Speaker 1 (00:06):
Welcome along to the morning's podcast. It's today's podcast. Actually,
it's the fourteenth of October. It's a Monday, and the
year is twenty twenty four.

Speaker 2 (00:14):
Mid October. So I went, actually very selfishly, went into
a bookstore to see if they had our book, our
acc book on the shelf. They did, and they had
Christmas decorations everywhere, and it dawned on me that, fuck,
it's Christmas.

Speaker 1 (00:30):
It is mid October. Yes, she's one hundred percent, just
a just about three year changes. And when I say
three year changes, mainly from neutral to neutral to neutral. Yes,
from Christmas, because it's downhill from here, absolutely down here
to October.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Well, because nothing happens in December, you kick everything to
twenty five. So soon as you get to the first
of December, someone says, are you want to do this? Ah,
should we kick this to twenty five? And everyone, invariably everyone,
I go, yeah, totally, there's kick it to twenty five.
Let's do it next year. And twenty five means February
next year.

Speaker 1 (01:03):
This isn't the problem with the Southern Hemisphere is that
because of the way that our Christmas sits, because you know,
Christmas is meant to be a mid winter inside celebrations.
It started as Winter Solstice, so it was a pagan celebration,
and the Christians adapted it into Christianity as the Birth

(01:23):
of Jesus. Yes, but obviously it wasn't. Jesus wasn't actually
born on the twenty fifth of December.

Speaker 3 (01:30):
How do you.

Speaker 2 (01:30):
You everything I believe and my whole existence, my whole
belief system, my values, everything you have.

Speaker 4 (01:40):
Just this is what he does, rush as he listens
to one podcast and then comes in and just shedes,
hopes and dreams for everyone. He doesn't think about the
fact that maybe we've been sitting here thinking that Jesus
was actually born on the twenty fifth.

Speaker 2 (01:50):
Are you telling me that he's not. He wasn't blasted
out in a manger by a woman that's never had
sex before on a twenty It didn't happen on the
twenty fifth. Are you going to tell me that the
virgin Mary was in a virgin?

Speaker 1 (02:04):
Not only am I going to tell you that the
virgin and Mary was in a virgin that Jesus wasn't
born on the twenty fifth of December, but I'm going
to tell you that he wasn't even born in zero BC.

Speaker 2 (02:16):
Ah, well, who's making this shut up?

Speaker 1 (02:18):
Then he was born between six BC and four BC
on the first of April, which is probably five BC.

Speaker 3 (02:25):
Well, yeah, have killed anyone to write it down.

Speaker 2 (02:28):
It's not.

Speaker 1 (02:29):
Yeah. Well, and the reason that they know that is
because of what was written down by the Romans and
Roman scholars at the time around King Herod. Because I remember
King Herod was getting rid of the first born males.
That was a thing that Herod was up to because
he wanted to win more females. I just don't think
he was happy with what was going on and with

(02:50):
Jewish people at the time, and.

Speaker 2 (02:52):
So killed the eldest. I mean, let this be so
so partly.

Speaker 1 (02:55):
Based on the biblical story of King Herod the Great,
an attempt to kill Jesus. The King allegedly all did
the death of all male infants under the age of
two who lived in the vicinity of Bethlehem Jesus, an
event known as the Massacre of the Innocence.

Speaker 3 (03:06):
It's very hilarisque.

Speaker 1 (03:09):
I don't know if that was actually the real I
think that's I think I'm on a Christian website and
some kind of ancient genocide going on there.

Speaker 2 (03:15):
Well, well, Christmas is coming up.

Speaker 4 (03:19):
Now.

Speaker 1 (03:19):
This one saying that he was born between three BC
and one A d Okay. The problem is you just
one of these websites. Was he born on April sixth
people saying that Jesus may have been actual Jesus was
a person.

Speaker 2 (03:31):
I'm more I'm more inclined to think he was born
on April the first. It was a bit of a joke.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
Maybe that that's actually good?

Speaker 1 (03:39):
Hereful what we've got a lot of Christian do we
We've got a lot of Christian really particular in this podcast.

