This is the Agenda Podcast for Thursday, the twenty month
of November.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Agenda Podcast the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap trap,
brought to you by Export of Culture.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
And it's good to see Giliane this morning that you
were abiding by the gang patch band.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Oh yes, I was. I was thinking the exact same
thing each year.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
I was coming in this morning and the dude that
got arrested at three past midnight, and I was thinking, fuck,
I'm going to have to put my common Tero's jacket away.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yes, because are we going to get arrested for the
Common Teros?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I think there's worse fates for what we're doing with
the commentarios. Yeah, so we were. We I drafted up
a a sec gang patch yep, figured that you know,
we are a gang of commentators. Yeah, we should rebrand
as the common Teros now. I want to establish this
is not taking the piss out of any particular gang.
(00:55):
And if anything, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
It is.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's just that we wanted to dip our toes into this.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, you know, and I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
They look good in the leathers, the leather, the vest
look with the cutoff sleeves.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It's a sack lot bad ass. So that's that's all.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
But obviously the first stumbling block we had in forming
the common Tears. And we've got the gang, we've got
the artwork. Yeah, but no one would do the embroidery for.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Us, you know what. I was just talking to Pantsman
about it before. Very hard to find someone to embroider
into leather. He was wanted to put it on the blazers.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, but embroid it's quite it's a very light kind
of linen our jacket. Yeah, and putting that much stitching
on the jacket will completely deform it.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You might need the leather, actually, yeah, to keep its integrity.
That's why they have the leather, you see. But yeah,
you raise a good point about the the guy that
got arrested three minutes past. They had to make an
example of someone. It was always going to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But I love that.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I've got the image in my head of two dudes,
a policeman and a man in a gang patch, just
standing there at eleven fifty nine pm, like the wild
is waiting for the sound clock to ring.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
All the small talk to.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
You go.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Where do you Yeah? Do you have anything good for dinner?
What are you up to this weekend? Just like waiting
for it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I was also thinking this morning about imagine being like
the only cop and a small gang down, and you
wake up this morning and all of a sudden, every
single person you've seen in a gang patch has to
be a confrontation.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, yeah, you're in like a porta key.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, Like there would just be like god, what really?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Really?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Okay, okay, every single one?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, Mudipata.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
You're in Mudipata is how are you going to negotiate that? Guys,
we just don't take any photos or anything. That'd be
my that'd be my approach community. At least thing would
be like, guys, this is one of me. There's about
there's about fifty of you years.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You're to the teeth. Can we just come to it.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You can wear your patches and shit around like I
don't care, but just don't put anything on social media.
Don't let everyone kind of don't just no evidence. Yeah,
otherwise I'm going to have to pretend like I care well, otherwise.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What's going to happen is they're going to send cops
down from Auckland, and that's going to be a whole thing.
I don't want that. You don't want that, and so
let's just leave it. And I think that's applicable to
all walks of life. Whatever you're doing, If you know
you're doing something that you probably shouldn't be doing, just
don't rub whoever has to enforce it. Don't rub their
nose in it.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, because don't make them have to go, oh god,
I'm going to have to call the riot squad.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I would say that most of most bosses and supervisors
don't mind you having the idea on a Friday afternoon
or a Tuesday or a Tuesday, as long as you
getting the job done. As long as you're getting the
job done. What they don't want is for other people
to find out you're having a beer, well you're doing that,
or not turning out for work up front up of it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Absolutely, don't tune up because you go to a bed
sick and you were out in until two in the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, I mean, that's another one of my business theories. Yes,
always do you hangovers on the clock. Yeah, I'm thinking
about writing a business book.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah, I think your other one is always shut on
the clock as well.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Is that your not on shooting? That's that's Joe Jerry's.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Mine is piss up, show up, pass up, front up
first of all, and then always do you hangovers on
the clock. Never take a sick day. Don't waste a
sick day on being being hungover, because if you get
a physical job, you'll sweat it out by smoker. If
you've got an office job, just have an extra coffee
and shut up.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I thought you was actually in general, never take a
sick day.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Just oh no, take a sick day if you crook thinking.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
That's quite aggressive, because sick day should be days when
you go out and play golf.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
No, no, no, I hate when someone comes in and
there on death's door and you're like, just get out
of your coffin, all over me coffin and splutter and
grubby bust. Anyway, So yeah, the the Gang Patch band
is in full offiction.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
We should do.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
We have to let Sky know because we got them
a whole lot of well you divined, devised the mighty
missionary mob Gang Patch as well. So I'm going to
have to let them know, just to maybe pump the
brakes on just where that in public.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, yeah, we were the common arrosts and we were
up against the mighty Mission Rooy mob. I'm glad none
of that ever saw the light of day.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I'm still holding out hope, I still kind of want to.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I can see what's going to happen here is you're
going to get them made in the first bit of backlash. Look,
and I made them.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I would never innoy you like that. That is a
classic n Or maneuver. I you don't want to know
an en Or maneuver that was. That's an Enoll.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Courtney, not Brandon nor would never do that, No, I know.
But the thing is that their family gets mentioned on
this podcast far too often, and I get hit up
about it. Yeah, I'm shut up to big shoe bigs.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Chewey hey.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I did a roady yesterday. I went to Hamilton to
kick off because every year, I mean, these guys are crazy,
but it's it's the Sededon Cricket Club who are total
cricket houndis and this is the pink Blazer that you'll
see them in the test matches in Hamilton. You've got
a big marquee and they're all in their pink and
light pink stripey blazers. You know, basically mainly men forty
(06:05):
plus a couple of youngsters in there just to whip
it down and do the running.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
But they instigated the kind of Kindred Cup, which is a.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Competition around the country played by kind of private, privately
owned kind of grounds and older gentlemen generally who just
want to escape their families, get on the piss for
a weekend and they get together and play cricket. So
they play a five day Test match. Will they attempt
to play a five day Test match? They schedule for
five days against the November eleven. Yeah, and it was
(06:34):
up and funk it a up at Commmobile last year
and I think it went just got to three days
last year.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And because of that's just how long the game went.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Or Andrew Nada, the GW along the game with because
I mean, test cricket your five days, it's a lot
of it's a lot of balls. And when you're people,
you know, I would we were there for the first
ten overs they really lost two wickets, so it's kind
of it'll be over before the weekend. I imagine, but
God bless them, they're all there, they're all set up
ready for five days of cricket.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's so ambitious because we played in the Juloux trade.
He's eleven and the amount of hamstrings were torn totally.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
There's a there's a bucket of deep heat down in
the changing rooms that I went down there.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
From our team alone, Lead Baker tore every tendon in
his legs.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
The big thing is these said the guys.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
They might be older orthough I say older pro same
ages as me, but they still play quite regularly, so
they've broken it. That's the key. And then the November
team is a mish mash you know around. He's in there,
Robert Darnel who heads up, He's in there. And they
do raise a lot of money from this game as well,
so they have a competition within each team who can
raise the most amount of money. They've all got great
(07:45):
lip two pays everyone. Every single one of them is
rolling a great, great mo so that was good. When
our new it was passing with rain, but they did
manage to get under it. The greatest drainage. They're at
Saint Paul's, my old school. Some terrible photos of me
in the pavilion, which Joe Jury took delight and taking
photos of them and milking me.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
But great drainage.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
They managed to get a start about two o'clock in
the afternoon. So things are well and truly underway down there,
and we headed down there tomorrow night, Friday night for
an exhibition T twenty match down there. So once day
three is over of that match, we're going to roll
out there and play a Hamilton invitation or eleven?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Who they got? Do we know? What are we up against?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Tim si Fit's one of them.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
He's a couple of other kind of first class cricketers
are They're kind of assembled a bit of an all stars,
which is a bit disappointing because then I said who
you got and I see it's me my nia, but
made some contexts. Riley McCullum is going to play for us.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh so there you go, star of the Black class. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
So that's that's the kind of one name that we're
rolling out just to try and intimidate them.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Three of us. Yeah. So we've got a bowler, a
working in one fielder.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
That's our Simon Grafius. He's a ill graft away. He's
hoping the best. Yeah, we have got a full eleven.
