and gold stripe
blazer with the gold buttons and on the inside it
has Neil Barnes and we're.

Speaker 3 (20:41):
Like, how did we?

Speaker 4 (20:42):
How did we?

Speaker 3 (20:43):
How did we get this piece of property?

Speaker 4 (20:44):
And I still actually don't know.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
Have you been looking for it?

Speaker 6 (20:46):
Neil?

Speaker 3 (20:47):
Did they tell you they were giving it to us?

Speaker 6 (20:51):
They were that happy to get rid of me. They've
just given all my property.

Speaker 4 (20:55):
I think you can blame it on Kent Curry, actually,
I think he was the one that may have did
it to us. But I wear it for every Chiefs
game I commentate, actually, and it really passes off any
other team we play with that blazer.

Speaker 3 (21:08):
Hey, Neik, thanks for joining us.

Speaker 4 (21:10):
And for those of you who want to see Barnsey
at his best, I know you've talked about it before.
That on Netflix is the six Nation Six Nations full
content from last year. I know you obviously copped a
bit of ship for that because you have caught you
on the hot mic several times coaching Italy and with
I love it. I think it's great. It's a real

(21:31):
breath of fresh air when you've got a kiwi because
you're you're.

Speaker 3 (21:34):
A distinct accent, sticks out like dogs balls. I was like,
it's a Kiwi. Oh, it's fucking Barnsi.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
It's like Barns again stuck into the Italians. It's great,
it's great stuff. So congratulation of that. I know you've
you were, You're quite world famous here for a while,
probably still are.

Speaker 6 (21:51):
I'm just a farmer boys.

Speaker 3 (21:54):
Just one last question before you before we let you go.

Speaker 1 (21:57):
Obviously don't want to look too far down the track,
but you have got the shield sewing up. Last year
South Canterbury won Heartland and they weren't able to get
up to Hawk's beta challenge for the shield. If they're
in a similar situation at the end of this year,
do you reckon you'll you'll maybe.

Speaker 3 (22:12):
Meet them halfway so that the Heartland can challenge for
the shield.

Speaker 6 (22:16):
If they're willing to fill my fridge, anything's possible.

Speaker 3 (22:19):
We can help you with that.

Speaker 4 (22:22):
Where we can help.

Speaker 1 (22:24):
Exports sponsor that. I think between the three of us
we can probably figure something out.

Speaker 6 (22:29):
Thank you, curry out of that fridge.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Thank you very much for your time this morning.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
Go well this weekend against wait Ketto and I'm sure
all the listeners here will be watching along this weekend.

Speaker 3 (22:40):
So yeah, go well, thanks very much for your time, Matte.

Speaker 6 (22:44):
Good luck on the problem fellows. Go well.

Speaker 1 (22:49):
I was always good to have the reigning defending shield
holder on. Barnes is such a great news yander.

Speaker 4 (22:56):
God, he's a great New Zealander, just so also so
honest about the fact that he's got a to the
mildly hungover that he's got to refocus into a quarter
final this weekend.

Speaker 1 (23:04):
I know, I said before we went on here, I
said to him pretty relaxed reviews today, wouldn't it, because
you reckon, We've got alf the class are still hungover
from Sunday and we've got a quarter final coming up
this weekend. Oh yeah, true, it's five days away. I
know what day is today, Tuesday. Yeah, And as we said,

(23:24):
massive slate of games this weekend. I mean she's quite
looking forward to that. We are selling the ute. If
you haven't heard already, Auto Trader want you to tell
New Zealand about your car. The US has to help
them and so we are taking the lead. We're selling
our ute. It is a nineteen ninety eight Ford Falcon Ute.

Speaker 4 (23:41):
YEP.

Speaker 3 (23:42):
It is a straight six engine which is humming at
the moment when you.

Speaker 4 (23:47):
Put your foot down. Just the rumble that comes out us.
It's heartwarming.

