Speaker 1 (00:00):
Live from the Export Big out in Studio and brought
to you, as always by Export Ultra, the bear for here.
This is the Agenda Podcast for Thursday, the fourteenth of November.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Export Vulture.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
We're talking about it off here. Let's start the podcast
with it. Our headphones get taken every single fucking day,
every day, every day, every single day, we come in
here and our headphones are gone. And that is because
the big show.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Come in here and record their show and they what
they do is they come and record their outro before
their show in here and then just walk out with
the headphones. Yeah, or they don't have headphones your own studio. Yes,
And you had a good analogy around get your own
fucking headphones.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
My analogy was and I because working in media is
such a bizarre thing. There's a lot of people have
never had real jobs before and any other job. If
you're a builder and you don't have a hammer, you
just go and get another hammer.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
What you do not do is take another man's hammer.
That's that is sacred. SI causes big problems.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I'm I'm smelling some sort of revenge here. I'm sick
of it.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, we need to set some sort of trap up
here that you know, as the headphones go, a giant
rock falls on the head or something. What or do
electrified or do we just put something in the headphones
that gives them ear cancer?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Yet? I think it needs to be more immediate.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Ear cancer is going to be a long play ten years, okay.
I think like we need a spike coming straight through
the headphones, so they put them on and it just
pierces the ear drums straight away. Jace wouldn't even notice.
I don't think there's going to be some sort of retribution.
I was saying to us before at the freezing works,
if your knives are too sharp, the night shift would
come through and they'd check everyone's knives and be like,
(01:42):
oh shit, these onto sharp. I'll take these for the
night right. And all you needed to do is.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Just start a scrap in the parking lot once, yep,
just once, send a message.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, one little, not a full stab, maybe just a
nick prick them.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah yeah, I stabbed the guy in the elbow one
day and he just about threw down. He was yelling
at me from standing right next to me. I have
my knife in my right hand, and he's yelling my name,
but you know you ear prediction on and I finally
heard him in a turnround, what's that mate, and just
had the knife in my hand and just just put
it straight into his elbow and he went off his
rocket as you would look fair enough.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I've heard some horror stories, and I've and around putting
do you put your sharp knives and the dishwasher point
down or point up? Point down? I put everything point down. Yeah.
I used to just chuck it in Willie Nelly.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And then someone told me a story about someone who
tripped and fell on their open dishwasher and died because
they got a knife through the abdomen.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I don't know, it's like they fell down. And and
I say, from then on, our evening's point down, evening
point down.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
What so?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
No, no, no, I've always thought this the So there's let's
take for example, a fork. The pointy bit that's the
you know, that's part used for the fork for the food.
The other part that's a handle. Now that part that's
for your hand. So put that part sticking out of
the fucking dishwasher. So you grab the handle. It's built
(03:05):
for your fucking hands. Pull it out by the handle.
But saying that, no, before you even say it, they
do wash just as well up that way. They do
wash just.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
As well up that way. Guy's gonna say. They seem true.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
They seem more exposed when they're out of the cutlery tray,
when their utensil is facing up. It seems like they
get more of the wishy washy than they would if
they were at the bottom of the.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Bas that's a vibe thing. Turn them upside down for
a week and tell me they're any dirty.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
That's well, I've changed, and I've got your dish washer.
It's got the life flat tray at the top.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
That saves a lot of It saves a lot of
Like we were saying a few months ago, where I
was saying, I mean the missus never argue about well,
I stack the.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Dishwasher this way, she stacks it this one. We're both
fine with it.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And then I realized, no, she's just stopped talking about it,
but it still drives her insane.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, it's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
She's she's point up as well. I'm like I have
I still have my boning knives that in there. You
can't have those pointing up.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
My My wife is hegty piggoty dish washer. She doesn't
kick in the way. I don't care, but I do.
I go on and go what theyre's? So, why are
you doing that?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Why what are you doing that for?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I can't get and I've played them because you put
two salad bowls and you've just kind of stacked it
up like Jinger.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
But I'm not. I don't say it out loud, obviously
that's in my head. I go, yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I open it up, and you know, I just I'm
busying myself for five minutes rearranging everything, and then I
close it. I have Look, that's fifteen years of marriage.
As long as you don't project that onto her.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Ah. I have heard of people who have two dishwashers
and so and they have a full set of cutlery
in each and so they don't have a cutlery draw
or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
There's always one clean and one dirty and they just
take from there. So if you ever need.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Something clean, you take it out of the clean one.
When it's dirty, you put it in the other one
and they just swap around over.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
In average I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I can't get I can't get on board that why not?
I don't know. So using your dish drawer as a basically.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Your cupboard, yes, the therea is Why bother taking it
out of it? It's already a cupboard and then that
freeze up and the.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Cupboard for what more? Pots and pans? Yes, I suppose food.
I guess, I don't know. Oh like it.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's innovative, It is innovative, but it takes up a
lot of spaceway, digress.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Story out of the tennis world.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yes, today, Emma Radu Kanu has been confirmed to play
in the ASP Classic this year, which is great hot take.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yes, has she done everything anything since she won the
was it the US Open.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Or it was the US Open twenty twenty one? She
won as a wild card. What do they call it
when they have to play their way in qualifiers? Qualifier,
that's what it is. So she fought her way through
the qualifier. She was twenty twenty one at that time.
Next big thing, next big thing. Oh look, I think
she's been good, but I just this is the problem
when you have such success at an early age, immediately
(05:45):
people are like, oh, oh, if you're not the bloody
Michael Jordan of your sport, than you're a failure.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Lydia Co had the same issu, didn't she When she
burst on the scene. For a couple of years, she
was on an absolute heater. Yeah she's come back. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It is funny because like if you were just sort
of milling about in the middle, no one would be
asking what had happened to you, you know, But because
it was such a it was outrageous when she won
that like that was it was insane. I remember watching
it and where I was working at the time, we
had like a tennis sico in the office. So every day, right,
oh Johnny, what's going on? Well, look, but she's bloody
done it again. She's beaten this person who has ranked
(06:20):
this and blah blah blah, and she's played because the
other part of being a qualifiers you have to play
basically two tournaments because the qualifier starts so early, yeah,
to even get into the comps, so you're already buggered
by the end.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
So it's as be classic.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I think I feel sorry for sometimes the ASP classic
because it is used as a warm up for the
Aussie Open, and they often get some big names pull out, yeah,
who either pull out or come over and kind of
use it as an open wicket, open court session practice
and then kind of and they don't really want to
go the distance because it just means less preparation for Melbourne.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, or high charts of a rold Ankle. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
So it's funny one because you get they get some
great names. And don't get me wrong, I went to
the tennis last year. It was amazing, it was a
good time.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
My knew. We were hosted by great friends at dB,
which kind of help.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But yeah, I just sometimes feel like it's just a
bit of a I don't know, they treated as just
a couple of.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Warm up games and then I go to Melbourne, which, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It can be to a degree my greatest sporting regret
in my life, and actually it might even been just
my greatest regret in my life full stop, as I
did not go and see Serena Williams when she played
here that time, and I thought, you know what, she'll
be back next year.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
She wasn't.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
She never came back, and that was my last chance
to ever see Serena play live than the flesh.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So I regret that.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You're Okay, No I'm not, and I having people say
are you over it? No, ill never be over it.
I'll take that to the grave. Chris Wood is the
EPL Player of the month. Yeah, if you can believe that.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I can believe it because he's not heat talking about
being on a heater. He is on a massive heater.
Eight goals eleven games. He lifted Nottingham Forest into fifth
place on the ladder. I think he's actually their first player,
so obviously the first Keywa to be a Player of
the month.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I think he might even be their first place. Yes,
he is to be player of the month.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, I mean this is the like I think last
month was Earling Harlan in Man City. Like that's some
big he's some heavy hitters and he's back in New Zealand.
