Speaker 1 (00:03):
Oh yeah, here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the unnamed podcast for Monday, the second of December
twenty twenty four years December, yesh, yes.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
In December. So officially we are in the zone of
kicking any sort of responsibility into twenty five even to February.
Kick it to fair because no one's onything in jam
are they Nah, Very little goes on in January. This
is great.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I think that's the thing about New Zealand. And that's
the thing about the Southern Hemisphere different than the Northern hemisphere.
So with the Southern Hemisphere, obviously you've got the end
of year and the big Christmas holiday that comes up,
so everyone has to have everything done by sort of
December mid December, and then after that everything shuts down
in New Zealand unless it's a tourist thing.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
It's end of the school year as well, because in
Europe into the school year is midyear.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, that's right into the school year. And then and
then you kick it through and then people kind of
start dribbling back into work probably the tenth fifteenth, the
twentieth of January, but nothing really gets done half days. Yes,
beautiful time of year to be going off work early
maybe you head down to the beach something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Grab some lunch ship and then February.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Then you've got the Then you've got the holidays that
come up in February. You've got White Thing, and you've
got your Auckland Anniversary and your Wellington anniversary the week
before that, and a whole lot of other anniversaries. So
it's not probably till mid feb Yeah, maybe early March.
Is that the thing with the southern hemisphere because in
the Northern Hemisphere, this period of Christmas is a completely
(01:31):
different thing.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It's only a maximum a week off maximum between Christmas
and New Year, Yep, that is it. So from the
twenty fourth of December to the first of jan that's
the only holiday people take. Yeah, that's it, and you're
back to work. You're back to work on jan second
or third. When I was over there, that's what you did.
The big holidays with your target were kind of July
August when the end of the school year. Yep, school holidays,
(01:54):
that's what your target. And now even then there's only three.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Weeks, but things don't stop the same, no, you know,
so I reckon it's actually a really because Christmas is
meant to be a Winter Solstice celebration, So that's a
whole idea of everybody being inside and having a meal
and you know, present giving and all that sort of stuff.
It's an inside thing that's meant to last a couple
(02:17):
of days. Ours extends out over Christmas and New Year
is the same thing. And because of that, it's just
such a different thing.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I reckon it screws us.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, well, the product devity must die. I mean, we're
a ten month a year business operation, aren't because for
two months we're checked out. I mean there's departments I
know within where we work and they have a brown out.
They call it a brown out, so it's not a
full blackout, but it's a brown out where and you
don't accept any more work until the end of the year.
(02:54):
So we're not taking any more work until the end
of the year because we can't deal with it. It's
a brown out. And I was like, I love be
able to do that, just issue a brown out. So
at the ACC we officially announced that we're doing a
double brown out. So if you want to do any
work with us between now and New Year's Eve, you
have to stand in front of us and Boff double
brown dough Bro and then we'll talk to you. So
(03:14):
we've got the double double brown out.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's quite good.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, that's quite handy. Haven't had a dough bro for
a while.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Actually, they're good.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's a good four percenter.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It's a great fishing beer and a great golf beer,
as is the Export Ultras. You look kind of around
that four percent. Whereas you don't want to be crafting
on a boat. You don't want to be crafted on
a golf course because you're talking a four or five
hour period where you've still got to keep your wits
about you. Whereas you're looking at that four percent range,
it's a real's that's your goaldielocks on.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The my best golf I've played in the last sort
of two years.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It was on quite a.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Few of those expert Ultras when we played at the Mount.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Oh, that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And I knocked my first beer just before the first hole,
and then by a whole number four. I reckonize not
about number four.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
We also have the teeth. Time was they interested early.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Six forty A.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Golf courses are like airports. There is no time zone.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
No exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And I played that just relaxed into it and played
my best golf.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
But also you've got to relieve yourself on a golf course,
and that's it's great to be a guy when you're
on a golf course because you can basically sidle up
to any sort of tree and you know, relieve yourself.
Whereas there's not a lot of toilets.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, certainly not at your golf course. What's mytha?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
No? None, I mean, I can't believe they haven't got one.
But because that's a work.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
If you're a female, what do you do.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You got to wait for the turn, You've got to
come back to the turn to run into the clubhouse,
which which I suppose. I mean, then admittedly they know
that they're not pounding a dozen Expra Ultras on the
front nine.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. I think.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I think that's that's where the problems lie for us.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, a little bit, A little bit. I mean, look,
I mean I played Tata recently, lucky enough for November
to go down there, and jeez, that was a heady
eighteen holes and even heatya nineteen holes. The nineteenth was
who it was? It was interesting, Yeah, it was whiskey.
