Speaker 1 (00:00):
Like for the Export Beer Gun Studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra the beer for here. This is
the Agenda Podcast for Wednesday, the eighteenth of September.

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

Speaker 1 (00:15):
A few moving parts this morning on the podcast. Later
on Isisodia will be popping on to discuss all things
summer of cricket. But it is a great pleasure to
welcome back into a recently refurbished Export Beer Gun Studio.

Speaker 3 (00:27):
James mccarnie, Good morning, James, Thank you very much, good
morning more than How are you both?

Speaker 4 (00:33):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (00:33):
James, geez? I mean like we haven't seen you since
pre Olympics.

Speaker 1 (00:37):
Yeah, how was Paris?

Speaker 4 (00:38):
James?

Speaker 3 (00:38):
Yeah, the pre limps they were. That was a good
time going over there. I went via San Diego for yourself. Yeah,
so went there. Was shocked to hear the all Blacks
didn't even know the movie, Like you kidding me? No,
I it was Ethan Blackadder and one other. But I
mean Ethan looks like he's on from AKA. He looks

(01:00):
like you chuck him in a news team fight. He's
the Sports Got anchor for the other network. For Vince
Vaughan's one. They didn't know anything about it. Even Razer
didn't really know.

Speaker 1 (01:11):
That saddens me no, because that's a generational thing because
you ask any of those sort of Beaver in his era,
they could quote the entire movie start to finish.

Speaker 3 (01:20):
Correct, So they pride themselves on Happy Gilmore quotes, Ancorman
quotes the whole lot back to front. In fact, if
they had to set exams and it was Happy Gilmore
and Anchorman, they'll be top scholars.

Speaker 4 (01:31):
Yeah, but this is the problem.

Speaker 3 (01:33):
I was going armed with Anchorman sort of references, thinking
this is going to be tons of fun, and then
I was shocked to the core to realize it just
fell on their fairs.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Nap can't help you to Maighty Williams might have been
the other one.

Speaker 3 (01:45):
Anyway. They told me their favorite movies. One was a
Clint Eastwood movie. So it's not necessarily a timeline thing.
It's just their choice was really high brow quality movie.
Like it was like a like they're working for the
EA channel or something. It's like, this is actually a classic.

Speaker 5 (02:02):
Can we link that to the results?

Speaker 3 (02:05):
Oh yeah, the Anchorman, Well, they rectified it because Dog
roll said, oh, I'm going to sort this out. And
they had a team night and they watched and command.

Speaker 4 (02:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (02:15):
Okay, so you you've been managed to effect change. Yeah yeah.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
And then then they lost.

Speaker 1 (02:20):
But it's good. You've reintroduced that cycle of dudes sitting
around quoting and command back and forth in each other.

Speaker 4 (02:25):
Yeah, exactly. That was important.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Then we went to Paris and all, my word, great
city that actually embraced the Olympics so well. Sustainable. You know,
they only built about two ve news which is a
record for minimalist. Yeah, you know, like not splashing up
big time. They should have the Olympics there every third Olympics. Really,
it's one of those cities that can handle it, big enough,

(02:47):
enough accommodation, you.

Speaker 1 (02:49):
Know, no poosing the river anymore.

Speaker 3 (02:51):
Well, I feel like that's going to happen again. Now
there must be a cycle of poo there.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
I reckon is a backlog. They had a big dam.
They had a big dam, and then whenever. I love
logs and logs and stacks, but if.

Speaker 3 (03:03):
You get one of those sieves, you know, the poulsit
and if you've got them all on the on the
side of the sad sifting out the poo. Then of
course he's going to be a bit less. But if
you once you take away those SIEV guys, yeah, then
the poo returns. Yeah the pooh, the pooh comes back.

Speaker 1 (03:18):
But you interviewed Reagan.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
I interviewed Reagan.

Speaker 3 (03:20):
In fact, that is the only important thing I did
the entire Olympics, because I looked at the schedule and
I went, I don't think I'm covering any metal medals here.
Clearly Sky thinks I'm I carry a whoope cushion around
and then I'm just the you.

Speaker 4 (03:33):
Know, massive clown guy.

Speaker 3 (03:36):
So I was like going to all these random events,
which I was happy about, but I insisted on covering
breakdancing because I said, it's you know, it's making history.
And so I went with the intention of doing a
story about, hey, how cool is breakdancing in the Olympics.
Then all of a sudden, there's this Aussie and full tracksuit,
writhing on the ground like she's out of Kath and Kim,
and I was texting everybody, probably not you because it

(03:57):
was the middle of the night, going current quick gets
in on the telly. There's an Aussie just riding on
the floor and it's a crack up. So, yeah, that
was Raygun.

Speaker 5 (04:08):
Yeah, I've got a photo. I took a screenshot. I
need to find it. You have to talk amongst yourselves
for a little bit. But it is basically raygun dancing
and in the corner you can see James mccaroney on
the balcony like it's one of the great photos someone.

Speaker 1 (04:25):
I think someone sent it in because they were rewatching
all of the raygun highlights. But you could you couldn't
have known that that was going to be a massive,
like viral meme when she was doing that.

Speaker 3 (04:35):
Could you know? You could? Because the issue was when
I and you know this as well. You know when
you go to an event and everybody is like, you're going,
oh shit, that's unbelievable. She's so good, and then someone
gets out there and you go, oh And then I
looked at the camera operator beside me and I just went.

Speaker 4 (04:54):
I was just crack it up.

Speaker 3 (04:55):
But you should not be laughing at a breakdancing breaking competition. There,
I am, yes, and I think I am smiling slightly.
There she's doing this the windmill thing.

Speaker 5 (05:07):
Yes, he's in the windmill. You're sitting there, you're in
your like a Hawaiian shirt potentially or some sort of
style style print. Yeah in the background there, but yeah,
that's pretty as rumors. Also, James that when you interviewed here,
it was felt like there was a little bit of chemistry.

Speaker 4 (05:24):
Yeah, it was a bit.

Speaker 3 (05:25):
I mean, look, I can't deny there's some you know,
she's only human Reagan and well special human, because I
felt like my interview was the last kind interview that
she had because Channel and I I'm not sure what
they did with her. But then when I was talking
to her, she was still on this high she was going.

Speaker 1 (05:41):
And I do think she went well.

Speaker 5 (05:43):
I think I think she knows she got zero zero
zero from all judges.

Speaker 3 (05:48):
I think she knows she caused a stir. But then
she didn't realize she was going to have like some guy,
you know, Danny Widler from Channel seven or Channel line,
chasing him down the street going.

Speaker 4 (05:58):
What the hell was that?

Speaker 3 (05:59):
Regah, how do you feel about disgracing the nation? So
that's what happened the next day. I think she had
the tabloid reporters after here. But when she was wandering
through what we call the mixing, so they go and
talk to everybody.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
I interviewed her.

