Life an Export Beer Guns Studio and brought to you
by Export Ultra the beer for here. This is the
Agenda Podcast for halfway through August the fifteenth.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Export of.
Speaker 1 (00:15):
Vulture and a reminder that we are on YouTube. You
can go and watch this. Oh look, some people just
don't believe that they're deserving of happiness and they like
to punish themselves on purpose. If you're want of those people,
go and watch it. You can look at us talking
while you're listening to it.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
Well, I mean it's said, Well, I mean we jest,
but can watch me at just my mic standard. Overseas
a massive amount of podcasts consumed.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
Via YouTube, I think in these seas as well. And
in fact, when I was in Bali.
Speaker 4 (00:48):
I went to Bali earlier this year and if you
heard about it, did not buy these shoes.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
There.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
We were in a taxi uber or whatever there and
the guy asked, Chris Key was in the back seats list.
Speaker 4 (00:59):
What do you do work? He goes, I'm on the radio,
and he goes, can you still excess the radio? In
New Zealand?
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Well, what do you mean he goes only YouTube here
because data is so cheap. I think that's the big
thing holding us back here. I was on the back
of a dude on a scooter. He was watching YouTube
videos while he's driving me a million other dudes on scooters.
I was like, could you just pause that until I
get off? He's fine, alight, paused it? No, No, the negotiation,
yeah no, it did not go well.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (01:25):
He's like, it's okay, it's okay. I was like, it's
really stressing me out. Are you giving him the full
hug as well? You're on the back of his like
like leaning like dumb and dumber?
Speaker 4 (01:34):
The first day I did.
Speaker 1 (01:35):
The first day I did, but then after that, like
after two or three of them, I was sitting on
the back one and holding on filming myself shut.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
Off, looking for a BALI rash.
Speaker 1 (01:44):
Yeah, full fucking you know, fake Louis Vuitton's and the
whole the hold get up. I have an office crime
to report. Someone's been stealing my butter and I've known
this for a while. It's been drinking and this morning
Ellen and Lawrence saw who stole it, and so I
think my only recourse is I'm going to have to
(02:04):
put meth in my butter.
Speaker 3 (02:06):
I think that's the only form of recourses.
Speaker 1 (02:08):
Yeah, I think they're going to have to put three
hundred times the average dotus of myth into my butter
and then just put it back in the fridge and
leave it there.
Speaker 3 (02:16):
Just to touch on the meth lolly scandal has taken
off now yesterday in the media they then put out
how much each lolly's worth on the street one thousand dollars.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
Thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
Now, these lollies have been distributed to people who have
picked up food parcels or but been delivered food parcels
by the Auckland City Mission. These are people that are
pretty hard up. You're coming across these lollies. They're asking
that you wring healthline and then they'll ring the police
and they'll come and get it, or or the other option,
which will be in plain sight for most of those people.
(02:53):
As I've got five grand in my food bag right now,
I'm selling these lollies.
Speaker 1 (02:58):
It's a five thousand dollars suit correct from the deer's.
Speaker 3 (03:03):
It's like they shouldn't have put it's worth.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
They should just completely worthless because of the way it's
wrapped sugar.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
Lately, and they put a value on it, and now
there is it's like a gold rush for these lollies
to try and get your hands on them.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
It's a lollly scramble.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
It's a myth lolly scram.
Speaker 1 (03:19):
It's the central myth lolly scramble of twenty twenty four.
There's no way anyone's going to be handing that shit.
Speaker 3 (03:24):
No way they are. They're saying they could be over
four hundred packages. He's like six or seven people have
come and said they taste a bit odd. The rest
of the going with's that fucking food bag.
Speaker 1 (03:33):
Yeah, someone's going around everyone they know that's picked up
one of them.
Speaker 3 (03:37):
All they've sped them out and they're going through their
rubbish right now. Yeah, because I've gone, I can imagine
it would taste fucking discussion.
Speaker 4 (03:44):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
Almost every report that's that's come through and said someone
like a kid you had run and sped it out
straight away, It's like, what the fuck is that?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
That's not a lolly?
Speaker 1 (03:52):
And then that's when they And also I saw one
report it's this poor woman who was just like she
was like a recovering myth addict, and I can imagine
that you just you recurrent trying to get your life
back on track.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
Soone's like, here's a lolling for it?
Speaker 1 (04:04):
You like, for fuck's sake, you're kidding me? Yeah, I
love the meth lolly scramble. Anyway, I need to get
hold of some of those lollies and melt them down,
put them in my butter so that the bloke who
so that the bloke who has been stealing my butter
can find out the hard way. I think I won't
put three hundred times their regular dose. I'll probably just
put like a normal dose.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
Is it a block of butter or are you talking
like an Oliviano tub blocker butter.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
That's how I knew people were using it, because it's,
you know, in the wee foil situation. So the foil
I showed up one day, fo was just barged. Someone's
been in here.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
Look.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I understand there's an element of risk when you put
your food in a communal fruit, but I would never
steal someone's butter like that.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
How about you seek revenge by transferring that butter into
a tub, a bigger tub. First of all, just lad
two in the bottom of the top and then carefully
spread your butter on the top, and then.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
And they put it back in there.
Speaker 3 (04:59):
And then the thie full jag in for his last bet,
and he will come up with her.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, I don't mind that you might.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
When I was at boarding school, there was a story
going around that the seventh formers, years before I was there,
started homebrewing beer so that they could drink, you know,
at the hostel. And whoever the you know, the matrons
are running the hostel, they found it. They didn't tell anyone.
