Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live from the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra the b for here. It is
the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the twenty seventh of August.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by an Export Vulture.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Morning Lane, you just mentioned a good point. We haven't
addressed the weightlifting challenge from the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yeah, I'm headed to La. Well.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
No, you did successfully manage to clean and jerk the
lightest successful lift at the twenty twenty four Olympics. Yes,
which was a snatch by a forty nine forty nine
kilo woman.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Under forty nine under forty eight. I think, well, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That they'll suck down like fighters and then balloon back
up to about fifty kylers.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Congratulations, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I mean, you know what, there was a lot of
doubters out there. I hear people in the office saying,
don't do it, You're gonna hurt yourself.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I had people in the office coming up to me
be and like, don't let them do this. Yeah. I
was like, what do I care? Yeah, I'd love to
watch him blaze back.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Anyway, When was the last day I've never seen people
care so much. But I was gonna like I was
going to snap my neck. But you know what, I
crushed it. Suck on that.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, congratulations, real, real drive by on the athlete out
of Guam.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I don't know if she she.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Had deserved that straight but she didn't deserve that. But
all the hat is the city couldn't do it. He did,
and I felt like you had a bit left.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
In the tank.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I had a little bit, a little bit, to be
honest with you, I did have a bit of it
twingy back because I guaring my technique was shocking. It
was all back, no arms.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Just muscled it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
So I reckon I could have got to I you
could have chucked another ten of fifteen on there.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I think that's how much she did lift for the
cleaning jerk was about seventy seven killers.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, I reckon I could have done it again.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I feel like a few people have misconstrued what we
were trying to test here because people have been saying
to me, that doesn't mean he would have won a
medal at that.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
That's not what we're trying to put It was.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Pretty can I could you beat? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Could you beat any Olympian anything.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, and yeah, I guess that, or like if you
fired off a lucky shot with the pistol.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Back he shot. Just everyone else has got a pistol.
You've got a shotgun.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
See one of your ballets has to hit it. Yeah,
but anyway, Yeah, you did it. Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
You can see that on on the Instagram. Is it
still there? Has it been taken down? No, it's still okay,
go and watch the first And.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Speaking of social media, the podcast are now on YouTube,
so you can watch our beautiful, beautiful faces. While we're
doing this. You can join the hundred of people around
the country.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's exploding though it started with seven.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, and including my mum and my dad two of those,
so Lauren and Lisa shout out to you.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Was Lisa, and I think I've figured out.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You know, I'm always looking to make this podcast a
little bit better, the a SEC a little bit better,
and I've been looking for tips as to how to
grow a YouTube audience. There is a new fastest growing
YouTube channel on God's Green Earth right now, and it
is from Cristiano Ronaldo. He has recorded the most successful
YouTube channel launch ever after giving viewers the impression that
(03:00):
he and Georgina Rodriguez had secretly been married.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I don't think that's.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Why people we were watching it like, I feel like
this reporter was really looking through their own lens. But
Cristiano Ronaldo started his own channel was it's called you
are and the U looks like a stylized C for
Cristiano Ronaldo. But for some reason it's to you. I
don't know if it's a you know, Portuguese thing. You know,
fastest reach one hundred thousand subscribers it only took fifty
(03:26):
five minutes, and then the fastest to surpassed one million,
which took ninety minutes. It is currently sitting at forty
seven million subscribers.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I would say that it's about past week from Ronaldo.
Do you know why he's the most famous person on
the planet just about I you know, in terms of sports.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, he would be. I mean he is the most
followed account on Instagram, I believe exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So it's a transfer, you just need to transfer across.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Do better better than forty seven million?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Do Betty pussy Well?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I think a massive cap on that is that he
does the whole thing in Portuguese, him and his wife,
and then it's overdubbed, so they've got voice actors who
were overdubbing over the top of it.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
The first video that I watched, it had fifty.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Something million views, was them doing a like how well
do you know each other? Where they write down questions
and then they hold it up. They do not know
each other very well. Christiano and his business. Does that
shock you?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
No, it doesn't shock me at all, because I don't
understand why he's doing it. Was he I mean, is
he bored? He's playing in Saudi Arabia and any billions
of billions and billions of dollars? M what's he doing?
Is he bored? Is he's sitting in his compound and
Saudi like going, ah, fuck on board, I'm going to
start a YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I suspect that his wife being in every one of
these videos had a little bit to do with it.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
See, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
He was like, look, my plate's full, I got you know,
I got training. I'm still playing. Yeah, you know, I don't.
Even though he's playing in a bit of a half
ass league, you know, he's still a professional earth he
still has to train. And I reckon. She would have
been like, can we fire up a YouTube channel here.
That's probably why it's not just called the Christiano Ronaldo
YouTube channel. So anyway, how do we translate that to
(05:11):
our own YouTube channel?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Do we get Christiano Ronaldo's wife on?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Well Christiano himself.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, I think that's probably the key is to maybe
get Linel Missi to just join and jump on our side.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
He smashed Leno Missi's YouTube channel numbers.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So Lenar Missi will be like, oh, dudey, we're gonna
see him back, which you Geese guy's got me again?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
How do I get back at him? Yeah, join forces
with the acc.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
We'll never see it coming. Ronaldo will never see it coming.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, I'm sure they've had meetings where our names have
come up and said, look, I don't think they're a
massive competitor to us. You wait, unless they managed to
sign the greatest football player of all time then maybe.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So yeah, watch out for Christiana Ronaldo in the next
couple of weeks. I've reached out to him. Have you
send him a couple of dms in there? Yeah, but again,
you know it'll take him ages to get through his
d In his most followed account on Instagram. But I
think eventually we'll get there. The greatest New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I've got an.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Apology issue used today we went wanked on. I was
gonna say wex lyrical, and then I stopped at wanked on.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
About Lisa and pedal.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Lisa and Pedals. That wasn't the matchup yesterday. I had
bad information. There's some bad actors that work here. It
was Bruce McLaren was.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
The four Square guy.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh, I've been a drubbing in favor of Bruce McLaren.
Surely smashes Charlie.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It was, But I would say it's very aspirational Bruce McLaren.
I've never bought a McLaren, but I've bought a lot
of stuff from four Square.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
What does that make Charlie a bit of in New Zealander?
Is it just because you've got like he got more
for me? Charlie's gouging you as well, By the way,
for Squas are always more expensive than any other supermarket
there is.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
McLaren's selling his cars for a million dollars. He's gouging
you too.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Ah, he's a pioneer.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, but who's done more for me? Personally? I think
four Square I'd argue, who's done more for the common man?
I'd argue the four square.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Guy, the common man.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I've never seen a McLaren in Twysel.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I'm pretty sure there is. I'm pretty sure one would
have driven through. Have you seen it doing the bird
to the four square? To the four square? Also in Techpo,
which has the most prime real estate four square beautiful?