Speaker 2 (03:47):
I apologize, I apologize, I apologize. I didn't mean to offend.

he was born on Christmas Day. And also one's it's

Speaker 5 (05:51):

Speaker 1 (05:52):
What was? What was? What was Lenana's first name?

Speaker 3 (05:55):
Val May?

Speaker 2 (05:57):
Val?

Speaker 1 (05:57):
Oh, that's a hard name. I've got to say Vell.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
That's it sounds like a thirties movie star, val.

Speaker 1 (06:03):
May Darring val mae veal May is the name of
Dame Ibna Everage's daughter she's always talking about. Val Mate
is a lovely name. I'll tell you that is the
name that you do not hear anymore.

Speaker 4 (06:17):
Val May was married to Lionel Orm Lionel, Yeah, val Man,
Lionel Orum of course of Jacob Orham's ilkage ilk lineage, lineage.
And then then they was, you know, they pissed around,
they popped out four five actually, then they lost one
in a motorbike accident, and then my mom and then

(06:37):
sixty Susie.

Speaker 3 (06:38):
But they're all hotties, really on my mother's side, all

Speaker 2 (06:41):
Yeah, and they have not so much Lionel Lionel like
a working man's face.

Speaker 1 (06:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 4 (06:50):
Look, I don't hearing it a lot of okay, and
that kind of like the big year lobes and that
kind of thing.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
It's like a worlder's bench yeah, yeah, just a lot
of roofs and stores.

Speaker 1 (07:02):
That's from Lionel, is it. It's like world. Lionel is
a pretty smooth name.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
It is like Lionel.

Speaker 1 (07:11):
Lionel's parents. I don't know if you know much about
your great grandparents.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I don't.

Speaker 1 (07:15):
On that side, Lionel's parents would have thought that they
were that's a classy operation.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
Calling your son Lionel.

Speaker 1 (07:20):
That would have been a big move in the nineteen
probably with tilkn thirties. Oh yeah, well nineteen twenties, late twenties,
early thirties, ifyl flinyls the same age as bell mate.

Speaker 3 (07:32):
When you boys were name me your kids, were you
trying to give them, like, you know, linel esque names
to the point where that be you know, a little
bit suave? I mean, Hugo.

Speaker 1 (07:41):
Well, we only had one rule in our Tolsey and
I in terms of our name of our children. That's
they can't be called the same name as animals that
she's had. Oh yeah, that's good because she has so
many animals, because she grew up on a death style block.

Speaker 2 (07:56):
And basically a rural petting zoo.

Speaker 1 (07:58):
Yeah, essentially. And so we would go through these names
and I'd be like, no, No, you've.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Got had a dog called Oscar's quite a good name.
You can't go Oscar. So you landed on Hugo.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
Which was, interestingly, was one of her pets names. Did
she keep that quiet until I knew that? I knew
it was an Anatolian shepherd? Have you ever seen an
Anatolian shepherd before? Huge? Google Google Anatolian shepherd.

Speaker 2 (08:29):
I'm on a dog.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
Yeah, type of dog. They essentially guard.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Oh, these things they're huge.

Speaker 1 (08:37):
They guard sheep in wherever Anatolia is, and they guard
sheep against lions and stuff. They're really brave and they're
naturally hurting.

Speaker 2 (08:48):
They heard you, I've seen one of those things.

Speaker 3 (08:51):
So you named your son.

Speaker 1 (08:52):
He was called Hugo, and that was they Tossy had
an Anatolian shep and it used to sit on the
deck and had a giant chain and in the middle
of the night, the chain as Hugo moved around from
place to place, and he was always barking because there
were rabbits.

Speaker 3 (09:08):
Out in them. You know, he was annoying. Actually, just
like my son, learn Frankie.

Speaker 2 (09:15):
Frank You get Franklin, Franklin, Ralph and Franklin.

Speaker 3 (09:19):
Those are two great names.

Speaker 1 (09:20):
Yeah, them after kind of people from the seventeenth century
and the founders of the founders of America.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
Yeah, pretty much. I can remember. We named him Ralph,
and the in laws, you know, the in laws always
talked that, you know, they and they were both presumed
that Ralph was a family name from the other family,
so they blamed So my wife's side of the family
blamed my side of the family for Ralph because they
said it must be some stupid Lane name. And then
my family were like, it must be some stupid Gibbons.

