Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live from the Export Beer Garden studio and brought to you,
as always by Export Ultra, the bear for here. This
is the Agenda Podcast for Thursday, the twenty eighth of November.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and claf Trap,
brought to you by Export a Vulture.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And we are still in Crosshatch.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We're coming to you live and direct from the Romata
Hotel across the road from Takaha Stadium or what will
be Ta Cars Stadium in a year or two time.
I'll tell you what the gun helpful leather over there
or that instructure.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
April twenty twenty six. That's what That's what our cap
driver told us. Yeah, but it looks from the outside
it looks like it should be ready sooner than that,
but obviously there's a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's one of those stadiums that sort of looks a
little bit like Forsyth Bar, where it's like giant scaffolding
worth glad wrap around it and you're like, how long
could that take really?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
But they are they're over there guing health leathering. Impressive.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
This is not an ad for the Remata, but impressive
soundproofing here I can hear anything.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Because there is about a thousand people working on that
site right now. But yeah, well it helps that we're
on the other side of the building. A Test cricket
starts today.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Oh my god, Happy cricket Christmas.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So we're going to pop our cricket cherry eleven o'clock
this morning. The first Test match. We went and checked
out Hagley Oval.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yesterday. We had a good wander around.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Had a heady yarn to your mate Bears, Yes, who
was out heading catcheres to Olli Pope, who is the
replacement keeper because the original keeper has broken his finger
or something, so Oli Pope and he's not a full
time keeper. So he was out there and Bears was
absolutely creaming balls at him.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, he was giving it to him. He was standing
in front of the hoarding. The bloody hoardings are pretty resilient,
I thought, because they were using that as their backstop,
and Bears was just blasting him, like obliterating him.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And I saw what I described.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yesterday as my first ever professional loser circle.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yes it was.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I mean, look, the loser circle is you might know
as the warm up routine before a usually before a
social cricket match where everyone stands in a kind of
big arc and one person just hats catchers and it
is known as the loser circle. But this one was
you that you can't. I don't think you'd call it
a loser circle because pretty much there was a three
(02:26):
man slip cordon and a wicket keeper, a man standing
almost like on a mound, hiffing like a picture. Yeah,
bears on one knee, yes, and him just like cutting
everything into the slip cordon.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He was getting like genuine edges. Yeah, that's on purpose,
the level of skill you have to have.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
To edge it on purpose. Also, he had no gloves on.
That was wild.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
So the guy's having a ball at him, a one
hundred k's and he's down on one knee just nicking
them to a professional loser circle.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, Well, I think what we found there is a loophole,
the loser circle loophole where if you stand in a
slip cord and it's no longer a loser circle, yes,
it is now a slip cordon and you're actually training,
it's not a loser circle.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I also, I mean I wouldn't recommend that you suddenly
changed from a loser circle into this format of catching
because you really got to trust the thrower because you
got no helmet, You've got no nothing like I'd imagine
if we tried to do it as the acc eleven,
the first ball would be thrown at my head yeap, yes,
on purpose, and my nose would be splittered across my face.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
There be no edges. Yeah. It was good though to
get down there.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
We let to go a bit of a trojan horse
sort of a route to get into the ground.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Because we got there and the securities like who the
hell are you guys?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, we said, oh no, no, we just we know
a few people here, know Dave, Can you let me in?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yes? No, we lock down mate.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Then eventually someone actually did show up for New Zealand Cricket.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It was like, what are you guys doing here? Oh no,
we come down to just come to look at the pitch.
I don't have a look at the pitch and he's
like oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So then so then we got they didn't and they
just so happened to be out there training. We had
a bit of a gas bag with the ground stuff
there as well. Yeah, worrying stuff. They've got detimo in
the pitch.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Not Didimo, but they had they have a grub. That's
some sort of grub. Yeah, that's come from Scotland. It's
that they keep it bay by spraying it. We just
sprayed him down there and it drives him down. So
it's like the upside down. It's yeah, there's something's going
on under the ground that we don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So it's an organism.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I thought it was some sort of bloody well like
I said, I thought it was dimo.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
No, no, no, it's a living organism. Okay, so they
got nuts.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Basically, they got nuts, they got catoos oval they have
and the pitch is a classic Hagley start of the
season pitch.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
She's as green as the outfield. Yeah that's what the
that's what the ground stuff said. When we were talking
to them. What do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they said that they played a
plunk shield Northern District's Canterbury and on day one, three
hundred and fifty runs were scored in nine wickets were taken.
So I was like, yeah, okay, that's not not too bad.
So it's not not a total mindfield, no, but.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's I thought it was funny talking to them about
how they think about preparing because I've never talked to
a grounds person about that kind of thing before, and
like the stats that they want to sort of reduce,
and yeah, he was like, yeah, three and fifty rouns,
but there's also nine wickets and you could see his
eyes lighting up and he got that glow. It was
the same look that Gary steerdead in his eyes when
(05:31):
he was teaching me how to bowl leggies on the
floor of TV and Z. It was that, oh, this
is my thing. I love talking about this.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, they had it real stiffy for it. So the
toss is going to be pretty important. I think whoever
wins the toss will definitely bowl, unless Bears he goes
for Bears and.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Decides to bat.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So but I don't, I don't know. I don't I
don't think he will. Yeah, their chance, their World Test
Championships chances are done. England they're out. They lost to
Pakis are two to one last series, so they're they're
they're mathematically impossible. So they've got they've got you know,
they've got the freedom. We have got the pressure. We
have to win all three of these games first time
(06:12):
for a while. No Anderson and no broad No, No,
Jimmy Anderson.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I thought he'd retire.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
So it's the bowling intake is led by Chris Wokes
Murder Murder she Wokes and then Gus Atkinson Brighton cass
Is show him the spinner. So it's all kind of
unknowns to us. Yeah, you must have checked Brayton or
in Brighton, Brighton cass So yeah, so it's kind of
(06:37):
an all new bowling lineup that we're gonna we're going
to see here. By all accounts, gust consent as a
pretty as pretty rapid, right, so that's going to be
And seeing they've got Jacob Bethel number three, he's on debut,
I was gonna say, doesn't ring a bell left left
hander at first time betting at number three as well,
So it's a bit but there's a bit going on. Obviously,
(06:58):
Nathan Smith will be making his debut for New Zealand
as part of the Saudi O'Rourke and Matt Henry combo,
so there's a little bit going on for that England team.