Speaker 3 (06:12):
I realized that she was pretty happy, yeah, and sincere
about being there. And I was sort of asking questions
like you could put in the middle of my question,
you know, the how, like what the how the hell
did you qualify?

Speaker 4 (06:27):
You know what I mean?

Speaker 3 (06:28):
But instead it was like, how did you qualify? You
beat the Kiwi's Oh yeah, I beat the Kiwi?

Speaker 1 (06:32):
What the fuck is that track?

Speaker 4 (06:33):
Exactly?

Speaker 3 (06:33):
What the fuck as all the fuck? You know, like,
and that's the thing, because you could go where the
fuck was that?

Speaker 4 (06:38):
But instead you go what was that?

Speaker 3 (06:40):
It looks like you're inspired by wildlife, you know, like
that sort of thing.

Speaker 1 (06:44):
That's expert journalism.

Speaker 4 (06:45):
James. Yeah, so take out.

Speaker 3 (06:47):
The fuck and you actually can give them the respect
that well they kind of deserve. They're an Olympian, right.
She goes through NBC beside me. He was on his phone.
He didn't even want to interview Rag and I'm like,
rookie era, Yeah, she's going to be the biggest deal,
and she has wandered past. Then I saw her with
a cluster of journalists and I saw one in the

(07:07):
front who's a little bulldog of a woman. I thought
you and Assie was going to ask the inevitable, Yeah, exactly,
what the fuck do you think it's fair that you
come here and represent Australia and put on a display
like that, you know or whatever? Though it would have
been I reckon that would have been her first tough question.
And then when she got out of I guess that area.

(07:29):
I think she's even said that the media manager of
the Ossie Olympic team started giving her advice on how
to handle shit storm.

Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, exactly what advice would you possibly have been able
to give it? There's no way that could have seen
that was going to be that viral. Everyone's going to
be talking about it.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
The only thing should have than her was the sin right,
Matt he'd got fired this morning?

Speaker 4 (07:54):
Awkward?

Speaker 5 (07:54):
Yah know? Which was Yeah, he got sack from radio Hurricane.

Speaker 4 (07:57):
That's a bigger deal.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
Can we talk about Heath because I feel like as
a as an early agenda, I wasn't the earliest. Here's
the og of the agenda is not gay, so if
you sect them from here.

Speaker 5 (08:08):
As well, No, No, he's still welcome here. He's still
a big part of the ACC but is because I
feel he's going to need a creative outlet.

Speaker 1 (08:17):
So if you don't know. He's evolved. He has announced
that he's leaving the Met and Jury show and he's
moving to afternoons on News Talks, which initially I thought
he was taking the purse, because everything on this show
is taking the purse, but it is real.

Speaker 5 (08:28):
Scot J. Stevens has said, great move for Matt because
he doesn't have to pronounce mighty words correctly anymore.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Well, I mean he will get that rhyme and healthcare
money way, the one thing that he is always quite good.

Speaker 5 (08:41):
And that's going to be here. I did say to
him outside just before we came in here, and I said,
I'm going to call that show every day, and he goes,
we're going to have your number. Your number is going
to be blocked. But I said, I'll get some burners,
don't you worry about that. Our goal will to beget
on your show at least once a week with some
sort of questions.

Speaker 1 (08:59):
A it's a segment that rights itself podcast.

Speaker 5 (09:02):
He's gonna he's gonna light up afternoons on ZB and
I can't wait. I can't wait it.

Speaker 4 (09:06):
My big theory is a bit of a Yoko theory.

Speaker 3 (09:09):
I feel like Matt he's girlfriend has arrived come on
the scene, and you're blaming Tracy.

Speaker 4 (09:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:15):
Yeah, Well, I mean, to be honest, Tracy, I know
that you're a wonderful human and you've made a big
difference to Matt's life. But I do feel like she's
yokoed that show, and so to be honest, I actually
want to defend Yoko because I saw that documentary that
Peter Jackson put together on the Beatles, and I thought
Yoko wasn't owner. I thought she was okay, she was

(09:36):
actually all right. She was so bad.

Speaker 1 (09:37):
It's the footage of her bomb in the interview of
the performance with Chuck Berry and John Lennon playing, and
then she's in the background. She picks up a fucking tambourine.
Then she starts screaming into the microphone. They turned a
microphone off.

Speaker 3 (09:53):
She got exactly she got worse afterwards.

Speaker 4 (09:55):
R Yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:55):
Yeah, that's the thing because in that documentary it looks
like she's just hanging out and Paul doesn't seem that
worried about it, and it's just their relationship. I think
they're doing their own Matt and Jerry, aren't they just
go okay?

Speaker 4 (10:07):
Yeah, time it is said.

Speaker 1 (10:09):
I mean it's I can't remember a time when Matt
Heath wasn't on radio.

Speaker 5 (10:12):
Had you know, fourteen years?

Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, fourteen years. It's a long inning.

Speaker 5 (10:17):
So it's a very long started with the Matt Heath
Drive Show, which was potentially the wildest radio show on
the planet. There was no one listening at that stage.
Haki was very much in the depths, but he's ridden
it all the way. That's fourteen years.

Speaker 3 (10:32):
Big mistake calling of the Matt and Jury Show. Do
you not think now that you've got this massive.

Speaker 5 (10:36):
Brand, well you have to hire another mat Yeah that's.

Speaker 1 (10:38):
All right, Yeah, do you have to Jesus is going
to be a Matt Chisolm, Matt Watson, Matt Watson, Yeah,
oh yeah, Matty Ridge.

Speaker 5 (10:46):
Oh here we go.

Speaker 1 (10:49):
Solved it matthew Ridge on the Matt and Jerry Show.

Speaker 3 (10:53):
But yeah, because other ones do the old They do
their rumble in the what's the other Breakfast Show? Cool,
the Morning, Madhouse, the Madhouse, and the Wild and Wooly
wusers flashing toast.

Speaker 5 (11:06):
Yeah, shout out to Flesh and Toast up in North
nor Is that called Flesh and Toast?

Speaker 1 (11:12):
Yeah, well I actually think that is their name.

Speaker 4 (11:14):
Yeah, it was.

Speaker 3 (11:17):
Flashing toast like a bales cricket bells, but it's fleshings.

Speaker 5 (11:22):
When your toast is ready flashing flaming toasts.

Speaker 1 (11:26):
The name name swansor no, no, I think flash and toast.

Speaker 4 (11:28):
Okay you so okay? Replacements.

Speaker 3 (11:31):
I see there's a lot of people sniffing around today,
including Scottie Jay Stevenson Sumo himself.

Speaker 5 (11:37):
Like he's got a very he's got He's got a
good enough job at the moment, isn't he And he's
he's on his he's on TV ins.

Speaker 4 (11:43):
But why is he here?

Speaker 5 (11:44):
He was coming? He's come to say goodbye?

