Speaker 1 (00:00):
Andrews Hel Jason Pane, Good morning to both of you.
Do you have very fond memories Andrew of Brighton More.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
Yes, I do. I heard you talking about that before eight.
Such a shame that it fell over in the end.
I suppose the malls killed it, didn't They and everyone
else had Saturday and Sunday shopping and it's never been
It's never been the same since. I've been there quite often,
you know, in recent times. And the hot pools are fantastic.
(00:29):
Needs more than that though, as well.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
They people onto it. They got people yeah, yeah, yeah,
well we're not old enough. But I was just telling
other people out off here. But apparently the claim is
from the developers that it's real. Heyday was the fifties
and sixties, right before our time of those. No, I don't,
but I do remember. We were just reminiscing. I remember
when they started doing the Saturday morning shopping and it
(00:52):
was the end of the world.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
I remember the traffic used to be lined up all
the way from basically the beach right back most half
way into town.
Speaker 1 (01:01):
Yeah, it's with the days, Jason.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
You shift down there and retire would take off.
Speaker 1 (01:08):
I reckon it would too. Well, I'm trying. It's not
like I'm not trying. But I've got I've got a handbreak.
I've got a ball and chrain. I've got a handbreak.
I've got you know, But Fabie this, you know, we
don't want to make the session about me. Although having
said that, Nat from joking, so Jason goes.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
You'd look less haggard if you live near the beach.
Speaker 1 (01:24):
I reckon, that's probably true, because the salt air would
be good for my skin. It's I hadn't used that
argument up until now, but I'm going to borrow that
and run with it and see how it goes for it. Right, So, Jason,
this is for you, Jason the Boss. You know Jason
the Boss?
Speaker 3 (01:37):
Yes, I know him well.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
First of all, the most important point to make it
he's wearing miss He's wearing mismatching pants and jacket today.
I mean, and he thought they were matching. I mean,
what do you do anyway?
Speaker 2 (01:50):
Is he getting ready for his appointment to the board.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
He's getting ready for his appointment to the board. He's
wearing his best mismatching pants and jacket.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
It does any claim that they did once match, but
it's just because he's worn one more than the other.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
Yeah, and that made it worse, made it worse. I
didn't want to embarrass its him off. So anyway, Jason,
before he put his mismatching suit on, went to the
rugby on whenever it was the Blues game he played.
He paid one hundred and two dollars for four tickets,
and he had the bouncy castle. He was on the
bouncy castle and his kids were on the bouncy castle.
(02:24):
And he claims there were more people in the cameras.
Don't shirt he reckons there were about fifteen thousand people
there and one hundred and two dollars. It was a
good night out.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
What do you say, Well, I mean great. You know,
I think that's reasonable. It's a one hundred and two
for a family of four. I thought you were going
to say he paid one hundred and two dollars for
his own tickets.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
No, if he had one hundred and ten dollars for
one ticket here by matching pants.
Speaker 3 (02:47):
No, you're right he would. He would have actually coordinated
his wardrobe a lot better than he has today. You know,
fifteen thousand of Eden Park. It's hard there, isn't it?
Because you still got what thirty thousand empty seats. There
were twenty thousand and Wellington on Saturday night too. It
was a terrific atmosphere. Yeah, I think super Rugby sort
(03:08):
of is getting to the point now where we've got
these games to look forward to. It won't be any
more games at even Park, obviously the Blues may have
one more week. I can't see them beating the Chiefs
in Hamilton on Saturday.
Speaker 1 (03:21):
Redge Blues to the Crusaders.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
And if they can't sell out these knockout games and
there is something f's no point. It didn't look like
fifteen on the TV screen.
Speaker 1 (03:29):
Well that's what he's saying. He's saying the cameras are
in the wrong place.
Speaker 2 (03:32):
So Jason, why do they block off a massive part
of Wellington Stadium and leave it empty rather than just
having people sit wherever they want to Because it looks
better on the telly if you squeeze it to give it.
Speaker 3 (03:44):
And also I think they.
Speaker 2 (03:45):
Then I'm starting levels in the Yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
For catering and security in that part of the ground.
