Speaker 1 (00:00):
Okay, it's day six of the Export Ultra Beer Gaden
Tour to Austin, Texas. The Agenda Podcast Texas edition, brought
to you by Export Ultra. Jerry, we're literally in the
departure engine.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
Here we are. We're at Houston Airport. We're on our
way back to New Zealand.
Speaker 3 (00:19):
We left Austin this morning at eleven am, yes, on
a bus.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
We then drove fifteen minutes to the airport. Yep. We
then waited for two and a half hours, and then
we got on a very short flight.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
I gotta say that's one of the shortest flights I've
ever been a part of.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Quite eventful for me because I sat next to Joe Jury,
who proceeded to order a quite a large coke from
the flight attendant, and then he proceeded to fall asleep,
fast asleep, right next to me. And they delivered it
and they put it on his tray right next to me,
and I thought, that's a little bit dangerous. He's potentially
(00:58):
going to wake up. Knock that over gently, gave him
a little rip, just a kind of gentle tap on
the shot as you Joe, Joe, Joe, and he woke
up and I see to your drinks here, which he proceeded.
Then have a small spasm and just basically backhand the
fall glass of coke all over my lap. There was
so much of it that I stood up and it
went down the back of my seat and onto the
(01:20):
people behind me, onto their feet behind me. It was
just flouing like a waterfall, and the exact thing I
didn't want to happen happened. And I when you talk
about having long hall balls, this is next level because
now they've been marinated in coke.
Speaker 3 (01:35):
Yeah, at an early stage in the process too, because
some we're about to hop onto the flight of the
New Zealand flight to come home fourteen and a half
hours and at this stage no sign of any kind
of shower for silly, although I'm just looking across here
and what there is.
Speaker 2 (01:52):
I mean, this is the tragedy of airports like this.
There was actually a pool room for a dog.
Speaker 3 (01:57):
So it's across from us as a photo of an
image of a dog with a collar on.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Yeah, it's an animal relief.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
Robe and they have them here in the States, and
it means that you can take your dog in there
and it can shed or pass on the floor. So
it's got because they love a companion animal over here,
like so many companion animals. Also a lot of people
just getting wheel around and cheers. It's going to a
lot of that. I mean they are, but airports you've
(02:25):
got to walk a long way. But I saw a
person earlier on when we're going through security, and she
was about two years older than me, and I thought
of myself, oh, maybe she's got some kind of disability,
and then she hopped up out of it, yeir, and
she in a sprightly fashion skipped through security, just went
straight through security.
Speaker 2 (02:43):
And I was like, you're just lazy, nearly just lazy.
Well maybe she'd pay for it.
Speaker 1 (02:47):
You know, you have to pay for them. I've just
seen the exchange happen right next to us. Actually, yeah,
I think you thank you. I think it's provided free,
but you're expected to pay.
Speaker 3 (02:57):
I feel like I could ask the first and it's
basically what all that is is its it's.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
A wheelchair, but not really wheelchair. And I saw some
people wheeling the wheelchairs who look dangerously older and more
discombobulated than the people in them.
Speaker 2 (03:13):
Should I ask how much of that yours? Those people have?
Just arrived to excuse me.
Speaker 3 (03:17):
You asked them how much is it to be wheeled
around in one of those cheers?
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Does it cost money to be pushed on one of
those cheers?
Speaker 3 (03:26):
How much? Is it?
Speaker 2 (03:30):
Just asking a question?
Speaker 1 (03:31):
You have fun.
Speaker 2 (03:33):
On the government side today? Pay for it again health insurance?
Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah, there you go. Oh I help her, help us
pay for it.
Speaker 2 (03:42):
It's quite good.
Speaker 1 (03:42):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Thank you.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
So they're just people were just hired to you.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
Give them to people around you give them a tip. Okay,
thank you there getting us? Oh yes, did you give
them a big tip?
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Give them a big tip, but just the tip.
Speaker 2 (04:01):
Give them a big tip.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
I think they're getting did a big tip?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
How much did you do to tip?
Speaker 1 (04:10):
I think he's asking whether they had big tips. I
think that's why he was looking at you. It's strange.
I think you do they have large tips. It's a
bit of a bit of a language career.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
I think we've got the gist of it.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Yeah, so they can help us, help us just go around,
just push people around. Anyone can do that. You can
put your hand up and get wheeled around anyway. So
last night, the final night and in Austin, we went
out for dinner a beautiful former brothel called Moonshines.
Speaker 3 (04:38):
As the guy who was our waiter, Chris said, basically,
like everything starts off with all good intention and then
turns into a brothel.