Speaker 3 (11:46):
Ah right, okay, sort of felt like a came to
dance on his grave. But we have tap shoes on.

Speaker 5 (11:52):
But we are immediately stealing away his X and taking
him to Amsterdam. Yeah, so we're going to show him
a better time. So Jerry's going out with us tonight
to the Export Ultra Beer Garden to it. Yes, So
he's broken up and then we're just whiskey him away
just to take his mind off it and just take
him somewhere else.

Speaker 3 (12:09):
I've given Manaiah a couple of recommendations, but the one
for Munich apart from going to the newdest Beach, which
is on the river in the.

Speaker 4 (12:17):
Park, isn't it.

Speaker 3 (12:18):
In the park is a half brow house, which is
a big old pub in the middle of town, which
is kind of like it's a gateway drug.

Speaker 5 (12:25):
To the BFS.

Speaker 4 (12:27):
So you go in there and it's pretty cool.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Any tips for Amsterdam? Have you been to Amsterdam? Recon No,
I've never been to Amsterdam.

Speaker 4 (12:36):
We've got I think there are tips.

Speaker 3 (12:37):
You will see tips, yeah, and then you will and
you will get more than your bargain.

Speaker 4 (12:42):
For it there in that place where it sounds generously.

Speaker 5 (12:44):
We need to write some wrongs there.

Speaker 3 (12:45):
From our last visit, there's a lot of tattoo parlors
and a lot of people making regrettable decisions late at night.

Speaker 1 (12:51):
And I shan't be getting a tattoo in Amsterdam, I
don't think. Or is this in Munich Amsterdam?

Speaker 4 (12:55):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (12:55):
Right, yeah, I won't be getting a tattooed in Amsterdam.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Right except okay? Whoever?

Speaker 3 (13:06):
Hey, look, look the thing with the Met and Jerry
show is too. I mean, Jerry just keeps on going,
doesn't he like, I don't know, he's an absolute chameleon.

Speaker 5 (13:15):
He's he's doing the metronomes. He's a broadcasting metronome.

Speaker 3 (13:18):
Is really so he's just plowing on and whoever you
need to get alongside. I mean, Matt Heath was truly
weird and wonderful, and so you sort of need either
to go down that track or or do you just
sort of say it doesn't matter because this thing is
going to work anyway.

Speaker 1 (13:34):
I don't know if jeweling Jeremys would work if you
if you had another Jeremy Wells sitting opposite from Jeremy.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Wells well Hillary Barry.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Oh yeah, Hillary Barry, Oh my god.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
They have a rapport.

Speaker 6 (13:48):
I've got to say, I've watched that show.

Speaker 4 (13:50):
They do not add lib at all.

Speaker 3 (13:51):
Like I I work on a show used to host
the crowdgos Wild, and the ad lib's a thirty seconds
to a minute, maybe a minute thirty if something's happening
on radio, if you.

Speaker 4 (14:01):
Have a voice break, how long is it my night?
Three minutes?

Speaker 3 (14:03):
Three minutes on seven sharp? I reckon ten seconds, yeah
right yeah, but a bitter back and.

Speaker 4 (14:09):
Forth and it's gone.

Speaker 3 (14:10):
So ship they have to stretch it out to be
like keep going.

Speaker 4 (14:15):
We need a point, we need a beginning, middle, and
an end.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Might be the first time they've ever actually talked to
each other exactly.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
I'm always amazed at how short their ad libs are.

Speaker 5 (14:24):
It's a very short show. Really, it's only twenty two minutes,
and of which I think maybe seventeen minutes of that
is out and about.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
So scrugg as well, Mane, we still get some ad
libs in there. We're libs Central. I guess what would
happen is the boomers might rain down fury if if
there's any show, any wine of personality.

Speaker 1 (14:42):
Also in that ten seconds, jury inevitably will sneak in
something like pussy or you know, something.

Speaker 5 (14:49):
Like that, so finger bashing.

Speaker 1 (14:50):
Yeah, so I think it's a bit of a short
leash type situation as well.

Speaker 5 (14:53):
Yeah, now what damage can he do?

Speaker 3 (14:57):
Second, if you go past fifteen seconds, it's a real day,
just territory for him.

Speaker 4 (15:00):
He starts starts to twitch.

Speaker 5 (15:03):
For Jane, my love pussy.

Speaker 1 (15:07):
It's like letting a talkback caller get to this second point.
It's inevitable racist every single time. Yeah, all right, let's
take a quick break. We'll come back and talk about
some actual sporting events. Fellas the Hot Spring Spars T
twenty Black Clash and association with Wolfbrookers, both the longest
name for a sporting event and also back for twenty twenty.

Speaker 5 (15:27):
Five and most more importantly James mcconey and Meni Stuart.
So is the Export Ultra Parti Zone. So we launched
that for the first time Bay Oval last year, oh
this year, and it went off and so we're doing
it again. It's going to be done in christ Church
at Hagley Oval. Very limited tickets to our parties own,

(15:48):
so you're going to have to maybe keep your ears
out for that because the wait list for pre sale
tickets are out on the second of October.

Speaker 1 (15:54):
Okay, I have no idea when that is what we
are the highlights and low lights of the party zone
for you.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
Last year highlights we're getting everyone to do the Viking
clap and get the chance going low lights was actually
just getting people to do stuff. No one were doing
anything until I told them to what.

Speaker 4 (16:12):
Are we doing?

Speaker 5 (16:13):
And I'm like, it's like a song? What song? I
was like, I don't know a song?

Speaker 1 (16:19):
Shee sheet, that's good, we can do that.

Speaker 4 (16:22):
Give me that great, great sing.

Speaker 5 (16:24):
Everyone they're all in state of ship hats, all had
their Export Ultra Party shirts, on this year, Snacker Cheney
is joining the party zone as well, so everyone gets
a big Snacker Cheny's. The Sparple will be in the
front again.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
I've got a song to start us off, by the way,
I reckon we should play this one here.

Speaker 4 (16:49):
Very long, and.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
In fact, the part I wanted to play is about
thirty seconds and this is Chris Gale by the way. Yeah,
I reckon, this is good one because Chris Gail is
coming this year.

Speaker 5 (17:02):
He's a draw card, a massive upgrade from Brian Lara.
No disrespect to the great man Brian Lara. Yeah, but
Chris Gail is still fresh off just playing and he
can still hit big sex.

Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yeah, there's a bit of a weekend that Bernie's vibe
to Brian Lara wasn't there. It just felt like he's
been carried through the whole thing. But I was still
excited to see what Brian Lara. Yeah, but it was
just the disappointment of I don't know, you just thought
he was still going to still going to have it.

Speaker 5 (17:32):
Felt very sorry for him when he came off and
interviewed him and he's like, I'm a fifty five year
old man.

Speaker 1 (17:37):
It's been drinking with Lee.

Speaker 5 (17:38):
Yeah, I'm like, what did you expect from me?

