Speaker 1 (00:00):
Like from the Export Beer Garden's studios and brought to
you by Export Ultra of the Beer for here. This
is the Agenda Podcast for a Friday, the fourteenth of June.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Next Sport.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
A vulture said, I wasn't going to talk about it
on the podcast, but we're going to talk about it.
There's been a spate of engagements in my friend group recently,
oh yeah, and it has piled on more and more
heat obviously on me. Yep. Every time I go over
on away somewhere on holiday and I come back in
(00:35):
Kate and clear from Radio Hodak. You sit out in
the office, it's a water boarding. It's an absolute grilling.
Speaker 3 (00:40):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
And my question to you before the podcast was what
percentage of men do you think propose purely because of
the amount of people that wound them about when you're
going to propose eighty three?
Speaker 3 (00:53):
I think it's higher. Do you think it's high?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I think it might be higher.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
I look, yeah, there's quite a few of you at work,
actually is Adam, There's Joe. Everyone's on a lot of
heat there kind of in your thirties, you've been in
a long term relationship. There is a lot of pressure.
And you know what, that's why men invented the engagement, right,
because it's like a force field of fuck off, Okay,
stop asking, we're engaged, and then don't don't see it
(01:17):
a wedding date, right, So there's no real commitment to
an engagement apart from maybe a ring, but you get
that from Grandma. Yes, yeah, and then that doesn't cost anything,
doesn't cost you anything, and then you then you keep
the wolves at bay and then that, But then I
suppose the next waterboarding is whin's the wedding and you're like, oh,
we're just saving up for it, yeah, just until we
can afford it.
Speaker 4 (01:36):
Oh we're looking at a date next January.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Will let you know.
Speaker 3 (01:38):
Yeah, yeah, we're just kind of like yeah, and you
roll that over. That's better than the whole when you
getting married. When you get married, and it's only I have.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
Never had a male friend of mine say when it's
going to get married.
Speaker 4 (01:50):
Never once.
Speaker 1 (01:51):
The only time was when my mate proposed has messes
just about six months ago, and then immediately it's just
like we need to do it right.
Speaker 3 (02:01):
Yeah, So that as a play just to make you uncomfortable.
I was like, you've just proposed to her so that
you could do this to me. He goes, yeah, Oh,
good on him. Least he's made a game of it.
It's still only a proposal. Yeah, that's a right, it's sister,
it's it's you know, you could even I don't know.
Ring doesn't need to be that special. I mean, the
girl's like a big dealer. It has to be a diamond,
(02:22):
but diamond, but I can't afford a diamond. But my
love for you is priceless. That kind of shit lab
diamonds apparently, lab diamonds, Yeah, ethical.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
Effic.
Speaker 1 (02:32):
Sustainable, Yeah cool.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
Yeah, here is a ring.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
It's it's sustained. It's not a diamond, but it's a
sustainable diamond.
Speaker 4 (02:40):
Looks you can't tell the difference between this and a
real diamond.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
And there's no blood on your hands, correct, literally, yeah,
through through a blood diamond.
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Good luck with it.
Speaker 1 (02:49):
For the longest time, I've always said I don't like
if it didn't exist, I don't think we would invent it.
The wedding as as it is at the moment, because
when you look at like a like a catering bill. Say,
if it's a catering bill for a birthday party, say
it's whatever, one hundred dollars, just as a round number.
Now you say it's a catering bill for a wedding
(03:10):
two hundred dollars.
Speaker 4 (03:11):
Yeah, it's just like it's a scam.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
Admittedly, I spent seven years overseas, got engaged overseas, and
got married at home while I was still working overseas.
So for me, it was a great party. Came home,
got one hundred and twenty mates and we just ripped,
ripped a new one. Ye, got a marquee, stayed up
all night. Yes, yeah, I had a party and then
I could fly straight out of there again.
Speaker 4 (03:34):
Oh you left and went back?
Speaker 3 (03:35):
Yeah, and we paid for it with oil money. Yes, right,
So I thought it was a great time and it
was good to catch up with whole lot of friends.
He hadn't seen in ages. But I imagine who hasn't.
But I imagine if you're living here and you're seeing
your friends all the time, You're like, why would I
spend a couple of hundred bucks on your ship here
when you're going to come and just ruin my wedding
(03:55):
and drink all my person. Yeah, yeh yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
I think that's why people have destination weddings.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Times out of ten, it's just to weed out the
people who are like, sorry, I just don't think I'll
be able to make It's like, thank god, I really
didn't want you there. That's why it's in Fiji.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
I did everyone. Colleague who still works here actually, who
came to my wedding and he came up to me
and he's like, I love drinking your free person line.