But it's going to be an interesting interesting Yeah, we
got Look, let's just say we're going to be relying
on the ringings.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
There's nine ringings and me and you.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I heard we've got I heard Lucky Ferguson's using this
as a warm up for us, and he's playing for us.
So I heard, did you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I sent it out to him, but he didn't confume.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I just love the last couple of times we've played
some of these games, we've talked shit on to the
microphone about having random people on our team, and the
other teams have shit their pants.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You remember they there was a rumor in the DEWLX
trades and the weird Neil Wagner.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yes, yes, that's what it was, and they were fucking
shitting themselves. They were like, and we didn't even start
that they started that rumor.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Nah. Well, we pulled up to that thing the night before.
I'd had a couple of beers and I was just
walking through into the bathroom. I didn't even know we
were actually at the event already. Yeah, but we're at
the Jewls Tradings eleven and as I was walking through,
people were like, hey, do you actually have Neil Wagner
and your team? I was like, what how do you
know about this? How do you even know about the
cricket game? This is the So yeah, anyway, Shane Bond
(10:04):
is coming down to play yep for us as well as.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, we've managed to get him, Yeah, managed to get
him down.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Tim Saudi apparently looking he just lives out in Cambridge's
over and roll the arm over.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah that's right, he said. He's having a bit of
trouble the short short ball at the moment, so he
wants to come down and work that one out.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, given one under the arm pit because he knows
that Ben Stokes hates it under there.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
So that's right. Yeah, so you're be coming around the
workout to pinning it right into your fucking lymph nodes.
So yeah, good luck to those of you playing that. Now,
there's so many cricket games we're trying to wrap my head.
So there's the sin and One that's going on yep.
Then we've got the we're playing on Friday night, Yes,
Then there's obviously the Black Clash, and then there's the
Better Man.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So we're going to talk to todd est Or a
bit later about the Better Man and have great New Zealander.
Todd Estill retired eighteen months ago from All cricket. You
know New Zealand League spinner places for the black Caps
short form in tests. I believe he has got a
shift down there focusing on mental health, mainly men's mental health.
He's the Better Man charity foundation he runs and just
(11:07):
to give it a bit more profile and to get
the community along, we've agreed to play a T twenty
under lights at Hagley Oval on Sunday the December the
eighth down here in christ Hitch So we have we
have a chat to him about that. But you know,
we haven't got a great record under lights on an
international pitch after yeah we have actually, yeah, you're right,
we don't have a great record. Just put a full
(11:28):
stop on that.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Under the sun, under the moon, under anything. All right,
let's take a quick break and let's come back with
todd Estel. It's a great pleasure, honor and privilege to
welcome into the podcast for a Thursday morning todd Estel.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
Hi Jans, very well, you're looking very much forward to
with our chat today.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah, hey, listen bit of background, Todd. You retired from
Is It All Cricket last year?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
You have you Bend It All?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Eighteen months ago.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Yeah, I retired officially, but over the last six weeks
I've actually played a T ten competition in Tellas, Texas. Yeah,
and then in a New Zealand team to the Hong
Kong Sixers which got reinstated.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
So it's been a busy last of the six weeks.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Oh sweet come back.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's the speck of sorts a Sean Johnson retirement, that's it.
Speaker 9 (12:17):
Yeah, And you just love it when you come back
and you're playing something that you just has such a boyhood,
you know, enjoy the like Sean. So you can see
in the space right when you get another charts it's
that just really cool way of going out and expressing yourself.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Hey, before we get into it, because obviously we've got
a game to talk about down in christ Church where
several members of the ACC will once again disgrace an
international ground under lights like we did at Eden Park
a couple of years ago. But before we get to that,
do you want to give a bit of background Todd,
Because you've been a busy man since you've hung up
(12:52):
the Boots, I mean, and there's no doubt you were
involved in this kind of thing before you even hung
up the boots. But talk us through what you've been
up to with this Better Man initiative.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
Yeah, Well, since retiring, I've started up a charity with
my brother and another good mate, Jed Robinson, and it's
all about men's mental health and well being. And so
essentially we're taking the best parts of when you're in
a team, right, the fun, the games, the connection and
camaraderie and tying it in with our I guess background
and knowledge and positive psychology and well being and just.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Creating lots of these events and initiatives and courses.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
Which bring people together and then you can layer in
some of those deeper, more meaningful sort of mental health concepts.
So that's what, yeah, we've loved doing in the last
eighteen months or so.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Do you are you specialize in sports people? Is it
all people?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
How?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I mean? Is it or is it around just sports occasions?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
No, it's all people.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
And look, this cricket game we've got coming up is
just a way of I guess, showcasing my networks and
tying in with November, and it's just going to be
a really cool celebration of that.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
But for us, it's all people.
Speaker 9 (14:00):
I mean, my background since retiring as well has been
the mental skills coach, so working with yeah, sports teams,
but also corporates people of all background. Better Man is
about the community rights, about helping all men, but in
particular women as well have been the ones that have
really got behind it because they want better men.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
And that's where we're.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Trying to use our our profile and our backgrounds and
our skill sets to help people from all walks of life.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah. Nice.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
As a mental skills coach, could you give me any
advice about developing the yips on the golf course? How
do I get out of my own heads? And I'm
that driver?
Speaker 9 (14:38):
Well that's I've got actually a charity golf day today
at Pigger System, so I'm probably thinking the same thing
around hutting.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
So if anything, it's just about you know the next shot, right.
Speaker 9 (14:49):
You're only as good as your next shot, So that's
that's all I would say, is will your toes take
a breath and then you go for it?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's interesting your toasting is that that's not just a
balance thing. That's like a I've seen athletes do things
like this where they will either like tap their foot
behind them or Damian McKenzie smiles, or like a weird
little thing like that.
Speaker 10 (15:08):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
What does that do?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's obviously a thing, right, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
It's all about bringing you back to the present moment.
So if you will with your toes now right, you're
kind of where your feet are. And it's just that
real way of being present because so often we're testrifizing,
thinking of worst case scenarios, what might happen, what has happened,
and it is essentially about managing all those distractions and
just coming back to being in the prison.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah, well, I love that advice. You're on as good
as your next shot. You're going to be waiting a while,
and I for what the next shot? Did you see
the Caitlin Clark t off on that celebrity golf tournament.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That is my worst nightmare.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
And now I'm never gonna not that I've ever been invited,
but I am invited with a crowd who are in
front of my drive, I'm out.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
If you're standing off John as well, John Keyespin, someone
of them.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah he did it, Yeah, he did it. In that
in the Chasing the Fox last year, I think.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
There's that great footage from the woman back in like
the eighties or something. She hit the about four shots
straight into the same woman standing in the crowd. She's
yelling maker stuff. A bit bit of that.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
So to let's get back to this cricket match because
on December the eighth Sunday, a good gentleman's hours. You've
assembled a better Man eleven and you are going to
play a November kind of acc eleven invitation eleven at
Hagley Oval under lights. Like I said, we haven't got
a proud record under lights at international venues after being
(16:38):
humiliated by the November team there a few years.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Ago scored one sixty to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Yeah we got we got rolled so early they let
us back again and then the wind's got a huge
astress because we choked them out for one forty but
Danly lost four wickets, So yeah, there is a bit
of astress on that. Anyway, you've managed to assemble quite
a motley cruise. I mean, the Black Clash is there
in January summer calling this the Slack Clash, the better
(17:05):
Man versus Mo. You've got people like Joey Wheeler, You've
got Marty Banks, James Marshall, Will Hall, Colin Slay, Hurley's
going to roll the arm over Aaron Major obviously yourself.
What's the story with the actual game? Is everyone welcome
to come along?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Yeah? Look, it's free entry to the game.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
It's five o'clock first ball and there's also hospital corporate
packages in the Headley Pavilion if.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
You want to be a part of that as well.