It's gonna be a fascinating first day, yes, because I
just don't know how to how to pick up. I mean,
obviously we've got the confidence from India. Yeah, they got
(07:19):
a fairly kind of fresh team. But they'll be coming
with the BBC, the McCallum with the Bears BDC.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, maybe they. Who's Sir Jeffrey Boycott.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Jeffrey boy He is an old Yorkshire cricketer, used to
play for England. He's the dry ass guy who on
all the commentaries.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So he's written an article this week saying that what
New Zealand should do because we just beat India in
India three nil. They just lost to who Pakistan two one,
two to one, both in dust bowls. He said, if
we had any balls, we'd prepare a dust bowl here
in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well that's what I mentioned.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
You said, it's like Justice one dust bowl. Yeah, well
for the start and Wellington's my basin, Rezis was my ground.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, well he said we don't have the stones to
do it. Fucking Boycott.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
So Boycott was notoriously slow. He was notoriously known as
the world's slowest and most boring batsman. People would run
him out just to get rid of him, like his
own team. His own team would run him out because
he was so dull.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah right, that's like when Chris k occupied the crest
for all twenty overs of Trade's eleven yea, and yeah
he scored twenty something himself, but it was directly the
reason we lost him.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It wasn't the catchers, it was him holding up an
end to the T twenty. It's not what you do.
He set up the brick wall. He's like, I did.
We're like, yeah, thanks mate, you did.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, No, I just I reckon we should do it
as well. But I don't understand why we don't do
more of It's so much more fun bowling spin watching
spin bowlers. Yeah, but we just go green zeema.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, I don't know. What what do you do to Pip?
I mean, maybe ask kJ Maybe we'll give him a call.
How do you prepare a dust bowl? Do you just
burn the grass off? Is it the type of clay
that you use? Is it? How do you do you
just fucking roll the ship out of it until nothing
can live on it? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You'd have to get the deimo out of it first. Yeah,
issue didn't get the cartoos out.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I think Wellington is the one. I don't know why
it's got the vibe. Hamilton potentially could turn into it.
You could turn that into a dustball.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Well, yeah, what happened last year when all of a
sudden the spinners looked incredible, that was because it was bouncing.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah, something happened last season where it was remember we
misread this African Test and it was turning on day one.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, we dropped no spinner. We had no spinners. That
were like fuck Glenn and you can turn it on
this It's like oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, no, there was.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
That's great. There should be more of that. Have we
heard anything about the Barbie Army that in town? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
They.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I don't think I've got a big traveling party, but
all the Expats come out of the cracks. H they
like come out of the sewers whenever England tour and
they all gathered together and sing their sing their songs and.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah whatever cross Roads is very English town as well.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, there'll be there'll be a lot of them and
they will sing every Yeah, that's good. It shows the
Yonders and we're just so rubbish it doing any of
that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah we are.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Five memories have been a kid at Bloody Jade Stadium
at Lancaster Park and you know the barmie Army is
there and they're going crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
They are very song focused.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yes, the Barmie Army and English sports fans in general,
the football fans, the cricket fans will be. They're saying
swing law Stweech area.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
In the early days, that are one of their greatest chances.
When when you can get three dollars to the pound,
and then that's saying we've got one dollar.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
To the pound, we've got two dollars to the pound,
we've got three. Yeah. I love a good financial about
coming over here. Just yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I remember going to a game where I actually watched
Shane Warn play one time, and these dudes up behind me.
They went to the Barmi Army obviously, but they were
just yelling who ate all the pies the entire game,
who ate all the pies? And I just as a
like ten year old kid, I was like, this is
the greatest day of my life. You ate all the pies?
You're allowed to abuse so much? Yeah, what are your fair? Past?
(11:13):
Me and my dad up there just giving it to him.
That's powerful. Just while we're talking cricket as well, and
before we take a quick break, we did. I just
realized this morning we actually didn't touch on it at all.
But the IPL auction was over the weekend, a slave auction.
The slave auction. I hate the way that they say
that they were sold.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, it's the slave auction that was held in Reed.
Oh I don't know it was in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Any Yeah, but only really from Lovely twenty for New Zealand,
I think. But he got paid to lat On a
bit million now when he that goes straight to him, right, yeah,
it does.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
A part of it goes to New Zealand, not.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
For him, no, because he doesn't have the central contract,
so they wouldn't get a cut of it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
He doesn't.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
That's it's it's really convoluted about how they pay them
as well. You've got to play every game, right if
you're available to every game. It's different from if you
play every game, and it's kind of kind of pro
rata to that. So if you don't have the maximum, so.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
If you just don't get picked but you're healthy, you
don't get paid.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You get paid not the full whack. Yeah, right, and
then you got Rishian part went for five million.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That doesn't pass the sniff test.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Yeah, they love him though, they love they love him.