He was like getting into it. And then I went
to his wedding. I went to his wedding and I
was head all these craft beers and I was like, hey,
I was like, and I just tipped it out in
front of him and I was like, oh, just it
was getting a bit warm. Might get another one.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
And in the back here he's going with budgeted for
four perpos.
Speaker 3 (04:35):
You know that guy that was for every two. I
tipped out too, and I was just like, bag you asshole.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
Yeah, I just don't think of it. If it didn't exist,
we wouldn't be like like if it didn't exist. And
your mate wroung you and was just like, hey, can
you at great expense to yourself, could you fly to
this place. Look what I'm throwing a mess of party?
Oh yeah, what's it for? Pretty into beang in this chick.
At the moment, I'm like, okay, and you need us
to be there?
Speaker 4 (05:01):
Why is that?
Speaker 1 (05:02):
You know?
Speaker 4 (05:03):
It's I want to get the government above lux and
needs no.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
About everyone needs to know, everyone needs And we.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
Gloss over what is actually happening there and then they're
all like, yeah, so after this, we're going to try
for a baby.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
It's like, oh, so more banging. This is what we're
and you've brought your mum yet.
Speaker 3 (05:16):
Well, look, it is a celebration to make aware to
your father in law that you're banging your daughter.
Speaker 4 (05:22):
That's what it is.
Speaker 3 (05:23):
It's a public announcement that I'm having sex with your daughter.
That's pretty much what it is. And it's an elaborate
way of doing it. Yeah, but I'm comfortable with that
as opposed to just telling him to his face.
Speaker 4 (05:35):
It's a huge statement. It is a huge statement.
Speaker 1 (05:38):
It's like, by the way, you're paying for it. So anyway,
I'm still waiting for a dowry, and until I received that,
I shall be until I received at least six head
of Greford cattle up my driveway.
Speaker 3 (05:52):
Efids the Cattle of Choice.
Speaker 1 (05:54):
Yeah, yeah, just you know, they put weight on.
Speaker 3 (05:56):
Hey. My name is Glane and I've been supporting the
black Caps since more seriously, been supporting the black Caps
since nineteen ninety one. And yesterday they hurt me again.
We've been through a lot. I mean, it's happened all
(06:17):
it's happened so many times that and I've got back
with them and we've had great times. Two or three
years we've been together and it was great times, and
then they slipped back into their old ways and they
hurt me. Then they come back with some champagne, and
they come back with some flowers and new promises, and
(06:37):
you know, and they they're different, and they say they're different,
and they are for a while, but then then they
hurt me again.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
Thank you for sharing your story of Elaine. My name
is Menia Stuardan. Yesterday I was hurt again. It's okay, man,
it's not your fault. I just keep thinking back to
the times when, you know, when we won the World
Test Championship, and I can't get past the fact that
it was so good at that time, and why can't
(07:05):
it be the same again.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
It's not your fault.
Speaker 1 (07:08):
It could just be good again the way that it was.
We were so great together. We were so good together,
and I saw a future for us if we could
just get past these kind of things. I don't know
how much more I've gotten me. I don't know how
much more hurd I've gotten me.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Thanks for sharing, man, Love you, Man, love you.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
I need to order my shirt.
Speaker 3 (07:31):
Well, I've got mine on today, you do. I actually
put it on that. I slept in it. I slept
in my black Cat supporters support at the cricket revage
so much, so much so we've had to order another
couple of Andy one hundred yesterday on the broadcast. If
you want to get one tech shot to three D
three secs. People go, you're making money out of it,
trust me. No one's making money out of selling T shirts. Okay,
(07:53):
what it's basically covering the cost. But what it is,
it's like a badge and people. People have come up
and hugged me in the street and it's okay, man,
and don't even need to talk. They bring you in
and go it's okay, and then you go, thanks man,
and you walk away again. It's a beautiful moment.
Speaker 1 (08:08):
I want the audience to know we take no pleasure
in this. Because someone came over to our our desk
this morning and said, I love the Black Cap Supporter
support group.
Speaker 4 (08:16):
It's such a good idea.
Speaker 1 (08:17):
You guys are like, this is brilliant, and I was like,
I wish it didn't exist. I wish we didn't have to.
You know, gladly give you a T shirt. But this
is something that shouldn't have to exist. No, I know,
but it has for a while now. It's existed for
about close on maybe fifteen years. What went wrong?
Speaker 4 (08:39):
What went wrong yesterday?
Speaker 3 (08:40):
Oh my god, I don't know, Like it was just
a fizzle out. Well, we gave away the last two
overs thirty seven runs and twelve balls. They were nine
down and they scored thirty seven runs in nine and
twelve balls. Old Ken Rutherford he won it for them
because he split the Adam He capta in New Zealand
(09:03):
and cricket. He had a son who played cricket. But
it was just so disappointing to have them nine down.
