Speaker 1 (00:03):
For all your mad bastards loving the Big Show podcast,
Get up even Closer on Instagram, YouTube and picture off
for for targets for de sit every weekday on radio.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yeah, hello, hell, good eh ah. One kind of in
summary gear. Kind of you just in your normal T shirt, Maggie.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
Yeah, I'm always in a T shirt man.

Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, come here you are. Actually I very rarely see
you in a ship anything else.

Speaker 1 (00:38):
Yes, Yes, we were.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
Just chatting about Alie Cartour and the league, right getting
knocked out. Ali Cartour stable condition after seizure activity ongoing surgery,
had a brain bleed and the cidery was to release
fluid and relieve pressure on his brain. That's what made
Ti Mighty Martin have to retire medically from the NRL. Yeah,
and it's completely unnecessary, completely unnecessary. There's absolutely screwed.

Speaker 4 (01:03):
And that was what like after the game.

Speaker 5 (01:06):
Yeah, they're talking about halfway through or towards the end
of the second half when I got stretchered off.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Yes, the reason they brought him off was because of
the bleeding.

Speaker 3 (01:14):
Apparently that's the reason why, and that was the only
reason why they kept bring him or they brought him
off right like otherwise I would have left him out
there still, and he was completely efft.

Speaker 2 (01:22):
That is a shocking election of duty there.

Speaker 3 (01:27):
That is because he's one of the best back well
he's probably the best back row in the competition.

Speaker 5 (01:31):
And that's the problem, right, So we've got to have
him out him out there, and so yeah, and was
in tears.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
I can imagine, you know, he was like literally balling
his eyes out.

Speaker 4 (01:42):
Yeah, he was crying because he was like, what have
I done? What have I done?

Speaker 5 (01:45):
But great game though, great game is a lot of fun,
and particularly in comparison to the All Blacks I've earlier
that day in terms of entertainment value, crowd involvement, what
about the singing from the tongue and fans, it was
like it was over the louds for unbelievable.

Speaker 4 (02:01):
Initially thought it was a recording.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
It was so beautiful. It was stunning. Yes, but just
all go the whole time.

Speaker 3 (02:07):
Having that atmosphere at Eden Park. Yes, it can be done, Yes,
it can be done. The last time there was an
atmosphere there was twenty fifteen Cricket World Cup and since
then there's never any atmosphere.

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Yeah, it's and that's it.

Speaker 2 (02:20):
There was no comparison between the rugby and the league,
and I was just ifing and jeff in my way
throughout that entire all black testament.

Speaker 1 (02:28):
So it was a.

Speaker 5 (02:30):
Debarkle and then cheering and screw because I I think
people might think that I hate it, but I was
when We're getting those tries and I'm screaming the house down.

Speaker 4 (02:36):
Sure, I'm the same.

Speaker 1 (02:38):
I think that.

Speaker 5 (02:39):
The only thing that annoys me is you've got these
great players and it just yeah.

Speaker 2 (02:44):
And what a crowd there, man, How magnificent did that look?
And then they've got and they haven't sorted up the
technical side of it, and so they go, oh, we
haven't got that.

Speaker 4 (02:54):
We haven't got the angles on that. Sorry.

Speaker 5 (02:56):
So there was a head high right at the start,
so they needed the third umpire needed to show the
empire on the ground, the reef on the ground, but
the third Empire wasn't connected, so it couldn't show. I
couldn't shot, So it was without a word of lie.
The game stopped for ten minutes. Oh wow, the first
half took like fifty seven minutes.

Speaker 4 (03:14):
Wow, it was ridiculous. Holy cow, never got a read card,
by the way, that was stupid.

Speaker 1 (03:20):
Stupid do you know? Because what time was that game?

Speaker 2 (03:22):
Am?

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Nine?

Speaker 3 (03:23):
I literally had a thing set on my phone nine
am or Blacks, and I looked at it and then
looked outside of how nice it was, and said, I
don't want to watch it a right, and just went
out and we did some gardening and stuff instead.

Speaker 1 (03:34):
Ah, but I'm like, this is.

Speaker 5 (03:36):
Actually I got through the first half and then I
went and worked and just had it on my computer.

Speaker 3 (03:40):
Yeah, which I do if we had something to do,
but I was like, fuck, it's so nice outside. I
don't and the All Blacks haven't entertained me enough recently
that I've just like been I'm waiting for a big
game to get me.

Speaker 2 (03:49):
It was a classic, one of those games where just
neither side got a flow on and it was just
riddled with mistakes and technical problems.

Speaker 4 (03:58):
It was just a debacle because.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
The frustrating thing is you look at the players and
you go, these guys are sick, and when they string
it all together, it's going to be mean.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
But I'm just waiting for it to happen. Can't that man?

Speaker 4 (04:09):
Magnificent weather?

Speaker 1 (04:10):
Fuck? It was good.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
The Whole Archy Big Show week days from four on
Radio hurrachy They Big Show podcast.

Speaker 2 (04:19):
I've been wearing shorts for three days, fellows man, how
crazy is that?

Speaker 1 (04:25):
Feel good?

Speaker 5 (04:25):
Man?

Speaker 4 (04:26):
Oh yeah?

Speaker 2 (04:28):
Actually my wife said to me, yes, I think your
legs have got a bit bigger wow from maybe from
the golf, from all corking, And I went, yeah, baby,
hell yeah, yeah, my cutoffs were really tight around the thigh.
Still got fercet withered calves and anchors.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
Wrong with you?

Speaker 4 (04:47):
But yes, it's nice.

Speaker 1 (04:48):
It's been good, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (04:49):
And it makes a huge difference. So they actually did
gardening yesterday too.

