Eighty years since D Day it was today, Yeah, D Day,

Speaker 3 (00:29):
Wow, that man give him a taste of kiwi a
absolutely Really, the Allies, we really shoved it right up there,
arson't we.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
How lucky and lazy are we in this generation that
we didn't have to.

Speaker 3 (00:40):
The most winginess, amount of winging that goes on now,
Like people just walking around today in twenty twenty four
complaining about their lives. You're not bloody getting shot at
by Germans, are you?

Speaker 1 (00:52):
Nah?

Speaker 3 (00:53):
Nah?

Speaker 1 (00:53):
You're not in a single man's submarine going across the
Strait and swimming to shore and taking sand samples before
the invasion.

Speaker 3 (00:59):
At No, you're bloody, not are you? But you're winging
more than any of those people. There's not the average
New Zealand today wines more than the biggest winger. Yeah
in the Allied forces back in the day, the diggers.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Exactly don't like just think, thank the Lord that you
weren't born one hundred years ago.

Anyway, speaking of wingin, I got a wonge with you. Okay,
So yesterday we didn't The agenda was nine. Yesterday I
had to get a colonoscopy.

Speaker 3 (01:25):
Yeah you did, go, but on you forgetting that checked out.
It's important. It's not anyone that's seeing any of those
symptoms going, any greenness in the stool, any change in
what's happening, Get up down there, get up there, get
up there. But I see a doctor and get up there.

Speaker 1 (01:38):
Absolutely. But I there's a procedure. There's twenty four hours
before the procedure, which I must admit is the hardest part.
The procedure itself is an absolute dream.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's a pleasure, absolute pleasure.

Speaker 1 (01:51):
The twenty four hours beforehand, you you have to stop
eating and you can only drink water, and you take
these laxatus, which basically turn your stools into into bumwee Yeah.
Now you played your bum wheeze to me on Tuesday.
Now you're bum wheeze recording that you would at the time.
You did share with everyone, and I'm good on you
for doing it. It lasted about twenty or thirty seconds.

(02:12):
Your one was like a river. Yeah, and so that
was my expectations for my school. And so I sent
you audio with my one and it was very much
short and sharp.

Speaker 3 (02:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (02:23):
It was you know, four or five seconds powerful.

Speaker 3 (02:26):
It was powerful.

Speaker 1 (02:27):
Yeah, But my expectations were, so, shall I play you
Here's here's mine? Yeah, now.

Speaker 3 (02:37):
Here you go the little dribble at the end.

Speaker 1 (02:45):
See, that's it, that's it. That was That was all
mine was. So and your one was probably ten times
a link.

Speaker 3 (02:50):
There, I've got mine. I've got mine here, Johnny.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
Here, Like, I hope no one's eating or if you're
eating and listening to this podcast, you're one. Okay, let's
and then compare and you change gears down to second.

Speaker 3 (03:07):
Here listen there you go, see you keep on.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Then I go, yeah, I can't try see this, Okay,
So I'm I go to the doctor and you go
to the doctor, and my biggest fear is I'm going
to shut all over them. Yeah, because you're in a
vulnerle position. I open you up my big fear is
are going to shuttle over his face. So at the
consultation beforehand, he says, if you've got any questions, and
I said, yeah, I'm unsure if I've got rid of
it all because I listened to my mate sent me

(03:36):
a recording of him do it. And first of all,
obviously we've made that normal. But he went, what I said, Ah,
my mate got it done a few while ago, and
he sent me a recording of him and he was like,
why would he do that? I said, oh, that's just
you know, just shits and giggles whatever, no pun intended.
And he's like, okay, and I said, but here's one.

Speaker 3 (03:57):
He sent it to me.

Speaker 1 (03:58):
It went for about twenty seconds, my one, and I
got my phone. Now no no, no, no, no, I don't
want to hear it, and he goes, my one's are
only four or five seconds. So I'm concerned that I
haven't got rid of it all, and I'm going to
shed all over you. And he's like, you could see
a laugh.

Speaker 3 (04:12):
Great man.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
He goes, no, it's okay if you have an anything
for twenty four hours, and it's it's it's fine. You
won't okay, even if you did. We're not going to
tell you anyway if you shut over us, because we
wouldn't do that. And I was like, so I may have.
I may have shard over him. You wouldn't because I
wouldn't know.

Speaker 3 (04:24):
Because the.

Speaker 1 (04:27):
Anetheus comes in, Charles, Big Charlie. Big Charlie sits down
and I said, what are you giving me today, Charlie?
What are you giving me today to send me into
La La Land? And he goes, oh, sh don't give
you the same stuff that Michael Jackson used to take.
And I was like, oh, beauty, I said, is it
a full knockout? And he goes, it's a sedative, so
you might still be awake and you might hear voices,
but you're not going to be really with it. I

(04:48):
was like, oh, okay, anyway, they deliver it to me.
First of all, that you know, they take you in
there and they they hook you up to IV and
everything and put the monitors on you, and then they
say roll on your side and then knees to the
chest and that's the vulnerable part when you're in the
fetal And then I just passed out and then I
wake up in the recovery room. Yeah, right, nothing. I
wasn't wasn't talking. I was just out to it. And

(05:09):
I was like, if Michael Jackson was taking these recreationally,
no wonder his heart said, fuck.