We had them seven for seventy six and like the
fifteenth over and then they were nine down for one
hundred and we couldn't finish them off, and everyone's saying, oh,
you got your sons wrong with the bowling came in
in some didn't. He brought back Trent Bolt and Tim Sow.
(09:25):
They had to finished these fuckers off and they were
nine down and we should have. But Darryl Mitchell and
Mitchell sat in a bowl the last two overs and
they got dispatched for thirty seven.
Speaker 4 (09:35):
That is absurd.
Speaker 3 (09:36):
So that's what lost us the game. And then we
came out fin Allen had a good start, he got
twenty odd, but we just put the pressure was on.
It was too much pressure to score it fucking ten,
twelve and over from there and we fizzled out. The
score card looks a lot better than what it was
because Mitchell Satin hit three sixes in the last over,
(09:56):
which meant nothing. So there was eighteen runs there ever
gonna win it. They needed like forty off the last
over to win and he hit three six Isn't it
looks closer than it was. In fact, it was an act.
It was hiding. We lost too many regular wickets.
Speaker 4 (10:11):
People just bowl.
Speaker 3 (10:12):
Well against us for some reason. I don't understand it.
We just keep losing wickets.
Speaker 1 (10:16):
Yeah, and I had that thing that I always have
when I'm watching cricket, particularly in T twenty, when you're
watching us obliterate someone with the ball, yeah, and you're like,
this is awesome, but are they about to do this
to us as well? And sure enough, yeah they were.
Speaker 3 (10:29):
We did bowl well though they have them, have them
seven down for seventy odd. It was like, yes, okay,
this is us, We're backing this World Cup. And then
that fucking Rutherford innings at the end, he's called sixty
eight or thirty seven balls. He took it away from us.
Speaker 1 (10:43):
And but even then, didn't you think one forty was chaseable?
Speaker 3 (10:48):
One forty? I mean it's one fifty to win, one
fifty one. The average on that pitch is one sixty
I think in T twenties. Yeah, one fifty is chaseable.
But we shouldn't been that. We should have been chasing
one hundred, one hundred and ten at the most and
we would have got that. And that's what was gutting.
It was like, ah fuck that, just that little moment,
(11:10):
those twelve balls, it was like fuck.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
Yeah. So the top two teams from each pool go
through because we lost our first game against remind me Afghanistan.
That means if you make me do that on Afghanistan
and Wind.
Speaker 3 (11:28):
So basically top Yes, So both West Indies and Afghanistan
are unbeaten right now. Yes, and both of them have
one more game remaining against Papua New Guinea or Uganda
or whatever.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
So so our hope is our only hope is they lose.
They have to both lose those games. We have to
lose both of when next two games.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
By heaps by heaps, which we should against Uganda and
Papua New Guinea. We should salc them like like England
did to who they mow this morning for seventy six.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
I didn't so Ireland.
Speaker 3 (12:01):
No, I wasn't Ireland. It was Scotland, I think. No,
I don't know. It wasn't Scotland with someone else. Anyway,
we need to have but Equatorial Guineas. The chances are
very very slim. No, it's over, it's over. It is over.
I think even if we do, even if Afghanisan drop
a game, they've got us on run rate. Yeah, so
we're done and they're not going to drop a game.
(12:23):
We're brown, We're done.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
I the headlines have all been and even Gary stead
to a degree kind of address that there weren't enough
warm up games.
Speaker 4 (12:33):
I don't think a warm up game would have changed.
Speaker 3 (12:35):
I think condition. I think it does preparation. I mean,
you look at we're we're goin a terrible record and
build up. So remember when our tour at Australia for
the Boxing Classic Boxing Day Test. We went to Australia
and played no warm ups and we got absolutely pounded
in Perth, and with no warm ups, decided not to
(12:56):
do any warm ups in Australian conditions.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
Stick down.
Speaker 3 (12:58):
Now you've got it. You've got you do have to
go over there and play some games.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Right to get used to the pitch, the conditions totally.
Speaker 3 (13:05):
You can't just go on the nets. You've got to
be out in the middle playing cricket. And that's why
every other team and the competition played warm.
Speaker 4 (13:15):
Ups right except for us, because our excuse.
Speaker 3 (13:18):
Was we didn't have the full squad together. Fuck that, well,
you've got eight players. Roll the eight players out, play
last man's stands, steady, but get out there. And he
came out and said that none were on offer, and
the ICC don't come out much. And if you listen
to the BYC podcast they tail into this. ICC never
usually come out with any sort of statement around that,
and they came out and said, that's bullshit. You got
(13:40):
offered warm ups and you declined them because.