Speaker 4 (17:42):
It's like, but you look so good.

Speaker 5 (17:43):
I know he lived in great Neck. In the helmet
apart from the helmet.

Speaker 1 (17:47):
Oh yeah, they gave me a child's helmet. That did
trick Chris Gaale into coming here though, because in the
press release he said, I saw Brian Lara playing and
he was like, what's this TA twenty league? Brian Lara
is playing in a New Zealanders saw the rugby players.
I want to plan that? And he found out that
it was just one game. He's like, brilliant, big next season. Yeah.
Big fan of the All Blacks as well was Chris Gale,

(18:08):
so he always wanted to be an All Black winger.
Really yeah, oh wow?

Speaker 3 (18:12):
Can I make a couple of suggestions Gulane for the
Black Yes. By the way, I love the coverage last year.
What a broadcast. I felt like it was one of
those collective moments where everyone seemed to have nothing to
do that night, you know, even though it was the
middle of summer. They go, we've had the Barbie, let's
watch the Black Class. It was ticks flying around, everybody
was into it. The mention of the Charcuterie board. There's

(18:32):
a lot that I felt so like spar Paul Shenanigans,
but I feel like that bonus over, the bonus run,
over the double w the theubbly those runs should be
added to the team total, but not the baddest total
because I feel like, are they yeah, that's yeah, because
it just skews everything the wrong way and you kind

(18:54):
of go kan Re scored eighty seven and it's like.

Speaker 4 (18:57):
Oh, doubly lovely.

Speaker 3 (18:59):
I think you're addit to the added to the team.
Still fine, Yeah, don't addit to the better.

Speaker 5 (19:04):
That's a good that's a good shout. It should just
be a separate line that has doubly yeah.

Speaker 4 (19:11):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 5 (19:11):
Admittedly, that last game in total, if you're a cricket fan,
was the worst game of the lot cricket team of
the rugby team really struggled so as a party though
as a party easily the best, and as a broadcast
I think it was the biggest audience they've ever had.
But they really need to get Chris Chris gal is
obviously playing for Team Rugby. They need to get Will

(19:33):
Jordan back and fit. They need to get Jock McKenzie
and they need to get Jordi Barrett. Only issue being
the Super Rugby season has been bought even closer to
that start of that date. It's now the fourteenth of
February and this game is like the nineteenth of jan
So I don't know if that's knocking too close to preseason.

Speaker 3 (19:51):
I think Jock McKenzie will be in the in the
Aces squad this year for the summer, but I think
he is actually playing in Amsterdam so he might be
able to. I was going to do some negotiations with
the Red Light District.

Speaker 5 (20:06):
Let us in.

Speaker 3 (20:09):
We've got a contract here for you and it's tattoo.
But I think, like if you yeah, I mean you're right.
I know what you're saying. You need that balance to
be a perfect balance in the force. I think is
it time to bring that Andy what's his name from
Hamish and Andy Beck?

Speaker 4 (20:23):
Oh? Absolutely he was good, wasn't he?

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Andy Lee?

Speaker 4 (20:26):
Well?

Speaker 3 (20:26):
Game winning, catch, game win and catch proper broadcaster. Yeah, exactly.
Look I love Thursday last year as well.

Speaker 1 (20:32):
Thurston was great. I felt bad because we were interviewing
him from the commentary box and the directors were saying, look,
you've got one more over with him and it was
obviously in his contract or something, but I was like,
this guy's bowling at Brian Lara and he's got three
absolute idiots in his ear chirping it. I was like,
I felt like I was robbing him of a moment.

Speaker 4 (20:48):
You know. Yeah that coooker barrough laugh as well. He was.

Speaker 5 (20:52):
He was great and postmatch, he was just walking around
on the trap tequila and he came up to us
and he goes with quila and I was like, yeah,
fuck you slammed. Kenny goes, what are you doing?

Speaker 4 (21:02):
Wait?

Speaker 5 (21:02):
Fucking every one to have it and I'm gonna get one.
I'm like sorry, he says, grab another one, and I.

Speaker 4 (21:06):
Was okay, this is what ritual?

Speaker 5 (21:09):
Yeah, what are you doing? Sorry?

Speaker 4 (21:10):
I Drew by thirst.

Speaker 5 (21:12):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (21:12):
Yeah, he's a great man and you're right, but I
felt like, mind you did he get him out? Alie
Williams did ah right, Yeah, that's yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:23):
There was another kid that got him out. Was it's
son or nephew, Yes, anathm clems son. He bowled him
almost immediately and then as he was walking halfway off
and no ball was called yeah front foot, no ball.

Speaker 4 (21:36):
Miraculous and trying to save the legend, so.

Speaker 1 (21:39):
Scalably he'll go off Chris Gales.

Speaker 3 (21:42):
It says to me that the pre match and the
postmatch is going to reach another level.

Speaker 5 (21:48):
Yeah, and he's good friends with Vittoria as well. They
played a lot of Bengalore both as players and when
he was coaching the team as well, So I think
victory Victorial and he got put in charge of sitting
attacking Brian Larr at all the great golf courses as well.
So he in Thurston, they went and played Tiata and everything.
So not so much of a golfer Chris galers though.

Speaker 3 (22:09):
I think I think Bangalore will be the war cry
on the night, won't it.

Speaker 4 (22:15):
Bangalore? It's a bank hell yeah?

Speaker 1 (22:19):
And unfortunately New Zealand doesn't have many great strip clubs
to take Chris Gale to the other show. Yeah, I
don't know if he plays golf.

Speaker 3 (22:26):
Could you set one up on the Oh no you can't.
I mean, I'm just trying to think of the sponsors.
If you brought Ultra party zone, we just put a
pole and then do you watch?

Speaker 4 (22:38):
It has to be you have to be, you know,
a hairy gentleman.

Speaker 5 (22:42):
It's all inclusive with anyone and by the way.

Speaker 3 (22:44):
Tom Walsh, who is a very good cricketer and played
I think he played in a junior Canterbury team with
all these like stars, so he was the only one
who didn't make it. Well obviously two Olympic medals, right
and come with gold. But he he he should invite
him back because he's a proper cricketer. Yeah, but he
I did a story with him where we went to

(23:05):
his training.

Speaker 4 (23:05):
He was training topless, big Yes, I saw a big man.

Speaker 3 (23:08):
And now it's been hijacked by the bear loving community,
the rainbow community. It's amazing all the comments and he's
loving it and we're loving it because we were you
topless as well. No I should have actually I should
have given them, yeah, a little something something, but they
were like all the comments now are like marry me
daddy and all this kind of stuff. Oh, it's really

(23:30):
good and he's got a new fan base Tom. So
I recommend that if he does field he feels topless
for at least two overs, you.

Speaker 1 (23:38):
Can make a bit of money off that.

Speaker 4 (23:39):
Yeah, he played hepless Tom for two over.