He's the every day's hero. He's a little bit chubby.
He keeps and he's smecks the ball.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Like I said, I saw them warming up and we
were playing against him and he did a bloody handspring.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I was like, what the fuck is that? This ud?
Looks like meat?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yeah, well he's got for six weeks work, he's got
five got a million bucks a week.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, that is that is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I saw that Mitchell, Darrel Mitchell didn't go and I
was like, that's confusing because I remember he got the
bag last year.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Yeah, because Conway. Conway's been selected along with Ravendra. Yes,
they're the only ones in the first round.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, but Mitchell missed out and I found out that
he actually had a reserve price of about four hundred
and something.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
K oh, we have a limited space remaining on the podcast.
Set up the memory card. This could be a short podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
No, but well he had a reserve of four hundred
and sixty cable, which I don't know. I don't understand
how that's sit but that he just missed out on
money because of that reserve.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
The reserve too high.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Yeah, yeah, well Ben Stokes has sit them out completely.
He's pulled himself out of the auction. He's going to
concentrate and playing for bears.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
He's decided he's got enough money. Yeah, that's ridiculous. And
Dave good news though, David, dam dumm. He also got
left off. Oh thank god. Yeah, he didn't get packed either.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'd actually probably rather he did get picked than then
this list of him in the commentary.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah true, actually, yeah, all right, let us take a break.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
We're going to check the equipment here, make sure it
doesn't fail us, and then they will be right back.
All right, Well, we don't know how long this podcast
is going to go for, because we've just received a
warning on our remote recorder that it's got limited space.
Didn't tell us how much space it's got left. No,
there is a number on there.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
This is fourteen.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Now, that could mean that we've got fourteen minutes left,
but we've also been recording for fourteen so well.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, Look, it's like when Petrolt comes on in the car.
You don't know exactly how far you can go. Some
say eighty ks, some say fifty, some say twenty.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, we don't have the range on here, so we're
just going to ride this thing into the Rocks. Joe
Juria's had to go back early. He would know how
to fix this. But he is in Auckland setting up
for the commentary, which is everywhere we go and everyone
that we've seen since we've been down here in christ
it just said the exact same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Oh, he goes down for the cricket. Wow, funnily enough. No, no,
we'll be back up.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
We will be back up in Auckland to commentate the
game that's going on just down the road from where
we are right now. Some other stories in the sporting world,
Joseph park has just announced a new fight. He's going
to fight d Boys Dubois du Bois, who is the
guy who just knocked out Anthony Joshua. Yeah, yes, Anthony Joshua.
(14:58):
He's going to fight him in Saudi twenty twenty two
for the IBF title. Which is great news for Joseph
Parker because he had I believe a contract or some
sort of agreement in place for the for one of
the fights in December that he was going to be
on the card and then for whatever reason, they announced
the card and he saw he wasn't on it. So
(15:18):
he's like, oh, they've they've bloody slocked me. I've turned
my microphone on and my notes ap, it's just written
down everything. I just said, what the hell? So yeah,
so Saudi again, Saudi again. That's where it's all happening. Now,
all happens in Saudi, all of the boxing. I'm fine
with it. Like I said, for the longest time, I've
been saying, we should just have one place and everyone
(15:38):
does all of this sport there and it's happening, and
it's the Middle East, if youah.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
The only problem is, I mean, the Middle East is fine. Sadi.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Saudi's a little bit tougher to have a good time,
and yeah, you know, it's not quite as loose as
Dubai or even Abdhabi.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah, so yeah, I don't know if all of.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
It needs to be played in Saudi unless they create
a little principality where you can actually.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Get past them. Yes, I feel like they'd be open
to that. Yeah, they probably would.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
They don't mind letting the wistern pigs just roll around
in their shit if they want to, you know, as
long as they're not doing they'll let.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
You just sort of go on go and do your
thing over the Western pegs rolling around in this shit. No.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, so that's good news for Joseph Parker. I'm pretty
excited about that. To the social media disc do you
follow Bryson dis Chambeau on Instagram?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
No? I don't. Well, he's worth a follow at the moment.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
He's doing this thing where he's obviously got a putting
green at the back of his house and he is
standing in the front of his house on a little
astro turf thing and he's doing every day he's trying
to hit a hole in one over his house.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I've seen memes of people trying to do it and
then just caning it through their front window.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, this is the thing.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
The entire front of his house is glass too, and
so he for every day he's doing it, he gets
that many shots. So it's day fifteen today and he
took fifteen shots to try and get it spoiler alert
didn't get it. But every day, yeah, day one one shot,
day two to two shots. He's very close, like very
very close. And so he's standing in his driveway heads
(17:09):
it over his house and his mate standing up on
top of the roof film in the whole thing so
that he can see how.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Close he got. Yeah. Shit, he's getting close. It's like
the level of skill.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I mean, I'm not breaking any news here, but he's
a pretty good golfer, but just the level of it,
like to be able to head it over the house
of that smashing it would be, yeah, what I would
be aiming to do. But he knows he's about a
foot off. I'm actually gonna be a bit disappointed when
he finally does it, but gonna look up Bryson Dcembo.