They just went and put what's called it makes you
do puzzle laxatives in the thing. And then every kid
(05:24):
over the next two days who showed up crook, shouldn't
themselves silly, like, come a met we know you've been
brewing the beer.
Speaker 3 (05:31):
That's a good long con from those matrons.
Speaker 4 (05:34):
Oh yeah, I know.
Speaker 3 (05:35):
It's great.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
Boarding schools basically like prison. You've got no time.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
You've got so much time to do nothing but sit
there and think of dumb shit to do.
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Correct, We used to do fuck the bucket.
Speaker 4 (05:44):
What's fuck the bucket?
Speaker 3 (05:45):
You had to get climb on top of the bucket
and pretend to fuck it.
Speaker 1 (05:48):
Okay, that's one of those things, you know, and how
did anyone win in that situation?
Speaker 3 (05:53):
It was more it was artistic flair. It was a
bit like rhythm rhythmic gymnastics.
Speaker 4 (05:57):
It was kind of back dancing.
Speaker 3 (05:59):
It was it was like but the bucket in the
middle and you know, you've got to make the.
Speaker 1 (06:02):
Noises and then the judges are like and the judge
from Hamilton ten correct, like the dunk contest. Yeah, yeah,
I like it as an actual sport. The gut in
the boat returned yesterday. It was a big you know,
we're talking like we don't feell stadiums for our athletes.
Speaker 4 (06:17):
I don't think they'd like that. But there was a
bit of like a you know, bit of a to
do when they landed.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Yeah, and that the at the airport there and the
goat in the boat was asked whether she is going
to commit to twenty twenty eight or not, and she
said she's still not sure, which, you know, to me
leaves the door open. I think if I was her, like,
if it was next year, she'd probably be keen to
do it. But I think it's like four years of training.
Speaker 4 (06:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
She did say that that three year cycle was a
bit different because remember Tokyo was the labor a year.
Oh yeah, so it's only been three years between Tokyo
and Paris. Easier or harder, easier, a little bit easier
because they're closer together. And that's why she said this
is completely different, you know. But she's so far ahead
of her competition. It's one of those things, are you like,
(07:03):
do you do it and when another one? Or do
you do you do it and miss out? You know? Yeah,
I should have called it back in Paris. It's a
tough one. But she's so far ahead and she's such
a phenomenal specimen that it would be a shame for
her to move to coaching or anything, and especially and
she's she's pretty much in her prime still. She's what
thirty five, I think, yeah, she'll be thirty nine when
(07:25):
you hit hit La.
Speaker 1 (07:27):
How good we lab though Emma talks thirty seven. She's
still destroying people in those boats. I reckon she could
do it. It's just going to be whether she can
be buggered for the next four years. So I thought, well,
could we have a whip round, like as a country,
do you think it's money?
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Though?
Speaker 3 (07:40):
I don't think it's I don't know if it's money.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Oh well, I don't think it's money right now. But
what I'm saying is, if we had a whip around,
here's your incentive. Here's four million, five million dollars a year. Yeah,
we're each going to give you a dollar a year.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I'll tell you what. Just call lott of off on Saturday,
give it a lot of Oh my god, yes, call
the lot O. Give her all the lot of give
her the winnings, and then we'll just do another on Wednesday.
Speaker 1 (08:00):
Yeah, I think with all a great and we'll start
again on Wednesday. He go, you've won lotto. Would you
look at that? Imagine if that was it. Like you
know how they talk about NRL teams where you you're
negotiating your deal and they're like, we can only pay
you this, but here's twenty dollars. Go put it in
that pokem machine over there, and then like one hundred
thousand dollars falls out of it.
Speaker 4 (08:17):
Imagine if like New Zealand doesn't.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Pay its athletes for gold medals, but boy have a
high percentage then one lotter when they got back. It's
almost every single one of them, week after week, week.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
After the week for ten weeks.
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Stra I can fin butcher ones next week.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Can you believe it? All four of the men's canoeing team, well,
what was it? The rowing team? Kayakers have one?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
Yeah, so can you fucking believe it?
Speaker 1 (08:42):
That's a much better idea than the idea that I had,
which was Fukasani original goat Tex. So it's a percentage
of your income if you live in the Fukasni region
goes to the goat.
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Oh that's unfair that because she lives in the north Shore.
Oh might have to be a north Shore.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Tex north Shore regional go Tex. I think whereever she lives,
there's a tax. I think you're going to be happy
to pay it. She can't have a percentage of mind.
They like poop pokey text.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That's which because he trains on poop poockky oh right
a poonit yep?
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Okay, Well yeah, the poop priginal goat tax and you
get like a certain percentage of your pay goes to
her every year. I wouldn't be against that, but I
do like the lotto.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
Yeah, just so he's simpler, Just no one buy a ticket,
Just give her the winning numbers.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
We're all in on it. We wouldn't even have to.
Speaker 1 (09:24):
Well, you just all have to come together as a
country and be like, none of us are buying a
lotto ticket, Lisa, it's all yours. Get down the diary,
buy yourself a lot of ticket. I have a hunch
I think you're gonna win. I think that's a great idea.
I'm speaking of Olympic money. You've done a bit of
a deep dive, we have. And I'll quote you an
Olympic money report that will shock you to the core.
Speaker 3 (09:45):
Yeah, I don't think I'll shock you to the core.