Speaker 4 (13:42):
We didn't have all our players together.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
Yeah, which also supplementary question, why didn't we have all
of our players together? You know?
Speaker 3 (13:48):
Anyway, So I can't think of a worse World Cup
campaign than this, where you I forever remember us making
either the playoffs or quarterfinal, semi finals at least, yeah,
making the next round we always have, Yeah, but we
have nowhere near it.
Speaker 1 (14:05):
No, it was losing to Afghanistan. I don't think it
hurt as much as it should have because we still
had the Windy's game that could have kept us in it.
And I think if it was the other way around,
we would have been furious about the afghan loss.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
This is a country that has been war torn for
many decades. People can't tour there. No, they've got no
home ground. If you're a woman, you can't go to school. Correct,
it is run. It is literally run by the teallybar.
Speaker 1 (14:30):
What do we need to take away from the Taliban
to improve our cricketing stocks?
Speaker 3 (14:36):
They got something obviously we don't and they never had
to ask for a warm up.
Speaker 1 (14:40):
And yeah, well demand a warm up. There had been
a lot of terrorist activity in the lead ups to
this World Cup as well. I'm not drawing a line
between the two. I'm just saying that's what had happened. Also,
fear is a great motivator, and for a lot of
those guys in that Afghanistan team, you know.
Speaker 4 (14:55):
That they'd be very motivated. Yeah, you'd have to think.
Speaker 3 (14:58):
Well, that's the reason why at this World Cup there's
spider cams and not drones, which was.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Part of the which was the drones elsewhere was part
of the drama used today when that catch had to
get reviewed over and over and over again because allegitally
hit one of the wires of the spider.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
Yeah, and if it hits the wires of spider came
raor it hits a roof or any sort of structure,
it's a dead ball.
Speaker 1 (15:21):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:21):
That would have ripped down, rapped our undies completely because
that was the second or third wicket.
Speaker 4 (15:27):
Yeah, I guess in the end it didn't matter.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
But so how if you're one of the players, do
you get up for Papua New Guinea where you Gander, stupid.
Speaker 3 (15:35):
O'clock your Ganders. This is tomorrow at twelve thirty and lunchtime.
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
And I'm calling that with Jason Hoytan and think man
Heath is coming in to do that as well. The
best thing they can do is make it a short
one bowl you Gander out for fifty, get it in
two overs and just save us the pain, because if
they make it a game and make it difficult, that's
going to be even harder.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
It's going to be harder to commentate it.
Speaker 3 (16:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (16:02):
Well, just as just.
Speaker 3 (16:03):
As general supporters, I want them to grab you gander,
strip them naked and spank their little asses. Yeah right,
It just to prove a point because if they go
out there and going no, look they're up and coming Nation,
you know you're a plucky side, go and say you're
going to waste them.
Speaker 4 (16:17):
So you are calling for a Ugandan massacre tomorrow?
Speaker 3 (16:20):
Absolutely clip that.
Speaker 1 (16:23):
All right, let's take a break before we commit any
other international atrocities.
Speaker 4 (16:27):
Come back and whip around the weekend. Sporting Action.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
Super Rugby semi finals kickoff tonight Blues versus Brumbies will
be commentating that live on Skysport nine myself and Matt Ward.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
And iHeart Radio. Don't forget on iHeart Radio.
Speaker 1 (16:42):
Free on iHeart Radio for whatever reason you've ended up
in bed early. I quite like checking it on the
old iHeart Radio for the slip. Oh you're in the
car or wherever, wherever you are on the road, we
won't hold it against you. What is your prediction for
this game? It feels to me like the Blues are
going to cruise through.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
Are we underestimating the Brumbies?
Speaker 3 (17:00):
I think everyone always underestimates the Brumbies for some reason. Yeah,
but they did suck the last time they came to
eaton Park in Round Robin, whether it's not looking good,
whether it is looking atrocious.
Speaker 4 (17:12):
And you think that plays into the Brumbies.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
Yes, I do. I don't know why. I think purely
because the Blues are the favorites, and anytime there's any
sort of adverse conditions or circumstances, it always usually it's
not favor The Blues correct all the favorites. Yeah, so
that's why, because I imagine the Blues want to come
out send a message when by fucking thirty points, but
(17:35):
when it's pessing with rain, they can't do that. Yes, However,
I still think they're too good for the Brumbies. I
was hoping for a high scoring forty five twenty eight
kind of score. Yeah, but I'm picking it's going to
be like a twenty three twelve Yeah right, but turgid,
but turgid and the wet. But I think the Blues
will eventually grind them down.
Speaker 1 (17:56):
Yeap and throw into their chance to win their first
legitimate title since two thousand and three. On the other
side of the drawer on the Saturday night, you'll be
commentating this one.
Speaker 3 (18:05):
That's cheap AVO member, oh avo.
