Speaker 1 (00:00):
Go have eld Andrews Savile both well, this Fellows, Good
morning morning, Mike. Opening question, I'm standing in the kitchen yesterday, right,
what are you doing in the kitchen having breakfast? So
nothing untowards At this particular point, music goes slightly astray,
playlist goes off peace and there's a voice that comes
on the speakers that's not what we had programmed in.
(00:20):
I go to Katie, I go, is this Gordon Lightfoot?
And she looks it up on the list and goes,
oh my god, it's right. How did you know that?
And I said, because Gordon Lightfoot's got a fairly well
known voice and it's fairly easy to pick. She then
says who is Gordon Lightfoot? And I go to the
(00:40):
work Oh my god, And that particular conversation ensues. She
then says, ask Guy and Andrew, because they're my generation.
Sorry guy, they're my generation, and they if they know So, Guy,
have you heard of Gordon Lightfoot?
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Well, I've just aged thirty years, so that's tough to take.
I'm going to ask the same question, who is I
feel like I've heard the name, but I couldn't tell.
Speaker 3 (01:08):
You who he is. And now I have I think
I'm correct in saying his he wasn't a one hit wonder,
but he was pretty close. Was it? The wreck of
the d Gerald or.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Yep, probably is most famous, if you could famous, who
you reckon? This is more famous than this.
Speaker 2 (01:36):
The slightly more modern version of this is a lot
better than this.
Speaker 1 (01:40):
Who did the slightly more modern version I can't.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Remember, called Anastasia or something.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
It's a fantastic tune. He's got a very distinctive voice,
That's what I see. Have you got the wreck of
the Yeah?
Speaker 1 (01:58):
We need the wreck of I think that's the quintessential song.
If if he gets buried under one song, it's the
record them. Fitz Gerald's incredible.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
Now just from me. It's a very long tune. But
you're in the kitchen, your playliss switches to trackside radio
and you hear some clown giving inaccurate tip for the
fifth tyranny.
Speaker 2 (02:18):
OUI to be an accurate.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
So would just are you allowed to bet guy when
you're on television?
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Yeah? Yeah, but I don't tend to do a lot
because it's a bit going on.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
No.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
But as I'm like, you're getting a you're talking to
the jockey and you're going. You know, he can't tell
you what. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 3 (02:40):
Guy was that guy with the jockey.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
It's hard they both tell you what guy?
Speaker 3 (02:46):
Okay, mate?
Speaker 2 (02:47):
Go well?
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Is that how it goes on trackside radio?
Speaker 2 (02:51):
Something like that? The size?
Speaker 4 (02:57):
Now?
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Why are we here? I can't remember? That's right now?
A Super Rugby Andrew? What is the new.
Speaker 3 (03:02):
Zealand racing board? Can you email Mike not Hosk.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
I don't tend to do a lot of betting DearS anyway,
Super Rugby Andrew? What's these new rules? What's a lucky loser?
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Very good question.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
Because it's one play six, two plays five, three plays
four yes? And what's all this about?
Speaker 3 (03:29):
What's listen? The three winners go through yes, and the
highest seeded loser out of those six lucky loser out
of the highest seated loser out of the three losers,
goes through.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
So have we reached a new low for rugby in
this country?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Now? It's pretty close and lucky. Look, they had a
chance to strip this competition back a little bit. It's
down to eleven teams. Twelve was the magic number, probably
like Super twelve and the good old days where you
played it everybody once and then you had Semis in
a final not hard to understand, but done extremely well
and confusing the rugby audience. Set Again, this competition has
(04:09):
been through so many different iterations. This is just another
one and rugby needs a competition that's easy to understand
that its rules are difficult to understand. It needs a
competition that's easy to understand. This is because there are
six teams making the playoffs, primarily because they want an
Australian side, isn't it if it was top four you
(04:31):
probably only have four New Zealand teams make the semis.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Right, I agree with your point around they need to
stop changing the competition every year, But is it really
that hard to understand that the playoff system is not
that hard to understand? And in the same breath, I
think it's a good thing that if you finish top
and let's say you are to lose your quarterfinal or
whatever it's called, which would be rare, but if you
are to lose it, you get a second chance, so
(04:54):
you essentially get rewarded for being the top team in
the competition. I think that's a smart thing.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
The force the force this team could lose and still
go through.
Speaker 2 (05:04):
Yeah, I suppose that's true. I mean yeah, And the
fact that sixteens go through an eleven team competition, that's ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
When more than half the field qualifies for the playoffs,
that's insane.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
And I get it. In the NRL with the two
top teams or top four teams get a life, right,
I get that because they've earned that. This is completely different,
although maybe.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
A slightly better. At the moment. It's eight out of twelve,
So what's better six of eleven or eight of twelve?
Speaker 1 (05:26):
I don't know what are the odds on that?
Speaker 3 (05:28):
Guy?
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Good question.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
The legend lesson from the Chip on down the big league.
Speaker 1 (05:34):
They can get Chagoumi.
Speaker 3 (05:38):
They don't write them like this any.
Speaker 1 (05:43):
Scares of Novemberton Loomy a lot of Sundown action, and
I think I'd change my view on that. Sundown is
probably the greatest song of his. But I mean, we're
rolling them out here, guy.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
Aren't we? We really?
Speaker 3 (05:58):
So it's good of all.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Yeah, you can't forget about Sunday who did the model
version of Sundown.
Speaker 3 (06:03):
I got hope when I mentioned that he might have
been in one won or I'll take that.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Back, Yeah, take that back. Right now, it's like one
of you random sports boom.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
Has your production team had any messages from the Small
People's Association of US.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
We just put it in the pile of complaints as
ever growing now the America's Cup. Are you following it
guy or not?
