Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live for the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra the Bear for here. This is
the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the twenty second of July.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by an Export a Vulture.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Morning Lane out of Witness Protection.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Yeah, look, I tell you what. Witness protection is great.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
If you didn't have to have your kids with you, yeah,
it would be it would be like a holiday.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Well they make you go with your kids and yeah,
you got your kids there the whole time and they're
just nagging you.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
It's for their own safety. Yeah, that down there as well.
But how was it?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
How was your week?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Yeah it was good.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
It wasn't too bad at all in roads there. Yeah wet, Yeah,
it was wet around every I think. But yeah, it's
disappointing when you're on holiday.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
And there's so many appearents that are just like rejoicing
to Jesus this morning that their kids are going back
to school.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
So, yeah, they did it tough that second week in
the rain.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I honestly reckon that parental leave should be enforced for
all school holidays. It's ridiculous that we make parents still
stick like have to try and juggle work, but then
all the kids are sped out into the ye wide world. Yeah, like,
I mean, you know, admittedly, one of my children ended
up on the Locals Facebook page from making a disturbance
in the library. Oh and I was like, okay, look,
(01:17):
I can take that. He's not you know, selling drugs
or stealing cars. He's making a disturbance in the library. Yeah,
that's way down the list of like Code Brown at
the poles, you know, doing drugs stuff and paint whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
But he's at the library. Disturbance of the library.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Did he got a few Karens after apparently they're rude
to the librarian, but he reckons the couple of Karens
and they started filming them and following them around the library,
following the kids around. It was weird, But anyway, I
don't know what the rules are around following them around
filming them.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
That's what happens when Yeah, that's this point was brought
up by my eldest, which didn't go down well with
the Karens because he knew knew his rights more than
the Karens did. Say yeah, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Anyway, good to heavy back, Glad toav back on board
and in the studio. I want to start with the Warriors.
I know it was Friday night, but jeez, that was
a tough one. A lot of people have asked me
this morning, Oh, jeez, how did you feel about that one.
I've gotta be honest, I kind of felt the same
way I felt for the last two months.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I've kind of already.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Resigned yourself to the fact that the Warriors it's not
the yar.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It was when we had to win like ninety percent
of our games for the rest of the year. I
was like, we're going to drop one or two and
then all of a sudden it's going to be like, wow,
do you put a line through them? I think, do
you think it was Shaidel Harris Tavita's fault that we
lost that game.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
On ndred percent? Not his fault because he's the fourth's
during kickick because you have Shaan Johnson Pompey paining to
a picky and then he probably doesn't even practice. I
can't imagine your fourth choice of goal kicker even practices.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So, but he doesn't even kick if he even if
he was playing down in New South Wales Cup. He
wouldn't have been kicking there. They've got you know they're
gonna fallback, they can kick their halves.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think it's not his fault.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But Webby did come out and say the Kicks didn't
let us lose us the game.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They did.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
The Kicks definitely lost the game, but it wasn't But
it wasn't Jane Harris Devita's fault.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
No, I agree with you. I don't think it was
his fault. He shouldn't have and there shouldn't have been
any stress. He was beating himself up after the game.
But I always have the like mindset of if I
shouldn't have been doing it, then I've got that. I
don't feel any pressure in the situation, so I should
fuck this up. Do you know whose fault it is? Yes,
Chris Keys, it is Chris Kese this. I've got the audio.
I pulled the audio this morning. Have a listen to this.
(03:29):
It is one of the all time a SEC commentators curses.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And the try has been confirmed.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
And I tell you what, me and I not even
Chanel Harris de Vita can miss it from there. I
hope that could go down as one of the all
time commentators.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Curses Chris, I hope you're wrong. Surely not draw draw
the game.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Surely not the way he just squinted his eyes here
literally posts in front of him right now, do I
He looked at the post way up and looking at
the screen the whole game.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
That's on you.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So he shacked around the door at me. Yet that
fair enough.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I'm so sorry everyone, I am so sorry for that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Don't go all quiet. Fuck you man.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I got quiet because I was waging up when whether
or not to use it. I mean, look, it was
it was ten to twelve, like it was so late
as well. I stayed up to watch that, and I
stayed up to watch the State of Origin on Wednesday.
I was done with rugby league by the end of
the week.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I was done.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
God.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I had to have a nap after arguably being over
served at the pub on front afternoon.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But there's by the bike. I just was that the
pause was.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I was looking at Cris being like, you probably don't
like I know, we're on the adult channel. You probably
don't get too many IF bombs in a season. I
was like, if I'm ever going to use one, it's
when our season goes out the window on a commentator's curse. Yeah,
and I'm sorry to the other but I had to
express how I felt and how I think a lot
of New Zealanders felt. Yeah, and I think it summed
it up because we're also looking for someone to put
(05:03):
it on absolutely.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
And Chris Key is the one. So Chris Key Man.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Another highlight of.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The game, it was going around on social media, was
the you know they do when you play in camera?
They blow the Viking Yes, which is such a crocod
shit that last year they had a guy come out
and he was on his deathbit. He's about ninety eight
years old and he blew it. I was like, no,
he's like dying of impisema and he's up there blowing
a thirty foot horn.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
No he's not. So they've obviously got a button and
the theater.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Don't run the theater, you curmudget.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So we were talking about that in the commentary and
the build up to it, and we were talking about
it so much that we got distracted and didn't notice
that there was a guy ripping a cam cone directly
behind him, which is old schools to fashion a cancne
I've always said, give us stone to some weed and
nothing to smoke it with, and you'll give birth to
a physician that.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Would rival Albert Einstein.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
They'll just find an apple or a pineapple or a
cone or whatever.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And I thought that was one of the most rugby
league things of all times.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah, and he was celebrated throughout the rugby league community
as well, ended up on RL roast everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Absolutely, it's it is one of the you know over
in the States and they're legalizing it and blah blah blah'
saying it's not a drug that grows in the dirt.
Nothing makes it look more like doing drugs than smoking
it out of the can and sparking up the flame
as well as and he knew he knew exactly when
he was going to be in frame because they focus
(06:27):
on the horn and he knew it as soon as
he can hear his mates kap now now, and he's like, yeah,
So in the commentary bit that we've posted up on
social media, you can hear me going, look, it doesn't
line up with the lungs at all, but I'm talking
about the guy blowing the horn. But in the background,
I had no idea. There was a guy ripping a
can cone as well. I was at the bus stop
the other day and a guy pulled up at the
(06:49):
intersection in a ute and just ripped the can cone
at the red light and then carried on, presumably to work.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I have seen a van full of painters out side
a bar in Auckland at the traffic lights, and I
was sitting outside. It was down kind of by Britamart
and the guy in the front seat just had a
huge bong and he ripped the bong and then just
passed it to the back, and there were three other
dudes in the back.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
If you're in a paper's van, you might as well
just take the lids off the paint and roll the
windows up, probably of the same effect. But shout out
to the cancn Go anyway, if you want to head
to a Warrior's game, we've got a VIP experience for
you to win all thanks to Helenstein's. We want to
hook you up with an exclusive opportunity to be that
VIP at the Warriors. You're going to score yourself tickets,
(07:37):
cash money for food and beverages, plus vouchers to be
cutted out by the legends at Helenstein's to get in
the draw text VIP to three two three six. It's
vip to three two three six be a VIP at
the Warriors thanks to the ACC and Helenstein's brothers, a
lot of Helenstein's kick getting around at Warriors home games
at the moment. Oh yeah, it's definitely not even just
at Warriors games.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Everywhere you go, leisure club and what's the what's the.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
How they want leisure club? Sporting leisure something like that. Yeah,
but that absolutely everywhere. It's like when you buy a
car and all of a sudden you see the car
overwhere else. I'm now seeing leisure club stuff absolutely everywhere.