It's a good fun little thing to watch. If you
(17:43):
can spell d chambo, I Billy could. And sticking with
social media, I saw a video this morning. You know,
over in the States they can gamble on just about anything,
so like they you know famously they'll gamble on the
color of the gatorade after a champion, the tip over
the coach. You could gamble on the elections over there
(18:04):
octually to mate who won a lot of money on
Donald Trump winning the twenty sixteen election. And one of
the places will take bets on basically things that happen
in the broadcast. So this morning I watched a video
of two dudes who won twenty five thousand dollars for
Kevin Durant's bald spot to appear on the broadcast. So
(18:28):
the videos of them, they're lining up for free throws,
he's just checked into the game. They're like yes, yes,
and then as he's walking in to you know, get
the rebound from the free throw, it's just right in
the middle of the screen, just kdi's bald spot. And
they had a twenty five thousand dollar bet. We need
to talk to the THEBA about this kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, that sounds right for corruption as well, if you're
going to mate who's working in the broadcast.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Because that would too like over unders on the length
that national anthem, right, like celebrity spottings and things like that.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I think that's something that the ACC could, you know,
if there was an ACC.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Shat our own sports pok which is ridiculously like someone
chugging a beer.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yes, yeah, match. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I don't think we thought big enough because through Super
Rugby we did have the ACC power play, which was
any jersey six or nine to score, which I thought
was quite good, very innovative, But we didn't think far enough,
you know, like if we had over under one and
a half butt cracks to be despite yes underpants or yeah,
underpants budgie smugglers. How many players are wearing you know,
(19:36):
full undies versus wife fronts. Yeah, I reckon that there's
a lucrative market that's being untapped there.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Butt cracks. Yeah, the over under on butt cracks.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Look, we have to I have a half baked sports
idea that I haven't I haven't done a half baked
sports idea in a while. So you got six minutes,
all right, let me take a break and then let
me come back and give you a half baked sports
idea in six minutes or less. Well, it has been
a long ti time since I've just out a half
back sports idea. But I was listening to a podcast today.
I don't follow NFL really or college sport, but I
(20:09):
do follow NBA, and so when I'm listening to NBA
basketball podcast, they'll often talk about college football balls mid
of tears. But they it's Thanksgiving today, I think actually
tomorrow in the States and over there, what they do
on Thanksgiving is a full day, a full slate of
college football games.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
So because everyone's off for.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
The day, you've adjusted you sorry, yeah, yeah, phone, You've
got to have his phone on. He's chasing charge his
whole life. His phone's upside down on the charge right now.
So yeah, so they have a full slate of games
on Thanksgiving, we should have that on White Tonguey Day
because super rugby is already fired up by the end.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, that's true. Why don't we have a full slate
all all the Kiwi Darby's.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
You revolve the entire calendar around the White Tonguey Day
derby basically what they were trying to do with.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Not Magic Ground. What are they?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
They one super round? Yeah, yeah that No one gives
a shit about that. They do it in Melbourne. Melbourne
don't even know that rugby's going on. It's bullshit.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Well it should be in Queens Town. We know that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
This is it, So White Tangy Day you have maybe
it's in the Bay of Islands, you know, you set
up a you set up a little pitt shit Russell. Yeah,
and you have White Togy Day and every all day
you're just watching rugby from sun up to sundown, a
carnival of festival of rugby.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Well at all the derby. So what's that three games?
Yeah yeah, and one of them smaller Pacifico. But yeah,
they play the Highland. It's just to make up numbers.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Yeah, so it's from a two thirty kick off, four
thirty kick off, seven thirty kickoff.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah yeah, that'll be even even early you get the
twelve thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I mean, I'm sure the players had hate that, but
you know we're sitting there, You're locked into your couch
from lunchtime to nine o'clock.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
They do to take advantage of public holidays more in
terms of just putting it on, because.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I remember we had a we had a public holiday
I might have been Queen's King's Birthday last year and.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
We're like, there's no games on and Rugby League had
you entire weekend we had hadn't been able to figure
it out. Well, everyone's you know, on holiday for the
for White Tongue Your Day. Let's make White Tongue You
Day great again.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Maki.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, that is in the middle of winter either
or I'm just saying, if I've got the day off,
I want a full slate of bloody rugby games to
shoot through.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's not not the worst idea of here. No halfway
sports ones, but that's not that bad.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It's the White Tongue Your Day do be the only
reason I picked White tongue because I was like, that's
our national national holiday. So yeah, it figure it out.

The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and claf Trap,
brought to you by Export a Vulture.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
And we are still in Crosshatch.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
We're coming to you live and direct from the Romata
Hotel across the road from Takaha Stadium or what will
be Ta Cars Stadium in a year or two time.
I'll tell you what the gun helpful leather over there
or that instructure.
Speaker 4 (00:30):
April twenty twenty six. That's what That's what our cap
driver told us. Yeah, but it looks from the outside
it looks like it should be ready sooner than that,
but obviously there's a lot going on.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
Yeah elsewhere.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
It's one of those stadiums that sort of looks a
little bit like Forsyth Bar, where it's like giant scaffolding
worth glad wrap around it and you're like, how long
could that take really?
Speaker 3 (00:52):
But they are they're over there guing health leathering. Impressive.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
This is not an ad for the Remata, but impressive
soundproofing here I can hear anything.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Because there is about a thousand people working on that
site right now. But yeah, well it helps that we're
on the other side of the building. A Test cricket
starts today.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
Oh my god, Happy cricket Christmas.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
So we're going to pop our cricket cherry eleven o'clock
this morning. The first Test match. We went and checked
out Hagley Oval.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yesterday. We had a good wander around.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
Had a heady yarn to your mate Bears, Yes, who
was out heading catcheres to Olli Pope, who is the
replacement keeper because the original keeper has broken his finger
or something, so Oli Pope and he's not a full
time keeper. So he was out there and Bears was
absolutely creaming balls at him.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Yeah, he was giving it to him. He was standing
in front of the hoarding. The bloody hoardings are pretty resilient,
I thought, because they were using that as their backstop,
and Bears was just blasting him, like obliterating him.