There was whiskey coming out there were there was all
sorts and getting beers delivered to you on the course.
(05:10):
Like in America they have it's all about just having beers.
They've got carts that come around. Most holes would have
got a bar, cash bar on board, a fridge on it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
They did for us and I think it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, remember when we used to play in the New
Zealand Cricket end of year celebration and they normally had
that in like April or something. Yeah, and and remember
on that day, oh that was the New zealm was
that the Players Association Players Association And I remember Bears
McCullum coming around. He was in a golf cart one
year because I think he was injured and so he
(05:45):
couldn't play, he couldn't walk the course, but he was
just cruising around just giving out beers in the back
of the car.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It was just sensational, was that they was at the
time that we were with the fucking mana Express and you said,
why don't you bowl me? You bowl me a golf
ball and I will be batting with my six iron
or something. Yeah, I was my putter, Yeah, your putter,
And he goes and I remember saying, you man, just
send it down, send it down, because otherwise it's not
gonna it's not look any good on socials if you
(06:10):
don't send it down. And he sent it down and
got you straight in the shin.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah. I tried to work him through midwicket.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I saw it the whole way, and I was just like,
that's just that's that's bread and butter for me. Through midwicket.
Just got a little he got a little straight. But
unfortunately I was playing with the shaft of a putter. Yeah,
and look, I'd probably not be able to hit it
even if I had a full with bat, and it
got me right and underneath in the shin, Yeah, just
underneath the knee. It was just underneath the kneecap there
(06:41):
where you've got nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It pegged off.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
He's the same kind of energy as the guy that
you were talking about on the SEC covers over the weekend,
boys that once got a little bit wasted and then
took a shirt off and started taking you know, cricket
balls to the shinder, stunts to the chest. Yeah, it's
got a similar kind of energy.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I know I did that. You know that's I could
see we hear the similarities lie, but there was still
two different things going on.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Ryan had done a little bit of keeping in the past,
but some of the pace that was getting delivered it
he was not quite prepared for and also had prepared
himself a little bit too much in another area and
so as a resulted. But when he was just taking
it to the body, yeah, I've never seen that before,
someone just putting their full chest ups. Ah.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
It was like happy Gilmour a skin and happy Gilmourt
when he's training to know ice hockey and he gets
in front of the baseball cage. It was like that
with cricket balls behind the behind the wickets. Also that
game with the fucking Manter Express. I remember we got
an absolute dressing down for slowing down the course, you remember,
And then by the time we finished, it was dark
and we teed off on our last whole shotgun start
and I remember all of us teed off. No one
(07:45):
found the ball. It disappeared into the night sky and
it's called It was that the same year.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That it was you in Vry versus.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Me and Halty.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh yes, and talked out of the last part.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And I felt like for Torri was there as well,
and I slids him out of You missed that. There's
a lot of pressure on him. Yeah, and we ended
up taking it on the last hole.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, there was crumpled under the pressure.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Absolutely, and a bottle of tequila, yes, which we started drinking.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Sinces were up.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Anyway, we'll come back with more antics in just a moment.
Oh yeah, I've been twerking all more into this.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But you do it on Monday when you've you know,
you've got the remnants of the bag full of dingers
that you smashed in the weekend, and it's only really
Tuesday that things start to wear off, you start to
sopped out, and you probably want to just end it all.
That's right. So Tuesdays and Mondays are okay. Mondays are
usually pretty good because you've still got a little bit
in the system, and you know, but Tuesdaysuesday, Wednesdays even
these days, yeah, Wednesdays and.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Can kick over.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It depends on whether it's a Friday night or a
Saturday night. If it's the Saturday night, you might get
a little bit of glow over into into the Monday,
and then, as you said, Tuesday's tough. Wednesday can also
be difficult. Wednesday morning. But if it's the Friday night
you should.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Be all done.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And Tuesday, yeah, you'd hope.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So Sarah starting to come back there.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You just don't find it a bit tough getting up
every morning. That's how I feel you not so much.
But I think that's because you're young.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I just feel like, you know, why am I learning this?