We I took one of the hoodies home and it's
immediately been stolen by the missus. Yeah, and she is
just wearing it everywhere. It's too late, it's over. She's
(08:25):
fleeced it. Just well, it is a Monday, so a
bit of accountability from across the weekend. The agenda hunch
you put on Dan Hellier to come top forty Yeah,
and I got you know what the response was from
Joe jury Who's that? When I put it on, I
guess who's that? And like I get a lot of stick.
I who the fuck is that? I think was a response.
(08:45):
I get a lot of stick for some of my
hunches and mainly my midnight gambling early hours in the morning.
But Dan Hillier, as I mentioned, he won the British
Open last year over there in a breakout win. So
I had just had a hunch these conditions which were
difficultre they were difficult.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
They blew out some pretty good, top ranked players and
he made.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
A cat because he I think he started at like
five over yeah, and then he made the cut. Because
when I saw that, I was like Jesus. But then
I saw the leader at that time was like Shane
Lowry was only four under yeah. And I think it
was a Xander Shoffley one. Yes, I think he was
only two under yeah. At the unusual conditions.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's so so the open to have like torrential rain
and like a Tiger Woods shank one and made me
feel so good. I saw him slice went onto the
railway tracks and I was like.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Rory mckleroy, I think I was at home, and I
was like, yes, because that's exactly what I would have done.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
One of us, yeah, one of us.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Wo.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I once hit a cow in side of the head
so hard off of Tea and Wyman. It just snap,
snap a slice and yeah, bounced. He got hard heads
though he wouldn't even notice.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But then I was like looking at the ball, I
could see it. I was like, I'm not going to
net paddock. That's thing's gonna kill me. But anyway, Hilly
already finished nineteenth in the end, Yeah, because we I
chucked the Hundi on him finishing in the top forty. Yeah,
it was the Rick des bit. Yeah, paying teckt these
top forty, paying eight bucks too, so and he comfortably
did it coming nineteenth, and Foxy I think came in
(10:14):
at twenty five. So not on a bad performance from
those two.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Kiwis No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
While we're holding ourselves accountable though our other one was
on the all Blacks game of suf more a Billy
Procter or Artisavia first price score. I think they all scored, yes,
but they weren't the first unfortunately. And then the one
that hurt me the most was Raiders first New Zealand Warriors.
Our hunch for that was a successful field goal in
the match. Yeah, I saw one attempted. Yeah, and then
(10:38):
also we yeah, because we had to snap off a
two point drop. God, because we missed all those cacks.
I was like we're talking about in the commentary as well,
like this is going the way of Golden Point.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That was a golden point.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Game, all ends up, but unfortunately no, and then our
three way hunch car let us down.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Ah. So I think we actually gave you a bit
because you weren't here on Friday because last week he
came in with Mark Talia, so we're like he's been
replaced for Caler Clark. We'll give you Caler Clark again.
Came in yep. I went South Africa v. Portugal. The
line was thirty six and a half. South Africa put
a cricket score on them, and then car let us
(11:16):
down with a donkey at rose Hill, which I think
is still going around this morning, my favorite racing joke.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And so that one didn't come in either.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But not overall, not a bad week for the SEC
and we'll be paying out this Monday, which is always
a good feeling.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I had my I do a hunch on herdecke breakfast
as well, and I had it all blacks forty plus
and a Chiefs player to be the first try scorer.
I was so close.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Who was the first try scorer?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It was Cayleer Clark, Yeah, yeah, it was jabb A
the butt, but second to score I think was cort
Corti and I was like.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, a bit of a blowout. Look, we'll take a
quick break and we come back. We're going to break
down that game over there in San Diego or the
All Blacks went over to snap Dragon Stadium in San
Diego and absolutely demolished FIGI as I think everyone thought
they would. Basically, the game went almost exactly how we
thought it was going to. But I would say that
(12:12):
the first ten to fifteen minutes were hardly a great
advertisement for the game. We no a lot of kicking,
a lot of just kicking backwards and forwards. Yeah, and
it kind I asked the question, and I bought it
up this morning with Matt Jerry.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
It's like, why, Yeah, why was it in San Diego?
Oh why?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I don't think you're going to lock the answer to this.
But I heard that they were gonna host it in Hamilton,
and then San Diego said, look, we've got a bit
of marketing budget, we'll pay us to come over here.
And so New Zealand Rugby had the option to play
in Hamilton or in San Diego. And this might hurt
your feelings, but they decided to play.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
In San Diego.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
As as Matt Heath pointed out this morning, rugby is
under attack from so many codes in New Zealand, whether
it's the NRL, NBA, NFL, in bl in bl you
know what I mean, like just in general, and to
take it away from fans and go elsewhere for a
bit of publicity coin And I don't think that's going
(13:14):
to change anyone's mind that game. No, Like if it
was in dinner Our, they would have been awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
If you'd sold there and sold family packages to flights,
accommodation tickets to all blacks Fiji and dinner ow they'll
buss you over to Nandy or whatever tooka that would
have been awesome.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, that would have been awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And you know, Fiji tourism probably was stumped up a
little bit of cash, probably not as much as San Diego.
How many people are going to San Diego now as
a result of that, not me, just a few junkets.
Bonnie Jensen on a junket. Bonnie Jensen James mcconiy, Yeah,
it will be about it. Yeah, how much did they
pay to go over there? Nothing? And who got interviewed
before the game as well. He's over there, he playing,
(13:56):
isn't he four or five years he's about seventy three
years old and he's still playing. But built for and
they I think they actually played in the semi final
over the weekend, the San Diego Legion. Don't know how
they went a bitter podcast to be able to tell you,
but it was a tri fish that game. It was
sort of like a bit of a boring first half
and then the second half was even more boring because
(14:17):
we started blowing them out.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, and it was like that's.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Like I said, it's a W. Though I see that
to the met and Jerry will take the W. But
I just found it a strange.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Hollow W because it was taken over there or because
of the score. Yeah, it's funny you say that. The
decision between San Diego and Hamilton reminds me of when
Stephen Donald once he tells a story that he was
asked to go over to the south of France in
the bye week of a Super Rugby season, so he
was leaving the Chiefs at the end of that season,
(14:47):
and so his agent said, Hey, there's a team in
the south of France that want to take you over there,
show you around, blah blah blah. And he goes, ah,
I'm hosting a barbecue back in Hamilton this weekend, so
I can't go. And his agent was just like, I
really think you should go over and take this opportunity
to have a look around the south of France.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
He said nat.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So he stays at home and has his barbecue in Hamilton.
The next year he's playing for bath Over in the UK. Yeah,
they go over and play. I forget the name of
the city. It might have been Nice or something like that,
somewhere in the south of France. He goes over there,
they finished the game. He rings his agents straight away.