Who did the town planning there?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Where can you put something that's not overlooking the lake?
You know, let's.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Put it right in front of the lake, huge car park, Yeah, supermarket,
perfect done.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, it is a great four square though.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh one of the old timers. I am back in
a former life when I was a plaster around the
South Canterbury region. We went out to a bloke who
just it was an Auklander and he built a new
little house there in Tikopos as all the houses are.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Looking over the lake.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Got us into a plastering job and he was telling us.
We're like, oh, so you live in Auckland often you
come down here. He goes, well, this is the thing.
I didn't understand how airbnb worked. So I put it
up for two years and it booked out every day,
but every weekend between now and the end of that
two years.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
So I've just built it memo. I can't come down.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's not a bad problem to have.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I know, I booked it and I'm subletting it, and
I made a lot of money of that, which is
great because I wasn't making a lot as a plaster anyway.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Today it is Lisa v. Pedals.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
If you want to know what we think about that,
you can go back and listen to yesterday's podcast Controversial.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yesterday it was controversial. Where did you land on that?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Pedals? More More, I do think audience is probably more
badly than Lisa.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
You think we've got quite a pedly audience.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, yeah, you know, cricket's our it's you know, origins,
and I think the audience will we'll look at that
and go, you know pedals. You know, servant of cricket
for over twenty's still serving New Zealand cricket o this
day and Lisa sure not taking away from Lisa Carrington,
Lady of the Lake, Dame Lisa go in the boat.
(08:50):
But I just think that I think the audience, But
like you said, it might be divided on the Facebook
Instagram demographic divide Kirby.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
There's also recently by us. Anyway, we're dipping our toes
back into that yesterday's lake. But you can go and
have your say genuinely today it is Lisa as Padus.
So go and have your going have you say on
your facebooks and your Instagrams. I should pull people behind
the curtain this morning. We are up against the pump.
We'll get a couple of a couple of video shoots
to get away this morning, so you'll forgive us if
(09:17):
it's a truncated episode of the Gender Podcast. But with
that in mind, let's take a quick break, come back
talk some extual school.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Line.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
There's a bit of news on the Rugby league front. Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's news that I think is going to pass a
lot of our audience off, and that is that the
NRL Graham Man is the hit of the for shiators.
The NRAL has come out and said that the officials
got the RTS call wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I do you know what I feel like the NRL
officials are like Catholics because you can do whatever the
fuck you want and you just turn up to church
and go to confessional and repent and it's all sweet. Yeah,
And there's no blowback. No, so they're just trying to
go we sucked it up, sorr about that, Yeah, and
it's just tumbleweed until the next week and it happens
(10:04):
again tumble and it's like, what are the what are
the consequences?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
What are the ramifications here? Because if you get it wrong,
I mean, how often has this happened this year? I
was I fluctuate between being like, oh, well, why even
bother telling us that you got it wrong? Then if
there's no change coming, you know, like, what's the what's
the repercussions for us?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
It just makes us angrier.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It does particularly us because we feel like as a
fan base that these calls are going against us, and
now we've got stats to back it up. They came
out and said that of the five sinbinnable offenses for
high contact over the weekend, four of them were caught,
and they were like, we're pretty happy with that ratio.
The only one that wasn't was the Roger to eve
us a shick one, and I would actually say that
(10:46):
the Mitch Barnett one, I don't think they've got bin
for that either, and he got hit so hard as
eyebrows split, it's like how what other fucking wrecking it
could have been, but it was quite clearly the second
man into the tackle pointed the shoulder right to his eyebrow,
and it's like, like we were saying after the game,
he's like, you know, we wax lyrical about us at
(11:08):
that time instead of working on about protecting the players.
And then as soon as someone gets hit, it's the
most egregious, like he has to come off because he's
been hit in the head. Now, the rulers, you're not
allowed to hit dudes in the head, and if you do,
you get bin.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
How was that not enforced? I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I know that our season was over anyway, but that's
Roger's season done. And you know that's another head knock
in the career of Roger to with us as schick
there was no punishment for it. Then they come out
and sort of dance on our graves afterwards, and like, yeah,
I probably should have called that way.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I saw a great mock letter on the ACC Instagram story,
which is I'll read to you. It says here, give me,
give me one moment, call it says here. Monday twenty
six of August, Dean New Zealand. I hope this email
(12:01):
finds you well. Once again, I wish to apologize for
the incompetent decision making of one of our officials in
your most recent fixture. The offending official has been reprimanded
and stood down. Although this appears to be the same
email as the one I sent you last time, it
is in fact new, as you can see by my
changing of the date above. Wishing also your injured player
(12:24):
luck with his recovery. Kind regards, Graham Ansley. Analsley, head
of the NRAL Elite Football Operations. As an official letter.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's like every other week. I would actually I've settled on.
I would rather not know now. I don't want to
know that you guys missed it, like we already know,
so you come out and say, oh sorry, and then
nothing happens.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The other thing is like will I'm bitching about the NRL.
They talk about like there's a salary cap in the league.
I don't know what it is. I don't know how
much the players get paid. But in the last ten
years only three teams have won the minor premiership Panthers,
Rooster's Storm, So how has the salary kept working. You
probably couldn't say it is. The Panthers have won three.
(13:08):
I mean they are losing players as their run continues.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
But I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
There needs to be some sort of buddy, there needs
to be an investigation.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Boody investigation.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Well, all the other clubs need to get smarter or richer.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, because we you know the Roosters, they are proud
of the fact that they've got like a millionaire, billionaire
dude who's bankrolling everything. Everyone knows who he is, isn't
the politis.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
We need some of that dirty washing money.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Who are there? Saudi's?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh yeah, although Saudi Warriors the why do you worry? Yeah,
I don't know the one using on Saudi Warriors. It's
got a ring to it.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Saudi well fund Warriors.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, gotta stick one things get in there that because
I've been there forever.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Would it achieve any of their goals reaching an audience
of five million?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Ah? No, not at all. But I mean just a
bit of washing on the side. You know a few
our sports washing. This is just a little left hand corner.
But if they coul build off Waterfront Stadium maybe be
good as well.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Speaking of rugby league and salary cap routes, Tom Traboivich
has offered to pay back seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars of his salary over the next few years because yeah, exactly,
this is what I thought. So he was saying, I
haven't played many games in the last year, last two years,
well last three years. I think he's been injured, been
out with injuries. So he's gone to the club and said,
(14:32):
I'd like to volunteer to pay seven hundred and fifty
k back met smells.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Does smell fishy, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The NRL has then vetoed that and said you're not
allowed to You can't do it because there's a thing
in the NRAL where you have to pay a player
there like fear market value. It's to stop things like
when Roger two of us as she came back to us.