Speaker 1 (09:54):
There was neither.

Speaker 2 (09:55):
And then at the time, my father was a GP
in Brown's Bay. He was filling in and he just
just out of curiosity, he went on to the database,
the medical database and nor Shore just to look how
many Ralph's have been born in the last twenty years.
None the last name that's Ralph to be born. And
the Norse Show was like thirty five years.

Speaker 1 (10:13):
Before our so it was very what you're after.

Speaker 2 (10:16):
We actually our technique was looking at the credits in
movies and TV programs and just going through all the
names that come there too, And Franklin, I just wanted
a son that I could do Frank the tank with
and smash beers withth and say I'm Frank the Tank.
So I quite like the name Frank. But just the
middle ground was we can't just called Frank as Franklin

(10:38):
was a bit more kind of.

Speaker 3 (10:40):
You can't be called Frank hunder Ten.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
Well, Frank short for Francis as well, isn't he?

Speaker 2 (10:43):
Yeah it is, So he's Franklin's Yeah, he's Franklin l
a like Franklin Roosevelt Turtle. Yeah, and it's l I
in or y l I in Franklin. Why in Franklin Road. Yeah, yeah,
Franklin Road and Franklin District. I was going to call

(11:05):
him Rodney, but I prefer the Franklin district of the
Rodney district.

Speaker 3 (11:12):
Where does Michiga come from? Jerry?

Speaker 1 (11:14):
I was looking at the Personal column and the New
Zealand Herald, you know where where you can get escorts,
and I saw that because it was going to be
the candy candy. I did look at summer or Mushka.

(11:36):
I was I think mishka it actually means it means
a little beer in Russian. That's whatsa means. But as
she grows taller than Tulsa as she is now. I
really she's not going to be a little beer. She's
going to be a reasonably tall woman.

Speaker 3 (11:53):
You gonna hurt sex foot you again?

Speaker 1 (11:55):
Nah, I don't think so.

Speaker 3 (11:57):
Thats five eight, I am sure. And it's quite tall,
isn't she?

Speaker 2 (12:03):
Yes, who saw the Family of Monsters.

Speaker 3 (12:06):
So it is not like crazily tall for a.

Speaker 2 (12:10):
Yeah, she's same one as me.

Speaker 1 (12:15):
I was talking about you on aren Zi Rady in
New Zealand on the Weekend Action. I'll come back to
what I said about you in just a moment and
we're back.

Speaker 2 (12:26):
I was a guest on the Jim Moura Show this
Sunday morning.

Speaker 1 (12:30):
Sunday morning. I expected it to be a ten minute interview.

Speaker 3 (12:34):
Maybe.

Speaker 1 (12:34):
I went into rin Zen and can I just say
that that place it's like the back office of a DHB.
Going into the office, there no sound, completely quiet radio station,
completely silent, gray walls. You know those you know those
gray walls that you get inside of a police interrogation
room fabric fabruck. Yes, yeah, it's essentially the The place

(13:00):
that we recorded the interview was essentially a police interrogation
room with Jim Morra was it a pre recorded interview,
window recorded, windowless, pre recorded.

Speaker 2 (13:10):
How many producers did Jim have?

Speaker 1 (13:12):
He had just the two. But those are the ones
that I saw. There were a number that were working on,
no doubt. In the back office here I ran into
Mark Leishman.

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Oh, that was Mark Leishman.

Speaker 1 (13:23):
Good. He's good. He's reading the news on Aaron It.
He shouted to him and Jim Morra and I said, up, well,
this is an amazing thing that's going on here. I said,
this is the tax Wonderdog's team together for the first time,
and he has no.

Speaker 3 (13:37):
We work together every day, we see each other.

Speaker 1 (13:39):
Okay, But I said, do the listeners know that you
guys are the Tucks Underdogs team? And they said, you
know what, not a single person has ever texted or
mentioned the fact that we did that because Jim Moore
used to do the voiceover for it, and Mark Leishman
obviously used to host it with Dexter.

Speaker 2 (13:55):
He was one of the most famous. He was one
of those famous animals in the country, dex Chester.