Speaker 3 (04:52):
Geezy, I didn't drink so good. I don't drink any
alcohol over the weekend.

Speaker 1 (04:57):
I did the opposite of that. Oh you got steamed,
Well yeah I did. Shame on you man. Yeah. Well
I wasn't going to I was like, I can't. And
then I got home that missus had a bottle of
wine open.

Speaker 5 (05:06):
I thought, oh, just a little tipple, so me and
who are up to?

Speaker 1 (05:11):
That's so great? There running And then the next day.

Speaker 5 (05:14):
Work work, work, work, followed by the guy I was
working with comeover, had a couple of beers, then went
into the cricket. Everybody was hungover.

Speaker 3 (05:24):
Yeah, doing that cricket on the couch there. It was
pretty grim and it was enjoyable at all.

Speaker 5 (05:32):
Look, I had to drip my way through it. But
then in the break we had Indian and that just
leveled everybody again. When went into a food comber and
we're just praying for a collapse. We didn't care who
it came from, yes, didn't care, just let's get this over.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Well.

Speaker 2 (05:43):
It was funny because I was watching other bet and
I was thinking, oh, the fellows might get away with
us here, and.

Speaker 4 (05:50):
I was like, oh, it's gonna be over real early,
and then it just drag.

Speaker 2 (05:55):
Those are the most painful ones where your expectations are,
oh shit, this is going to be over and thirty
overs or twenty overs, yeah, and then it drags to
the fortieth and you're like.

Speaker 5 (06:05):
Well, Lane Lane. So Lane had the night before the
ACC did the podcast down in Wellington. Then he went
back to Paul Ford's house. Then he jumped in a
cab at seven twenty to make an eight am flight.
He was calling Jo Jury's I'm not going to make
this flight. He was the last one and they held
the plane for him. He's sprinting through the airport, gets

(06:26):
back here has to commentate the cricket got home, dropped
his bags, said hi to his missus and by his misses,
and then commentated every single ball. Guess of that game,
so eighty overs. He had more energy than everyone else,
than everyone he's It was pretty pretty amazing because he
was an absolute heap of.

Speaker 3 (06:46):
And then and then you see him in here today.
I just came in before and then showed us the
gulf so that he set up in the photo studio.

Speaker 5 (06:53):
He's sprightly. And then he then he did the rugby
commentary on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
I wouldn't say he was sprightly. I thought it was
pretty That would be an exaggeration. He seemed quite subdued.

Speaker 3 (07:04):
I was expecting him to be a heap of ship
like I would have been, and he seemed relatively smart.

Speaker 5 (07:09):
Yeah, he looked good and he looked like he was
wearing new clothes. He must have burned his clothes from
the weekend.

Speaker 1 (07:13):
I love he just goes hard, unbelievable, really ridiculous.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
Yeah, I was struggling, but I didn't joy. I haven't
done any commentary for a long time, so that was
a bit of fun. And then yesterday, what have been
yesterday Sunday. Sunday did something. Oh there was Halloween, wasn't
there was it on Friday Friday? Yeah, so the kid
was out and about doing that. And then yesterday I
can't remember what happened in the morning, but went around

(07:37):
to a mate's place and watched the BUCKBA League, cleaned
the house.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
That's what I did. Well, that watched the league and
had a few beers. Yeah. Man, so I drank far
too much, but that is okay.

Speaker 4 (07:51):
Yeah, the next fine weekend.

Speaker 1 (07:53):
I know, Well that's the trouble. That was the trouble
as well. It was like, we're going to this weekend. Yeah,
I'm gonna trying to get out of all of that.

Speaker 2 (08:02):
It's funny, man, because I was telling Keazy on the
way here when we were walking over. I just had
the most shocking performance anxiety dream last night, and I
think it might be related to the Barefest but also
just work in general.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
And shockingly it was.

Speaker 2 (08:19):
It was such a bad dream that it woke me
up one of those ones and I was like, oh.

Speaker 5 (08:25):
I had someone and I had a similar thing. Her
former bosses were chasing after it. Yes, you'd left that
place five years ago.

Speaker 2 (08:31):
I was trying to get to the big show, and
I was getting waylaid by all these things, and you
guys were right up on the top of.

Speaker 4 (08:36):
This hell and I was going, oh fuck, I'm never
gonna make it there, geez.

Speaker 2 (08:39):
Then you rang me on the phone and we're effing
and jefferent because I was like fifteen or twenty minutes.

Speaker 4 (08:43):
Later, I'm like, I'm trying to get there, Mogi.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
And then Toddy rang me and was like, this is
why you guys need to get in here early.

Speaker 4 (08:52):
This is the excitement. I was like, there's got nothing
to do with it.

Speaker 2 (08:55):
Toddy, It's not what And then realistic is there and
just woke up and a frenzy of oh my god,
and you are like half an hour into the show.

Speaker 5 (09:05):
Yeah, all you want to do is just do the
radio show. But there's all the stuff getting in your way. Yes,
I just want to go.

Speaker 4 (09:11):
Literally, because it was that a fear people going can
you just help me with us? Jase like it'll take.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Two minutes, and I was iffing and jeff and going
I really can't, man, I've got to go and through
the show, and they're going, seriously, it'll take two minutes,
and I'll be like.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
That's funny, isn't it. It's because of all this extra stuff.

Speaker 3 (09:26):
Now you obviously you're filming, We're gonna go do this
festival when all you really do want to do, well,
it's just the radio show.

Speaker 1 (09:32):

the bridge. I think that's what.

Speaker 5 (09:37):

all this water to go under the bridge.

you what I wanted to not like. A Friday night
was so beautiful. We'd had a delicious meal. We were