It's the point, you know, that kind of gear. I
feel that every morning. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, So I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I don't know if it's got anything to do directly
with you know, the Friday night situation and general.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
But just the people that you're waking up too and
getting up.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Maybe I shore didn't to know that you've got to
get up and then and then face me, you know
every day.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, to face this, that's a good point. Sort of
thing can be difficult. It can be difficult. What did
you boys get to get up to this weekend? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'll create commentary A lot of a lot of commentary,
that's good, A lot of cricket. Yeah, great, yep, that's
pretty much it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, did you end up seeing the rock Boys in
the end? Yeah? Ie? With that very good. We hung
out we have our yearly yearly lunch suck off. Yep, yep,
do all that. And it wasn't too It wasn't too late.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
We started at twelve, we ended at about twelve thirty one.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
O'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh no, that was very reasonable, very very measured, very controlled.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Did nobody bled out of their eyes? How is Meddi?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Meddi was good? Medi was in med he was and
grateful Medi not getting up and actually speaking of not
getting up in the morning. So now he doesn't get
up in the mornings. Yeah, he's got quite a lot
of energy, right, He's got to remember he was basically
had kind of narcillipsey. Yeah, so sometimes we'd be commentating.
Next thing, you know, you'd look over and he'd be asleep.
Not anymore, he is he is BD. He has got
(10:42):
not wouldn't describe it as.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Just be e bde, but he's definitely got.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
He's he's not hesn't got.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
A narclipses think going on anymore. It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
How much slip do you boys get at night.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Ten?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Wake up at five seven?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, that's pretty good, iminator. I need to get I
need to get it. Although on Saturday I did statu
till two thirty in the morning with Paul Stuart Ford,
Newson's premier sort drinking wine till too thirty in the
morning up at sexon into the commentary.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Did start yours of the weekend? He did?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Did?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Lee Baker also came over for a glass of wine
and deconstructed our cheeseboard systematically. Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It was good.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Actually, Lee had some he had some great stories. We
got the behind the scenes story of the Mike King
message on his phone. Oh stuff it was he got
He got it basically got interrogated by Paul Stuart Ford
and a couple of others.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Has he still got the message?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yes? Is he?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Because you can't find it anywhere online or any.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, we tried to do that, but he's still got
it in the archive somewhere. But yeah, he told us
the sort of tale of that and potentially New Zealand's
first ever viral yeah content.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, it's pretty freaky winning because obviously I was involved
in that too. What happened was just if you don't know,
pre social media, pre social media, we used to just
do a show called any Media Lunch. We had a
cartoonist who used to work on the show. We independently
commission him to do cartoons, wouldn't really have anything to
(12:14):
do with him. His names Anthony Ellison, and he'd do
a cartoon. He had a cartoon called Media Dog, and
the Media Dog would make comments, a very cynical kind
of dog character who would make comments about things that
were going on in the media. He did a cartoon
about Mike King that was not overly positive about Mike King,
(12:34):
and it had a dog watching TV and then Mike
King doing jokes on the TV and the dog not
laughing at all, and at the end it's the dog
then urinated himself and then said, oh, look, I just
manufactured some p and Mike King took exception to that.
(12:55):
I think actually he was overseas at the time. I
don't know about I don't know that for sure, but
I think he was overseas. Maybe one of his friends
called him up and said, I think they're saying something
about you on the show, Mike. He maybe watched it
or somehow knew that Lee Baker worked on it. Lee
Baker knew him from comedy Circles. He had Lee Baker's
phone number, so he then called Lee Baker and left
(13:17):
a message on Lee's answer phone. Lee came into Hitting
media lunch with the answer phone message and here that
I've just got the most insane message from Mike King
on my phone and played it to us and we
all went, holy crap. It was quite a full on
message where Mike King basically threatened to beat us all up.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And then.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I think from there, the way it went viral was
that I was working at the time at BFM, and
I was up there and I played it to someone
at BFM. We're just playing it to people because it's like, Hey,
have you listen to Mike King going crazy? Mike King's
really getting angry here on this message. And because he
wasn't a super popular figure at that time, Mike King,
(14:03):
he'd made a lot of enemies with people in comedy
circles just being a bit of a prack at times.
And I think he will accept that he was a
bit of a preak in those days. And then I
played it some of the song said could I could
I have it or something? Or could I play it
on air? Could I play it somewhere? No, We're never
(14:24):
going to play it on air, but they just wanted it.