Speaker 4 (18:08):
Yeah, this keeps getting there.
Speaker 1 (18:09):
Yeah, four thirty four thirty afternoon game. It is Chiefs
versus Canes. I think that the winner of Super Rugby
comes out of the semi vinyl, but I don't know
who it is.
Speaker 3 (18:20):
Yeah, it's a tight one because my head says the Canes.
Of a heart obviously says the Chiefs manner, but going
on performance last week form last week, it's got to
be the Chiefs. But saying that the Chiefs might get
the blowback of the Canes performance last week, which that
first half was the worst half of rugby i've seen
(18:40):
the Canes play in a long time and they'll know
that and they'll want to come out hissing on Saturday afternoon,
So that might blow back on the Chiefs. However, Tim
Horan said that first twenty minutes at rugby at Female
Stadium against Queensland was the best twenty minutes of rugby
he can remember. Yeah, right, Chiefs in terms of how
(19:01):
clinical they were. They are up twenty one points to
now within twenty So I don't know, it's funny because
if they can carry that form through, it's going to
be a fucking awesome game.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
I think this is going to be an awesome game
because I think both teams can smell it. Yeah. You know,
the Chiefs came agonizingly close last year and then the
Canes have kind of almost.
Speaker 4 (19:21):
Came out of nowhere this year.
Speaker 1 (19:22):
You know, like they've they've been great from the start
of the season, but this I don't think anyone predicted
them to have the season that they've had. Yeah, so
they'll be looking at it, gone, Fuck, here's our chance.
This is the first chance in like eight years that
we've had to really have a crack here.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Yeah, So I think this is going to be an
absolute barnstormer.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
I wait, I can't wait, and myself and mccaney are
doing that. So if you're a Chiefs fan, get on
a Skysport nine or iHeart Radio. If you're a Hurricanes fan,
get on it and then abuse us via the text
because what invariably happens is people love. It's almost a
hate watch because then the Chiefs lose and the text
machines full of thousands of abuse. So and the wheels
are falling off the man of us. Shove the manipus
(19:58):
up your ass. Yeah, all that kind of up sale,
and we help it happily welcome that. Well mcconie doesn't.
He gets a bit, He gets a bit twitchy on
the text machine when it gets raw.
Speaker 4 (20:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
And then straight after that the Warriors are playing myself
and Keys. You will be commentating that one. What a
massive Saturday for the a sec in for sports fans.
Speaker 4 (20:15):
Super Saturday.
Speaker 3 (20:16):
And like we said said in the podcast on Tuesday,
thank the Lord that common sense has prevailed. You can
watch all of that on Skysport nine with no interruptions,
no crossover. You don't have to choose between the two mistresses.
You can sleep with them all.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Back to back to back, So from twelve thirty through
until about nine o'clock you're susted.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
On Saturday.
Speaker 1 (20:38):
On the ACC the NBA, yesterday Boston went up three.
Nill listens a little bit of a disappointing series. I
think what they've figured out is every other team freaks
out and just double teams Luka Doncicch.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
Yeah, he looks broken man. Yeah, he looks broken. His
knees look like they're about to give way. Every time
he's coming back back to court, he's like lumbering back.
Speaker 4 (21:01):
It's yeah to watch.
Speaker 5 (21:03):
Well, he's fat and and he's he's been fat as
entire career and it hasn't mattered because he's still scoring
fifty points and ten rebounds, ten assists.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
But I think as a series drags on, can you
know everyone on the other team is six packed up? Yeah,
and I think that does count for something. Yeah, he
does look he looks like.
Speaker 3 (21:25):
A broken man about the third quarter. Yeah, he looks
all over the shot.
Speaker 1 (21:29):
He's one of the toughest players to watch because he
bitches constantly to the refs.
Speaker 4 (21:34):
It just doesn't stop. He's winning the entire time.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
If he was in your social basketball team, you'd probably
kick him out, or you'd set up a new team
that didn't have him in it. But three nil, and
I know I always say always better bet on the
team who's facing elimination if the other team hasn't.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
I don't know. I think this could be a sweep.
Speaker 3 (21:51):
And as it today, no, it's not today, it is,
it's it's in it's in Dallas, so a back in Dallas.
It's two and two, isn't it two?
Speaker 4 (22:01):
So this is in Dallas. The TARB can't split them.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
It's a dollar ninety for each, so they don't know
who's going to win. I don't know if there's much
money to be made in that game. I'd probably the
only bit I was looking at that I might get
on would be Luka Doncic's leading scorer in that game.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Also, is it I would go. I'd go the MAVs
because I think Boston want to win it at home.