I think this weekend playing for the All Whites against
van Wa two and Hamilton on Saturday. So Hamiltonians, get
off your ass and go watch the best EPL striker
yea currently going around playing for the Whites.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You may not see Earling Harland and Hamilton anytime soon,
but you may just see Chris Wood.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, so go down there and check it out. Is
he then?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Is he then the greatest football player that this country
has ever produced?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I guess the only other argument is Winton Rufer. Yes,
that he got European Player of the Year one time
playing for Verte Bremen. I think his team was I
think he's probably the only argument. A European Player of
the Year is a pretty big achievement.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Winston Reed hitting that ball in twenty ten and South
Africa and maybe taking my shirt off and springing around
the lounge would be up there.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
One thing that could overtake that is obviously the FIFA
World Cup is going to be in the US, Mexico
and Canada next time. See they have increased the number
of teams, which means Oceania gets an automatic entry straight
into the FIFA World Cup.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
That's why Chris Wood's back playing for the All Whites.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Correct, we just need to beat our pool which is
like VANOA two, Papua New Guinea and a few other
Oceania teams. Luckily for US Australia a few years ago
thought the road to the World Cup was too hard
through Oceania playing a South American team, so they joined Asia,
so they saw an easier path of Asia, but they've
made their bed in Asia now and Asia is actually
(09:42):
quite a difficult pool to win now, seems way harder,
whereas we've got now got a clean road straight to
the finals. So New Zealand should make and if Chris
Wood can get us there and perform well on the
world stage and FIFA, then he will overtake Winston Ruff.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
As the greatest football in New Zealand's ever produced. There'll
be some.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Football kids who are probably screaming at the wall right now,
But that's my that's my laymen's me, my layman's rugby head.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Look at it.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Let me get them back onside. With this follow up question,
if he then is let's say that he is our
greatest football player ever produced. Does that make him the
greatest athlete that this country has ever produced? Because football
arguably the biggest sport on the planet.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh yeah, Look with that follow up question about football
is not arguably it is the biggest sport in the
world because it's so easy to play, just just a
ball and some.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Sticks, take your t shirts off and roll them up.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, I don't know about the greatest athlete of all time.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
And that's pretty wide. You got to look at the
goat in the boat you're go look at Dame vo
Is that there's some other pretty supreme athletes. But if
you look at popularity, yeah, i'd have to say up
there with Steven Adams potentially in terms of work like WORLDAGNYA,
I'd say too.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, I reckon more people know who Israea is than
Chris Wood.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
What about in the UK? Yeah, potentially I reckon. Actually,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Now and Steven Adams, to be honest, if you looking
at it just the straight numbers, yeah, but if on
the international stage in America, Mexico, will Canada, where we
end up if we win this qualified Yeah, then if
he performs there and can repeat some of his form here,
then yeah, he might be.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
He may just be the greatest great schnods too, one
of the great schnozzs. Oh, one of the all time
great snouts.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, are huge, one of the great snouts all the
time produced by this country. I'm really struggling to think
of a contender any one of the three guys that
stole our headphones from the studio afternoon to be in
the conversation. Other than that, the black Caps played overnight.
Let's take a quick break, we'll come back and we'll
talk about that. So the black Caps have lost their
(11:46):
first of three odio eyes. I believe against Sri Lanka
overnight came down to a bit of a duck with
Lewis situation where Sri Lanka scored three hundred and twenty
four for five, which is massive.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Then it rained.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Then they see us a target of two twenty one
and we did not get there.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's the first ODI we've played in eighteen months or so,
is it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It's been a T twenty world for the last wee
while because of the T twenty World Cup coming up.
Never that's all everyone want to practice for, so that's
it was a sense of workup.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I don't know, in terms of.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
ODIs, it's pretty rare at the moment. It's kind of
the it's kind of the ugly middle child. Yeah, it's
the redheaded orphan kind of of cricket because it's T
twenty is the sexy, money making test matches are the
die hard kind of purest form, and then you've got
the odiyes just in between, kind of pesting around not
knowing what to do.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Yeah, what is the future of the odeo? I do
think I like it.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I like it because it is like a mini test match.
It's got ebbs and flows that allow you to get
back into the game. You can be five to fifty
after ten overs in an ODI and rebuild to score
two fifty, two to sixty and still be in the
game five for fifty after ten and a T twenty
it's fucking over.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
So that's what I quite like about it, is that
you can get the drama of a I whant to
say full test, a test match, kind of the ebbs
and flows of that, and not just know like if
a T twenty sem scores two hundred and then the
other team's fifty for one after ten, it's all over.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Like you know what I mean, But you can rebuild
with it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I like ODII yeah, same, And for my entire childhood
I remember odio I being the default form of cricket. Yeah,
like it was Odioyes was cricket, and then there were
test matches.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
But I don't know where it fits in. Nah, I
don't know where. I don't know if there's room in
the landscape.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
And this is an argument that's been had ever since
T twenty has taken over?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Is where do you fit that in the landscape?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Because T twenty, whether you like it or not, is
going nowhere and that's the format that's going to be
used to expand the game.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It makes too much sense T twenty. Yeah. So that
so where fifty overs in the future is. I have
no idea. I don't see a future in a World Cup,
a fifty over a World Cup.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I think it's just going to be World Test Championship
and T twenty every two years.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, and I think the I remember when T twenties
came in. I was at high school and they were
have you seen what the black capstone? They're playing these
bloody twenty twenties and they played twenty I should try
one of those on Wednesday, And then we did it,
and we're like, oh, fucker one day, Yeah, let's just
do this. It takes all all day. The parents are like, no, no,
T twenties all tea twenties. We used to play test
(14:22):
matches where you'd play against the team on one Saturday,
then you go back again the next Saturday.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh that's the two days. Yeah, they killed me. Yeah,
they really were their own wisty to me. Yeah, at
the time cricket. My mom's like, I'm back out.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
To feeling again for a full day, a full day.
I hate cricket. At least if it's a home game,
she could just go home, you know, she knows I'm
up the road, true, but now she's got to drive
to Feely and then just sit there in the baking heat.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Yeah. I don't know whether.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I don't know where the Ohio sits. To be honest,
it's a it's a weird one because it doesn't suit
itself to a league. That's why T twenty has been
so great. Yeah, because you can play the IPL. All
these leagues have popped up. There's no odi I league.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
You can do what you can do it quickly as well.
You know, you can do the World Cup. You can
get over within a month, yes, and those i pls
you can get over in a six weeks or whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
That's why it's good. ODI eyes.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You can't because it's a full another full day. You
can't turn around and play another game the next day.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
You can't. So it's a shame. But I don't see
a future unfortunately with the way it's going.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
This is one of the hard the weird parts of
cricket is that international cricket's still the pinnacle of cricket,
and so it's it's so much different to every other
competition that's league based. So basketball is you got the
NBA and football EPL, your leagues, your Bunda League, your
Bunda leagues, and then so they make sense and you
can follow the league and blah blah blah blahas cricket's
(15:46):
still trying to figure out what the fuck it is.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
A yeah, and who knows. You know I talked about
last week. If you've got some sovereign wealth fun comes in,
yeah and does a live on cricket, Yeah, then that's
going to make it more confusing.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's funny you say that. The NBA's in season tournament.
Remember they started that last year. The courts looked different,
they played Grand Final in Vegas. It was actually quite
fun last year. But they didn't have a sponsor for
the first year. They do this year, and I guess
who it is. Do you know who it is?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Is it being sport or is it no sovereign Wealth
Fund of Saudi.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
It's Emirates. It's called the Emirates Cup this year.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I love that that's got you know, they're smart. They're
not saying, look, this is our sovereign wealth fund, this
is our airline.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Airline. Yeah, it's Switch, which has been rolled by the
Sovereign Wealth Fund. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
And actually where they make a lot of their money
Now it's not oil. People always think it's oil. It
was at one point.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Yeah, I mean, look, they still make a lot in
WW on that one.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, but but yeah, they have diversified, so the lead
is expanding for them. They're saying, by the way, Nathan Smith,
I think that was his debut for the Black Caps overnight.
Obviously there's an audio medium you can't see him, but
there is a photo going around of Nathan Smith, and
they're saying he looks like a young g Lane.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Well, I wish because he's got he's got piercing blue eyes.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
He does.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And when I was young, I looked when I was sixteen,
I looked like I was thirty. So I don't know
if that's a compliment for poor young Nathan Smith. Yeah,
my ears are a bit bigger. Yeah, here's yeah, Like
I mean, if I agree that here he's got to
he's got a square of jaw than you. Yeah, I mean, look,
he looks it's basically me if I was an athlete
(17:31):
twenty five years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
He's what you thought you looked like on a good day.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, when you were his age.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, that's a bit harsh on Nathan Smith, to be honest.
So he's saying making his way an international cricket, he
doesn't need this.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
No, speaking of international cricket, India playing South Africa and
they had to halt the game because of a plague
of locusts.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Did you see this? No, I've got the audio of it.
This is what it sounded like. Here.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Let's bring the.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Least of some of the crickets in some You're in
South Africa taking on India and the players are going
off the pitch because they're flying ants in the air.
