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

Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you my nextport a Vulture.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
Good morning, mat Heath, take getting on on a Tuesday morning,
Matte good thanks. I'm meaning to hold my little thing
very gently to be able to hear this. Yeah, the
old headphone jack and the I've got some jack problems here,
the a sec big jack problems in the Export Beer
Garden Studio we always have.

Speaker 1 (00:31):
That's a new mic stand just to take everyone. Oh,
it's way less droopy, very god, it feels good. Yeah,
but it can't all be right.

Speaker 3 (00:38):
No, it's either you can hear you can hear me now,
but I can't hear you. It's yeah, yes, it's like
a sea saw. Yeah, but we're all right. We can't okay,
we can't have all ends on the floor at one time.
I've got a question for you, Matt Heath. If you
had just been shot, but had a tea time book
that your local golf course tomorrow, would you still shut
up and play golf in Auckland, Yes, yeah, I mean

(01:00):
if I own my own golf course, they'd be different.
But in Auckland's what happens when you shot through the ear? Yeah,
through the right ear? Ye does that? That doesn't effect much?
Does it? Does it throw your balance off? No? Like
everything now the way, like, because I've been reading about
this and there's like everything in America, there's a huge
debate about whether he did because the first shot was

(01:23):
put up was from a different time, and so every
no one believes anything. No one can believe anything.

Speaker 4 (01:28):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:29):
I saw that because when I looked at it as well,
the first headline was did Trump actually go and play golf?

Speaker 3 (01:34):
The day after? It's like, oh, I thought he definitely did. Yeah,
Well nothing's nothing's real anymore. No one knows.

Speaker 4 (01:39):
So he's made.

Speaker 3 (01:40):
Everything so confusing that you can't even tell if he
wouldn't play golf or not.

Speaker 4 (01:44):
No one knows. No one knows it all.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
But I mean, but I mean, like if you shot
through the air, you can still do a lot or
you know, I mean, like you know, any any closer
and it wouldn't be good.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
But but I think he's still operational.

Speaker 3 (01:58):
I guess the thing is, are you supposed to go
and see the peeps the person that did die?

Speaker 4 (02:04):
Oh yeah, oh that's a.

Speaker 1 (02:07):
Good boy with the family of the person that And
they're like, I'll try out play golf today.

Speaker 3 (02:12):
But I think he's rustled up like three million for
them or something Bucks rang them.

Speaker 4 (02:17):
It's so complicated.

Speaker 3 (02:19):
I want to delete all social media if I hadn't,
if I didn't have to, because it's just like, it's
just it will everything's unreal now. Fletcher and Nell he
plays rugby every game. It looks like he's been shot
in both ears so they can play rugby. I was
went on to the rugby on Saturday and given me
a Lamu was near me and he was telling a

(02:41):
story about how he goes and helps kids. Now, like
you'll peer for kids and then the kids will just
go yep, he'll say this, but I'll go waw. Years
will be the first question every time, and then the
next question week can we play with them? And then
his speeches to kids just end up with all the
kids just squeezing as he is playing with weird saying
with this weird it is because I suppose when did
he retire?

Speaker 4 (03:01):
Would that have been ten years ago?

Speaker 3 (03:04):
Well he really maybe did he play in the twenty
fifteen World Cup, but I don't think he did. Yeah
he did, I think so, So that'll be ten years ago.
Yeah's ten years ago. They got no memory of keivin
me Alama. We're playing for the All Black. So there's
just this guy that's come in with crazy years and
they go, what happened to Thanks for your inspirational check?

Speaker 4 (03:20):
Can we play with your years? And he's gone and
he goes one hundred tests for YEP, and they all
come and play with his ears.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
What was your Your experience from the ground there at
Eaton Park Watch in their game.

Speaker 4 (03:29):
Was it was pretty good? Yeah.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
I was sitting next to Kiaran Reid and so he
was also funny years. He also funny years. But we
were what miles miles back. But analysis from an ex
All Black captain is high level compared to say, the
guy to the right of me, it's Jimmy Wells. He
was giving some poor analysis. But Kieran Read's eyesight, he'd
like call call something from you know, like one hundred

(03:55):
and thirty meters away. He could see exactly what was
going on in call it. So it was pretty good.

Speaker 4 (04:00):
Experience.