He's like, why the fuck didn't you tell me how
nice it is down here? I could have been playing
down here the whole time. And he goes, mane, I
(15:29):
told you it was nice.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
But you stuck around to cook some sizzlers in Hamilton.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Your loser. And he said he'd make the same decision
again today if you.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
And another bit of controversy from that game, and look
I'm a bit of criticism for you know, discussing females
in sport, and that was the greatest anthem I have
ever heard.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It was flawless. I thought it was slightly slow, but flawless.
Pitchy to start, pitchy to start, she finally settled on
a key.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
No complaints from me. One of the best anthems I've
ever seen.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Brilliant.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I think we should move on. I don't know if
you've seen this. Yes, great news, I love it.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
So he has decided that he is well.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
He signed a new contract with New Zealand Rugby which
will take him through to the next World Cup over
in Australia. But domestically he is making the switch from
Wellington to Wina Pacifica.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
I think that's awesome. That is what Moina Pacifica needs.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yes, get t Puvai in there, get some of a
Penny finale and the.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Enna Frazel's contract after next year.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Yeah, get it, do it. It's awesome.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
It's good for Moina Pacifica. Yeah, he will come up
here and live with his brother.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well, I mean they did the old Yarnis and it's
a combo trick where you signed the brother to try
and get the star.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Player ola the grooming. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I think I think a lot of these super rugby
players want to eventually move to Auckland, particularly when they're sort.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Of inclined like media inclined like Ardias.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He's done podcasts and things like that, So I think
it's a good way of him to move to Auckland
without playing for the Blues, without having to do a
Bowden Barrett, you know. So I think it's good too
because Mina Pacifica haven't really landed on an identity or
a fan base or anything, you know, and they kicking
stripped of the best players after every year. Yeah yeah,
Lebe Moors now down at the Crusaders. So I Nawey
(17:20):
got pinched by the Highlanders. And I think if you
were to name one player in super rugby that would
be able to draw a crowd, it would be Ardie Savia.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
So I think it's great.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
How did you watch the video that he put up
of the announcement? Did he talk about himself in the
third person?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
He actually didn't talk in this one. I think he
said something like Mona, let's go or something like that.
Because if he didn't said the last time he negotiated
his own contract, and he congratulated himself on social media
by interviewing himself. That's an all time I'd love to
know what he thinks about that. A few years on
(17:56):
from interviewing himself about his own contract.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It probably still stands by it to be fair. But
I'm not going to bring it up with him, but
maybe you'll find the right time in place.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I was gonna as him about it when I saw
him at the airport the other day. I decided against it.
You know what, I'd rather make the flight.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Now because that was awkward because we were lining out
free security and it's like saying hi to someone at
the supermarket. You keep coming back past them.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's the worst you see someone at the thing, because
then you're like, oh, do you have to catch a flight?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
And then you see them ten seconds later walking back
the other way, yeah, and you're like.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah, it is a little disappointing.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I think I mean not to go back over it again,
but I do think the trade, like the whole trades
free agency thing and super Rugby, that kind of came
out of nowhere. No one even really knew that he
was redoing his contract or whatever. You know.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
But it's weird that the rugby union decide where they
go as well, and this contracted centrally, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, I find weird. It's like he signed with the
rugby Union and is playing for one. I like the
rugby Union. These the puppeteers of where players go. No, no, no,
it's probably that's probably a massive generalization, but that's what
it looks like. Yeah, but I also think if you
are the way that it works anywhere now you have
that central contract, well, then a draft and trade system
(19:11):
works perfectly because you've already got them, you know, by
you did to right, So it's like, funk, we'll tell
you where you're going to go, and you're you're going
to be traded for this, and blah blah blah blah blah.
I think and everybody just says I wouldn't work in
New Zealand. It's like the NBL just did it last year,
the National Basketball League, the sales pizza fucking NBL playing
out out of your local WAYAMCA, we can do it.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
That's what we kind of see is strip back everything
and just have MPC and then just draft them into
Super Rugby like all NPC or Club Rugby, Super Club
Rugby Super. Yeah you know what I mean. Like Sulkland
was Mentionedalkland have four teams. Yeah, Amilton there's two.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, Maintain there's two, Crostich has two, Dunedin has one,
South And has one, Tasman has one. Super It's like
Super Club. That's the draft system to go into Super Rugby.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Anyway, look, I think it will work, but we've talked
about it. Ans in the next change. Sports scholarships up
and running at the moment. This is where binge watching
sport is a sport and if you want to win that,
you text Chip two three two three six, follow the
link and you could be in to have Glan come
and meet you at a car park somewhere near your
house to drop it off. We had the first winner.
He didn't have a car park. No, No, he was
(20:18):
in an apartment. He's a downtown apartment dweller. So I
had to meet him in the basement of a car park.
Like it was like a serious drug deal EXCEP.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I mean, it was a great deal for him because
he got a couple of boxes of Snacker Changy's. He
got a bunch of merch. You got some some delicious
beverages from Export Ultra And.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
The only risk was that Batman was going to sharp
and kick both your arses. But he was pretty happy.
I'll tell you that it's a great price to win.
So just text Chip to three two three six and
get involved. Absolutely speaking, you get involved. Let's take one
more ad break when we come back. It's yours, please,
yours please, brought you by Leader Home of the Top.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Just a few of them to get through today.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
But I will say across the weekend we had someone's
kid get hold of their phone and they just pressed
the old.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Button do do Do Do do.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Then hung up. So just be iought I was going
to play it that. I was like, you know what,
I'm not going to bother. You know, we're talking about
following kids around, filming them at the library.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Let's just stay clear of it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So first, particularly particularly the content of the of the
calls that we get through, I don't want any kids
involved in this.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
So first call here yours please.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Fuck you Cazi, we had that game in the bag
and Fox South Carebra there you go.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Everyone came through at eleven forty two. At eleven forty six,
the same number sent in another one basically saying the
same thing, and again at eleven forty eight. Do you
think you just forgot that he did it each time?
Was he just making sure at least one of the
times he forgot? But I think it was just it
just hurts so much and in these in these trying times,
we always look for someone to blame things on.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
And Chris chris Key's our straw man. On this occasion,
it was Chris.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
After the commentary, he goes just I thought we would
get way more backlash on the text machine than we
got and I was just like, I wasn't reading them out,
but you can have a look, if you can have
a look at you, if you'd like, I would recommend
you don't.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
He had a look and it was brutal.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It was basically every now and then, you know, the
a sec hive mind, we'll just kicking and we'll get
the same text a million.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Times in a row with fuck you Chris Key, with
some sort.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Of variation of fuck you Kesey the whole way down again.
I don't think it was Sanel Harris Deaveta's fault, to
be honest, probably not Chris's fault either, but if you're
looking for people to blame it on, ye, Unfortunately Casey
threw himself in front of that bus.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Another caller here, yours.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Please, they've always se from there.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I laid again, it's what the scot on that, because
we know about someth you know.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, Jesus, that's the lights off.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
It's lights off, and he's having a spar The family's inside,
or the missus is inside, the sparkles out in the
deck there. He hasn't even got the bubbles on because
it's too loud. Yeah, so you can just hear it
gurgling in the background, just the kind of him just
sloshing around in.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
There, wallowing around in genital soup.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
There's a reason why the podcast are late every now
and then, because we obviously waiting for an announcement of
some description or we're interviewing someone. So every now and
then it's a couple of hours late.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
So last week there was we had an interview, and
then there was the All Blacks team and the cricket
and the cricket so yeah, look that's going to be
a little late every now and then. But when we
do that, it's because we want to make sure we
put the best product out. We can't and some would
say that the earlier they are, the shipter they are.