Speaker 3 (01:59):
And I saw what I described.
Speaker 1 (02:01):
Yesterday as my first ever professional loser circle.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Yes it was.
Speaker 4 (02:06):
I mean, look, the loser circle is you might know
as the warm up routine before a usually before a
social cricket match where everyone stands in a kind of
big arc and one person just hats catchers and it
is known as the loser circle. But this one was
you that you can't. I don't think you'd call it
a loser circle because pretty much there was a three
(02:26):
man slip cordon and a wicket keeper, a man standing
almost like on a mound, hiffing like a picture. Yeah,
bears on one knee, yes, and him just like cutting
everything into the slip cordon.
Speaker 1 (02:38):
He was getting like genuine edges. Yeah, that's on purpose,
the level of skill you have to have.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
To edge it on purpose. Also, he had no gloves on.
That was wild.
Speaker 4 (02:47):
So the guy's having a ball at him, a one
hundred k's and he's down on one knee just nicking
them to a professional loser circle.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yes, Well, I think what we found there is a loophole,
the loser circle loophole where if you stand in a
slip cord and it's no longer a loser circle, yes,
it is now a slip cordon and you're actually training,
it's not a loser circle.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Well.
Speaker 4 (03:08):
I also, I mean I wouldn't recommend that you suddenly
changed from a loser circle into this format of catching
because you really got to trust the thrower because you
got no helmet, You've got no nothing like I'd imagine
if we tried to do it as the acc eleven,
the first ball would be thrown at my head yeap, yes,
on purpose, and my nose would be splittered across my face.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
There be no edges. Yeah. It was good though to
get down there.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
We let to go a bit of a trojan horse
sort of a route to get into the ground.
Speaker 3 (03:38):
Because we got there and the securities like who the
hell are you guys?
Speaker 1 (03:40):
Yeah, we said, oh no, no, we just we know
a few people here, know Dave, Can you let me in?
Speaker 3 (03:45):
Yes? No, we lock down mate.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Then eventually someone actually did show up for New Zealand Cricket.
Speaker 3 (03:50):
It was like, what are you guys doing here? Oh no,
we come down to just come to look at the pitch.
I don't have a look at the pitch and he's
like oh yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:58):
So then so then we got they didn't and they
just so happened to be out there training. We had
a bit of a gas bag with the ground stuff
there as well. Yeah, worrying stuff. They've got detimo in
the pitch.
Speaker 4 (04:12):
Not Didimo, but they had they have a grub. That's
some sort of grub. Yeah, that's come from Scotland. It's
that they keep it bay by spraying it. We just
sprayed him down there and it drives him down. So
it's like the upside down. It's yeah, there's something's going
on under the ground that we don't know.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
So it's an organism.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
I thought it was some sort of bloody well like
I said, I thought it was dimo.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
No, no, no, it's a living organism. Okay, so they
got nuts.
Speaker 4 (04:39):
Basically, they got nuts, they got catoos oval they have
and the pitch is a classic Hagley start of the
season pitch.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
She's as green as the outfield. Yeah that's what the
that's what the ground stuff said. When we were talking
to them. What do you think it is?
Speaker 4 (04:56):
Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they said that they played a
plunk shield Northern District's Canterbury and on day one, three
hundred and fifty runs were scored in nine wickets were taken.
So I was like, yeah, okay, that's not not too bad.
So it's not not a total mindfield, no, but.
Speaker 1 (05:11):
It's I thought it was funny talking to them about
how they think about preparing because I've never talked to
a grounds person about that kind of thing before, and
like the stats that they want to sort of reduce,
and yeah, he was like, yeah, three and fifty rouns,
but there's also nine wickets and you could see his
eyes lighting up and he got that glow. It was
the same look that Gary steerdead in his eyes when
(05:31):
he was teaching me how to bowl leggies on the
floor of TV and Z. It was that, oh, this
is my thing. I love talking about this.
Speaker 4 (05:37):
Yeah, they had it real stiffy for it. So the
toss is going to be pretty important. I think whoever
wins the toss will definitely bowl, unless Bears he goes
for Bears and.
Speaker 3 (05:48):
Decides to bat.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
So but I don't, I don't know. I don't I
don't think he will. Yeah, their chance, their World Test
Championships chances are done. England they're out. They lost to
Pakis are two to one last series, so they're they're
they're mathematically impossible. So they've got they've got you know,
they've got the freedom. We have got the pressure. We
have to win all three of these games first time
(06:12):
for a while. No Anderson and no broad No, No,
Jimmy Anderson.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
I thought he'd retire.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
So it's the bowling intake is led by Chris Wokes
Murder Murder she Wokes and then Gus Atkinson Brighton cass
Is show him the spinner. So it's all kind of
unknowns to us. Yeah, you must have checked Brayton or
in Brighton, Brighton cass So yeah, so it's kind of
(06:37):
an all new bowling lineup that we're gonna we're going
to see here. By all accounts, gust consent as a
pretty as pretty rapid, right, so that's going to be
And seeing they've got Jacob Bethel number three, he's on debut,
I was gonna say, doesn't ring a bell left left
hander at first time betting at number three as well,
So it's a bit but there's a bit going on. Obviously,
(06:58):
Nathan Smith will be making his debut for New Zealand
as part of the Saudi O'Rourke and Matt Henry combo,
so there's a little bit going on for that England team.