Speaker 3 (04:01):
It's a pretty good, good understanding of the game. Yeah,
I feel like we need a bit more of that
on our TV screens because we always get these guys
on and then they're not allowed to give actual analysis
or anything. So well, just it's going to come down
to who plays harder, who wants it more, who cares
for the football little bit more. In defense, if you
get full analysis from an all back captain, complete with

(04:22):
Iffan and jeffin, it's pretty good. It's just a completely
different game experience. Do you think it was still a
little bit quiet and eaton Park. There's this weird thing
that happens because you get so hyped up for the
Harker and the game kind of dies down after that. Yeah,
because the hype is so hard and the choir is

(04:43):
singing the national anthem, great national ampstence with the choirs excellent.
They sounded really powerful, and there is just that little
bit where it just drops off a little bit when
the game starts. It's is quite odd, and you don't
get the league first hit up, no, which so you
know when the Warriors start the first but it's always
freaking exciting.

Speaker 1 (05:00):
Whoa and then yeah, in a rugby union game. It's
often a knock on off the.

Speaker 3 (05:06):
Yeah off the well the week before when we were
down in Dneda and that was weird because we were
watching the league and then at the same time he
was watching the rugby. Yeah, I will give Eden Park
their credit where creditors due one of the all time
Mexican waves.

Speaker 1 (05:20):
Yeah, that I've seen in a New Zealand rugby game. Yep,
it was powerful. It took a couple of goals to
get going.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
They're always like an old chainsaw, aren't there the Mexican wave.
It takes a couple of rops before it finally burst
into life. But when it finally did, it was wrapping
around that stadium. I was a little bit more into
it than anyone in my immediate sit although Ralph Lane
was sitting two seats down from me and was it.

Speaker 4 (05:42):
He was very into it.

Speaker 3 (05:43):
So I Later on after the game, I was asked,
do you want to see something in Eden Park that
you've never seen before? And I was like yeah, And
we were taken down into the bowels of Eden Park.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
Where ever headed someone No, but there was a secret room.

Speaker 3 (05:59):
By a black door of the most luxury bar you've
ever seen. Oh, really, like just a secret bar.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Are you allowed to be talking about this? I don't
know if I'm allowed to mention it.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
It was called the black door, so you go through
the black not the back door, the black door you
go through and then it's just this beautiful, the most
incredible bar.

Speaker 4 (06:18):
It looks like the kind of thing.

Speaker 3 (06:19):
You might see, you know, NBA players hanging it after
the right and it's not far from the changing room.
So I think it's a bar for absolute high ends
of sporting elite kind of people, right and you and me?

Speaker 4 (06:34):
Yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 1 (06:36):
What like I'm picturing NBA VIP Yeah, that kind of
felt robes, bottles service, yeah, that kind of thing, yeah, yeah, dancers, Yeah,
And I think it's about to announced to something that
you can book for the high end, absolute right ultra.

Speaker 4 (06:51):
VIP experience. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
But I just have to be standing beside Martin Guptal
talking about something when when he got called to come down. Yes,
so they said, I guess you can bring your little
friend as well. There's an age old a sec tradition
we were talking about this last weekend. We did that
with Kieran Reid at the bar after the game and
they were like, oh yeah, Kieren Reid can come in,
and he goes everyone go, and then I'll go and
last because they're not going to stop me from going

(07:14):
to That's right.

Speaker 4 (07:15):
About eight of us went in there. Oh I was
that down in Dunton.

Speaker 3 (07:18):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, because I did the terrible thing of
trying to you know, rustle us up getting in the bar.
Quicker Bot Yeah, texting you know one of the guys
that lay to the bar and he's like, nah, wait
out the front.

Speaker 4 (07:32):
But I didn't mention Karen Read this. Well, it was
the security guarden.

Speaker 1 (07:36):
I've mentioned this on the podcast, but it was the
look in his eye of being like, on Monday morning,
do I want to have to face my manager and
tell him that I didn't let Kieran Read into the
bar after the older ska, no, I'm going to have
to let him in. And then Kieren checkmated him by
being like, Okay, well here's my eight friends who was
like me you Lane Joe, and then just like five

(07:57):
other randoms.

Speaker 3 (07:58):
That joined the party were just there. Yeah, it's just
the kind of guy he is. Yeah, And then he
stood out in the freezing cold with us just because
he wasn't willing to just be you know, it was
the Titanic. He wasn't going to be the woman and
children on the lifeboat. Yeah, that's right, and leaving us
to drown. He stayed out there with us. So the speakeasy,
he's going to be available to the public. Then, I think,
like the flashes speakeasy you've ever seen, right, Like, yeah,

(08:24):
I left the trade out. Surely we're going to just
hang out with an international player, you know after the
game just pissed them and then you can get in.

Speaker 1 (08:30):
Yeah, speaking of international players, A dear friend of ours
has been on an all time junkeard.

Speaker 4 (08:34):
I want to take a quick air break.