Speaker 9 (17:31):
And so for us, it's just going to be a
really awesome opportunity for people to come along and experience Hagley.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
It's a chance for redemption there.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
Gulane Peoples under lights, it's on the New Zealand versus
England Test wicket as well. So to be able to
do that and have that experience so many is going
to be one of those things that you're mentioned to
the grandkids for many years to come.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Enough, I've made selection yet, but me off the back
of a Test match worker with my stock wrong and
it'll be turning square lanes. Well yeah, I'd like to
make myself eligible for there is.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I haven't told you this man, I but this Friday
night we've got a T twenty match is against because
November are playing sid And Cricket Club at the moment
on a five day Test match, which is I've got
the overs on six and a half groins being torn
by these middle age But on Friday night we're headed
to Hamilton on Friday night for a quick tea twenty
against a it seems like a Hamilton B Gray B
(18:25):
celebrity eleven. O. SI fe it's playing tim sif it's
playing Morgan. Oh yeah, not Morgan, SI, I'd prefer if
Morgan was playing. So yeah, I think we're playing on
a grass wicket there and I've already talked up your wrongins.
So this is almost a trial of sorts this Friday
night in Hamilton and Hamilton against this star studded Hamilton
(18:48):
celebrity eleven.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I need to get a knit in there because I've
never knit either, so I haven't bold and anger and
over a year.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I think it's best if you don't. And this current
state yeah just going Cole.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
And look, I mean off spot for a leg spinner.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
So you look more than happy to have you on
on the better Man team or November eleven, So it
would be great to have another leg spinner, yeah, mixed.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, the dirty secret about me, Todd is I'm actually
I can't bowl leg spin. I can only bowl a
wrong and I have talked to Gary Stead about it.
He gave me a couple of drills to go by
and practice. He's uncoachable, Todd. He's uncoachable.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I've seen the footage he had Gary Stead down on
his knees in the foyer of TV and Z during
the launch of the cricket season.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Sorry, I should probably put that in context.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
He was he was trying to teach him how to
bowl a leg spinner as opposed to just bowling wrong ins.
But like I said, uncoachable.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It's a risk position issue, as I'm sure you're aware, Todd.
But it is a vicious wrong and it's a shotgun
though I can't I can't control.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Cool. Well. So that's the details on that.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
If you're anywhere near christ Church Sunday, the eighth December,
Hagley Oval, first ball at five pm, you can bring
a chili.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Bring bring a picnic and just park up on the bank.
I take it, Todd. Enjoy the day.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
There's going to be some great cricket and some really
average cricket being played. Mainly from the likes of myself
and Ben Hurley, but Karen Reid said he's going to
use it as a bit of a net for his
Black Clash match in January, and be good to see
the likes of Joe Wheeler.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Bender's back. Who's teams here on?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Here?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Is he on our team? Joe Wheeler y.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Yes, good, Yeah, there's a lot of names there.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
It's just going to be a really special occasion to
bring everyone together to kind of showcase, like you say,
a little bit of creating ability, but more a chance
for people to come along and enjoy Hagling Oval experience,
you know, on the bank, bring a picnic and it
will be that charity match. So you can't get at
first ball. I think that's important. It'll be seeing flavor.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
It starts to have a bowl and we'll make it that.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
Yeah again, it might be like if you lose twelve
to fifteen wickets, that's okay, we'll make it twenty overs
in the matter what each innings.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
It sounds like my kind of game.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Well, we need that very good.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
So all the details better man dot org dot in
zid go check that out.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
You're doing great things. So i'd keep it up. You're
doing the Lord's work.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Good luck out in the golf course today, make sure
you strike that first drive.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Yeah, thanks guys, I appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
Nice to connect then, and yeah, we look forward to
having you involved for the game and thank you for
what you're doing as well.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
We are selling our nineteen ninety eight Ford falcon Ute
exclusively on auto Trader, with all proceeds going to November
in z and you can bid on the bad Boy now.
It is up over twelve grand now lane.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
It was the talk of the town yesterday in Hamilton.
If you drive it down there, No I didn't, but
there was talk about the how much it's going to
go for and you know, should I get on there
now or later?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And I was like, get on there now. It's stalled
at twelve and a half.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
Well.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
The problem with these auctions, I find it from my
trade me experience, is that it just shoots. It shoots
up at the end there, okay, and so but yeah,
if you want to check out the listing on auto Trader,
you can text ute to three two three six for
a direct link to the listing. And while you're they're
telling you Zealand about your car for free on Auto
Trader five thousand dollars worth of free stuff and their
(22:16):
vouchers and a phone, a beer fridge, a job site radio.
So basically the first five grand you spend is free,
and then from then you're bedding.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
One of the guys yesterday said I might get it
just to drive it around the farm and bring the
bring the stock in. I was like, I don't think
those high profile tires are going to.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Work on the far. I think it's more of a
street ute rather than a farm mute.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, it's not. It is not a farm mute. The
back wheels will spin, you'll be stuck.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I didn't put them off.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I said ship, yeah, absolutely, Man, twenty grand, where are
you going to get a work oute for that? So yeah,
he should text you to three two three six. All right,
let us get to yours please.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
Yours please, rod By Leader, I mean, if we got
to get through today, fight first, call it yours please.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Good o.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
Fellas here just on the not knowing who someone famous
was chat My wife was like, oh, there's such a
cute dog, and was petting the dog and chatting to
this guy about his dog, and we walked off and
I was like, do you know who that was?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Baby?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
And she's like nah, And I'm like, there's Damien McKenzie's
a fucking all black. But I guess he liked that because,
you know, he wasn't just getting absolutely punished, he was
just getting chat about his dog.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I think we've all kind of been there were mistaken
just actually I can't.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I was trying to remember if I've done it.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Well, you were talking about the Sean, talking about Seawan
Johnson talking to the Cold Play guys.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I think of Damian McKenzie's quite distinctive looking. Yeah, yes,
you know what I mean, Like, he's not a He's
not a Ben Smith, not God, you see, thousands have
been Smiths every day.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, I guess the thing with him is he he
also doesn't look like Luke Jacobson. You know, right, you
could be forgiven for thinking he you know, you wouldn't
know straight away that he was a professional athlete.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yes, the summer Penny Fee now walks in the room.
You go, guy's huge.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Just here a footy player.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah you know, yeah, I see what you mean.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, Roger toy busus ship walks in. You take one
look at his cards. You, I reckon he plays rugby,
and you'd be right. But yeah, no, that is a
good point. I spent a night on the purse with
a guy from Nesian Mystic the No he was in
a Ni Mystic first concert I ever went to. My
mum drove me up from way to christ Chips to
go and watch n Mystic and I told him that
(24:41):
through yelled at into his ear or spinning all over
him blind drunk on a rooftop bar and Dubai. Uh yeah,
it's it must happen more than you'd think, just having
a chin wag with someone and then finding out that
they're really famous, and I reckon that love it. I'm
not a caller here yours please?
Speaker 9 (24:59):
Yeah, get a boys, I may have a solution to
your camel problem.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
Oh yeah, I know a guy that has the one
from Sylvia Park, from the golf course there.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
There are mini golf course around the world one Julane.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
I can also squeeze you in your outboard service if
you wish much love.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
That's that's a double where mere camel and a service
for my six horse power.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I've googled the Sylvia Park camel. I can't find a
picture of it.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I know, I know what he means. Yeah, it's the
kind of a fiberglass camel. Yes, yeah, that would be good,
but just need some.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Sort of prop.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, And I looked up the inflatable ones and sure enough,
yesterday I heard the yules, please around, get onto Eli
Eli Express and just get a bunch. They were like
one of them were forty bucks and there. Okay, they're
the inflatable put your legs in there, inflate up one
of the fourteen dollars each.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
But it didn't. I really got her camel.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
No, it looked like it could have been a horse,
that could have been a cat. It was just a
ten colored inflatable thing.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
If the person who's sent that and could get a
photo of the Silvere Park camel send it in. It
just has to look like a camel, which I'm sure
it does, but I'd like to see it.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Is it sexy because it needs to be sexy.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Is it's sixy What could we do to make it sexy?