It's gonna be a fascinating first day, yes, because I
just don't know how to how to pick up. I mean,
obviously we've got the confidence from India. Yeah, they got
(07:19):
a fairly kind of fresh team. But they'll be coming
with the BBC, the McCallum with the Bears BDC.
Speaker 3 (07:26):
Yeah, maybe they. Who's Sir Jeffrey Boycott.
Speaker 4 (07:30):
Jeffrey boy He is an old Yorkshire cricketer, used to
play for England. He's the dry ass guy who on
all the commentaries.
Speaker 1 (07:39):
So he's written an article this week saying that what
New Zealand should do because we just beat India in
India three nil. They just lost to who Pakistan two one,
two to one, both in dust bowls. He said, if
we had any balls, we'd prepare a dust bowl here
in New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (07:53):
Well that's what I mentioned.
Speaker 4 (07:54):
You said, it's like Justice one dust bowl. Yeah, well
for the start and Wellington's my basin, Rezis was my ground.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Yeah, well he said we don't have the stones to
do it. Fucking Boycott.
Speaker 4 (08:04):
So Boycott was notoriously slow. He was notoriously known as
the world's slowest and most boring batsman. People would run
him out just to get rid of him, like his
own team. His own team would run him out because
he was so dull.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Yeah right, that's like when Chris k occupied the crest
for all twenty overs of Trade's eleven yea, and yeah
he scored twenty something himself, but it was directly the
reason we lost him.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
It wasn't the catchers, it was him holding up an
end to the T twenty. It's not what you do.
He set up the brick wall. He's like, I did.
We're like, yeah, thanks mate, you did.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, No, I just I reckon we should do it
as well. But I don't understand why we don't do
more of It's so much more fun bowling spin watching
spin bowlers. Yeah, but we just go green zeema.
Speaker 2 (08:50):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (08:51):
Yeah, I don't know. What what do you do to Pip?
I mean, maybe ask kJ Maybe we'll give him a call.
How do you prepare a dust bowl? Do you just
burn the grass off? Is it the type of clay
that you use? Is it? How do you do you
just fucking roll the ship out of it until nothing
can live on it? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:07):
You'd have to get the deimo out of it first. Yeah,
issue didn't get the cartoos out.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:13):
I think Wellington is the one. I don't know why
it's got the vibe. Hamilton potentially could turn into it.
You could turn that into a dustball.
Speaker 1 (09:20):
Well, yeah, what happened last year when all of a
sudden the spinners looked incredible, that was because it was bouncing.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
Yeah, something happened last season where it was remember we
misread this African Test and it was turning on day one.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
Yeah, we dropped no spinner. We had no spinners. That
were like fuck Glenn and you can turn it on
this It's like oh yeah, oh yeah, yeah, no, there was.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
That's great. There should be more of that. Have we
heard anything about the Barbie Army that in town? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (09:47):
They.
Speaker 4 (09:48):
I don't think I've got a big traveling party, but
all the Expats come out of the cracks. H they
like come out of the sewers whenever England tour and
they all gathered together and sing their sing their songs and.
Speaker 3 (09:58):
Yeah whatever cross Roads is very English town as well.
Speaker 4 (10:01):
Yeah, there'll be there'll be a lot of them and
they will sing every Yeah, that's good. It shows the
Yonders and we're just so rubbish it doing any of
that kind of thing.
Speaker 3 (10:10):
Yeah we are.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Five memories have been a kid at Bloody Jade Stadium
at Lancaster Park and you know the barmie Army is
there and they're going crazy.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
They are very song focused.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
Yes, the Barmie Army and English sports fans in general,
the football fans, the cricket fans will be. They're saying
swing law Stweech area.
Speaker 4 (10:27):
In the early days, that are one of their greatest chances.
When when you can get three dollars to the pound,
and then that's saying we've got one dollar.
Speaker 3 (10:35):
To the pound, we've got two dollars to the pound,
we've got three. Yeah. I love a good financial about
coming over here. Just yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
I remember going to a game where I actually watched
Shane Warn play one time, and these dudes up behind me.
They went to the Barmi Army obviously, but they were
just yelling who ate all the pies the entire game,
who ate all the pies? And I just as a
like ten year old kid, I was like, this is
the greatest day of my life. You ate all the pies?
You're allowed to abuse so much? Yeah, what are your fair? Past?
(11:13):
Me and my dad up there just giving it to him.
That's powerful. Just while we're talking cricket as well, and
before we take a quick break, we did. I just
realized this morning we actually didn't touch on it at all.
But the IPL auction was over the weekend, a slave auction.
The slave auction. I hate the way that they say
that they were sold.
Speaker 3 (11:31):
Yeah, it's the slave auction that was held in Reed.
Oh I don't know it was in Saudi Arabia.
Speaker 4 (11:36):
Any Yeah, but only really from Lovely twenty for New Zealand,
I think. But he got paid to lat On a
bit million now when he that goes straight to him, right, yeah,
it does.
Speaker 3 (11:49):
A part of it goes to New Zealand, not.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
For him, no, because he doesn't have the central contract,
so they wouldn't get a cut of it.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
He doesn't.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
That's it's it's really convoluted about how they pay them
as well. You've got to play every game, right if
you're available to every game. It's different from if you
play every game, and it's kind of kind of pro
rata to that. So if you don't have the maximum, so.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
If you just don't get picked but you're healthy, you
don't get paid.
Speaker 4 (12:15):
You get paid not the full whack. Yeah, right, and
then you got Rishian part went for five million.
