Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live for the Export Beer Gardens Studios and brought to
you by Export Ultra the perfect beer Fray lunchtime knockoff
on a Friday. This is the Agenda Podcast for as
I said, Friday, the sixteenth of August.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Next Sport of Culture.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
And I want to remind people again that these podcasts
are now on YouTube. So if you're struggling to find
something to watch while you're eating your dinner or your lunch,
chuck on YouTube, much to the shock and horror the
rest of your family.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Absolutely, yeah, get into double digits.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, we almost broke double digits the other day. Nine
people watched it. If you can believe that.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
It's passed it onto the sponsors, perhaps if we were
better looking and weren't sitting slashed on these couches potentially and.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Hadn't eaten so many Rindo Pineapple lollies that were fidgeting
the whole way through, then maybe one day we're hit
ten the greatest.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
New Zealander of all time at rages on.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I've just realized that we didn't touch on it yesterday,
but it was the Mad Butcher versus Tammy from Briscoes.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
One that's massively one sided.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Okay, the Briscoes lady and she got wasted. The Mad Butcher,
I think he is beloved. I don't know that the
Briscoes Lady is beloved.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
No, I think she's revered.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And revered in the retail space, but beloved probably not.
She should have come up against She's more than Magnus,
Ben Rose, John and Adrian. You know, I think that
would be a ding dong. Yeah, between John and Adrian
and the Briscoes Lady. I think a retail head to head.
But Mad Butcher he transcends the retail butcher store into
(01:36):
you know, an actual personality warrior. Is he's knighted, Yes,
you know he's I think he's he's more relatable than
Tammy and like.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You say, at a broader appeal. You know, he's done
so much within the community of rugby. League of Butchering
interviewed himwhaalagas. I didn't know how he got started as
like the Mad Butcher. He was just a butcher and
he used to ring into like newstalk z B or
something and just go office chops about it might have
(02:05):
him been radio sport office chops about whatever it was
that they were talking about, and so then they saved
him in their little system as the mad Butcher because
he was just a butcher and then all of a
sudden it sort of took off from there.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, the media, media created him. Media created him.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
So we didn't touch on Bears smoked Martin Crow too.
Oh yes, you there so, But you're saying today, Tomorrow
and Sunday.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Oh yes, sorry, Sunday is there's a real.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Real ding Gong's coming out?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well today, this one breaks my heart. It's Simon Mannoring
withs Stacy Jones today. I feel like within the country,
Simon Mannering's not far behind Stacy Jones in terms of
what he did for the club.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But I just think that Stacy Jones, like you said
about the Mad Butcher, he just sort of transcends about
He's still relevant. You know, we on the med Monday
podcast on Funnily Enough Monday, Ben Hurley did Hurley's Heroes
and it was Simon Mannering. Yeah, and you know, all
of the stats and facts around him, three hundred and
one games for the club. There's a mural of him
(03:13):
out there. He's now a builder around the Nelson Marlborough area,
I believe. But Stacy Jones, you know, so he sort
of disappeared off into obscurity. But Stacy Jones still rolling
durries in the coach's box, coach of the Kiwi's.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Yeah, just belove it isn't he.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Simon Mannering, I.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Just yeah, as the greatest New Zealander in that battle. Yeah,
he's a great in New Zealander Jones.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah, and in my mind, I mean I'm just picking sides. Yeah,
but tomorrow's Tomorrow's going to be interesting. We haven't went
to Saturday, so we won't be on here.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, so we need to address it now. And this
is Joan Ohlomo versus Colin Meads, and actually quite topical
because the documentary about Jonah's life has just been greenlit. Yeah,
they got halfway through and then there was an issue
around who had who owned the trademark for Jonah.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I think that went through the court. So now they've
picked it back up again.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well quite controversial, really, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Because Jonah Lomu gifted his entire IP to his lawyer. Yeah,
not his wife, Yeah, but to his lawyer, and quite
relatively forward thinking from Jonah because so it's not obviously
his lawyer doesn't benefit from it any Any money made
from the youth's IP goes to his sons through a
(04:30):
trust right. So he's trusted his lawyer to say, use
my IP, and anything you make from it goes to
my sons.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah. Skipping out the wife. Yeah, she's just like, what
the fuck, that's my husband. You can't tell me that
you own, you know, but it was.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
It's his last will and testament and the and the
law and the courts have said that's what he wanted.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Sorry, it's just another one of those like everyone's right,
but unfortunately the courts are going to say this way, Yeah,
he was your husband, you should have say on whatever
happens with But unfortunately there were pieces of paper that
was signed and he knew something. Long short of that
is we get to watch a Jonah docco and I
think that because I think there's going to be a
massive there'll be a generation of people who never got
(05:10):
to see him. I only just got to see him,
you know, in the sort of waning years of his career.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I wasn't you know. I was four and ninety five,
so I don't really remember it.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I watched Jonah play school boy rugby as a fourth
former Real Wesley College played our school in Hamilton and
the top four. He was playing number eight against Saint
Paul's Collegiate and obviously he was enormous and they were
getting owned in the front row Wesley by our school
(05:40):
who had a pretty formidable front row when I was
a fourteen year old, and they just put him in
the front row.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And he just buckled, absolutely buckled our front row.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It was like, oh God, this guy is an absolute
freak show. And then I think he played for the
All Blacks a year later. Everyone knew he was coming
through the ranks. It was like a it was you're
watching school with rugby and he was.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Like, holy shit, what was that? It was like, my god,
you haven't seen anything. Look, I love that that he's
that much better than everyone else.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Like, hey, where are we having problems off front row?
You check them in front row? Right?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Did the halfback ever see the ball out of a
scrum when he was at number eight?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
No, not when he could.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
It was one of those players that he did the minimum,
not the maximum, so if they were down, he would
take it off the back of scrum. Every time they
did beat us by about five points and he had
to step up in the second half, and when he did,
he was like I remember seeing about seven guys hanging
off them once, just like holding on for dear life,
trying to get him to the ground because I guess
his entire life he would have just been so much
better than everyone else.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
It's like, don't be a waker.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I've seen him on a Swiss ball.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
He used to do squats on a Swiss ball with
like one hundred kigs on his shoulders on a Swiss ball.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
That was how standing on top of him?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yes, Jesus, yeah, it was next level he because he
hung out with kiddie armor quite a lot down in Wellington.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Hence he's got his kidney.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Oh yes, and you were with them, Yes, yeah, I did. So.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I spent a little bit of not heap of time
with Jonah.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
He was you laying claim to his ip and estate.
I will go on here.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Look, I've been in touch with his lawyer and we're
going to recreate the time that I did a bodybuilding
competition and Jonah trained with us.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
He did. That's because he did bodybuilding.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
He did what was that a bit well he I
mean he couldn't compete to anyone.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
No one year.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
He wanted to get fit again, and I think him
and Grant and I entered I think maybe I think
it was a mister Wellington comp and he just wanted
to trim down and get in shape, so he did
a bit of bodybuilding. He was a unit man, but
nicest guy, nicest guy on.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Earth and a legend of the game. Totally like God
bless pine Tree.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Too much black and white footage. I don't think he's
going to win this.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I don't think he is either.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I couldn't tell you anything about the way Pine Tree
played rugby.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
He was a legend in his day because he was
just he was big, uncompromising back in the day when
there was a bit of there's any argy, barge on
the field, you see Colin and knock the fuck out, Yeah,
knock him out and then carry on. Farmer from Tika Witty,
Soul to the Earth. My granddad he's from Tika Witty
as well.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I had a farm out there. Would always get.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Confused for Colin Meads similar bills loved the massive ears. Yeah,
played a bit of code, looked like kind of well
foot a little bit.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
This is going to sound like a lie, but I
once got confused for John Olmu.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Kind of sounds kind of sounds like a lie.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I was at a like a bar, were you in Wales,
New Zealand? Boys out the front of the bar? Is
that yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he guys smaller in real life.
It was still quick though, but yeah, so jonas Pine
(08:53):
Tree tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That is really going to pass a few people off,
I think. And then on Sunday it's the Motor Games.
Enthusiasts are up McLaren versus John Britton.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, McLaren's taken that out.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I think it was much shorter odds when we have
poor Muliady from the tab putting this together. So yeah,
those are what you have to look forward to over
the weekend and hopefully something for you to you know,
debate discuss at the pub across the weekend. Hopefully we've
sparked a few discussions. I know that the Trump photo
that we posted last night head have you seen that?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, it's the portrait of him in in a cricketing vest,
which is a very preppy, ye kind of Stanford.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Princeton vibe, you know, like a pre Ivy League Ivy League.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Some transporter in the comments is like, I actually think
it's a tennis It's all right, it's actually probably a
golf outfit.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Who knows it looks like he's playing cricket. And so
we posted up there, what do you think people would would?
What would he bowl? I thought he'd bowl to chain
it man. But the comments on this have just been tremendous.
I wanted to read a couple of them to you.
The first song came to it said he would bowl tremendous,
(10:06):
tremendous stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
No one's ever seen a spell of bowling this good,
No one, no one? Yeah, he said so beautiful. Then
it's really hard to define. You guys are gonna love
it so much? Is that carpman? Or is it?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm going to it, although I'm not sure the world
is ready for it. It's something as friend Vladimir and
the guy they used to call the rocket Man call
a real bang it. It's gonna be great. It's gonna
be huge, so very very huge. You guys are gonna
love it. Another one. He's going to bowl the ball.
It'll be a great ball, maybe one of the greatest.