Oh yeah, not that they're going to throw the game, no,
but I think they may pump the brakes because basketball
is kind of like that. They don't mind throwing a game,
seven game series, yeah, and then go back to Boston
and then winning at Boston. Because I reckon. There's something
(22:39):
in a title at home.
Speaker 1 (22:41):
Yeah, when Lebron won that won with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
They won it on the road against Golden State, and
so they won, and obviously no one was there to
celebrate with them. They had to fly back to fucking Cleveland,
of all places. They stopped off in Las Vegas and
they partied there, which the fans in Cleveland didn't really appreciate.
But you're right, there is something about it. And it's
(23:02):
not that they're going to go out and throw the game. No,
that if they're down by ten points, they'll be like,
you know what, fuck it, will come back and win
the next one.
Speaker 3 (23:07):
Yeah, and they'll rest all the players, bench all the players,
just let everyone rest up and then just hunt them
at home. So I'd stick not my house, and that
if I was a betting man, I would I would
go for the MAVs just to jag one.
Speaker 1 (23:19):
Yeah, dollar ninety a little bit more. Not great eating,
it's not great eating the US Open as well as
teed off. This morning our time, Ryan Fox has finished
his first round and he carded a three over, which
isn't great, but it hasn't been great for anyone everyone's
been blown up. I think Justin Rose is tied with him, and.
Speaker 4 (23:40):
He's still he's a shot ahead of Tiger.
Speaker 3 (23:42):
What's a predicted cut do you know?
Speaker 1 (23:44):
I haven't seen, but it's not looking good for him.
For Ryan Fox, but like I said, it's not looking
good for anyone. Patrick Kentley is leading at the moment,
he's five under. Rory McElroy is tied for third, three under,
and so I think for our agenda hunch this week,
we should get on the US Open something to follow
across the weekend.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Well, definitely not Rory because he's not a closer. I've
got he's proven he can't close his divorce and he's
not going to close the US Open.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
He is the shortest odds at five dollars outright winner.
You don't you don't like that dollars for it?
Speaker 3 (24:15):
Where is where Chefler sitting on the table?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
Scotti Scheffler is somewhere in the inside the top ten
at the moment.
Speaker 3 (24:23):
De Chambo I don't mind.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
I don't mind Deshambo either.
Speaker 3 (24:26):
Can we can we go to Shambau Scheffler top five?
Speaker 1 (24:30):
No, because because it's kicked off, you can only get
on the outright winter at the So we're gonna have
to pick an outright winner for our agenda hunch this week.
Aberg Ludwig Aberg, who has been a real revelation in
twenty twenty four.
Speaker 4 (24:44):
He is sickond at that time recording.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
How about then, because we've got a bit of bonus
cash here, haven't we had it? Have about we? Can
we spread it? Can we put can we put fetty
on Scheffler and fetti on Oldberg? I feel, oh, you
want to go all in? What's your hands?
Speaker 4 (25:02):
I don't want splinters of mass.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
I want to get it. I want to I want
to be on one side of the fence or the other.
I think I think we go geez?
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Is it boring to bed on cheflet?
Speaker 3 (25:13):
It is a little bit missionary?
Speaker 4 (25:15):
But but he is paying six dollars?
Speaker 3 (25:16):
Yeah, and that's good eating. And you've got two more
rounds to go.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
If we're saying it's boring to bet on a guy
because we think he's gonna win, but he's also getting
six dollars, that seems like a good part, then, doesn't it?
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Anytime chefer's playing six, I mean, we're how far off
the leader is he?
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Again?
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I don't have the score before.
Speaker 3 (25:35):
We crashed it. He's like like ten over or anything.
He must be in the conversation if he's six backs,
because Rory's only five and he's coming third.
Speaker 1 (25:44):
Rory is tied for third with Bryce and d Chambeau.
They are three under. Then Tony Fee. Now we go
back to he may not have he may not have
kicked off teet off yet I can't. I can't see
him on there. But what now, chefless plus one? That's
why he's six dollars.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Okay, so he's got a bit of catching up to do,
but he's still in the conversation.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Through fifteen holes at the time recording this, he is
plus one. It's behind John Day, he's behind Cam Smith,
he's behind the homie Max Homer.
Speaker 4 (26:15):
Again, everyone's having a shock so far on those course.
Speaker 1 (26:19):
What about big t Bone Now, I mean.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
I know we're doing some lie.
Speaker 4 (26:25):
Yeah you really like?
Speaker 1 (26:27):
I printed them out so that we could pick one
from there, and you've now got me going through. I
can't find I can't find the odds pick one for
the top five.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
It's not going to be Rory.