But Heath Mells, and he's on Cricket Players Association president,
has weighed in and I'll explain why he's weighed in
and when a cricket from a cricket perspective, but he's
obviously a beg advocate for players' rights, you know, when
comes to professional athletes and getting their slices of the pie.
And he's written a great article on the Bounce. He's
(10:05):
become a guest right contributor on the Bounce, and it's
pretty it's pretty damning actually, And you can you're always
kind of new in the back of your mind that
things stink a little bit at the IOC. It's a
bit like FIFA, you know what I mean. There's an
organization that are making a lot of money off athletes,
and athletes aren't getting anything.
Speaker 4 (10:22):
Oh it's the biggest, Yeah, And.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Everyone kind of washes over that because they love the Olympics,
because oh my god, that's a celebration of you know,
athletes and world peace and fucking all that bullshit. So
every Olympic cycle they said that this one especially that
the Olympic IOC make seven point six billion US Okay,
so that's about fifteen billion New Zealand dollars, you know,
(10:46):
and that's for all the commercial revenue they get from
sponsors and world cast rights, everything like that. And as
you probably know, if you don't know, the athletes get zero,
absolutely zero. When you talk about athletes getting from Australia
getting one hundred fift thousand dollars if they win gold
or whatever it is that comes from the government. That
comes from the taxpayers, that is not from the IOC.
(11:08):
The host city. All that cost sits with your rate
payers of that city. So the Parisians will be paying.
Speaker 4 (11:13):
Back that the two billions to clean the sin, correct
clean the sin.
Speaker 3 (11:17):
They're paying that back over the next fifty years or whatever,
IOC pick up zero of that bill. And they always
talk about the spirit of the games and the spirit
of the sport and all that bullshit, and it they
don't actually pay a cent. So it's quite it's an
interesting model, which he argues here he says, if Love
(11:37):
Island could be turned into an international competition, the IOC
would include it because that's their motivation for introducing everything.
Introduce skateboarding, not for a new audience, for new revenue.
It's a new revenue opportunity.
Speaker 4 (11:53):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
So that's why they've been breakdownce because no one's going
to watch that shit at the next one.
Speaker 4 (11:57):
Yeah. Correct.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
And so basically he was saying, in what other industry're
sector would get away with asking people to work for
two weeks, sell the fruits of their labor, and not
get paid a cent radio it would be the other
one that I agree with this If they're truly into
the spirit of the sport and don't pay the athletes,
(12:18):
then don't commercialize it and offer the rights the TV
rights for free to every national broadcaster in the world
and watch the interest in those sports go through the roof.
Speaker 4 (12:27):
But they don't obviously, because they can't clip the ticket
on there.
Speaker 3 (12:30):
They want the money, or at least.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
The athletes get sponsored.
Speaker 3 (12:33):
Yeah, well, I mean come out and sponsored.
Speaker 1 (12:37):
Did you see nonsense rupt but definitely to interrupt. Did
you see the guy athletes that were wearing full black kit?
Speaker 4 (12:43):
So there was It's like a brand.
Speaker 1 (12:46):
So if you're an athlete and you don't get a
sponsorship from Essex or whatever, you often have to wear
their shit anyway because it's the best gear. And so
if you win a medal, you're basically giving them free
promotion for nothing. So this brand said, we'll bug at that.
If you don't get sponsored, will sponsor you, will pay
you bug all. We'll pay you a little bit though,
and you can just wear a non branded kit, which
is also an advertisement for hey, I don't have a sponsor.
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Yeah, so if I win this, sponsor me. It's like
a cricket cricketers without the stickers on their back exactly like, hey,
I need a sponsor. But there was an Australian survey
by the Sports Foundation. They found that forty six percent
of athletes survived off less than fifteen thousand dollars a year.
Jesus and forty two percent obviously suffered poor mental health
due to the financial difficulties. And then you've got the
(13:28):
IOC fat cats and this will this will piss you off.
So IAC members they travel first class to all the events,
they go to Paris first class, they stand five star hotels.
They get nine hundred US a day per diems. That's
just to spend on, you know, fifteen hundred whatever they want.
Now by the end of the Olympics. That means that
they are not for doing absolutely nothing except just going
(13:51):
to events, get paid more than a US athlete for
winning bronze at the Olympics, which is fifteen thousand US.
Speaker 4 (13:57):
Thank it.
Speaker 1 (13:57):
But yeah, by the way, and that's the US government
paying the International Olympic Think a boy an iPhone a
day with their per dams.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
I know, it's crazy. And and then I mean, and
this is why Heath Mills has wayd into this debate,
because cricket has been included in the LA Games. And
there's only one reason cricket has been included in.
Speaker 4 (14:15):
That, so that India can win to go medal.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
That too, but the amount of obviously it's they looked
at how much money there is in India Yeah, by
then putting it there and the broadcast rights they can
sell from there, and are any of the cricket is
going to get any money? Are any of the association
is going to get any money out of the bag
of that fucking zero? So that's why he's saying that,
you know, is it good for the game? He's like probably, No,
(14:39):
he's saying no, like that. They said it's additional exposure.
So I don't think that model has worked in any sport,
professional sport anyway. Have you seen soccer? You've seen football
explode due to being in the Olympics.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
No, I haven't jumped in a kayak, despite crying every
time Lisa does.
Speaker 3 (14:55):
Anyway that Yeah, I thought that just opened that up.
Now we'll have finished that now the after glow's gone
on the Olympics. Yeah, it's like I'm trying to understand
where all that money actually goes.