Speaker 1 (13:59):
Yep.

Speaker 2 (14:00):
And he had the little handkerchief around his neck, didn't.

Speaker 1 (14:01):
He Yeah, good dog, Dixter, did you so? Churning away
to Jim Moore, and we're talking about the initial conception
of the a SEC and I was saying about, you know,
the first time I laid eyes on you and at
Saint Paul's at a at a cricket practice. I remember,
I remember it well because you steamed in. You you

(14:23):
rolled around the corner like Murvehus used to at the
top of your run used to lame would walk back
to his run. He had a decent sized run up,
do you don't he'd run back. He'd walk back to
his run up, and then he never stopped and looked
and then ran in. He always turned and ran.

Speaker 3 (14:39):
Yeah, it's quite common, I think.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
And I need to build up momentum. I needed to
build up the momentum.

Speaker 1 (14:43):
That's what this sort of sid on for about four
paces of the run up at the beginning as it
sort of you know, turned into it. And and I
remember describing you as a forty five year old man
because he had a full five o'clock shit, you were fifteen.
You had a full five o'clock shadow. And I remember thinking,

(15:06):
if they not have a policy here where you have
to shave or anything, and it was like, no, no,
I have I shaved this morning. But this is what's
this is what's happened, just in a day's growth.

Speaker 2 (15:14):
I think also, I think it might have been a
school holidays where we were having a practice maybe because
oh yeah it was Yeah, because I grew a bit
of a beard and then rolled in and bowled you
those big banana outswingers at Easter Bowl. Yes, I used
to aim for leg like three league stumps.

Speaker 1 (15:30):
Did you prefer bowling from the from the pavilion end
or from from Graham Campbell's house.

Speaker 2 (15:37):
In Graham Campbell's house in Did you preferred that end
for some reason? I don't know why. I Now you
got your five foot bowling at the other end.

Speaker 1 (15:45):
Now I got my five for bowling at the Graham
camp did you Graham Cambell end? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (15:50):
What were you?

Speaker 1 (15:51):
I normally preferred to bowl at the at the pavilion
in bowling, hooping and swingers, yea. So it was the
opposite of lane.

Speaker 2 (15:59):
Jerry was very upright and his his delivery stance and
running you imagine how stiff. It wasn't as stiff as
he is now, but there was an element of stiffness.
There was a shuffle. It was like a little shuffle,
little short step shuffle, very open chested, and that's what
put off most of the batsmen came from a height.

(16:19):
It came from a height, and it was all arms
and legs. I wouldn't say you'd model your your Do
you really.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
Think it was that ugly? My action was that, well,
you you like.

Speaker 2 (16:33):
To think it was you modeled off Richard Hadley.

Speaker 1 (16:35):
Well, I could bowl like Richard Hadley, but I think
by that stage I changed. I was modeling myself on
what's a macrom at that stage?

Speaker 2 (16:45):
And interestingly, I wish there was some video footage of
those days because that you were like, there was this
macream and then there's a little bit more Carl Recaman,
Oh really, no, not that bad, not bad, maybe Paul Rifle.

Speaker 1 (17:06):
I interestingly sat beside someone on Saturday night at this
function that I went to at some pools, and it
was a guy and I looked up on the on
the thing and he introduced himself as Kent. I was like, Kent,
how's it going good? I felt like I thought it
was a familiar kind of a face, and we were
chatting away and then there was the main was served,

(17:28):
and then there was a speech and stuff, and then
I looked up on the on the board and I
had all of the people at your table, and I
saw a surname was Curry, and I was like, I
remember a guy at Boys High that we because I
played for me and Lame played for some pools and
he played for Boys High. And I remember a guy
from Boys High who was I'm sure it was called
Kent Carry, I thought, but maybe I thought maybe he
was in the first fifteen, maybe played rugby, and I

(17:50):
just remember him anyway. I said to him, did you
go to Boys High? And he goes, yes, and you
got me out when we played some pause, I was
your third victim of how many did you get? Six
or whatever? I was like, I was like, that was
He goes, you bowl very well. That thanks very much
for that. I said, it never got any better than that.

(18:11):
That was as good as good as it gets. But
he told quite an interesting story.