I don't know, you know what I mean. No one
knows how to bowl like I do. I'm going to
(10:41):
get that ball bowled.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I'm gonna get Mexico to pay for it and make
cricket great again.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
That's a good one.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Getting Mexico to pay for it is good.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
One of the best Halloween costumes overhead was I was
dressed up as a wall and my friend he was
dressed up as a Mexican and he paid for my costume.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
And I stood in front of him for the whole
night everywhere we went. I don't really get your costumes
that he paid for it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That's like when Matt he turned up to a dress
up party. It was an American theme and he dressed
up as Donald Trump. Oh yeah, but he over over
the overdid the ten and he came as full Barack
Obama blackface and everyone was like, bro, and he's like
I'm Trump. He guys, you're not You're not giving you're
(11:31):
not giving Trump vibes. You're giving very much the Obama vibe.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
And he's like.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
The fu fuck and he was trying to wash it
off at the party. Didn't come off.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
It was a disaster.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
That's a hate crime. Yeah, are the photos of the
Joe Jury's got the photos. Jo Jury has a mess
of dossier on every run of the a sec of
all the different photos. Yeah, I taken out of context.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
It could be very very He also made me dress
up as a monkey one time for a for a
photo shoot.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I've seen you dressed up as a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Oh, I've made I've been made to dress I was
made to dress up like a Nazi. But that that
was another one of those ones where it's like, hey,
can you come down and do this video shop?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Was that for the last Olympics?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I think it was for Champagne Rugby when we talked
about who made you?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Sorry something Nazi? And you just walked into the shot
and we're like no, no, no, not that kind of Nazi.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, and they're like, can you come down? Are we
going to do a shoot? I was told it was
something to do with Steve Irwin.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, someone was dressed as a thing, right, Joe was
Tom was dressed to Steve Irwin And then they're like, yeah,
here's your costume and like I already had a mustache,
but then I had to put like a fake mustache
on on top of it. I think it got sent
back to whoever was sponsoring Champagne Rugby at that time,
and they were like, absolutely not, did not post that,
(12:48):
and so that's still out there. Yeah, I forgot this
footage of me dressed as a Nazi there.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
You know when there's those big hacks that go on
and they slowly leak all the documents over time. If
somebody ever hacks into Joe Jury's computer and just slowly
leaks the photo, that's going to be the end of
quite a number of people.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
There's the photo of you in the dress from just
last year.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, oh yeah, from the head of you, you'd swapped
clothes with the head of legal from our company.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
It wasn't a great photo, No, it was a great
She looked way better in my clothes, I'll give you that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Then, oh look, you looked okay in in the sequin
sparkling dress. It was just the fact that you were maggot.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
That really got that really gave it away.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
There's a lot of sports actually happening this weekend. Let's
take a break, regroup, compose ourselves, run through the roll
adeics of hate crimes we've committed in the past, and
then come back and talk about the actual sport that's
happening this weekend. The All Blacks team has been named
over the weekend sorry overnight, as it always does, is
(14:00):
named immediately after we finished recording this podcast on a Thursday,
so we haven't seen it.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Not too many changes.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I'm just not a massive surprise obviously.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
The big talking point is Sam Kine back into the team,
coming off the bench, coming off the pitch.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
He hasn't played since something like February or March.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, given twenty minutes though, that's all he needs.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
And I think we talked about it on Monday post
the game. It was when they emptied the bench in
that last fifteen that the Ford Pack just looked a
little bit lost.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
The line out was in disarray. Yes, it was just
lost shape a little bit.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
To be fair to Argentina, their line out was sick
like they had obviously been like we're going to line
out the fuck out of these guys.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Yeah, but in the first half we had a Our
lineup was foldless in the first half, you know, Darius Rucker,
Sam Dowry was on fire, it was looking great and
then it just felled to bits in the second half.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, so that's a pretty good moves. The old argis. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I saw a lot of stuff online saying, oh, this
is the redemption arc of Sam Kine.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
You know, I don't feel that way.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Like, do you think that people out there feel like
he let us down in that Rugby World Cup final?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
No? I don't think so either.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I think everyone was in a grance that because that
whole year had been like the rules are fucking stupid,
it's going to affect a massive impactful game, and that's
exactly what happened. And I don't think anyone looked at
that and went, jeez, Sam Kaine let us down.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
We're like Rugby needs to sort their rules out. They
had nothing to do with him.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah, And prime example is that was in the weekend
with Ethan Blackhead are getting hit butted oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And then discussing whether he should be sent off.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
He got bumped off on his ass and they're like, look,
I know you're embarrassed that you got he's out in
your ears. So just going to maybe, yeah, just tack
that embarrassment and sit on the naughty seat, you.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Know, you don't get to play anymore.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
So I don't think. I've just seen a few stories
saying Sam Kine's back, you know, has shot it redemption.
I don't say it that way. I don't think really,
to be honest, anyone does. I wonder if they were
just looking for a bit of a headline there.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, and Joanne's back, Yeah, Rico's back?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
What's that about?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I thought Anton
Leonart Brown is he starting?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Aton leonnet Brown? Is Joanne's on the bench? No, Jordi
Barrett Rico janis starting?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Is he? I thought?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Because I thought dough Bro played pretty well against Argentinian,
so very solid. Maybe this is a chance for Rico,
you know, maybe he's got a little shot up his
us that he needs it. I don't know who knows
what's going on and raise his head, But yeah, t J.
Pittinada is starting again and the return of Caleb Kardashian yep,
Jack Jeb with the butt back on Eden Park.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I think it's a good call.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I think it is to him and Will Jordan, So
you know, I've swapped the wingers around entirely from where
they were against England.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I think it's good. I think Will Jordan has to
be on the field. Yeah, you got to find a
place for him. And then that does free your bench
up to just carry a winger, which they have as
mark Talia. Because you've got four full backs on the
starting field. You got d Mac, You've got Jordi Barrett,
You've got Will Jordan and you've got Body Barrett. Yeah,
so you've got four of them.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Watch bear.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I think Jordi Barrett was in this morning. He was
doing the car wash here it is, Yeah, him and
Dalton Papa. You don't preach looking looking, fighting fit. How
do you think this game goes?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I think the All Blacks win. I think they bounced back.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
They remember last the last time the Argentinians beat the
All Blacks, they got absolutely spanked a week later.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
But saying that they look pretty tidy. The Argentinians they
kind of know how to counter the All Blacks and
how to upset them, and that is basically through the forwards,
through the line out, scrums, breakdown.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
They were pretty immense in that second half.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
But I mean I know this sounds like a classic
All Blacks, but I think the All Blacks this time
will have enough impetus and motivation to beat them.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
And I've gone.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I was on Herdechi this morning and my hunch with
them was a same game mold. Because you can do
the same game multi three miss a league, you get
your money back in bones bits. So I've gone All
Blacks to win All Blacks between one to twelve, and
due to the fact there's going to be a little
bit of rain, under fifty one and a half points total.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah, I don't five bucks. I don't mind that the
All Backs are the shortest favorites, like they're about a
dollar seventeen, yeah, which doesn't make a lot of sense
to me after watching them just lose by eight points.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yea and Argentina back to five.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yeah, so, which seems like a good bit of happiness insurance.
I'm with you. I don't think they'll win, but I
didn't think that'd win last week.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, I know that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I'm unsure because they played so well, the Argentinians, and
they look so composed, yeah, last week, and they looked
they broke our line so many times they's scored fucking
thirty eight points against.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
The All Blacks.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, it's unheard of by su Forka, Australia or England,
let alone Argentina.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And the whole time I was watching the game, I
was sort of waiting for us to like, Oh, we're
going to win it, Yeah, win it.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
And then we didn't. Yeah. Oh I was at the
final whistle fuck yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
And then when there was that, Yeah, we talked about
the money when they ran the clockdown. It was classic
rugby league behavior. But yeah, So that's seven o'clock on
Saturday night. You're on the call with Matt Heath. Some
people saying that since you haven't called a Warriors win,
you may be the curse that lets your black.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
What are the rules? Now? Fuck it out? I thought
it was me and Chris were a curse for the Warriors.
Now it's me. Now it's not even the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm just trying to fleck it.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
PARTE. Are the rules at that point?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Rule?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The biggest cus that we've managed to pry Matt Heath
away from a corporate box at Eaton Park.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Oh, he wasn't committed and apparently got last minute call
up to a corporate box. But he's committed to us,
he's committed to the commentary. You know, he's committed to
the audience. Yeah, well, God bless him.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, I'm sure he'll bring it up a couple of
times on the commentary.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yeah, it's myself and Heath Tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Back on Skysport nine, thank god, back.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
On Skysport nine, you know, our cultural, spiritual home. But
because god, we got a lot of backlash last time.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Sky Sports Select.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Sorry about that on the wrong channel.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh, just just quickly on the game. The other changes
were to Mighty Williams comes of Ethan Degrut who got injured.
I don't recall it, but apparently it did happen. And
then that's about it. Blackadder, papoli Ardie Savier. It's powerful.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
That is a powerful back three.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I think that the all Becks are going to win
the dollars seventeen is ridiculous. I don't think that's I
don't think I think that's a fear reflection. Also, it
doesn't seem like it's a sellout.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
They're still still flogging tickets, flogging tickets at the moment.
I love when you see an ad that's saying, hey,
tickets are selling fast. It's like, why are you telling me.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Then final release?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah? I was like, okay, that's our selling so well,
why do you need me to buy one? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's a concern, isn't it. It is a massive concern.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It's like when a real estate agent tells you you
need to sign off right now, or if you go home,
this might sell to someone else. This is what this
dude just trying to do to me in this car
park one day. I was like, then, why do you
care if I buy it? What does it matter to you?