Speaker 3 (12:21):
That doesn't pass the sniff test.
Speaker 4 (12:23):
Yeah, they love him though, they love they love him.
He's the every day's hero. He's a little bit chubby.
He keeps and he's smecks the ball.
Speaker 1 (12:31):
Like I said, I saw them warming up and we
were playing against him and he did a bloody handspring.
Speaker 3 (12:36):
I was like, what the fuck is that? This ud?
Looks like meat?
Speaker 4 (12:40):
Yeah, well he's got for six weeks work, he's got
five got a million bucks a week.
Speaker 3 (12:43):
Yeah, that is that is ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (12:45):
I saw that Mitchell, Darrel Mitchell didn't go and I
was like, that's confusing because I remember he got the
bag last year.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
Yeah, because Conway. Conway's been selected along with Ravendra. Yes,
they're the only ones in the first round.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Yeah, but Mitchell missed out and I found out that
he actually had a reserve price of about four hundred
and something.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
K oh, we have a limited space remaining on the podcast.
Set up the memory card. This could be a short podcast.
Speaker 1 (13:14):
No, but well he had a reserve of four hundred
and sixty cable, which I don't know. I don't understand
how that's sit but that he just missed out on
money because of that reserve.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
The reserve too high.
Speaker 4 (13:24):
Yeah, yeah, well Ben Stokes has sit them out completely.
He's pulled himself out of the auction. He's going to
concentrate and playing for bears.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
He's decided he's got enough money. Yeah, that's ridiculous. And
Dave good news though, David, dam dumm. He also got
left off. Oh thank god. Yeah, he didn't get packed either.
Speaker 1 (13:40):
I'd actually probably rather he did get picked than then
this list of him in the commentary.
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yeah true, actually, yeah, all right, let us take a break.
Speaker 1 (13:48):
We're going to check the equipment here, make sure it
doesn't fail us, and then they will be right back.
All right, Well, we don't know how long this podcast
is going to go for, because we've just received a
warning on our remote recorder that it's got limited space.
Didn't tell us how much space it's got left. No,
there is a number on there.
Speaker 3 (14:06):
This is fourteen.
Speaker 1 (14:07):
Now, that could mean that we've got fourteen minutes left,
but we've also been recording for fourteen so well.
Speaker 4 (14:11):
Yeah, Look, it's like when Petrolt comes on in the car.
You don't know exactly how far you can go. Some
say eighty ks, some say fifty, some say twenty.
Speaker 1 (14:18):
Yeah, we don't have the range on here, so we're
just going to ride this thing into the Rocks. Joe
Juria's had to go back early. He would know how
to fix this. But he is in Auckland setting up
for the commentary, which is everywhere we go and everyone
that we've seen since we've been down here in christ
it just said the exact same thing.
Speaker 3 (14:32):
Oh, he goes down for the cricket. Wow, funnily enough. No, no,
we'll be back up.
Speaker 1 (14:37):
We will be back up in Auckland to commentate the
game that's going on just down the road from where
we are right now. Some other stories in the sporting world,
Joseph park has just announced a new fight. He's going
to fight d Boys Dubois du Bois, who is the
guy who just knocked out Anthony Joshua. Yeah, yes, Anthony Joshua.
(14:58):
He's going to fight him in Saudi twenty twenty two
for the IBF title. Which is great news for Joseph
Parker because he had I believe a contract or some
sort of agreement in place for the for one of
the fights in December that he was going to be
on the card and then for whatever reason, they announced
the card and he saw he wasn't on it. So
(15:18):
he's like, oh, they've they've bloody slocked me. I've turned
my microphone on and my notes ap, it's just written
down everything. I just said, what the hell? So yeah,
so Saudi again, Saudi again. That's where it's all happening. Now,
all happens in Saudi, all of the boxing. I'm fine
with it. Like I said, for the longest time, I've
been saying, we should just have one place and everyone
(15:38):
does all of this sport there and it's happening, and
it's the Middle East, if youah.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
The only problem is, I mean, the Middle East is fine. Sadi.
Speaker 4 (15:45):
Saudi's a little bit tougher to have a good time,
and yeah, you know, it's not quite as loose as
Dubai or even Abdhabi.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
Yeah, so yeah, I don't know if all of.
Speaker 4 (15:54):
It needs to be played in Saudi unless they create
a little principality where you can actually.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Get past them. Yes, I feel like they'd be open
to that. Yeah, they probably would.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
They don't mind letting the wistern pigs just roll around
in their shit if they want to, you know, as
long as they're not doing they'll let.
Speaker 3 (16:08):
You just sort of go on go and do your
thing over the Western pegs rolling around in this shit. No.
Speaker 1 (16:15):
Yeah, so that's good news for Joseph Parker. I'm pretty
excited about that. To the social media disc do you
follow Bryson dis Chambeau on Instagram?
Speaker 3 (16:23):
No? I don't. Well, he's worth a follow at the moment.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
He's doing this thing where he's obviously got a putting
green at the back of his house and he is
standing in the front of his house on a little
astro turf thing and he's doing every day he's trying
to hit a hole in one over his house.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
I've seen memes of people trying to do it and
then just caning it through their front window.
Speaker 3 (16:47):
Well, this is the thing.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
The entire front of his house is glass too, and
so he for every day he's doing it, he gets
that many shots. So it's day fifteen today and he
took fifteen shots to try and get it spoiler alert
didn't get it. But every day, yeah, day one one shot,
day two to two shots. He's very close, like very
very close. And so he's standing in his driveway heads
(17:09):
it over his house and his mate standing up on
top of the roof film in the whole thing so
that he can see how.