Speaker 3 (05:14):
You had stopped.

Speaker 4 (05:16):
It's it's like blackout drugs. But it feels so good.
Oh yeah, you feel so happy. You could see why
if you're Michael Jackson. If you're Michael Jackson's doctor, and
you know he's so famous and powerful and you're stoked
to be his doctor, you don't want to lose the job.
Michael Jackson really wants those drugs, because you're not going
to feel any better than you do when you're on
those drugs and the doctor goes, oh Christ, I'm going

(05:36):
to have.

Speaker 3 (05:36):
To give them. Keeps giving them eventually kills them. But
I can you your life on those drugs, as if
there's no problems. Oh it was.

Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, anyway, if that's not a recreational drug I'm going
to get.

Speaker 3 (05:49):
Into that would be the end of it. No wonder,
it's a problem. Yeah, that's the end of it. There's
the end of you bothering to be do anything ever
again in your life. Yeah, you just end up in
a small room with nothing on the walls. Just like
a mattress in the corner and a small sheet and
feces everywhere there, so you'd end up and you'd be happy.

Speaker 1 (06:07):
Yeah, So apologies to doctor Luigi Sisman. If I did
sit all over your great.

Speaker 3 (06:14):
Name, you took it like a man, Luigi Susman. Yeah,
you took it like a man.

Speaker 1 (06:17):
Great name, I bet like, and I'm not serious, just
get it. That was the easiest thing you ever done.
You don't have to eat twenty four hours, big deal.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Yeah, And Dihine would said, you know, like they reckon
if everyone got that screening done, you know at thirty,
which isn't isn't really the time you need to do it.
But if you everyone got it thirty, they reckon, they
would get rid of most of belk.

Speaker 1 (06:35):
Yeah, cancer, it's fifty, I think is when you should
definitely get it done.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
Yeah, but like you know, as soon as you're worried
or as soon as you have anything to look at,
then just do it, because I mean not doing it,
the potential sult of not doing it is so much
bigger than the annoyance and the difficulty of getting it done,
and also the peace of mind you get from getting
it done. Totally.

Speaker 1 (06:57):
And also the great comedy you can get from seeing
your mane it's the audio clippings of you doing bumweees.

Speaker 3 (07:02):
That's great. Yeah, And if you've got any of that,
then send it through to the talkback Faction on your
iHeartRadio app and like, we'd love to hear your bumbwees
on the Agenda podcast.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
We've been down this road, unfortunately, we have when people
were sending them from showers and then we said, it's
just a matter of time before someone's doing it dumb,
and sure enough someone was like, yeah, you get a
it's anyway, let's get into let's get into support. Last
night was State of O State versus State, Mate versus Mate.

(07:31):
One thing to come out of it murder. There was
a murder seven minutes early.

Speaker 3 (07:38):
On Murder and a man we used to love that
we don't love now.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Joseph solely within seven minutes on Debut ripped the head,
the beautiful manicured head of Reese Walschoff. And you know what,
ten years ago when Mark Guy or fifteen twenty years ago,
when Mark Guy was beating the crap out of Wally
Lewis would.

Speaker 3 (07:57):
Have been play on.

Speaker 1 (07:57):
Yeah, not today, ladies and gentlemen. Not today. He got
sent off. But there was a great video stream from
the guys from Hello Sport who do his watch alongs,
and this is their reaction to the head high him.
I mean, don't read him, don't read he's he's been
a thousand.

Speaker 3 (08:18):
Ready, Oh my.

Speaker 4 (08:23):
Fuck off?

Speaker 2 (08:24):
You're serious?

Speaker 3 (08:25):
Oh my god?

Speaker 1 (08:28):
It was Accidental's gone soft gone So I love that.
I wasie Game's gone soft.

Speaker 3 (08:42):
The lovely respuls that we loved. And then I hated
him so much when the Broncos knocked us out where
he was out. Hated him so much, loved him so much,
hated him so so much. But did you see that
interview with him afterwards, and you know he's saying it
wasn't too bad, but he didn't seem able to remember
what had happened. It was a little bit foggy for him.

Speaker 1 (08:58):
This is great, This is ruggble because he got he
passed his HIA. Yeah, so he got knock the f
out like a massive shoulder to the head passes HIA.
But since it was a Category one tackle he had,
he wasn't allowed to come back on even.

Speaker 3 (09:12):
Though it passes HIA. So great to see that that's.

Speaker 1 (09:15):
Going to add a little bit of neggle to the
next game.

Speaker 3 (09:17):
It certainly is, but I mean, I'm not saying it's intentional.
He did sort of slip a bit low. But you've
got to say it was a pyric victory for New
South Wales because in there, down down a man for
the whole of the game seven minutes, take a guy's
hit off.

Speaker 1 (09:30):
But there at least they're alad thirteen New south Wales
down to twelve. Yeah, for the rest of the game.

