Speaker 1 (00:00):
Darcy water Grave Sports Talkhasters with us.

Speaker 2 (00:02):
Cleavage is astonishing, isn't it When you think about it.
It's just a shadow, that's all it is. It's just
a shadow. Sorry that that is.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
And trying to remind you why you're actually here.

Speaker 2 (00:18):
Indeed, I am here. I am a sports talk host.
It's between seven and eight this evening. You're on this
fine station News Talk z B and we are going
to be having Shane Watson on the show tonight who
signed up for the Black Clash, and we are looking
to talk more as well around the Commonwealth Games and
whether people can traction on this is a difficult one.

(00:40):
So balancing who we're going to get on. We're going
to get talk on that, on the common Games and contraction.

Speaker 1 (00:46):
On this is a difficult one.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Like people don't care, possibly some of them do, some
of them don't. It's interesting to see who does something
very passionate about the comm Games. A lot of people
are like, mah, what does that actually mean? I got
some opinions on this, we'll do that are on the piece.
But as far as the ta B is concerned, Thanks
very much to the AKFC. Even though I begged Steve
Krak last weekend and make sure your team beat Brisbane

(01:09):
because that's my anchor, leg My seven leg Multi and
they drew. Thanks very much, guys.

Speaker 1 (01:16):
That work for you.

Speaker 2 (01:18):
We are eighteen. Beat responsibly and don't beat what you
can't afford to lose. So that's all I do. It's
a better fine, it's ten bucks because I can afford
to lose ten bucks. I'm I'm plainly not on the
salary the lot of people are, but I do it.
So this is what I'm looking at this week race cars,
because the Qatar races on this weekend and this is
Formula One and things have been really thrown up under

(01:39):
the air after the McLaren's basically got disqualified last week.
So I'm looking at a combination because you can go
on then and you can find single single race Maltis
on it. So I'm looking at Max Fishtapp and warning
it again, Orlando Norris finishing on the podium, Kimmy Anton,
Nelly and his Merge finishing the top six, and a

(02:01):
points finished for Liam Lawson that pays out just over
fifteen bucks. So that's what I'm going to run this
week in plenty of Wow. Yeah, I like Formula one.
It does add a little bit more to it. The
interesting thing in Formula one that was after what Liam
Wowson did last week was astonishing. Third ride the grid,
first goner, straight into pas Street. That was all over.
So I ran out of talent in the first turn.

Speaker 1 (02:22):
Hey s, what is the twenty through twenty thirty com
Games host city?

Speaker 2 (02:27):
Amta bird?

Speaker 1 (02:29):
What Indiana is that?

Speaker 2 (02:32):
Is that all? Hold on? Is that twenty thirty or
twenty thirty four?

Speaker 1 (02:34):
No, that's twenty thirty, isn't it?

Speaker 2 (02:36):
It is twenty third, it is twenty thirty. Because they're often.

Speaker 1 (02:39):
Shrived us at the games.

Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, I think that it's got to be Taylor made
and that's what they're doing in its form even though
what they've peered it right down for Glasgow, which is
a good idea because it's not the Olympic Games. It's
got to stop pretending to be the Olympic Games. It's
an event. Got to hit People love going to event.
So you look at the Black Clash for example. Not

(03:03):
a lot rides on it, but it's an event and
people want to go to events. So a common game's
over here. Imagine if that gun, boot throwing and wood chopping,
you know some some distinctly New Zealand flavors. I've court
sevens at Netpat and Da Da Da dada. But an
event that people want to go to, a well run event,
it could actually work, but they can't run. Simple simple
like this is an Olympic Games. Yes, it just isn't.

Speaker 1 (03:26):