Who buys it?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yeah? Like you.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
If you've got another buyer, they sell it to him.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Why are you waiting for me? I'll just go you
sell it to someone else. Why are you accosting me
in this car pack? You fucking vampire? Anyway, shout out
till the rest. Shout out to real estate agents worldwide. God,
where would we be without you? But anyway, they.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Are they siphoning money out of an otherwise closed system. Yes,
when I sell you this guitar right here, do I
need to pay anyone else?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Know? Why is it that with houses? Anyway? I dugress
steell tickets, but getting fast to.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
The All Blacks game Final release, Final release, Mate. You
don't want to miss out, so make sure that you
get down there are. The uf SEA is also on
this weekend as well, Lane, Yeah, is this an all
Kiwi fair It's basically yeah. So it's UFC three or five.
It's over there in Perth. The Aussies are playing against
South Africa the same night as well. Jesus, Yeah, it's
a hell of a weekend over there in per.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
It's almost an all Kiwi cards. We've got Kay Carter
France is fighting. Dan Hookers also fighting, and the main
event of the evening will be Israel. This son, your
fighting against dricks Pussy. This is the Battle of Africa, Yes,
battle for the true African Champ. So yeah, if you
don't know dricas is. The guy's a white South African
gentleman and he's calling himself the only true African champ
(22:25):
in the UFC because he's the.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Only one who actually lives there, you know. So that
has really Israel off.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Quick recap on how we got here is he beat
Alex Pereira in the rematch, knocked them out that the
bow and arrow thing. Then he fought Sean Strickland. Yes,
who is the most u is the most cage fighting
looking dude of all time? Strickland? Strickland beat is he?
Then do plus C beat Strickland? So dupless? He has
the belt? Yes, that is he lost?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
I see.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
So if Israelisaunya wins this weekend, which I think he will,
he'll get the belt back. And Sean Strickland has apparently
been promised the winner of this fight. So there's a
lot of different sort of machinations going on.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
So and when is it Saturday?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Sunday?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Sunday?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Yeah, so they do the Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Wherever the cards are around the world, they line them
up so that they're at the prime time for America, right,
which means that the mainline, the headline is usually on
at like three or four in the afternoon on a
Sunday here for us. But beer in mind that Perth
is five hours behind us, so that's about eleven o'clock.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
In the morning in Perth.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Oh my god, dudes are there from like five six
in the morning preloading, preloading on the purse. Cut to
about nine ten am in Perth, and dudes are just
punching on.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
That's an all night of situation, isn't it. Yeah, you
going to the rugby the night before, going all night,
just straight and maybe a couple of pineapple lollies and
then straight into the UFC.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Yeah, so Israe to SNY.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I think it's fairly even odds on the two of them,
as he would be favored by about fifteen cents or something.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
If as He drops this one, there is some concern
about what he's gonna get up to for the rest
of this Nah.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I don't think so, because he's still enough of a
draw card and he's active enough, you know what I mean.
It's not like Condor McGregor, where we haven't seen him
fight in like three or four years. So no, I
think if as He loses this one, then it'll be
Dricers versus Strickland. And I still think we would want
to see azz He fight whoever lost that one, you know,
(24:33):
for another chance at the title. I think he's still
a massive, massive draw card in the UFC, and it
always prompts a talk of like when are we going
to see another card in Auckland because we haven't had
one in ages. Azrae Artison, you're basically told we're going
to get fucked. He's never bringing a card back here
again after they all got kicked out of their gym
in lockdown. But I think it's starting to sound like
(24:54):
it might be a bit closer. I think he's starting
to feel the love from the New Zealand media a
bit more so. Yeah, but that is on Sunday as
also a whole host of Australians fighting in that card
as well, so that'll be good watching on a Sunday.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Also great watching UFC.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I've sait it before or say it again, my favorite
sport to watch when I'm hungover because it's so good
to see someone having a worse day than I am.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
And that's exactly what you get to see.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You have to see a man getting his eyebrows split
open and his undies in front of millions of people
around the world.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
You're at least I'm not him.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
When's the press conference, because that's my favorite. The press
conference for UFC is hands down my favorite. When they
line them up in their terraces and then they just
start abusing each other even when they're not even fighting
each other.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
I feel like that might be today.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I love that, and they always give out us on
your shit about whacking off to anime porn.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I'm like, this is wild and this is broadcast live.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, and he's talking about, man, you whack after anime
and he's like, fuck it, dude, No, it's.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Just like fucking wild.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
This is what It's taken so long for the mainstream
media to pick up on UFC because they can't wrap
their head or out of it. What the fuck Like
if you've got a you know, a sports journalists in
New Zealand, all they've ever reported on is rugby union, yeah,
which is missionary the antithesis the players are very similar
tot UFC fighters that don't let them talk about that
kind of stuff. Then these guys couldn't give a shit
because you got to think about the mind of a
(26:12):
man who would fight another man in a cage and
his under his four A job. Obviously he's going to
be a bit nuts. Yeah, And so they say the
wildest shit in the UFC has done a great job
of been like, look, fuck it, this is who they are.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Imagine that. I mean, we've talked about this at ruggy players.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
If say, if Kayleb Clark came out and just said
kadat is his opposite number. I am going to snap
you in half like a twig. You come at me,
I am going to murder you. Yeah, and him come
back and go you're slow, I will. I've stepped grandmothers
than you, you useless piece of shit.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Piece of shit. And they weren't even playing last week
and then.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
The game you'd be like, get it to kayleb clak,
get it to is. I want to see them go.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Heare to hear. I've been saying this for the longest time.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I think a big problem in New Zealand why it
won't happen with Super Rugby is because those guys all
have to play together for the Blacks.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I know, but it's all surely a year older and international?
Yeah international, fine, but surely you're older. I mean it's
scrumming up business. You know, when you can abuse someone
in the office, which I've done recently, and you move on.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
And you carry on.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, I agree with you because I feel like Boden
Barrett got away with moving from the Hurricanes to the
Blue scot Free.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Yeah. No one said anything about it.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah they should. There should have been loads of smack talks.
Can't wait till you run it straight, suffer am He's
going to fold you enjoying awkward?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Did you get a bunch of Instagram followers for it? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
How's how's the Graham going?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Do you see Matt Heath in the corporate box?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
You know you're hanging out with Eth now?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Yeah? I think the trash.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I've said before they should have the press conferences for
Super Rugby games and have the captains and coaches sitting
up on the dass.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Figure it all out.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Huge rumors coming out of the Gulf world Apparently Live
is going to be coming to New Zealand.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
The headlines came out this morning overnight.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Roomors have been circulating that they're going to bring it
to christ Church, possibly as early as next year.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
The year Old Understands is reporting allegedly, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That they're looking at the possibility of bringing a high
profile tournament to christ Chooch Golf Club, New Zealand's second
oldest club. When they talk to the guy Mike Hadley,
who's the general manager there, he said that Live officials
did visit the course, but they haven't heard from them yet.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
And shock horror, New Zealand's oldest golfer is not happy.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
It's Jason hid play golf.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Bob Charles has come out and said I don't want
any part of it.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I was like, Buddy mass respect, You're amazing golfer, was
someone of the world's best left handers. I don't think
you're the poster boy for live golf, so I think
you're going to be fine. I think you're going to
be okay. I don't think they're gonna you don't have
to be part of it. I don't think you're going
to be on the poster because the demograph that they're
aiming for aren't going to go. Fuck Bob's going to
(28:54):
be their fucking neck and pass on the fucking party hole. Yeah,
but it's strange they got him to come on it.
It's like when they used to get Colin Meads or
Walter Headley to comment on the modern game of cricket
or rugby and Colina say they don't even eat enough
red meat.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Walter Headley would say they're not doing you know, they're
not in the nets long enough for they're not like
they just get some cliche. That's the same with Bob.
Bob's I don't want to be involved. So the headliners,
Bob Charles, they someone anything to do with live.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That's why they packed them before, before they even asked them,
they had the article written.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
They're let usk Bob Charles and the records. He's going
to tell us the funk off and then we'll make
that the headline.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
He said they'd been far too disruptive for the game.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Yeah, no, ship. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
When I worked in the mainstream media, the whole Fozzy
Razor thing was going on. I just call Laurie Mains
every other day. But what do you make of all
of this lorry bullshit?
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Wouldn't I have a beck in my day? Blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
That is out of the park anyway, great idea, Yes,
any government funding we've got that we're not spent on
the America's Cup, throw it to christ Church and get
live there.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I'm there and heartbeat and you watch I reckon.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
They would get twenty thousand people there and a live
event in christ Church, a great place to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Auckland's a bit apathetic on that shite.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Christ Hurt should be perfect And while everyone's looking at
the golf course, Russell Kurtz can go out there and
just clear Akado Harbor out of all of the Hecter's dolphins.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Dynamite Akado Harbor. Bring the sale GP back to christ.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
He Yeah, I don't know lives ready for the Canterbury
level of maggot.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
That I don't know. Adelaide Adelaide is.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Adelaide got voted the best live event in the world,
and ausis and we're talking countrysies here to Adelaide.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's not Sydney.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I think they do call it the christ Urch Australia.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
It's flat, flat as anything, a little bit religious sometimes,
a lot of cathedrals and churches around. I agree with you,
there is a level there that I mean, having experienced
a number of black clashes, you know. And it's the
guys who wear the sunglasses when when the same and
goes down, they put them across their forehead.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
That kind of vibe. Yeah, the concrete cowboys, and there
are in Williams boots and belts.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yes, cashed out.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Oh yeah, there's old money down there. Yeah, a lot
of old money down there. A lot of insurance swindlers
down there as some new money. But yeah, I think
love and if it happens, we have to get down.