I have to say that the more onea pacific of
fans on Saturday night were absolutely superb. We got to
the ground about five o'clock for our broadcast, and excuse me,
there was there was cues already at that stage of
mainly more out of Pacific of fans that've been amazing
haven't made the six obviously, but look, I think we
(04:10):
can all agree they've you know, they've come on and
leaps and bound.
Speaker 1 (04:13):
Sad question for you. I didn't realize this because I
don't follows this close. It this lucky loser bollocks who
came up with this? I mean, this is likely. It's
not a children's party. Oh you're the lucky loser. What's that?
Speaker 2 (04:25):
So? I think if if if the if the Chiefs
and the Crusaders win, correct, and and so then the
Hurricanes and Brumbies, it's pretty much a dead rubber because
they both go through.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Yes correct, yes, correct, So it's a pointless so.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
What it's a wine earth. Wouldn't you when you're planning
the tournament just go, you know what, we'll we'll decrease
it by a week. We'll just have two semi finals,
top four into the final. Easy to understand. The main
concern I think from the organizers that if they had
a top four, maybe one of the Australian teams would
make it. And there it goes to the Australian team much.
Speaker 1 (05:03):
They can practice harder and get better count they and
also the person who comes up with a phrase lucky
loser gets booted out of the meeting.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Forthwith what it also does, it means it means the
Chiefs are in the Semis regardless as well, doesn't it.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
It doesn't matter.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
Yes, if the Chiefs lose to the Blues, which they won't,
I think the Chiefs will win that game. But if
they were to lose, they know that they're straight into
the Semis, so it's an odd one.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
So they're sort of a lucky winner. So you get
a lucky winner a lucky loser.
Speaker 3 (05:30):
And yeah, they've done it so that they can have
three games in the first week of the finals. What
they should have done if they're having a top six
one and two goes straight to the Semis three v six,
four v five they go, and the winners of those
going into the Semis in the new final.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
So one sort of that sort of brain power. We
need to bet your pants match as well, Jason said
the Warriors. Just I mean, what a great game, ame,
high quality game, two really good sides. We were always
going to win. Bit of a comeback on all that
sort of stuff, But we deserve to be where we are.
Speaker 2 (06:02):
Yeah, sort of game you couldn't take, take your eyes off.
A defense was secondary for a lot of it though,
But no, no, they did well to hang on and
as we said many times, as she already might worry
as teams of the past would have lost a game
like that, Yeah, exactly, quite simply, it's a it's a
it's a big concern, great concern that Mitch Barnett's gone
(06:22):
for the season. Though he's one heck of a player.
He's going to really steal up the middle, and he's gone.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
So we fear we've we we've spent the entire season
without at least one or two decent.
Speaker 2 (06:31):
Play that's right. Fisher, Harris and Roger has been out,
and yeah, others have been out. They're encouraging signs here,
but but the Barnett's a big.
Speaker 1 (06:38):
Lossot, Why Jason, do they have the Raiders currently second
on the table but we're third when we've got played
one fewer games and we've got the same number of points.
That's not fair, is it? Do I need to write
to somebody?
Speaker 3 (06:51):
Well, I think you could, and I'm sure you'd have
a huge impact on the table if you did. I
think it points to differential.
Speaker 1 (06:57):
Is it, Well, I don't know what it is. All
I know is number of games we played in the
number of points we've got, and we've played one less
game than the Raiders and we've got the same number
of points. That makes us second, not third.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
Yeah, that's a good point.
Speaker 3 (07:09):
You would have been impressed with the kicking of Luke Metcalf, Mike,
no doubt.
Speaker 2 (07:13):
On the weekends.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
Now, see here's the thing. Sammy bet me fifty bucks.
Do you hear about the fifty dollars bet Jason?
Speaker 2 (07:19):
No?
Speaker 1 (07:20):
Okay, So as I leave work on Friday, Sammy goes
warrior is by fourteen plus, and obviously he's young, and
he's but you know, he wants to be sound like
he's enthusiastic and stuff like that, and so I go, no,
it will be fourteen under fifty bucks, hoping to put
him off because he's just bought a dog and he
doesn't have fifty dollars because he paid nine thousand dollars
(07:41):
for his dog, and.