And then I said, yep, sure, but don't give it
to anyone, and then that person, then that person then
sends it to one person, and then within two hours
it was I had a guy from three News calling
me saying this Mike King message, it's everywhere. I was like,
(14:44):
oh my heart sunk. I was like, oh no, this
is a disaster. And then it was on the news
that night.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yes, early, that was one of the that's the first
viral because it went only via email, didn't it Old
school email and emails even then were not.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Exactly you know, unfortunate irony there for Mike as well,
in the sense that he was, you know, the cartoon
was perhaps saying something about his tendencies and then to
react in such a way. It's not really doing yourself
any favors here, was it.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I'm not sure where he's ever. I think he's publicly
said that that was a time when he was possibly
taking drugs. I'm not sure he's said what he was taking. Okay,
I'm not sure that whether that's public information, but he
definitely said that he was going through a bad patch
in his life whatever, and sort of that was the
(15:35):
that was the.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
The dere moment.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
So we covered that off to the wee hours of
the morning again, so raked over the coals and then
Lee Baker walked home. I'm not sure how long Tom
to walk home, you.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Live in the north Shore. And then I'm pretty sure
he's over the side of the bridge.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I believe so, oh yeah, I know. I think he
was staying with his sister. It was just it was
just down the road. But he said it was his
sister was I think I'm not too sure, but.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I haven't made like that. Yeah, the same thing, his
sister living in a different place.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Now, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That one is.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh, that sounds like a good time. What about call
Stuart Forty is the best of us?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Good to see him briefly.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
He is the best of us. He's back on commentary
for the third test. He's like he's got he's a
man with priorities. Because I said, can you commentate the
basin reserve tests? He said, name, get fucked. I'm going
to watch it. I'm going to go to the ground.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He told a story yesterday about about when he proposed
to his partner Tracy, and that it was at the
basement reserve and and how he never missed a game
of cricket. And even despite that he was I think
he missed his own engagement party or something to go
to the cricket And someone who was on the commentary
(16:52):
is like, I think it was Actually Jason Hoyt was like,
oh great, your wife must have been really pleased that
you that you you know, proposed at the cricket and
and that you missed missed your thing. And he said, no,
she's a massive cricket fan.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I don't think he could.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Quite get his hit around that, yeah, and pull forward
to that's that's the reason that I married her, because
she's the only person, only girl at that stage that
over met who liked cricket as much as mate. And
Jason Concord gives hit around that.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Well, he's not a big listeners, so it wouldn't have
got through the fact that. Yeah, no, I think because
I know the lovely Tracy and she is the biggest
cricket fan, so she'd quite happily pulled the kids out
and go to the five days at the base and
pull him out of school go to the base.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
She loves it.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, Which they're a match made in heaven.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I feel like we all need some Tracy in our lives.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Absolutely, she's the.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Best of us. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I feel like Jason Hoyt doesn't even love cricket anymore though,
you know, so that's probably hit around that. It wasn't
the fact that a woman liked cricket. I think it
was more of the fact that anyone loves cricket.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It was dark yesterday, but I think it was because
he forgot his nic career. He's more focused on getting
that's off.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I've noticed it's like anything. He's like anything. He'll come
in for the big show and he's planning his exit.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yep, how can we get out of here? He's like
hosting and all great broadcasters, that's what they.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Do, planning your exit.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Always got your exit planned, yep, yep, that's part of it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Just like me right now. Really
Oh yeah, here we go.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
It's the unnamed podcast for Monday, the second of December
twenty twenty four years December, yesh, yes.
Speaker 3 (00:11):
In December. So officially we are in the zone of
kicking any sort of responsibility into twenty five even to February.
Kick it to fair because no one's onything in jam
are they Nah, Very little goes on in January. This
is great.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I think that's the thing about New Zealand. And that's
the thing about the Southern Hemisphere different than the Northern hemisphere.
So with the Southern Hemisphere, obviously you've got the end
of year and the big Christmas holiday that comes up,
so everyone has to have everything done by sort of
December mid December, and then after that everything shuts down
in New Zealand unless it's a tourist thing.
Speaker 3 (00:43):
It's end of the school year as well, because in
Europe into the school year is midyear.
Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, that's right into the school year. And then and
then you kick it through and then people kind of
start dribbling back into work probably the tenth fifteenth, the
twentieth of January, but nothing really gets done half days. Yes,
beautiful time of year to be going off work early
maybe you head down to the beach something like that.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
Grab some lunch ship and then February.