I'm whoever's about charge of love.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Let's just start.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Pounding them with emails and DM saying I'm happy to
be involved, heavy to be involved, Heavy to be involved.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Involved. We'll do anything, literally anything. We have no obliged.
We don't have any moral objections to what you do.
We think it's fucking great.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
We'll take We'll take Bob Charles out of the play.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
You rebel.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
All on the Saudi back lift. All right, let's take
a quick break. We'll come back with your splits.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yours please, brought you by leader.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Shout out to the hearty community that I know listened
to this podcast quite religiously.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
We've got five I believe to get through today. First caller,
heir yours please.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Frosty Boy. Frosty Boy, his tasty treats will bring you joy.
Your taste buds will start to tingle when you hear
his happy jingle, often licked, never beatn Unfortunately I can't
say the same thing.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Fuck with Hamilton.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
There you go, see another Frosty Boy fan out there. Yeah,
often never beaten.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I forgot that that was his, That that.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
Rings a bell?
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Yeah because I never beat him. Yeah, because you say
when you hear his jingle. Year, So I think there
was a rival that. I think Frosty Boy, if I'm going,
if I'm thinking correctly, was a rival to mister Whippy,
mister whip, Yeah, because he had his own little chune
too often licked, never beaten.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, and that was the jingle. Yeah, yeah, that does
ring a bell. That really sparks something in my mind there.
So Frosty Boy was more your your deary based, but
I think he I think they had a soft serve
as well.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I think he hits the road to frosted work at
the road. Yeah, yeah, least know it's it's somewhere in
the memory back.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
I might have to do some research. Yeah right, another
call here, yours please?
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Fuck?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Yeah? Fair enough, sweet, thank you? Another call here yours please?
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Hey, fellas you cooy yourselves. Sports adjacent journalists got about
the one of the best throws towards the end of
the Olympics, the Serbian basketball team being persed as peg
ship at the middle ceremony. They finished your game straight
to the Serbian pub in the person for the next
ten hours. Should Billy stand on the on the podium.
(33:50):
That was great cheers.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yeah, I didn't see the middle ceremonies, so I can't
really comment on that.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I saw a bit of it, but I have seen
Yoki is basically on the perss ever since he was
about twenty four hours later. He was over back in
Serbia at a horse race. One of his horses was racing,
and he's just sitting down having a beer. He looks
ridiculous when he's out in the wild because he is
seven feet tall, yeah, and sloppy. And he was just
sitting there and they obviously had like I don't know
(34:18):
if it was like the owner's box or whatever. Some
old auntie was just standing there with her phone out.
Of course she had the like flip case flip case
with all of her.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Cards and ones.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Anyway, she just had the phone filming him in the
side of his fucking head. Then he sat down turned
his head away, so then she took another step to
the side.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
To keep filming. He was like, Kevin, my fucking break.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
He's been on the source for forty eight hours, he
said to bloody play Lebron James, just go.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Yeah, what more can he do? I also saw him
in Javo Jarmo Javo Javo, not Jarmo, Jarmo Cretney Zealander, Javo,
the guy who sneaks into all of the sporting fixtures.
He was in the of course, he was Olympic closing ceremony.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
You get onto the field.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Not only did he get on the field, he was
dressed as in England like a member of the Great
Britain team. He walked up onto the stage while people
were performing and they're yelling at him to get off
the stage.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
So did he get up there when Phoenix are playing
that kas Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
I respect that.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
I respect that because it wasn't interrupting play of a game,
live game. It was just being part of a party
and taking the pass there because some of his antics
got started to get a bit tedious for a while there.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
But like being involved in a team photo, funny, that's funny.
That's funny.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Interrupting a game, live game, not so much going into
a closing ceremony and getting on stage and partying.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
With athletes, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Gameers, great game winners. One last caller here for a
Friday yours please.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Guys, Just first watching eastboundon Down for the twentieth time
what would be New Zealand's Kinney Powers?
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Who would be New Zealand's Kinney Powers?
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Like who has gone from zero to zero and then
think I can come back again? All right, that's a
great question.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
I love Kenny Powers. Has he got like a Pitt
Magpie in the background.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Of Key or something? That's a good question and something
he might have to revisit.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Actually, yeah, I need to.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
I need to go into the memory bank to think
about that.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Maybe something we address on Monday, but I wanted to
play that out in case it triggered anyone sitting at home.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, for me.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Would Jesse Rider fit the bill, Yeah, I guess, and
tried to make a comeback and didn't quite work.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I guess he had this sort of over the top personality. Yeah,
it kind of looked a little bit like Kenny Hours.
And he had the same sort of game, like is
that a big motor hittingers? Yeah, and then lost it
all and never try to get it back. I don't
feel right.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
He had a big personality as well off field, different
than Kenny Powers.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
You're never gonna have a key with it's like him.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
No, And I don't think Jesse writer owned a jetski
called the was it the pante drop?
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (37:02):
No, I don't know. Well, hopefully that's triggered someone at home.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
You can send that and we'll knock this one on
the head for today, we're going out to do your
weightlifting things after Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yeah, And you know what, it's the worst possible timing
because I'm off on holiday next week for a week.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
It was a to go skiing and I'm potentially going
to go in a back brace.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
Yeah. I think it's your elbow that's going to go.
You can do you know, you've got acls and your
elbows and you're about to blow both of them.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
A right, sports book coming up?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Oh yes, we've got the sports book coming up, So
we're gonna have to knock the cig on the head
and get into that. That'll be on the same feed otherwise.

Speaker 3 (00:31):
Absolutely, yeah, get into double digits.
Speaker 1 (00:34):
Yeah, we almost broke double digits the other day. Nine
people watched it. If you can believe that.
Speaker 4 (00:39):
It's passed it onto the sponsors, perhaps if we were
better looking and weren't sitting slashed on these couches potentially and.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Hadn't eaten so many Rindo Pineapple lollies that were fidgeting
the whole way through, then maybe one day we're hit
ten the greatest.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
New Zealander of all time at rages on.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I've just realized that we didn't touch on it yesterday,
but it was the Mad Butcher versus Tammy from Briscoes.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
One that's massively one sided.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
Okay, the Briscoes lady and she got wasted. The Mad Butcher,
I think he is beloved. I don't know that the
Briscoes Lady is beloved.
Speaker 3 (01:12):
No, I think she's revered.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
And revered in the retail space, but beloved probably not.
She should have come up against She's more than Magnus,
Ben Rose, John and Adrian. You know, I think that
would be a ding dong. Yeah, between John and Adrian
and the Briscoes Lady. I think a retail head to head.
But Mad Butcher he transcends the retail butcher store into
(01:36):
you know, an actual personality warrior. Is he's knighted, Yes,
you know he's I think he's he's more relatable than
Tammy and like.
Speaker 1 (01:45):
You say, at a broader appeal. You know, he's done
so much within the community of rugby. League of Butchering
interviewed himwhaalagas. I didn't know how he got started as
like the Mad Butcher. He was just a butcher and
he used to ring into like newstalk z B or
something and just go office chops about it might have
(02:05):
him been radio sport office chops about whatever it was
that they were talking about, and so then they saved
him in their little system as the mad Butcher because
he was just a butcher and then all of a
sudden it sort of took off from there.
Speaker 5 (02:18):
Ah.
Speaker 3 (02:19):
Yeah, the media, media created him. Media created him.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
So we didn't touch on Bears smoked Martin Crow too.
Oh yes, you there so, But you're saying today, Tomorrow
and Sunday.
Speaker 5 (02:34):
Oh yes, sorry, Sunday is there's a real.
Speaker 3 (02:37):
Real ding Gong's coming out?
Speaker 1 (02:40):
Well today, this one breaks my heart. It's Simon Mannoring
withs Stacy Jones today. I feel like within the country,
Simon Mannering's not far behind Stacy Jones in terms of
what he did for the club.
Speaker 5 (02:52):
Blah blah blah.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
But I just think that Stacy Jones, like you said
about the Mad Butcher, he just sort of transcends about
He's still relevant. You know, we on the med Monday
podcast on Funnily Enough Monday, Ben Hurley did Hurley's Heroes
and it was Simon Mannering. Yeah, and you know, all
of the stats and facts around him, three hundred and
one games for the club. There's a mural of him
(03:13):
out there. He's now a builder around the Nelson Marlborough area,
I believe. But Stacy Jones, you know, so he sort
of disappeared off into obscurity. But Stacy Jones still rolling
durries in the coach's box, coach of the Kiwi's.
Speaker 5 (03:30):
Yeah, just belove it isn't he.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
I'm going to go. I'm going to go. Simon Mannering, I.
Speaker 5 (03:34):
Just yeah, as the greatest New Zealander in that battle. Yeah,
he's a great in New Zealander Jones.
Speaker 4 (03:40):
Yeah, and in my mind, I mean I'm just picking sides. Yeah,
but tomorrow's Tomorrow's going to be interesting. We haven't went
to Saturday, so we won't be on here.
Speaker 1 (03:49):
Yeah, so we need to address it now. And this
is Joan Ohlomo versus Colin Meads, and actually quite topical
because the documentary about Jonah's life has just been greenlit. Yeah,
they got halfway through and then there was an issue
around who had who owned the trademark for Jonah.
Speaker 5 (04:05):
I think that went through the court. So now they've
picked it back up again.
Speaker 3 (04:08):
Well quite controversial, really, isn't it.