Look at this, hundreds of them, some landing on the pitch,
some just swarming around the players and the umpires have
taken them off. So play suspended for flying ants.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
These things were huge too. You've been flying ants or locusts,
flying ants? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Apocalypse come about that? But yeah, honestly, so we've had
what have we had? We had a plague, we had
a pandemic. Yeah, now, we've had plagues of locusts.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Who invented flying ants. Where they come from? Oh my god,
giant flying ants.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's funny you asked that because krook Info had a
live block that that explained that this is very crooking
for of them to explain this horde of flying ants
and flying ants are commonly seen after rain because they're
looking for mates in places to start new colonies.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So sorry, so the rain, if it rains, they go, oh,
I'm out of here.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, we're on, Okay, We're It's a huge effort easiac
to the flying in community.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
This phase is called nuptial flights, and it's when a
virgin queen takes flight to mate with males. Flying It's
are most likely to appear after three to five days
of rain, when the weather is warm, humid and windy,
so flying it's honestly, you go go and have a
look pause podcasts, go and have a look at the
video of this. It was they had to stop. It
(19:24):
was like out of control. The amount of flying ants
are on the field.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
So the rains are three or four days and virgin
queens take off looking for a gang bang.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yes, and all the males chase them. Were they looking
for malest are looking for males? I wouldn't have to
look to it.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
So it's a huge gang of virgin queens the other
looking to pop their ant cherry.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yes, and so obviously any any male flying ant in
the area is gonna.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Like imagine like smell it from male flying ants is
cruising around and looks around the corner and there's ten
thousand virgin ants coming out here.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
You're like.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Fellas, fellas, we're allas nim on the cricket game. The
other part that they didn't mention there is, and I
think this is a large part of it.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
This was a night game. So the under flood lights
as well. So those poor ants are so lost. Yeah,
they're using the moon as guidance to find a lover
and I found five moons'.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Then the hot strike lights. Oh shit. So Giant and
Orgy called a hold to that game.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And just finally, while we're talking about sport, there's a
new in New Zealand safety Yet thank god too.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
That last one was getting so crispy.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
They keep recycling. A whole lot as well have been
gone for hard case. I haven't seen it, you haven't
seen it. No, well, describe it to me.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I will do one better. I'll play you a little
bit of audio. It features our very own Steven Adams.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
That's a hard time buzzer.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Adams still in front, Steve, how are you feeling?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to the life jacket. That does
sound really important. Actually your life jacket is within easy reach.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So real bizarre seguey there from Steven Adams. So the
other voice you may recognize Andrew Mulligan.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
One Andrew Mulligan.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
His mum would be so proud, Genny Mulligan, great New
Zealander should be so proud. I mean, I imagine we're
at the Christmas table this year. You know, they'll be
going around for highlights a year highlights and Genny will say,
do you know what I always wanted a child on
the New Zealand safety aired And you did it.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Andrew, well done, he did. He had to be in there.
It was great.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
So the video is basically Steven Adams playing a game
of basketball and they try and weave in all of
the safety messaging around that.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
They do a good job of some of them, as
we just heard there, some of them need a little
bit of work. There is a point.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Where they are drawing up x's and o's on the
sideline and they put the iPad that they're drawing it
on into flight mode.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Great. I thought that was good.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Steven Adams in his postmatch press conference saying I'm looking
forward to a life jacket.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
We probably could have done better than that. Yeah, I
think that's reaching a little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
How much do you think they've had Steven Adams to
do that? By the way, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
The answer here, but oh, I don't know. I mean
it would have been quite a bit, surely, Yeah, I
mean quite a bit. I have no idea how much
those kind of things pay. I would say Steven Adams
commands probably quite a lot these days. I'd say it
would be six figures at least. Oh, I don't think
it would be in the sevens.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I think he is on.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
He had a weird contract where it started off at
twenty almost thirty million US a year and now it's
trailed off.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Think he's on like fifteen and.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
He would have probably and knowing Steven Adams, he would
have thought it had been quite fun to do, yeah,
like come out do some super shit in near New Zealand.
And he's still a great New Zealand. He still loves
New Zealand. And yeah, he probably didn't probably charge the most.
I mean, if it was an American airline, he probably
would have reamed a million.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So it was like the you know, the other ad
where he's pushing meadow Fresh milk.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
You should drink their milk because they sponsor my camps.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
They know he's not a good actor, so don't make
them say a million lines.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Well that's the thing with any sports person. Don't please
don't make them act.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
When they made Steve Hanson act for that garage door
Dominator garage doors, Yeah, yeah, men's in here when I
got a garage door dominator. Domina is the market leader
in garage.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Doors, and it's like, holy shit.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
There was there was the Warriors one where they tried
to make them say that the burger came in a
briosh bun.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
None of them could read it though, briockery priockery bun, but.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It actually inevidently became one of the funniest dads that
you ever see. But anyway, yeah, so this is much
the same. They said, jeez, what a lucrative trip home
for Stephen Edams. Yeah, he really cashed and didn't he did.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, and he's back out there on the court this
year kicking ass as well, which is good to see.
All right, let's take a quick break and let's get
to yours please.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yours please, brought to you by Leader Home of the.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I haven't gone around to this for a couple of
days now, so let's get through some of the backlog.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
First, call it yours please.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Hey, boys, love what you're doing, but hey, get that
merch back on the fucking line. Great as coming around
and the boys want my hat everything, get it back
up and running, please, Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I think it is running the shops, running the shops running.
I think instead of the ship hats. I think we've
got more of those. They're ready to go.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
More coming. But I don't know if you saw over
this week. We had to send a bunch over to
the States. Yes, because the Golden State Warriors reached out
to us and they said, hey, Klay Thompson.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know he's a cult hero here.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
He won what three four championships think four, and you
know he's now not on the team. He's coming back.
We want to celebrate him. There's iconic videos of him
celebrating his championship on his boat wearing a captain's hat.
They said, we need captain's hats for you running attendance.
They didn't know where to saw some frims. They wrung
us and we had to ship all of our stock,
(24:46):
all of our stock to the San Francisco Bay area.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
And it couldn't have gone to a better cause either.
The photos look great, you.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Would have seen them, but that is why we don't
have any hats left.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, and they're more I think this week, yes, if
not next and Black Friday. We've got a massive sale.
On Black Friday. We can get three steady ships for
thirty bucks. Wehe should lose money on that, but that's okay.
We're doing ours, doing our ass.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I remember interviewing Ross Taylor one day on Hodaki and
he came in and we gave him a stead of
the ship hat and he goes, is Cain Williamson getting
a cut of these?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
And I was like, mate, we are so deep in
the fucking hole for.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
These If Cain Williamson wants a cut of the debt
we've gone into for these stupid hats that we're buying
and then just giving away.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
That's so true.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I think there's about thirty thousand of these hats out there,
of which we've given away twenty eight thousand of them
and try to sell a few just to pretty much
try and make ends meet.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
But no, it's a lost leader. We just want to
get the hats out deep. That's right. Yeah, they are
a great bit.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Of kit because you know, people often don't show up
with a hat on.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
They want a hat.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
They think it's going to provide some sort of sun
protection zero none SPF two got.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
If you're bald, I mean good, if you're bored, you know.
Actually no, some go straight through that. It's bad. If
you have a noose, you want to protect that. Of
Chris wod had the signer, his nose would just be
blistered torched.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So yeah, no, the shopper is up and there is
merch on there, and we have more merch on the
way as well.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Another caller here yours please?
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Good? Oh there fellas.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
I was just doing some research coming into summer looking
for a cricket set and it got me thinking, on
the back of this monumental and against India, is it
time to bring back the first bat just throwing it
out there. It's a good idea coming in the summer.
We want to sink some purse. We want to play
some cricket. Bring back the first bats.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Canary Yep, okay, nice, well, good news, good news from
next week, Rebel Sport are stocking not first bats unfortunately,
but the b y c acc range.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Of cricket gears.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
So you're so exciting plastic cricket sets and you'll be pleased.
It's hard to explain on a podcast, but we are
juicing in a backyard cricket bat that will revolutionize backyard cricket.
It is pretty much can you remember the bats that
David Warning used to use, that kooka Baro that just
was so fat and stupid you look at it and
go what. So We've created a plastic version of that
of the Big It's called the Punisher and it is
(27:17):
the most outrageous backyard bat. It's a plastic backyard cricket bat.
It is about I don't know, it's a met twenty
centimeters thick, so it's comedy thick and available.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Exclusively from Rebel Sports.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Plus we've got full pass it forward backyard sets, so
every set you buy, we give one to charity. We've
got a range of balls, swing balls, spin balls, soft balls,
hard graining balls, We've got everything. We've got little miniature
cricket sets. We've also got gutter board as well, which
is coming out, which is seeing a bit of resurgence. However,
the first bat, i'd have to address the first bat
(27:50):
that actually got banned by ASA advertising standards and the
Alcohol Advisory Board, classic fun police, Yeah, because it encourage
binge drinking. So unfortunately the first bat kind of got
a bit of a got a bit of a kind
of wow. I think they will. There were threatened threats
(28:10):
of legal action and all sorts.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
The other problem I would say about the technical aspects
of the first bat not.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Often washed, very hard to wash it.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
It's a real tang to it, because the thing is
you will use it one week and then it'll sit
baking in the heat for a month. Then you use
it again and it's tangy. Final point you're on it.
Anything is the first bat. If you have a power drill.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I was about to say that power drill and a hacksle,
because with a plastic cricket bat, you just need to
whip the top one centimeter off the handle.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
And boom.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
You've got to and maybe put a hole, like you're saying,
a power drill at the bottom at the toe of it,
just to put some air in there.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
And you've got a thirst beat.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Anything's a thirst bet if you are craft enough. I
think the caller had a follow up call.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Hey boys, So after some thought, I've been leaning into
the whole first bat thing.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Again.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I've got quite a syndicate behind me.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
So can we need the first bat back?