Speaker 3 (08:35):
But when we come back, the latest from Richie mo
Oh yeah, a dear friend of ours smtt Heith. We're
hanging out with him and Danita and just recently Richie Mornga.
Oh what a great man he is. I've been saying
this to everyone because you know he was obviously I
don't think I'm revealing anything to say that he was
paid to be at the Expert Yeah pre party, pre

(08:58):
game down there just last week a man was he
chatting to everyone getting photos. He gets paid, Whether he's
a really, really good guy that gives a lot of
time to people or not. Yeah, that's done. You know,
people were just happy to be in the in the
area with them. Yeah, but he had time for so
many punishers and there.

Speaker 1 (09:17):
Including us, well, we arguably were the biggest punisher. Y Absolutely,
I punished him for the longest time. Yeah, you know,
it was one of those on the guys are protecting
him from other punishers. We were massively punishing him. Yeah,
that's right. You know, did I wake up the next
morning and think shit? Probably oversheared with Richie there last night,
you know, but you have these times, and you had
great chats with Shannon Frazel as well. He was lovely

(09:38):
chap as well.

Speaker 3 (09:38):
Yeah, definitely we swapt in our ol fantasy tips.

Speaker 1 (09:41):
But he's been on a hell of a junket since
he's been over here. Obviously, he's just come back from Japan.
He has another contract as contract's got two more years,
so he can't play for the All Blacks. So he's
just been over here basically on a junket doing absolutely.

Speaker 4 (09:56):
Whatever he feels like doing.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
He's hanging out with the city kickboxing dudes, Sonya and
Dan Hooker and them.

Speaker 4 (10:01):
Oh yep, just hanging out, giving them a few tips.

Speaker 3 (10:04):
And now just for these last couple of days he's
in camp with the State of origin of the New
South Wales Blues, just to be what an inspirational figure,
just an inspirational figure.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
They were interviewing him and they were like, what's your
role here and he's like, oh, nothing, really, I'm just
sort of here. It's been all very authentic and organic.
He's just having chats with people when they ask.

Speaker 1 (10:23):
Him, how bloody good I know, what a ridiculous junket
he's been on. It's hit the news the headlines though,
because he said that when he was talking to the
Blues team, he said, I was actually approached to join
the Warriors in twenty eighteen and for the longest time,
probably since twenty eighteen, I would say he has been
the number one player that any league fan would poach

(10:44):
from union to bring over to rugby league. Apparently it
got as serious as him, his manager and Stephen Kearney
getting in a room together wow and hashing it out.
And the only reason he didn't do it was because
of the World up in Japan twenty nineteen. Yeah, right,
and so he said, Bagat, I want to go and
play at the World Cup.

Speaker 3 (11:05):
So but he's got some years in them, could still happen.
He's thirty, yeah, thirty this year, so finishes that has
finishes his contract in two years. Yeah, so he's thirty two.
I mean, what's Sean Johnson. Yeah, Sean John's about thirty six. Yeah,
so you get four years at of Richie Wangan That
was it.

Speaker 4 (11:21):
Was jeez, wouldn't turn it down.

Speaker 3 (11:23):
He actually is shaped like a league player, he is.
He's got that league build. Yeah, sort of small study
five to eleven type mastulation. Eyes that you can get
lost in. Yeah, beautiful man, wonderful complexion, great lines on
his beard. Oh trying to like, you know, shape shape
to the beard. Yeah yeah, beautiful curls and here that

(11:44):
stays wet all day.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (11:48):
Yeah, you could just steer into those eyes all night.
And we did, and we did a great expense to
our friendship with him. But what a junket he's been on,
just just flying around the world doing absolutely whatever he wants.
Because that that Japanese tournament it's quite short, it's only
like three months or something.

Speaker 1 (12:04):
Yeah, and so he what a life is loving. He's
one of the highest reported two million dollar contract. I
don't know if that's per year.

Speaker 3 (12:12):
Yeah, well going, you know, you know, when you're still
in your prime, you know, you know, he could still
be verse five for the All Blacks.

Speaker 4 (12:20):
You know.

Speaker 3 (12:21):
That's so that's worth a lot of money, you know,
one hundred percent. Yeah, so so good, Jenniferraze. He could
be the number six for the All Blecks as well.

Speaker 4 (12:29):
Do you think so?

Speaker 1 (12:30):
The only swaying decision factor in his decision was that
he wanted to play at the Rugby World Cup in Japan.
If he knew then what he knows now that he
would not only lose that World Cup but the following
World Cup.

Speaker 3 (12:43):
Do you think it would have changed his mind? It's
a great question. It could have showed a water cut
a situation. Yeah, there's been some highs and lows of
the Wahs as well.

Speaker 4 (12:53):
Though. He could have changed that. Yeah, that's right, he
could have changed that. That's what we don't know.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
It's funny you say that the All Blecks lost the
World Cup, but you don't say that the Warriors lost
the NRL.