Speaker 3 (09:34):
Yeah yeah, But that's what from the point of view
of New South Wales. You've you've got this, but you
now you're playing the game for twelve, so you may
have enforced some kind.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
Of Do you think that was the they didn't think
they actually targeted Resworld.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
I don't think so, because he would have had to
have slipped a bit lower to hit him the way
he hit him. I mean, he didn't lead.

Speaker 1 (09:52):
With the shoulder he was he was going down. I
reckon going down.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
I don't know would you would you be able to
get someone on debut in to go, Okay, mat, I've
got to take one for the you got to take
one for the team. Well, you've got to take reswols
just I can eat off of the first ten. It's
like it's a terrible strategy.

Speaker 1 (10:10):
Well, have you heard a great, famous story that gets
retold and retold about Peter Faddy Alofah. Yeah, his first
when he played for Auckland MPC team and he was
you know, he was fresh into New Zealand. He didn't
speak a lot of English. Peter Fuddy loafa. And at halftime,
the coach apparently well being John Hard or someone like,

(10:32):
got Peter Fuddy a lofa in the corner and said,
you are the biggest guy on the field. I need
you to get ferocious. I need you to go out
there and get ferocious. Okay, And he's like, you know, yes,
boss whatever, Yeah, And he goes out and plays an
absolute blinder of a second half. And then the changing room,
you know, the coach Pats one of everyone goes, mate,
Fats had awesome game. And then he pulled the coach

(10:52):
aside and he's like, I think he coached, but he goes,
who is ferocious?

Speaker 3 (11:01):
That's good story. That's a great that's a good story.
You got a story like that, it'll get you through
a lot of rugby charity lunches.

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Absolutely on that. Yeah, so yeah, that was that was
Peter fans anyway. I mean Queensland absolutely humped them a
record score thirty eight points to ten blue all sorts
of records out of the water, old, poor old die.
Henwin News a New South Wales fan had to call
it last night on skys Night.

Speaker 3 (11:26):
He sounded he said it broken at the end of that.
I'll tell you what respect to Ben Hurley because I
was shooting a TV show with him yes out in
Henderson until I think we finished up shooting at ten
past ten. I get home and he hasn't gone home.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
He went straight here.

Speaker 3 (11:43):
He came straight here and jumped on the mic.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
Yeah, well he was, he was, so what's going on?
He thought things would be over by them because he
committed to it. And then last night yesterday sent me
a panic text saying I'm doing some shooting out in Henderson.
We have finished with a half ten. So I said,
it's okay. The pants man can be sidelined. And I
was like, yeah, you have seen me commentatory. I could
probably I can talk for eighty minutes. Yeahout problems, but

(12:05):
I see that I'd be good. And he said like
I'll just come straight here for the second half and
I say, ye're good.

Speaker 3 (12:08):
On you on your being here.

Speaker 1 (12:10):
But he's a big he's a big Queensland man, so
he come here with a massive heart on.

Speaker 3 (12:14):
He's just been racing in down the motorway with a
massive heart on it one hundred and forty k to
get to the studio to make the guy wear it.

Speaker 1 (12:22):
Do you think that that's a defense in court if
you get done speeding one hundred and forty k. I
was hard.

Speaker 3 (12:27):
It was hard for the Maroon. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (12:29):
I couldn't control myself. It's like I can't control that
and I can't control my foot when I'm the.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Good guy on this, I've just been shooting a TV
showed at ten thirty. I'm the good guy here. I'm
trying to get in to do a bloody commentary for
the State of o May. I'm not the villain here
and my down is he Australian as my I don't
know if as your doubt. I know for a fact
that Ben Hooley's downstairs is connected to his right foot.
Yeah it is, And so when he's hard, the right

(12:54):
foot tenses and goes forward, so he's accelerating fully hard. Yeah,
he's a victim in this. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:00):
Anyway, we'll take a quick break here and we'll be
back with some sports washing and some T twenty World
Cup action. Okay, sports washing. Matt Heath and I Stewart
and I have said, bring on the washing. We're filthy.
We need to be washed. When someone from the middle
is going to take over the small podcast niche world

(13:21):
of the gender, and we'll happily do it from read well,
how we'll do it from Doha.

Speaker 3 (13:28):
I'm in wash Us. I didn't give a shit about atrocities.
I've got flies all around me. I don't care.

Speaker 1 (13:33):
Yeah, let's do it. I'll ban my wife from driving
all that. Oh we're a burker, Yeah, burker, lurker, all
the whole lot.

Speaker 3 (13:41):
Anyway, So one point six billion dollars for some rugger.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Yes, it's getting close. It's getting close. It's what I'm saying.
It's getting close. So we've asked for it. We've opened
the door. They're knocking on everyone else's door. We've got
ours a jar. We're like, come on in.

Speaker 3 (13:55):
Come on. It's brilliant because they just don't piss around.
I know this has been said a lot. But it's
just so much money that it doesn't matter if you
grew at a Thunberg, You're going to take it. You know.
It's just there's there's that saying, you know, money talks,
bullshit walks. Yeah, and it's so true. So you you
come in with something that people could probably pick up
for one hundred million, yeah, and you go one point

(14:16):
six billion and they go, well.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
You've just asking price is only a hundred.