Speaker 4 (15:04):
Oh, it's the biggest like scam.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
And they're like, oh, it's really really good for you,
Like yeah, and we love it and it is great
advertisement for each back countries.
Speaker 4 (15:12):
But you're right, so it's not.
Speaker 1 (15:14):
But it is a great equalizer because all of the
communist countries get to dominate at sports that no one watches. True,
your weightliftings and your wrestlings and things like that, because
all the Western countries, the only sports that work for
us are the ones that people watch.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
That's why we kick as at them.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Here's a question for you, who will the West Indies
compete at cricket at the Olympics or will Dominica and
Saint Lucia and all those dudes have to compete?
Speaker 3 (15:38):
Great question because the debate now is do England and
Scotland combine to play as Great Britain and because they
plays Great Britain but in cricket they're all separate. There
is English it might.
Speaker 4 (15:51):
As well be Great Britain though, because like.
Speaker 3 (15:53):
They're not going to know any Scottish players going to
get there. Yeah, because the England team, believe it or not,
is England and Wales, so it's the d and Welsh board.
So not many people know that because when we were
in England and you're at the games and they're singing
away and they're like Ingerland and we had a crowd.
We had about thirty of us and at the end
of it they get Angerland and we're all stand up
(16:14):
and go and Wales.
Speaker 4 (16:16):
I haven't no idea.
Speaker 3 (16:18):
Yes, so there you go. Oh look there is the
IOC do make like these sports grant payments to countries,
but it's pretty fucking token. It's like compared to the
revenue that comes in. It's all just about the coin.
But I'm just running where the coin goes because these
athletes come. Some of the biggest athletes in the world.
Lebron James get a cent from going to Paris. They've
(16:39):
got an ill fitting suit and a gold medal. Yeah, sure,
pair of pants, Scotti Scheffler same.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Like that is a good point.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I know they play for pride and they cry when
they get the medal and shit like that, but you know,
you represent your country. But yeah, at the end of
the day, someone's rinsing you.
Speaker 1 (16:53):
This is why I always say that, like if you're
if your medalists are teenagers, it's because your sport's not
in a good place. Because the only reason it's only
teenagers is because once you turn eighteen nineteen twenty, you're
gotta start making money.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
And if you're only making.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
Fifteen grand, we are you gonna go and hit the
oil rig? You know you're not going to keep skateboarding.
You're not going to keep break dancing. And that's why
it's kids that are wall climbing all these new sports,
all of the medalists like fourteen people.
Speaker 4 (17:17):
Isn't it incredible?
Speaker 5 (17:18):
Is that?
Speaker 4 (17:18):
No, it's because no one's making any money off this shit,
So you know you're not.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
You tell Lebron could jump just about halfway up that
fucking wall, telling me he couldn't.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
Meet the other dude.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
Controversially at netball last night at the North Coat netball courts,
thousands of thousands of young girls all playing netball, and
I controversially it was the under tens I was watching
and I just kind of under my breath went, fuck,
she just play basket, was way more money in it.
One of the mum's got a little bit.
Speaker 4 (17:48):
What did you say?
Speaker 3 (17:48):
I said, I mean, if they played basketball, is probably
a better future for them, if you know what I mean? Now, Like, no,
I don't know what you mean.
Speaker 4 (17:57):
I don't know if at the courts are out of
by that.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
Bullers was especially nipple administrators a multi terrifying and very
officious there. They've got people on duty with clipboards going
around and you know, I had to stand on the
right side of the court. I found this out the
hard way. Don't stand, don't even fucking think about standing
behind the goalpost. Don't even think about it when I
see don't even think about it. And do not walk
(18:22):
with your umbrella and touch it on the court. Okay,
if you're bringing your umbrella, don't fucking do that. I
don't know. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (18:29):
Didn't the court.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
I don't know, because I got reprimanded twice in about
ten minutes. And that's when another dad came over and
he saw me, and he saw what was going on,
and he came over and he goes he grabbed me
by the shoulders. He went, don't fight it, man. He's like,
it's actually I know, I know what you're thinking, and
I know what you want to do, but don't.
Speaker 1 (18:50):
He was like, he's like six months down the track
from where you were just then.
Speaker 3 (18:53):
Yeah, And I was like, okay, okay, especially when you
got to be on the right side of the court.
There's like thousands of courts, it's like, and there's no sires.
Court after court after court doesn't mean a which side
you're on. There's people on either side. Yeah, anyway, I
don't want to don't give you started.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Who'll do Antbull Special? Original Netbule Special down the track?
All right, we're gone for too long. Let's take a
quick break and we'll come back to talk the.
Speaker 3 (19:14):
Next NRL Immortal.
Speaker 1 (19:17):
Just quickly before we get into the next NRL Immortal,
the greatest pole volter ever apparently is set to race
the fastest. They have a four hundred meter hurdler on
the one hundred meters sprint. So they've had themselves a
little bit of a debate obviously while they're at the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (19:30):
So they're smack talking each other.
Speaker 4 (19:31):
Yeah, they're smack talking each other.
Speaker 1 (19:33):
So armand Dublant this who broke his own world record
of the pole vault at the Paris Olympics, will race
Castin Warholm, who said there's four hundred meter hurdles world
record at the previous Olympics in Tokyo.
Speaker 4 (19:44):
I love this.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
I like it, but there are two athletes I don't.
So if someone like if Lebron said I fucking kick
your arse and o Lyles and something, I'll go Now
I'm interested.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
Yeah, I think I think if you challenge Anthony Edwards
to any of the Olympic things, here you up on it.