Speaker 5 (23:41):
He played in on two years ago and I remember
he hit the ball very very hard.

Speaker 3 (23:46):
Yeah, and he had good timing too, And I saw
that rolling diving fielding effort. You know, did you see
that from Tom Walsh? From Tom Walsh? I mean this
is one hundred and thirty five forty kilo man and
shitty rolled. Well it was good movie.

Speaker 1 (24:03):
Glorious front defensive for defensive when he walked out. But
at the last Olympic they did a cover drive drive.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
He mixed it up. Yeah, he was very, very good.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
And I mean, I guess who's Tom Walsh's age out
of the Canterbury cricket scene. I just met Henry, all
those guys, Todd as Stall, how.

Speaker 5 (24:23):
Tom, Oh, yeah, he's probably lays them. Yeah, they're all around.

Speaker 4 (24:27):
There, all those guys. Yeah, they're all his teammates. Yeah.
I know.

Speaker 1 (24:31):
The actual black Caps are playing this week, so actually
I think it starts this afternoon, yes after it's in
Africa's in Sri Lanka. Beautiful, beautiful ground. We talked yesterday
about how they're going to take a day off on
the Saturday because the Sri Lankan election is on Oh wow, yeah,
so it's going to take six days to get this
thing done. They used to do that, didn't They came
back in the day, have a rest they.

Speaker 5 (24:52):
Did, and it was notorious if you read all those
Ian Botham's book and you read all those old school
players of the seventies. It was used as a night
where the teams get together on day four and just
go and get fucking written off. Yeah, and then have
the day off, I have a recovery day and then
restart the test, which is so cricket that I love.
I love it, but obviously hasn't became more professional. They're like, hey,

(25:13):
why have we got this rest day? We everyone goes
out and.

Speaker 1 (25:15):
Gets get then the overte massively clients.

Speaker 5 (25:18):
Yeah, and all of a sudden, matches are staying to
go the other way because I've stipped some deal together
while they're at the pub.

Speaker 1 (25:24):
Yeah, southe's closing in on four hundred workits as well,
so he'll be the second. Can we ever to do
it behind Hadley?

Speaker 4 (25:31):
Yeah, Peddles.

Speaker 1 (25:32):
Yeah, the Tory finished on three sixty one.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
What if the Pedals have four thirty one or something
from something around there like that. Yeah, wow, I mean pedals.
No one's going to touch. His average is in twenty two,
I think, Yeah, so he he will always be the goat.
But that's awesome for Sauvi.

Speaker 1 (25:49):
If he took another thirty, would you consider him?

Speaker 4 (25:54):
It's going to be on average. I think it's got
to be on it.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
And in terms of five wok at bags, which is
the equivalent of centuries paddles, is almost like he's one
of the greatest of all time. Yeah, I think his
five wicket bags, right, I mean, I think he's got
thirty odd five wicket bags. I need to get on
an old wiki. Yeah, you can challenge me, Jerry. Where's Jeremy?

Speaker 1 (26:13):
Well yeah, I know, no, no, but don't worry. People
sending the voicemails don't know whether we got it right
or wrong. But yeah, you're right. I just I just
thought it was interesting that. I guess it's a longevity thing,
isn't it? For for Saudi? Not taking away from the
quality of the bowler. Oh absolutely, I mean he is
around forever. Yeah, and that's a testament to his fitness.

Speaker 5 (26:31):
Yes, that his body, especially fast bowler, has stood up
to it. Yeah, but he didn't.

Speaker 1 (26:37):
Play a lot of tests.

Speaker 5 (26:38):
Richard Hadley, I get up on the stairs.

Speaker 1 (26:41):
This was back in the he played in the day
when you'd only play a handful.

Speaker 5 (26:44):
Yeah, so he only played eighty six Test matches. Yeah, right,
so you know, compare that to now.

Speaker 3 (26:49):
So I was thirty six five wicket bags and yes,
four thirty one wickets wasn't too bad. I mean the
loong average of twenty two point twenty nine. So paddles,
it's from eighty six.

Speaker 5 (26:59):
To ten nineteen wicket bags as well. That's team that's
that's in a Test match across two winnings. But that's
nineteen wicket bags. That is that's insane, It's unbelievable.

Speaker 1 (27:09):
Yeah, that's fearsome. Yeah, okay, so Saudi just has to
get nine ten wicket bags and another thirty.

Speaker 5 (27:16):
Oh no, he will be one. He will go down
as one of the greats. When he fox over four hundred,
which I'm pretty sure he's targeting.

Speaker 1 (27:21):
He could do it in this one. Okay, I think
he's like three or four off.

Speaker 4 (27:24):
Yeah, if you remove the.

Speaker 3 (27:25):
Fact that he went to a very posh, posh school,
King's College and scholarship on scholarship, Tim Soudi is a
farm boy from Northland who just loved his cricket and
loved the Chiefs really because that was the boundary of
the Chiefs when they started. Yeah, so he's a he's
a chiefsmano guy and.

Speaker 4 (27:44):
He's unlikely.

Speaker 5 (27:45):
You know.

Speaker 3 (27:45):
It's like if you saw Saudi and Bolt walking down
the street, you're not going there's our pa.

Speaker 5 (27:49):
There's a certainly not. He's twenty away from four hundred. Yeah,
he's a two to eighty. So but he's got another
five Test matches though, So I mean, yeah, but you're
in India, it's pretty hard. I just got a bomb maidens.
Don't you build pressure? And then hopefully as Peel gets
all the wickets. Yeah, but in comparison he's had fifteen
five wicket bags.

Speaker 3 (28:09):
Yeah, he's had to share a bit more with old
Balty though, hasn't he.

Speaker 4 (28:12):
Yeah, and he's probably his defense.

Speaker 5 (28:14):
In just the one ten wicket for a testaments about
nine off.

Speaker 1 (28:17):
He'll get there. Also, the All Blacks are going to
play this week in Yeah, are we gonna schmid the
bed potentially this weekend? I saw that joke off Mattheath,
But he's gone now, he's gone his history.

Speaker 3 (28:30):
Take it upstairs to boomer f Yeah.

Speaker 5 (28:36):
Well now he can legitimately write his e bike into
work and.

Speaker 1 (28:39):
Not that should have been the first sign. Should have
been the first side.

Speaker 5 (28:43):
Well, there was a weekend shifts on ZB. He's written
a book.

Speaker 1 (28:46):
He was wearing a blazer when he didn't need to.

Speaker 5 (28:48):
Yeah, he's been signs.

Speaker 4 (28:49):
Wearing a book.

Speaker 3 (28:50):
I was wearing a book, writing a book about mental
sort of well being and stuff like that. It does
feel like he's positioning himself as a as this kind
of an oracle, a bit of a sort of a
keeper of wisdom, you know, And so he's ready to
impart that uninterrupted without that pesky Jeremy Wells. So he'll

(29:10):
just switch on the mic. I won't take you calls
just yet give me.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
But yeah, I've seen a lot of headlines about the
All Blacks this week saying, oh, look that not to
be underestimated these Wallabies blah blah blah. Are they just
trying to drum up and trist because we're actually going
to pants the Wallabies this week.