Speaker 3 (14:21):
Yeah, one point six billion, we'll do it for one twinter. No,
we want to give you one point six billion. It's
so much freakin' money that there's no question the fact
that it's a country of three hundred thousand who have
never shown any interest in rugby, No worries, No, it
doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Don't care, don't care. So Kitar. They're closing and like
you said, one point six million dollar deal to host
billion the billion sorry, rugby's Nations Championship final for eight years.
So this is the championship they're holding between World Cups. Yeah,
so and they host it, and I.

Speaker 3 (14:53):
Mean the whole thing, the whole thing is a bit
of a Rugby World Cup killer.

Speaker 1 (14:57):
Oh absolutely. But also I think there's a part of
it is the Katari royal family who are responsible for
all this, in the Katari Investment Fund and all that.
They're like, hey, we built these stadiums for the FIFA, yeah,
and like we need to use them. And I was like, wow,
we're gonna have to get teams over here, so I
don't care. Just can make it make out like you're
using them again.

Speaker 3 (15:16):
The amount of money they have, they could fly in
New Zealand, crowds over there to watch. I could fly
in twenty thousand kiwis.

Speaker 1 (15:22):
Well, we've got a direct flight from Katar for Eakland,
so just constantly fly us over there.

Speaker 3 (15:26):
Yeah, we'll go to the games.

Speaker 1 (15:27):
Just move us over there.

Speaker 3 (15:28):
We don't give a shit.

Speaker 1 (15:29):
Move Move one hundred thousand all Blacks fans to Doha. Yah,
put them up in a village. Yeah, they can talk
about code and put scrumbs down at night and it
looks bloody great and then go go to the game.

Speaker 3 (15:39):
It's it's a real like because because if you look
at it's all the six nation teams and it's the
Sansar teams, and then it's going to be probably Japan
and Fiji.

Speaker 1 (15:46):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (15:47):
Boy, that's that's rough being out in the cold on
that isn't it if you're if you're if you're out
of the cold on that tournament, like I don't know
some more and Tonga and the US, Yeah, Canada, Georgia
is not in there, so like they're calling it the
Rugby super Bowl.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Yeah, which what happens? I think that they said that
they would host the finals of it, so I think
they have it for a week and then they have
the semis there and the final, but the preliminary games
are still played around the world to kind of a
champions League type thing, and it's just always guitar. I'm going,
I'm going to super Bowl. I'm going.

Speaker 3 (16:22):
They need to call it something else. So when's the
first one? Twenty twenty six?

Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yeah, they need any name for it, though, I can't
call it super Bowl. What's the good? What's a good
rugby analogy? The Super Cup?

Speaker 3 (16:31):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (16:31):
Instinct, doesn't it? The They have to have super in
it probably a yeah, the.

Speaker 3 (16:38):
Super scrum, the super vessel, the line out, the ruck,
the super ruck, the super ruck, the right ruck, your face,
ruck me, ruck me, ruck me. It's the Super Final.

Speaker 1 (16:53):
Anyway, It's let's see, it'll be called something amazing, like
the Nation's Championship.

Speaker 3 (16:57):
Cup, but that's rugby is going to be so weird
now because you know, like the six Nations is that
we've got the Rugby Championship, We've got this going on,
We've got the World Cup every four years. It's it's
it's gonna be interesting, isn't it like.

Speaker 1 (17:11):
It is going to be it's but it's a it's
gonna be a But we're.

Speaker 3 (17:15):
Also trying to bring in tours as well, so we're
also on top of that. We also want to a
four Lions to full Lions tour. A talk of tours,
tours to New Zealand.

Speaker 1 (17:25):
Again, the Lions are touring next year to Australia.

Speaker 3 (17:27):
Yeah, and I didn't know.

Speaker 1 (17:28):
Someone just pointed out to me, but we should target
Adelaide and I think that maybe the twelfth of July
next year because it's an ANZAC fifteen versus the Lions
on a Saturday at the Adelaide Oval. Oh really yeah,
So that and Adelaide is a good time. That new
stadium is a good time and it's going to be
an ANZAC fifteen. It's very made up of one of
super ruggby players from both sides against the Lions, and

(17:52):
I was like, shit, yeah, I'm under that.

Speaker 3 (17:54):
Let's do that, let's target that.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
Yeah, so look out for the Ultra B tour toad,
meaning to it to Adelaide. Speaking of which, T twenty
World Cup has gone underway. It's kind of underway. But
since we haven't played yet, I don't really care. No,
so said they said the eleven thirty in the morning.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
We've got the battle that everyone in America is waiting
for New Zealand versus Afghanistan.

Speaker 1 (18:20):
Yeah, they are. I wonder if the US are playing
in Afghanistan in America. That would be interesting, wouldn't that.

Speaker 3 (18:27):
Yeah, because they've played before but not yet credit No,
so you know that might be You've been putting your
money on Afghanistan there, wouldn't you in that particular skirmish, well.

Speaker 1 (18:39):
And any other skuamish. I think they've went eventually, don't they.

Speaker 3 (18:42):
Yeah, they do that that it might you know, it's
not gonna you know, it wasn't a twenty over contest,
but they eventually they just held out.