They do have a World's sixty at camel competition every year.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
They do, and the prize money is insane eye watering.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
It is eyewatering.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I've been in WW when they had the camel Beauty contest,
that's what.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
They call it.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I know that's just and that the first price is something.
This is not exaggerating. It's like ten million US because
they try and encourage, you know, the better ways, the
better and old ways of breeding camels and stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
So if they make it incentive enough.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
They also have a date arranging competition where you arrange
dates in a different platter and a different type.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Oh right, the fruit. Yeah, not a date arrangement and
you date the camel.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
So dates, date delicious and dates. They have data ranging.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
And and camel beauty contest. But yeah, look, if we
could get that, put it on casters and just lead
that around Sedon Park.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
We're going a couple of weeks, yeah, but we need
to get onto it.
Speaker 12 (27:14):
Shut.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
We send us in a photo of that camel if
you could now they call it mules.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
Please afternoon, gents. I can actually get you a camel.
I've got very strong links to the Ethiopian community through
my partner and my father and lawa. I spoke to
him about it, and we'll get you a whole camel.
It will have no head, no hooves, be skinned and
probably broken down. But give us a three week lead time,
we get you one all the way from Australia. So yeah,
(27:40):
give us a belt and we'll get that sorted.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Okay, Well, it kind of needs to look like a camel.
It can't be bits of a camel.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It's gonna be a hard sell. It's just so Smithy
explain to us.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Why they're walking around with the carcass, the dismembered carcass
of what looks to be a horse.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
They've got a camel on a spit camel meats.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Have you tried camel meat when? No, not the greatest yet.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
They slow cook it for like two days and it's
a dark kind of fatty.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, it's not good.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I look at I look at a camel and think
that's not good.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
But it needs needs mass when you're traveling across the desert.
It's basically a walking pantry. I well, look, I think, hmm.
It can't be the only thing we do.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
But if we get hold of the Sylvia Park camel
and then also serve up camel, we've got our mates
that ran the taco shop at the Black cloub That's true.
When you won the meat raffle at the Mount Club
and we didn't know what to do with it, so
we took it to a taco shop and they cooked
it up for us. Maybe we could get them. Look, hey,
thanks very much for helping us out last year. How
(28:55):
do you feel about a rotisary camel?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Is that doable?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I could do it. Nothing seemed like a problem for now.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
He was.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
He was great. So maybe we just get the heat.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Oh yeah, sixty is part off the camera space?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Not call here your space?
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (29:14):
Good?
Speaker 12 (29:14):
Every time when I start your podcast and I hear
the old what a better way to start your day
than a cannon?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Ex? Well, I just I'm just picturing what a better
way to.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Start your day of the cannon?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Well you can open whatever can you want? My friend?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
And if it's a cannon, whire pears, it's a cannon
whi pears powerful.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Two more to game?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah you get.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
And I while we're talking about forgetting about our personal
lives and then dowling into our personal lives. Was your
partner in crime involved in the elephant transportation the other week?
Speaker 5 (29:57):
I was involved lifting it out, not me? First leave
someone I know? Yeah it was cool. Now we got
no more elephants?
Speaker 12 (30:05):
What's ha in there give us the personal scoop on that.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
We need more elephants. Look named someone an elephant.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Good, finish a lot there.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Now she had nothing to do with that. She didn't
work with the elephant.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
So we now got no elephants and no camels.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
No, no camels, but we can import camel meat and
there is a five O class one somewhere and work.
Speaker 12 (30:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I think the thing with that elephant is they the
way they work is they need to breed every so often.
There was no breeding male here.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I think.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Also they need to be in a herd, yeah, because
they get they get lonely back. Yeah, imagine it just
being no matter how cool the zoo is a cool zoo,
but if you're on your own, yeah, need an other
big nose to hang out with.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, so she's gone to join snuffleff I guess over
there in Australia.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah, he's got a herd to join.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
It'd be funny when it all you got to do
is hang out with these kind of heirless monkeys that
keep feeding you and washing you.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah, they're like these guys. Yeah. Yeah, So now she
had nothing to do with that. One more call of
your space.
Speaker 12 (31:04):
Yeah, gooda every time when I start your podcast, so
I hear the old What a better way to start
your day?
Speaker 1 (31:14):
Alright, already here there one right, let's not this thing
on the head. We will be back tomorrow for another
episode of the gender podcast.
Speaker 2 (31:20):
You've been listening to. The ACC's a gender podcast brought
to you by Export Ultra. For more episodes, like and
follow on iHeartRadio form you get your podcasts
Live for the Export Biergadin Studio and brought to is
always by Export Ultra, which is to be for here.
This is the Agenda Podcast for Thursday, the twenty month
of November.
Speaker 2 (00:09):
The Agenda Podcast the home of Sporting Nonsense and clap trap,
brought to you by Export of Culture.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
And it's good to see Giliane this morning that you
were abiding by the gang patch band.
Speaker 3 (00:21):
Oh yes, I was. I was thinking the exact same
thing each year.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
I was coming in this morning and the dude that
got arrested at three past midnight, and I was thinking, fuck,
I'm going to have to put my common Tero's jacket away.
Speaker 3 (00:32):
Yes, because are we going to get arrested for the
Common Teros?
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I think there's worse fates for what we're doing with
the commentarios. Yeah, so we were. We I drafted up
a a sec gang patch yep, figured that you know,
we are a gang of commentators. Yeah, we should rebrand
as the common Teros now. I want to establish this
is not taking the piss out of any particular gang.
(00:55):
And if anything, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Speaker 5 (00:58):
It is.
Speaker 1 (01:00):
It's just that we wanted to dip our toes into this.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
Yeah, you know, and I'll be honest with you.
Speaker 4 (01:05):
They look good in the leathers, the leather, the vest
look with the cutoff sleeves.
Speaker 3 (01:10):
It's a sack lot bad ass. So that's that's all.
Speaker 4 (01:13):
But obviously the first stumbling block we had in forming
the common Tears. And we've got the gang, we've got
the artwork. Yeah, but no one would do the embroidery for.
Speaker 1 (01:23):
Us, you know what. I was just talking to Pantsman
about it before. Very hard to find someone to embroider
into leather. He was wanted to put it on the blazers.
Speaker 4 (01:33):
Yeah, but embroid it's quite it's a very light kind
of linen our jacket. Yeah, and putting that much stitching
on the jacket will completely deform it.
Speaker 5 (01:41):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:41):
You might need the leather, actually, yeah, to keep its integrity.
That's why they have the leather, you see. But yeah,
you raise a good point about the the guy that
got arrested three minutes past. They had to make an
example of someone. It was always going to happen.
Speaker 3 (01:53):
But I love that.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
I've got the image in my head of two dudes,
a policeman and a man in a gang patch, just
standing there at eleven fifty nine pm, like the wild
is waiting for the sound clock to ring.
Speaker 3 (02:07):
All the small talk to.
Speaker 6 (02:10):
You go.
Speaker 3 (02:11):
Where do you Yeah? Do you have anything good for dinner?
What are you up to this weekend? Just like waiting
for it.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
I was also thinking this morning about imagine being like
the only cop and a small gang down, and you
wake up this morning and all of a sudden, every
single person you've seen in a gang patch has to
be a confrontation.
Speaker 3 (02:31):
Yeah, yeah, you're in like a porta key.
Speaker 1 (02:36):
Yeah, Like there would just be like god, what really?
Speaker 7 (02:41):
Really?
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Okay, okay, every single one?
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Yeah, Mudipata.
Speaker 8 (02:45):
You're in Mudipata is how are you going to negotiate that? Guys,
we just don't take any photos or anything. That'd be
my that'd be my approach community. At least thing would
be like, guys, this is one of me. There's about
there's about fifty of you years.