Speaker 4 (04:09):
Because Jonah Lomu gifted his entire IP to his lawyer. Yeah,
not his wife, Yeah, but to his lawyer, and quite
relatively forward thinking from Jonah because so it's not obviously
his lawyer doesn't benefit from it any Any money made
from the youth's IP goes to his sons through a
(04:30):
trust right. So he's trusted his lawyer to say, use
my IP, and anything you make from it goes to
my sons.
Speaker 5 (04:37):
Yeah. Skipping out the wife. Yeah, she's just like, what
the fuck, that's my husband. You can't tell me that
you own, you know, but it was.
Speaker 4 (04:44):
It's his last will and testament and the and the
law and the courts have said that's what he wanted.
Speaker 5 (04:49):
Sorry, it's just another one of those like everyone's right,
but unfortunately the courts are going to say this way, Yeah,
he was your husband, you should have say on whatever
happens with But unfortunately there were pieces of paper that
was signed and he knew something. Long short of that
is we get to watch a Jonah docco and I
think that because I think there's going to be a
massive there'll be a generation of people who never got
(05:10):
to see him. I only just got to see him,
you know, in the sort of waning years of his career.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I wasn't you know. I was four and ninety five,
so I don't really remember it.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
I watched Jonah play school boy rugby as a fourth
former Real Wesley College played our school in Hamilton and
the top four. He was playing number eight against Saint
Paul's Collegiate and obviously he was enormous and they were
getting owned in the front row Wesley by our school
(05:40):
who had a pretty formidable front row when I was
a fourteen year old, and they just put him in
the front row.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
And he just buckled, absolutely buckled our front row.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
It was like, oh God, this guy is an absolute
freak show. And then I think he played for the
All Blacks a year later. Everyone knew he was coming
through the ranks. It was like a it was you're
watching school with rugby and he was.
Speaker 1 (06:01):
Like, holy shit, what was that? It was like, my god,
you haven't seen anything. Look, I love that that he's
that much better than everyone else.
Speaker 5 (06:09):
Like, hey, where are we having problems off front row?
You check them in front row? Right?
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Did the halfback ever see the ball out of a
scrum when he was at number eight?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
No, not when he could.
Speaker 4 (06:18):
It was one of those players that he did the minimum,
not the maximum, so if they were down, he would
take it off the back of scrum. Every time they
did beat us by about five points and he had
to step up in the second half, and when he did,
he was like I remember seeing about seven guys hanging
off them once, just like holding on for dear life,
trying to get him to the ground because I guess
his entire life he would have just been so much
better than everyone else.
Speaker 5 (06:39):
It's like, don't be a waker.
Speaker 3 (06:40):
I've seen him on a Swiss ball.
Speaker 4 (06:43):
He used to do squats on a Swiss ball with
like one hundred kigs on his shoulders on a Swiss ball.
Speaker 5 (06:48):
That was how standing on top of him?
Speaker 4 (06:50):
Yes, Jesus, yeah, it was next level he because he
hung out with kiddie armor quite a lot down in Wellington.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
Hence he's got his kidney.
Speaker 5 (06:58):
Oh yes, and you were with them, Yes, yeah, I did. So.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
I spent a little bit of not heap of time
with Jonah.
Speaker 5 (07:05):
He was you laying claim to his ip and estate.
I will go on here.
Speaker 4 (07:10):
Look, I've been in touch with his lawyer and we're
going to recreate the time that I did a bodybuilding
competition and Jonah trained with us.
Speaker 5 (07:16):
He did. That's because he did bodybuilding.
Speaker 4 (07:19):
He did what was that a bit well he I
mean he couldn't compete to anyone.
Speaker 5 (07:22):
No one year.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
He wanted to get fit again, and I think him
and Grant and I entered I think maybe I think
it was a mister Wellington comp and he just wanted
to trim down and get in shape, so he did
a bit of bodybuilding. He was a unit man, but
nicest guy, nicest guy on.
Speaker 1 (07:37):
Earth and a legend of the game. Totally like God
bless pine Tree.
Speaker 5 (07:44):
Too much black and white footage. I don't think he's
going to win this.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I don't think he is either.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
I couldn't.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
I couldn't tell you anything about the way Pine Tree
played rugby.
Speaker 4 (07:53):
He was a legend in his day because he was
just he was big, uncompromising back in the day when
there was a bit of there's any argy, barge on
the field, you see Colin and knock the fuck out, Yeah,
knock him out and then carry on. Farmer from Tika Witty,
Soul to the Earth. My granddad he's from Tika Witty
as well.
Speaker 3 (08:10):
I had a farm out there. Would always get.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
Confused for Colin Meads similar bills loved the massive ears. Yeah,
played a bit of code, looked like kind of well
foot a little bit.
Speaker 5 (08:19):
This is going to sound like a lie, but I
once got confused for John Olmu.
Speaker 3 (08:27):
Kind of sounds kind of sounds like a lie.
Speaker 5 (08:29):
I was at a like a bar, were you in Wales,
New Zealand? Boys out the front of the bar? Is
that yeah? Yeah, yeah, yeah, he guys smaller in real life.
It was still quick though, but yeah, so jonas Pine
(08:53):
Tree tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (08:54):
That is really going to pass a few people off,
I think. And then on Sunday it's the Motor Games.
Enthusiasts are up McLaren versus John Britton.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah, McLaren's taken that out.
Speaker 1 (09:04):
I think it was much shorter odds when we have
poor Muliady from the tab putting this together. So yeah,
those are what you have to look forward to over
the weekend and hopefully something for you to you know,
debate discuss at the pub across the weekend. Hopefully we've
sparked a few discussions. I know that the Trump photo
that we posted last night head have you seen that?
Speaker 4 (09:23):
Yeah, it's the portrait of him in in a cricketing vest,
which is a very preppy, ye kind of Stanford.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
Princeton vibe, you know, like a pre Ivy League Ivy League.
Speaker 5 (09:41):
Some transporter in the comments is like, I actually think
it's a tennis It's all right, it's actually probably a
golf outfit.
Speaker 1 (09:46):
Who knows it looks like he's playing cricket. And so
we posted up there, what do you think people would would?
What would he bowl? I thought he'd bowl to chain
it man. But the comments on this have just been tremendous.
I wanted to read a couple of them to you.
The first song came to it said he would bowl tremendous,
(10:06):
tremendous stuff.
Speaker 5 (10:07):
No one's ever seen a spell of bowling this good,
No one, no one? Yeah, he said so beautiful. Then
it's really hard to define. You guys are gonna love
it so much? Is that carpman? Or is it?
Speaker 1 (10:20):
I'm going to it, although I'm not sure the world
is ready for it. It's something as friend Vladimir and
the guy they used to call the rocket Man call
a real bang it. It's gonna be great. It's gonna
be huge, so very very huge. You guys are gonna
love it. Another one. He's going to bowl the ball.
It'll be a great ball, maybe one of the greatest.
I don't know, you know what I mean. No one
knows how to bowl like I do. I'm going to
(10:41):
get that ball bowled.
Speaker 5 (10:41):
I'm gonna get Mexico to pay for it and make
cricket great again.
Speaker 3 (10:45):
That's a good one.
Speaker 5 (10:46):
Getting Mexico to pay for it is good.
Speaker 6 (10:48):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
One of the best Halloween costumes overhead was I was
dressed up as a wall and my friend he was
dressed up as a Mexican and he paid for my costume.
Speaker 5 (11:00):
And I stood in front of him for the whole
night everywhere we went. I don't really get your costumes
that he paid for it.
Speaker 3 (11:06):
Oh that's good.
Speaker 4 (11:07):
That's like when Matt he turned up to a dress
up party. It was an American theme and he dressed
up as Donald Trump. Oh yeah, but he over over
the overdid the ten and he came as full Barack
Obama blackface and everyone was like, bro, and he's like
I'm Trump. He guys, you're not You're not giving you're
(11:31):
not giving Trump vibes. You're giving very much the Obama vibe.
Speaker 5 (11:37):
And he's like.
Speaker 4 (11:37):
The fu fuck and he was trying to wash it
off at the party. Didn't come off.
Speaker 3 (11:40):
It was a disaster.
Speaker 5 (11:41):
That's a hate crime. Yeah, are the photos of the
Joe Jury's got the photos. Jo Jury has a mess
of dossier on every run of the a sec of
all the different photos. Yeah, I taken out of context.
Speaker 1 (11:52):
It could be very very He also made me dress
up as a monkey one time for a for a
photo shoot.
Speaker 3 (11:57):
I've seen you dressed up as a Nazi.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Oh, I've made I've been made to dress I was
made to dress up like a Nazi. But that that
was another one of those ones where it's like, hey,
can you come down and do this video shop?
Speaker 5 (12:10):
Was that for the last Olympics?
Speaker 4 (12:11):
I think it was for Champagne Rugby when we talked
about who made you?
Speaker 3 (12:16):
Sorry something Nazi? And you just walked into the shot
and we're like no, no, no, not that kind of Nazi.
Speaker 5 (12:22):
Yeah, and they're like, can you come down? Are we
going to do a shoot? I was told it was
something to do with Steve Irwin.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
Yeah, someone was dressed as a thing, right, Joe was
Tom was dressed to Steve Irwin And then they're like, yeah,
here's your costume and like I already had a mustache,
but then I had to put like a fake mustache
on on top of it. I think it got sent
back to whoever was sponsoring Champagne Rugby at that time,
and they were like, absolutely not, did not post that,
(12:48):
and so that's still out there. Yeah, I forgot this
footage of me dressed as a Nazi there.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
You know when there's those big hacks that go on
and they slowly leak all the documents over time. If
somebody ever hacks into Joe Jury's computer and just slowly
leaks the photo, that's going to be the end of
quite a number of people.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
There's the photo of you in the dress from just
last year.