Speaker 1 (18:49):
With So Pakistan smashed Ireland by eight wickets. No one
really cares because it's a new format here. They're going
back to the Super Super sixers, so top two teams
go through to Super Sixers. Then it's like basic knockout
to the final.

Speaker 3 (19:05):
Do you think there's too many World Cricket World Cups?

Speaker 1 (19:09):
No, you don't, No, I don't.

Speaker 3 (19:11):
I think there's there's been a backup of them.

Speaker 1 (19:13):
Yeah, there's been a bit.

Speaker 3 (19:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (19:15):
People are confused because fifty over we had last year,
we had the Aussie one, yeah, because they had been
delayed from COVID. Yeah, we had India, Australia and this
one all put into like three years. So people are like,
why is there so many T twenty Cup? It should
only be every two years.

Speaker 3 (19:30):
Yeah, right, So that is the idea, but it just
it's just yeah, it's just COVID and if it moves,
it all really backs it up, you know, to like
being under a year three and six. Yeah, whatever day is.
But it is interesting because even though the fifty over
game is kind of waning in importance, the fifty over
World Cup seems to be the real World Cup, and
the Tea twenty one feels a bit novelty, doesn't it.

Speaker 1 (19:52):
Yeah, it does, and it kind of I like the
fact that the Tea twenty anyone can really win, like
Western needs have one other couple of times, you know,
Pakistan and won. You know, people teams teams that, and
then you look at fifty over Western He's never going
to win the fifty over again. Ever, I don't think no,
it's it is true cricket because you can have proper

(20:13):
cricket players in there. It has ebbs and flows. It's
a mini Test match. You can lose five wickets and
be at one hundred, but you can make it back
and get to twenty, you know. But you lose five
wickets and two twenty you're gone.

Speaker 3 (20:22):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
But I like it in the fact that it's over
in three and a half weeks. Yeah, so it starts now,
it's all over the finals in like two and a
half weeks time.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (20:31):
So I quite like that that it is over and
it's done because the fifty over takes about eight weeks.

Speaker 3 (20:37):
Yeah, it takes a long time.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
Yeah, And then there's the World Test Championship. But I
don't think any lay person, who person who's not really
interested in cricket should even worry about the World Test Championship.

Speaker 3 (20:46):
I think that's for cricket nerds like we already won it,
so it's never.

Speaker 1 (20:51):
But that's one you don't try and don't try and
explain the World Test Championship to someone just getting into cricket.

Speaker 3 (20:57):
Yeah, don't bother, just say like that. It's nice. I
saw it an onion you know, an onion post and
it was like, you know, the American satorical newspaper, and
it's seed to excite fans. Cricket shortened to seven days,
seven day games because the Americans don't understand it at all.
They're like, I don't understand that they're not playing the

(21:19):
Test version of it. Yeah, playing the T twenty vision. Yeah,
it's confused. There's a lot of people over there just
sit down and there scratching the head because they would have.

Speaker 1 (21:26):
Been like, I thought this was a five day game.
It's only three hours now.

Speaker 3 (21:28):
No, no, no, no, this one day ones and there's
T twenty ones. It's like, oh my god. You know
they don't do that with baseball, do they. They don't
do it with the But that's what we do with
our sports, don't we. Because we got like league, rugby,
union seven sevens, and then you bring in Australia, you've
got the A F l you know, we just divide
it up, divided the audiences, that divide the audiences, you know,

(21:51):
split it all up.

Speaker 1 (21:54):
So the Aussies take on Oman today. Iman Oman actually
aren't too bad. Is quite a big Indian expect in
Southeast Asian expect population in Oman. So they'll go all right,
you'll p and g turned up, didn't they. Yeah, there's
some teams in there that I'm like, U Gander. I mean,
I didn't know how much crickit's played in Uganda, but

(22:14):
obviously doing it for a reason. T twenty you can
expand it to you twenty teams and it's okay, so
good on them. But it all kicks off for New
Zealand on Saturday. It's a super Saturday because we've got
eleven thirty New Zealand Afghanistan Skysport nine. We're commentating that.
I think it's me yourself and Lee Baker. Oh what
a team doing that one, and then straight into Super
Rugba at four o'clock and then seven thirty and then

(22:38):
the Warriors now seventh sorry and then Warriors at seven thirty.

Speaker 3 (22:41):
So it's a super sety. Yeah, I'm not sure I'm
going to get because I'm off to Eden Park to
watch the Blues and I'm like, you're going to have
I'm gonna have to complete radio silence on the Warriors
or just have the Warriors up on the What I
did on your on your phone or something in the
box the TV over to the Phoenix when you're in

(23:02):
the box in the box, I know, but there was
people like, you can't be sitting here watching soccer, mate,
you're in the box at Eton Park for the footy.
But you know, wow, you can. I mean people say
you can't, but I did. Yeah, so what do you
mean you can't?

Speaker 5 (23:17):
Right?

Speaker 1 (23:18):
NBA Finals they kick off Friday, the Celtics versus the MAVs.
You're following much yet, I say, Tolmy and I Stuart.
It's about now I get interested in the NBA same.
So there's so many meaningless games.