But yeah, I'd love to watch the I think Hamish
Curse should have just talked mad shit about Lebron's like, oh,
you reckon near the goat, you reckon near the greatest
of all time. Come come see how high you can jump.
Both athletes, both these dudes, the pole Volta, the four
hundred meter herdless have run one hundred meters before in
an official capacity.
Speaker 4 (20:17):
One of them.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
Clocks ten point four to nine and the other one
ten point five seven. So can they can go fucking
pretty rapid?
Speaker 4 (20:23):
That is very quick?
Speaker 3 (20:24):
Yeah, yeah, look good on them. Good to see that
some online beefers. Yeah, actually been played out. Yeah, but
there are two events I couldn't kill.
Speaker 1 (20:34):
It's about no neither. But I do think this would
be good. I think we've talked about it before. But
at the closing ceremony, like just have Lebron have a
crack at the shop, but like get it, get your
run around in this in the stadium, you run, throw
it down, everything's set up.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
What can you do? See how you go?
Speaker 3 (20:49):
I'd love to see someone earl a javelin and you know,
all the athletes just in the middle and like read
Chilli bebbers are playing and fucking Flee just gets one
through the templar, drops to the floor.
Speaker 1 (21:00):
It would be a revelation if someone just picked up
the shot but and just.
Speaker 4 (21:02):
Broke the record.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
Yeah, there, that would be.
Speaker 1 (21:05):
It's like David Liddy was just like, oh wait, I'm
way better at that. Oh yeah, never mind the weight left.
But I thought that was quite interesting. Benji Marshall was
set to be inducted into the National Rugby League Hall
of Fame.
Speaker 4 (21:16):
I think it's next week.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
There's a bunch of them that are going through, Lionel Morgan,
Liz Boyd, Bennie Elias, Steve Rinoff, Cam Smith, johnsan Thurston,
Billy Slater. As I said, Benji Marshall, Cooper Kronk, Greg
English and Slam and Sammy Booches Sweat.
Speaker 3 (21:31):
I mean I recognize probably ninety percent of those players.
It is Boyd and Lionel Morgan.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
No, I couldn't tell you that.
Speaker 3 (21:36):
Yeah, the rest of them. Bennie Elias fucking I think
he's I think he's Die's favorite player. Yeah, I love
Benie Alias. He was always bleeding. He was always bleeding,
always had so much tape around his head. He was
always getting in scraps.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Lynchen Neels a bit like that.
Speaker 3 (21:50):
Yeah, Steve runoff with the head gear with the the
he gear that didn't really cover his head, kind of
full head head gear.
Speaker 4 (21:56):
It was like the boxing sparring hid gear.
Speaker 3 (21:58):
Yeah. Obviously in the rest to them are pretty recent.
So yeah, that's pretty awesome. Because Benji Marshall, He's forever
going to be known for that hot step and behind
the back pass during the Grand Final to win the Tigers. Yeah,
Grand Final, and that that is that I mean that
alone should get him into the Hall of Fame.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
Yeah, and just the impact that he's had on the game,
Like just from a skinny little kid Fromani who you know,
was mean at touch so then all of a sudden
doing the exact same thing in rugby league. I think
he's done more for the game in New Zealand than
just about anyone because how many kids I used to
run out onto the.
Speaker 4 (22:31):
Touch field and yo, Benji Marshall with my fucking flat feet.
Speaker 3 (22:35):
Everyone was doing the Beni Marshall step. You know there
everyone's getting airborn. Yeah, when the Benji Marshall was like
about eighteen months of people just getting airborne.
Speaker 4 (22:42):
Yeah, even people who couldn't step Now me, I'd.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Do it, and they're not not very off my line
at all. Just keep running dead straight. So yeah, Benjie
Marsh is going to be inducted into the Hall of Fame.
They are going to name another immortal next week as well.
So there's eight of them so far and a bit
of podcast would have written them down, but they set
to announce another one. The hot favorite is cam Smith.
(23:07):
So what's in Okay, you got the Hall of Fame, yeah,
and you got the immortal.
Speaker 4 (23:10):
It's very Australian.
Speaker 3 (23:11):
What's the what's what is it.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
Like the Mount Rushmore of rugby league? I guess are
the immortals?
Speaker 3 (23:18):
Is it limited by numbers they have to.
Speaker 4 (23:19):
Die or no?
Speaker 1 (23:21):
No, well a lot of them are dead, but no,
it's not limited by numbers evidently, because they're about to
end another one. I think Andrew John's was the last
one that they edited in. Mel Moninger's in there You're
forgive Lewis will be in.
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Thereah yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:34):
The who's who, I think, to be honest, key will
be in there. It's it's got to it's going to
be Cam Smith. I think I think they were just
waiting for him to to retire, right do you think
I can't think of anyone who would deserve it more.
Speaker 4 (23:47):
We're still waiting for our first Killy.
Speaker 3 (23:49):
Slater was he's got as Cam Smith.
Speaker 1 (23:52):
I don't know, Well, this is this is another one
of these debates where like Cam Smith played you know,
a million games in the n r L. Versus Billy
Slater's peak, you would probably say it was a bit
more impactful.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
Yeah, so it's like as a body of work versus
he Because then does Jared Haynes come into it? Probably not.
I think I think it's going to be a showing.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
And then obviously everyone's talking about who should be the
first Kiwi immortal. I would probably throw Stacy Jones out there.