Speaker 5 (13:12):
Yeah, oh yeah, from the head of you, you'd swapped
clothes with the head of legal from our company.
Speaker 4 (13:20):
It wasn't a great photo, No, it was a great
She looked way better in my clothes, I'll give you that.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
Then, oh look, you looked okay in in the sequin
sparkling dress. It was just the fact that you were maggot.
Speaker 5 (13:33):
That really got that really gave it away.
Speaker 1 (13:39):
There's a lot of sports actually happening this weekend. Let's
take a break, regroup, compose ourselves, run through the roll
adeics of hate crimes we've committed in the past, and
then come back and talk about the actual sport that's
happening this weekend. The All Blacks team has been named
over the weekend sorry overnight, as it always does, is
(14:00):
named immediately after we finished recording this podcast on a Thursday,
so we haven't seen it.
Speaker 5 (14:04):
Not too many changes.
Speaker 3 (14:05):
I'm just not a massive surprise obviously.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
The big talking point is Sam Kine back into the team,
coming off the bench, coming off the pitch.
Speaker 5 (14:14):
He hasn't played since something like February or March.
Speaker 3 (14:17):
Yeah, given twenty minutes though, that's all he needs.
Speaker 4 (14:20):
And I think we talked about it on Monday post
the game. It was when they emptied the bench in
that last fifteen that the Ford Pack just looked a
little bit lost.
Speaker 3 (14:30):
The line out was in disarray. Yes, it was just
lost shape a little bit.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
To be fair to Argentina, their line out was sick
like they had obviously been like we're going to line
out the fuck out of these guys.
Speaker 4 (14:41):
Yeah, but in the first half we had a Our
lineup was foldless in the first half, you know, Darius Rucker,
Sam Dowry was on fire, it was looking great and
then it just felled to bits in the second half.
Speaker 5 (14:51):
Yeah, so that's a pretty good moves. The old argis. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (14:55):
I saw a lot of stuff online saying, oh, this
is the redemption arc of Sam Kine.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
You know, I don't feel that way.
Speaker 1 (15:03):
Like, do you think that people out there feel like
he let us down in that Rugby World Cup final?
Speaker 5 (15:08):
No? I don't think so either.
Speaker 3 (15:10):
No, not at all.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
I think everyone was in a grance that because that
whole year had been like the rules are fucking stupid,
it's going to affect a massive impactful game, and that's
exactly what happened. And I don't think anyone looked at
that and went, jeez, Sam Kaine let us down.
Speaker 5 (15:24):
We're like Rugby needs to sort their rules out. They
had nothing to do with him.
Speaker 4 (15:28):
Yeah, And prime example is that was in the weekend
with Ethan Blackhead are getting hit butted oh yeah.
Speaker 3 (15:34):
And then discussing whether he should be sent off.
Speaker 4 (15:36):
He got bumped off on his ass and they're like, look,
I know you're embarrassed that you got he's out in
your ears. So just going to maybe, yeah, just tack
that embarrassment and sit on the naughty seat, you.
Speaker 5 (15:48):
Know, you don't get to play anymore.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
Yeah, it was ridiculous.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
So I don't think. I've just seen a few stories
saying Sam Kine's back, you know, has shot it redemption.
I don't say it that way. I don't think really,
to be honest, anyone does. I wonder if they were
just looking for a bit of a headline there.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Yeah, and Joanne's back, Yeah, Rico's back?
Speaker 5 (16:04):
What's that about?
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I thought Anton
Leonart Brown is he starting?
Speaker 4 (16:08):
Aton leonnet Brown? Is Joanne's on the bench? No, Jordi
Barrett Rico janis starting?
Speaker 5 (16:14):
Is he? I thought?
Speaker 4 (16:15):
Because I thought dough Bro played pretty well against Argentinian,
so very solid. Maybe this is a chance for Rico,
you know, maybe he's got a little shot up his
us that he needs it. I don't know who knows
what's going on and raise his head, But yeah, t J.
Pittinada is starting again and the return of Caleb Kardashian yep,
Jack Jeb with the butt back on Eden Park.
Speaker 3 (16:37):
I think it's a good call.
Speaker 1 (16:38):
I think it is to him and Will Jordan, So
you know, I've swapped the wingers around entirely from where
they were against England.
Speaker 5 (16:45):
I like it.
Speaker 1 (16:46):
I think it's good. I think Will Jordan has to
be on the field. Yeah, you got to find a
place for him. And then that does free your bench
up to just carry a winger, which they have as
mark Talia. Because you've got four full backs on the
starting field. You got d Mac, You've got Jordi Barrett,
You've got Will Jordan and you've got Body Barrett. Yeah,
so you've got four of them.
Speaker 5 (17:06):
Watch bear.
Speaker 1 (17:07):
I think Jordi Barrett was in this morning. He was
doing the car wash here it is, Yeah, him and
Dalton Papa. You don't preach looking looking, fighting fit. How
do you think this game goes?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
I think the All Blacks win. I think they bounced back.
Speaker 4 (17:21):
They remember last the last time the Argentinians beat the
All Blacks, they got absolutely spanked a week later.
Speaker 5 (17:27):
Yea.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
But saying that they look pretty tidy. The Argentinians they
kind of know how to counter the All Blacks and
how to upset them, and that is basically through the forwards,
through the line out, scrums, breakdown.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
They were pretty immense in that second half.
Speaker 4 (17:45):
But I mean I know this sounds like a classic
All Blacks, but I think the All Blacks this time
will have enough impetus and motivation to beat them.
Speaker 3 (17:53):
And I've gone.
Speaker 4 (17:55):
I was on Herdechi this morning and my hunch with
them was a same game mold. Because you can do
the same game multi three miss a league, you get
your money back in bones bits. So I've gone All
Blacks to win All Blacks between one to twelve, and
due to the fact there's going to be a little
bit of rain, under fifty one and a half points total.
Speaker 5 (18:14):
Yeah, I don't five bucks. I don't mind that the
All Backs are the shortest favorites, like they're about a
dollar seventeen, yeah, which doesn't make a lot of sense
to me after watching them just lose by eight points.
Speaker 3 (18:25):
Yea and Argentina back to five.
Speaker 5 (18:27):
Yeah, so, which seems like a good bit of happiness insurance.
I'm with you. I don't think they'll win, but I
didn't think that'd win last week.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
Yeah, I know that's what I mean.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
I'm unsure because they played so well, the Argentinians, and
they look so composed, yeah, last week, and they looked
they broke our line so many times they's scored fucking
thirty eight points against.
Speaker 5 (18:46):
The All Blacks.
Speaker 4 (18:46):
Yeah, it's unheard of by su Forka, Australia or England,
let alone Argentina.
Speaker 5 (18:51):
No.
Speaker 1 (18:52):
And the whole time I was watching the game, I
was sort of waiting for us to like, Oh, we're
going to win it, Yeah, win it.
Speaker 5 (18:56):
And then we didn't. Yeah. Oh I was at the
final whistle fuck yeah.
Speaker 4 (19:00):
And then when there was that, Yeah, we talked about
the money when they ran the clockdown. It was classic
rugby league behavior. But yeah, So that's seven o'clock on
Saturday night. You're on the call with Matt Heath. Some
people saying that since you haven't called a Warriors win,
you may be the curse that lets your black.
Speaker 5 (19:17):
What are the rules? Now? Fuck it out? I thought
it was me and Chris were a curse for the Warriors.
Now it's me. Now it's not even the Warriors.
Speaker 3 (19:26):
I'm just trying to fleck it.
Speaker 5 (19:30):
PARTE. Are the rules at that point?
Speaker 2 (19:32):
Rule?
Speaker 1 (19:33):
The biggest cus that we've managed to pry Matt Heath
away from a corporate box at Eaton Park.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
Oh, he wasn't committed and apparently got last minute call
up to a corporate box. But he's committed to us,
he's committed to the commentary. You know, he's committed to
the audience. Yeah, well, God bless him.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Yeah, I'm sure he'll bring it up a couple of
times on the commentary.
Speaker 5 (19:51):
Yeah, it's myself and Heath Tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Back on Skysport nine, thank god, back.
Speaker 1 (19:55):
On Skysport nine, you know, our cultural, spiritual home. But
because god, we got a lot of backlash last time.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Sky Sports Select.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Sorry about that on the wrong channel.
Speaker 1 (20:05):
Oh, just just quickly on the game. The other changes
were to Mighty Williams comes of Ethan Degrut who got injured.
I don't recall it, but apparently it did happen. And
then that's about it. Blackadder, papoli Ardie Savier. It's powerful.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
That is a powerful back three.
Speaker 5 (20:20):
Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
I think that the all Becks are going to win
the dollars seventeen is ridiculous. I don't think that's I
don't think I think that's a fear reflection. Also, it
doesn't seem like it's a sellout.
Speaker 5 (20:32):
They're still still flogging tickets, flogging tickets at the moment.
I love when you see an ad that's saying, hey,
tickets are selling fast. It's like, why are you telling me.
Speaker 3 (20:40):
Then final release?
Speaker 5 (20:41):
Yeah? I was like, okay, that's our selling so well,
why do you need me to buy one? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (20:46):
It's a concern, isn't it. It is a massive concern.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
It's like when a real estate agent tells you you
need to sign off right now, or if you go home,
this might sell to someone else. This is what this
dude just trying to do to me in this car
park one day. I was like, then, why do you
care if I buy it? What does it matter to you?
Who buys it?
Speaker 5 (21:02):
Yeah? Like you.
Speaker 3 (21:03):
If you've got another buyer, they sell it to him.