Speaker 4 (13:03):
Lost the NRL last year. You don't say you it's
how good you do?

Speaker 1 (13:07):
They came second year because like I was saying last week,
Shennan Frazzell said, basically our team was sort of like okay,
and then Richie Moke came over and we won.

Speaker 4 (13:16):
Turned to Richie, dear friend of mine, I can get
lost in here.

Speaker 1 (13:19):
That stays weird all day and said, when was the
last time you played in a professional rugby camp that
you didn't win? Like, if Richie and Wonga shows up
to a rugby comp, he wins it. He said, oh
the World Cup last year?

Speaker 4 (13:30):
Oh yeah. I was like, well, yeah, franchise. No, yeah,
I'm saying franchise yeah.

Speaker 3 (13:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:36):
Speaking of international rugby, here's a fun fact for you.
Australia currently have the longest active winning streak of any
Tier one nation.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
Wow, well, okay opposition and how many games?

Speaker 5 (13:50):
Uh?

Speaker 4 (13:50):
Wales? Three times?

Speaker 3 (13:53):
Okay, so I think I think actually what happened is
that did they win their last pool game last year
and now they've turned around and beat Wales twice?

Speaker 6 (14:01):
Ah?

Speaker 3 (14:01):
Well, hang on a minute, so aren't we on three?

Speaker 6 (14:04):
No?

Speaker 4 (14:04):
Because we lost our last World Cup game?

Speaker 3 (14:07):
Yeah yeah, of course, yeah, sorry, because you don't play
another Yeah, yeah, you don't play another got them an idiot?
So yeah, so we lost. Yeah, we lost the final.
It's a mathematics thing where but they are on the
longest winning streak of any Tier one nation as.

Speaker 4 (14:22):
They are back. The Wallabes are back. They've just lost
two of the best players the rugby league. But would
you would it be fair to say that rugby's back
in Australia.

Speaker 3 (14:31):
I can believe they've lost all their best players to
rugby league forever in AFL.

Speaker 4 (14:36):
And switching tacked now.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
The Sales GP yesterday were saying how amazing a weekend
it was to be Spanish. The Spaniards were still racing
when we recorded the podcast yesterday. They went on to
win it in the final over there in San Diego.
We not only do we lose to them, we actually
ended up coming third.

Speaker 3 (14:55):
Yeah overall, and the we missed out on a three
point two million dollar page Chicken.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
I New Zealand one in christ Church when we were there, Yeah,
there was talk.

Speaker 3 (15:08):
Of sending us over to San Diego to cover the
final as well.

Speaker 4 (15:11):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:11):
What happened with that talk, I don't know it was
there was strong loud talk, yeah, and not just by us, no,
other people suggested there were people at because we did
such good coverage and Littleton.

Speaker 4 (15:22):
People at sale GP that we're like, look we.

Speaker 3 (15:24):
Did all singing, all dancing coverage down there. We gave
it a hundid. They were like, look, we'd love to
have you over there. At San Diego said we would
love to come. And then just crickets, nothing, nothing, And
now we floated up upstream and and people like what no,
not those guys.

Speaker 4 (15:40):
They were awful. Didn't they bring the dolphins in?

Speaker 1 (15:44):
They're the ones that brought the dolphins in, so we
didn't get sent over there, and then the Blackfoils lose.

Speaker 3 (15:52):
Is that a coincidence? Not a coincident at all. No,
I mean Glane is a he's a massive curse to
everyone except for in yachting. He's actually never been to
he never supported a yachting regatta that hasn't won.

Speaker 4 (16:06):
That's a good.

Speaker 3 (16:07):
Point, is that technically part of the g Lane curse
when he's supporting his like a New Zealand team in
New Zealand. Well, one thing that we do know about
the g Lane curse is it doesn't and that all
of New Zealand is all blacks home territory. So he
can fly away to Dunedin for example, and that doesn't
cause the All Blacks to lose. Yes, flies over seas

(16:28):
to see them, it does. Yeah, it's kind of complicated
as home the home all of New Zealand is home
home to the All Blacks.

Speaker 4 (16:34):
So potentially is that why they didn't send him over there?
They heard about the curse?

Speaker 3 (16:39):
Maybe, yeah, we can't, so we needed to actually go
through the actual tenants of the curse.

Speaker 4 (16:43):
Yeah. And in Olympics news, Olympics is very very close.

Speaker 1 (16:47):
I actually believe the torch is in Paris and it's
making its way around Paris. There's still so many stories
about the.

Speaker 4 (16:54):
Quality of the sin River. Did you see Yeah? Was
it the Prime Minister the mirror of parwis swimming in
the thing? Did you see this? Right? Is that a she?