Speaker 2 (01:10):
Then you've got the Then you've got the holidays that
come up in February. You've got White Thing, and you've
got your Auckland Anniversary and your Wellington anniversary the week
before that, and a whole lot of other anniversaries. So
it's not probably till mid feb Yeah, maybe early March.
Is that the thing with the southern hemisphere because in
the Northern Hemisphere, this period of Christmas is a completely
(01:31):
different thing.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
It's only a maximum a week off maximum between Christmas
and New Year, Yep, that is it. So from the
twenty fourth of December to the first of jan that's
the only holiday people take. Yeah, that's it, and you're
back to work. You're back to work on jan second
or third. When I was over there, that's what you did.
The big holidays with your target were kind of July
August when the end of the school year. Yep, school holidays,
(01:54):
that's what your target. And now even then there's only three.
Speaker 2 (01:57):
Weeks, but things don't stop the same, no, you know,
so I reckon it's actually a really because Christmas is
meant to be a Winter Solstice celebration, So that's a
whole idea of everybody being inside and having a meal
and you know, present giving and all that sort of stuff.
It's an inside thing that's meant to last a couple
(02:17):
of days. Ours extends out over Christmas and New Year
is the same thing. And because of that, it's just
such a different thing.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
I reckon it screws us.
Speaker 3 (02:32):
Yeah, well, the product devity must die. I mean, we're
a ten month a year business operation, aren't because for
two months we're checked out. I mean there's departments I
know within where we work and they have a brown out.
They call it a brown out, so it's not a
full blackout, but it's a brown out where and you
don't accept any more work until the end of the year.
(02:54):
So we're not taking any more work until the end
of the year because we can't deal with it. It's
a brown out. And I was like, I love be
able to do that, just issue a brown out. So
at the ACC we officially announced that we're doing a
double brown out. So if you want to do any
work with us between now and New Year's Eve, you
have to stand in front of us and Boff double
brown dough Bro and then we'll talk to you. So
(03:14):
we've got the double double brown out.
Speaker 1 (03:16):
It's quite good.
Speaker 2 (03:18):
Yeah, that's quite handy. Haven't had a dough bro for
a while.
Speaker 1 (03:20):
Actually, they're good.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
It's a good four percenter.
Speaker 1 (03:23):
You know.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
It's a great fishing beer and a great golf beer,
as is the Export Ultras. You look kind of around
that four percent. Whereas you don't want to be crafting
on a boat. You don't want to be crafted on
a golf course because you're talking a four or five
hour period where you've still got to keep your wits
about you. Whereas you're looking at that four percent range,
it's a real's that's your goaldielocks on.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:44):
The my best golf I've played in the last sort
of two years.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
It was on quite a.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Few of those expert Ultras when we played at the Mount.
Speaker 3 (03:52):
Oh, that's right.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
And I knocked my first beer just before the first hole,
and then by a whole number four. I reckonize not
about number four.
Speaker 3 (03:58):
We also have the teeth. Time was they interested early.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Six forty A.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Golf courses are like airports. There is no time zone.
Speaker 1 (04:04):
No exactly.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
And I played that just relaxed into it and played
my best golf.
Speaker 1 (04:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
But also you've got to relieve yourself on a golf course,
and that's it's great to be a guy when you're
on a golf course because you can basically sidle up
to any sort of tree and you know, relieve yourself.
Whereas there's not a lot of toilets.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
No, certainly not at your golf course. What's mytha?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
No? None, I mean, I can't believe they haven't got one.
But because that's a work.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
If you're a female, what do you do.
Speaker 3 (04:32):
You got to wait for the turn, You've got to
come back to the turn to run into the clubhouse,
which which I suppose. I mean, then admittedly they know
that they're not pounding a dozen Expra Ultras on the
front nine.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. I think.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I think that's that's where the problems lie for us.
Speaker 3 (04:49):
Yeah, a little bit, A little bit. I mean, look,
I mean I played Tata recently, lucky enough for November
to go down there, and jeez, that was a heady
eighteen holes and even heatya nineteen holes. The nineteenth was
who it was? It was interesting, Yeah, it was whiskey.
There was whiskey coming out there were there was all
sorts and getting beers delivered to you on the course.
(05:10):
Like in America they have it's all about just having beers.
They've got carts that come around. Most holes would have
got a bar, cash bar on board, a fridge on it.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
They did for us and I think it's awesome.