Speaker 5 (21:05):
Why are you waiting for me? I'll just go you
sell it to someone else. Why are you accosting me
in this car pack? You fucking vampire? Anyway, shout out
till the rest. Shout out to real estate agents worldwide. God,
where would we be without you? But anyway, they.
Speaker 1 (21:25):
Are they siphoning money out of an otherwise closed system. Yes,
when I sell you this guitar right here, do I
need to pay anyone else?
Speaker 5 (21:32):
Know? Why is it that with houses? Anyway? I dugress
steell tickets, but getting fast to.
Speaker 1 (21:38):
The All Blacks game Final release, Final release, Mate. You
don't want to miss out, so make sure that you
get down there are. The uf SEA is also on
this weekend as well, Lane, Yeah, is this an all
Kiwi fair It's basically yeah. So it's UFC three or five.
It's over there in Perth. The Aussies are playing against
South Africa the same night as well. Jesus, Yeah, it's
a hell of a weekend over there in per.
Speaker 5 (22:01):
And it is.
Speaker 1 (22:02):
It's almost an all Kiwi cards. We've got Kay Carter
France is fighting. Dan Hookers also fighting, and the main
event of the evening will be Israel. This son, your
fighting against dricks Pussy. This is the Battle of Africa, Yes,
battle for the true African Champ. So yeah, if you
don't know dricas is. The guy's a white South African
gentleman and he's calling himself the only true African champ
(22:25):
in the UFC because he's the.
Speaker 5 (22:26):
Only one who actually lives there, you know. So that
has really Israel off.
Speaker 1 (22:33):
Quick recap on how we got here is he beat
Alex Pereira in the rematch, knocked them out that the
bow and arrow thing. Then he fought Sean Strickland. Yes,
who is the most u is the most cage fighting
looking dude of all time? Strickland? Strickland beat is he?
Then do plus C beat Strickland? So dupless? He has
the belt? Yes, that is he lost?
Speaker 5 (22:55):
I see.
Speaker 3 (22:55):
Yes.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
So if Israelisaunya wins this weekend, which I think he will,
he'll get the belt back. And Sean Strickland has apparently
been promised the winner of this fight. So there's a
lot of different sort of machinations going on.
Speaker 3 (23:08):
So and when is it Saturday?
Speaker 5 (23:10):
Sunday?
Speaker 3 (23:10):
Sunday?
Speaker 5 (23:11):
Yeah, so they do the Father's Day.
Speaker 1 (23:14):
Wherever the cards are around the world, they line them
up so that they're at the prime time for America, right,
which means that the mainline, the headline is usually on
at like three or four in the afternoon on a
Sunday here for us. But beer in mind that Perth
is five hours behind us, so that's about eleven o'clock.
Speaker 5 (23:32):
In the morning in Perth.
Speaker 1 (23:33):
Oh my god, dudes are there from like five six
in the morning preloading, preloading on the purse. Cut to
about nine ten am in Perth, and dudes are just
punching on.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
That's an all night of situation, isn't it. Yeah, you
going to the rugby the night before, going all night,
just straight and maybe a couple of pineapple lollies and
then straight into the UFC.
Speaker 5 (23:56):
Yeah, so Israe to SNY.
Speaker 1 (23:59):
I think it's fairly even odds on the two of them,
as he would be favored by about fifteen cents or something.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
If as He drops this one, there is some concern
about what he's gonna get up to for the rest
of this Nah.
Speaker 1 (24:12):
I don't think so, because he's still enough of a
draw card and he's active enough, you know what I mean.
It's not like Condor McGregor, where we haven't seen him
fight in like three or four years. So no, I
think if as He loses this one, then it'll be
Dricers versus Strickland. And I still think we would want
to see azz He fight whoever lost that one, you know,
(24:33):
for another chance at the title. I think he's still
a massive, massive draw card in the UFC, and it
always prompts a talk of like when are we going
to see another card in Auckland because we haven't had
one in ages. Azrae Artison, you're basically told we're going
to get fucked. He's never bringing a card back here
again after they all got kicked out of their gym
in lockdown. But I think it's starting to sound like
(24:54):
it might be a bit closer. I think he's starting
to feel the love from the New Zealand media a
bit more so. Yeah, but that is on Sunday as
also a whole host of Australians fighting in that card
as well, so that'll be good watching on a Sunday.
Speaker 5 (25:07):
Also great watching UFC.
Speaker 1 (25:09):
I've sait it before or say it again, my favorite
sport to watch when I'm hungover because it's so good
to see someone having a worse day than I am.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
And that's exactly what you get to see.
Speaker 1 (25:17):
You have to see a man getting his eyebrows split
open and his undies in front of millions of people
around the world.
Speaker 5 (25:23):
You're at least I'm not him.
Speaker 4 (25:24):
When's the press conference, because that's my favorite. The press
conference for UFC is hands down my favorite. When they
line them up in their terraces and then they just
start abusing each other even when they're not even fighting
each other.
Speaker 5 (25:35):
I feel like that might be today.
Speaker 4 (25:37):
I love that, and they always give out us on
your shit about whacking off to anime porn.
Speaker 3 (25:43):
I'm like, this is wild and this is broadcast live.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Yeah, and he's talking about, man, you whack after anime
and he's like, fuck it, dude, No, it's.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
Just like fucking wild.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
This is what It's taken so long for the mainstream
media to pick up on UFC because they can't wrap
their head or out of it. What the fuck Like
if you've got a you know, a sports journalists in
New Zealand, all they've ever reported on is rugby union, yeah,
which is missionary the antithesis the players are very similar
tot UFC fighters that don't let them talk about that
kind of stuff. Then these guys couldn't give a shit
because you got to think about the mind of a
(26:12):
man who would fight another man in a cage and
his under his four A job. Obviously he's going to
be a bit nuts. Yeah, And so they say the
wildest shit in the UFC has done a great job
of been like, look, fuck it, this is who they are.
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Imagine that. I mean, we've talked about this at ruggy players.
Speaker 4 (26:27):
If say, if Kayleb Clark came out and just said
kadat is his opposite number. I am going to snap
you in half like a twig. You come at me,
I am going to murder you. Yeah, and him come
back and go you're slow, I will. I've stepped grandmothers
than you, you useless piece of shit.
Speaker 5 (26:45):
Piece of shit. And they weren't even playing last week
and then.
Speaker 3 (26:47):
The game you'd be like, get it to kayleb clak,
get it to is. I want to see them go.
Speaker 5 (26:52):
Heare to hear. I've been saying this for the longest time.
Speaker 1 (26:54):
I think a big problem in New Zealand why it
won't happen with Super Rugby is because those guys all
have to play together for the Blacks.
Speaker 4 (27:00):
I know, but it's all surely a year older and international?
Yeah international, fine, but surely you're older. I mean it's
scrumming up business. You know, when you can abuse someone
in the office, which I've done recently, and you move on.
Speaker 3 (27:14):
And you carry on.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (27:15):
No, I agree with you because I feel like Boden
Barrett got away with moving from the Hurricanes to the
Blue scot Free.
Speaker 5 (27:21):
Yeah. No one said anything about it.
Speaker 4 (27:23):
Yeah they should. There should have been loads of smack talks.
Can't wait till you run it straight, suffer am He's
going to fold you enjoying awkward?
Speaker 5 (27:30):
Did you get a bunch of Instagram followers for it? Yeah? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (27:34):
How's how's the Graham going?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Do you see Matt Heath in the corporate box?
Speaker 3 (27:37):
You know you're hanging out with Eth now?
Speaker 5 (27:40):
Yeah? I think the trash.
Speaker 1 (27:41):
I've said before they should have the press conferences for
Super Rugby games and have the captains and coaches sitting
up on the dass.
Speaker 5 (27:47):
Figure it all out.
Speaker 1 (27:49):
Huge rumors coming out of the Gulf world Apparently Live
is going to be coming to New Zealand.
Speaker 5 (27:54):
The headlines came out this morning overnight.
Speaker 1 (27:57):
Roomors have been circulating that they're going to bring it
to christ Church, possibly as early as next year.
Speaker 5 (28:02):
The year Old Understands is reporting allegedly, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (28:06):
That they're looking at the possibility of bringing a high
profile tournament to christ Chooch Golf Club, New Zealand's second
oldest club. When they talk to the guy Mike Hadley,
who's the general manager there, he said that Live officials
did visit the course, but they haven't heard from them yet.
Speaker 3 (28:22):
And shock horror, New Zealand's oldest golfer is not happy.
Speaker 5 (28:27):
It's Jason hid play golf.
Speaker 3 (28:30):
Bob Charles has come out and said I don't want
any part of it.
Speaker 4 (28:33):
I was like, Buddy mass respect, You're amazing golfer, was
someone of the world's best left handers. I don't think
you're the poster boy for live golf, so I think
you're going to be fine. I think you're going to
be okay. I don't think they're gonna you don't have
to be part of it. I don't think you're going
to be on the poster because the demograph that they're
aiming for aren't going to go. Fuck Bob's going to
(28:54):
be their fucking neck and pass on the fucking party hole. Yeah,
but it's strange they got him to come on it.
It's like when they used to get Colin Meads or
Walter Headley to comment on the modern game of cricket
or rugby and Colina say they don't even eat enough
red meat.
Speaker 3 (29:10):
Walter Headley would say they're not doing you know, they're
not in the nets long enough for they're not like
they just get some cliche. That's the same with Bob.
Bob's I don't want to be involved. So the headliners,
Bob Charles, they someone anything to do with live.
Speaker 1 (29:24):
That's why they packed them before, before they even asked them,
they had the article written.