Speaker 3 (18:15):
Has lived with him for that many years.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Yeah, he remembered it. Shit, he remembered it. I was like, oh,
it's good, it's good that you remember that. But he
said that the night before. And I didn't know this
because I always just thought it was just the it
was just a day when things were going right for me,
and that I genuinely felt that day the only time
in my life bowling that I was going to take

(18:37):
a work at every single ball. I thought, I genuinely
as I was running, and I thought, I wasn't thinking
about about bowling three balls and trying to get a
work at or bowling dots. I was genuinely trying to
get every person out. And I felt like I could
put it exactly where I wanted to put it the
one day it happened in my life. But he he
said that the night and I thought that was because
of me, But he said the night before, the day before,

(18:57):
they had one of the guys who had been playing
in their team in and out. He was also on
the second leven died. Really yes, and so they said
they shouldn't have even really played the game because they
were reeling off the back of the fact that this
person had died and really put a dampner on my performance.

Speaker 2 (19:14):
I've got to say I can remember, particularly remember that
game when you were down at fine leg, you were
creep me from wrong. Were you practicing how to send
batsman off?

Speaker 1 (19:24):
He mentioned this, He were like down and funny. He
mentioned it that I was doing the celebration with every work,
and I took them like Ian. Both of them used to,
and both of them used to take a dance in
the face of the person who.

Speaker 2 (19:43):
I remember that.

Speaker 1 (19:45):
I was doing. My mom still says that it was
one of the most embarrassing moments of her life. She
said she was quietly I'd take a week and she'd
be pleased, and then she said it was all undone
with every single time I would do that stupid dance.

Speaker 4 (19:58):
So you took a six foot at a few funeral. Essentially,
it was the way celebrated.

Speaker 3 (20:03):
Like both of.

Speaker 1 (20:04):
Them fear I had no idea, that's feel, but that
had happened how he's supposed to know. But they got
off to a fly. They were. They were none for
thirty odd.

Speaker 2 (20:15):
That's because I opened the bowling ge lame. You sprang around.

Speaker 3 (20:20):
God got pippered. None for thirty they were none for thirty.
Is that a fly off?

Speaker 5 (20:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:25):
Those days off like off like six overs, maybe forty odd,
and then they were all out for ninety nine.

Speaker 3 (20:32):
You've always gotta play some real cricket. Come on, none
for thirty. No, there was still fly.

Speaker 1 (20:38):
This was days. But he said to me that that
they were cocky going into that game. He said that
they thought they were going to absolutely drill us. They
thought they were rubbish. And then and then he said
that the three years that he played in the first
eleven I think he said it was three years. Was
he your age?

Speaker 2 (20:56):
Yeah?

Speaker 1 (20:57):
And the three years that that that this guy played
in the first even though he never beat some pauls.

Speaker 3 (21:02):
I was like, yeah, that's good.

Speaker 2 (21:04):
Certainly bet us in rugby. But that's another story.

Speaker 3 (21:06):
Did you play a full season with the St.

Speaker 4 (21:08):
Paul's team or would you just play against other schools
every now and again or do you play a full
We played.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
In the men's senior A competition, right, okay, so we
played a lot together.

Speaker 3 (21:18):
It's good that you can do that up here. You
can't really do that.

Speaker 2 (21:20):
All christ real happy hunting Groundneath that, that's that senior
cricket scene because it's just abusing middle aged men.

Speaker 3 (21:26):
You just get to know, get to know everyone.

Speaker 2 (21:28):
I used to love it because we were made to
do it because it was we're part of school, so
we'd have to turn up. We'd be hungover or well
I would be anyway. And these middle aged dudes who
are just battling away pretty much like I am. Now
we're playing senior cricket and I'd just be in slaps
game's look at you. Do you hate your family that much?
Are you running away from life that much that you

(21:49):
give up a whole day to play a bunch of
wounding kids, a bunch of wounding kids? And what you say?
You heard me like? I was like, why would you
do this to yourself? We have we have to be here.
If we don't, we get like detention or something, we
don't turn up. You've voluntarily come out here to get
your fucking asses handed to you by a bunch of

(22:10):
seventeen year olds, and they're like, fucking little shit, loser, rare,
get clean, bolt to see your buddy, wife and your kids.
I was the biggest asshold.