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Well, remember when we used to play in the New
Zealand Cricket end of year celebration and they normally had
that in like April or something. Yeah, and and remember
on that day, oh that was the New zealm was
that the Players Association Players Association And I remember Bears
McCullum coming around. He was in a golf cart one
year because I think he was injured and so he
(05:45):
couldn't play, he couldn't walk the course, but he was
just cruising around just giving out beers in the back
of the car.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
It was just sensational, was that they was at the
time that we were with the fucking mana Express and you said,
why don't you bowl me? You bowl me a golf
ball and I will be batting with my six iron
or something. Yeah, I was my putter, Yeah, your putter,
And he goes and I remember saying, you man, just
send it down, send it down, because otherwise it's not
gonna it's not look any good on socials if you
(06:10):
don't send it down. And he sent it down and
got you straight in the shin.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
Yeah. I tried to work him through midwicket.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
I saw it the whole way, and I was just like,
that's just that's that's bread and butter for me. Through midwicket.
Just got a little he got a little straight. But
unfortunately I was playing with the shaft of a putter. Yeah,
and look, I'd probably not be able to hit it
even if I had a full with bat, and it
got me right and underneath in the shin, Yeah, just
underneath the knee. It was just underneath the kneecap there
(06:41):
where you've got nothing.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
It pegged off.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
He's the same kind of energy as the guy that
you were talking about on the SEC covers over the weekend,
boys that once got a little bit wasted and then
took a shirt off and started taking you know, cricket
balls to the shinder, stunts to the chest. Yeah, it's
got a similar kind of energy.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
I know I did that. You know that's I could
see we hear the similarities lie, but there was still
two different things going on.
Speaker 2 (07:05):
Ryan had done a little bit of keeping in the past,
but some of the pace that was getting delivered it
he was not quite prepared for and also had prepared
himself a little bit too much in another area and
so as a resulted. But when he was just taking
it to the body, yeah, I've never seen that before,
someone just putting their full chest ups. Ah.
Speaker 3 (07:23):
It was like happy Gilmour a skin and happy Gilmourt
when he's training to know ice hockey and he gets
in front of the baseball cage. It was like that
with cricket balls behind the behind the wickets. Also that
game with the fucking Manter Express. I remember we got
an absolute dressing down for slowing down the course, you remember,
And then by the time we finished, it was dark
and we teed off on our last whole shotgun start
and I remember all of us teed off. No one
(07:45):
found the ball. It disappeared into the night sky and
it's called It was that the same year.
Speaker 2 (07:51):
That it was you in Vry versus.
Speaker 1 (07:56):
Me and Halty.
Speaker 3 (07:57):
Oh yes, and talked out of the last part.
Speaker 2 (07:59):
And I felt like for Torri was there as well,
and I slids him out of You missed that. There's
a lot of pressure on him. Yeah, and we ended
up taking it on the last hole.
Speaker 3 (08:08):
Yeah, there was crumpled under the pressure.
Speaker 2 (08:10):
Absolutely, and a bottle of tequila, yes, which we started drinking.
Speaker 1 (08:15):
Sinces were up.
Speaker 2 (08:16):
Anyway, we'll come back with more antics in just a moment.
Oh yeah, I've been twerking all more into this.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
But you do it on Monday when you've you know,
you've got the remnants of the bag full of dingers
that you smashed in the weekend, and it's only really
Tuesday that things start to wear off, you start to
sopped out, and you probably want to just end it all.
That's right. So Tuesdays and Mondays are okay. Mondays are
usually pretty good because you've still got a little bit
in the system, and you know, but Tuesdaysuesday, Wednesdays even
these days, yeah, Wednesdays and.
Speaker 1 (08:48):
Can kick over.
Speaker 2 (08:48):
It depends on whether it's a Friday night or a
Saturday night. If it's the Saturday night, you might get
a little bit of glow over into into the Monday,
and then, as you said, Tuesday's tough. Wednesday can also
be difficult. Wednesday morning. But if it's the Friday night
you should.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
Be all done.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
And Tuesday, yeah, you'd hope.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
So Sarah starting to come back there.
Speaker 2 (09:08):
You just don't find it a bit tough getting up
every morning. That's how I feel you not so much.
But I think that's because you're young.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I just feel like, you know, why am I learning this?
It's the point, you know, that kind of gear. I
feel that every morning. Oh yeah, okay, yeah, So I
don't know.
Speaker 4 (09:23):
I don't know if it's got anything to do directly
with you know, the Friday night situation and general.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
But just the people that you're waking up too and
getting up.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
That's a good point.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Maybe I shore didn't to know that you've got to
get up and then and then face me, you know
every day.