Speaker 3 (02:59):
You're to the teeth. Can we just come to it.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
You can wear your patches and shit around like I
don't care, but just don't put anything on social media.
Don't let everyone kind of don't just no evidence. Yeah,
otherwise I'm going to have to pretend like I care well, otherwise.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
What's going to happen is they're going to send cops
down from Auckland, and that's going to be a whole thing.
I don't want that. You don't want that, and so
let's just leave it. And I think that's applicable to
all walks of life. Whatever you're doing, If you know
you're doing something that you probably shouldn't be doing, just
don't rub whoever has to enforce it. Don't rub their
nose in it.
Speaker 4 (03:26):
Yeah, because don't make them have to go, oh god,
I'm going to have to call the riot squad.
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I would say that most of most bosses and supervisors
don't mind you having the idea on a Friday afternoon
or a Tuesday or a Tuesday, as long as you
getting the job done. As long as you're getting the
job done. What they don't want is for other people
to find out you're having a beer, well you're doing that,
or not turning out for work up front up of it. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
Absolutely, don't tune up because you go to a bed
sick and you were out in until two in the morning.
Speaker 1 (03:51):
Yeah, I mean, that's another one of my business theories. Yes,
always do you hangovers on the clock. Yeah, I'm thinking
about writing a business book.
Speaker 4 (04:00):
Yeah, I think your other one is always shut on
the clock as well.
Speaker 1 (04:03):
Is that your not on shooting? That's that's Joe Jerry's.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
No.
Speaker 1 (04:07):
Mine is piss up, show up, pass up, front up
first of all, and then always do you hangovers on
the clock. Never take a sick day. Don't waste a
sick day on being being hungover, because if you get
a physical job, you'll sweat it out by smoker. If
you've got an office job, just have an extra coffee
and shut up.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
I thought you was actually in general, never take a
sick day.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Just oh no, take a sick day if you crook thinking.
Speaker 4 (04:30):
That's quite aggressive, because sick day should be days when
you go out and play golf.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
No, no, no, I hate when someone comes in and
there on death's door and you're like, just get out
of your coffin, all over me coffin and splutter and
grubby bust. Anyway, So yeah, the the Gang Patch band
is in full offiction.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
We should do.
Speaker 4 (04:49):
We have to let Sky know because we got them
a whole lot of well you divined, devised the mighty
missionary mob Gang Patch as well. So I'm going to
have to let them know, just to maybe pump the
brakes on just where that in public.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Yeah, yeah, we were the common arrosts and we were
up against the mighty Mission Rooy mob. I'm glad none
of that ever saw the light of day.
Speaker 3 (05:12):
I'm still holding out hope, I still kind of want to.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
I can see what's going to happen here is you're
going to get them made in the first bit of backlash. Look,
and I made them.
Speaker 4 (05:21):
I would never innoy you like that. That is a
classic n Or maneuver. I you don't want to know
an en Or maneuver that was. That's an Enoll.
Speaker 1 (05:32):
Courtney, not Brandon nor would never do that, No, I know.
But the thing is that their family gets mentioned on
this podcast far too often, and I get hit up
about it. Yeah, I'm shut up to big shoe bigs.
Speaker 3 (05:41):
Chewey hey.
Speaker 4 (05:43):
I did a roady yesterday. I went to Hamilton to
kick off because every year, I mean, these guys are crazy,
but it's it's the Sededon Cricket Club who are total
cricket houndis and this is the pink Blazer that you'll
see them in the test matches in Hamilton. You've got
a big marquee and they're all in their pink and
light pink stripey blazers. You know, basically mainly men forty
(06:05):
plus a couple of youngsters in there just to whip
it down and do the running.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
But they instigated the kind of Kindred Cup, which is a.
Speaker 4 (06:14):
Competition around the country played by kind of private, privately
owned kind of grounds and older gentlemen generally who just
want to escape their families, get on the piss for
a weekend and they get together and play cricket. So
they play a five day Test match. Will they attempt
to play a five day Test match? They schedule for
five days against the November eleven. Yeah, and it was
(06:34):
up and funk it a up at Commmobile last year
and I think it went just got to three days
last year.
Speaker 1 (06:40):
And because of that's just how long the game went.
Speaker 4 (06:44):
Or Andrew Nada, the GW along the game with because
I mean, test cricket your five days, it's a lot
of it's a lot of balls. And when you're people,
you know, I would we were there for the first
ten overs they really lost two wickets, so it's kind
of it'll be over before the weekend. I imagine, but
God bless them, they're all there, they're all set up
ready for five days of cricket.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
It's so ambitious because we played in the Juloux trade.
He's eleven and the amount of hamstrings were torn totally.
Speaker 4 (07:12):
There's a there's a bucket of deep heat down in
the changing rooms that I went down there.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
From our team alone, Lead Baker tore every tendon in
his legs.
Speaker 3 (07:21):
The big thing is these said the guys.
Speaker 4 (07:23):
They might be older orthough I say older pro same
ages as me, but they still play quite regularly, so
they've broken it. That's the key. And then the November
team is a mish mash you know around. He's in there,
Robert Darnel who heads up, He's in there. And they
do raise a lot of money from this game as well,
so they have a competition within each team who can
raise the most amount of money. They've all got great
(07:45):
lip two pays everyone. Every single one of them is
rolling a great, great mo so that was good. When
our new it was passing with rain, but they did
manage to get under it. The greatest drainage. They're at
Saint Paul's, my old school. Some terrible photos of me
in the pavilion, which Joe Jury took delight and taking
photos of them and milking me.
Speaker 3 (08:06):
But great drainage.
Speaker 4 (08:07):
They managed to get a start about two o'clock in
the afternoon. So things are well and truly underway down there,
and we headed down there tomorrow night, Friday night for
an exhibition T twenty match down there. So once day
three is over of that match, we're going to roll
out there and play a Hamilton invitation or eleven?
Speaker 1 (08:25):
Who they got? Do we know? What are we up against?
Speaker 3 (08:28):
Tim si Fit's one of them.
Speaker 4 (08:31):
He's a couple of other kind of first class cricketers
are They're kind of assembled a bit of an all stars,
which is a bit disappointing because then I said who
you got and I see it's me my nia, but
made some contexts. Riley McCullum is going to play for us.
Speaker 3 (08:44):
Oh so there you go, star of the Black class. Yeah.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
So that's that's the kind of one name that we're
rolling out just to try and intimidate them.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Three of us. Yeah. So we've got a bowler, a
working in one fielder.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
That's our Simon Grafius. He's a ill graft away. He's
hoping the best. Yeah, we have got a full eleven.
But it's going to be an interesting interesting Yeah, we
got Look, let's just say we're going to be relying
on the ringings.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
There's nine ringings and me and you.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
I heard we've got I heard Lucky Ferguson's using this
as a warm up for us, and he's playing for us.
So I heard, did you.
Speaker 3 (09:19):
I sent it out to him, but he didn't confume.
Speaker 6 (09:21):
No.
Speaker 1 (09:21):
I just love the last couple of times we've played
some of these games, we've talked shit on to the
microphone about having random people on our team, and the
other teams have shit their pants.
Speaker 3 (09:31):
You remember they there was a rumor in the DEWLX
trades and the weird Neil Wagner.
Speaker 4 (09:34):
Yes, yes, that's what it was, and they were fucking
shitting themselves. They were like, and we didn't even start
that they started that rumor.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Nah. Well, we pulled up to that thing the night before.
I'd had a couple of beers and I was just
walking through into the bathroom. I didn't even know we
were actually at the event already. Yeah, but we're at
the Jewls Tradings eleven and as I was walking through,
people were like, hey, do you actually have Neil Wagner
and your team? I was like, what how do you
know about this? How do you even know about the
cricket game? This is the So yeah, anyway, Shane Bond
(10:04):
is coming down to play yep for us as well as.