Speaker 4 (22:20):
As a man that still now plays Last Man's Stands Cricket.
I hope you can piure when you go at the
bed next time. I hope you can picture in young
Mike Lane and the slip cord and they're just giving
yourself some assholes for being there, wasting your time with
your family's life.

Speaker 2 (22:32):
The thing is the Last Man Stands, it's just full
of people like me. Yeah so, and it's only two
hours of the day. I can't play a full day cricket,
but I can't curry. He actually, I mean you wounded
him so much with those three years of cricket where
you humiliated him. He started the Kindred Cricket Club, which
is this cricket group of cricket clubs around the country.
Who you know, it's like Clifton Cricket Club. Oh, the

(22:53):
said in Cricket Club, which she helps start all around
the country. There's these Kindred kind of basically clubs of
do two want to play cricket, love the game, and
they do a Kindred Cup every year, the Wanderers down
in Wellington for example, Willows and christ Church. So he
started that, so did so. He was he was suffering
so much from those years of humiliation at high school
that he went and started a whole competition to basically

(23:16):
enhance the spirit of the game because he was so
wounded by it.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
Well, I think he feels like he did it, he said.
He did a lot of sledging, much like you. Because
they played in the Senior A competition as well. Yeah,
so I remember we we we played them and we
beat them in the senior a thing as well, and.

Speaker 2 (23:34):
My favorite competition.

Speaker 1 (23:36):
He said that. He said that he was in the
slips and he was, he was sledging Neil Parlaine, who
was a guy went on to play. Parlaine went on
to play for nd He was a very good player
at our age he was he was Lane's year and
and then he said he's sledging him. And then next thing,
Parlaine nicked one and he's at first stop and he

(23:56):
dropped it. And then he said he moved. They moved
him to midwicket because he was because they were like
pissed off at him. He moved to midwicket as Neil
Pauline Sending's got underway. And then Neil Plane had another
one til and he dropped him again. He said he
dropped him twice. Did you boys play any cricket after

(24:18):
high school? Or was it all when some pols wrapped up?

Speaker 3 (24:20):
There was about it, Yeah, but club cricket, but that
was really about it.

Speaker 1 (24:23):
It's never as fun that that never is his first
living cricket as the I reckon and dance is the
same thing too, as the most fun cricket you ever play.

Speaker 2 (24:32):
I one of the funnest games was that boys boys
high game senior cricket. And by that stage, I think
it was the end of the year. I'd left school.
But you still have to play this season. So I
left school. But and so I did a whole over
of Comedy Comedy Bowl. So I did Murth hughs So
because I did a big murder, did Peter May, you
know how Peter May? And you know I did Jeff Thompson,

(24:54):
And I'll never forget I did Jeff Thompson.

Speaker 1 (24:56):
Slang it.

Speaker 2 (24:57):
It was so wide and it seemed back. Craig Bullock
shouldered arms and it took the top of a star.
The celebration basically involved the entire team rolling around on
the ground lasting he.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Said this carry was saying, he goes. It was you
guys used to get most stuck into me and Bollock
and then he said it. And also you'd heard that
I'd been to fire Cats and so and so every
time I went in he Goes, you'd hear Lane would
be saying, that's Luba marp. Come on, let's slip one fast,
come on, let's house, that's good gear. It was, It

(25:36):
was very It was It was an entertaining evening chilling
to him about that sort of stuffing.

Speaker 3 (25:41):
Carry what's up to now? Anyway, I think he's choosed
to see you have the Chiefs.

Speaker 2 (25:44):
I think the Chiefs. I think he's involved development for
the Chiefs. If I was the Chiefs, I would check
on how much time he spends on the Kindred Creit
Club and work hours, just throwing it out there. Anyone
from the Chiefs organization that's maybe just check how what's
going on there, because he spends a lot of time.

Speaker 1 (26:03):
We're still punishing him.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
I'm going to see him soon because they're organizing the
five day Test match. It's going to be at Saint Paul's.
It's the November eleven versus the Siddon Cricket Club all
for November. It's happening mid November. So I'm going to
head down there and we play a game on the
Friday night. ACC played T twenty game against I think
they're trying to get the Chiefs T twenty team together
because we played the tunny Far last year when we're
up Northland played at common Oble and we played the

(26:28):
tunny Far T twenty team.