It's to stop us from paying him like sixteen thousand
dollars a year. Yeah, you know what I mean, just
to get him back in the team. There has to
be like a fear value there. So that's why they
(15:00):
would have vetoed it. But why if you're Tom trable
ivitge would you do that. Do you believe that he
just felt bad to the tune of seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
No, No, it's something, it's something. There's something not quite
right there.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think if I was to be to give him
benefit of the doubt, because this would have had to
go through his agent. It's not like he could just
call the NRL and be like his seven hundred and
fifty k. I think the agent would have looked at
it is like, we could give this money, get it
off off the salary cap. Yeah, potentially bring in more
players under that, you know, give that money to other players,
(15:36):
and then we can make it back up off the side.
Because this is a massive PR stunt, So we can
then get all these endorsement deals off the back of
that best case scenario, worst case scenario. NRL vetos it,
we still look like good guys, and we get to
keep the seven fifty k guilt free.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Well, I mean, who's going to endorse some a tax
refund company.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Like Well, if you look at their sponsors, it's all
like tax lawyers.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Right, Okay, that's it's a bit of a PR stunt,
but it's a strange one. I've never heard of a
professional athlete wanting to give money back. Now they've done
and if they've overcharged, or they haven't paid tecks, or
there's something they're trying to slap a big dead fesshion
on the table.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
No, I do have a couple of stats here.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
It's because he has only played thirty games since the
start of twenty twenty two on a one point one
million dollar salary.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It still does sound like a that But why give them
money back? Fuck them?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
They paid you. You know they you're a piece of meat.
They'll trade you in a half.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
One hundred percent, Like, so, why, what's where's the why
the loyalty?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
No, yeah, that's what I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Also, a lot of a big salary is a reward
for prior performance. So when he was balling out in
twenty twenty one, that's what most of their contract is for.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
It's a backpay.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Like when Kobe Bryant I paid forty million dollars a
year with the broken achilles. It was them saying, look,
thanks for the last few years, showing other players that
they're going to reward good performance. So I just don't think.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I always smell it and this could just because I've
been broke my entire life.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
But I'm not who gives money back on purpose, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
This was my whole thing where I didn't think Sean
Johnson was going to retire, so I was like, I
know he's gotten contract offers, so the hell's going to
turn that money down. This one's even more bizarre because
it's like you've got it, no one's asked, and then
you're like, oh, can I give it back? I don't
buy that he's just a good guy, you know, go
and give that to a charity. Then, you know, if
you don't think you deserve that money, give that.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
That's why I don't think this is there's more to
this than meets the eye. And everyone today has been like, oh,
what a great guy, hasn't he? That just shows you know,
he's a loyal club man and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I don't know about that. You know, give it back
to your local club. Then if you don't want that
seven hundred and fifty k. Have we decided, I mean
we talked about it yesterday. We're going to put an
embargo on the America's Cup.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I like, I don't mind talking about it, Okay, even
now and then if there's something juicy, if like you know,
if someone's found cheating, or if someone's been caught doing something.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
We've been accused of chatting, we have Jimmy's Yeah, here
we go, Jimmy spit Hill.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Of course that's Jimmy Spittal, the fiery Ginger Australian come American.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, and Grant Dalton are getting into it. Jimmy Spittle
has said that there have been a lot of bugs
with what the Kiwis have supplied everyone, and it's the
first time it's all being used. So he's basically complaining
whoever holds the America's Cup guests to decide whateveryone races
in yep, and they're saying that all of the equipment
that they've been given is faulty or it's about deck
here it doesn't work that well. And Grant Dalton said, well,
(18:31):
beat us and then you can do it yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's so true because these a holes are the ones
that remember they designed that one in Bermuda where they
then we did they want if they won the preliminary
they went into the final two races a head like
if they wont it. They got a head start and
then we ended up beating them. They it's it's that's
America's Cup. America's Cap is all about if you've got it,
(18:54):
you can do whatever you want. Make it impossible for Pete.
That's why it's so hard to win. Yeah, it's the
older rich guy sport.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's like, if we're in charge, we get to stack
the dick entirely in our favor. And it's like, well,
you guys are all playing, but this is the action
on the water is far less exciting than all of
the like litigation that goes on outside of the.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah and the slagging off. But that's good from Dalton.
Didn't expect that from him. Yeah, bets, bro, you can
you can do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It's like in the NBA, there's a like an unwritten
rule where if you're down by like or you're up
by like twenty and there's only ten seconds left in
the game, you don't run off and just dunk it.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I've seen clips on YouTube of there and then the
fight starts yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
And then a fight starts up, and I'm like, fuck it.
If you don't want that to happen, don't get blown
out by Twitter. You know, you should be allowed to
do whatever you want. I'd be going off the backboard,
dunking it backwards, nuts in their face the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
How good would it be? The Blues can decide the
rules for the Super ragby next year.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, so they've got a.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Mean forward pack, so they just stack the dicks and
just in terms of forward play, you're only allowed three backs. Yeah,
change the rules around line outs, around mauling around the
human centerpede, stack everything in their favor and think they
come and beat us.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, and then all the other teams woner bits. I
don't like that I only allowed three backs.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Three backs just changed the game completely.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I don't like that they attached the basketball hoop to
the crossbar instead of conversions, and now you get a run
up and try and dunk it while some other guy
tries and blocks you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, that's the extent of America's Cup, because you look,
you look at America's Cup, so Peter Blake era where
they're all just sitting on the side of the boat
and he's urinating off the back and it's basically just
a big old yacht with a big old sale going
about ten knots and to a foiling spaceship. Yeah, going
one hundred kilometers an hour. It's fucking pretty next level.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, tomorrow, I've got a half back sports idea that
revolves around the America's Cup and how we can leverage
the advantage of us deciding what the rules are.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Are we allowed to decide the format and stuff as well?
Or is that?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I think that's it right, Ah, we just decide what
the boats look like.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
No, in the format, because like I said before, when
America had it, when now Larry Ellison on that had it,
and they gave themselves a two two race advantage. They
designed the preliminary races so if they won the prelim
that they went into the final two races, so it
was already two nil by the time they had the final.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
So let's just rig it as much as we can.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, so they know they decide everything, they decide when
it's done. I think the Louis v. The time the
Challenger Series is kind of set in stone, but they
can decide they can do whatever. You can do whatever
you want.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I know, it's like we're gonna set the rules. So
the only week and it's like going around to your
rich friends places. As a kid, I just want to
you know, like they want to play backyard croger, but
they change all the rules so it's six it out
when you're in or when they are it's like, now
just go find the fucking ball and we'll keep playing.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Just get another ball.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, So that's why I think a lot of people
don't want to go around to these rich kids' house.
All right, if the Hellbergs were tomorrow, this one's been
in the paper today, who would be your sports person
of the year.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
We are in an Olympic year.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
But I would also say that Lydia Coe, having just
won the open over there at the Home of Golf,
should probably be a pretty strong contender. I think it
would come down to her or Lisa Carrington, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, I would say so. But for her to back us.