Speaker 3 (17:03):
It's a she because I saw a documentary and some
sharks came up the scene because the Mirror of Paris
wouldn't shut down the triathlon that was going there, and
the sharks rang a random muck. Yeah, with the triathletes
in the water. No, I know, I had in Wild's
a little bit worried about that as well. But no, No,
they did a bit of a pr stunt and they
went down and swum in the in the sin Rivet.

Speaker 4 (17:25):
It proved that there's no poos in there. Anyway, I digress.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
The point I'm trying to get to is Sammy Maxwell,
she is one of our mountain bikers. Yeah, she was
snubbed for Olympic selection despite the fact that she actually
met all the criterias in terms of she won the
right races, she was fast enough. And then New Zealand
Cycling said, nah, she can't go because she's got an
eating disorder.

Speaker 4 (17:47):
They didn't check it at all.

Speaker 3 (17:49):
They didn't ask her if she's still She has had
one in the past, but this wasn't based on any
report or any They didn't ask her about anything.

Speaker 1 (17:56):
And my only thing to New Zealand Cycling is like,
she's not going over to beat Joe Chess that on
the fourth of July. Can she ride the bike real fast?

Speaker 4 (18:06):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (18:06):
That's what her personal Life's got nothing to do with you,
No who cares with you. But by the way, have
you looked at what any professional athlete, you'd be like,
they've all got eating this definitely, yeah, one hundred percent. Yeah,
that seems freaking crap azy. Would you deny Arnold Swarzenegger
the chance to compete for his fifteenth Mister Olympia because
they've been eating too much chicken breast, chicken breast and

(18:30):
brown rice. Yeah, that's an eating disorder, right there, Come
on New Zealand cycling. I just think it's absolutely terrifying
to me how late they're leaving the run for all
of these sports to be decided. Yeah, it's crazy. The
shit starts in like two weeks. Yeah, I'm so excited.
I love an Olympics. Yeah, what's your favorite one to watch?
She Sai's a good question. I mean, obviously you get
most excited about the you know, the ters. I mean

(18:52):
that's the one that really builds you up. But every
year you get surprised by what you're into. Yeah, I
do get into the diving.

Speaker 4 (18:59):
Got a lot of time. I've got a lot of
time for whatever's on.

Speaker 1 (19:02):
Really, yes, I know this is the same thing for me,
because whatever's on, you sit down and you end up
watching it. Yeah, and you're like, I know nothing about
Olympic weightlifting. Yeah, then within half an hour someone else
could walk into the room. You're like, right, this means that,
this means that's now this guy dropped this one on
the first one, so this means he's got the second
chance you come back and win it. This way, yeah,
it's you're become an expert in everything, which is which is,

(19:24):
which is great, and then you never and you just
really freaking care and then you never think about it again.
I find Olympic not just because I'm the Kei Wei,
but I find Olympic growing really tense. I guess maybe
this way I like it because it's generally a key
we involved. You know, you jump on board, but the
key we involved.

Speaker 3 (19:39):
If the key's got a chance of winning, and then
whatever the sport is, it doesn't freaking matter what the
sport is, you freaking care.

Speaker 4 (19:45):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:46):
I think one of my favorite parts of the Olympics
is just exactly sitting down at a pub and trying
to figure out what it is the sport that you're watching.

Speaker 4 (19:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:54):
I don't know if you've ever watched the Winter Olympics
with Lee Heart, but it is one of the the
hardest I've ever laughed, sitting at a pub and having
him try to explain what he thinks is going on
on the TV. He was like watching the you know,
the luge, and there's like one man. He's facing backwards,
then he's facing forwards. Now there's two guys.

Speaker 3 (20:14):
The double luge is the double means louge is quite something, Yeah,
because do it on tops, not doing much by leaning
a little bit. I mean he's just ballast. You know,
you do that with a mannequin. Also, I don't know,
it's an od sport to get into. I think if
it would be better if it was face to face
well and mixed. Yeah, Lee was wondering if it shouldn't

(20:38):
be sixty nine where one person's facing down and steering
and the other person's leaning back and sort of like
if that's a competitive advantage into it. Yeah, you know,
and just just live with the consequences.

Speaker 4 (20:50):
I think you're going to have to. And but I
mean any of it.

Speaker 3 (20:52):
You don't see nude double louge, do you?

Speaker 4 (20:55):
Not often?

Speaker 3 (20:56):
No, But you know, like people get pretty nudy and
some sports, yes, But yeah, I just wonder if they
found out there was an advantage of being nude doing it,
whether they do it, I think it's like the sharkskin
suits they had. Yeah, in the pool, there's actually an
aerodynamic advantage to wearing the old Kathy Freeman on.

Speaker 4 (21:13):
The on the ice skating.