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Quite drunk driving through West Orphin right now, trying to
find a roundabout that we can hack it around.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Before kick ons.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
But we just think that in the morning.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
We want to go play some backyard cricket.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
And if there is a first bet, that would be
choice everybody.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
One to nine Atkinson was looking for. I think in
the background there Atkinson.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Wrote west Auckland let's hope that when he wasn't behind
the wheel.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
No, I don't think he would driving. You could hear
other people.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, I'm like going to say anything can be a
thirst bet. Yeah, for legal reasons it was. Torbyn Landell
was actually behind the Great New Zealander. He was behind
the first bats and I had him up about it
and he said look, man, we got so much, so
much heat from the fucking Nimby's from the police. No, yeah,
just people who just want to ruin any sort of
fund and ignor so he in the end it became
too troublesome in their thirst bet.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
So the annoying thing about that is the people that
complains that you weren't going to buy one and use
it anyway, what do you care?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Totally and it's you can still buy yard glasses. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yard classes way bigger than a first bet because we
only took a couple of beers.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Well, that's the other part about the first bet is
basically you're just drinking a beer.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
And if you can sell a beer, yeah, also may
as well ban rubber hoses and funnels. Yeah, that's right,
because that's irresponsible one.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
And gatorade bottles and host popes.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
You know. Umm, I think we've had a couple more
callers here. It's two more yours please.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Six forty one. I repeat, it is six forty one am.
I'm sitting about a third of the way up from
the bottom of Belmont Terrace in Milford North Shore, and
I've witnessed a lady with a small white dog let
her dog ship on the lawn of number fourteen, turn
(30:56):
around and walk off.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Class six forty one. That's good. No one saw, so
are we.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I don't know if this comes back to when I
was on Hurdacue Breakfast. I admitted to the fact that
I might phantom pick up my dog's poos on the
beachha only because I can't see it. Like when I
take him for a walk on the beach, the high
tide mark is full of all sorts of vegetation and
dead leaves and everything. Yeah, and often my dog only
shits in the high tide mark, and so he'd be
(31:27):
ten meters away and I'd se a shit, I go, fuck,
I gotta go get that, and then whatever, and I
go over there and I'm like, I can't fucking find this,
but I know eyes are on me because other people
are like He's like, And then I'd go I had
to go through the motions, and I'd go, oh, yeah,
and I just pick up a hole ot of sand
and then tie it off around with us.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
I can't find it, really, so I can't. So how
long have you been doing this for years?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Do you think that what happened in that park in
rural Holland where you rolled in dogs at the fortified
historic village of Naden, then washed your jersey and then mountain.
You think that was fate, Yeah, retribution, Yeah, subsequent point.
If you even need to find it again, why don't
(32:11):
you take your shirt off, lay it down on the
sand and then roll on it.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I reckon you'll find it pretty quick, just roll around
going things like shit around here. But my experience, you
will find it first. Pop.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Anyway, here we go. We can be an open line
for dobbing in non shit picks. But that's quite good
that it was so early. But I think that woman
would have just looked around, because when he's no one around,
it's like, did my.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Dog actually shit? Yeah? So bad people are always watching.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
There was the time there was a time where my
missus and I were house sitting for people in their
family and ash Burton of all places, and they had
a dog and I said, I'll take this dog for
a walk about two in the afternoon. I take it
for a walk and it starts taking it dumb and
I realized, oh god, no bear nothing, and it's on
(32:59):
the footpath. Then it was on the road side of
the footpath. Then there was a grass verge on the
other side. So I'm dragging this thing to try and
get it onto the grass, and all it does is
lay this giant diagonal shed across the footpath and no
one saw me.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
So I was like, we gotta go the footpath. Is
that is criminal? Because that sh it's worse. It's worse.
So I go downtown. I'm down to the bloody whatever
shop I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I got some snacks something I don't know, A couple
of beers fill my bag up. I come back now
it's three o'clock. School's been lit out, and I come
down the road. We're on that road, so I had
to go down it. There's all these school kids everywhere.
And I walked back past where I had dragged the
thing and there are pram wheelprints through.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
The dag and of dog shit on the footpath.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
See.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
People had to go at me.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
When I said this on Hurdache Breakfast, I was getting
a lot of hate.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yeah that's way worse. Yeah, way worse, I know.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
But I just felt like if we were gonna open
ourselves up to people dubbing people and for dogs shedding places,
I needed to come clean first. I couldn't have that
on my conscience for someone out of you before, someone
out of me, someone and.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Someone saw you do that. Someone was out, someone was
looking through their blind gain that mother, he's going to
walk on, He's going to walk away from that.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
School will be out shortly school surely then what Look
if someone did see that, then you're implicit too. You
could have gone out and cleaned it up. Shout out
to hunt a beautiful, beautiful golden retriever. Oh no, golden
retreated ship could really lay a cable hunter of them
under good again, that's a human size yeah, full one
(34:46):
point five minute da and.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Shit, I think we got one more caller before not
sing on the head.
Speaker 6 (34:50):
Yours forgive me, ma, and I father for I heed.
I went on here a little while bit, asking we
is the fucking commentary?
Speaker 10 (35:01):
Well you delivered all blacks Ireland to today, but I didn't.
I'll have a stag And they had the missionary commentary
on and I felt dirty, dirty, and then the entertainment
lader that night. I hope you can forgive me and
I will tune in to the next a sec commentary.
Speaker 3 (35:21):
I mean, well it's good that he could admits right, Well,
next all forgiven.
Speaker 4 (35:25):
Yeah, and look you've got a second chance this Sunday.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
That's right, your penances go out, get yourself Chris refreshing
ex Word Ultra.
Speaker 4 (35:33):
Yep, and enjoy the commentary this weekend.
Speaker 3 (35:35):
Yeah, Sunday, nine am, All Blacks, France. iHeartRadio on radio.
So it's pretty loose, no need to be slightly pc with.
Speaker 4 (35:46):
The sky coverage.
Speaker 3 (35:47):
But on radio, no, sorry, it's on iHeart on and
we worked out it's about thirty five seconds behind the coverage,
so you need to pause it for thirty five seconds
and then press play again and you'll be you'll be
SYNCD up.
Speaker 4 (35:58):
Listen for the kick of the boot I reckon. That's
the easiest way to do that. Rest whistle. Oh it's
hard to tell.
Speaker 1 (36:02):
It wasn't hard to tell with the whistle, but yeah,
pause it as someone's kicking it and then you will
be able to sink it up. All right, let's knock
this thing on the head. We'll see you tomorrow for
a Friday episode of the Gender Podcast.
Speaker 2 (36:12):
You've been listening to the ACC's Agender Podcast, brought to
you by Export Ultra. For more episodes, like and follow
on iHeartRadio form you get your podcast
Live from the Export Big out in Studio and brought
to you, as always by Export Ultra, the bear for here.
This is the Agenda Podcast for Thursday, the fourteenth of November.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Agenda Podcast, the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap Trap,
brought to you by Export Vulture.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
We're talking about it off here. Let's start the podcast
with it. Our headphones get taken every single fucking day,
every day, every day, every single day, we come in
here and our headphones are gone. And that is because
the big show.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
Come in here and record their show and they what
they do is they come and record their outro before
their show in here and then just walk out with
the headphones. Yeah, or they don't have headphones your own studio. Yes,
And you had a good analogy around get your own
fucking headphones.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
My analogy was and I because working in media is
such a bizarre thing. There's a lot of people have
never had real jobs before and any other job. If
you're a builder and you don't have a hammer, you
just go and get another hammer.
Speaker 4 (00:57):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
What you do not do is take another man's hammer.
That's that is sacred. SI causes big problems.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
I'm I'm smelling some sort of revenge here. I'm sick
of it.
Speaker 3 (01:06):
Yeah, we need to set some sort of trap up
here that you know, as the headphones go, a giant
rock falls on the head or something. What or do
electrified or do we just put something in the headphones
that gives them ear cancer?
Speaker 4 (01:19):
Yet? I think it needs to be more immediate.
Speaker 1 (01:21):
Ear cancer is going to be a long play ten years, okay.
I think like we need a spike coming straight through
the headphones, so they put them on and it just
pierces the ear drums straight away. Jace wouldn't even notice.
I don't think there's going to be some sort of retribution.
I was saying to us before at the freezing works,
if your knives are too sharp, the night shift would
come through and they'd check everyone's knives and be like,
(01:42):
oh shit, these onto sharp. I'll take these for the
night right. And all you needed to do is.
Speaker 4 (01:46):
Just start a scrap in the parking lot once, yep,
just once, send a message.
Speaker 3 (01:51):
Yeah, one little, not a full stab, maybe just a
nick prick them.
Speaker 1 (01:55):
Yeah yeah, I stabbed the guy in the elbow one
day and he just about threw down. He was yelling
at me from standing right next to me. I have
my knife in my right hand, and he's yelling my name,
but you know you ear prediction on and I finally
heard him in a turnround, what's that mate, and just
had the knife in my hand and just just put
it straight into his elbow and he went off his
rocket as you would look fair enough.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
I've heard some horror stories, and I've and around putting
do you put your sharp knives and the dishwasher point
down or point up? Point down? I put everything point down. Yeah.