Speaker 2 (04:48):
And it certainly it's an interesting real time that guy's
got us, but it's an interesting setup. It was right down.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
By the river and so boats used to come through
there and people would stay. They used to it's called
the Sunday Store because they would stay for Sunday, yeah,
Saturday night.
Speaker 2 (05:05):
And then part of the.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Deal was that they got a free service utives and yeah,
and that was all good.
Speaker 2 (05:12):
So people would go there and think, yep, that's great,
this is all good.
Speaker 3 (05:15):
God would be into this, and then next thing you know,
she's turned into a brothel. And I don't know how
God would feel about that.
Speaker 2 (05:20):
But it was haunted.
Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, yeah, because but it's haunted. It haunted with a
mixture of formal brothels. Six yes, yes, so there's There
was a rumor that there was a sucky bus on
the loose, which resulted in quite a few of our
party disappearing and heading to the toilets. Yeah, I know.
(05:41):
Nikeya and Chris were very excited to hit down there,
so too was Ben and have a quick gander and
just kind of hop on a stall and strip naked
and hope for the best.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Joe Jury claims that when he went and the lights
flickered on off, all I noticed was that there was
someone had gone to the toilet with diarrhea and got
underneath the bottom.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
I'm sure there was.
Speaker 3 (06:02):
That was the ghost quite what that was, but it
was a horrific crime that was going on underneath that
bowl there.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Great meal, though, beautiful, beautiful tender steak. Good, it was
a bit it's it's the moonshine. It was a bourbon
brewery as well. It needs to brawl the bourbon there,
so that's what it was. Dangerously old as well. But yeah,
I mean, and then we went to the White Horse.
Speaker 3 (06:25):
Yeah, the White Horse, which is a live music venue
ye where you can go along and you can do
the tixs and two step yep, which is an unusual dance.
You go two to the sidemer one and then you
go one back in and then you go you spent
more to the side to the side.
Speaker 2 (06:42):
You were up there dancing and the six and two step.
You got it.
Speaker 1 (06:45):
After a while it took me a while. I was
looking at my feet for a long time. The lady
was teaching me was just getting dangerous. They can confused
about why I couldn't get it, but I've usually got
it him. And I got up there in his gawboy
boots and his gabboy hat and flustered around. And then
Tom got up there and yeah, described someone was having
two lear feet.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
Yeah, for a time. I don't even know if it
was tu left feet. I think it was no rhythm.
Speaker 3 (07:06):
Who was struggling to get a basic beat of the
country of music. Oh, I'll tell you who could dance,
and that is Ben and Courtney. And it turns out
they were like they were possely footing their way around
the dance fer And it turns out that Courtney actually
was a competitive rock and roll dancer and she was
guiding Ben around.
Speaker 2 (07:23):
You tell they were.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
All of a sudden, I looked at those two a
completely different I mean, I liked being in courtet from
the start, but all of a sudden, I just saw
this superb teamwork that was going on. I was like, Wow,
you boys are a sensational couple.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Yeah, And we stayed there till Early has played a
bit of pool. I met a wedding party arrived from
South Africa. So South Africa had settled in Austin, Texas,
and it was they decided to have their reception at
the White Horse, which was a dive bar.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
Diar dive bars anyway to described and in the pool
area was was kind of open to the elements. It
was sort of a it was open. I didn't have
any doors or anything like that in the pool tables.
But there I met a guy from Louisiana, Patrick, and
he was very interested in the New Zealand accent and
breaking down the New Zealand accent, talking about the Louisiana
(08:14):
accent and saying, you know what makes the Louisiana accents different, because,
of course in Louisiana you've got casion yep, You've also
got you've got New Orleans accent. You've got a rural
Louisian accent as well. And he was he was going
through what he thought. He thought that Louisiana has the
most diverse sounds in the States.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
Yeah, it was an interesting game.
Speaker 2 (08:37):
He got boring off a while and then it got
all political againts.
Speaker 1 (08:39):
Yeah, it always does. But it was quite a CLICKTI
group on a Monday night.
Speaker 2 (08:44):
In Austin.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
But it'll take quick break. I want to go for
I want to go talk to you about highlights and
low lights. So we had an awards ceremony last night
with the teams where we had you know, things like
most improved, you know, the probably the worst start to
the tour, which obviously I think it was been talking
that one out given he got searched, his bags got
(09:08):
searched both leaving New Zealand and coming into the States,
which of course is issue. Lots of awards going out there,
people you know, giving their highlights and low lights.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
Nika, Nikita and Chris they got the most the emotional
award because they got very very emotional when they were
in front of John Summit where you were actually the dnbtists.