Speaker 1 (21:14):
A lot of people have been asking if we're going
to commentate the Olympics, and each one of those people
I've said the same thing, what's event?

Speaker 4 (21:20):
Because there are millions of events?

Speaker 1 (21:22):
And are you going to get up at one in
the morning towards the badminton qualifiers?

Speaker 3 (21:25):
If we commentate it, we will commentate the whole of
the Olympics. Well we would if it was up to us, Yeah,
we would ae haelndred percent, we'd be all over it.

Speaker 1 (21:35):
But it'd be like when Glane commentated the black Caps
versus Uganda at two thirty in the morning.

Speaker 4 (21:40):
Oh yeah, there's been non orgent.

Speaker 3 (21:43):
What's the deal with the sevens?

Speaker 4 (21:45):
Like? Are we looking good? Are we? Oh? What's happening there?

Speaker 3 (21:49):
I'm gonna be honest, And what it was there four
years ago?

Speaker 4 (21:51):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (21:52):
Yeah, no, no three because they had to delay that.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, it's going to say Jesus Christ
if that was four years ago, Tree is pretty bad.

Speaker 4 (22:00):
That's what seems like.

Speaker 3 (22:01):
It's some round some ruby, Tilley and the crew wrapped
in a new one.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
Yeah, as far as I'm aware, we're still dominating every
other week.

Speaker 4 (22:09):
We hear that we're in the final. I think our
men lost the last final and the woman one.

Speaker 3 (22:14):
But I think anytime you show up at the Olympics,
unless you've got Sunny Bill and your team, you're probably
a good chance of winning. When he jumped ship to
try and get himself an Olympic gold, yeah we crashed out.

Speaker 4 (22:24):
Yeah, so yeah, a little bit disappointed by I'm also
looking forward to that.

Speaker 1 (22:27):
I think what we're actually going to do is just
give you a recap on this podcast every morning.

Speaker 4 (22:32):
Yeah, let's do that.

Speaker 3 (22:33):
Let's let's not spoil anything by making any predictions, no,
because they will inevitably Ye. Let's just learn the names
of the players and remember them for the rest of
our lives. Once they once they they bring home the glory,
the quiest for bronze.

Speaker 4 (22:48):
Yeah, care we gold.

Speaker 1 (22:50):
We're going to take one more quick break when we
come back. We've got your feedback on yours Please, yours.

Speaker 2 (22:57):

Speaker 1 (23:03):

Speaker 4 (23:09):
When you do that, you.

Speaker 3 (23:10):
Have thirty seconds to record a message, just like this
person here has caller, yourles, please good a fence.

Speaker 5 (23:16):
I'd love to know the t's and.

Speaker 7 (23:18):
Seas of betting on the kids, betting.

Speaker 4 (23:22):
On the babies, nappies, bottles, tantrums, how many night fees?

Speaker 3 (23:29):
How crazy it's.

Speaker 7 (23:29):
Going to drive me?

Speaker 3 (23:30):
You do love to know all the same game multis
and anything you guys can make happen.

Speaker 7 (23:35):
Yep, I'll get amongst it.

Speaker 1 (23:39):
So last week we had a caller caller and say
that he liked to gamble on him and his wife
liked to gamble on whether the baby had a full
nappy or not. They just gambling between them. Lane said
that he started to introduce a little bit of gambling
with his kids. Unfortunately, now it means that because he's
giving them prices for how far they can hit a
put on the golf course, and so now there's trying

(24:00):
to hit the furthest part that they can. Yeah, right,
they try and win the biggest amount of money. But
as as a father of two, have you ever run
any gambling odds on your on your kids?

Speaker 3 (24:10):
Wow, that's not I have not, actually, and I think
I've missed because you know, like when you have a
punt on a on a sporting fixture. It makes everything
a lot more exciting. Yes, so maybe it would have
like you know, god, I could have not even just
a birthing sweep steak or I guess you could put
money on overs and unders when the kid's gonna start
screaming and wake you up, and if you win, you

(24:30):
don't have to get up. That would be a great
way to do it, even if Yeah, so whoever's closest
gets to stay down. Yeah, yeah, because or either either way,
it would just be good to if you wake up
in the middle of the night, you can at least
check your phone and have that fun moment of like,
oh yeah, yeah, and I'll be going straight back I
get Yeah, I don't know. Yeah, no, I didn't do that.

(24:52):
I feel now my kids are getting big now it's
hard to bet on what they do. Never bought a
bet on any of their sporting activities. Oh well, because
it's already the most terrifying thing in the world watching
your kid bat or bowl at cricket. Yeah, is so
freaking terrifying, just because you know how much it means

(25:12):
to them, and you know the repercussions.