But anyway, apologies and thank you very much for bringing
that to our attention.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Another call here yours please.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Before this fucking soccer shed of late.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
A few of the boys want to know, would a
round ball do any different to rugby.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Let's get rid of the shape, put a round one
in there and played by the same rules. Some of
the boys reckons it will be a whole new game.
I reckon I do.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Fuck all, what do you think, right?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
So this is just rugby. Just have a round ball
SoC soccer ball to play with. Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Think you can punt a round ball a long way
like those drop cacks that those goalies do go about
eighty meters?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, they do. I think.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
First off, the bat passing would be a nightmare passing
a round ball. You couldn't pass as far, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Also, yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Other part is you're holding quite a large ball now
as you're running and to get tackled there You know,
when two dudes hold those big Swiss balls and at
each other.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
That's my favorite thing on YouTube to watch. So I
like it when three people do it because one person
takes all of the kinetic energy out of Yeah, and
now that and doesn't that. No one knows which one and.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It's like double bounce and your cousin on the trampolines
should see it. So I think there'd be a bit
of that action. Yeah, the kicking would be a little weird.
I don't know about like, I think kicking will be fine. Well,
the thing is like a grubber. The advantage of it
being an oval ball is that it's going to pop
up for you to catch.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
But now a grubb is just going to roll across
the carpet.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
And you know exactly with the bounce of the ball
as well. Yeah, with a chip kick, yeah, chip kick's
just going to pop up perfectly for you. You know
exactly where it's going. I think conversions would be easier.
Would you take them off a tee or is it
off the ground?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I think you would probably still go off the t
wouldn't you, because you're trying to kick it up.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
I think the passing will look awkward. It look like
it kind of a cross between netball.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And Yeah, the passing will look ridiculous. I think that
the game would be worse for having it, but I
do think that it would be.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Can you kick it as far as a rugby ball?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Some of those goalies kick it a hell of a
long way.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I was watching it when I was watching the Europe's
I was like, man, that guy timed that and from
the outside of the box and it went pretty much
to the other end of the field.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Look, I think obviously it to make the game worse,
otherwise we would have done it one hundred years ago. Yeah,
but it would be interesting to watch, surely, surely like
a social club to play a quarter of rugby with
a sob a soccer ball, just to see what would happen.
I think it would change the completion of goalkicking. I
don't know in which direction. I think they'd be more
accurate than lest accurate. Yeah, probably would have helped us
(26:44):
on the weekend the worries.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I think you could kick it from a sixty meters
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, probably just on that by the way, And I
know I've said this before on the podcast, but it's
just come back into my brain. I think I think
goal kicking shouldn't be part of rugby or rugby league.
I think it's not when you take a helicopter year,
it's an odd thing. If it didn't exist, we wouldn't
invent it if we invented If rugby league didn't exist
and we invented it tomorrow, it would not be part
(27:09):
of it. Because if you're at the meeting and you're like, right,
we've got the game. You run, you get tackled, if
you put the ball over the line, then you score points.
And if someone at the corner of the meeting, we're like,
what if after you put the ball down you then
played a different game where you had to kick it
through some posts. You get the fuck out of the
meeting and make no sense at all. So I think
we should do well with it. It's the equivalent of
(27:30):
in the NBA, if you shot a three pointer it
you got three points, and then they had a net
underneath the hoop and you were able to kick the
ball into the net for another two points. But why
it doesn't add anything to the game.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Would you?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Are you saying get rid of conversions all kicking, So
no penalty kicks, kicking, no penalty kick. No droppies, no dropies,
just tries, Yeah, just tries. Try fest golden point is
just golden try. You just keep going til someone scores
a try. I'm down with that because I think the
only thing it does is it rewards players for scoring
in the middle of the field as opposed to the sides.
That's basically the only advantage for goal kicking. And as
(28:05):
we saw on the weekend, Fuck, it breaks your heart
when you lose a game from goalkicking.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
It's like, we.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Played well, yeah, we played better than they did, I
would say, yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
And when you're scoring more tries in your opposition you lose,
and then you still lose.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's like why because there's other bullshit part of the game. Yeah,
I don't know, does my head and I think we
should do a worth it. They never will, but certainly
could have saved us on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
All right, I think that'll do us for today.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
For a Monday episode of the Agenda, we are heading
out to Mount Smart Stadium myself and Die Henward to
interview a few of the Warriors for the Mad Monday podcast,
So make sure you keep an eye out for that one.
And apologies to anyone sitting in their spa bath this afternoon,
that one will be a little later than usual, Jesus Christ,
so bear with us there, but yeah, enjoy that and
(28:51):
otherwise we'll see you tomorrow for a Tuesday episode of
the A Gender Podcast.
Speaker 2 (28:55):
You've been listening to the hcci's Agender Podcast, brought to
you by Export Ultra. For more episodes, like and follow
on iHeartRadio for of you get your podcast
Live for the Export Beer Garden Studio and brought to
you by Export Ultra the Bear for here. This is
the Agenda Podcast for Monday, the twenty second of July.
Speaker 2 (00:08):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by an Export a Vulture.
Speaker 3 (00:16):
Morning Lane out of Witness Protection.
Speaker 4 (00:18):
Yeah, look, I tell you what. Witness protection is great.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
If you didn't have to have your kids with you, yeah,
it would be it would be like a holiday.
Speaker 3 (00:24):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:24):
Well they make you go with your kids and yeah,
you got your kids there the whole time and they're
just nagging you.
Speaker 4 (00:29):
It's for their own safety. Yeah, that down there as well.
But how was it?
Speaker 3 (00:33):
How was your week?
Speaker 4 (00:34):
Yeah it was good.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
It wasn't too bad at all in roads there. Yeah wet, Yeah,
it was wet around every I think. But yeah, it's
disappointing when you're on holiday.
Speaker 4 (00:44):
And there's so many appearents that are just like rejoicing
to Jesus this morning that their kids are going back
to school.
Speaker 3 (00:51):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (00:52):
So, yeah, they did it tough that second week in
the rain.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
I honestly reckon that parental leave should be enforced for
all school holidays. It's ridiculous that we make parents still
stick like have to try and juggle work, but then
all the kids are sped out into the ye wide world. Yeah, like,
I mean, you know, admittedly, one of my children ended
up on the Locals Facebook page from making a disturbance
in the library. Oh and I was like, okay, look,
(01:17):
I can take that. He's not you know, selling drugs
or stealing cars. He's making a disturbance in the library. Yeah,
that's way down the list of like Code Brown at
the poles, you know, doing drugs stuff and paint whatever.
Speaker 4 (01:30):
But he's at the library. Disturbance of the library.
Speaker 1 (01:32):
Did he got a few Karens after apparently they're rude
to the librarian, but he reckons the couple of Karens
and they started filming them and following them around the library,
following the kids around. It was weird, But anyway, I
don't know what the rules are around following them around
filming them.