Speaker 5 (29:28):
They're let usk Bob Charles and the records. He's going
to tell us the funk off and then we'll make
that the headline.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
He said they'd been far too disruptive for the game.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Yeah, no, ship. I'll tell you what.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
When I worked in the mainstream media, the whole Fozzy
Razor thing was going on. I just call Laurie Mains
every other day. But what do you make of all
of this lorry bullshit?
Speaker 5 (29:46):
Wouldn't I have a beck in my day? Blah blah
blah blah.
Speaker 4 (29:50):
That is out of the park anyway, great idea, Yes,
any government funding we've got that we're not spent on
the America's Cup, throw it to christ Church and get
live there.
Speaker 3 (29:59):
I'm there and heartbeat and you watch I reckon.
Speaker 4 (30:02):
They would get twenty thousand people there and a live
event in christ Church, a great place to do it.
Speaker 3 (30:08):
Auckland's a bit apathetic on that shite.
Speaker 1 (30:10):
Christ Hurt should be perfect And while everyone's looking at
the golf course, Russell Kurtz can go out there and
just clear Akado Harbor out of all of the Hecter's dolphins.
Speaker 4 (30:18):
Dynamite Akado Harbor. Bring the sale GP back to christ.
Speaker 5 (30:22):
He Yeah, I don't know lives ready for the Canterbury
level of maggot.
Speaker 3 (30:28):
That I don't know. Adelaide Adelaide is.
Speaker 4 (30:32):
Adelaide got voted the best live event in the world,
and ausis and we're talking countrysies here to Adelaide.
Speaker 3 (30:39):
It's not Sydney.
Speaker 5 (30:40):
I think they do call it the christ Urch Australia.
Speaker 3 (30:42):
Yeah it is.
Speaker 4 (30:43):
It's flat, flat as anything, a little bit religious sometimes,
a lot of cathedrals and churches around. I agree with you,
there is a level there that I mean, having experienced
a number of black clashes, you know. And it's the
guys who wear the sunglasses when when the same and
goes down, they put them across their forehead.
Speaker 5 (31:02):
That kind of vibe. Yeah, the concrete cowboys, and there
are in Williams boots and belts.
Speaker 3 (31:07):
Yes, cashed out.
Speaker 1 (31:10):
Oh yeah, there's old money down there. Yeah, a lot
of old money down there. A lot of insurance swindlers
down there as some new money. But yeah, I think
love and if it happens, we have to get down.
I'm whoever's about charge of love.
Speaker 5 (31:23):
Let's just start.
Speaker 4 (31:24):
Pounding them with emails and DM saying I'm happy to
be involved, heavy to be involved, Heavy to be involved.
Speaker 5 (31:29):
Involved. We'll do anything, literally anything. We have no obliged.
We don't have any moral objections to what you do.
We think it's fucking great.
Speaker 3 (31:38):
We'll take We'll take Bob Charles out of the play.
Speaker 5 (31:41):
You rebel.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
All on the Saudi back lift. All right, let's take
a quick break. We'll come back with your splits.
Speaker 2 (31:55):
Yours please, brought you by leader.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Shout out to the hearty community that I know listened
to this podcast quite religiously.
Speaker 5 (32:06):
We've got five I believe to get through today. First caller,
heir yours please.
Speaker 7 (32:11):
Frosty Boy. Frosty Boy, his tasty treats will bring you joy.
Your taste buds will start to tingle when you hear
his happy jingle, often licked, never beatn Unfortunately I can't
say the same thing.
Speaker 5 (32:27):
Fuck with Hamilton.
Speaker 4 (32:29):
There you go, see another Frosty Boy fan out there. Yeah,
often never beaten.
Speaker 5 (32:34):
I didn't.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
I forgot that that was his, That that.
Speaker 5 (32:38):
Rings a bell?
Speaker 4 (32:38):
Yeah because I never beat him. Yeah, because you say
when you hear his jingle. Year, So I think there
was a rival that. I think Frosty Boy, if I'm going,
if I'm thinking correctly, was a rival to mister Whippy,
mister whip, Yeah, because he had his own little chune
too often licked, never beaten.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Yeah, and that was the jingle. Yeah, yeah, that does
ring a bell. That really sparks something in my mind there.
So Frosty Boy was more your your deary based, but
I think he I think they had a soft serve
as well.
Speaker 3 (33:07):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (33:08):
I think he hits the road to frosted work at
the road. Yeah, yeah, least know it's it's somewhere in
the memory back.
Speaker 5 (33:13):
I might have to do some research. Yeah right, another
call here, yours please?
Speaker 6 (33:20):
Fuck?
Speaker 5 (33:21):
Yeah? Fair enough, sweet, thank you? Another call here yours please?
Speaker 6 (33:26):
Hey, fellas you cooy yourselves. Sports adjacent journalists got about
the one of the best throws towards the end of
the Olympics, the Serbian basketball team being persed as peg
ship at the middle ceremony. They finished your game straight
to the Serbian pub in the person for the next
ten hours. Should Billy stand on the on the podium.
(33:50):
That was great cheers.
Speaker 3 (33:52):
Yeah, I didn't see the middle ceremonies, so I can't
really comment on that.
Speaker 1 (33:56):
I saw a bit of it, but I have seen
Yoki is basically on the perss ever since he was
about twenty four hours later. He was over back in
Serbia at a horse race. One of his horses was racing,
and he's just sitting down having a beer. He looks
ridiculous when he's out in the wild because he is
seven feet tall, yeah, and sloppy. And he was just
sitting there and they obviously had like I don't know
(34:18):
if it was like the owner's box or whatever. Some
old auntie was just standing there with her phone out.
Of course she had the like flip case flip case
with all of her.
Speaker 5 (34:26):
Cards and ones.
Speaker 1 (34:26):
Anyway, she just had the phone filming him in the
side of his fucking head. Then he sat down turned
his head away, so then she took another step to
the side.
Speaker 5 (34:34):
To keep filming. He was like, Kevin, my fucking break.
Speaker 1 (34:37):
He's been on the source for forty eight hours, he
said to bloody play Lebron James, just go.
Speaker 5 (34:42):
Yeah, what more can he do? I also saw him
in Javo Jarmo Javo Javo, not Jarmo, Jarmo Cretney Zealander, Javo,
the guy who sneaks into all of the sporting fixtures.
He was in the of course, he was Olympic closing ceremony.
Speaker 3 (35:00):
You get onto the field.
Speaker 1 (35:01):
Not only did he get on the field, he was
dressed as in England like a member of the Great
Britain team. He walked up onto the stage while people
were performing and they're yelling at him to get off
the stage.
Speaker 3 (35:10):
So did he get up there when Phoenix are playing
that kas Yeah, yeah, I think so.
Speaker 5 (35:15):
I respect that.
Speaker 4 (35:16):
I respect that because it wasn't interrupting play of a game,
live game. It was just being part of a party
and taking the pass there because some of his antics
got started to get a bit tedious for a while there.
Speaker 3 (35:28):
But like being involved in a team photo, funny, that's funny.
That's funny.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Interrupting a game, live game, not so much going into
a closing ceremony and getting on stage and partying.
Speaker 3 (35:39):
With athletes, that's funny.
Speaker 1 (35:40):
Gameers, great game winners. One last caller here for a
Friday yours please.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
Guys, Just first watching eastboundon Down for the twentieth time
what would be New Zealand's Kinney Powers?
Speaker 6 (35:53):
Who would be New Zealand's Kinney Powers?
Speaker 3 (35:57):
Like who has gone from zero to zero and then
think I can come back again? All right, that's a
great question.
Speaker 5 (36:07):
I love Kenny Powers. Has he got like a Pitt
Magpie in the background.
Speaker 3 (36:11):
Of Key or something? That's a good question and something
he might have to revisit.
Speaker 5 (36:14):
Actually, yeah, I need to.
Speaker 3 (36:16):
I need to go into the memory bank to think
about that.
Speaker 5 (36:19):
Yes, I agree with you.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
Maybe something we address on Monday, but I wanted to
play that out in case it triggered anyone sitting at home.
Speaker 3 (36:24):
Yeah, for me.
Speaker 4 (36:26):
Would Jesse Rider fit the bill, Yeah, I guess, and
tried to make a comeback and didn't quite work.
Speaker 1 (36:32):
I guess he had this sort of over the top personality. Yeah,
it kind of looked a little bit like Kenny Hours.
And he had the same sort of game, like is
that a big motor hittingers? Yeah, and then lost it
all and never try to get it back. I don't
feel right.
Speaker 4 (36:47):
He had a big personality as well off field, different
than Kenny Powers.
Speaker 5 (36:52):
You're never gonna have a key with it's like him.
Speaker 3 (36:54):
No, And I don't think Jesse writer owned a jetski
called the was it the pante drop?
Speaker 6 (37:00):
Yeah?
Speaker 5 (37:02):
No, I don't know. Well, hopefully that's triggered someone at home.
Speaker 1 (37:04):
You can send that and we'll knock this one on
the head for today, we're going out to do your
weightlifting things after Yeah, yeah.
Speaker 4 (37:10):
Yeah, And you know what, it's the worst possible timing
because I'm off on holiday next week for a week.
Speaker 3 (37:15):
It was a to go skiing and I'm potentially going
to go in a back brace.
Speaker 5 (37:19):
Yeah. I think it's your elbow that's going to go.
You can do you know, you've got acls and your
elbows and you're about to blow both of them.
Speaker 3 (37:26):
A right, sports book coming up?
Speaker 1 (37:28):
Oh yes, we've got the sports book coming up, So
we're gonna have to knock the cig on the head
and get into that. That'll be on the same feed otherwise.