Speaker 3 (17:15):
Close he got. Yeah. Shit, he's getting close. It's like
the level of skill.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
I mean, I'm not breaking any news here, but he's
a pretty good golfer, but just the level of it,
like to be able to head it over the house
of that smashing it would be, yeah, what I would
be aiming to do. But he knows he's about a
foot off. I'm actually gonna be a bit disappointed when
he finally does it, but gonna look up Bryson Dcembo.
It's a good fun little thing to watch. If you
(17:43):
can spell d chambo, I Billy could. And sticking with
social media, I saw a video this morning. You know,
over in the States they can gamble on just about anything,
so like they you know famously they'll gamble on the
color of the gatorade after a champion, the tip over
the coach. You could gamble on the elections over there
(18:04):
octually to mate who won a lot of money on
Donald Trump winning the twenty sixteen election. And one of
the places will take bets on basically things that happen
in the broadcast. So this morning I watched a video
of two dudes who won twenty five thousand dollars for
Kevin Durant's bald spot to appear on the broadcast. So
(18:28):
the videos of them, they're lining up for free throws,
he's just checked into the game. They're like yes, yes,
and then as he's walking in to you know, get
the rebound from the free throw, it's just right in
the middle of the screen, just kdi's bald spot. And
they had a twenty five thousand dollar bet. We need
to talk to the THEBA about this kind of stuff.
Speaker 4 (18:49):
Yeah, that sounds right for corruption as well, if you're
going to mate who's working in the broadcast.
Speaker 1 (18:57):
Because that would too like over unders on the length
that national anthem, right, like celebrity spottings and things like that.
Speaker 3 (19:04):
I think that's something that the ACC could, you know,
if there was an ACC.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
Shat our own sports pok which is ridiculously like someone
chugging a beer.
Speaker 3 (19:12):
Yes, yeah, match. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:13):
I don't think we thought big enough because through Super
Rugby we did have the ACC power play, which was
any jersey six or nine to score, which I thought
was quite good, very innovative, But we didn't think far enough,
you know, like if we had over under one and
a half butt cracks to be despite yes underpants or yeah,
underpants budgie smugglers. How many players are wearing you know,
(19:36):
full undies versus wife fronts. Yeah, I reckon that there's
a lucrative market that's being untapped there.
Speaker 3 (19:41):
Butt cracks. Yeah, the over under on butt cracks.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Look, we have to I have a half baked sports
idea that I haven't I haven't done a half baked
sports idea in a while. So you got six minutes,
all right, let me take a break and then let
me come back and give you a half baked sports
idea in six minutes or less. Well, it has been
a long ti time since I've just out a half
back sports idea. But I was listening to a podcast today.
I don't follow NFL really or college sport, but I
(20:09):
do follow NBA, and so when I'm listening to NBA
basketball podcast, they'll often talk about college football balls mid
of tears. But they it's Thanksgiving today, I think actually
tomorrow in the States and over there, what they do
on Thanksgiving is a full day, a full slate of
college football games.
Speaker 3 (20:25):
So because everyone's off for.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
The day, you've adjusted you sorry, yeah, yeah, phone, You've
got to have his phone on. He's chasing charge his
whole life. His phone's upside down on the charge right now.
So yeah, so they have a full slate of games
on Thanksgiving, we should have that on White Tonguey Day
because super rugby is already fired up by the end.
Speaker 3 (20:47):
Yeah, that's true. Why don't we have a full slate
all all the Kiwi Darby's.
Speaker 1 (20:52):
You revolve the entire calendar around the White Tonguey Day
derby basically what they were trying to do with.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
Not Magic Ground. What are they?
Speaker 1 (21:00):
They one super round? Yeah, yeah that No one gives
a shit about that. They do it in Melbourne. Melbourne
don't even know that rugby's going on. It's bullshit.
Speaker 3 (21:07):
Well it should be in Queens Town. We know that.
Speaker 1 (21:09):
This is it, So White Tangy Day you have maybe
it's in the Bay of Islands, you know, you set
up a you set up a little pitt shit Russell. Yeah,
and you have White Togy Day and every all day
you're just watching rugby from sun up to sundown, a
carnival of festival of rugby.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
Well at all the derby. So what's that three games?
Yeah yeah, and one of them smaller Pacifico. But yeah,
they play the Highland. It's just to make up numbers.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
Yeah, so it's from a two thirty kick off, four
thirty kick off, seven thirty kickoff.
Speaker 3 (21:40):
Yeah yeah, that'll be even even early you get the
twelve thirty.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I mean, I'm sure the players had hate that, but
you know we're sitting there, You're locked into your couch
from lunchtime to nine o'clock.
Speaker 4 (21:50):
They do to take advantage of public holidays more in
terms of just putting it on, because.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
I remember we had a we had a public holiday
I might have been Queen's King's Birthday last year and.
Speaker 1 (22:01):
We're like, there's no games on and Rugby League had
you entire weekend we had hadn't been able to figure
it out. Well, everyone's you know, on holiday for the
for White Tongue Your Day. Let's make White Tongue You
Day great again.
Speaker 3 (22:15):
Maki.
Speaker 1 (22:16):
Yeah, yeah, that is in the middle of winter either
or I'm just saying, if I've got the day off,
I want a full slate of bloody rugby games to
shoot through.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's not not the worst idea of here. No halfway
sports ones, but that's not that bad.
Speaker 1 (22:29):
It's the White Tongue Your Day do be the only
reason I picked White tongue because I was like, that's
our national national holiday. So yeah, it figure it out.