Speaker 1 (23:52):
It's a head turner. It's a big bet of equipment,
bench seat across the front which we've just had redone. Yep,
she's she's a different color. There'll be video out to
explain all of the things that we've done to soup
it up. One thing I would mention, and you know,
I think it's important to be transparent when you're selling
your car.

Speaker 3 (24:10):
The tray does smell like Sultan vinegar.

Speaker 4 (24:14):
Which is better than dog shit or cat person.

Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yes, that's right. It's not a bad smell. And the
tray is quite good.

Speaker 4 (24:20):
If you're a builder, or you're in any sort of
trade and you've got expensive equipment. It has a lockable
tray slides out and you can put stuff here. If
you're looking to shift anything big, it's useless for that.

Speaker 1 (24:32):
Although there is across the top of the trade is
a bit of plywood, so you can put something on
top of that and struck them down.

Speaker 3 (24:38):
I'll tell you what it's perfect for is you.

Speaker 1 (24:40):
Back that thing up at the local rugby league grounds
and watch the pantsman play league and you sit on
the tray.

Speaker 4 (24:47):
It's perfect for that.

Speaker 1 (24:48):
You fill the little slide out draw with beers and
you just slide it out, grab yourself a beer, slide
it back and it is a really impressive piece of
kit and we are selling it all thanks to the
Great New Zealanders Auto Trader. We all the proceeds are
going to go to the Great New Zealand Is at November.
So they're saying it's one of the great own goals
of all time because I drive that thing to work

(25:09):
most days.

Speaker 4 (25:10):
Yes, yeah, it is a little bit, but we're working
on a replacement. Any vehicle sponsors out there who want
us to jump on board, yeah, let us know.

Speaker 3 (25:18):
Here's an opportunity for you.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
But to make sure that it's got the best chance
to sell, we've gotten a rewrapped and gloss black. The
seats rearpolsed. As I said, it is delightful, great for
the posture as well on the bench seat and we
made a shine with a proper clean It looks like
a completely different ute than the one that we initially
bought for a dollar. Look out for our Ford Falcon
this November on Auto Trader and of course Tell New

(25:40):
Zealand about your car.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Another thing we need to tell New Zealand about is
the book is out.

Speaker 4 (25:44):
Yes, the ACC ten Year Sports Almanac Book, hardcover book
is out today, available today. We went out and signed
three hundred copies yesterday, my god, out at Mighty Ape.
You've got a touch on that actually, and the CEO
of Mighty Ape game you are whipping on the table
tennis table beforehand.

Speaker 1 (26:05):
And then we had to sign three hundred books. And
that's when I became aware that I actually don't have
a signature.

Speaker 6 (26:10):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (26:10):
Well, I also was signing at G lane, which is
not my normal signature, and I occasionally got the yips
and signed half my proper one half because my probably
name is James Michael Lane. Yes, so my signature is
James Lane. But you can't so I put G lane.
But then halfway through I get the yips on the
G and the alans. Couple of them are a couple
of them are not tidy.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
For anyone out there has not written their signature three
hundred consecutive times.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
Boy, do you get the yips? I was slicing them,
hogging them. I chunked a couple of them well, and
I made I made the stupid decision to do a
gag at the start and drew a cock on balls
on every signature. Yea, and I had to commit to
the gag, so I drew three hundred cocks on the
six hundred balls. Six hundred balls.

Speaker 3 (26:53):
That's right.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
But you can get those signed copies if you go
to Mighty Ape, search acc Almanac or Alternative up and
the book will come up, and it's on a special,
a launch special at City five ninety nine, which is
fucking cheap.

Speaker 3 (27:08):
Look it's a big book. Yeah, it's a big hard
cover book.