I think with the New Zealand Simon Mannering will be
up there. But I don't think like he's had the
impact on the game that.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
Not in Australia.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
Nah, Sean Johnson did have a case.
Speaker 1 (24:27):
Well, so would Benji Marshall. So would Benji Marshall. Yeah,
so he's another step closer. But yeah, I reckon Teah,
we should opened up a book on that.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
So can you an upgrade from the from the to
the Immortal the Immortals.
Speaker 1 (24:38):
Yeah, you can, right, and cam Smith might be the
very first one to do it this year. I'm speaking
of to TB. By the way, We've got a hunch
to throw on and we haven't gotten on it this week,
so I wanted to get ahead of the curve. Okay
this week, and it's one of our last opportunities to
do it. We're going to get on the Jersey Bengo option.
Speaker 3 (24:56):
I love the Jersey Bengo option and it's come good
for me a couple of times. Yeah, I did it.
I did it on the Heidechey break for show and
they laughed at me. They laughed at me when I
said every Jersey one to thirteen to score a try
over the weekend. It took me a while to explain
to them what it was. But once they got it,
they were like, that's not gonna happen, and what do
you know, boom come Monday.
Speaker 1 (25:15):
Well, it's only parting two dollars seventy so it happens
quite often, but it is one of the most fun
bits to follow along.
Speaker 3 (25:21):
Yeah, get a sheet, get a shit one to thirteen
on it, watch watch every game and just tick them off.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
As they score. Yeah, it's so much fun. You have
to get on it early. If you're listening to this
podcast on the Thursday, you're gonna have to get on
it today. You go into the NRL and then it's
down the bottom of like the total NRAL markets.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
It's right down the bottom.
Speaker 1 (25:38):
You can do a couple of different options, like all
jerseys one to seven, seven to thirteen.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
We're going for all Jerseys one to thirteen to score
this weekend all bingo full bingo at two dollars seventy
So you can follow that one along responsibly. Now because
it is a Thursday, we are gonna throw it back.
All can play Otago in the NPC tomorrow night at
seven o'clock. The last time Otigo won the NPC was
in nineteen ninety eight. That was a long long time ago.
(26:04):
And in ninety eight when they played against Auckland. This
is how they lined up. This is the We'll start
with the Auckland team. Adrian Cashmore yes I think is
a reef. No maybe anyway, Doug Hallett on one wing,
a Ronny Clark in the centers with Craig in this
the chiropractic. Brian Lima was on one wing for the
(26:26):
Auckland team. Some of the great highlights on sosh Med
Carlos Spencer was playing for them back then.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
How good is that NPC back line? I know we're
missing that Spencer Lima, Innes Clark.
Speaker 4 (26:38):
Howlett Cashmore tremendous.
Speaker 1 (26:41):
I should mention that Auckland actually won this despite the
fact that Otago went on to win the whole competition.
Ford Pack, Oh sorry, Junior To was at halfback Ford Pack,
Xavier Rush, Mark Carter, Andrew Blowers, Robbanny Rodney Brook, Leo
lafay Lee, I don't remember him. I don't remember Fortissimun
(27:01):
who either went to school with Leo, Jamie Christian Kraig
dude was your front row as well.
Speaker 3 (27:09):
Chak out the bench, yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
Brad Morris, Steve McDowell, Milton one More, Female Maker, Steve Devine,
Aiden Vince and Dan Parkinson Man.
Speaker 3 (27:20):
That is that's a solid NPC squad.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah, from the from the Glory Days event.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
They didn't know, well they did. They did twel up
Otago in this game. But the Otago team read Dusty
Goldie was at fullback.
Speaker 4 (27:36):
Yep. Matthew Carrington on one wing.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
Reuben Parkinson, John Lesley was a second five eighth, Rommy
roy Parts he was on the other wing. It was
a party at Tony Brown's house at first five. This
was in the Byron Callahea are as well. I think
the gloves on, yeah, gloves on frosted tips, the whole lot.
It is all a mucker Josh Cronfeld and Tane Randall.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
That's a decent back.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
Three.
Speaker 1 (27:58):
It is John Blakey, Brandon Timmins and how's this for
a front row case mws and on Oliver Carlhoft Hack.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
These are good teams.
Speaker 1 (28:08):
Eugene Morgan, Joe McDonald, Simon Maitland, Kevin Middleton, Donovan Hall,
Eddie Heckanui and the chainsaw.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
Brendan Laney was on the bench.
Speaker 3 (28:16):
That's that. That's Champagne MPC. Theres from Matt ninety six
because I think ninety five was all. It wasn't ninety two.
Why at I won? You know, it's like all the
all Blacks were playing.
Speaker 4 (28:27):
Yeah, it was to the death.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
It was like the Whiteats or Auckland battles were brutal.
The Auckland can can actually anyone playing Auckland. Yes, anyone
playing Auckland was brutal.
Speaker 1 (28:37):
Super Rugby had only just started, so everyone was still
playing for their provinces.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
It still meant something. I think.
Speaker 1 (28:42):
I think New Zealand rugby needs to somehow steer back
in that direction. I know they did it like a
marketing campaign about the you know, the All Blacks back
to the regions now, but I just I.