Speaker 3 (23:29):
It goes for so long. There's thousands of games that
everyone knows doesn't count, and then you get to this
point and then even only just starts to heat up. Now.
But but this is where this is, This is when
you joined basketball answers. This is the bandwagon. Jump on now.
Absolutely it is the bandwagon.

Speaker 1 (23:43):
I'm torn actually because I love Boston Celtics, and I
love defans. I love how rugged the fans are and
they tune up with those big gold necklaces and they're
just absolute mutants. But I also love the MAVs because
I quite like Luka Doncic. I quite like the fact
that he carves up. He's very unassuming kind of people.
A lot of people hate him, but I quite like him. Yeah,
so I'm a bit torn.

Speaker 3 (24:04):
I listened to Bill Burr and Bill Simmons, so like,
I'm very I'm very down the Boston hole. Oh okay, yeah,
you're fully invested in the Celtics. Plus I had a
pair of Larry Bird socks when I was growing up.

Speaker 1 (24:16):
Did they go all the way Yeah?

Speaker 3 (24:17):
All the way up?

Speaker 1 (24:17):
And I was very happy with those socks. So you know,
that was a very bird. Just looking back at footage
of Larry Bird, what is going on there?

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Like terrible looking human being so good though, so good, but.

Speaker 1 (24:30):
Just unusual and all in all shapes. And the thing
is he looked like a bird. He looked like he
looked like a bird. He looked like big bird off
Sesame Street.

Speaker 3 (24:40):
That was confusing as a child that looked like a
bird or so that he plays in slow motion. Yeah, yeah,
it looks like it highlights real Yeah. Yeah, it's a
bit like joke it she's looking at that. He's he
plays in slow mo. He's very he's just in a
similar mold.

Speaker 1 (24:52):
Yeah. So that kicks off on Friday. So at the moment,
I look at the wall at the odds tomorrow with
our sports book on that because heaps and money, loads
of money coming on the NBA with the tab. So
we'll have a look at the odds tomorrow. But for now,
let's take a quick break because we've got some more
yours pleases are coming hopefully none with loose stools.

Speaker 3 (25:15):
Yeah ways, yet they'll be coming in on Monday, yeah tomorrow. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (25:19):
So yeah, we're back with yours please, yours please, brought
you by Leader Home of the Right, but of yours please,
but a feedback. We love the feedback that comes in
through our talkback function little microphone on your ihet app.
If you are listening on iHeart. If you're not listening
on iHeart, that's cool, we still love you. But if

(25:42):
you want to switch over to our iHeart, you can
actually use this function and send us often abusive messages.
Call it yours please good.

Speaker 5 (25:52):
Oh boys, Crispy Cock here, don't worry, the lights are on.
Just sick thoughts on the Crusaders for since they haven't
made the finals, to jump the cook straight and support
the Hurricanes to big if you middle finger to Auckland
because if they would have won, Aucklands would be unbearable

(26:13):
for the next year anyway.

Speaker 3 (26:15):
Who wrote good insights? Krispy Cox.

Speaker 1 (26:17):
Yeah, Krispy Coxs got interesting there. I mean, I'm quite
interestried the Crusaders fans, to be honest with you, they've
been pretty quiet. They have been very quiet and a
little humble.

Speaker 3 (26:29):
They have actually a little humble, like I work with
one every day, Mash Yeah and he and he's just
a little They've had just an orgy of riches for
so long. You know, it's it's not quite the same.
It's not like it's not like a lifetime of heartache,
you know. So they this is a little bit of
heartache for them, but the heartache, but you know what
I mean, it's not but I would imagine being an

(26:51):
Otago fan going up against Canterbury your whole life. Yeah
that's heartache, Yes, that's real heartache. Just just absolutely creaming
it for years and years and years, years and years
and then having a shitter. That's not proper heartache.

Speaker 1 (27:03):
What what I'll ask you is you're obviously you're a
blue Lander, You're born in the South. She's roll in
your mouth.

Speaker 3 (27:10):
Yeah, Although interestingly, had Jeff Wilson on the show and
I was full Lander when he was in oh when
he was in there and mentioned the Blues.

Speaker 1 (27:19):
Who are the Crusaders fans second favorite team? Is it
the Highlanders? Surely the Mainlanders?

Speaker 3 (27:25):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (27:27):
I don't know if it is, so it must be
the Canes then, because it's certainly not.

Speaker 3 (27:31):
I just get the feeling they're not like that because
everyone else in the country's second favorite team is the Highlanders. Yeah, absolutely, yeah,
everyone loves them. But Canterbury. I'd love to hear this
because Cannabrey, because you know, like growing up down there,
Canterbury just does not rate a target at all. They
just think it's a poohole and they rub it in
all the time. And I just think that's they just

(27:52):
wouldn't even look that. There's such assholes that they don't
even look south. They look north, right, they look north.
All their all their hatred is North. They just hate Auckland.
In fact, they don't even They look over Wellington and
hate Auckland, but I just don't think they even acknowledge South.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
So you reckon that. Crispy Cock's onto something here. The
re Reckons, the Crusaders fan base just focus laser in
onto the Hurricanes.