Speaker 3 (06:31):
Not? Really?
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Like I'm following it, but I haven't got up to
watch any of it. I've watched the odd piece of highlights.
I see it's at the semi final stage and a
couple of Cruis are about to go out. But to
be honest, and I think I said this the other
week when we were talking about it, when once it
gets to the actual America's Cup, I might have an
interest it.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Right now, it's it's it's the Ins and Lunar Ross
are both up four, so it's a three.
Speaker 2 (06:53):
Yeah, so one sided.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Yeah, it's the problem. And we don't know that Lunar
Ross and then he Os won't go you know, five,
Milo or Nilla whatever they race off against them. We
don't know that when they actually comes to the America's Cup,
it won't be something Nill as well?
Speaker 3 (07:05):
Do we At the moment, you'd have to assume Luna
Ross is a hot favorite to race team Inzeed. You'd
hope in the America's Cup that there's some good competition.
When they raced out here, all raced in auckland Off
on the Gulf, I remember some good jewels and some
racing and some tight racing. That's just not happening.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
But it's not.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
I was talking to a colleague yesterday and they put
it pretty well. They've out technologied themselves. There's too much
technology now in the sense that all they've kind of
cared about is making it so technologically advanced that these
boats go so fast that it feels like they have
taken the competition side of things out of it. You know,
they're never going to go back to the day where
(07:43):
the boats were slow and you had to hoist the
spinnaker and you had to drag the sail through the
water and you could lose thirty seconds doing that. Whatever
it might be, they're never going to go back to that.
But they have seemingly lost a lot of the competitive factor.
Once a team wins the Star and gets out of
the start box, the race is more more often than
not over.
Speaker 1 (08:01):
I would never go back, but you can't beat a tacking.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
Jill, that's right. Correctly, the grinders and attacking and yes,
those days have moved on, but they were and they
were very long races. I think we that but yeah,
but at least and in some of them you saw
some amazing attacking.
Speaker 1 (08:19):
Jewels birthdays during some of those races.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Right. And that's the other That is the other fact
that we don't have Pj's voice.
Speaker 1 (08:28):
No, And that's that's it's it's not the same. You know,
call me fish, yeah, but it isn't the same. How
well built is David Nieker?
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Extremely well? I said on a couch and a hotel
lobby was in last.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
Week, right just before no I was doing an interview, right,
I must admit I did suck it in through the
eighteen minute interview as the Abbs took a fair hammering.
Speaker 2 (08:56):
How many abs are we talking about here?
Speaker 1 (08:57):
Andrew?
Speaker 3 (08:59):
If you look at its close not that I said
at my desk all day looking at images of David Nika,
but if you look close to he's got eight yeah,
eight muscles. I've got like a twenty four pack at
the moment. But it's coming down.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
Yes, he's in phenomenal shape and I'm glad he won't.
I hope he's back. Hey, listen to either of you
guys seeing the f one this morning? Yes, it's tell
me just hand on hart guy, is that the best
race you've seen or not?
Speaker 2 (09:26):
Well? I was about to say, how many times have
we said.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
This season that is getting better and better?
Speaker 2 (09:30):
But this is the best rash of the season. It
had it all. And then I mean, how can people
seem to be saying that the Peers and Signs crash,
that Signs was that fault? How anyone can that it's fault, yes, Signs?
Oh no, no, sorry, it's Signs's fault.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
No, it's not. Pier has had plenty of room to
move and he didn't have to get tagged, and Signs
was in front and he couldn't see it. So it's
it's on period.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
If you watch the on board, he literally pulls his
steering wheel to the left and go straight into Peries
into the.
Speaker 3 (10:02):
War, right, scientist, what's McLaren done?
Speaker 1 (10:07):
The upgrades and the other the other car the Red
Bulls aren't as competitive, and I wouldn't underestimate the sheer
skill of both Norris and Pastri. I think if you
look at Piastre and what he did to get to
the lead this morning. That's as good a driver as
you will see an F one anywhere anytime.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
Anyhow, It's fantastic for the for the competition, isn't it.
Speaker 1 (10:28):
Well McLaren are now leading Red Bull.
Speaker 2 (10:30):
Yes, it's about to say and that's huge, and I
think we've said it in the last few weeks as well.
The pressure now has to massively go on Christian Horner
in terms of keeping his job.
Speaker 1 (10:38):
We were talking about that, I said to Sam earlier on.
I said, not necessarily, because he's won previously, so that
record counts. It might count against him because they don't
like him because of the way he's behaved during the season,
plus the fact all these other people, including new We
have gone, so he may be a sacrificial lamb. But
you know, just because you lose one season doesn't mean
you get sacked. But it's it's what it means is
(10:58):
it's gripping.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
Who is it from where you were? Yeah, I mean
they've completely lost their way in the space of about
half a dozen races.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
And Liam Lawson this weekend apparently posting.
Speaker 3 (11:09):
I was supposed to be this weekend now next week
and we'll wait.
Speaker 1 (11:11):
To see, but I think it's good news.
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Fingers fingers crossed. If one. Drivers are quite smaller set,
you do they talk.
Speaker 1 (11:18):
Like no, no, well they talk with accents, of course,
and some of them you can't you can't understand. But
I think I've done enough accents for one morning.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Andrew, it's always it's always great to catch up with
both of you guys.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Gonna get guys, going to get back down to the
stables with his Rothman's and turf dikees. I will let
him go. Eh.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Good to see Andrew Seville Guy Havelt.