Speaker 3 (26:36):
No, you don't like you don't like Ludwig I don't
mind it, Ludvig. I don't mind Alberg. It was between
Olberg and Scheffler. For me, I think we got Scheffler
six dollars for Shiffler. I think is ridiculous value. Okay,
get checking on you.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Already enough on your brainstorms. Let's take a quick break
and we'll come back with yours.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
Please, yours please, rode By Leader, Home of the Last Sun.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
The Top, got about four of them to get through today,
so let's rip straight in. Call the yours please you Gay.
Speaker 6 (27:09):
Collas Hey, I just want to come back your life.
Fuck all people are going to super rugby these days.
I can walk into any premier club rugby game for free,
have a five dollar beers on the sideline, watching a
good game of footy with no fucking TMO. It's just
a way you getter entertainment for the less investment. Fuck
who knew? Who knew that people would turn up for
(27:31):
a good game of footy. We don't have to spend
Fuck all who wrote.
Speaker 3 (27:36):
Look, I feel strongly about it and I can't disagree
with him. I go down and watch our senior premiere
club rugby team down the shore, and you know, any
given Saturday and a nice Saturday afternoon. There could be
you know, a thousand people there. Yeah, on the sideline.
And he's right, you can have a if you're a member.
There beers are five bucks. Get a five dollar fucking beer.
(27:58):
He walked to the sideline, have a beer. And you
can even get like a burger or whatever for seven
bucks in the clubhouse.
Speaker 4 (28:04):
That's all people want, I know.
Speaker 3 (28:06):
But and that's all people want. And it's and he's right.
The foot's great as well. Yeah, and it's you know,
it's fast flowing. It's I mean, it's terrifying watching it
because you're so close and you these bodies slamming into
each other makes you WinCE.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
But it's good.
Speaker 3 (28:20):
But I suppose because of that live experience, you actually
want to go and watch you know, higher performing teams.
You want that same experience.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
I e.
Speaker 3 (28:29):
Make it easy because it's easy. All he's saying is
it's easy to walk down, have a beer, a pie,
watch the thing that just needs to translate to going
to Eden Park or yeah, the cake turn It just
that that that needs. But at the moment, it's not.
Speaker 1 (28:44):
No, it's not easy. It's anment you mentioned. If you've
got kids, and it's a seven o'clock at night game.
Speaker 3 (28:48):
I don't go.
Speaker 4 (28:49):
It's a shit show.
Speaker 3 (28:50):
I don't go.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
Yeah, it's too expensive, Yeah, it's too It's like you
have to leave home so early just to get there.
Speaker 4 (28:58):
You don't enjoy it.
Speaker 3 (28:59):
Yeah, just the ease of it. And that's club club
rugby is great, like you get into it, go to
your local club rugby game. The clubhouses are great.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
And the no TMO thing I think is crucial.
Speaker 3 (29:09):
That was good because there's no stoppages. Yeah, you know
what I mean, it's just boom boom boom everyone. It's
pretty respectful. Everyone's pretty respectful of the referee.
Speaker 7 (29:17):
You know.
Speaker 3 (29:17):
It's not like the old days where everyone's is yelling
at the refe so and at.
Speaker 1 (29:21):
Club level, whoever's got the whoever's the touch shutge, who's
just one of the local guys from the club. He's
going to give his team a couple of calls that
you know, he's going to call back a try every
now and then.
Speaker 3 (29:32):
And senor North Harbor Rugby, they have proper touches. The
trainee referees. Yes, so it's not the phisio from the
other team.
Speaker 1 (29:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:39):
Well, but in most leagues.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
I would say that it is probably the physio and
he's going to call your winger out of bounds when
he's going to score a try. Yeah, but so's your
guy when they come to your place.
Speaker 3 (29:48):
It all swings around it.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
It's all swings and roundabouts.
Speaker 1 (29:50):
I think that on the whole, on the aggregate, it
comes out even and even with all the TMOS stoppages
and blah blah blah, they still get the calls wrong.
Speaker 4 (29:58):
So I reckon Bennett. Yep, you're right. I completely agree.
Speaker 1 (30:01):
It's I can see why, and we need the professional
game to to swing back that way a little bit totally.
Speaker 3 (30:06):
Just don't get don't give up on the on the
don't give up on code altogether. And this guy hasn't
down at his club.
Speaker 1 (30:12):
People still, we still love watching the game totally. It's
just there's so many barriers between us and doing it.
Another call here, yours, Please.
Speaker 4 (30:19):
You get a fellas.
Speaker 8 (30:21):
My black Caps Supporters support group t shirt arrived just yesterday,
just in time. This is absolutely heartbreaking. Please help someone
hold me.
Speaker 3 (30:36):
It's okay, man, it's not your fault. It's not your fault.
Speaker 4 (30:39):
Go and find someone else that has that T shirt.
On as well.