Speaker 5 (29:27):
If we don't, if we don't win this weekend, then
there's going to be some serious questions asked. I think
I think I've really been relatively forgiving about South Africa
because that is a fucking good team and you're playing
away in South Africa. That for me, I'm like, I
love it in the fact that the All Blacks are
almost underdogs now and you know, and the real fans

(29:49):
will come out and I quite like it, but saying
that Australia looks so shit that if we get tripped
up by them, then we have to look at ourselves
and go oh yeah.

Speaker 3 (29:59):
I mean the level of those Springbok tests just like
nothing else. It's like when you know, the eye test
says that is something incredible, like a really great Origin game,
you just go, okay, that's another level up. Whereas every
time you watch Australia player go oh yeah, every.

Speaker 1 (30:15):
A Tier two nation they are, they get.

Speaker 3 (30:17):
They drag teams down into their world and you don't
don't want to be part of that, which is they're
all about structure. Even more so with Joe Schmidt, who
is one of my favorite people in rugby because when
he was assistant coach of the Blues, he was just
a lot of fun. They'd have staff games a touch
and Joe Schmidt would turn up and just do real
silly things and I think that's quite cool because he's
these the assistant coach is happy to throw some weird

(30:39):
freaking flick pass and so but I think he's anti
flick passes and as a coach, I think he's very
risk averse and he's like no offloads. You can imagine
if he had to coach Sonny Bill, he'd be like, hey,
put that chicken wing away, because I think he's very
like you hit the ruck here and then we go

(31:00):
to here, and then they do this and then.

Speaker 4 (31:02):
So he'll have a grand plan.

Speaker 3 (31:03):
And as much as the Wallabies want to beat the
All Blacks, I feel like Joe just for his own
coaching kind of manna is the status.

Speaker 4 (31:12):
He will want it real bad.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, will fire a few shots at least.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah, and if they don't follow that, that plan that
he's given them, which I reckon, would be so many
x's and o's.

Speaker 4 (31:22):
You can imagine.

Speaker 3 (31:23):
It's like that meme where Zach galifan Arkis has got
all the.

Speaker 1 (31:27):
Numbers flooding numbers and.

Speaker 3 (31:28):
Yeah, yeah they all there. They called ship maths problems. Yeah,
just filing around anyway. You can imagine if the Wallabies
don't follow that, then who knows what he'll do at halftime.
That's when you want to actually have a look and see, yeah,

(31:49):
we had a plan and it's like this, like Tom
cruise from Minority reports and.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
You're still fuck yeah and you're commentating that one this
weekend as well.

Speaker 5 (32:00):
Five forty five in the afternoon, telling you yourself and
Tony lot five forty five for these that we've got
criticized for not doing this theF contest, but we are
back and we're doing those games on Skysport Night and
iHeartRadio at the more. I don't know if it's more
palatable time of five forty five, but it's the Australian
Rugby Union running from the finals weekend of NRL and

(32:23):
putting it on at three point thirty in the afternoon
in Sydney, so that's why it's on an odd time,
but you know it gives you a full night of
footy though if you're into the narrow and the less.

Speaker 4 (32:34):
I mean, it's actually quite nice, isn't that. I was
for the ACC.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
Well, I haven't seen the team that obviously Razor names
it tomorrow, so ye, look, it could be some interesting selections.

Speaker 4 (32:48):
It could be you reckon.

Speaker 5 (32:50):
Yeah, I think he's played it pretty I think he's
played it pretty straight back since he's been in Yeah, Razor,
you know he's quirky and you know a bit crazy
outside of it, but because I mean, Titi was probably
the biggest call he's made. I reckon maybe dropping Tatutu.
It was a big call, but I don't, I can't.
I didn't think it as funky as it was. People

(33:10):
who are expected.

Speaker 3 (33:11):
Well, when I say interesting, I mean I think the
whatever team they put out in Cape Town, I think
there will be there'll be changes.

Speaker 4 (33:18):
Right, yeah, yeah, definitely.

Speaker 3 (33:20):
So that's the thing is, like I i'd say, whoever
comes back into it, like for example, of Caleb Clark
is fit again, I think he comes back, and I
don't think will Jordan will. He might not start at
Fallback this time. Maybe I don't know.

Speaker 4 (33:33):
I was.

Speaker 3 (33:34):
I feel like there's this room for even a bit
of a bit of a tweaking between d MAC and
and Bowden. You know, the ten fifteen axes could be
getting some tweakage.

Speaker 4 (33:46):
Oh really, Well, I don't know, but I mean.

Speaker 5 (33:48):
It's it's just are you suggesting in your tone of
voice that potentially DMC might go back to Fallback and
Body the first But yes, yes.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
But I'm all for d MAC at team, even though
I love Body at ten as well. I just feel
like you got to stick with a guy and say
this is your position. Have have the most of the
season playing there, and we'll work out whether that's gonna work.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Yeah, I think all will be revealed this weekend. Up,
can see Sody waiting just outside the studio, so we're
going to knock this in on the head here. Thank
you very much for coming in James when we get back.

Speaker 4 (34:20):
Great to see you, mate, Lovely cheers guys.

Speaker 1 (34:24):
Well, it's a great pleasure to welcome into the show
for I believe the first time ever is Sody live
and Studiosha you know.

Speaker 6 (34:29):
Matte Yeah, going good, guys, thanks for having me.

Speaker 1 (34:31):
It's a story you picked up a bit of a
cough mate, bit of bloody monkey pock's going on.

Speaker 5 (34:35):
Around the Well, what am morning to have a bit
of a tickling your throat because you've been put through
what we call the end zed Me car wash, where
you just get kind of wheeled around at different stations
and interviewed. I guess yes, but you're here with some
news before we talk a bit of cricket. No, well,
not that you're pregnant.

Speaker 4 (34:56):
No twins.

Speaker 5 (34:59):
Tickets are on safe off for the summer. We've we've
had the schedule got announced a month or so ago,
but tickets are going to be on sale today and
exclusively too for people who sign up for the what
was it called Nation Cricket Nation Nation, So they're going
to be exclusive pre sale period and I'm picking that

(35:20):
they're going to be hot property, particularly that English series
gone up in November December. So yeah, thanks for coming in. Yeah,
she's having me, no, no worries. Now we found out
that you're a bit of a birdman.

Speaker 6 (35:33):
I am a birdman.

Speaker 5 (35:34):
You're a huge bird fan, A very big fan of birds.

Speaker 1 (35:36):
Yeah, why sorry to ask it that way, but what
is it about birds?