Speaker 2 (07:42):
So right, did he pay you? Did you pay him?
Speaker 1 (07:46):
Or he said to us it to his credit. Well,
I didn't pay him because I won. Sam I said
fourteen under, I said fourteen or under? So he owes
me fifteen.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
When it comes to a bet with you, the rules,
the proper rules of society, don't it here. I'm still
way for my bottle of wine from what were you where?
You said they don't make wine in the Hunter Valley.
It was about seven years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:07):
I never said that.
Speaker 2 (08:09):
There was something. It was something.
Speaker 1 (08:10):
It was not that I've been to the Hunter Valley.
I've been to the Hunter Vlliyo. It's the wine region
of New South Wales.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
It was something. It was something like, well, you got
it completely wrong, like you said World War II started
in nineteen twenty one. That was about six years ago.
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Yeah, but I didn't have any money on that because
I didn't carry on anyway. No, my point, but we're
second in the competition. That's my that's my main point. Now,
yesterday you did either of you watch the Waring plea
yes or snippets? It was deliberate and should he have
been black flagged?
Speaker 3 (08:42):
Yes, yes, and yes, absolutely deliberate and yes he should
have been And but yeah, I see this morning is
issued a half apology Max for stepping It's pathetic, you
know what happened.
Speaker 2 (08:55):
It's very very half hearted.
Speaker 1 (08:57):
It diminishes from if you're one of the great which
he is, and everyone can have a bad day. I
get that, But it diminishes who you are in your standing,
doesn't it when when you behave the way he did yesterday?
You know you got to take You've got to take
the top days, good days.
Speaker 2 (09:13):
The greats do behavior. But like that, don't they shoe
Marcus Senner here?
Speaker 1 (09:17):
Well that was their argument that they can't handle the
feet all the possibility of defeat. But he's he.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
Just he's not the top He's not the top dog anymore,
really is he?
Speaker 1 (09:26):
He's the best driver, I think. I think if you
took a poll of the drivers that still argue he's
the best driver. He just doesn't have the best car.
Speaker 3 (09:33):
And that that car is a dog, isn't it. You
know it's only he's only getting it to where it
is getting to because he is magnet.
Speaker 1 (09:39):
Because he is good.
Speaker 3 (09:40):
They'll loose a notice soon, Mike, they'll get rid of
him to Yeah.
Speaker 1 (09:45):
But you can't. Here's a pop quiz. Has any team
ever changed two drivers in the same car in one season. Well,
there you go.
Speaker 2 (09:56):
I don't think so. Red Bull might be the first.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
No one can that car unless you're a genius.
Speaker 2 (10:02):
And they need to, they need to stab a stepping
down for a race or two. Don't they ban them
for a race?
Speaker 1 (10:08):
Well they well they can't. I mean, well they can.
He's on points. He gets one more point before the
end of June. I think he's banned for a race.
But you know, can you really afford to? And what
about Lance Strong? You see that goes and beats up
some people in the garage and he then quits and
walks off and he doesn't even race in the race?
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Is that about it?
Speaker 1 (10:25):
As Daddy's team, it's the problem, and it's the problem anyway.
Nice to see you guys.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Just just the difference in color? It is it a
wide difference in color.
Speaker 1 (10:35):
It's it's no, it's the unfortunate one. It's it's not
it's not like brown jacket. It's like, oh, you went
blue and black? Is that black and blue or blue
and black? It's got that about it. I don't know
what to say. It's awkward, Andrew. What can I say
as a person who looks as good as I do.
I mean, it's embarrassing to stand next to Nice.
Speaker 2 (10:56):
There used to be a bar and Brighton called Fat Charlie's.
They need to bring that beat.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
Are they? What happened to Fat Charlie's have a ball
to ride on?
Speaker 2 (11:03):
What happened? I think Charlie might have lift us somewhat
too short? It was great, thought it all right?
Speaker 1 (11:09):
Has has the team ever dropped two drivers in a season?
And what happened to Charlie Fat Charlie's Bar? They're the questions.
A look nice to see you, guys.