Speaker 4 (25:14):
You know, like it's more to see them.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah, or if they bowl two wides in a row,
and then you see them starting to eat themselves alive.
If you're seeing them get the yips in real time,
that's hard for a dad to watch. Yeah, and then
it's it's not vicarious, no, it's just them. Yeah, because
you know, I'm so crap that. You know, my eldest
son was better than me at sport by the time

(25:37):
he was like thirteen at all sports bybby earlier. But
it's just you know what they're going to go through.
So if I had a punt on that as well,
I wouldn't be able to handle the pressure.

Speaker 4 (25:48):
That's what I'm thinking.

Speaker 1 (25:48):
You watch your son capitulate out there on the cricket
pitch and then Mike Lane comes over and goes, oh,
and I'll have that twenty bucks off your thanks because
your son just so happy.

Speaker 3 (26:00):
Gelie, I had wide next ball for your son three
words in a row.

Speaker 1 (26:04):
The thing is the way the game it would be.
Mike Lane would were one hundred percent bet against his kids.
Oh yeah, yeah, so.

Speaker 3 (26:12):
You could fix it really easily because he'd want happiness
assurance for how annoyty you'd be if they did well.

Speaker 4 (26:17):
Yeah, and how much they'd rub it in on him.

Speaker 1 (26:19):
It would be deflating as a kid to come home
having just missed out on a representative sporting team and
just be like, oh, look, mama missed the team.

Speaker 3 (26:27):
And then she's like, oh, I'm sorry to hear that,
and then slides your dad twenty bucks.

Speaker 4 (26:34):
I told you.

Speaker 3 (26:36):
I told you he was not going to make that
heavily against Yeah, those other six kids have just hit puberty.
There's no way he's making the basketball team right now.
I beat you twenty bucks. He doesn't make this team.
There's been no recovering from that. I think it has
to be while there's still babies you have to bet on,
like yeah, could you could actually be like yeah, as
their babies? I think because like in that situation, you
got inside knowledge you could not beat them breakfast, and

(26:56):
then you know, there's a lot of things you could do.

Speaker 4 (26:58):
To affect the outcome.

Speaker 3 (27:00):
Arrive late, you know, like you know, put the wrong
sized pads in the get bag.

Speaker 1 (27:08):
You've seen the left all of their gear outside and
it's about to rain, but you don't say anything, yeah,
because you've got twenty bucks riding on it.

Speaker 3 (27:13):
You take the NSLs out of their footy boots, heavily
against them.

Speaker 4 (27:21):
That is real degenerate parenting.

Speaker 1 (27:23):
But yeah, if that's triggered anyone else, any other markets
that you'd like to open up on gambling on children
would happily be the home of child gambling. Here at
the a SEC, we've got no problem with another call
here yours please yeah.

Speaker 4 (27:35):
Good a boys.

Speaker 6 (27:36):
Firstly, if lee Hart does make it bug over in
Europe with the chip game and buys a super yacht,
don't step foot on it. I went for a company
that Solomon's Jet skared a deal three years ago and
we still haven't seen it back for its first service. Secondly,
I have heard rumors that Quartez Rattima has or could
bench one hundred and fifty kilos coming out of Hamilton.

(27:57):
Boys High and just on that note, cheers boys, riscause love.

Speaker 3 (28:01):
Love, bless you courties. How good well?

Speaker 4 (28:05):
I was saying this yesterday on the podcast.

Speaker 3 (28:06):
As soon as he came on my missus and then
subsequently subsequently Lauren from out of the office, who I
was sitting with, they both who's that.

Speaker 4 (28:13):
Yeah, he's hot? Yeah? Changed everything.

Speaker 3 (28:16):
Obviously, we don't stand for sexually objectifying people on the
sports field Here at the ac so we never would
do that, would never bring any kind of sexual anawly's
listen to our coverage, Never have and never would.

Speaker 4 (28:27):
But I just thought it was interesting.

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I've seen I've seen Lee hard out
on that jet ski. Oh you have, I've seen him
out there. Yeah, he keeps it up at the Echo Lodge.

Speaker 4 (28:39):
All right, that's still going yeah right.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
I think, like a lot of things Lee does, he
does it for a bit and then he finds the
reason why he doesn't want to do it and goes
to the pub.

Speaker 4 (28:50):
On what kind of we're talking about Richie Monger's junket before?
What kind of junk it is? Leon?

Speaker 3 (28:55):
We were saying this yesterday, like, hey, the snack changing Halftimes.

Speaker 1 (29:00):
First week it's from Mexico. This week it was from Croatia.
Just yesterday it seemed that he was in Spain. Yeah,
for the Euro's Final?

Speaker 4 (29:09):
What is he up there? Do you know?