That's really hard for Lisa Carrington, isn't it? Because she
it's like once every four years she gets to prove
her worth on the world stage. They have World Championships
and stuff. But when was the last time you watched
the kayak in World champs So, but Lydia kay obviously
every couple of months she's got a golf tournament, and
(22:24):
she's got four majors a year, so she's on the
headlines a little bit more, but still gold and back
that up with an open.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
She can only win what she's in.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, I know, it's say Lydia Coe. I'm going to
say Lydia Coke right now, right now.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, Well, but I've mean, what's going to change between
now and the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
She can win a couple more opens, a couple more majors,
but Lisa Carrington's not gonna that's true. But yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
She wants another gold medal.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
But the Halbergs tend to reward Olympians that tends to
be and Halberg's so dry and boring anyway. Yeah, we
need to do our own one.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
We should start our own awards and make it funny again.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, and I you know what with the awards and
they got I got on z B with Jason Pine
to talk about this was this was before the Halberg's
and I just laid into the Helbergs because I say,
now they've lost touch.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Of course they have.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
The Halbergs have lost, but in terms of it's just
it's been the same format and their idea of making
it interesting and God bless James mcconey go doing some
bits and pieces around, but that's not going to get
a whole new audiences. Mccony doing some bits with Michael
Jones and stuff like that. It's actually categories. They need
to involve the media more. They need to media bloopers,
They need the sports bloopers. Make it into a bit
(23:31):
of entertainment.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
That's all we do.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Maybe we'll do our own sports awards. Yeah, yeah, so
we do that same night, no night before.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Because that's basically I mean, I know the Helberg is
like a fundraising thing as well, but that's basically all
they did. They were just like, I we'll just have
a sports awards. It's not like the New Zealand Sports Awards.
It's the Halberg Foundation.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Right yeah, but by defaulted as New Zealand Sports Awards.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Well until now.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, I will have a chat with some sponsors, maybe
Snacker Changy or Ultra Snacker, ching Sports Awards, Nike, Nike, Google,
Our alan Stein's.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Amazon, Apple. I don't know you well, but a few
feelings out there. Yeah, I think it's lessa character. I
think you Yeah, in the boat's got in the boat.
But anyway, that's a that's a completely We've already got
the greatest h Zealander of debate going on.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I start another one.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Don't weigh in on this one. All right, let's take
quick break. We'll come back with your splits.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yours please, brought you by Leader Home of the.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Just the two to get through this morning. First call
of yours please, Roco and bag to lane.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Good to have your beat mate.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Haven't been banana boat at this time, which is good
to hear. It is good to have you back to to.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
This is a sports adjacent podcast, and last week I
felt that Matthew heath derailed a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Anyway, Frank heath.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Well were talking too much sport last week or something
was that not only did he go to a j
are we barely talk sport at all?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Last week?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Okay, honest, there was a lot of like communist China.
There was a lot of like weirded time zones come from.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Okay, there was a.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Lot of famine related stuff, right yeah, just way off
into the weeds, which I enjoyed.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Okay, at least's one there's one listening that's that's good.
Copying the couple of strays yesterday. No, they call it
here yours please?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Good eight.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
The rugby league could take a card out of the
union book. Anything that's obviously hi A should be potential
yellow or you know card. Send off for the ability
to be upgraded. Send them off for five minutes, wait
for the social media to fire up. See what the
messes say. Send them offers could have really done with
(25:52):
those two players? Send off?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Bullshit?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
He getting his turning left?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
All right? Oh left? I think it was Paul Over.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, okay, I don't think he's sitting in an I
hope he's not sitting in an inter season recording that.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I like that public take to the public vote like
he's got five minutes, goes to Instagram or a Facebook
pole and the worm comes up on the screen, upgraded
to read.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah where's the worm?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Goun That's not a bad idea just in general for
rugby and rugby leagueas go to the go to the public.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
But the problem is that guy didn't get bent, so yeah,
it would never have gotten upgraded. You know, like they're
not They're still just not going to send anyone to
the bent. So it's open season on Warrior's heads. I
dare say the Sharks sort of watched that last week
and be like, oh, let's kill these guys.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
They're not going to penalize us at all.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Now, what they'll do the last game of the season
that will swing the other way everything in our favor,
and we'll go, oh, yeah, see it's changed. Yeah, I
think us hoping next year.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Yeah, just keep us on the hook. All right. That'll
do us for today. As I said before, we get
a month and of work to get through today.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
So we will come back tomorrow with a Wednesday edition
of the Agenda podcast and we'll see you then.
Speaker 2 (26:57):
You've been listening to the HCCS Gender Podcast, brought to
you by Export Ultra. For more episodes, like and follow
on iHeartRadio off you get your podcasts
Live from the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra the b for here. It is
the Agenda Podcast for Tuesday, the twenty seventh of August.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by an Export Vulture.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
Morning Lane, you just mentioned a good point. We haven't
addressed the weightlifting challenge from the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Yeah, I'm headed to La. Well.
Speaker 1 (00:23):
No, you did successfully manage to clean and jerk the
lightest successful lift at the twenty twenty four Olympics. Yes,
which was a snatch by a forty nine forty nine
kilo woman.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
Under forty nine under forty eight. I think, well, yeah, but.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
That they'll suck down like fighters and then balloon back
up to about fifty kylers.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
Congratulations, thank you. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
I mean, you know what, there was a lot of
doubters out there. I hear people in the office saying,
don't do it, You're gonna hurt yourself.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
I had people in the office coming up to me
be and like, don't let them do this. Yeah. I
was like, what do I care? Yeah, I'd love to
watch him blaze back.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
Anyway, When was the last day I've never seen people
care so much. But I was gonna like I was
going to snap my neck. But you know what, I
crushed it. Suck on that.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Yeah, congratulations, real, real drive by on the athlete out
of Guam.
Speaker 4 (01:11):
I don't know if she she.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Had deserved that straight but she didn't deserve that. But
all the hat is the city couldn't do it. He did,
and I felt like you had a bit left.
Speaker 4 (01:18):
In the tank.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
I had a little bit, a little bit, to be
honest with you, I did have a bit of it
twingy back because I guaring my technique was shocking. It
was all back, no arms.
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Just muscled it.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:30):
So I reckon I could have got to I you
could have chucked another ten of fifteen on there.
Speaker 4 (01:34):
Well.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
I think that's how much she did lift for the
cleaning jerk was about seventy seven killers.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
Yeah, I reckon I could have done it again.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
I feel like a few people have misconstrued what we
were trying to test here because people have been saying
to me, that doesn't mean he would have won a
medal at that.
Speaker 4 (01:48):
That's not what we're trying to put It was.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Pretty can I could you beat? Yeah?
Speaker 4 (01:51):
Could you beat any Olympian anything.
Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, and yeah, I guess that, or like if you
fired off a lucky shot with the pistol.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
Back he shot. Just everyone else has got a pistol.