Speaker 4 (01:45):
That's what happens when Yeah, that's this point was brought
up by my eldest, which didn't go down well with
the Karens because he knew knew his rights more than
the Karens did. Say yeah, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Anyway, good to heavy back, Glad toav back on board
and in the studio. I want to start with the Warriors.
I know it was Friday night, but jeez, that was
a tough one. A lot of people have asked me
this morning, Oh, jeez, how did you feel about that one.
I've gotta be honest, I kind of felt the same
way I felt for the last two months.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
I've kind of already.
Speaker 4 (02:12):
Resigned yourself to the fact that the Warriors it's not
the yar.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
It was when we had to win like ninety percent
of our games for the rest of the year. I
was like, we're going to drop one or two and
then all of a sudden it's going to be like, wow,
do you put a line through them? I think, do
you think it was Shaidel Harris Tavita's fault that we
lost that game.
Speaker 4 (02:30):
On ndred percent? Not his fault because he's the fourth's
during kickick because you have Shaan Johnson Pompey paining to
a picky and then he probably doesn't even practice. I
can't imagine your fourth choice of goal kicker even practices.
Speaker 3 (02:45):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
So, but he doesn't even kick if he even if
he was playing down in New South Wales Cup. He
wouldn't have been kicking there. They've got you know they're
gonna fallback, they can kick their halves.
Speaker 4 (02:54):
Yeah, I don't. I don't think it's not his fault.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
But Webby did come out and say the Kicks didn't
let us lose us the game.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
They did.
Speaker 4 (03:02):
The Kicks definitely lost the game, but it wasn't But
it wasn't Jane Harris Devita's fault.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
No, I agree with you. I don't think it was
his fault. He shouldn't have and there shouldn't have been
any stress. He was beating himself up after the game.
But I always have the like mindset of if I
shouldn't have been doing it, then I've got that. I
don't feel any pressure in the situation, so I should
fuck this up. Do you know whose fault it is? Yes,
Chris Keys, it is Chris Kese this. I've got the audio.
I pulled the audio this morning. Have a listen to this.
(03:29):
It is one of the all time a SEC commentators curses.
Speaker 3 (03:32):
And the try has been confirmed.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
And I tell you what, me and I not even
Chanel Harris de Vita can miss it from there. I
hope that could go down as one of the all
time commentators.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Curses Chris, I hope you're wrong. Surely not draw draw
the game.
Speaker 1 (03:48):
Surely not the way he just squinted his eyes here
literally posts in front of him right now, do I
He looked at the post way up and looking at
the screen the whole game.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
That's on you.
Speaker 3 (04:00):
So he shacked around the door at me. Yet that
fair enough.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
I'm so sorry everyone, I am so sorry for that.
Speaker 3 (04:12):
Don't go all quiet. Fuck you man.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
I got quiet because I was waging up when whether
or not to use it. I mean, look, it was
it was ten to twelve, like it was so late
as well. I stayed up to watch that, and I
stayed up to watch the State of Origin on Wednesday.
I was done with rugby league by the end of
the week.
Speaker 4 (04:33):
I was done.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
God.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
I had to have a nap after arguably being over
served at the pub on front afternoon.
Speaker 3 (04:39):
But there's by the bike. I just was that the
pause was.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
I was looking at Cris being like, you probably don't
like I know, we're on the adult channel. You probably
don't get too many IF bombs in a season. I
was like, if I'm ever going to use one, it's
when our season goes out the window on a commentator's curse. Yeah,
and I'm sorry to the other but I had to
express how I felt and how I think a lot
of New Zealanders felt. Yeah, and I think it summed
it up because we're also looking for someone to put
(05:03):
it on absolutely.
Speaker 4 (05:04):
And Chris Key is the one. So Chris Key Man.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
Another highlight of.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
The game, it was going around on social media, was
the you know they do when you play in camera?
They blow the Viking Yes, which is such a crocod
shit that last year they had a guy come out
and he was on his deathbit. He's about ninety eight
years old and he blew it. I was like, no,
he's like dying of impisema and he's up there blowing
a thirty foot horn.
Speaker 3 (05:27):
No he's not. So they've obviously got a button and
the theater.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Don't run the theater, you curmudget.
Speaker 1 (05:33):
So we were talking about that in the commentary and
the build up to it, and we were talking about
it so much that we got distracted and didn't notice
that there was a guy ripping a cam cone directly
behind him, which is old schools to fashion a cancne
I've always said, give us stone to some weed and
nothing to smoke it with, and you'll give birth to
a physician that.
Speaker 3 (05:51):
Would rival Albert Einstein.
Speaker 1 (05:52):
They'll just find an apple or a pineapple or a
cone or whatever.
Speaker 3 (05:58):
And I thought that was one of the most rugby
league things of all times.
Speaker 4 (06:00):
Yeah, and he was celebrated throughout the rugby league community
as well, ended up on RL roast everywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:06):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (06:06):
Absolutely, it's it is one of the you know over
in the States and they're legalizing it and blah blah blah'
saying it's not a drug that grows in the dirt.
Nothing makes it look more like doing drugs than smoking
it out of the can and sparking up the flame
as well as and he knew he knew exactly when
he was going to be in frame because they focus
(06:27):
on the horn and he knew it as soon as
he can hear his mates kap now now, and he's like, yeah,
So in the commentary bit that we've posted up on
social media, you can hear me going, look, it doesn't
line up with the lungs at all, but I'm talking
about the guy blowing the horn. But in the background,
I had no idea. There was a guy ripping a
can cone as well. I was at the bus stop
the other day and a guy pulled up at the
(06:49):
intersection in a ute and just ripped the can cone
at the red light and then carried on, presumably to work.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
I have seen a van full of painters out side
a bar in Auckland at the traffic lights, and I
was sitting outside. It was down kind of by Britamart
and the guy in the front seat just had a
huge bong and he ripped the bong and then just
passed it to the back, and there were three other
dudes in the back.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
If you're in a paper's van, you might as well
just take the lids off the paint and roll the
windows up, probably of the same effect. But shout out
to the cancn Go anyway, if you want to head
to a Warrior's game, we've got a VIP experience for
you to win all thanks to Helenstein's. We want to
hook you up with an exclusive opportunity to be that
VIP at the Warriors. You're going to score yourself tickets,
(07:37):
cash money for food and beverages, plus vouchers to be
cutted out by the legends at Helenstein's to get in
the draw text VIP to three two three six. It's
vip to three two three six be a VIP at
the Warriors thanks to the ACC and Helenstein's brothers, a
lot of Helenstein's kick getting around at Warriors home games
at the moment. Oh yeah, it's definitely not even just
at Warriors games.
Speaker 4 (07:57):
Everywhere you go, leisure club and what's the what's the.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
How they want leisure club? Sporting leisure something like that. Yeah,
but that absolutely everywhere. It's like when you buy a
car and all of a sudden you see the car
overwhere else. I'm now seeing leisure club stuff absolutely everywhere.
We I took one of the hoodies home and it's
immediately been stolen by the missus. Yeah, and she is
just wearing it everywhere. It's too late, it's over. She's
(08:25):
fleeced it. Just well, it is a Monday, so a
bit of accountability from across the weekend. The agenda hunch
you put on Dan Hellier to come top forty Yeah,
and I got you know what the response was from
Joe jury Who's that? When I put it on, I
guess who's that? And like I get a lot of stick.