Speaker 4 (27:11):
And I and you'll and you'll probably get a signed
copy because I've got three hundred of them that they
so the next three hundred they sell on there, you'll
get that. But you can get it from any good bookstores,
wet calls, paper plus anywhere.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
And about five of those pre orders have Lane's actual
signature on it. So if you wanted to forge it
for anything totally is, you've got a five and three
hundred chance of getting that. I was wondering if the
ones that we signed would be half priced because we've yeah,
significantly devalued.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
I think so, yeah, I mean that probably kind of
kind of white out ours and leave Jeremy Wells is
in there. Yeah, that's probably the most valuable one.

Speaker 1 (27:47):
I would say thirty five bucks. I reckon forty is
about the sweet spot for a Christmas present. Yeah, you know,
I wouldn't want to spend you know, you can't put
a price on love, but if you had to be
about forty bucks.

Speaker 4 (27:57):
This is a great gift for the hard to buy
for because any any kind of dude over the age
of kind of thirty thirty five, it's quite hard to
think what to buy them, because they by themselves here
yeah I think they want yeah, and it's like a fuck,
whatld I get them?

Speaker 5 (28:10):
You know?

Speaker 4 (28:10):
And usually you default into some sort of voucher, rebel
sport voucher, or some sort of west Fields, yeah, west
Fields or something. But this is perfect. It's got all
of our west stories, our best stories, oral histories, heaps
of pictures.

Speaker 1 (28:24):
I'll tell you what. You peir that up with a
twelve pack of export Ultra, wrap that up. That's Christmas sorted.

Speaker 4 (28:31):
Absolutely.

Speaker 3 (28:31):
Because either the.

Speaker 1 (28:33):
Men in your life or woman knows and likes the
alternative commentary collective, or they know and hate the alternative
comment at which point it's a gag gift.

Speaker 6 (28:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (28:43):
They love these guys for fuck that. So yeah, that's
I'm saying right now, right now, go and get it. Yeah,
turn this podcast off and go and get it, and
then come back and listen.

Speaker 2 (28:53):
To yours please, yours please, brought you by Leader of
the List.

Speaker 3 (29:00):
On a couple to get through today. First call here,
yours please.

Speaker 6 (29:06):
I just wanted to say it hasn't gone unnoticed that
Lane has managed to shirk all of us.

Speaker 4 (29:10):
Scoorehol those possibilities, gets back from Europe and suddenly he goes.

Speaker 3 (29:14):
Oh, you know what, actually I need to help out
on the morning show. I need to go and fill
in for them.

Speaker 5 (29:19):
I'm just going to be gone for the next couple
of days in the morning, so you can drop the
kids off to where they're gone.

Speaker 6 (29:23):
I'm bidding it's home and.

Speaker 4 (29:24):
The house is empty.

Speaker 6 (29:25):
Heads to himself. Did this well well played?

Speaker 4 (29:28):
Mate? Okay, it's definitely gone noticed. I'll tell you that.
I just you know, we peek behind the curtains. It's
definitely gone noticed. Has been noted. It has been noted. Okay,
so I have not got away with this. That's not
like some sort of perfect crime.

Speaker 1 (29:44):
Yeah, because obviously the drop off you're doing breakfast at
the moment with Jerry on Hidaky. The drop off, yeah,
that is out of the question. There's no drop off,
but there's a pickup. There's a pickup every afternoon. Oh yeah,
oh yeah, No, no, which is more punishing the morning
drop off or the afternoon pick up.

Speaker 4 (30:04):
I prefer the pick up, actually, yeah, because the drop
off involves you've got to make all the lunches. So
it's three lunches, you've got to make, get them dressed,
breakfast dressed, T give you got your books. So yeah,
all that ship sounds and in summer comps you got
your sunscreen on your Yeah, all that ship. But the

(30:25):
pick up is like yo, getting the fucking car. He's
a cookie years yeah yeah, but yeah, at least what
the drop off.

Speaker 1 (30:35):
There is a finish line, you know, this is true,
they're gone, yeah, whereas the pickup could often start.