Speaker 3 (10:07):
Yeah, we've managed to get him, Yeah, managed to get
him down.
Speaker 4 (10:10):
Tim Saudi apparently looking he just lives out in Cambridge's
over and roll the arm over.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah that's right, he said. He's having a bit of
trouble the short short ball at the moment, so he
wants to come down and work that one out.
Speaker 4 (10:19):
Yeah, given one under the arm pit because he knows
that Ben Stokes hates it under there.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
So that's right. Yeah, so you're be coming around the
workout to pinning it right into your fucking lymph nodes.
So yeah, good luck to those of you playing that. Now,
there's so many cricket games we're trying to wrap my head.
So there's the sin and One that's going on yep.
Then we've got the we're playing on Friday night, Yes,
Then there's obviously the Black Clash, and then there's the
Better Man.
Speaker 3 (10:43):
Yes.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
So we're going to talk to todd est Or a
bit later about the Better Man and have great New Zealander.
Todd Estill retired eighteen months ago from All cricket. You
know New Zealand League spinner places for the black Caps
short form in tests. I believe he has got a
shift down there focusing on mental health, mainly men's mental health.
He's the Better Man charity foundation he runs and just
(11:07):
to give it a bit more profile and to get
the community along, we've agreed to play a T twenty
under lights at Hagley Oval on Sunday the December the
eighth down here in christ Hitch So we have we
have a chat to him about that. But you know,
we haven't got a great record under lights on an
international pitch after yeah we have actually, yeah, you're right,
we don't have a great record. Just put a full
(11:28):
stop on that.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
Under the sun, under the moon, under anything. All right,
let's take a quick break and let's come back with
todd Estel. It's a great pleasure, honor and privilege to
welcome into the podcast for a Thursday morning todd Estel.
Speaker 9 (11:43):
Hi Jans, very well, you're looking very much forward to
with our chat today.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Yeah, hey, listen bit of background, Todd. You retired from
Is It All Cricket last year?
Speaker 3 (11:54):
You have you Bend It All?
Speaker 5 (11:57):
Eighteen months ago.
Speaker 9 (11:58):
Yeah, I retired officially, but over the last six weeks
I've actually played a T ten competition in Tellas, Texas. Yeah,
and then in a New Zealand team to the Hong
Kong Sixers which got reinstated.
Speaker 5 (12:09):
So it's been a busy last of the six weeks.
Speaker 3 (12:12):
Oh sweet come back.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
It's the speck of sorts a Sean Johnson retirement, that's it.
Speaker 9 (12:17):
Yeah, And you just love it when you come back
and you're playing something that you just has such a boyhood,
you know, enjoy the like Sean. So you can see
in the space right when you get another charts it's
that just really cool way of going out and expressing yourself.
Speaker 4 (12:31):
Hey, before we get into it, because obviously we've got
a game to talk about down in christ Church where
several members of the ACC will once again disgrace an
international ground under lights like we did at Eden Park
a couple of years ago. But before we get to that,
do you want to give a bit of background Todd,
Because you've been a busy man since you've hung up
(12:52):
the Boots, I mean, and there's no doubt you were
involved in this kind of thing before you even hung
up the boots. But talk us through what you've been
up to with this Better Man initiative.
Speaker 9 (13:05):
Yeah, Well, since retiring, I've started up a charity with
my brother and another good mate, Jed Robinson, and it's
all about men's mental health and well being. And so
essentially we're taking the best parts of when you're in
a team, right, the fun, the games, the connection and
camaraderie and tying it in with our I guess background
and knowledge and positive psychology and well being and just.
Speaker 5 (13:24):
Creating lots of these events and initiatives and courses.
Speaker 9 (13:27):
Which bring people together and then you can layer in
some of those deeper, more meaningful sort of mental health concepts.
So that's what, yeah, we've loved doing in the last
eighteen months or so.
Speaker 4 (13:37):
Do you are you specialize in sports people? Is it
all people?
Speaker 6 (13:41):
How?
Speaker 3 (13:42):
I mean? Is it or is it around just sports occasions?
Speaker 5 (13:46):
No, it's all people.
Speaker 9 (13:47):
And look, this cricket game we've got coming up is
just a way of I guess, showcasing my networks and
tying in with November, and it's just going to be
a really cool celebration of that.
Speaker 5 (13:58):
But for us, it's all people.
Speaker 9 (14:00):
I mean, my background since retiring as well has been
the mental skills coach, so working with yeah, sports teams,
but also corporates people of all background. Better Man is
about the community rights, about helping all men, but in
particular women as well have been the ones that have
really got behind it because they want better men.
Speaker 5 (14:18):
And that's where we're.
Speaker 9 (14:19):
Trying to use our our profile and our backgrounds and
our skill sets to help people from all walks of life.
Speaker 3 (14:27):
Yeah. Nice.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
As a mental skills coach, could you give me any
advice about developing the yips on the golf course? How
do I get out of my own heads? And I'm
that driver?
Speaker 9 (14:38):
Well that's I've got actually a charity golf day today
at Pigger System, so I'm probably thinking the same thing
around hutting.
Speaker 5 (14:45):
So if anything, it's just about you know the next shot, right.
Speaker 9 (14:49):
You're only as good as your next shot, So that's
that's all I would say, is will your toes take
a breath and then you go for it?
Speaker 1 (14:56):
That's interesting your toasting is that that's not just a
balance thing. That's like a I've seen athletes do things
like this where they will either like tap their foot
behind them or Damian McKenzie smiles, or like a weird
little thing like that.
Speaker 10 (15:08):
Is that?
Speaker 3 (15:09):
What does that do?
Speaker 1 (15:10):
It's obviously a thing, right, Yeah.
Speaker 9 (15:12):
It's all about bringing you back to the present moment.
So if you will with your toes now right, you're
kind of where your feet are. And it's just that
real way of being present because so often we're testrifizing,
thinking of worst case scenarios, what might happen, what has happened,
and it is essentially about managing all those distractions and
just coming back to being in the prison.
Speaker 4 (15:32):
Yeah, well, I love that advice. You're on as good
as your next shot. You're going to be waiting a while,
and I for what the next shot? Did you see
the Caitlin Clark t off on that celebrity golf tournament.
Speaker 3 (15:45):
That is my worst nightmare.
Speaker 4 (15:46):
And now I'm never gonna not that I've ever been invited,
but I am invited with a crowd who are in
front of my drive, I'm out.
Speaker 3 (15:55):
I'm not doing that.
Speaker 5 (15:56):
If you're standing off John as well, John Keyespin, someone
of them.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Yeah he did it, Yeah, he did it. In that
in the Chasing the Fox last year, I think.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
There's that great footage from the woman back in like
the eighties or something. She hit the about four shots
straight into the same woman standing in the crowd. She's
yelling maker stuff. A bit bit of that.
Speaker 4 (16:18):
So to let's get back to this cricket match because
on December the eighth Sunday, a good gentleman's hours. You've
assembled a better Man eleven and you are going to
play a November kind of acc eleven invitation eleven at
Hagley Oval under lights. Like I said, we haven't got
a proud record under lights at international venues after being
(16:38):
humiliated by the November team there a few years.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
Ago scored one sixty to fifteen.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Yeah we got we got rolled so early they let
us back again and then the wind's got a huge
astress because we choked them out for one forty but
Danly lost four wickets, So yeah, there is a bit
of astress on that. Anyway, you've managed to assemble quite
a motley cruise. I mean, the Black Clash is there
in January summer calling this the Slack Clash, the better
(17:05):
Man versus Mo. You've got people like Joey Wheeler, You've
got Marty Banks, James Marshall, Will Hall, Colin Slay, Hurley's
going to roll the arm over Aaron Major obviously yourself.
What's the story with the actual game? Is everyone welcome
to come along?
Speaker 5 (17:23):
Yeah? Look, it's free entry to the game.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
It's five o'clock first ball and there's also hospital corporate
packages in the Headley Pavilion if.