I who the fuck is that? I think was a response.
(08:45):
I get a lot of stick for some of my
hunches and mainly my midnight gambling early hours in the morning.
But Dan Hillier, as I mentioned, he won the British
Open last year over there in a breakout win. So
I had just had a hunch these conditions which were
difficultre they were difficult.
Speaker 4 (09:02):
They blew out some pretty good, top ranked players and
he made.
Speaker 1 (09:06):
A cat because he I think he started at like
five over yeah, and then he made the cut. Because
when I saw that, I was like Jesus. But then
I saw the leader at that time was like Shane
Lowry was only four under yeah. And I think it
was a Xander Shoffley one. Yes, I think he was
only two under yeah. At the unusual conditions.
Speaker 4 (09:22):
It's so so the open to have like torrential rain
and like a Tiger Woods shank one and made me
feel so good. I saw him slice went onto the
railway tracks and I was like.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
Rory mckleroy, I think I was at home, and I
was like, yes, because that's exactly what I would have done.
Speaker 4 (09:38):
One of us, yeah, one of us.
Speaker 3 (09:39):
Wo.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
I once hit a cow in side of the head
so hard off of Tea and Wyman. It just snap,
snap a slice and yeah, bounced. He got hard heads
though he wouldn't even notice.
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Nah.
Speaker 1 (09:52):
But then I was like looking at the ball, I
could see it. I was like, I'm not going to
net paddock. That's thing's gonna kill me. But anyway, Hilly
already finished nineteenth in the end, Yeah, because we I
chucked the Hundi on him finishing in the top forty. Yeah,
it was the Rick des bit. Yeah, paying teckt these
top forty, paying eight bucks too, so and he comfortably
did it coming nineteenth, and Foxy I think came in
(10:14):
at twenty five. So not on a bad performance from
those two.
Speaker 3 (10:17):
Kiwis No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (10:18):
While we're holding ourselves accountable though our other one was
on the all Blacks game of suf more a Billy
Procter or Artisavia first price score. I think they all scored, yes,
but they weren't the first unfortunately. And then the one
that hurt me the most was Raiders first New Zealand Warriors.
Our hunch for that was a successful field goal in
the match. Yeah, I saw one attempted. Yeah, and then
(10:38):
also we yeah, because we had to snap off a
two point drop. God, because we missed all those cacks.
I was like we're talking about in the commentary as well,
like this is going the way of Golden Point.
Speaker 3 (10:48):
That was a golden point.
Speaker 4 (10:49):
Game, all ends up, but unfortunately no, and then our
three way hunch car let us down.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
Ah. So I think we actually gave you a bit
because you weren't here on Friday because last week he
came in with Mark Talia, so we're like he's been
replaced for Caler Clark. We'll give you Caler Clark again.
Came in yep. I went South Africa v. Portugal. The
line was thirty six and a half. South Africa put
a cricket score on them, and then car let us
(11:16):
down with a donkey at rose Hill, which I think
is still going around this morning, my favorite racing joke.
Speaker 3 (11:23):
And so that one didn't come in either.
Speaker 1 (11:25):
But not overall, not a bad week for the SEC
and we'll be paying out this Monday, which is always
a good feeling.
Speaker 3 (11:30):
Yeah. Absolutely.
Speaker 4 (11:31):
I had my I do a hunch on herdecke breakfast
as well, and I had it all blacks forty plus
and a Chiefs player to be the first try scorer.
I was so close.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
Who was the first try scorer?
Speaker 4 (11:41):
It was Cayleer Clark, Yeah, yeah, it was jabb A
the butt, but second to score I think was cort
Corti and I was like.
Speaker 1 (11:51):
Yeah, a bit of a blowout. Look, we'll take a
quick break and we come back. We're going to break
down that game over there in San Diego or the
All Blacks went over to snap Dragon Stadium in San
Diego and absolutely demolished FIGI as I think everyone thought
they would. Basically, the game went almost exactly how we
thought it was going to. But I would say that
(12:12):
the first ten to fifteen minutes were hardly a great
advertisement for the game. We no a lot of kicking,
a lot of just kicking backwards and forwards. Yeah, and
it kind I asked the question, and I bought it
up this morning with Matt Jerry.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
It's like, why, Yeah, why was it in San Diego?
Oh why?
Speaker 1 (12:31):
I don't think you're going to lock the answer to this.
But I heard that they were gonna host it in Hamilton,
and then San Diego said, look, we've got a bit
of marketing budget, we'll pay us to come over here.
And so New Zealand Rugby had the option to play
in Hamilton or in San Diego. And this might hurt
your feelings, but they decided to play.
Speaker 3 (12:50):
In San Diego.
Speaker 4 (12:52):
As as Matt Heath pointed out this morning, rugby is
under attack from so many codes in New Zealand, whether
it's the NRL, NBA, NFL, in bl in bl you
know what I mean, like just in general, and to
take it away from fans and go elsewhere for a
bit of publicity coin And I don't think that's going
(13:14):
to change anyone's mind that game. No, Like if it
was in dinner Our, they would have been awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:20):
If you'd sold there and sold family packages to flights,
accommodation tickets to all blacks Fiji and dinner ow they'll
buss you over to Nandy or whatever tooka that would
have been awesome.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Yeah, that would have been awesome.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
And you know, Fiji tourism probably was stumped up a
little bit of cash, probably not as much as San Diego.
How many people are going to San Diego now as
a result of that, not me, just a few junkets.
Bonnie Jensen on a junket. Bonnie Jensen James mcconiy, Yeah,
it will be about it. Yeah, how much did they
pay to go over there? Nothing? And who got interviewed
before the game as well. He's over there, he playing,
(13:56):
isn't he four or five years he's about seventy three
years old and he's still playing. But built for and
they I think they actually played in the semi final
over the weekend, the San Diego Legion. Don't know how
they went a bitter podcast to be able to tell you,
but it was a tri fish that game. It was
sort of like a bit of a boring first half
and then the second half was even more boring because
(14:17):
we started blowing them out.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
Yeah, and it was like that's.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
Like I said, it's a W. Though I see that
to the met and Jerry will take the W. But
I just found it a strange.
Speaker 1 (14:25):
Hollow W because it was taken over there or because
of the score. Yeah, it's funny you say that. The
decision between San Diego and Hamilton reminds me of when
Stephen Donald once he tells a story that he was
asked to go over to the south of France in
the bye week of a Super Rugby season, so he
was leaving the Chiefs at the end of that season,
(14:47):
and so his agent said, Hey, there's a team in
the south of France that want to take you over there,
show you around, blah blah blah. And he goes, ah,
I'm hosting a barbecue back in Hamilton this weekend, so
I can't go. And his agent was just like, I
really think you should go over and take this opportunity
to have a look around the south of France.
Speaker 3 (15:07):
He said nat.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
So he stays at home and has his barbecue in Hamilton.
The next year he's playing for bath Over in the UK. Yeah,
they go over and play. I forget the name of
the city. It might have been Nice or something like that,
somewhere in the south of France. He goes over there,
they finished the game. He rings his agents straight away.
He's like, why the fuck didn't you tell me how
nice it is down here? I could have been playing
down here the whole time. And he goes, mane, I
(15:29):
told you it was nice.