You've got a shotgun.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
See one of your ballets has to hit it. Yeah,
but anyway, Yeah, you did it. Congratulations, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (02:10):
You can see that on on the Instagram. Is it
still there? Has it been taken down? No, it's still okay,
go and watch the first And.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Speaking of social media, the podcast are now on YouTube,
so you can watch our beautiful, beautiful faces. While we're
doing this. You can join the hundred of people around
the country.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
It's exploding though it started with seven.
Speaker 1 (02:31):
Yeah, and including my mum and my dad two of those,
so Lauren and Lisa shout out to you.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Was Lisa, and I think I've figured out.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
You know, I'm always looking to make this podcast a
little bit better, the a SEC a little bit better,
and I've been looking for tips as to how to
grow a YouTube audience. There is a new fastest growing
YouTube channel on God's Green Earth right now, and it
is from Cristiano Ronaldo. He has recorded the most successful
YouTube channel launch ever after giving viewers the impression that
(03:00):
he and Georgina Rodriguez had secretly been married.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
I don't think that's.
Speaker 1 (03:03):
Why people we were watching it like, I feel like
this reporter was really looking through their own lens. But
Cristiano Ronaldo started his own channel was it's called you
are and the U looks like a stylized C for
Cristiano Ronaldo. But for some reason it's to you. I
don't know if it's a you know, Portuguese thing. You know,
fastest reach one hundred thousand subscribers it only took fifty
(03:26):
five minutes, and then the fastest to surpassed one million,
which took ninety minutes. It is currently sitting at forty
seven million subscribers.
Speaker 3 (03:36):
I would say that it's about past week from Ronaldo.
Do you know why he's the most famous person on
the planet just about I you know, in terms of sports.
Speaker 1 (03:45):
Yeah, he would be. I mean he is the most
followed account on Instagram, I believe exactly.
Speaker 3 (03:49):
So it's a transfer, you just need to transfer across.
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Do better better than forty seven million?
Speaker 3 (03:53):
Do Betty pussy Well?
Speaker 1 (03:55):
I think a massive cap on that is that he
does the whole thing in Portuguese, him and his wife,
and then it's overdubbed, so they've got voice actors who
were overdubbing over the top of it.
Speaker 4 (04:07):
The first video that I watched, it had fifty.
Speaker 1 (04:11):
Something million views, was them doing a like how well
do you know each other? Where they write down questions
and then they hold it up. They do not know
each other very well. Christiano and his business. Does that
shock you?
Speaker 3 (04:23):
No, it doesn't shock me at all, because I don't
understand why he's doing it. Was he I mean, is
he bored? He's playing in Saudi Arabia and any billions
of billions and billions of dollars? M what's he doing?
Is he bored? Is he's sitting in his compound and
Saudi like going, ah, fuck on board, I'm going to
start a YouTube channel.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I suspect that his wife being in every one of
these videos had a little bit to do with it.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
See, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
He was like, look, my plate's full, I got you know,
I got training. I'm still playing. Yeah, you know, I don't.
Even though he's playing in a bit of a half
ass league, you know, he's still a professional earth he
still has to train. And I reckon. She would have
been like, can we fire up a YouTube channel here.
That's probably why it's not just called the Christiano Ronaldo
YouTube channel. So anyway, how do we translate that to
(05:11):
our own YouTube channel?
Speaker 3 (05:13):
Ah?
Speaker 4 (05:14):
Do we get Christiano Ronaldo's wife on?
Speaker 5 (05:16):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (05:16):
I think so.
Speaker 4 (05:17):
Well Christiano himself.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yeah, I think that's probably the key is to maybe
get Linel Missi to just join and jump on our side.
Speaker 1 (05:22):
He smashed Leno Missi's YouTube channel numbers.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So Lenar Missi will be like, oh, dudey, we're gonna
see him back, which you Geese guy's got me again?
Speaker 4 (05:31):
How do I get back at him? Yeah, join forces
with the acc.
Speaker 3 (05:36):
We'll never see it coming. Ronaldo will never see it coming.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
No, I'm sure they've had meetings where our names have
come up and said, look, I don't think they're a
massive competitor to us. You wait, unless they managed to
sign the greatest football player of all time then maybe.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:51):
So yeah, watch out for Christiana Ronaldo in the next
couple of weeks. I've reached out to him. Have you
send him a couple of dms in there? Yeah, but again,
you know it'll take him ages to get through his
d In his most followed account on Instagram. But I
think eventually we'll get there. The greatest New Zealand.
Speaker 4 (06:05):
I've got an.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
Apology issue used today we went wanked on. I was
gonna say wex lyrical, and then I stopped at wanked on.
Speaker 4 (06:11):
About Lisa and pedal.
Speaker 1 (06:12):
Lisa and Pedals. That wasn't the matchup yesterday. I had
bad information. There's some bad actors that work here. It
was Bruce McLaren was.
Speaker 4 (06:21):
The four Square guy.
Speaker 3 (06:22):
Oh, I've been a drubbing in favor of Bruce McLaren.
Surely smashes Charlie.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
It was, But I would say it's very aspirational Bruce McLaren.
I've never bought a McLaren, but I've bought a lot
of stuff from four Square.
Speaker 3 (06:37):
What does that make Charlie a bit of in New Zealander?
Is it just because you've got like he got more
for me? Charlie's gouging you as well, By the way,
for Squas are always more expensive than any other supermarket
there is.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
McLaren's selling his cars for a million dollars. He's gouging
you too.
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Ah, he's a pioneer.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, but who's done more for me? Personally? I think
four Square I'd argue, who's done more for the common man?
I'd argue the four square.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Guy, the common man.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
I've never seen a McLaren in Twysel.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
I'm pretty sure there is. I'm pretty sure one would
have driven through. Have you seen it doing the bird
to the four square? To the four square? Also in Techpo,
which has the most prime real estate four square beautiful?
Who did the town planning there?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Where can you put something that's not overlooking the lake?
You know, let's.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Put it right in front of the lake, huge car park, Yeah, supermarket,
perfect done.
Speaker 4 (07:29):
Yeah, it is a great four square though.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
Oh one of the old timers. I am back in
a former life when I was a plaster around the
South Canterbury region. We went out to a bloke who
just it was an Auklander and he built a new
little house there in Tikopos as all the houses are.
Speaker 4 (07:43):
Looking over the lake.
Speaker 1 (07:44):
Got us into a plastering job and he was telling us.
We're like, oh, so you live in Auckland often you
come down here. He goes, well, this is the thing.
I didn't understand how airbnb worked. So I put it
up for two years and it booked out every day,
but every weekend between now and the end of that
two years.
Speaker 4 (07:58):
So I've just built it memo. I can't come down.