Speaker 3 (29:10):
He took us kids over there for a bit. But
they might be back. I'm not I'm not I'm not
really really.

Speaker 4 (29:15):
Sure he's gambling on them. I don't know.

Speaker 3 (29:17):
He just seems that, yeah, maybe he has to see
how long they could handle keep up with their dad's drinking.
I don't know, but I think he's doing quite well
off the big chap. It seems like he's doing quite well.
I think he's the kind of guy that can just
stay in Europe and luxury accommodation for as long as
he freaking wants.

Speaker 4 (29:37):
Yeah, a man of leisure about too.

Speaker 3 (29:39):
I'm happy to have him on board as the sponsor,
one of the sponsors of the ACC one Final Call
of yours space.

Speaker 5 (29:47):
Yeah you get o Fellers, how you cheers for sitting
out that white fan's cricket bat that you put out
the Dems. I was pretty surprised to receive that in
the male full size cricket bat with all the ladies'
names slightly.

Speaker 7 (30:00):
Jet gave it to my daughter who is also a
big fan. And for white fans, we've got a few tests,
men's tests, and then we've got a few domessic games
and white fans games, and she would also like to
say something to.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Thank you for the cricket and fu South Canbury.

Speaker 3 (30:20):
Ah, that is that is so good? Oh that was
so wholesome. I was tearing up with the wholesomeness. And
then that fuck South Canteribar at the end. That is
the perfect I think it's reached its peak. Is that
time to shut down the US?

Speaker 4 (30:39):
Please?

Speaker 3 (30:39):
I mean that is Can anyone now do that that
was a false flag at the start.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
I had no idea whether message was going from the
start where he's like, thank you for sending the thing
that I've got my daughter here, and then to be
zoo with the fuck South Canterbury.

Speaker 4 (30:57):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:57):
I felt for you when we were down in Dunedin
apart and there was people getting around. There's a lot
of fucks South Canterbury and and you said something to me,
and you know, we joke around a lot, but I
saw a real hurt in your life and you go.
So the thing I'm going to be known for is
fuck South Canterbury. Like the thing it just swirls around me, you.

Speaker 4 (31:15):
Know, just just just.

Speaker 3 (31:17):
Really shitting on my own home, you know, my home turf. Well, yeah,
there's a couple of things on this one. You don't
get to choose there, that's the thing. You don't get
to choose what blows up. The people have spoken, Yeah,
and it's fuck South Canterbery.

Speaker 6 (31:30):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
The second part that I really hate is that everybody
that's seeing it on social media doesn't listen to the podcast,
doesn't know what it's about.

Speaker 3 (31:38):
They think it's coming from me. Yeah, that I'm saying
fuck South Canterbury.

Speaker 4 (31:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (31:42):
And the third part is the more I complain about it,
the more that comes in. Oh yeah, there's no way
out for you. But even if you're not complaining about it,
people know. Yeah, people know that. People know that it's
cutting through. Uh yeah.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
And the only solution that I've come up with is,
I don't know, if you saw the mock up of
the jerseys that someone wanted to make the fuck South
Canterbury Social Club Yeah yeah, is shorting the market by
selling those jerseys to anyone who's playing against South Canterbury
and the Heartland and then using the money to fund
South Canterbury to fly up to compete for the Shield
next year.

Speaker 3 (32:12):
That's brilliant. Yeah, that's brilliant. I think that's the only
solution here.

Speaker 4 (32:15):
Yeah, there you go.

Speaker 3 (32:16):
That's that's complicated. Three D cheers you're playing there. I
think to have a small child yelling fuck South Canterbury
at me for a voicemail on a podcasts simultaneously the
highest and lowest point of my broadcasting career. Well, I
think I told you over a few beers that you know,
I campaigned really hard to get a TV show on
TVNZ many many years ago and finally got there, and

(32:39):
I wasn't nobody from duned and got this TV show
and was it rated really well on its first night.
But I had this joke and at one joke in
it where I was going up to people saying, eat
my shit and drink my purse and I'll give you
five bucks.

Speaker 4 (32:50):
It was just just a little joke, so it was
like pretending to be.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
It was called a Danny dearsy bit and so like
immediately have some six says. But all that happens is
wherever I go, eat my shirt, drink my purse, as
all the people you know to be at a full show,
just one little joke, eat my drink. And then so
everywhere I went people were just yelling at me that,
and I was thinking, as you said, you don't get
to choose it, and why do you expect it won't

(33:17):
be quite as good as you'd hope. Yeah, well, I
think we'll knock it on the head for today. This
has been a bo As I said, a simultaneous high
and low in my broadcasting career. Thank you very much
for joining us, Matt Heath, Eat my shirt, Drink my purse.
We'll see you guys tomorrow for another episode of the
Agenda podcast.