Speaker 5 (17:29):
You want to be a part of that as well.
Speaker 9 (17:31):
And so for us, it's just going to be a
really awesome opportunity for people to come along and experience Hagley.
Speaker 5 (17:37):
It's a chance for redemption there.
Speaker 9 (17:39):
Gulane Peoples under lights, it's on the New Zealand versus
England Test wicket as well. So to be able to
do that and have that experience so many is going
to be one of those things that you're mentioned to
the grandkids for many years to come.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
Enough, I've made selection yet, but me off the back
of a Test match worker with my stock wrong and
it'll be turning square lanes. Well yeah, I'd like to
make myself eligible for there is.
Speaker 4 (18:03):
I haven't told you this man, I but this Friday
night we've got a T twenty match is against because
November are playing sid And Cricket Club at the moment
on a five day Test match, which is I've got
the overs on six and a half groins being torn
by these middle age But on Friday night we're headed
to Hamilton on Friday night for a quick tea twenty
against a it seems like a Hamilton B Gray B
(18:25):
celebrity eleven. O. SI fe it's playing tim sif it's
playing Morgan. Oh yeah, not Morgan, SI, I'd prefer if
Morgan was playing. So yeah, I think we're playing on
a grass wicket there and I've already talked up your wrongins.
So this is almost a trial of sorts this Friday
night in Hamilton and Hamilton against this star studded Hamilton
(18:48):
celebrity eleven.
Speaker 1 (18:49):
I need to get a knit in there because I've
never knit either, so I haven't bold and anger and
over a year.
Speaker 4 (18:53):
I think it's best if you don't. And this current
state yeah just going Cole.
Speaker 5 (18:59):
And look, I mean off spot for a leg spinner.
Speaker 9 (19:02):
So you look more than happy to have you on
on the better Man team or November eleven, So it
would be great to have another leg spinner, yeah, mixed.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
Well, the dirty secret about me, Todd is I'm actually
I can't bowl leg spin. I can only bowl a
wrong and I have talked to Gary Stead about it.
He gave me a couple of drills to go by
and practice. He's uncoachable, Todd. He's uncoachable.
Speaker 4 (19:25):
I've seen the footage he had Gary Stead down on
his knees in the foyer of TV and Z during
the launch of the cricket season.
Speaker 5 (19:34):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (19:35):
Sorry, I should probably put that in context.
Speaker 4 (19:37):
He was he was trying to teach him how to
bowl a leg spinner as opposed to just bowling wrong ins.
But like I said, uncoachable.
Speaker 1 (19:44):
It's a risk position issue, as I'm sure you're aware, Todd.
But it is a vicious wrong and it's a shotgun
though I can't I can't control.
Speaker 3 (19:54):
Cool. Well. So that's the details on that.
Speaker 4 (19:57):
If you're anywhere near christ Church Sunday, the eighth December,
Hagley Oval, first ball at five pm, you can bring
a chili.
Speaker 3 (20:03):
Bring bring a picnic and just park up on the bank.
I take it, Todd. Enjoy the day.
Speaker 4 (20:09):
There's going to be some great cricket and some really
average cricket being played. Mainly from the likes of myself
and Ben Hurley, but Karen Reid said he's going to
use it as a bit of a net for his
Black Clash match in January, and be good to see
the likes of Joe Wheeler.
Speaker 3 (20:23):
Bender's back. Who's teams here on?
Speaker 6 (20:25):
Here?
Speaker 3 (20:25):
Is he on our team? Joe Wheeler y.
Speaker 5 (20:29):
Yes, good, Yeah, there's a lot of names there.
Speaker 9 (20:31):
It's just going to be a really special occasion to
bring everyone together to kind of showcase, like you say,
a little bit of creating ability, but more a chance
for people to come along and enjoy Hagling Oval experience,
you know, on the bank, bring a picnic and it
will be that charity match. So you can't get at
first ball. I think that's important. It'll be seeing flavor.
Speaker 5 (20:51):
It starts to have a bowl and we'll make it that.
Speaker 9 (20:54):
Yeah again, it might be like if you lose twelve
to fifteen wickets, that's okay, we'll make it twenty overs
in the matter what each innings.
Speaker 3 (21:01):
It sounds like my kind of game.
Speaker 1 (21:02):
Well, we need that very good.
Speaker 4 (21:05):
So all the details better man dot org dot in
zid go check that out.
Speaker 3 (21:09):
You're doing great things. So i'd keep it up. You're
doing the Lord's work.
Speaker 4 (21:13):
Good luck out in the golf course today, make sure
you strike that first drive.
Speaker 5 (21:18):
Yeah, thanks guys, I appreciate it.
Speaker 9 (21:20):
Nice to connect then, and yeah, we look forward to
having you involved for the game and thank you for
what you're doing as well.
Speaker 5 (21:25):
Appreciate it.
Speaker 1 (21:28):
We are selling our nineteen ninety eight Ford falcon Ute
exclusively on auto Trader, with all proceeds going to November
in z and you can bid on the bad Boy now.
It is up over twelve grand now lane.
Speaker 5 (21:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (21:39):
Nice.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
It was the talk of the town yesterday in Hamilton.
If you drive it down there, No I didn't, but
there was talk about the how much it's going to
go for and you know, should I get on there
now or later?
Speaker 3 (21:49):
And I was like, get on there now. It's stalled
at twelve and a half.
Speaker 10 (21:53):
Well.
Speaker 1 (21:53):
The problem with these auctions, I find it from my
trade me experience, is that it just shoots. It shoots
up at the end there, okay, and so but yeah,
if you want to check out the listing on auto Trader,
you can text ute to three two three six for
a direct link to the listing. And while you're they're
telling you Zealand about your car for free on Auto
Trader five thousand dollars worth of free stuff and their
(22:16):
vouchers and a phone, a beer fridge, a job site radio.
So basically the first five grand you spend is free,
and then from then you're bedding.
Speaker 4 (22:25):
One of the guys yesterday said I might get it
just to drive it around the farm and bring the
bring the stock in. I was like, I don't think
those high profile tires are going to.
Speaker 3 (22:33):
Work on the far. I think it's more of a
street ute rather than a farm mute.
Speaker 1 (22:39):
Yeah, it's not. It is not a farm mute. The
back wheels will spin, you'll be stuck.
Speaker 3 (22:44):
I didn't put them off.
Speaker 1 (22:45):
I said ship, yeah, absolutely, Man, twenty grand, where are
you going to get a work oute for that? So yeah,
he should text you to three two three six. All right,
let us get to yours please.
Speaker 7 (22:56):
Yours please, rod By Leader, I mean, if we got
to get through today, fight first, call it yours please.
Speaker 5 (23:07):
Good o.
Speaker 10 (23:07):
Fellas here just on the not knowing who someone famous
was chat My wife was like, oh, there's such a
cute dog, and was petting the dog and chatting to
this guy about his dog, and we walked off and
I was like, do you know who that was?
Speaker 5 (23:22):
Baby?
Speaker 6 (23:23):
And she's like nah, And I'm like, there's Damien McKenzie's
a fucking all black. But I guess he liked that because,
you know, he wasn't just getting absolutely punished, he was
just getting chat about his dog.
Speaker 4 (23:36):
I think we've all kind of been there were mistaken
just actually I can't.
Speaker 3 (23:40):
I was trying to remember if I've done it.
Speaker 1 (23:42):
Well, you were talking about the Sean, talking about Seawan
Johnson talking to the Cold Play guys.
Speaker 4 (23:50):
I think of Damian McKenzie's quite distinctive looking. Yeah, yes,
you know what I mean, Like, he's not a He's
not a Ben Smith, not God, you see, thousands have
been Smiths every day.
Speaker 1 (24:01):
Yeah, I guess the thing with him is he he
also doesn't look like Luke Jacobson. You know, right, you
could be forgiven for thinking he you know, you wouldn't
know straight away that he was a professional athlete.