Speaker 4 (15:30):
But you stuck around to cook some sizzlers in Hamilton.
Speaker 1 (15:34):
Your loser. And he said he'd make the same decision
again today if you.
Speaker 4 (15:39):
And another bit of controversy from that game, and look
I'm a bit of criticism for you know, discussing females
in sport, and that was the greatest anthem I have
ever heard.
Speaker 1 (15:51):
It was flawless. I thought it was slightly slow, but flawless.
Pitchy to start, pitchy to start, she finally settled on
a key.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
No complaints from me. One of the best anthems I've
ever seen.
Speaker 3 (16:04):
Brilliant.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
I think we should move on. I don't know if
you've seen this. Yes, great news, I love it.
Speaker 4 (16:11):
Yep.
Speaker 3 (16:11):
So he has decided that he is well.
Speaker 1 (16:13):
He signed a new contract with New Zealand Rugby which
will take him through to the next World Cup over
in Australia. But domestically he is making the switch from
Wellington to Wina Pacifica.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
I think that's awesome. That is what Moina Pacifica needs.
Speaker 1 (16:25):
Yes, get t Puvai in there, get some of a
Penny finale and the.
Speaker 3 (16:30):
Enna Frazel's contract after next year.
Speaker 4 (16:32):
Yeah, get it, do it. It's awesome.
Speaker 3 (16:33):
I love it.
Speaker 4 (16:33):
It's good for Moina Pacifica. Yeah, he will come up
here and live with his brother.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Well, I mean they did the old Yarnis and it's
a combo trick where you signed the brother to try
and get the star.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
Player ola the grooming. Yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
I think I think a lot of these super rugby
players want to eventually move to Auckland, particularly when they're sort.
Speaker 3 (16:54):
Of inclined like media inclined like Ardias.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
He's done podcasts and things like that, So I think
it's a good way of him to move to Auckland
without playing for the Blues, without having to do a
Bowden Barrett, you know. So I think it's good too
because Mina Pacifica haven't really landed on an identity or
a fan base or anything, you know, and they kicking
stripped of the best players after every year. Yeah yeah,
Lebe Moors now down at the Crusaders. So I Nawey
(17:20):
got pinched by the Highlanders. And I think if you
were to name one player in super rugby that would
be able to draw a crowd, it would be Ardie Savia.
Speaker 3 (17:28):
So I think it's great.
Speaker 4 (17:29):
How did you watch the video that he put up
of the announcement? Did he talk about himself in the
third person?
Speaker 1 (17:34):
He actually didn't talk in this one. I think he
said something like Mona, let's go or something like that.
Because if he didn't said the last time he negotiated
his own contract, and he congratulated himself on social media
by interviewing himself. That's an all time I'd love to
know what he thinks about that. A few years on
(17:56):
from interviewing himself about his own contract.
Speaker 4 (18:00):
It probably still stands by it to be fair. But
I'm not going to bring it up with him, but
maybe you'll find the right time in place.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I was gonna as him about it when I saw
him at the airport the other day. I decided against it.
You know what, I'd rather make the flight.
Speaker 4 (18:13):
Now because that was awkward because we were lining out
free security and it's like saying hi to someone at
the supermarket. You keep coming back past them.
Speaker 3 (18:19):
Oh, I know.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
It's the worst you see someone at the thing, because
then you're like, oh, do you have to catch a flight?
Speaker 3 (18:24):
What do you reckon?
Speaker 4 (18:24):
And then you see them ten seconds later walking back
the other way, yeah, and you're like.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Yeah, it is a little disappointing.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I think I mean not to go back over it again,
but I do think the trade, like the whole trades
free agency thing and super Rugby, that kind of came
out of nowhere. No one even really knew that he
was redoing his contract or whatever. You know.
Speaker 4 (18:45):
But it's weird that the rugby union decide where they
go as well, and this contracted centrally, you know what
I mean.
Speaker 1 (18:51):
Yeah, I find weird. It's like he signed with the
rugby Union and is playing for one. I like the
rugby Union. These the puppeteers of where players go. No, no, no,
it's probably that's probably a massive generalization, but that's what
it looks like. Yeah, but I also think if you
are the way that it works anywhere now you have
that central contract, well, then a draft and trade system
(19:11):
works perfectly because you've already got them, you know, by
you did to right, So it's like, funk, we'll tell
you where you're going to go, and you're you're going
to be traded for this, and blah blah blah blah blah.
I think and everybody just says I wouldn't work in
New Zealand. It's like the NBL just did it last year,
the National Basketball League, the sales pizza fucking NBL playing
out out of your local WAYAMCA, we can do it.
Speaker 4 (19:33):
That's what we kind of see is strip back everything
and just have MPC and then just draft them into
Super Rugby like all NPC or Club Rugby, Super Club
Rugby Super. Yeah you know what I mean. Like Sulkland
was Mentionedalkland have four teams. Yeah, Amilton there's two.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, Maintain there's two, Crostich has two, Dunedin has one,
South And has one, Tasman has one. Super It's like
Super Club. That's the draft system to go into Super Rugby.
Speaker 3 (19:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
Anyway, look, I think it will work, but we've talked
about it. Ans in the next change. Sports scholarships up
and running at the moment. This is where binge watching
sport is a sport and if you want to win that,
you text Chip two three two three six, follow the
link and you could be in to have Glan come
and meet you at a car park somewhere near your
house to drop it off. We had the first winner.
He didn't have a car park. No, No, he was
(20:18):
in an apartment. He's a downtown apartment dweller. So I
had to meet him in the basement of a car park.
Like it was like a serious drug deal EXCEP.
Speaker 4 (20:27):
I mean, it was a great deal for him because
he got a couple of boxes of Snacker Changy's. He
got a bunch of merch. You got some some delicious
beverages from Export Ultra And.
Speaker 1 (20:35):
The only risk was that Batman was going to sharp
and kick both your arses. But he was pretty happy.
I'll tell you that it's a great price to win.
So just text Chip to three two three six and
get involved. Absolutely speaking, you get involved. Let's take one
more ad break when we come back. It's yours, please,
yours please, brought you by Leader Home of the Top.
Speaker 3 (21:00):
Just a few of them to get through today.
Speaker 1 (21:01):
But I will say across the weekend we had someone's
kid get hold of their phone and they just pressed
the old.
Speaker 3 (21:08):
Button do do Do Do do.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
Then hung up. So just be iought I was going
to play it that. I was like, you know what,
I'm not going to bother. You know, we're talking about
following kids around, filming them at the library.
Speaker 3 (21:20):
Let's just stay clear of it.
Speaker 1 (21:21):
So first, particularly particularly the content of the of the
calls that we get through, I don't want any kids
involved in this.
Speaker 3 (21:27):
So first call here yours please.
Speaker 1 (21:30):
Fuck you Cazi, we had that game in the bag
and Fox South Carebra there you go.
Speaker 4 (21:37):
I agree with that.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
Everyone came through at eleven forty two. At eleven forty six,
the same number sent in another one basically saying the
same thing, and again at eleven forty eight. Do you
think you just forgot that he did it each time?
Was he just making sure at least one of the
times he forgot? But I think it was just it
just hurts so much and in these in these trying times,
we always look for someone to blame things on.