Speaker 1 (09:28):
The DNB that's actually up there with my highlights, the
DNB artists.
Speaker 2 (09:31):
Yeah yeah. And then what else did we have?
Speaker 1 (09:34):
And then we had we had the Lost Puppy, the
Lost Child Award, the Lost Child Award yep, that went
to Nick Yep.
Speaker 3 (09:43):
He got lost, so he was went to the toilets
at one stage during a gig.
Speaker 2 (09:49):
He then thought that he could find his way back.
Speaker 3 (09:50):
He didn't have his phone was partner Sam had taken
his phone off and I think because it would run
out of batteries and then he couldn't find his way back.
Speaker 2 (09:57):
He was gone for like forty five.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Minutes, and I think it took Ben pussy for Ben
to find it's been into the toilet and then they
actually found each other, Thank goodness for that.
Speaker 2 (10:08):
Yeah. And then there was the infamous brown Bick Award.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Which mean was from Nia. I was obviously taking looking
to take that one out, but he didn't. He got
pipped at the post he did by young Lewis from christ.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
Church who won that one.
Speaker 1 (10:26):
So yeah, it was it was a good time to
run it. I think everyone I've never I don't think
I've ever taken a group of people out on who've
got on so well.
Speaker 2 (10:33):
No, we did mention that.
Speaker 3 (10:36):
We did mention that, and I think normally you generally
get one or two people who I don't know.
Speaker 2 (10:42):
Some people are a little bit more demanding than other people,
aren't there. Some people are a little bit more negally. They
don't mean to be oftentimes, but they're just a little
bit more high maintenance. And I've got to say as
a group. That particular group was.
Speaker 1 (10:58):
Alexander Bruno.
Speaker 3 (11:00):
That's not.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
That's they're going and he's not. He's still have to
say that, you would say, did you give them a
big tet?
Speaker 2 (11:12):
He was conviews. I've just watched him walking around on
it was nothing wrong. He's a nimble on.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
So yeah, you get the old home maintenance person and
this group there was not a single person who was
little slightly home maintenance. But it felt like a proper team.
Everybody was in it from the start. Everyone was wanting
to have a good time. There was hero punishers and
lots of music fans, a.
Speaker 2 (11:41):
Huge amount of appreciation for the whole thing.
Speaker 1 (11:43):
And look and most of them have stayed on lost
headed up to New Orleans. A couple of them has
gone to Fort Worth and stayed on and carried on
their travels and got a little hardy bunch. They have
to make their way home, including us. So we've got
to get on a plane from the.
Speaker 3 (12:00):
Yeah I just met she met before We were checking
in a couple of New Zealanders who were on their
way back to christ Church.
Speaker 2 (12:06):
Now they'd come over joy.
Speaker 3 (12:08):
And Joey and Denise and joe and Denise had come
over for a quilting trip.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
And so they were Vancouver, Jesus, come along with us.
They've been here for a month on a quilting, on
a quilting, on a quilting, I guess you call it
a pilgrimage. Is this okay?
Speaker 3 (12:30):
So they quilts and they're part of a quilton club,
and they went up to Vancouver, and then they came
down to Missouri, which is apparently the quilting capital of
the States.
Speaker 2 (12:41):
And then they've ended up in Houston. There's apparently a
huge quilting community.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
And the funniest thing was when when Joy Joyce I
think you know, when she went to get up, so
she was probably a lady I would say in her
mid seventies, when, oh my god, when she went when
she went to get up, she let r because she
(13:07):
was was a real battle to get up, and she.
Speaker 2 (13:09):
Just lost control of the bowel.
Speaker 3 (13:13):
Yeah, and she was quite embarrassed about because I offered
to help her up because the six were quite low.
Speaker 2 (13:21):
And then she went to get up and went and
just massive far.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
I can sympathize with Joy because last night on the
way home, we had more meat last night, more beers,
and I was walking back to my room at eight
twenty roommate twenty at the Western Downtown Austin on my own,
and I just lifted her leg and just ripped. In
my personal opinion, was potentially rip the biggest part I
(13:47):
have ever done. And it was long, and it was loud,
it was crisp. And then I heard from one of
the rooms. Now this could have been just timing for
something else, but I heard allow someone go, oh my god,
I'm impressed. I just said, oh my god, and I
quickly shoveled into my room before you could come out
(14:10):
of the boy.
Speaker 2 (14:10):
I think I was probably quite impressed.
Speaker 1 (14:13):
It wasn't It didn't give the vibe and someone who
was impressed it came for the vibe of someone who
was digging, shopped and consumed for the alpha.