Speaker 4 (30:41):
You know, yeah, I I can do both, but I
do the pick up for the pick up. And look,
this may shock you to the core, Yes, but I
make the lunches every morning.

Speaker 3 (30:51):
No, I know you have told me this. It's my
Olympic sports.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
It was your ringing endorsement for suit or if you
dream when you were sick, I made all of the
kids lunches. You made scones, muffinedokies, cookies.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
I was high as a kite.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
I was so hyper. God bless and bringing back for dream,
God bless?

Speaker 4 (31:08):
What's Seymour? And how that would help me? Like a
ton of back. That helped me at one hundred miles
an hour? That pseudo.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Oh mate, it saved my ears when we're in the overseas,
when I got the bender flu after October fish.

Speaker 4 (31:20):
Oh, you've got the October fist packs. Remember he was
selling fist packs.

Speaker 1 (31:24):
Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that had sudo for drin,
isn't it. But yeah, that saved me. So yeah, No,
it hasn't gone unnoticed at or it has gone very notice.
One more caller here, you're speeze.

Speaker 3 (31:37):
A few follows.

Speaker 5 (31:38):
Know that Southby's facing the knack Neck. Why don't you
start fundraising now? The Knacknack's got a good port. South
Canterburys must be close to the water somewhere, can get
a boat.

Speaker 6 (31:54):
I don't think about the navy.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
That's that's not a bad idea.

Speaker 4 (31:58):
Get a fairy leaving from Caroline Bay, Caroline Bay up
to the port of Tartanaki.

Speaker 1 (32:03):
Yep, A great we put down there in South Canterbury,
bottom of the port loop no and dogging spot down there,
so you know something for everyone down there. The problem
you'd have to do is that Tartanuki is on the
west coast. South Canerby is on the east coast, so
you're gonna have to cross the straight yeah, in some
sort of rackety old fer It's a dodgy stretch of

(32:24):
water too.

Speaker 6 (32:24):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (32:25):
Rough, it's a nice idea, but I think probably.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
The flight from what christ Church to this christ.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Church tomorrow to Wellington you can do. Yeah, okay, you
have to if you want to go to but if
they bust.

Speaker 4 (32:37):
A christ Chitch, I could just do christ Church to
Tartanaki direct.

Speaker 3 (32:41):
I think so. But I think that's worth a trip.

Speaker 4 (32:44):
I love Tanaki. Yeah, you get down there for a
weekend and we could probably commentate that game, isn't she.

Speaker 1 (32:50):
The only the only problem is this is an early crow.
This if ever there's a jinks that I've heard of,
it is starting to plan the trip.

Speaker 4 (32:58):
Oh yeah, they haven't wony, they haven't won, and they
went close against West coast.

Speaker 1 (33:02):
I think it was forty three thirty eight on the weekend,
so you don't want to get too ahead of yourself,
but we did. Like Barnesy said, if we fill their fridge,
they'll come and meet South Canbrian Wellington.

Speaker 4 (33:13):
What's halfway Wellington?

Speaker 1 (33:14):
I think Wellington only because the straight crossing is the yeah,
and although is it a shield challenge if Tartanuki aren't
in Tartanuki.

Speaker 3 (33:23):
Well they can.

Speaker 4 (33:23):
They can decide that you can take the shield on tour.

Speaker 1 (33:26):
That's that's their call. I think Wellington Caketon fill that
thing out easily. Fillers fridge. Oh yeah, well this this
is the thing we've been saying. We can't do much.
What we can do is provide beer, a lot of beer.
And so if we fill Neil barnes fridge, he'll meet
South Canabriyan Wellington. We'll have the the Shield Challenge there

(33:47):
and then for the first time in a long time,
the Shield will be in the Heartland Championship for at
least a year, which would be wild.

Speaker 3 (33:55):
All right, that'll do it for today. We'll not sing
on the head. We'll be back tomorrow for a Wednesday
edition of the Gender Podcast.

Speaker 2 (34:00):