I used to just chuck it in Willie Nelly.
Speaker 3 (02:28):
And then someone told me a story about someone who
tripped and fell on their open dishwasher and died because
they got a knife through the abdomen.
Speaker 4 (02:36):
I don't know, it's like they fell down. And and
I say, from then on, our evening's point down, evening
point down.
Speaker 5 (02:43):
What so?
Speaker 1 (02:44):
No, no, no, I've always thought this the So there's let's
take for example, a fork. The pointy bit that's the
you know, that's part used for the fork for the food.
The other part that's a handle. Now that part that's
for your hand. So put that part sticking out of
the fucking dishwasher. So you grab the handle. It's built
(03:05):
for your fucking hands. Pull it out by the handle.
But saying that, no, before you even say it, they
do wash just as well up that way. They do
wash just.
Speaker 4 (03:15):
As well up that way. Guy's gonna say. They seem true.
Speaker 3 (03:18):
They seem more exposed when they're out of the cutlery tray,
when their utensil is facing up. It seems like they
get more of the wishy washy than they would if
they were at the bottom of the.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
Bas that's a vibe thing. Turn them upside down for
a week and tell me they're any dirty.
Speaker 4 (03:31):
That's well, I've changed, and I've got your dish washer.
It's got the life flat tray at the top.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
That saves a lot of It saves a lot of
Like we were saying a few months ago, where I
was saying, I mean the missus never argue about well,
I stack the.
Speaker 4 (03:42):
Dishwasher this way, she stacks it this one. We're both
fine with it.
Speaker 1 (03:44):
And then I realized, no, she's just stopped talking about it,
but it still drives her insane.
Speaker 4 (03:49):
Yeah, it's one of those things.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
She's she's point up as well. I'm like I have
I still have my boning knives that in there. You
can't have those pointing up.
Speaker 4 (03:57):
My My wife is hegty piggoty dish washer. She doesn't
kick in the way. I don't care, but I do.
I go on and go what theyre's? So, why are
you doing that?
Speaker 2 (04:06):
Why what are you doing that for?
Speaker 3 (04:07):
I can't get and I've played them because you put
two salad bowls and you've just kind of stacked it
up like Jinger.
Speaker 4 (04:14):
But I'm not. I don't say it out loud, obviously
that's in my head. I go, yeah, it's interesting.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I open it up, and you know, I just I'm
busying myself for five minutes rearranging everything, and then I
close it. I have Look, that's fifteen years of marriage.
As long as you don't project that onto her.
Speaker 1 (04:28):
Ah. I have heard of people who have two dishwashers
and so and they have a full set of cutlery
in each and so they don't have a cutlery draw
or whatever.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
There's always one clean and one dirty and they just
take from there. So if you ever need.
Speaker 1 (04:41):
Something clean, you take it out of the clean one.
When it's dirty, you put it in the other one
and they just swap around over.
Speaker 4 (04:46):
In average I'm not. I'm not. I'm not.
Speaker 6 (04:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (04:48):
I can't get I can't get on board that why not?
I don't know. So using your dish drawer as a basically.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
Your cupboard, yes, the therea is Why bother taking it
out of it? It's already a cupboard and then that
freeze up and the.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
Cupboard for what more? Pots and pans? Yes, I suppose food.
I guess, I don't know. Oh like it.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
It's innovative, It is innovative, but it takes up a
lot of spaceway, digress.
Speaker 4 (05:11):
Story out of the tennis world.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
Yes, today, Emma Radu Kanu has been confirmed to play
in the ASP Classic this year, which is great hot take.
Speaker 4 (05:19):
Yes, has she done everything anything since she won the
was it the US Open.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Or it was the US Open twenty twenty one? She
won as a wild card. What do they call it
when they have to play their way in qualifiers? Qualifier,
that's what it is. So she fought her way through
the qualifier. She was twenty twenty one at that time.
Next big thing, next big thing. Oh look, I think
she's been good, but I just this is the problem
when you have such success at an early age, immediately
(05:45):
people are like, oh, oh, if you're not the bloody
Michael Jordan of your sport, than you're a failure.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Lydia Co had the same issu, didn't she When she
burst on the scene. For a couple of years, she
was on an absolute heater. Yeah she's come back. Yeah,
that's right.
Speaker 4 (05:59):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:59):
It is funny because like if you were just sort
of milling about in the middle, no one would be
asking what had happened to you, you know, But because
it was such a it was outrageous when she won
that like that was it was insane. I remember watching
it and where I was working at the time, we
had like a tennis sico in the office. So every day, right,
oh Johnny, what's going on? Well, look, but she's bloody
done it again. She's beaten this person who has ranked
(06:20):
this and blah blah blah, and she's played because the
other part of being a qualifiers you have to play
basically two tournaments because the qualifier starts so early, yeah,
to even get into the comps, so you're already buggered
by the end.
Speaker 4 (06:30):
So it's as be classic.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
I think I feel sorry for sometimes the ASP classic
because it is used as a warm up for the
Aussie Open, and they often get some big names pull out, yeah,
who either pull out or come over and kind of
use it as an open wicket, open court session practice
and then kind of and they don't really want to
go the distance because it just means less preparation for Melbourne.
Speaker 4 (06:53):
Yeah, or high charts of a rold Ankle. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (06:56):
So it's funny one because you get they get some
great names. And don't get me wrong, I went to
the tennis last year. It was amazing, it was a
good time.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
My knew. We were hosted by great friends at dB,
which kind of help.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
But yeah, I just sometimes feel like it's just a
bit of a I don't know, they treated as just
a couple of.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
Warm up games and then I go to Melbourne, which, yeah, anyway.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
It can be to a degree my greatest sporting regret
in my life, and actually it might even been just
my greatest regret in my life full stop, as I
did not go and see Serena Williams when she played
here that time, and I thought, you know what, she'll
be back next year.
Speaker 4 (07:28):
She wasn't.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
She never came back, and that was my last chance
to ever see Serena play live than the flesh.
Speaker 4 (07:33):
So I regret that.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
You're Okay, No I'm not, and I having people say
are you over it? No, ill never be over it.
I'll take that to the grave. Chris Wood is the
EPL Player of the month. Yeah, if you can believe that.
Speaker 3 (07:47):
I can believe it because he's not heat talking about
being on a heater. He is on a massive heater.
Eight goals eleven games. He lifted Nottingham Forest into fifth
place on the ladder. I think he's actually their first player,
so obviously the first Keywa to be a Player of
the month.
Speaker 4 (08:02):
I think he might even be their first place. Yes,
he is to be player of the month.
Speaker 3 (08:05):
Yeah, I mean this is the like I think last
month was Earling Harlan in Man City. Like that's some
big he's some heavy hitters and he's back in New Zealand.
I think this weekend playing for the All Whites against
van Wa two and Hamilton on Saturday. So Hamiltonians, get
off your ass and go watch the best EPL striker
yea currently going around playing for the Whites.
Speaker 1 (08:26):
You may not see Earling Harland and Hamilton anytime soon,
but you may just see Chris Wood.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
Yeah, so go down there and check it out. Is
he then?
Speaker 1 (08:34):
Is he then the greatest football player that this country
has ever produced?
Speaker 3 (08:39):
I guess the only other argument is Winton Rufer. Yes,
that he got European Player of the Year one time
playing for Verte Bremen. I think his team was I
think he's probably the only argument. A European Player of
the Year is a pretty big achievement.
Speaker 1 (08:56):
Winston Reed hitting that ball in twenty ten and South
Africa and maybe taking my shirt off and springing around
the lounge would be up there.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (09:04):
One thing that could overtake that is obviously the FIFA
World Cup is going to be in the US, Mexico
and Canada next time. See they have increased the number
of teams, which means Oceania gets an automatic entry straight
into the FIFA World Cup.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
That's why Chris Wood's back playing for the All Whites.
Speaker 3 (09:22):
Correct, we just need to beat our pool which is
like VANOA two, Papua New Guinea and a few other
Oceania teams. Luckily for US Australia a few years ago
thought the road to the World Cup was too hard
through Oceania playing a South American team, so they joined Asia,
so they saw an easier path of Asia, but they've
made their bed in Asia now and Asia is actually
(09:42):
quite a difficult pool to win now, seems way harder,
whereas we've got now got a clean road straight to
the finals. So New Zealand should make and if Chris
Wood can get us there and perform well on the
world stage and FIFA, then he will overtake Winston Ruff.
Speaker 4 (09:56):
As the greatest football in New Zealand's ever produced. There'll
be some.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Football kids who are probably screaming at the wall right now,
But that's my that's my laymen's me, my layman's rugby head.
Speaker 4 (10:06):
Look at it.
Speaker 1 (10:06):
Let me get them back onside. With this follow up question,
if he then is let's say that he is our
greatest football player ever produced. Does that make him the
greatest athlete that this country has ever produced? Because football
arguably the biggest sport on the planet.