Speaker 1 (09:36):
Yeah, to face this, that's a good point. Sort of
thing can be difficult. It can be difficult. What did
you boys get to get up to this weekend? Anyway?
Speaker 3 (09:46):
I'll create commentary A lot of a lot of commentary,
that's good, A lot of cricket. Yeah, great, yep, that's
pretty much it.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Well, did you end up seeing the rock Boys in
the end? Yeah? Ie? With that very good. We hung
out we have our yearly yearly lunch suck off. Yep, yep,
do all that. And it wasn't too It wasn't too late.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
We started at twelve, we ended at about twelve thirty one.
Speaker 1 (10:09):
O'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2 (10:10):
Oh no, that was very reasonable, very very measured, very controlled.
Speaker 1 (10:15):
Did nobody bled out of their eyes? How is Meddi?
Speaker 2 (10:19):
Meddi was good? Medi was in med he was and
grateful Medi not getting up and actually speaking of not
getting up in the morning. So now he doesn't get
up in the mornings. Yeah, he's got quite a lot
of energy, right, He's got to remember he was basically
had kind of narcillipsey. Yeah, so sometimes we'd be commentating.
Next thing, you know, you'd look over and he'd be asleep.
Not anymore, he is he is BD. He has got
(10:42):
not wouldn't describe it as.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Just be e bde, but he's definitely got.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
He's he's not hesn't got.
Speaker 2 (10:49):
A narclipses think going on anymore. It's interesting.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
How much slip do you boys get at night.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
Ten?
Speaker 1 (10:56):
Wake up at five seven?
Speaker 3 (10:58):
Yeah, that's pretty good, iminator. I need to get I
need to get it. Although on Saturday I did statu
till two thirty in the morning with Paul Stuart Ford,
Newson's premier sort drinking wine till too thirty in the
morning up at sexon into the commentary.
Speaker 1 (11:12):
Did start yours of the weekend? He did?
Speaker 2 (11:14):
Did?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Lee Baker also came over for a glass of wine
and deconstructed our cheeseboard systematically. Yeah, it was good.
Speaker 1 (11:23):
It was good.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
Actually, Lee had some he had some great stories. We
got the behind the scenes story of the Mike King
message on his phone. Oh stuff it was he got
He got it basically got interrogated by Paul Stuart Ford
and a couple of others.
Speaker 1 (11:36):
Has he still got the message?
Speaker 3 (11:37):
Yes? Is he?
Speaker 1 (11:40):
Because you can't find it anywhere online or any.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
No, we tried to do that, but he's still got
it in the archive somewhere. But yeah, he told us
the sort of tale of that and potentially New Zealand's
first ever viral yeah content.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Yeah, it's pretty freaky winning because obviously I was involved
in that too. What happened was just if you don't know,
pre social media, pre social media, we used to just
do a show called any Media Lunch. We had a
cartoonist who used to work on the show. We independently
commission him to do cartoons, wouldn't really have anything to
(12:14):
do with him. His names Anthony Ellison, and he'd do
a cartoon. He had a cartoon called Media Dog, and
the Media Dog would make comments, a very cynical kind
of dog character who would make comments about things that
were going on in the media. He did a cartoon
about Mike King that was not overly positive about Mike King,
(12:34):
and it had a dog watching TV and then Mike
King doing jokes on the TV and the dog not
laughing at all, and at the end it's the dog
then urinated himself and then said, oh, look, I just
manufactured some p and Mike King took exception to that.
(12:55):
I think actually he was overseas at the time. I
don't know about I don't know that for sure, but
I think he was overseas. Maybe one of his friends
called him up and said, I think they're saying something
about you on the show, Mike. He maybe watched it
or somehow knew that Lee Baker worked on it. Lee
Baker knew him from comedy Circles. He had Lee Baker's
phone number, so he then called Lee Baker and left
(13:17):
a message on Lee's answer phone. Lee came into Hitting
media lunch with the answer phone message and here that
I've just got the most insane message from Mike King
on my phone and played it to us and we
all went, holy crap. It was quite a full on
message where Mike King basically threatened to beat us all up.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
And then.
Speaker 2 (13:42):
I think from there, the way it went viral was
that I was working at the time at BFM, and
I was up there and I played it to someone
at BFM. We're just playing it to people because it's like, Hey,
have you listen to Mike King going crazy? Mike King's
really getting angry here on this message. And because he
wasn't a super popular figure at that time, Mike King,
(14:03):
he'd made a lot of enemies with people in comedy
circles just being a bit of a prack at times.