Speaker 4 (21:59):
And Chris chris Key's our straw man. On this occasion,
it was Chris.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
After the commentary, he goes just I thought we would
get way more backlash on the text machine than we
got and I was just like, I wasn't reading them out,
but you can have a look, if you can have
a look at you, if you'd like, I would recommend
you don't.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Ye.
Speaker 3 (22:19):
He had a look and it was brutal.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
It was basically every now and then, you know, the
a sec hive mind, we'll just kicking and we'll get
the same text a million.
Speaker 4 (22:27):
Times in a row with fuck you Chris Key, with
some sort.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Of variation of fuck you Kesey the whole way down again.
I don't think it was Sanel Harris Deaveta's fault, to
be honest, probably not Chris's fault either, but if you're
looking for people to blame it on, ye, Unfortunately Casey
threw himself in front of that bus.
Speaker 3 (22:43):
Another caller here, yours.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
Please, they've always se from there.
Speaker 4 (22:48):
I laid again, it's what the scot on that, because
we know about someth you know.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
Yeah, Jesus, that's the lights off.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
It's lights off, and he's having a spar The family's inside,
or the missus is inside, the sparkles out in the
deck there. He hasn't even got the bubbles on because
it's too loud. Yeah, so you can just hear it
gurgling in the background, just the kind of him just
sloshing around in.
Speaker 3 (23:27):
There, wallowing around in genital soup.
Speaker 4 (23:30):
There's a reason why the podcast are late every now
and then, because we obviously waiting for an announcement of
some description or we're interviewing someone. So every now and
then it's a couple of hours late.
Speaker 3 (23:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:39):
So last week there was we had an interview, and
then there was the All Blacks team and the cricket
and the cricket so yeah, look that's going to be
a little late every now and then. But when we
do that, it's because we want to make sure we
put the best product out. We can't and some would
say that the earlier they are, the shipter they are.
But anyway, apologies and thank you very much for bringing
that to our attention.
Speaker 4 (24:00):
Another call here yours please.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Before this fucking soccer shed of late.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
A few of the boys want to know, would a
round ball do any different to rugby.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
Let's get rid of the shape, put a round one
in there and played by the same rules. Some of
the boys reckons it will be a whole new game.
I reckon I do.
Speaker 3 (24:17):
Fuck all, what do you think, right?
Speaker 4 (24:20):
So this is just rugby. Just have a round ball
SoC soccer ball to play with. Okay?
Speaker 1 (24:25):
Think you can punt a round ball a long way
like those drop cacks that those goalies do go about
eighty meters?
Speaker 3 (24:32):
Yeah, they do. I think.
Speaker 1 (24:35):
First off, the bat passing would be a nightmare passing
a round ball. You couldn't pass as far, I don't think.
Speaker 3 (24:41):
Also, yeah, the.
Speaker 1 (24:42):
Other part is you're holding quite a large ball now
as you're running and to get tackled there You know,
when two dudes hold those big Swiss balls and at
each other.
Speaker 4 (24:52):
That's my favorite thing on YouTube to watch. So I
like it when three people do it because one person
takes all of the kinetic energy out of Yeah, and
now that and doesn't that. No one knows which one and.
Speaker 1 (25:02):
It's like double bounce and your cousin on the trampolines
should see it. So I think there'd be a bit
of that action. Yeah, the kicking would be a little weird.
I don't know about like, I think kicking will be fine. Well,
the thing is like a grubber. The advantage of it
being an oval ball is that it's going to pop
up for you to catch.
Speaker 3 (25:23):
But now a grubb is just going to roll across
the carpet.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
And you know exactly with the bounce of the ball
as well. Yeah, with a chip kick, yeah, chip kick's
just going to pop up perfectly for you. You know
exactly where it's going. I think conversions would be easier.
Would you take them off a tee or is it
off the ground?
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Oh that's a good question.
Speaker 1 (25:43):
I think you would probably still go off the t
wouldn't you, because you're trying to kick it up.
Speaker 4 (25:48):
I think the passing will look awkward. It look like
it kind of a cross between netball.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
And Yeah, the passing will look ridiculous. I think that
the game would be worse for having it, but I
do think that it would be.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Can you kick it as far as a rugby ball?
Speaker 4 (26:08):
Some of those goalies kick it a hell of a
long way.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I was watching it when I was watching the Europe's
I was like, man, that guy timed that and from
the outside of the box and it went pretty much
to the other end of the field.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (26:22):
Look, I think obviously it to make the game worse,
otherwise we would have done it one hundred years ago. Yeah,
but it would be interesting to watch, surely, surely like
a social club to play a quarter of rugby with
a sob a soccer ball, just to see what would happen.
I think it would change the completion of goalkicking. I
don't know in which direction. I think they'd be more
accurate than lest accurate. Yeah, probably would have helped us
(26:44):
on the weekend the worries.
Speaker 4 (26:45):
I think you could kick it from a sixty meters
I reckon.
Speaker 1 (26:48):
Yeah, probably just on that by the way, And I
know I've said this before on the podcast, but it's
just come back into my brain. I think I think
goal kicking shouldn't be part of rugby or rugby league.
I think it's not when you take a helicopter year,
it's an odd thing. If it didn't exist, we wouldn't
invent it if we invented If rugby league didn't exist
and we invented it tomorrow, it would not be part
(27:09):
of it. Because if you're at the meeting and you're like, right,
we've got the game. You run, you get tackled, if
you put the ball over the line, then you score points.
And if someone at the corner of the meeting, we're like,
what if after you put the ball down you then
played a different game where you had to kick it
through some posts. You get the fuck out of the
meeting and make no sense at all. So I think
we should do well with it. It's the equivalent of
(27:30):
in the NBA, if you shot a three pointer it
you got three points, and then they had a net
underneath the hoop and you were able to kick the
ball into the net for another two points. But why
it doesn't add anything to the game.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
Would you?
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Are you saying get rid of conversions all kicking, So
no penalty kicks, kicking, no penalty kick. No droppies, no dropies,
just tries, Yeah, just tries. Try fest golden point is
just golden try. You just keep going til someone scores
a try. I'm down with that because I think the
only thing it does is it rewards players for scoring
in the middle of the field as opposed to the sides.
That's basically the only advantage for goal kicking. And as
(28:05):
we saw on the weekend, Fuck, it breaks your heart
when you lose a game from goalkicking.
Speaker 3 (28:10):
It's like, we.
Speaker 1 (28:10):
Played well, yeah, we played better than they did, I
would say, yeah.
Speaker 4 (28:14):
And when you're scoring more tries in your opposition you lose,
and then you still lose.
Speaker 1 (28:17):
It's like why because there's other bullshit part of the game. Yeah,
I don't know, does my head and I think we
should do a worth it. They never will, but certainly
could have saved us on the weekend.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
All right, I think that'll do us for today.
Speaker 1 (28:30):
For a Monday episode of the Agenda, we are heading
out to Mount Smart Stadium myself and Die Henward to
interview a few of the Warriors for the Mad Monday podcast,
So make sure you keep an eye out for that one.
And apologies to anyone sitting in their spa bath this afternoon,
that one will be a little later than usual, Jesus Christ,
so bear with us there, but yeah, enjoy that and
(28:51):
otherwise we'll see you tomorrow for a Tuesday episode of
the A Gender Podcast.
