Speaker 1 (00:00):
Goodness me, we were talking. What were we talking about?
We're talking about cake, and we completely forgot that.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
The ad and why not? Cake is very important.
Speaker 1 (00:07):
The sloppy cake, which is I'm not sure which one
was the sloppy cake that you were talking about.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
The more no, not the small round. It was very precise.
That was a neat That was a tidy cake. The
other cake that the little square disheveled that looked a
bit more freeze.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
That was the German baked.
Speaker 2 (00:21):
That the German baked that the German is a fantastic bake. Wow,
it was fantastic.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
It was a.
Speaker 2 (00:29):
Well, it looked like kind of my haircut. It was
a bit more.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
By the way, is Darcy water Grave sports talk and
it's nineteen past four. What it was was it was
a coconut and pineapple cake made according to the Ripe
Recipe book. Ripe does a fantastic recipe. Everything they do
is amazing. And I only had half of it and
then I got such a strong sugar buzz that I
felt like vomiting and I had to stop eating it.
Speaker 2 (00:54):
That's a powerful mental image.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
Thanks for that anyway, So thank you for the cake.
So crusaders are the fans angry.
Speaker 2 (01:01):
Some of the fans are angry because they've released the
tickets the memberships for next season and they've gone up considerably,
in some cases up to forty percent.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
It's because of the fancy new building.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
I wonder if it is. I'd say it is, even
though three of the games aren't at the fancy new building,
and four of the games are at the fancy new building.
Kind of staffed. In the middle of that is of
course the super weekend, the wonderful week of the Magic Round.
So they've released the prices and in essence they're yeah,
they're slightly lofty, but there's also a number of slightly
(01:34):
cheaper memberships involved as well. I think what you find
in situations like this is that when people complain, they
make the most noise, so everyone listens to them. When
people are happy, they don't really say a great deal
and just get on with it. But my opinion on this,
and we'll talk with conn of Mansbridge CEO up after
seven o'clock on Sports Talk Beers, is what do you expect?
(01:56):
It's different from the lean to in Sydnham that was awful.
This is brand new and I'm sorry, well I'm not sorry.
The Crusaders are a business. They're not a charity. They're
not there to make sure you could go and see
your favorite.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
There's a line to walk here, isn't there? Which is
that yes, absolutely, Super Rugby is struggling to wash its
own face, so it needs to charge decent amount of money.
But also people can stay home like you like to
and crack open a beer from the front that you
know is your favorite beer that is cold, sit on
your comfy couch in your warmhouse.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
There you go. So there's that experience of this new
Takaha is fantastic and what eighteen thousand people they're looking
for every week and maybe if they can get six
seven thousand members that are willing to pay that money,
knock yourself out, and I think christ Church they probably will.
But you can make a noise because I'm a hold on.
This is my money, this is my hard earned and
(02:53):
I'm not giving it to you unless you give me
something in return, it says raten Bet responsibly. Because it's
the time of the week again. You know, I've got
this punchamp for chucking money at all sorts of multis
because I really enjoy them.
Speaker 1 (03:07):
Put any money on the spring box.
Speaker 2 (03:09):
No do you regret that now? No? Okay, no, no, no,
no no. What I do is I do it every
few weeks and I go, oh, it was great, I
want and then I get all emboldened again by and
I go back. This time around, I'm playing multi games
again and I'm putting money across a number of games,
(03:31):
the Bulldogs via the Panthers, one point thirty for the
Panthers to win. I want to see that happen after
what happened to the Warriors, and then a lot of
low odds, a lot of favorites right the way through
the NPC, and I've got a tendency to do that,
although I've been convinced to run with a non favorite,
Bay Plenty in Sorry Hawks Bay. But that's because of
(03:54):
my producer. And also attaching that to the New Zealand
women who are paying a dollar sixty two to win
and a dollar four for the English woman of the
World Cup. Now that all comes to like a payout
of a two hundred and forty old bucks. Put twenty
bucks on it, but one if you want to do individual, Yeah,
I'm hoping. It's my daughter's birthday this weekend. I need
to pay for it somehow. Don't bet out of desperation,
(04:15):
only bet what you can afford to lose. Can bet responsibly.
The New Zealand women are paying a dollar sixty two
to win, and I think that represents a good money.
Too many people are nervous about No Georgia. Too many
people are freaking out about the fat. The Canada managed
to beat us and draw this of recent times. Those
people aren't watching what I'm seeing with the black ferns.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
You reckon's the black funds all the way.
Speaker 2 (04:36):
Love it.
Speaker 1 (04:36):