Speaker 3 (10:20):
Oh yeah, Look with that follow up question about football
is not arguably it is the biggest sport in the
world because it's so easy to play, just just a
ball and some.
Speaker 4 (10:30):
Sticks, take your t shirts off and roll them up.
Speaker 3 (10:32):
Yeah, I don't know about the greatest athlete of all time.
Speaker 4 (10:36):
And that's pretty wide. You got to look at the
goat in the boat you're go look at Dame vo
Is that there's some other pretty supreme athletes. But if
you look at popularity, yeah, i'd have to say up
there with Steven Adams potentially in terms of work like WORLDAGNYA,
I'd say too.
Speaker 1 (10:53):
Yeah, I reckon more people know who Israea is than
Chris Wood.
Speaker 4 (10:58):
What about in the UK? Yeah, potentially I reckon. Actually,
you're right.
Speaker 3 (11:01):
Now and Steven Adams, to be honest, if you looking
at it just the straight numbers, yeah, but if on
the international stage in America, Mexico, will Canada, where we
end up if we win this qualified Yeah, then if
he performs there and can repeat some of his form here,
then yeah, he might be.
Speaker 4 (11:17):
He may just be the greatest great schnods too, one
of the great schnozzs. Oh, one of the all time
great snouts.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Yeah, are huge, one of the great snouts all the
time produced by this country. I'm really struggling to think
of a contender any one of the three guys that
stole our headphones from the studio afternoon to be in
the conversation. Other than that, the black Caps played overnight.
Let's take a quick break, we'll come back and we'll
talk about that. So the black Caps have lost their
(11:46):
first of three odio eyes. I believe against Sri Lanka
overnight came down to a bit of a duck with
Lewis situation where Sri Lanka scored three hundred and twenty
four for five, which is massive.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
Then it rained.
Speaker 1 (11:59):
Then they see us a target of two twenty one
and we did not get there.
Speaker 4 (12:04):
No, we didn't.
Speaker 3 (12:05):
It's the first ODI we've played in eighteen months or so,
is it.
Speaker 4 (12:09):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (12:09):
It's been a T twenty world for the last wee
while because of the T twenty World Cup coming up.
Never that's all everyone want to practice for, so that's
it was a sense of workup.
Speaker 4 (12:20):
I don't know, in terms of.
Speaker 3 (12:22):
ODIs, it's pretty rare at the moment. It's kind of
the it's kind of the ugly middle child. Yeah, it's
the redheaded orphan kind of of cricket because it's T
twenty is the sexy, money making test matches are the
die hard kind of purest form, and then you've got
the odiyes just in between, kind of pesting around not
knowing what to do.
Speaker 4 (12:41):
Yeah, what is the future of the odeo? I do
think I like it.
Speaker 3 (12:45):
I like it because it is like a mini test match.
It's got ebbs and flows that allow you to get
back into the game. You can be five to fifty
after ten overs in an ODI and rebuild to score
two fifty, two to sixty and still be in the
game five for fifty after ten and a T twenty
it's fucking over.
Speaker 4 (13:03):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
So that's what I quite like about it, is that
you can get the drama of a I whant to
say full test, a test match, kind of the ebbs
and flows of that, and not just know like if
a T twenty sem scores two hundred and then the
other team's fifty for one after ten, it's all over.
Speaker 4 (13:19):
Like you know what I mean, But you can rebuild
with it.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
I like ODII yeah, same, And for my entire childhood
I remember odio I being the default form of cricket. Yeah,
like it was Odioyes was cricket, and then there were
test matches.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
But I don't know where it fits in. Nah, I
don't know where. I don't know if there's room in
the landscape.
Speaker 3 (13:34):
And this is an argument that's been had ever since
T twenty has taken over?
Speaker 4 (13:39):
Is where do you fit that in the landscape?
Speaker 3 (13:41):
Because T twenty, whether you like it or not, is
going nowhere and that's the format that's going to be
used to expand the game.
Speaker 4 (13:47):
It makes too much sense T twenty. Yeah. So that
so where fifty overs in the future is. I have
no idea. I don't see a future in a World Cup,
a fifty over a World Cup.
Speaker 3 (13:57):
I think it's just going to be World Test Championship
and T twenty every two years.
Speaker 1 (14:00):
Yeah, and I think the I remember when T twenties
came in. I was at high school and they were
have you seen what the black capstone? They're playing these
bloody twenty twenties and they played twenty I should try
one of those on Wednesday, And then we did it,
and we're like, oh, fucker one day, Yeah, let's just
do this. It takes all all day. The parents are like, no, no,
T twenties all tea twenties. We used to play test
(14:22):
matches where you'd play against the team on one Saturday,
then you go back again the next Saturday.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Oh that's the two days. Yeah, they killed me. Yeah,
they really were their own wisty to me. Yeah, at
the time cricket. My mom's like, I'm back out.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
To feeling again for a full day, a full day.
I hate cricket. At least if it's a home game,
she could just go home, you know, she knows I'm
up the road, true, but now she's got to drive
to Feely and then just sit there in the baking heat.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
Yeah. I don't know whether.
Speaker 1 (14:48):
I don't know where the Ohio sits. To be honest,
it's a it's a weird one because it doesn't suit
itself to a league. That's why T twenty has been
so great. Yeah, because you can play the IPL. All
these leagues have popped up. There's no odi I league.
Speaker 3 (15:01):
You can do what you can do it quickly as well.
You know, you can do the World Cup. You can
get over within a month, yes, and those i pls
you can get over in a six weeks or whatever.
Speaker 4 (15:11):
That's why it's good. ODI eyes.
Speaker 3 (15:12):
You can't because it's a full another full day. You
can't turn around and play another game the next day.
Speaker 4 (15:17):
You can't. So it's a shame. But I don't see
a future unfortunately with the way it's going.
Speaker 1 (15:23):
This is one of the hard the weird parts of
cricket is that international cricket's still the pinnacle of cricket,
and so it's it's so much different to every other
competition that's league based. So basketball is you got the
NBA and football EPL, your leagues, your Bunda League, your
Bunda leagues, and then so they make sense and you
can follow the league and blah blah blah blahas cricket's
(15:46):
still trying to figure out what the fuck it is.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
A yeah, and who knows. You know I talked about
last week. If you've got some sovereign wealth fun comes in,
yeah and does a live on cricket, Yeah, then that's
going to make it more confusing.
Speaker 1 (16:00):
It's funny you say that. The NBA's in season tournament.
Remember they started that last year. The courts looked different,
they played Grand Final in Vegas. It was actually quite
fun last year. But they didn't have a sponsor for
the first year. They do this year, and I guess
who it is. Do you know who it is?
Speaker 3 (16:14):
Is it being sport or is it no sovereign Wealth
Fund of Saudi.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
It's Emirates. It's called the Emirates Cup this year.
Speaker 3 (16:23):
I love that that's got you know, they're smart. They're
not saying, look, this is our sovereign wealth fund, this
is our airline.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Airline. Yeah, it's Switch, which has been rolled by the
Sovereign Wealth Fund. Yeah, that's right. Yeah.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
And actually where they make a lot of their money
Now it's not oil. People always think it's oil. It
was at one point.
Speaker 4 (16:42):
Yeah, I mean, look, they still make a lot in
WW on that one.
Speaker 1 (16:45):
Yeah, but but yeah, they have diversified, so the lead
is expanding for them. They're saying, by the way, Nathan Smith,
I think that was his debut for the Black Caps overnight.
Obviously there's an audio medium you can't see him, but
there is a photo going around of Nathan Smith, and
they're saying he looks like a young g Lane.
Speaker 4 (17:05):
Well, I wish because he's got he's got piercing blue eyes.
Speaker 7 (17:08):
He does.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
And when I was young, I looked when I was sixteen,
I looked like I was thirty. So I don't know
if that's a compliment for poor young Nathan Smith. Yeah,
my ears are a bit bigger. Yeah, here's yeah, Like
I mean, if I agree that here he's got to
he's got a square of jaw than you. Yeah, I mean, look,
he looks it's basically me if I was an athlete
(17:31):
twenty five years ago.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
He's what you thought you looked like on a good day.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Yeah, when you were his age.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Yeah, that's a bit harsh on Nathan Smith, to be honest.
So he's saying making his way an international cricket, he
doesn't need this.
Speaker 1 (17:46):
No, speaking of international cricket, India playing South Africa and
they had to halt the game because of a plague
of locusts.
Speaker 4 (17:54):
Did you see this? No, I've got the audio of it.
This is what it sounded like. Here.
Speaker 1 (17:57):
Let's bring the.
Speaker 5 (17:58):
Least of some of the crickets in some You're in
South Africa taking on India and the players are going
off the pitch because they're flying ants in the air.
Look at this, hundreds of them, some landing on the pitch,
some just swarming around the players and the umpires have
taken them off. So play suspended for flying ants.
Speaker 4 (18:20):
These things were huge too. You've been flying ants or locusts,
flying ants? Right?