Speaker 2 (14:20):
Someone in the hallway, well, if you had a real thing.
Speaker 3 (14:23):
On your sad because you found a chair yesterday and
you let her up a couple of times, and it
had a reverberation into it which actually similar to choices,
and had that same guy as sound.
Speaker 2 (14:35):
I think it's the concha.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
I've just realized that across from us, not only is
there a dog, you're an issue shoge fecal fowlings on.
But there's also a pumping I'm over, which is a
privacy for pumping and breastfeeding. And it's a weird little pod, yeah,
shaped like a little watercolmn.
Speaker 1 (14:54):
Yeah. And I'm even going there and pumping, pump away
and pumped away times.
Speaker 2 (15:00):
There's woman who's about something. She shut herself.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
Think there's a lot going on here.
Speaker 2 (15:06):
There's a lot going on.
Speaker 4 (15:08):
Just there are great people watching in the Houston International Airport.
Here You've got two curls and she's taking him home
and she's gonna. I wonder what could cheers that?
Speaker 1 (15:19):
Because that kid was getting caught in nucking.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
Do people like crisp feeds like in publica?
Speaker 3 (15:25):
You know?
Speaker 1 (15:25):
I don't think.
Speaker 2 (15:25):
So.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
That's why they have these pods everywhere for pumping and
feeding so people don't perve. Yeah, but you can. Can
you go in there and pump? Well, it's your purpose?
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Are you going and winking?
Speaker 1 (15:38):
Do you have to pumping and sort to.
Speaker 2 (15:40):
Be a woman? A pod? I've talked about got toilets,
that's what toilets are.
Speaker 1 (15:48):
Becau's another lazy cot boy going past on the back
of her.
Speaker 3 (15:52):
He's in the back of a large golf cart, so
it's working quite well for him.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
I have a large cheers there and anyways, a plane
bit system. This embarked here. So this is a Dallas
fort Ua nineteen forty nine, which is from Dallas fort Word.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
It's on time.
Speaker 3 (16:12):
So he lived at eight oh eight and it got
out of ninety twenty four sets of hour and sixteen
minutes for that fight.
Speaker 2 (16:21):
Interesting.
Speaker 3 (16:22):
Che I'm looking at some of these travelers and I
do find it's interesting the type of traveler that wears a.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
Sports jacket you no longer?
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (16:30):
Is it to try and show that you're wealthy? Is
that the idea? You getting upright?
Speaker 1 (16:35):
Or you know that you're on business?
Speaker 2 (16:37):
You're on business.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
I'm a workingman on business.
Speaker 2 (16:40):
Really, yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I think that's the only reason why you do that.
The sports jacket s what you mean, he's got the
heel a lot. I've just got the heel and the
sports jacket and then a guard care pass rushing donuts. Jesus. Absolutely,
it's impressive.
Speaker 3 (16:56):
There's a lot of even actually interesting even here in
Houston wayless cowboy boots yeah then and Austin, Yeah, Austin
was just.
Speaker 2 (17:06):
Every man was wearing a pair of cowboy boats. But
here I felt like there's way less cubeers. There are
a lot of sneakers.
Speaker 3 (17:14):
I'm getting onto even its flight for dance, even there's
handing any cowboy boats.
Speaker 2 (17:18):
It's all sneakers.
Speaker 1 (17:20):
Yeah your crop even, Yeah, right, I might. I'm trying
to find out shower facility to try and get rid
of the marinade of sweet coke from my nuts before
you go into the mamova and just just take myself
up and take some wet wipes in.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
The yourself, manually give yourself a claim.
Speaker 3 (17:39):
You've got to do something, Yeah, because if you go
for another fourteen and a half hours with coke balls,
you're gonna it's going to be so.
Speaker 2 (17:48):
Plus added to that sweet.
Speaker 3 (17:50):
Also, there's gonna be so much moisture down me. You're
gonna for a pair of undies. I've actually timed my
undies absolutely perfectly. So I've got my last pair. I've
got two piers there show a pair of honies, and
I've got one for that I can get changed into
at the end of the flight.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
Yep. And that's it's perfect.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
I bought a bit eight.
Speaker 3 (18:15):
Pairs of ndies with mate, and I have managed I
wore a lot of the days when we're up at
the pool, I wasn't wearing undies, yeah, which is quite handy.
Speaker 2 (18:24):
So I sort of got away with not wearing them
all day every.
Speaker 3 (18:28):
Day, and I just give them a sniff test at
the end of the day and if they were good
to go, i'd go again to the marina.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Sensible.
Speaker 2 (18:35):
It's sensible. And there's one pier that I really blew
out on one of those days. I think we did.