Speaker 1 (26:30):
We won, but as the first ever ACC you won, yeah,
and they never won key to success. Yeah, new team
ten imports.

Speaker 2 (26:38):
Yeah, I captain ten players I've never seen before in
my life and they were awesome.

Speaker 1 (26:42):
Yeah. Well, Jason Hoyt often opens the banning for the
ACC and I got to say that's an absolute disaster.
I mean, people, he is, in terms of limited overs cricket,
the worst person you could ever have coming and opening
the banning.

Speaker 4 (26:56):
Do you know I've played three games for the SEC
eleven now and every single game has gone just the
exact same.

Speaker 2 (27:02):
I know, as we as well.

Speaker 4 (27:03):
First we drop about fifty catches in the field, we
go for about I'm looking at you, pants Pantsman. By
the way, Pantsman dropped how many catches did you drop
under the high ball?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
At least he got to them, though, because a lot
of people were running away from the ball. Myself included, Yeah,
I think did you drop three pence? Men?

Speaker 1 (27:21):
I think I dropped three or four.

Speaker 5 (27:22):
But it's a shame because literally, the one thing I'm
kind of good at is catching. I grew up playing
ten twelve years of cricket. The one thing I was
good at was catching. And then I just realized these
balls are going fifty minutes in the air, and I
was just missing them horrendously.

Speaker 1 (27:38):
Well, you Bob with a bit of fire.

Speaker 4 (27:40):
But we just put so much pressure on ourselves with
the ball, don't we. By the time we get to
the batting time of things, I don't know. We just
the orders upside down.

Speaker 3 (27:47):
We don't know what well.

Speaker 1 (27:48):
Lene always puts Hoytonto as a comp piece of comedy
because he knows there's going to be something that's going
to happen.

Speaker 4 (27:54):
And then Gulon puts pressure on himself because usually bet
middle top of the middle word of four and then
I'll come at five or whoever it is five, six,
and then but by the time that we're in, it's
about the twelfth over and we're having to score about
fourteen to fifteen runs and over already, and the game's
already over.

Speaker 1 (28:07):
But also you can always score in TI twenty. You
can always score fifteen off the last three or four.
This is the this is the thing. It's you can
do it. You can't be bowled out on the fifteenth over.
That's our problem. We get bold out because people panic.
It's like you can't you can't panic. But also you
don't want to start badly. We start terribly. You can't

(28:31):
catch catches and you're going.

Speaker 3 (28:32):
To win a game.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Yeah, we'll see you go. We'll say you can't.

Speaker 1 (28:34):
Win dropping eleven catches. No team has ever won a
game of cricket dropping eleven catches. No team's ever dropped
eleven catches.

Speaker 2 (28:41):
Yeah, like it wasn't our wasn't our finest performance. Also
playing on an international field as well just made it
even worse. It's too large and so as a result
we have got another game against down in christ Et
Hagley Oval, and luckily the November guys are stepping up.
It's a November ACC combination. Eleven captain by Kiaren Reid.

(29:03):
They asked if I want to be co captain. I'm not.
I'm not a big believer in co captain. Se give
it to give it to Ice Sockets. He's way bigger
than me. It got way much more manor than me.
And we're playing todd Estill's team down there. He's got
a hes got a team he runs down there. So
we're going to play down there and I think that's
in December.

Speaker 1 (29:23):
Okay, so we're going to do just before before that
or what date do you land?

Speaker 3 (29:27):
I'll just get my calendar sort of.

Speaker 2 (29:32):
The invites. Well, at least we no more heat no,
Yeah that's true.

Speaker 1 (29:36):
Yeah that's a positive.

Speaker 2 (29:37):
Yeah that's true.

Speaker 3 (29:38):
No more autumn leaves, no.

Speaker 1 (29:39):
More causing Moto running between the wickets that time.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
Oh good, that were good times.

Speaker 3 (29:50):
I remember those.

Speaker 2 (29:51):
Finally, yeah, okay, good time.