Speaker 1 (18:26):
Apocalypse come about that? But yeah, honestly, so we've had
what have we had? We had a plague, we had
a pandemic. Yeah, now, we've had plagues of locusts.
Speaker 3 (18:36):
Who invented flying ants. Where they come from? Oh my god,
giant flying ants.
Speaker 1 (18:40):
It's funny you asked that because krook Info had a
live block that that explained that this is very crooking
for of them to explain this horde of flying ants
and flying ants are commonly seen after rain because they're
looking for mates in places to start new colonies.
Speaker 4 (18:54):
So sorry, so the rain, if it rains, they go, oh,
I'm out of here.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Yeah, we're on, Okay, We're It's a huge effort easiac
to the flying in community.
Speaker 4 (19:03):
Right.
Speaker 1 (19:03):
This phase is called nuptial flights, and it's when a
virgin queen takes flight to mate with males. Flying It's
are most likely to appear after three to five days
of rain, when the weather is warm, humid and windy,
so flying it's honestly, you go go and have a
look pause podcasts, go and have a look at the
video of this. It was they had to stop. It
(19:24):
was like out of control. The amount of flying ants
are on the field.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
So the rains are three or four days and virgin
queens take off looking for a gang bang.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Yes, and all the males chase them. Were they looking
for malest are looking for males? I wouldn't have to
look to it.
Speaker 3 (19:38):
So it's a huge gang of virgin queens the other
looking to pop their ant cherry.
Speaker 1 (19:43):
Yes, and so obviously any any male flying ant in
the area is gonna.
Speaker 3 (19:47):
Like imagine like smell it from male flying ants is
cruising around and looks around the corner and there's ten
thousand virgin ants coming out here.
Speaker 4 (19:55):
You're like.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
Fellas, fellas, we're allas nim on the cricket game. The
other part that they didn't mention there is, and I
think this is a large part of it.
Speaker 3 (20:08):
This was a night game. So the under flood lights
as well. So those poor ants are so lost. Yeah,
they're using the moon as guidance to find a lover
and I found five moons'.
Speaker 4 (20:18):
Then the hot strike lights. Oh shit. So Giant and
Orgy called a hold to that game.
Speaker 1 (20:26):
And just finally, while we're talking about sport, there's a
new in New Zealand safety Yet thank god too.
Speaker 4 (20:31):
That last one was getting so crispy.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
They keep recycling. A whole lot as well have been
gone for hard case. I haven't seen it, you haven't
seen it. No, well, describe it to me.
Speaker 1 (20:41):
I will do one better. I'll play you a little
bit of audio. It features our very own Steven Adams.
Speaker 4 (20:47):
That's a hard time buzzer.
Speaker 3 (20:48):
Adams still in front, Steve, how are you feeling?
Speaker 4 (20:52):
Yeah, I'm looking forward to the life jacket. That does
sound really important. Actually your life jacket is within easy reach.
Speaker 3 (20:58):
So real bizarre seguey there from Steven Adams. So the
other voice you may recognize Andrew Mulligan.
Speaker 4 (21:04):
One Andrew Mulligan.
Speaker 3 (21:05):
His mum would be so proud, Genny Mulligan, great New
Zealander should be so proud. I mean, I imagine we're
at the Christmas table this year. You know, they'll be
going around for highlights a year highlights and Genny will say,
do you know what I always wanted a child on
the New Zealand safety aired And you did it.
Speaker 4 (21:20):
Andrew, well done, he did. He had to be in there.
It was great.
Speaker 1 (21:22):
So the video is basically Steven Adams playing a game
of basketball and they try and weave in all of
the safety messaging around that.
Speaker 4 (21:29):
They do a good job of some of them, as
we just heard there, some of them need a little
bit of work. There is a point.
Speaker 1 (21:34):
Where they are drawing up x's and o's on the
sideline and they put the iPad that they're drawing it
on into flight mode.
Speaker 4 (21:40):
Great. I thought that was good.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
Steven Adams in his postmatch press conference saying I'm looking
forward to a life jacket.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
We probably could have done better than that. Yeah, I
think that's reaching a little bit.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
How much do you think they've had Steven Adams to
do that? By the way, I don't know.
Speaker 3 (21:55):
The answer here, but oh, I don't know. I mean
it would have been quite a bit, surely, Yeah, I
mean quite a bit. I have no idea how much
those kind of things pay. I would say Steven Adams
commands probably quite a lot these days. I'd say it
would be six figures at least. Oh, I don't think
it would be in the sevens.
Speaker 4 (22:12):
I think he is on.
Speaker 1 (22:14):
He had a weird contract where it started off at
twenty almost thirty million US a year and now it's
trailed off.
Speaker 4 (22:19):
Think he's on like fifteen and.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
He would have probably and knowing Steven Adams, he would
have thought it had been quite fun to do, yeah,
like come out do some super shit in near New Zealand.
And he's still a great New Zealand. He still loves
New Zealand. And yeah, he probably didn't probably charge the most.
I mean, if it was an American airline, he probably
would have reamed a million.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
So it was like the you know, the other ad
where he's pushing meadow Fresh milk.
Speaker 4 (22:39):
You should drink their milk because they sponsor my camps.
Speaker 1 (22:43):
They know he's not a good actor, so don't make
them say a million lines.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Well that's the thing with any sports person. Don't please
don't make them act.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
When they made Steve Hanson act for that garage door
Dominator garage doors, Yeah, yeah, men's in here when I
got a garage door dominator. Domina is the market leader
in garage.
Speaker 4 (23:03):
Doors, and it's like, holy shit.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
There was there was the Warriors one where they tried
to make them say that the burger came in a
briosh bun.
Speaker 4 (23:11):
None of them could read it though, briockery priockery bun, but.
Speaker 1 (23:15):
It actually inevidently became one of the funniest dads that
you ever see. But anyway, yeah, so this is much
the same. They said, jeez, what a lucrative trip home
for Stephen Edams. Yeah, he really cashed and didn't he did.
Speaker 7 (23:25):
Wow.
Speaker 1 (23:26):
Yeah, and he's back out there on the court this
year kicking ass as well, which is good to see.
All right, let's take a quick break and let's get
to yours please.
Speaker 2 (23:35):
Yours please, brought to you by Leader Home of the.
Speaker 1 (23:41):
I haven't gone around to this for a couple of
days now, so let's get through some of the backlog.
Speaker 4 (23:45):
First, call it yours please.
Speaker 7 (23:48):
Hey, boys, love what you're doing, but hey, get that
merch back on the fucking line. Great as coming around
and the boys want my hat everything, get it back
up and running, please, Thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 3 (24:05):
I think it is running the shops, running the shops running.
I think instead of the ship hats. I think we've
got more of those. They're ready to go.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
More coming. But I don't know if you saw over
this week. We had to send a bunch over to
the States. Yes, because the Golden State Warriors reached out
to us and they said, hey, Klay Thompson.
Speaker 4 (24:23):
You know he's a cult hero here.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
He won what three four championships think four, and you
know he's now not on the team. He's coming back.
We want to celebrate him. There's iconic videos of him
celebrating his championship on his boat wearing a captain's hat.
They said, we need captain's hats for you running attendance.
They didn't know where to saw some frims. They wrung
us and we had to ship all of our stock,
(24:46):
all of our stock to the San Francisco Bay area.
Speaker 4 (24:51):
And it couldn't have gone to a better cause either.
The photos look great, you.
Speaker 1 (24:53):
Would have seen them, but that is why we don't
have any hats left.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Yeah, and they're more I think this week, yes, if
not next and Black Friday. We've got a massive sale.
On Black Friday. We can get three steady ships for
thirty bucks. Wehe should lose money on that, but that's okay.
We're doing ours, doing our ass.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I remember interviewing Ross Taylor one day on Hodaki and
he came in and we gave him a stead of
the ship hat and he goes, is Cain Williamson getting
a cut of these?
Speaker 4 (25:20):
And I was like, mate, we are so deep in
the fucking hole for.
Speaker 1 (25:22):
These If Cain Williamson wants a cut of the debt
we've gone into for these stupid hats that we're buying
and then just giving away.
Speaker 4 (25:30):
That's so true.
Speaker 3 (25:31):
I think there's about thirty thousand of these hats out there,
of which we've given away twenty eight thousand of them
and try to sell a few just to pretty much
try and make ends meet.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
But no, it's a lost leader. We just want to
get the hats out deep. That's right. Yeah, they are
a great bit.
Speaker 1 (25:47):
Of kit because you know, people often don't show up
with a hat on.
Speaker 4 (25:51):
They want a hat.
Speaker 1 (25:52):
They think it's going to provide some sort of sun
protection zero none SPF two got.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
If you're bald, I mean good, if you're bored, you know.
Actually no, some go straight through that. It's bad. If
you have a noose, you want to protect that. Of
Chris wod had the signer, his nose would just be
blistered torched.
Speaker 1 (26:11):
So yeah, no, the shopper is up and there is
merch on there, and we have more merch on the
way as well.