Speaker 3 (24:12):
Yes, the summer Penny Fee now walks in the room.
You go, guy's huge.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
Just here a footy player.
Speaker 3 (24:16):
Yeah you know, yeah, I see what you mean.
Speaker 1 (24:18):
Yeah, Roger toy busus ship walks in. You take one
look at his cards. You, I reckon he plays rugby,
and you'd be right. But yeah, no, that is a
good point. I spent a night on the purse with
a guy from Nesian Mystic the No he was in
a Ni Mystic first concert I ever went to. My
mum drove me up from way to christ Chips to
go and watch n Mystic and I told him that
(24:41):
through yelled at into his ear or spinning all over
him blind drunk on a rooftop bar and Dubai. Uh yeah,
it's it must happen more than you'd think, just having
a chin wag with someone and then finding out that
they're really famous, and I reckon that love it. I'm
not a caller here yours please?
Speaker 9 (24:59):
Yeah, get a boys, I may have a solution to
your camel problem.
Speaker 11 (25:04):
Oh yeah, I know a guy that has the one
from Sylvia Park, from the golf course there.
Speaker 5 (25:10):
There are mini golf course around the world one Julane.
Speaker 9 (25:16):
I can also squeeze you in your outboard service if
you wish much love.
Speaker 4 (25:23):
That's that's a double where mere camel and a service
for my six horse power.
Speaker 1 (25:28):
I've googled the Sylvia Park camel. I can't find a
picture of it.
Speaker 4 (25:31):
I know, I know what he means. Yeah, it's the
kind of a fiberglass camel. Yes, yeah, that would be good,
but just need some.
Speaker 3 (25:37):
Sort of prop.
Speaker 4 (25:38):
Yeah, And I looked up the inflatable ones and sure enough,
yesterday I heard the yules, please around, get onto Eli
Eli Express and just get a bunch. They were like
one of them were forty bucks and there. Okay, they're
the inflatable put your legs in there, inflate up one
of the fourteen dollars each.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
But it didn't. I really got her camel.
Speaker 4 (25:58):
No, it looked like it could have been a horse,
that could have been a cat. It was just a
ten colored inflatable thing.
Speaker 1 (26:04):
If the person who's sent that and could get a
photo of the Silvere Park camel send it in. It
just has to look like a camel, which I'm sure
it does, but I'd like to see it.
Speaker 3 (26:12):
Is it sexy because it needs to be sexy.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
Is it's sixy What could we do to make it sexy?
They do have a World's sixty at camel competition every year.
Speaker 4 (26:19):
They do, and the prize money is insane eye watering.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
It is eyewatering.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I've been in WW when they had the camel Beauty contest,
that's what.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
They call it.
Speaker 4 (26:28):
I know that's just and that the first price is something.
This is not exaggerating. It's like ten million US because
they try and encourage, you know, the better ways, the
better and old ways of breeding camels and stuff.
Speaker 3 (26:40):
So if they make it incentive enough.
Speaker 4 (26:42):
They also have a date arranging competition where you arrange
dates in a different platter and a different type.
Speaker 1 (26:50):
Oh right, the fruit. Yeah, not a date arrangement and
you date the camel.
Speaker 3 (26:58):
So dates, date delicious and dates. They have data ranging.
Speaker 4 (27:02):
And and camel beauty contest. But yeah, look, if we
could get that, put it on casters and just lead
that around Sedon Park.
Speaker 1 (27:11):
We're going a couple of weeks, yeah, but we need
to get onto it.
Speaker 12 (27:14):
Shut.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
We send us in a photo of that camel if
you could now they call it mules.
Speaker 11 (27:17):
Please afternoon, gents. I can actually get you a camel.
I've got very strong links to the Ethiopian community through
my partner and my father and lawa. I spoke to
him about it, and we'll get you a whole camel.
It will have no head, no hooves, be skinned and
probably broken down. But give us a three week lead time,
we get you one all the way from Australia. So yeah,
(27:40):
give us a belt and we'll get that sorted.
Speaker 4 (27:43):
Okay, Well, it kind of needs to look like a camel.
It can't be bits of a camel.
Speaker 1 (27:50):
It's gonna be a hard sell. It's just so Smithy
explain to us.
Speaker 4 (27:55):
Why they're walking around with the carcass, the dismembered carcass
of what looks to be a horse.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
They've got a camel on a spit camel meats.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Have you tried camel meat when? No, not the greatest yet.
Speaker 4 (28:09):
They slow cook it for like two days and it's
a dark kind of fatty.
Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah, it's not good.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I look at I look at a camel and think
that's not good.
Speaker 4 (28:19):
But it needs needs mass when you're traveling across the desert.
It's basically a walking pantry. I well, look, I think, hmm.
It can't be the only thing we do.
Speaker 1 (28:32):
But if we get hold of the Sylvia Park camel
and then also serve up camel, we've got our mates
that ran the taco shop at the Black cloub That's true.
When you won the meat raffle at the Mount Club
and we didn't know what to do with it, so
we took it to a taco shop and they cooked
it up for us. Maybe we could get them. Look, hey,
thanks very much for helping us out last year. How
(28:55):
do you feel about a rotisary camel?
Speaker 3 (28:58):
Is that doable?
Speaker 1 (28:59):
I could do it. Nothing seemed like a problem for now.
Speaker 12 (29:02):
He was.
Speaker 3 (29:02):
He was great. So maybe we just get the heat.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Oh yeah, sixty is part off the camera space?
Speaker 3 (29:11):
All right?
Speaker 1 (29:12):
Not call here your space?
Speaker 6 (29:14):
Yeah?
Speaker 8 (29:14):
Good?
Speaker 12 (29:14):
Every time when I start your podcast and I hear
the old what a better way to start your day
than a cannon?
Speaker 5 (29:22):
Ex? Well, I just I'm just picturing what a better
way to.
Speaker 3 (29:25):
Start your day of the cannon?
Speaker 5 (29:28):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (29:31):
Well you can open whatever can you want? My friend?
Speaker 4 (29:34):
And if it's a cannon, whire pears, it's a cannon
whi pears powerful.
Speaker 3 (29:39):
Two more to game?
Speaker 1 (29:40):
Yeah you get.
Speaker 12 (29:44):
And I while we're talking about forgetting about our personal
lives and then dowling into our personal lives. Was your
partner in crime involved in the elephant transportation the other week?
Speaker 5 (29:57):
I was involved lifting it out, not me? First leave
someone I know? Yeah it was cool. Now we got
no more elephants?
Speaker 12 (30:05):
What's ha in there give us the personal scoop on that.
Speaker 5 (30:08):
We need more elephants. Look named someone an elephant.
Speaker 3 (30:13):
Good, finish a lot there.
Speaker 1 (30:15):
Now she had nothing to do with that. She didn't
work with the elephant.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
So we now got no elephants and no camels.
Speaker 1 (30:19):
No, no camels, but we can import camel meat and
there is a five O class one somewhere and work.
Speaker 12 (30:26):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
I think the thing with that elephant is they the
way they work is they need to breed every so often.
There was no breeding male here.
Speaker 3 (30:34):
I think.
Speaker 4 (30:35):
Also they need to be in a herd, yeah, because
they get they get lonely back. Yeah, imagine it just
being no matter how cool the zoo is a cool zoo,
but if you're on your own, yeah, need an other
big nose to hang out with.
Speaker 1 (30:46):
Yeah, so she's gone to join snuffleff I guess over
there in Australia.
Speaker 3 (30:51):
Yeah, he's got a herd to join.
Speaker 4 (30:52):
It'd be funny when it all you got to do
is hang out with these kind of heirless monkeys that
keep feeding you and washing you.
Speaker 1 (30:57):
Yeah, they're like these guys. Yeah. Yeah, So now she
had nothing to do with that. One more call of
your space.
Speaker 12 (31:04):
Yeah, gooda every time when I start your podcast, so
I hear the old What a better way to start
your day?