Speaker 3 (08:02):
It's not a bad problem to have.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
I know, I booked it and I'm subletting it, and
I made a lot of money of that, which is
great because I wasn't making a lot as a plaster anyway.
Speaker 4 (08:10):
Today it is Lisa v. Pedals.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
If you want to know what we think about that,
you can go back and listen to yesterday's podcast Controversial.
Speaker 4 (08:18):
Yesterday it was controversial. Where did you land on that?
Speaker 3 (08:22):
Pedals? More More, I do think audience is probably more
badly than Lisa.
Speaker 4 (08:28):
You think we've got quite a pedly audience.
Speaker 3 (08:29):
Yeah, yeah, you know, cricket's our it's you know, origins,
and I think the audience will we'll look at that
and go, you know pedals. You know, servant of cricket
for over twenty's still serving New Zealand cricket o this
day and Lisa sure not taking away from Lisa Carrington,
Lady of the Lake, Dame Lisa go in the boat.
(08:50):
But I just think that I think the audience, But
like you said, it might be divided on the Facebook
Instagram demographic divide Kirby.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
There's also recently by us. Anyway, we're dipping our toes
back into that yesterday's lake. But you can go and
have your say genuinely today it is Lisa as Padus.
So go and have your going have you say on
your facebooks and your Instagrams. I should pull people behind
the curtain this morning. We are up against the pump.
We'll get a couple of a couple of video shoots
to get away this morning, so you'll forgive us if
(09:17):
it's a truncated episode of the Gender Podcast. But with
that in mind, let's take a quick break, come back
talk some extual school.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
Line.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
There's a bit of news on the Rugby league front. Yep.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
It's news that I think is going to pass a
lot of our audience off, and that is that the
NRL Graham Man is the hit of the for shiators.
The NRAL has come out and said that the officials
got the RTS call wrong.
Speaker 3 (09:41):
I do you know what I feel like the NRL
officials are like Catholics because you can do whatever the
fuck you want and you just turn up to church
and go to confessional and repent and it's all sweet. Yeah,
And there's no blowback. No, so they're just trying to
go we sucked it up, sorr about that, Yeah, and
it's just tumbleweed until the next week and it happens
(10:04):
again tumble and it's like, what are the what are
the consequences?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
What are the ramifications here? Because if you get it wrong,
I mean, how often has this happened this year? I
was I fluctuate between being like, oh, well, why even
bother telling us that you got it wrong? Then if
there's no change coming, you know, like, what's the what's
the repercussions for us?
Speaker 3 (10:24):
It just makes us angrier.
Speaker 1 (10:25):
It does particularly us because we feel like as a
fan base that these calls are going against us, and
now we've got stats to back it up. They came
out and said that of the five sinbinnable offenses for
high contact over the weekend, four of them were caught,
and they were like, we're pretty happy with that ratio.
The only one that wasn't was the Roger to eve
us a shick one, and I would actually say that
(10:46):
the Mitch Barnett one, I don't think they've got bin
for that either, and he got hit so hard as
eyebrows split, it's like how what other fucking wrecking it
could have been, but it was quite clearly the second
man into the tackle pointed the shoulder right to his eyebrow,
and it's like, like we were saying after the game,
he's like, you know, we wax lyrical about us at
(11:08):
that time instead of working on about protecting the players.
And then as soon as someone gets hit, it's the
most egregious, like he has to come off because he's
been hit in the head. Now, the rulers, you're not
allowed to hit dudes in the head, and if you do,
you get bin.
Speaker 4 (11:22):
How was that not enforced? I don't understand it.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
I know that our season was over anyway, but that's
Roger's season done. And you know that's another head knock
in the career of Roger to with us as schick
there was no punishment for it. Then they come out
and sort of dance on our graves afterwards, and like, yeah,
I probably should have called that way.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
I saw a great mock letter on the ACC Instagram story,
which is I'll read to you. It says here, give me,
give me one moment, call it says here. Monday twenty
six of August, Dean New Zealand. I hope this email
(12:01):
finds you well. Once again, I wish to apologize for
the incompetent decision making of one of our officials in
your most recent fixture. The offending official has been reprimanded
and stood down. Although this appears to be the same
email as the one I sent you last time, it
is in fact new, as you can see by my
changing of the date above. Wishing also your injured player
(12:24):
luck with his recovery. Kind regards, Graham Ansley. Analsley, head
of the NRAL Elite Football Operations. As an official letter.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
It's like every other week. I would actually I've settled on.
I would rather not know now. I don't want to
know that you guys missed it, like we already know,
so you come out and say, oh sorry, and then
nothing happens.
Speaker 4 (12:44):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
The other thing is like will I'm bitching about the NRL.
They talk about like there's a salary cap in the league.
I don't know what it is. I don't know how
much the players get paid. But in the last ten
years only three teams have won the minor premiership Panthers,
Rooster's Storm, So how has the salary kept working. You
probably couldn't say it is. The Panthers have won three.
(13:08):
I mean they are losing players as their run continues.
Speaker 4 (13:12):
But I don't know what.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
There needs to be some sort of buddy, there needs
to be an investigation.
Speaker 3 (13:17):
Boody investigation.
Speaker 4 (13:18):
Mate.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Well, all the other clubs need to get smarter or richer.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
Yeah, because we you know the Roosters, they are proud
of the fact that they've got like a millionaire, billionaire
dude who's bankrolling everything. Everyone knows who he is, isn't
the politis.
Speaker 5 (13:32):
You know what?
Speaker 3 (13:34):
We need some of that dirty washing money.
Speaker 4 (13:36):
Who are there? Saudi's?
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Oh yeah, although Saudi Warriors the why do you worry? Yeah,
I don't know the one using on Saudi Warriors. It's
got a ring to it.
Speaker 4 (13:50):
Saudi well fund Warriors.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
Yeah, gotta stick one things get in there that because
I've been there forever.
Speaker 1 (13:54):
Would it achieve any of their goals reaching an audience
of five million?
Speaker 3 (13:59):
Ah? No, not at all. But I mean just a
bit of washing on the side. You know a few
our sports washing. This is just a little left hand corner.
But if they coul build off Waterfront Stadium maybe be
good as well.
Speaker 4 (14:09):
Yeah, one hundred percent.
Speaker 1 (14:11):
Speaking of rugby league and salary cap routes, Tom Traboivich
has offered to pay back seven hundred and fifty thousand
dollars of his salary over the next few years because yeah, exactly,
this is what I thought. So he was saying, I
haven't played many games in the last year, last two years,
well last three years. I think he's been injured, been
out with injuries. So he's gone to the club and said,
(14:32):
I'd like to volunteer to pay seven hundred and fifty
k back met smells.
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Does smell fishy, doesn't it.
Speaker 1 (14:39):
The NRL has then vetoed that and said you're not
allowed to You can't do it because there's a thing
in the NRAL where you have to pay a player
there like fear market value. It's to stop things like
when Roger two of us as she came back to us.