And I think he will accept that he was a
bit of a preak in those days. And then I
played it some of the song said could I could
I have it or something? Or could I play it
on air? Could I play it somewhere? No, We're never
(14:24):
going to play it on air, but they just wanted it.
And then I said, yep, sure, but don't give it
to anyone, and then that person, then that person then
sends it to one person, and then within two hours
it was I had a guy from three News calling
me saying this Mike King message, it's everywhere. I was like,
(14:44):
oh my heart sunk. I was like, oh no, this
is a disaster. And then it was on the news
that night.
Speaker 3 (14:51):
Yes, early, that was one of the that's the first
viral because it went only via email, didn't it Old
school email and emails even then were not.
Speaker 4 (15:00):
Exactly you know, unfortunate irony there for Mike as well,
in the sense that he was, you know, the cartoon
was perhaps saying something about his tendencies and then to
react in such a way. It's not really doing yourself
any favors here, was it.
Speaker 2 (15:14):
I'm not sure where he's ever. I think he's publicly
said that that was a time when he was possibly
taking drugs. I'm not sure he's said what he was taking. Okay,
I'm not sure that whether that's public information, but he
definitely said that he was going through a bad patch
in his life whatever, and sort of that was the
(15:35):
that was the.
Speaker 1 (15:38):
The dere moment.
Speaker 3 (15:39):
So we covered that off to the wee hours of
the morning again, so raked over the coals and then
Lee Baker walked home. I'm not sure how long Tom
to walk home, you.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Live in the north Shore. And then I'm pretty sure
he's over the side of the bridge.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
I believe so, oh yeah, I know. I think he
was staying with his sister. It was just it was
just down the road. But he said it was his
sister was I think I'm not too sure, but.
Speaker 1 (16:02):
I haven't made like that. Yeah, the same thing, his
sister living in a different place.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
Now, yeah, yeah, that's a good one.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
That one is.
Speaker 2 (16:11):
Oh, that sounds like a good time. What about call
Stuart Forty is the best of us?
Speaker 3 (16:15):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (16:16):
Good to see him briefly.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
He is the best of us. He's back on commentary
for the third test. He's like he's got he's a
man with priorities. Because I said, can you commentate the
basin reserve tests? He said, name, get fucked. I'm going
to watch it. I'm going to go to the ground.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (16:30):
He told a story yesterday about about when he proposed
to his partner Tracy, and that it was at the
basement reserve and and how he never missed a game
of cricket. And even despite that he was I think
he missed his own engagement party or something to go
to the cricket And someone who was on the commentary
(16:52):
is like, I think it was Actually Jason Hoyt was like,
oh great, your wife must have been really pleased that
you that you you know, proposed at the cricket and
and that you missed missed your thing. And he said, no,
she's a massive cricket fan.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
I don't think he could.
Speaker 2 (17:07):
Quite get his hit around that, yeah, and pull forward
to that's that's the reason that I married her, because
she's the only person, only girl at that stage that
over met who liked cricket as much as mate. And
Jason Concord gives hit around that.
Speaker 3 (17:21):
Well, he's not a big listeners, so it wouldn't have
got through the fact that. Yeah, no, I think because
I know the lovely Tracy and she is the biggest
cricket fan, so she'd quite happily pulled the kids out
and go to the five days at the base and
pull him out of school go to the base.
Speaker 1 (17:35):
She loves it.
Speaker 3 (17:35):
Yeah, Which they're a match made in heaven.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
I feel like we all need some Tracy in our lives.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Absolutely, she's the.
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Best of us. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
I feel like Jason Hoyt doesn't even love cricket anymore though,
you know, so that's probably hit around that. It wasn't
the fact that a woman liked cricket. I think it
was more of the fact that anyone loves cricket.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
It was dark yesterday, but I think it was because
he forgot his nic career. He's more focused on getting
that's off.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
I've noticed it's like anything. He's like anything. He'll come
in for the big show and he's planning his exit.
Speaker 1 (18:05):
Yep, how can we get out of here? He's like
hosting and all great broadcasters, that's what they.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Do, planning your exit.
Speaker 2 (18:11):
Always got your exit planned, yep, yep, that's part of it.
Speaker 1 (18:14):
Just like me right now. Really