Speaker 4 (26:16):
Another caller here yours please?
Speaker 6 (26:19):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (26:20):
Good? Oh there fellas.
Speaker 8 (26:21):
I was just doing some research coming into summer looking
for a cricket set and it got me thinking, on
the back of this monumental and against India, is it
time to bring back the first bat just throwing it
out there. It's a good idea coming in the summer.
We want to sink some purse. We want to play
some cricket. Bring back the first bats.
Speaker 3 (26:41):
Canary Yep, okay, nice, well, good news, good news from
next week, Rebel Sport are stocking not first bats unfortunately,
but the b y c acc range.
Speaker 4 (26:53):
Of cricket gears.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
So you're so exciting plastic cricket sets and you'll be pleased.
It's hard to explain on a podcast, but we are
juicing in a backyard cricket bat that will revolutionize backyard cricket.
It is pretty much can you remember the bats that
David Warning used to use, that kooka Baro that just
was so fat and stupid you look at it and
go what. So We've created a plastic version of that
of the Big It's called the Punisher and it is
(27:17):
the most outrageous backyard bat. It's a plastic backyard cricket bat.
It is about I don't know, it's a met twenty
centimeters thick, so it's comedy thick and available.
Speaker 4 (27:28):
Exclusively from Rebel Sports.
Speaker 3 (27:29):
Plus we've got full pass it forward backyard sets, so
every set you buy, we give one to charity. We've
got a range of balls, swing balls, spin balls, soft balls,
hard graining balls, We've got everything. We've got little miniature
cricket sets. We've also got gutter board as well, which
is coming out, which is seeing a bit of resurgence. However,
the first bat, i'd have to address the first bat
(27:50):
that actually got banned by ASA advertising standards and the
Alcohol Advisory Board, classic fun police, Yeah, because it encourage
binge drinking. So unfortunately the first bat kind of got
a bit of a got a bit of a kind
of wow. I think they will. There were threatened threats
(28:10):
of legal action and all sorts.
Speaker 1 (28:12):
The other problem I would say about the technical aspects
of the first bat not.
Speaker 4 (28:16):
Often washed, very hard to wash it.
Speaker 1 (28:19):
It's a real tang to it, because the thing is
you will use it one week and then it'll sit
baking in the heat for a month. Then you use
it again and it's tangy. Final point you're on it.
Anything is the first bat. If you have a power drill.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
I was about to say that power drill and a hacksle,
because with a plastic cricket bat, you just need to
whip the top one centimeter off the handle.
Speaker 4 (28:40):
And boom.
Speaker 3 (28:40):
You've got to and maybe put a hole, like you're saying,
a power drill at the bottom at the toe of it,
just to put some air in there.
Speaker 4 (28:47):
And you've got a thirst beat.
Speaker 1 (28:48):
Anything's a thirst bet if you are craft enough. I
think the caller had a follow up call.
Speaker 8 (28:56):
Hey boys, So after some thought, I've been leaning into
the whole first bat thing.
Speaker 9 (29:00):
Again.
Speaker 4 (29:01):
I've got quite a syndicate behind me.
Speaker 9 (29:03):
So can we need the first bat back?
Speaker 8 (29:07):
Quite drunk driving through West Orphin right now, trying to
find a roundabout that we can hack it around.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
Before kick ons.
Speaker 9 (29:13):
But we just think that in the morning.
Speaker 4 (29:15):
We want to go play some backyard cricket.
Speaker 8 (29:16):
And if there is a first bet, that would be
choice everybody.
Speaker 4 (29:25):
One to nine Atkinson was looking for. I think in
the background there Atkinson.
Speaker 3 (29:28):
Wrote west Auckland let's hope that when he wasn't behind
the wheel.
Speaker 4 (29:31):
No, I don't think he would driving. You could hear
other people.
Speaker 3 (29:34):
Yeah, I'm like going to say anything can be a
thirst bet. Yeah, for legal reasons it was. Torbyn Landell
was actually behind the Great New Zealander. He was behind
the first bats and I had him up about it
and he said look, man, we got so much, so
much heat from the fucking Nimby's from the police. No, yeah,
just people who just want to ruin any sort of
fund and ignor so he in the end it became
too troublesome in their thirst bet.
Speaker 1 (29:55):
So the annoying thing about that is the people that
complains that you weren't going to buy one and use
it anyway, what do you care?
Speaker 4 (30:01):
Totally and it's you can still buy yard glasses. Yeah.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yard classes way bigger than a first bet because we
only took a couple of beers.
Speaker 1 (30:11):
Well, that's the other part about the first bet is
basically you're just drinking a beer.
Speaker 4 (30:14):
And if you can sell a beer, yeah, also may
as well ban rubber hoses and funnels. Yeah, that's right,
because that's irresponsible one.
Speaker 1 (30:23):
And gatorade bottles and host popes.
Speaker 4 (30:29):
You know. Umm, I think we've had a couple more
callers here. It's two more yours please.
Speaker 9 (30:35):
Six forty one. I repeat, it is six forty one am.
I'm sitting about a third of the way up from
the bottom of Belmont Terrace in Milford North Shore, and
I've witnessed a lady with a small white dog let
her dog ship on the lawn of number fourteen, turn
(30:56):
around and walk off.
Speaker 4 (30:59):
Class six forty one. That's good. No one saw, so
are we.
Speaker 3 (31:04):
I don't know if this comes back to when I
was on Hurdacue Breakfast. I admitted to the fact that
I might phantom pick up my dog's poos on the
beachha only because I can't see it. Like when I
take him for a walk on the beach, the high
tide mark is full of all sorts of vegetation and
dead leaves and everything. Yeah, and often my dog only
shits in the high tide mark, and so he'd be
(31:27):
ten meters away and I'd se a shit, I go, fuck,
I gotta go get that, and then whatever, and I
go over there and I'm like, I can't fucking find this,
but I know eyes are on me because other people
are like He's like, And then I'd go I had
to go through the motions, and I'd go, oh, yeah,
and I just pick up a hole ot of sand
and then tie it off around with us.
Speaker 4 (31:45):
I can't find it, really, so I can't. So how
long have you been doing this for years?
Speaker 1 (31:50):
Do you think that what happened in that park in
rural Holland where you rolled in dogs at the fortified
historic village of Naden, then washed your jersey and then mountain.
You think that was fate, Yeah, retribution, Yeah, subsequent point.
If you even need to find it again, why don't
(32:11):
you take your shirt off, lay it down on the
sand and then roll on it.
Speaker 4 (32:14):
I reckon you'll find it pretty quick, just roll around
going things like shit around here. But my experience, you
will find it first. Pop.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Anyway, here we go. We can be an open line
for dobbing in non shit picks. But that's quite good
that it was so early. But I think that woman
would have just looked around, because when he's no one around,
it's like, did my.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Dog actually shit? Yeah? So bad people are always watching.
Speaker 1 (32:39):
There was the time there was a time where my
missus and I were house sitting for people in their
family and ash Burton of all places, and they had
a dog and I said, I'll take this dog for
a walk about two in the afternoon. I take it
for a walk and it starts taking it dumb and
I realized, oh god, no bear nothing, and it's on
(32:59):
the footpath. Then it was on the road side of
the footpath. Then there was a grass verge on the
other side. So I'm dragging this thing to try and
get it onto the grass, and all it does is
lay this giant diagonal shed across the footpath and no
one saw me.
Speaker 4 (33:15):
So I was like, we gotta go the footpath. Is
that is criminal? Because that sh it's worse. It's worse.
So I go downtown. I'm down to the bloody whatever
shop I don't know.
Speaker 1 (33:29):
I got some snacks something I don't know, A couple
of beers fill my bag up. I come back now
it's three o'clock. School's been lit out, and I come
down the road. We're on that road, so I had
to go down it. There's all these school kids everywhere.
And I walked back past where I had dragged the
thing and there are pram wheelprints through.
Speaker 4 (33:48):
The dag and of dog shit on the footpath.
Speaker 8 (33:51):
See.
Speaker 4 (33:52):
People had to go at me.
Speaker 3 (33:53):
When I said this on Hurdache Breakfast, I was getting
a lot of hate.
Speaker 4 (33:56):
Yeah that's way worse. Yeah, way worse, I know.
Speaker 1 (34:01):
But I just felt like if we were gonna open
ourselves up to people dubbing people and for dogs shedding places,
I needed to come clean first. I couldn't have that
on my conscience for someone out of you before, someone
out of me, someone and.
Speaker 4 (34:13):
Someone saw you do that. Someone was out, someone was
looking through their blind gain that mother, he's going to
walk on, He's going to walk away from that.
Speaker 1 (34:24):
School will be out shortly school surely then what Look
if someone did see that, then you're implicit too. You
could have gone out and cleaned it up. Shout out
to hunt a beautiful, beautiful golden retriever. Oh no, golden
retreated ship could really lay a cable hunter of them
under good again, that's a human size yeah, full one
(34:46):
point five minute da and.
Speaker 4 (34:48):
Shit, I think we got one more caller before not