Speaker 4 (28:52):
Don't know this they've got.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
There's too much rugby in the calendar at the moment
and it's watering down NPC because when you look at
those things, you would never see that these days. Nah
shit no, except for to be fair, the Auckland team
at the moment's a little bit like that. Be there's
a lot of them missed out on the All Blacks
still got tailed up by Wellington on the weekend. I
lost a lot of money on that game. But that's
your throwback Thursday for today. Auckland versus Otago and the
(29:13):
NPC in nineteen ninety eight, last chances to get into
the Snacker Checky Sports Scholarship as well. We're binge watching.
Sport is a sport. If you want to win that,
you can tax chip to three two three six. Follow
the link and you could be in to win the
ultimate acc price back. We're going to take one more
quick break. We'll come back with yours Please.
Speaker 2 (29:32):
Yours please, brought you by Leader, Home of the last top.
Speaker 1 (29:38):
And and for to get through this morning. Let's get straight in.
First call of yours please you get a Fellows is
catching up with a few of the bodies.
Speaker 2 (29:46):
Gla fucking now the bloody.
Speaker 3 (29:49):
That frock Countdownd fucking microvokes.
Speaker 6 (29:52):
Better load of ship breakdown.
Speaker 4 (29:57):
Olympics and with the boxing, what can.
Speaker 3 (30:01):
Of professionals Joseph Parker.
Speaker 4 (30:05):
Be Passi Pery or John A Wolder gold middle.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
It's a great idea, and I think the problem is
that there's so many different boxing federations that all can't
agree with the International Olympic Committee.
Speaker 3 (30:21):
That is the issue with Olympics a little bit, and
the fact that it's the mixture of professionals and amateurs.
Because yeah, the soccer, the basketball, like the professionals are
now allowed into play basketball, not the boxing.
Speaker 1 (30:33):
Yeah, well that was more I think, dude, like the
NBA didn't let them into the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (30:38):
It wasn't the Olympics not letting them in. Ah, right, Yeah,
I think it was that way around.
Speaker 1 (30:41):
But yeah, I agree because I don't know why there's
such a it's the most glaring one there, but it's
just triggered my like, if we're going to increase, you know,
the relevance of the Olympics, put UFC in there.
Speaker 4 (30:56):
Oh yeah, a UFC gold medal would be sick.
Speaker 3 (30:59):
You know what they white smart man, he was going
to make money. He'd be like, why would I do
that with the Olympic committy when they're going to rinse me,
like as I talked about, Yeah, he's going to be like,
if there's nothing in it for me, beat it.
Speaker 4 (31:11):
And that's the most glaring one though boxing that it's you.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
Know, combat sports is right, but I'd say that Olympics
would say they've got taekwondo, they've got Greeko Roman.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Which I'd say UFC is all of those things, like
been the rules, who's the best fighter.
Speaker 3 (31:23):
So you're saying being boxing, ben, taekwondo, judo.
Speaker 1 (31:27):
You know, we were talking about our boiled down Olympics,
and we boiled it down to eight events.
Speaker 3 (31:33):
UFC would be a good so get rid of Greco Roman,
get rid of Greco Roman. Yeah, and just Jack UFC
Coage fighting fight to the death. Yeah, no, it's a
great call. Thank you very much.
Speaker 4 (31:41):
Another caller here yours please.
Speaker 5 (31:43):
Hey fellas, Mike cox Sung are here from Takka. Just
been chopping some firewood and I was thinking about possible
improvements the next Olympics with the one in Brisbane. Maybe
something in wood chopping instead of the walk or breaking.
Speaker 4 (31:57):
What do you think of that?
Speaker 3 (31:59):
Yeah? Long, Yeah, we've got a we've got a proud
history and wood chopping.
Speaker 1 (32:05):
Some of the greatest timber sport athletes come from our
neck of the woods.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
I think it's great.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
How beautiful of the birds in the back ye, beautiful,
beautiful part of the country. Yeah, I think that's a
great idea. We go very well at wood shopping. Timber
sports in general.
Speaker 3 (32:20):
It's quite a big it's quite a big sport Nussey
as well, around all those countrys and amp shows and stuff.
So maybe maybe we can start a campaign.
Speaker 1 (32:28):
Well the hellow sport guys were talking about when they
host the Olympics in Australia. They said that they wanted
to put timber sports in there because they thought that
they'd have the best chance at winning.
Speaker 4 (32:37):
US about that. I don't know about that. That's true.
Speaker 3 (32:40):
It's like sheep sharing.
Speaker 4 (32:41):
We take that out.
Speaker 1 (32:42):
Yeah, that's right. We could swing an axe over here,
per capita.
Speaker 4 (32:45):
Some of the best X swingers in the world. Another
caller here, yourslease.
Speaker 7 (32:50):
Just catching up on some of the potties to you.
Speaker 6 (32:52):
Lane couldn't agree more about the certain station's rock countdown.
Speaker 3 (32:57):
This was like two weeks ago that it's the same guy,
I kip, we've lost them. I think that was the
same guy, but just a bit of quality.
Speaker 1 (33:04):
No, it was a different is that it was a
different caller and he had a point and I've forgotten
what it was, so never mind that guy. But yeah,
that was like two weeks ago that you made that point.
It was interesting that two dudes have picked up on it.
Speaker 3 (33:15):
It was it was there because it's the great New
Zealander's debate where it's not up to it's up to you.
The results are on online.
Speaker 1 (33:22):
Anyway, I forget what that guy's point was, but anyway,
we'll get onto the next one.
Speaker 4 (33:25):
Another call here, yours please?
Speaker 6 (33:28):
Yeah, you could run the red zone on a like
a one minute two minutes delay, and then obviously then
there's scoring hacks t A B hecks whatever you're talking about.