Speaker 7 (35:41):
I believe in evolution and I think they're just little
dinosaurs with wings.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Yeah right, they definitely are. We said David Nuker in
here last week and we were talking about what's the
biggest animal you could beat in a fight, and he
said that because he's living over in Australia. Now, he's like,
there's these things called cassi. Where's that live in the bush.
He's like, there's no way you could beat a castilary.
And I am firmly of the belief that there is
not a bird on this earth that could beat me

(36:06):
in a one on one fight.

Speaker 6 (36:07):
I'd love to see you go one on one with
an Ostrich.

Speaker 5 (36:09):
Bro he reckons he could take it.

Speaker 1 (36:12):
This is a castilary I could take yeah, Ostrich.

Speaker 4 (36:14):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, any bird, but Ostrich is the one that gives
me the sheds.

Speaker 5 (36:18):
It's a fight to the death too, you're in it.
It's a death cage fight situation.

Speaker 6 (36:22):
I'd be pretty scary that the beaks coming at your eyes.

Speaker 1 (36:24):
I know, yeah, the beaks are scary. And again, we've
talked about this at length, at this, atnauseum, at this
on this podcast. I know I'll get scratched up, but
I think I could just about get it.

Speaker 4 (36:34):
You know.

Speaker 1 (36:35):
All we gonna do is get hold of the head.

Speaker 6 (36:37):
Run circles around you though.

Speaker 7 (36:38):
I'm pretty sure the Ostrich is like the fastest two
legged animal in the world.

Speaker 5 (36:41):
Oh but it's in an octagon. So unless it just
runs around around the octagon and eventually you could just
grab it, take out its head, and then you've got
to take the legs, it's going to be a I mean,
it won't be pretty.

Speaker 1 (36:53):
In my defense, as you haven't seen me run and
I might be rapid myself.

Speaker 6 (36:58):
Take it's for that going on sale by.

Speaker 5 (37:02):
Joint acc Nation to get your expos pre sale of
those tickets.

Speaker 1 (37:06):
But how fat is your so your bird watcher? Is
that what you get to do or witcher?

Speaker 6 (37:11):
I was a bird watcher when I was twenty four.

Speaker 5 (37:13):
Brother.

Speaker 6 (37:13):
I used to go.

Speaker 7 (37:14):
I used to go to like the local gardens and
like take a little set of binoculars and I'd be
like twenty four and there'd be eighty year olds around me.

Speaker 6 (37:19):
I was like, brolight's too really for this thing.

Speaker 5 (37:21):
You've got time?

Speaker 6 (37:22):
Yeah, So I'll pull back and I'll revisit it, probably
a couple of weeks.

Speaker 1 (37:26):
And tackle we like book with you and mark down
what birds you see or how does it work?

Speaker 7 (37:32):
No, I'm still pretty novice, but I sort of been hunting,
like not hunting. I mean, I don't hunt kitdo, but
I hunt photos.

Speaker 1 (37:40):
Of kidd so really delicious.

Speaker 6 (37:43):
And well, no that's political.

Speaker 5 (37:46):
Have you have you? There's some there's some caddo out
on Ragatoto. If you go out there who are like
they're quite tame and they're on the on the track
and you just about knock your head on them and
they're just there and they're just set in the tree
and they don't even move when you go past. The
gluttons are one of the great birds. So do you
partake in Bird of the Year every year? Got a

(38:07):
bit of controversy last year with a bit of American involvement.

Speaker 6 (38:11):
Or was it the hoy haul last year?

Speaker 2 (38:12):
No?

Speaker 5 (38:12):
This year was the The yellowined penguin won twenty four,
but twenty three was picked up by John Oliver. Is
it the PARTICKI the crazy Australian one with the thing? Anyway,
it won by about four hundred thousand votes because all
these Americans started voting.

Speaker 6 (38:28):
I thought Particky was was flounder.

Speaker 5 (38:32):
That'd be unusual for the bird of the year. Look,
I've probably totally mispronouncedunts that name, but it was an
Australian one with a crazy head.

Speaker 4 (38:39):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (38:40):
I was upset enough when I heard that it was
an Australian bird. Now I'm hearing it's a flounder.

Speaker 5 (38:46):
The bood of the year has been through a bat
because remember that fucking bat one one year. Yes, it's
like a bird, it's a mammal, Like that's bullshit, it's
got wings and now Australian birds one and then there
was Russian involvement there were bots, it was all sorts
of ship and then and you saw Scotty Ja Stevenson
out out the end about the black the black built seagull.

Speaker 6 (39:07):
Yeah, the black built goal.

Speaker 7 (39:07):
It's an endangered bird and is actually a fresh water bird.

Speaker 5 (39:11):
Yeah, there is effect for you. Yeah, and who knew
that any seagull was endangered? Yes, right, because you just
see those ben chickens at the dark Beach and you
just presume they're just everywhere.

Speaker 1 (39:22):
But not so it's a freshwater bird. Is it wrong
to call it a seagull then, because it's actually it's not,
is it.

Speaker 6 (39:28):
Well it's not.

Speaker 7 (39:29):
It's called a black build goal, right, but well we
just assume they're seagulls when we see the mountain the belt.
So yeah, Scotty Scotty Stevenson actually corrected me once and
I was I was like, there's seagulls and he was like, no, bro, it.

Speaker 1 (39:40):
Doesn't go anywhere near the city.

Speaker 5 (39:42):
Credit to us sounds really rock and roll where you like,
you're Scotty just talking birds, just correcting each other.

Speaker 6 (39:48):
Dict it's good fun.

Speaker 1 (39:51):
Would you take the binoculars with you on tour back
in the day and have a look to see what
birds you can see overseas.

Speaker 4 (39:56):
Mate.

Speaker 7 (39:56):
I've got a bit of regret because, like we're in
Zimbabwe and a couple safaris once and there were some
wild parrots and stuff like that.

Speaker 6 (40:03):
I would have love to see them up close to.

Speaker 1 (40:04):
My binocular Yeah you didn't take them.

Speaker 7 (40:06):
No, Well I was only twenty two, like my bird
watching phases about twenty four.

Speaker 6 (40:09):
So oh, hopefully it's another tour there coming up. I
will be taking like a big sen of binoculars.

Speaker 2 (40:15):
Yeh.

Speaker 1 (40:15):
Yeah.

Speaker 5 (40:15):
Well, the team are in Sri Lanka at the moment,
and the national bird is a jungle chicken. Yeah, it's
a jungle fowl. It's called and it's a wild thing.

Speaker 4 (40:22):
You know.

Speaker 5 (40:23):
They're like, it's a wild chicken with like crazy feathers.
And I went to a national park there and the
guy was like, there's our national bird. It's a jungle fowl.
That's a jungle chicken, and that calls that it came
running out with all its feathers up in its head.

Speaker 1 (40:38):
To be fair, ours is pretty much a jungle chicken
as well.

