Speaker 1 (00:00):
Sport with the tab app, download and get your bet
on our eighteen bit responsibly. Darcy Waldgrave sports stalk Hoasters
here Hello Darce.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Why ay? Yeah wrong, Mike, there you go get a
I turned the other one on over there. I'm doing
all over the show and getting close to the weekend.
Great to be here. I am over eighteen, so I'm
allowed to bet responsibly with the tab. I bet successfully,

(00:28):
it doesn't.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
I'm so looking forward to the day when you come
in here and you go, that's it. I have one
big if you win anything, can you please tell us? Well?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
I actually I put a seven league multi down last week.
I got these random games and I thought that one
of them was the game on Sunday, but it wasn't.
It's Auckland FC. You were playing on Sunday. So of
Aukland FC b Brisbane on Sunday.

Speaker 1 (00:51):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (00:51):
I won twenty five dollars. Hi. They always say, don't
bet what you can't afford to lose. I've got I've
got no money. Okay, I've got had a little tiny
ten so I know everything else I bet last week
though nothing came through. I got I've got one for

(01:13):
you this time around. It's it's probably the most insane
bet ever, but there's value here, right right, Listen to
me like a bookie. There's value here. There's a big
fight going on at Cutter this weekend as UFC surah
Can is taking on Hooker, the Hangman, Dan Hooker. Now
he's the challenger. Iman will be the number one contender

(01:35):
should he go through and win this against Torporea, who's
got the title, and you've got the Hangman coming in now.
Dan Hooker's paying four dollars fifty, so that's that's pretty outside.
So you say favoritism lies with the Armenian at a
dollar twenty. But the beauty of violence is that you
just don't know. One lick, it's all over, yeah, all

(01:57):
over now on the ground, Dan Hooker not great. He's
getting better at grappling. He's a striker and he's a nutber,
he really is. He's insane. I don't quite know where
he comes from, but all he wants to do is
beat people up. So he's in the right job, which
is good. But he's got a good stand up game,
he's got a good punch. So maybe early on in
the piece he catches Arman and it's all over. It's

(02:19):
four dollars fifty, So there you go, so five dollars
on that five dollars. I'm wanting to win my twenty five.
I win my twenty five, and I think that'll come
through just before this fight starts, and I'll put all
my okay eighteen bit responsibly.

Speaker 1 (02:35):
Because we're doing a lot of controversial stuff today. Controversial.
Take here we go, that's very controversial. Really, the silver
Ferns are better off without Dame Knowles.

Speaker 2 (02:43):
The silver Ferns are better off away from New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Well, or maybe that better off without Dame Knowles. Look
at what is happening. They are doing really well. They
won the Tiny Jamison, they almost won the.

Speaker 2 (02:55):
Constant almost extra time.

Speaker 1 (02:58):
He didn't quite take England.

Speaker 2 (03:00):
Uhhh. They did lose a game though, but.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
They won the series.

Speaker 2 (03:04):
Yes, that they did to the victor the Spoils. And
because and Jury Rigg's done a really really good jobs
being thrown in there, parachuted in at the last moment,
and she's done an exceptional job. I can't help but
think the players away from the Goldfish Bowl are really
enjoying actually playing netball again and not being I don't

(03:26):
know the players I know a lot of them to
talk to individually. I'm not allowed their phone numbers, understandably,
but I know the media lady really well known carry
for years and years and years, and I just get
the sense of relief when I talk to them. It's like,
we're out of that mess. We're not going to be
dealing with the CEO. We'll not be deile this that
we're not being dragged into it. We're actually here to
do what we do best, which is we're a black

(03:47):
dress and she had netbule around he look, he may
well be right, but I suppose Nol's looking at this
going She's probably ringing out the bit right now, going yeah,
I don't we we we come back. But that is over.
That Northern Hemisphere is over, and the All Blacks will
be over on Sunday morning. And I think we're all
pretty pleased about that. It's the last sod of dirt.

(04:12):
H's the lid of the All Blacks coffin for the year.
Another very underwhelming year.
