Speaker 1 (00:00):
McKay on sport with farm lands, prevent parris and outbreaks
and score a wind this summer.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
There's a few.

Speaker 1 (00:10):
Yeah, go in country on the country on a Friday.
This man goes country on a Friday because every Friday
he goes to the fielding stock sale yards right in
the middle of the town, just near the clock tower.
And he goes and has a cup of tea and
catches up with what's happening with all the farmers. Hamish
MacKaye and MacKaye on sport. But Hamish, hey, before we
talk about sport, tell me about this cattle beast that

(00:33):
turned its toes up this morning in the middle of
the fielding saleyards.

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Yeah, it was hard to know what happened. I you know,
as I do, I sort of cocker hoop go over
there and you know, do the old real estate agent
think how you doing? And took this guy and he
was just just sense that he was a bit upset,
and I said, jeezy, okay, he said, I just sorry, mate,
I'm sorry from a but not that attendant. But to
any pointed and there was one of his lovely rangey
two year old steers under a tarp ball and dead

(00:59):
it punched a new or something must have got perhaps
got down in the truck or something like that. But
it just to me, you know, he wasn't here. You know,
I should probably go through the ring for two and
a half thousand and three thousand dollars, But just the
emotion around, you know, that sort of you know, farmer's care,
you know, I think some of those people miss that,
you know, And but they had the vets there straight away,
so I guess, you know, insurance and all those things happened.

(01:20):
But the point thing is that he was clearly quite.
You know, I'd be quite. You know, Initially I thought, geeze,
he doesn't like me, but I very.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
Quickly would well hate iamous. I'd bear wee butt terry
too if I had a two and a half thousand
dollars cattlebst to turn its toes up on me as well.
So you can't get and we've discussed this before, much
more rural than the Fielding stockyards on a Friday morning.
You'd get a real feel for provincial New Zealand. What
what what what's the brahma to like? In your reading?

Speaker 2 (01:49):
Yeah, it looked pretty good, pretty good, Like there's a
there's a. I guess there's sort of a slightly defensive
system or if you're like force Field around farmers and
around the community because we've been there, done that before
in terms of good times, and I guess there's the
worry that they might not last. So there's a sort
of there's a but I think there's a new found

(02:10):
sort of optimis optimism which will breed some longevity. So
things are feeling pretty good and people are starting to
talk about the footy again this weekend and talk about
the All Blacks and wondering what's going on with Razors
camp and wanted to get the inside from me. So yeah,
you know, I fi Ording is pretty bob, but he
can't get a park. That's the hardest thing.

Speaker 1 (02:30):
So yeah, well it's a happening sort of place. Well
what do you make of the Scottish rugby team? And
I mean there's a few lines and there Finn Russell
arguably the best first five and world rugby at the moment.
They've never beaten us, we've drawn twice. Do you like
the look of this all black team?

Speaker 2 (02:47):
Well, they've had a couple of near misses. I mean
the all black team conservative you know, I still can't
understand why we're not prepared to give the Reuben Loves
of this world a chance. But I guess he wants
those guys who sawt of got their act together against
the Tire Irish, give them another opportunity to get out
in the park and do it again. A couple of
changes for the Scotts that I had big Xander ferguson

(03:07):
the line in the front row and they've dropped under Mrva,
the big South African born winger. But they'd bring in
another one. Kyle Stain is a hell of a good
footy player and as you mentioned, find Russell I reckon
he is the best verst live there going around and
watch Rory Hutches in at center. Look, it's going to
happen one day, isn't it? Sooner or later? You know,
we had the nineteen ninety of the teams that won
the cow Cutter Cup in the Grand Slam. They came

(03:28):
offully close. You remember the Great White Shark and those
guys and the govern Eastings and the team that drew
with the late Stuey Wilson's team in eighty three, So
they had come close.

Speaker 1 (03:38):
Yeah. Stu Wilson, one of my favorite All Blacks, favorite
bloke too. He Howny captain the All Black twice, All
Blacks twice and Test matches and old Steward used to
joke about being the worst All Black captain of all
time because he drew one and lost one.

Speaker 2 (03:52):
Drew one and lost one, and he had the kahunahs
to smile about it. And except today that's.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
What he was a great winger. And he was a
great winger full stop. He went to early because of
the professional rules that got him out of the game.
He should have still still been there. Okay, talking about
greats from back in the days in the eighties. Peter
Bellas isn't he from around? Well, he's Wanganui, isn't he.

Speaker 2 (04:18):
So I wanted to mention this because I feel I
know you would have been the same those summers of
cricket and bowls on the on the wireless, you know,
going back through the seventies, eighties, nineties, and you'd always
hear Peter Bellace from Ara Maho and waning to he Wangano.
He's finals and he's been inaugurated into the the initial
the first ever World Bowls Fall of Fame. So he's

(04:39):
in the local one and then he's Heeland one. But
I just think that that's a name that's synonymous with
bowls and summer. Peter bellas Ara Mahoe.

Speaker 1 (04:45):
The other name that's synonymous with bowls in the summer.
I don't know where he is these days, but he
was a great bloke as well.

Speaker 2 (04:51):
Stu Scott, Oh, Stu Scott. Yeah, although the year go
oh yeah, unbelievable names, right, So when you say that,
it makes the hair stand up on the back of
my neck.

Speaker 1 (05:02):
You want to a Hamish. Finally, you want to get
a shameless plug in for the Bulls Wahini rugby team.
It's the Bulls Ball.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Not the Bulls Balls exactly. DJ fifty dollar door sales
at the Bulls Domain Saturday night from seven o'clock. The
Bulls Wahani Women's rugby team. It's their fundraiser night. We
need to sell a few more tickets. I'm going to
go out there and I'm going to be available to
drive people home, like I'll be not a dollar driver.
But there is transport from Fielding Bulls in Martin and yeah,

(05:35):
the Bulls Wahine Women's rugby fundrais. I mean, I've seen
a couple of pictures of the hall all. It's going
to be a good party. Don't miss out on it.

Speaker 1 (05:43):
Get out there, good on your Hamish, enjoy your weekend,
enjoy the footy. Thanks for your time. There we go,

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