Speaker 3 (28:15):
I think I think that would be. I think that's
more likely than them than them supporting the Highlanders, to
be fair.

Speaker 1 (28:19):
Because there's no way the Chiefs will Blue, so there's
no you can they pretty much lump those two regions.
Anything north of Topoor, yeah, forget about that's it could
be Auckland. It could be like Otto, who is disgusting.
Yeah to them, they revolted by it, So not a
bad And obviously he said, if the Blues win, you'll
cry about it. Of course I'll cry about it because
they haven't won it and so many so with the Chiefs. Yeah,

(28:40):
and so will the so will the Hurricanes. They will
be unbearable. My Hurricanes makes they're going to be unbearable.

Speaker 3 (28:46):
But will people say it's a win with an esterix
because the Crusaders didn't make playoffs, so it's a win
with an estis. Have you one of this you've beaten.

Speaker 1 (28:55):
That's the kind of thing that I asure because he's
always goes on about the members super rugby out here
districts one where the Blues and Crusaders din't even played
each other during round robin and the Blues won it. Yeah,
still crows on about that.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
Yeah, so I think that's I think the Crusaders are
kind of running a low key line that this is
how arrogant they are the Crusaders fans that they're like,
because we didn't make it, this isn't into the playoffs,
that you haven't really been tested in the playoffs.

Speaker 1 (29:18):
That's can agree? Okay, next one yours please?

Speaker 6 (29:21):
With the T twenty World Cup looming this coming Saturday,
I'd just like to start the conversation far early, can
Joe Jo? Can you please make sure that Gilane's passport
is confiscated and hidden? Yeah, so he has no particular
way at all getting over to the West Indies. We
don't need that man at the final if anything was

(29:42):
your needs, we need a little bit.

Speaker 3 (29:44):
Of Black Caps glory.

Speaker 1 (29:46):
Come on, Jess Fox, South Canterbury.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yeah, what was that?

Speaker 1 (29:51):
Was that a bell movement at the end or did
he just kick a can or was a bell movement.

Speaker 3 (29:54):
It was a break that dropped out of there anyway. Yeah,
so do we know where the if they picked with
the what was going to be played?

Speaker 1 (30:00):
I think it's in Barbados, at.

Speaker 3 (30:02):
Barbados Lord's Imitation Stadium. I love it.

Speaker 1 (30:05):
I think it's Barbados. See me, I'll quickly I'll quickly
search this up because I have been to Barbados before
in a ill advised trip to watch the fifty over
Cricket World Cup Final when I booked it when I
thought we were going to win the semi against Ri
Lanka and I ended up watching US Australia plays Sri

(30:26):
Lanka in the final and I got mugged. I woke
up on a beach with my belongings. So it was
a great trip all round.

Speaker 3 (30:32):
So was there a hangout your eight? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (30:36):
I can't remember. I cannot remember. It was interesting thing
to forget. It was a big night.

Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (30:44):
Right, let's look at the final. The final as on
during the thirtieth it is in. It doesn't say, it
does not say, but I'm picking it's going to be
either Barbados or Trinidad. Yeah, so look, if we make
the final.

Speaker 3 (31:01):
It's a tradition.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
I have to go. So if we make the final,
I am going I need to break this curse, and
there's only one way of doing it, and that is
attending more games.

Speaker 3 (31:09):
How many until we win arts? Will you break on
your way to breaking the curse? Though?

Speaker 1 (31:13):
That's as many as I need to, as many as
I need to.

Speaker 3 (31:16):
Yeah, and that's just a fact.

Speaker 1 (31:19):
Is any way I'm going to break it. Otherwise, what
am I going to do? Just sit at home and
get colonoscopies every Monday?

Speaker 3 (31:25):
Yeah, well I could do that. Well. I'm in an
interesting situation with the pen on War situation because I've
drunk right through and now we're in a good record.

Speaker 1 (31:34):
Keep going.

Speaker 3 (31:36):
So I got two, I got the three. It's actually
looking pretty good now, the pen on War record, it's
actually even out. But we really need to do something
good against the cab.

Speaker 1 (31:44):
You've got the reverse Cowgirls on Saturday. You should win
that back to full strength. We'll discuss that tomorrow. But
like you're gonna lean into the pin and one, I
can you just give the finger to the pen and Ones.
Now you've got people like Manie Due who get upset
about it.

Speaker 3 (31:55):
You know, it's funny when when I staid on the
very day that he really ripped into me and I
had a low serratone that day, there was a no
state to deal with it. I had been a biggie
big weekend. I had nothing emotionally in the tank and
the last bit of emotion if you always make things
about you. And then the very next minute, he posted
a picture of himself who was retiring. Ah, it was

(32:19):
the final game for God damn it, I can't remember.
And and and I posted a picture himself on the
acc himself photoshopped into a picture of a player retiring.
Just find it.

Speaker 1 (32:30):
And I was like, damn it, God, damn it, damn it,
You're gonna let you back in there. I'm gonna lean
into the curse. And then if people can say the
high bat passports, I'm just going to tell that caller
of it, you've got two passports.