Speaker 5 (40:40):
Yeah, a flightless, flightless bird that lays massive eggs.

Speaker 1 (40:45):
I don't think we should be taking.

Speaker 5 (40:46):
Big those eggs. Well, the Kiwi eggs. Yeah, it's like
one third of the size of the Kiwi yes per
like it's the biggest egg per size of bird on Earth.

Speaker 1 (40:55):
And that's the issue with farming them, because I've said
for the longest time that we should farm Kiwi so
that we so they don't go extinct, because you know,
chickens are never going to go extinct because we're farming them.
Same with sheep cows, that kind of thing. But it's
just a gestation period issue. You know, they're looking after
that egg for too long.

Speaker 5 (41:12):
Yeah, and it's only one egg.

Speaker 1 (41:13):
And it's one egg, that's right.

Speaker 6 (41:15):
Yeah, of course thee Yeah, you can't blast out too.

Speaker 1 (41:20):
No, I wouldn't have thought so. And that's why you
know chickens, they can blast one out almost every day,
you know, a well fed chicken.

Speaker 5 (41:26):
So like the village bike of birds, they aren't the
the chicken everyone's having to go. That's why they're blasting
out all the eggs.

Speaker 1 (41:31):
Well, no, that's not how the.

Speaker 5 (41:32):
Egg This is not how expected this podcast together.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
Eggs work at all. We're coming up to obviously, summer
is you know the season of cricket you'll be playing.
You do it for a job. But do you get
roped into backyard battles over Christmas? In New Years? You
must have a target on your back whenever you go
home for Christmas all.

Speaker 7 (41:52):
The time, all the time, like depends how many you know,
how many beers you've had at the time. But it
gets pretty competitive, especially with like people, people that are
your your mates come out.

Speaker 6 (42:01):
It's pretty competitive. So yeah, it's definitely head.

Speaker 1 (42:04):
And so do you. I mean, I think we all
do this in back cricket. You come out and just
toss up a couple of pies to sort of get
a read on the batsman, and.

Speaker 6 (42:11):
Then your auntie nails you for a boundary or something
was boss b she pus that one to you in trouble.

Speaker 5 (42:21):
I think you just retire back to the barbecue after that.

Speaker 6 (42:23):
Yeah, all my bird watching binoculars, Oh.

Speaker 1 (42:25):
Yeah, yeah, I suppose to go hand in hand on
the cricket and bird watching.

Speaker 5 (42:29):
Well, there's a lot of time. There's a lot of
dwell time. And I've always said this about cricket. I
played a lot of cricket. It's a very strange game
played by very strange people. It's a unique that's a
unique characters come out of cricket. And you know, the
great Bill Laurie was a great you know, pigeon fanc here,
you know, and spent a lot of time just watching pigeons.
And that's potentially something you could do on the balcony there,

(42:49):
because if you know you've got putting your time on
your hands, just get the binoculars out, saying that if
the coverage cut to each SODI on the balcony with
some bnoculars.

Speaker 6 (43:01):
Look pretty dodgy on. Yeah, a different type of bird watching.

Speaker 5 (43:06):
I feel like, yeah, like what's he up to? And
then your defense would me, I'm a I'm a Twitter,
I'm a bird watcher whatever, whatever.

Speaker 6 (43:13):
There was an albatross in the corner.

Speaker 4 (43:16):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (43:18):
The other thing that I know about most professional cricketers
is that they are actually probably it's probably better to
describe them as professional golfers who every now and then
play cricket. Are you're a big golfer?

Speaker 6 (43:28):
No, I'm not really. I've never been a big golf race.

Speaker 7 (43:30):
So I think looking back, I probably should have played
a bit more golf because like everyone plays golf. Yeah,
Like and you always ask like, oh, wa'ts your hobbies?
Like everyone will say golf, but I'm kind of like watching.

Speaker 6 (43:40):
Yeah, it's abstract.

Speaker 5 (43:41):
So when all the team we're out playing golf, because
it must be a big chunk of the team who
just play golf, you go just watch a few birds.

Speaker 7 (43:47):
Now, no like, but there's always like a contingent of
people that will stay back at the hotel and stuff
and things to do, play a lot of table tennis
on to it.

Speaker 5 (43:55):
Oh yeah, who's I heard? Mitchell Satin is pretty handy, mate.

Speaker 6 (43:59):
Any game game that you put in front of them,
Mitchell sent it's going to be number one.

Speaker 5 (44:03):
He's that kind of guy.

Speaker 7 (44:04):
He's that kind of guy. Just frustrated mate, you know,
you know he's a gun data and I really want
to die him. Like he's awesome and you do anything
make put his mind to it, and he's pretty frustrating
to watch.

Speaker 5 (44:15):
Sometimes run it straight.

Speaker 7 (44:19):
Surprisingly strong, really, it's so like long and like, you
know he's got he's got that sinewy strength.

Speaker 5 (44:25):
Has he got sen you strength like you see a
real skinny dude, and really to tackle as well because it's.

Speaker 6 (44:31):
Left TV weights.

Speaker 1 (44:32):
You know, he stuff is really wouldn't have picked it
outside of those What do you get up to when
you're away on tour. Are you a gamer? Do you
take a console with you? Or side of the bird
watching and training? What do you gett's got a.

Speaker 7 (44:44):
Bit of an old solo, like I actually didn't win
to a gaming convention the other day and like trying
to play.

Speaker 6 (44:48):
Fortnite beautiful Yeah, yeah, no idea?

Speaker 4 (44:51):
What was going on?

Speaker 7 (44:52):
Like definitely like not really up to speed with that
sort of thing. So used to play Nintendo ye his
hog yeah yeah, street Fighter at the Fish and Chip shop, yes, yeah,
by a toy yeah.

Speaker 4 (45:05):
Oh nice.

Speaker 5 (45:06):
I play a little bit of a Fortnite, But I
just got lit up by seven year olds and you
know they can they can talk to you and stuff. Well,
it was the most humiliating most made the seven year
old air was my son and all his mates and
just lighting you up every five singles.

Speaker 6 (45:19):
It just sucks.

Speaker 1 (45:20):
Yeah, can't get out.

I'm out of you.

Speaker 1 (45:22):
Building a castle around and there humping you did carcass.

Speaker 5 (45:27):
Dancing.

Speaker 1 (45:28):
Yeah, it's humiliating. That's an absolutely killer anyway. I feel
like you're going to lose your voice. But before you do,
we need to get through lanes Infamous twenty two and two.

Speaker 5 (45:37):

Two. Yeah, if you had a reoccurring nightmare that a
snowman killed himself with a hair dryer, would you be concerned?

I would be severely concerned.

Speaker 5 (47:46):
If you're off at a knighthood, would you accept it?

Speaker 6 (47:49):
I would have done something pretty special.

Speaker 5 (47:50):

a fall instead of falling down sixty three. Have you
ever screamed at someone? Google me, motherfucker.