Speaker 3 (30:43):
Just hug anyone, just you, you'll be able. You can
almost tell the body language of a black Cap supporter
today because if you lock eyes, you go and then
come here, come here, come here, and then just you'll, you'll, you'll,
you'll see it, You'll see someone. Just go out into
the wild and find one.
Speaker 1 (31:00):
Just imagining someone coming in that might work with, like
an Australian or something, or someone that wants to give
them a ribbing.
Speaker 3 (31:06):
Oh yeah, now's not the top. I've got enough on
my phone. I've ignored them all. Yeah, why do you
keep we suck? It was the first thing I got
and I was like, fuck.
Speaker 1 (31:14):
You, it's too raw. Suck you disco another caller here,
yours please?
Speaker 4 (31:22):
I blame this loss on grim Laine.
Speaker 7 (31:25):
Come on, you said he was going to head over
to the Westerndies if we made the finals and look
over from Twoway. I'm looking forward to rallying around my
fellow Black app Supporter support group members in the community
of Hall tomorrow morning.
Speaker 3 (31:36):
Yeah nice, we finished it off well, but look, no
nothing to do with me. I haven't booked my flights
and you're still here to get some still here, so
there's no curse, So don't try and don't try and
stain our campaign with me.
Speaker 1 (31:49):
We've got one more caller here, yours please?
Speaker 9 (31:52):
Yeah, good a fellas, hope you enjoyed field days. Use
city slickers and your clean gum boots and your cattle sticks. Hey,
what will be I reckon the chances of a Highland
of the Brumbies final down at FML, but of an upset?
What are you fucking American?
Speaker 3 (32:06):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (32:07):
Anyway, fuck South January.
Speaker 4 (32:08):
I'll take this one.
Speaker 1 (32:10):
It's gonna be pretty tough given them the Highlanders haven't
made the playoffs and do not play at FML stadium.
Was he meeting the chiefs presumably? But what I would
say to anyone that wants to send in a voicemail,
because we have copped so much fact checking and so
much nine and succesexual Eagles fifteen eighteen, that if you're
(32:30):
going to be sending in slandering us and saying fuck
South Caterbury, make sure you at least know who's in
the fucking semi one.
Speaker 3 (32:37):
Also, there's there's a lot of issues with that because
I think the Chief's qualified fourth brumbyes third. So if
the Brumbies beat the Blues Chiefs beat the Hurricanes, the
finals gonna be in Canberra.
Speaker 1 (32:49):
Which is Super Rugby's worst nightmare.
Speaker 3 (32:51):
Absolutely worst nightmare.
Speaker 1 (32:53):
So yeah, yeah, I think on the whole not not
very likely.
Speaker 4 (32:59):
No Highlanders will be in the final. Maybe next year.
I don't know, there's always next year.
Speaker 3 (33:03):
I didn't think about that disaster actually, all the Brumbies
upsetting the Blues and then.
Speaker 1 (33:08):
If it's Chiefs versus Brumbies in Canbra it would be
the worst.
Speaker 4 (33:13):
But you also can't go.
Speaker 3 (33:18):
Maybe they could break the curse.
Speaker 4 (33:20):
You're going to go to Canberra.
Speaker 3 (33:21):
That's it. If the final, if the final is in Camera,
I'm going.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
This is reach out, Airlines, reach out, Queen Australian Government
Quantas Sterling Mortlock. We need to figure out if Glane
can break the curse. And I think that somebody from
Canberra should pay for this because it's in their best
interest because if you go over there, the track record
suggests the Chiefs will lose.
Speaker 4 (33:49):
But if you're confident that.
Speaker 1 (33:50):
You can't break the break the curse, this is a
great gamble for someone from the Australian capital territory to bankroll.
Speaker 4 (33:59):
Us testing this curse.
Speaker 3 (34:01):
This is it I'll for it.
Speaker 1 (34:04):
I just want to say, Okay, well let's do it.
Speaker 3 (34:06):
That's that's a promise. If the Chiefs make the final
and it's in Canberra, I'm going.
Speaker 4 (34:12):
I mean, it's an away game for the Chiefs either way,
isn't it?
Speaker 3 (34:14):
Yeah, Blues if it's up here?
Speaker 4 (34:16):
But then you live in Auckland, So what happens there?
Speaker 1 (34:19):
What are the ramifications of the g line curse?
Speaker 4 (34:21):
If they play the final in Auckland and you're.
Speaker 1 (34:23):
There because you haven't traveled, that's cool. Look, that's something
for us to discuss on Monday. If it happens. I
really want the the Brumbies to win this. Now you've
got a vested interest. I have a vested interest. All right,
let's not this thing on the head. Enjoy your super Saturday,
Enjoy your sporting weekend. We'll see you on Monday for
another episode of the Agenda, and on the same feed