Speaker 3 (32:40):
Yeah, yeah, that's right. You've got to ask you. We've
got to fight back against these people because they you
stick your head up and they try and blame We
can't be one of those countries that that that slams initiatives,
you know, and your initiative and your you know your
gumption and your key we battler spirit to get over
to these games. It needs to be respected. It may
scuttle the game, that's fine. Oh look, it's not easy

(33:03):
to the way you risk your marriage in year out
to support the teams you love.

Speaker 1 (33:08):
No one mentions that.

Speaker 3 (33:09):
No one mentions the sacrifice that grim Lane's making. No
one mentions that the absolute carnage that has been committed
in your bank accounts. Absolutely, the amount of unhappy shrips
have been piled on your already gigantic mortgage.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
The amount of revenge purchases that come from my wife
untold amount of financial.

Speaker 3 (33:29):
About that, And they don't get a shit about me
arriving to work on a bloody Monday morning to do
the Mattagery breakfast Shire with a raging red wine hangover,
no no serotonin because I can't stop if I have
two glasses of anything, I'm in for the night. No
one thinks about that. No one thinks about our freaking
sacrifice that we make for these stupid things we do.

(33:49):
So how about a bit of goddamn support out there, exactly,
sporting community, you know, Yeah, Fox South Canterbury, Yeah, Fux
South Canbury. That's one.

Speaker 1 (34:00):
Yours please yours please.

Speaker 7 (34:03):
You get a long time listen, my first time caller,
just catching up on some episodes after being over in
Germany doing a rikie for the pub Caral this year
and on the all Back suite. Do you think they'd
have an Ellie Williams consume service where you can, you know,
go down and ask when Ellie Williams and someone will
show up with some of the Parisian sneezing powder.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Just a thought. That's the good, that's the that's referring
back to when we discussed the All Blacks Hotel that
has been mooted for the Key Park and the fact
that if it's going to be All Blacks Hotel, I'm
expecting offer Tom with Fussy on the door. I want
Aaron Smith as the bell hop. I want being from
accounts in the back office. And this is referring to
obviously Ali Williams and the and the Beggy oh yeah,

(34:47):
and the Beggy situation sort of like a beggy bell boy. Yeah,
so you could ass a room service. I'm just bring
out Ali Williams and King for a qing for a
Beggy and it gets a livered to your room. But
I think it the only way you can have an
all blacks hotel as if fully lean into it. Yeah,
you've got former all blacks in, they're doing jobs. Otherwise
it's just.

Speaker 3 (35:07):
Going to be a right cleaning the toilet.

Speaker 1 (35:09):
Yeah, you got John Gallagher, he's buying the bar, mixing cocktails, smoking,
Joe Stanley, he would run it.

Speaker 3 (35:17):
David Kirk. David Kirk would be the running what's the
top the top job at a hotel at.

Speaker 1 (35:25):
Very successful businessman obviously David Kirk, maybe David Cook maybe
still on the board. Yeah, yep, a board of directors.
But you know i'd have Tane Randall running the joint.

Speaker 3 (35:33):
Seawan's fit Patrick you might want to have in some
kind of leadership role. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (35:37):
They have Norm Hewitt behind the bar as well, mixing
cocktails and put and you know if you lock yourself
out of your room, you'll smash in the ranch slader
and get you in.

Speaker 3 (35:43):
Norm Hewitt. Yeah, yeah, yep, yep, I think we can
still get him.

Speaker 1 (35:50):
I mean behind the desk. You probably want some good
lookers behind the desk just to welcome guests.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
Spencer con situation.

Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, absolutely, Carlos, you're probably talking who's the dream boat
that James mcconey's in love with for my chief Richard Richard.
You want Richard car And yeah, and I mean obviously
you want Ruben Love there as well. And imagine that.
Imagine people will be queuing out the door.

Speaker 3 (36:12):
To check in. You got room for Dan Carter in there?

Speaker 1 (36:15):
Yeah, potentially maybe, I don't know, work in the rooms.

Speaker 3 (36:18):
I can see Kieren Reid running a bar. Yeah, you know,
running running.

Speaker 1 (36:22):
Someone who's ran the buffet Ian Foster.

Speaker 3 (36:25):
Yeah, I Steve Hanson. You have Steve Hanson, and you
know you want people that are x buffet experts. You
I'd love, I'd love the ad for it, and we've got.

Speaker 1 (36:42):
You have choices. You have choices. You can go to
the Hanson or the Foster.

Speaker 3 (36:46):
The Henson Foster, the biggest buffet in Auckland, in Auckland.

Speaker 1 (36:50):
Anyway, that was a good sush. Yeah, I mean yeah,
you could beggar from it. If anyway, like that's a
shame that'll never have The hotel will never happen. But
if it does, maybe we should build that fantasy hotel.
So if you think suggest any other all blacks for
any other jobs within the all black hotel let us
know on the talkback, we'll slide into the teams, but
we'll be back tomorrow with another agenda. Also, we'll be

(37:14):
back tomorrow with the ACC Sports Book, which is on
a bit of a heater if you got your pens
out last week with Carl from the Tab, so we're
releasing that tomorrow as well. But until then, see you.