It's to stop us from paying him like sixteen thousand
dollars a year. Yeah, you know what I mean, just
to get him back in the team. There has to
be like a fear value there. So that's why they
(15:00):
would have vetoed it. But why if you're Tom trable
ivitge would you do that. Do you believe that he
just felt bad to the tune of seven hundred and
fifty thousand dollars?
Speaker 3 (15:10):
No, No, it's something, it's something. There's something not quite
right there.
Speaker 1 (15:13):
I think if I was to be to give him
benefit of the doubt, because this would have had to
go through his agent. It's not like he could just
call the NRL and be like his seven hundred and
fifty k. I think the agent would have looked at
it is like, we could give this money, get it
off off the salary cap. Yeah, potentially bring in more
players under that, you know, give that money to other players,
(15:36):
and then we can make it back up off the side.
Because this is a massive PR stunt, So we can
then get all these endorsement deals off the back of
that best case scenario, worst case scenario. NRL vetos it,
we still look like good guys, and we get to
keep the seven fifty k guilt free.
Speaker 3 (15:51):
Well, I mean, who's going to endorse some a tax
refund company.
Speaker 1 (15:54):
Like Well, if you look at their sponsors, it's all
like tax lawyers.
Speaker 3 (15:58):
Right, Okay, that's it's a bit of a PR stunt,
but it's a strange one. I've never heard of a
professional athlete wanting to give money back. Now they've done
and if they've overcharged, or they haven't paid tecks, or
there's something they're trying to slap a big dead fesshion
on the table.
Speaker 4 (16:13):
No, I do have a couple of stats here.
Speaker 1 (16:16):
It's because he has only played thirty games since the
start of twenty twenty two on a one point one
million dollar salary.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
It still does sound like a that But why give them
money back? Fuck them?
Speaker 3 (16:25):
They paid you. You know they you're a piece of meat.
They'll trade you in a half.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
One hundred percent, Like, so, why, what's where's the why
the loyalty?
Speaker 4 (16:33):
No, yeah, that's what I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Also, a lot of a big salary is a reward
for prior performance. So when he was balling out in
twenty twenty one, that's what most of their contract is for.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
It's a backpay.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Like when Kobe Bryant I paid forty million dollars a
year with the broken achilles. It was them saying, look,
thanks for the last few years, showing other players that
they're going to reward good performance. So I just don't think.
Speaker 4 (16:58):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
I always smell it and this could just because I've
been broke my entire life.
Speaker 4 (17:02):
But I'm not who gives money back on purpose, you
know what I mean?
Speaker 1 (17:04):
This was my whole thing where I didn't think Sean
Johnson was going to retire, so I was like, I
know he's gotten contract offers, so the hell's going to
turn that money down. This one's even more bizarre because
it's like you've got it, no one's asked, and then
you're like, oh, can I give it back? I don't
buy that he's just a good guy, you know, go
and give that to a charity. Then, you know, if
you don't think you deserve that money, give that.
Speaker 4 (17:26):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (17:26):
That's why I don't think this is there's more to
this than meets the eye. And everyone today has been like, oh,
what a great guy, hasn't he? That just shows you know,
he's a loyal club man and stuff like that.
Speaker 3 (17:37):
I don't know that.
Speaker 1 (17:38):
I don't know about that. You know, give it back
to your local club. Then if you don't want that
seven hundred and fifty k. Have we decided, I mean
we talked about it yesterday. We're going to put an
embargo on the America's Cup.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
I like, I don't mind talking about it, Okay, even
now and then if there's something juicy, if like you know,
if someone's found cheating, or if someone's been caught doing something.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
We've been accused of chatting, we have Jimmy's Yeah, here
we go, Jimmy spit Hill.
Speaker 3 (18:04):
Of course that's Jimmy Spittal, the fiery Ginger Australian come American.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, and Grant Dalton are getting into it. Jimmy Spittle
has said that there have been a lot of bugs
with what the Kiwis have supplied everyone, and it's the
first time it's all being used. So he's basically complaining
whoever holds the America's Cup guests to decide whateveryone races
in yep, and they're saying that all of the equipment
that they've been given is faulty or it's about deck
here it doesn't work that well. And Grant Dalton said, well,
(18:31):
beat us and then you can do it yourself.
Speaker 3 (18:34):
That's so true because these a holes are the ones
that remember they designed that one in Bermuda where they
then we did they want if they won the preliminary
they went into the final two races a head like
if they wont it. They got a head start and
then we ended up beating them. They it's it's that's
America's Cup. America's Cap is all about if you've got it,
(18:54):
you can do whatever you want. Make it impossible for Pete.
That's why it's so hard to win. Yeah, it's the
older rich guy sport.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
It's like, if we're in charge, we get to stack
the dick entirely in our favor. And it's like, well,
you guys are all playing, but this is the action
on the water is far less exciting than all of
the like litigation that goes on outside of the.
Speaker 3 (19:13):
Yeah and the slagging off. But that's good from Dalton.
Didn't expect that from him. Yeah, bets, bro, you can
you can do it yourself.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
It's like in the NBA, there's a like an unwritten
rule where if you're down by like or you're up
by like twenty and there's only ten seconds left in
the game, you don't run off and just dunk it.
Speaker 3 (19:28):
I've seen clips on YouTube of there and then the
fight starts yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:31):
And then a fight starts up, and I'm like, fuck it.
If you don't want that to happen, don't get blown
out by Twitter. You know, you should be allowed to
do whatever you want. I'd be going off the backboard,
dunking it backwards, nuts in their face the whole thing.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
How good would it be? The Blues can decide the
rules for the Super ragby next year.
Speaker 4 (19:47):
Yeah, so they've got a.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Mean forward pack, so they just stack the dicks and
just in terms of forward play, you're only allowed three backs. Yeah,
change the rules around line outs, around mauling around the
human centerpede, stack everything in their favor and think they
come and beat us.
Speaker 1 (20:03):
Yeah, and then all the other teams woner bits. I
don't like that I only allowed three backs.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
Three backs just changed the game completely.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
I don't like that they attached the basketball hoop to
the crossbar instead of conversions, and now you get a run
up and try and dunk it while some other guy
tries and blocks you.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Well, that's the extent of America's Cup, because you look,
you look at America's Cup, so Peter Blake era where
they're all just sitting on the side of the boat
and he's urinating off the back and it's basically just
a big old yacht with a big old sale going
about ten knots and to a foiling spaceship. Yeah, going
one hundred kilometers an hour. It's fucking pretty next level.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, tomorrow, I've got a half back sports idea that
revolves around the America's Cup and how we can leverage
the advantage of us deciding what the rules are.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
Are we allowed to decide the format and stuff as well?
Or is that?
