Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:01):
Darcy water Grave Sports Talk coasters back, that's still it does,
Headed dupless Allen, host of the eponymous program, Headed Duplessiellen Drive.

Speaker 2 (00:09):
Now we know who we are. How are you? Your
vocab is always surprisingly large, is it? Yeah? Why do
you say that? I'm well read? Yeah, but you're still
a bogan.

Speaker 1 (00:20):
Yeah, I'm still a bogan at the v ATE's my
singlets and my bogan and chokes all the hours a
packer lung dats' lung DUTs? Hey, how are we looking
for that T twenty tonight? Well, the weather apparently it's
going to be okay, we'll see. I think that this
three match series will be one two to one to
the weather. And Ossie made with the first one. It's

(00:43):
not looking good over the weekend, but look seven fifteen,
it's not poor scorn upon it nor rain. The worst
thing about this is one of the potential greats of
the game, if you read, but everyone's written in Indeed.

Speaker 2 (00:54):
You've seen him better in Revenger. And he slashed his face.

Speaker 1 (00:59):
It was diving for a catch, I believe, and he
hits a bit of advertising hoarding what here he I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:08):
Know why, but I went underwater diving for a catch.
It sounded like he was diving for.

Speaker 1 (01:13):
A fish catch. Now I understand though, how badly did
he cut it spear fishing?

Speaker 2 (01:18):
Yeah, quite bad. I'd say it's gonna tried right through
his cheek. Well, they say it is a major laceration.
Beautiful face to have cut as well. Okay, yeah, I'll
just take your word on that one, Heather.

Speaker 1 (01:32):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
Wait, we're more concerned about his ability in the park. Gone,
but gone for the whole series. It must be a
spurious laceration.

Speaker 1 (01:41):
That's and it's a team that's lost some of its
heavy headers anyway, Mitchell Santa's not there. Came Williamson and
turned up, but there's no surprise for that. Quin Phillips
is a gone burger, so he not around me.

Speaker 2 (01:54):
So there's it's lacking.

Speaker 1 (01:56):
But in saying that, the depth of New Zealand's short
version cricket is what it's we're talking about fishing, spear fishing.

Speaker 2 (02:04):
It's Marianna trench, trench deep. I'd say there's a lot
of very sharp players for this is the on side.
So how they come against the old foe I will
find it at seven fifteen. That's when that starts.

Speaker 1 (02:17):
You can listen to that with those reckless fellow Bogans,
the accos to their commentrys as loose as they come.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
And then the white fans.

Speaker 1 (02:26):
Yeah, that's at ten thirty tonight and they too are
playing Australia. It's the opening game of the Women's World Cup.
And I was working for rock radio last time. The
white fencel you just you're just reinhorsing your Bogan credentials. Yeah, yeah, no, no, no,
you know, I've cut my teeth in rock radio and

(02:48):
a couple of different rock radio stations on my dad.
See I've got the voice right, yeah, see bird Bogan
and chokes and darts.

Speaker 2 (02:56):
But it's such a long time ago. The social media
feed the are the white fans. It's been amazing.

Speaker 1 (03:00):
But when they announced the team, they're corresponding numbers from
that twenty twenty team, handed the jerseys out, they had
it all on little Instagram feed.

Speaker 2 (03:10):
It was cool, so nice.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Melie kurz johining the show tonight to talk about this
game gets underway at ten thirty up against the Ossie.
She's definitely one of the senior members of the team.
She's so senior in fact, She's hasn't even turned twenty five.

Speaker 2 (03:24):
Wow, that's incredible life fact. She was even born when
they last won the World's Cuts.