Red zone, NFL. I want to get into a fantasy.
Unlock fantasy, show me how to do it, Tell me
how to do it, get him behind it, and I'll
probably fail like the NRL fantasy cheers fellas love you.
Speaker 3 (33:50):
Yeah, the red zone thing, I don't think it's an
issue with the gambling because I think if you want
to watch it live, if you want to watch, if
you want to watch, can play upend live. You can't
go to Skysport nine and watch it like you know
what I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:03):
Issues the other way around, your bit will have already
come in before the red zone thing plays it.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
Yeah, which is right less of a problem. I mean,
it's more it's more a thing, a thrill thing for you.
It's not a legality thing and you know what I mean.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
Yeah, so yeah, because it's not like it's not like
time travel. You're not going to see it before it happens. Yeah,
you're not going to see it happen and then be
able to put a bit on it. Someone else sent
one and that we won't be able to play. But
they said that EPL has red zone. I feel like
football would work really well for that.
Speaker 3 (34:28):
Yeah, because you can just because the goals It'll just
be goals, wouldn't it. Yeah, and the team seconds lead
up to that goal threat, whereas rugby is just too chaotic.
I wouldn't work through so fantasy sport. He's looking for
some guide in.
Speaker 1 (34:44):
An NFL fantasy. Look, I'm gonna be honest. We need
we would need someone who knows something about NFL to
run that league.
Speaker 4 (34:52):
Yeah, because I don't know enough about it.
Speaker 3 (34:55):
I think I know very little bit.
Speaker 4 (34:57):
No, I'm in a.
Speaker 1 (34:58):
Fantasy league with Matt Heath and a few other people,
but I lost it last year.
Speaker 4 (35:04):
A couple of Americans, a couple of American people in there.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
I just picked anyone who i'd heard had been in
trouble for violence off the field, and when I picked
my team, I was forecast not to win, to lose
a game, and then I lost every game.
Speaker 3 (35:17):
Yeah, I'm similar to you. I would pick that and
anyone I've seen on a Netflix docker Yeah exactly.
Speaker 4 (35:23):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (35:24):
So no, I don't think we'll be starting one as
the ACC, but if someone out there wants to start one,
we'll join in.
Speaker 4 (35:31):
We'll definitely join it. Yeah, So let us know another
call here yours.
Speaker 3 (35:34):
Yeah, get a no. He first, I'm call a long
time listed.
Speaker 1 (35:38):
What about the marathon swimming out of ten thousand minutes
form or something, you'll drout, we'd all drought.
Speaker 4 (35:44):
To all the Olympics.
Speaker 3 (35:45):
You'd need two years of training for that. Anyway, that's
a good point. That is a good point. I didn't
know there was a ten thousand meter ocean swim. Yeah,
open water swim. Yeah, I needs no way I'd do that. No,
tinkas ridiculous. I think I could swim one k He's right,
that is that's that's some serious training.
Speaker 4 (36:05):
Yeah, that's honestly a couple of years of training.
Speaker 3 (36:08):
I could kayak that.
Speaker 1 (36:10):
No, I'd get pretty buggered just driving a boat that
far to be there, even if it was in a
straight line.
Speaker 4 (36:17):
That is a great point. I think we're going to
That's why I said I said it was going to
take me five or six years.
Speaker 3 (36:21):
Yeah, think about that kind of one. That that's the Yeah,
that is life or death. You'd die.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Yeah, that's right. There's no tapping out.
Speaker 1 (36:28):
What if you had like a lane rope the entire way,
a ten kilometer lane.
Speaker 3 (36:32):
Rope, I find a life jacket, oh yeah, and just
roll onto my back and.
Speaker 4 (36:37):
Kick for like thirty six hours.
Speaker 3 (36:40):
If there was no current. Yeah, Like, if I'm not
swimming in a river or an ocean which is taking
me the other direction, I'd get there eventually.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
Did they do it in the sin River at this Olympics?
Speaker 3 (36:50):
I think so. Oh, I hope it was all downstream.
Speaker 4 (36:55):
Yeah, gross, I think we've got one more call of yours. Please.
Speaker 7 (37:00):
You get just about the YouTube that old mate brought
up today, but we'll hear about it yesterday. Four views.
I'm probably twenty five percent of that. I think it's
very good. I do have a problem with many fiddly
on the old cord with his fingers. Maybe we need
to substitute that with something else, like a springloaded dili.
Speaker 3 (37:23):
Oh, well, I can springloaded. Came in, I can finished
like a hockey stick. Didn't he came to the springloaded dili?
What is the springloaded Delhi?
Speaker 4 (37:32):
I don't know what.
Speaker 3 (37:33):
Do you put it down and then after a while
jack in the boxes?
Speaker 4 (37:36):
Yeah, I guess so. I don't understand why you would
need to springload it.
Speaker 3 (37:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:40):
No, I have been a little bit veggety.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
It's just there's these new lollies in the break around
these little yellow pineapple lollies.
Speaker 4 (37:45):
I've been tucking into those and I've been fucking veggety
ever since.
Speaker 3 (37:49):
Then, you're getting a lot of work done there.
Speaker 4 (37:51):
Productivity has gone through the roof.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
But man, man in my stress lately, and I've done
a lot of research into nine to eleven. I think
we should not on the head for today. Before I
get two jiny, I need to go and have another
pineapple lollie. We'll be back tomorrow for the sports book
and for the Agenda podcast.