Speaker 1 (20:49):
I think that's it right, Ah, we just decide what
the boats look like.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
No, in the format, because like I said before, when
America had it, when now Larry Ellison on that had it,
and they gave themselves a two two race advantage. They
designed the preliminary races so if they won the prelim
that they went into the final two races, so it
was already two nil by the time they had the final.
Speaker 4 (21:11):
So let's just rig it as much as we can.
Speaker 3 (21:13):
Yeah, so they know they decide everything, they decide when
it's done. I think the Louis v. The time the
Challenger Series is kind of set in stone, but they
can decide they can do whatever. You can do whatever
you want.
Speaker 1 (21:24):
I know, it's like we're gonna set the rules. So
the only week and it's like going around to your
rich friends places. As a kid, I just want to
you know, like they want to play backyard croger, but
they change all the rules so it's six it out
when you're in or when they are it's like, now
just go find the fucking ball and we'll keep playing.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Just get another ball.
Speaker 1 (21:40):
Yeah, So that's why I think a lot of people
don't want to go around to these rich kids' house.
All right, if the Hellbergs were tomorrow, this one's been
in the paper today, who would be your sports person
of the year.
Speaker 4 (21:51):
We are in an Olympic year.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
But I would also say that Lydia Coe, having just
won the open over there at the Home of Golf,
should probably be a pretty strong contender. I think it
would come down to her or Lisa Carrington, wouldn't it.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
Yeah, I would say so. But for her to back us.
That's really hard for Lisa Carrington, isn't it? Because she
it's like once every four years she gets to prove
her worth on the world stage. They have World Championships
and stuff. But when was the last time you watched
the kayak in World champs So, but Lydia kay obviously
every couple of months she's got a golf tournament, and
(22:24):
she's got four majors a year, so she's on the
headlines a little bit more, but still gold and back
that up with an open.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
She can only win what she's in.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
Yeah, I know, it's say Lydia Coe. I'm going to
say Lydia Coke right now, right now.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, Well, but I've mean, what's going to change between
now and the end of the year.
Speaker 3 (22:42):
She can win a couple more opens, a couple more majors,
but Lisa Carrington's not gonna that's true. But yeah, I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
She wants another gold medal.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
But the Halbergs tend to reward Olympians that tends to
be and Halberg's so dry and boring anyway. Yeah, we
need to do our own one.
Speaker 1 (22:57):
We should start our own awards and make it funny again.
Speaker 3 (23:00):
Yeah, and I you know what with the awards and
they got I got on z B with Jason Pine
to talk about this was this was before the Halberg's
and I just laid into the Helbergs because I say,
now they've lost touch.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
Of course they have.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
The Halbergs have lost, but in terms of it's just
it's been the same format and their idea of making
it interesting and God bless James mcconey go doing some
bits and pieces around, but that's not going to get
a whole new audiences. Mccony doing some bits with Michael
Jones and stuff like that. It's actually categories. They need
to involve the media more. They need to media bloopers,
They need the sports bloopers. Make it into a bit
(23:31):
of entertainment.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
That's all we do.
Speaker 3 (23:33):
Maybe we'll do our own sports awards. Yeah, yeah, so
we do that same night, no night before.
Speaker 1 (23:37):
Because that's basically I mean, I know the Helberg is
like a fundraising thing as well, but that's basically all
they did. They were just like, I we'll just have
a sports awards. It's not like the New Zealand Sports Awards.
It's the Halberg Foundation.
Speaker 3 (23:47):
Right yeah, but by defaulted as New Zealand Sports Awards.
Speaker 4 (23:53):
Well until now.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Yeah, I will have a chat with some sponsors, maybe
Snacker Changy or Ultra Snacker, ching Sports Awards, Nike, Nike, Google,
Our alan Stein's.
Speaker 1 (24:03):
Amazon, Apple. I don't know you well, but a few
feelings out there. Yeah, I think it's lessa character. I
think you Yeah, in the boat's got in the boat.
But anyway, that's a that's a completely We've already got
the greatest h Zealander of debate going on.
Speaker 3 (24:18):
I start another one.
Speaker 1 (24:19):
Don't weigh in on this one. All right, let's take
quick break. We'll come back with your splits.
Speaker 2 (24:26):
Yours please, brought you by Leader Home of the.
Speaker 4 (24:31):
Just the two to get through this morning. First call
of yours please, Roco and bag to lane.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Good to have your beat mate.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
Haven't been banana boat at this time, which is good
to hear. It is good to have you back to to.
Speaker 3 (24:44):
This is a sports adjacent podcast, and last week I
felt that Matthew heath derailed a little bit.
Speaker 2 (24:51):
Anyway, Frank heath.
Speaker 3 (24:55):
Well were talking too much sport last week or something
was that not only did he go to a j
are we barely talk sport at all?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
Last week?
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Okay, honest, there was a lot of like communist China.
There was a lot of like weirded time zones come from.
Speaker 3 (25:09):
Okay, there was a.
Speaker 1 (25:10):
Lot of famine related stuff, right yeah, just way off
into the weeds, which I enjoyed.
Speaker 3 (25:19):
Okay, at least's one there's one listening that's that's good.
Copying the couple of strays yesterday. No, they call it
here yours please?
Speaker 1 (25:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (25:29):
Good eight.
Speaker 5 (25:30):
The rugby league could take a card out of the
union book. Anything that's obviously hi A should be potential
yellow or you know card. Send off for the ability
to be upgraded. Send them off for five minutes, wait
for the social media to fire up. See what the
messes say. Send them offers could have really done with
(25:52):
those two players? Send off?
Speaker 2 (25:54):
Bullshit?
Speaker 3 (25:56):
He getting his turning left?
Speaker 4 (25:57):
All right? Oh left? I think it was Paul Over.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Yeah, okay, I don't think he's sitting in an I
hope he's not sitting in an inter season recording that.
Speaker 3 (26:04):
I like that public take to the public vote like
he's got five minutes, goes to Instagram or a Facebook
pole and the worm comes up on the screen, upgraded
to read.
Speaker 4 (26:14):
Yeah where's the worm?
Speaker 3 (26:15):
Goun That's not a bad idea just in general for
rugby and rugby leagueas go to the go to the public.
Speaker 1 (26:20):
But the problem is that guy didn't get bent, so yeah,
it would never have gotten upgraded. You know, like they're
not They're still just not going to send anyone to
the bent. So it's open season on Warrior's heads. I
dare say the Sharks sort of watched that last week
and be like, oh, let's kill these guys.
Speaker 4 (26:34):
They're not going to penalize us at all.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Now, what they'll do the last game of the season
that will swing the other way everything in our favor,
and we'll go, oh, yeah, see it's changed. Yeah, I
think us hoping next year.
Speaker 4 (26:46):
Yeah, just keep us on the hook. All right. That'll
do us for today. As I said before, we get
a month and of work to get through today.
Speaker 1 (26:52):
So we will come back tomorrow with a Wednesday edition
of the Agenda podcast and we'll see you then.
