Speaker 1 (00:11):
Up next on the program, we've got Jamie McCoy with
the country crossover Jamie, how you getting.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
On, Chris? What a great song to intro me? Elton John,
Goodbye Yellow Brogrode. It is probably my favorite song. I
should have stayed on the farm, should have listened to
my old man. That's the story of my life.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I might be able to relate to that, Siverle as well.
I wouldn't say that out loud day.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Unfortunately, Elton John in later years, and I've seen him
in concert about three or four times, I wouldn't bother
now because he's I don't think he's performing now. He's
lost his voice. But even more latterly he couldn't do
that song because he just couldn't hit the high notes anymore.
Speaker 1 (00:48):
I don't mind. I can watch on Graham in the
RDEN or something, and you just hear the stories they
come out with, and he's, you know, he's a knight now,
and these stories and he's swearing and all the antics
he got up to anyone's laughing forty years ago there
it was disgusting.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
Oh well, those guys, excuse me, I'm losing my voice
a bit like Alton. Those guys, you know, the Mick Jaggers,
the Alton John's, those sort of guys. Rod Stewart, I
mean they played the Eagles, you know, the Beatles, they
played Mary ac DC, Mary how with the drugs, sex, drugs,
(01:23):
rock and roll. I mean, the modern day rock stars
have got nothing on that lot.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Oh, how on earth Keith Richards is still going is
beyond me.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
Have you read his book? Not yet, but oh it
is honestly one of the best reads of a biography.
I don't know if he wrote it himself, whether it
was an autobiography or someone wrote it for him, but
it is honestly a great book. It's a great read.
He's such an interesting character, Keith Richards, and he looks
like he shouldn't be alive. Technically he shouldn't be, but
(01:53):
he's still going strong.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
It's amazing, isn't it.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
Yeah? I think the Well the Rolling Stones are the
greatest rock almost probably the greatest rock band of all time,
just for longevity, if nothing else.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Clearly they had beat a drug speak in their day. Yeah, well,
can I say that?
Speaker 2 (02:08):
Well, I don't know. I mean the Eagles apparently or
they all sobered up. Joe Walsh doesn't. None of them
drink anymore. They drink green tea before they go on concert.
It didn't help Glenn Fry much, but anyhow, those were
the days how the mighty have fallen.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Yep, speaking of falling, I'd like to think that the
Whitehead are going to be falling on Sunday afternoon to
the spirited challenge from Southend.
Speaker 2 (02:35):
Yeah, it's quite exciting. This one came from nowhere. Really,
we probably weren't expecting it. I haven't honestly at this stage. Anyhow,
I don't know if you have seen the Whitecaddo team
sheet and how many of those all blacks are going
to start, or how many are coming off the bench,
or how many aren't even in the playing twenty three.
So that's a bit of supposition. But they'll be very
strong and they'll be the favorites. But I must say
(02:57):
the last two games of the Stags, because I was
a wee bit disappointed with our start, But the last
two games, man or two great comeback and then they
have plenty up and wrote a last Thursday was just
major proud, didn't it was some of those some of
those Southland born players are doing really well and I
(03:18):
look at Sean with he and I think he wouldn't
embarrass himself. And the all Blacks that bloke, and then
young Molly Iena at first five he's great. And then
we've got a we've got a we've got Jack Taylor,
and then we've got a Jimmy Taylor coming through. So
I'm assuming that the Stags will have his signature sign
sealed and delivered so we could see Jimmy Taylor and
(03:40):
young Mollyena both playing in the Stags next year. How
good would that?
Speaker 1 (03:44):
That would be awesome? Just going on last week's game,
I had that bad feeling just after halftime when the
bay play got in front and mate, we've in the past,
we've given up those games or the bounce of the
balls going against us. They just dug in. Man, it
was awesome to just watch them set it through.
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Yeah, and I don't even I don't even know their names.
My sons are a huge Stags fan, and I was
watching the game with him up in Towrong Or. Unfortunately,
if I'd known they were playing in Rotuh, I would
have changed the airfares and landed in there when I
was up there last week. But the number eight and
the number twelve, the second five eighth g they were
(04:21):
impressive and I know one of them is playing Super rugby.
I don't know that much about them, but I thought, gee,
those guys are really impressive. And then and then you've
got Michael Manson. When you've got as Earl Curtain would say,
like that gas, it's just good to see a bloke
running really fast, So give that guy some space and
(04:42):
shut the gate.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
It was also I've read the fact with mates about
we just stand there and we head it up, you
get and I've wanted them to get a bit of
deepth on the ball and hit the line. And that
was just a perfect example of it, wasn't it.
Speaker 2 (04:55):
Oh absolutely no, go the Stags. And then of course,
and we mentioned Jimmy Tayte the Southland Boys. Are they
playing today? Semi today? And what final is it? Someday?
Speaker 1 (05:04):
Quarter to two, quarter to three? Sorry this afternoon. He
gets Raid Boys highs which is going to be tough.
But we're the underdogs. We're a team that can.
Speaker 2 (05:13):
Do it well. They were underdogs two years ago and
they got there. So look no, very very proud and
it's just I mean Southlands a rugby Mad Province. We
all come from rugby mad towns. I know you're Balfer
the traditional enemy for us guys, tribalism. I say this
to Muur all the time, but I think it's wonderful
(05:35):
that tribalism rules and club rugby. You know, that's where
it all starts. And you know in a lot of ways, Chris,
and you'll better reflect on this when you're a bit
older like me. The best years of your life years
playing club rugby.
Speaker 1 (05:49):
I reckon, I've already made that there, that put two
and two together on that big time and I've been
involved to weave it with Pine Ed last few years.
And it's amazing how many rivals they have.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Oh well, if you think rivers and belf is a
good rivalry, or Riversdale and Waikaia back in the day,
or River Monson for that matter, you want to try
versus alb I have. That's tribal hatred.
Speaker 1 (06:15):
That's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
That is amazing. And you get some of those storms
and I know them from both clubs and I think
it is that is one of the great rugby rivalries
in Southland.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Well when Steve, I can't remember the previous general manager
for South and came down a few years ago. I said.
He was watching a woman play one sunday. I said,
tell you what, if you've got to do anything in
south and you've got to go and watch Pioneer play Albion,
I see it's next week, come along and he couldn't
believe it. Just the people that turned out the level
(06:48):
of rugby was fair enough, and I was the one
and he's gone. There's some heart in this province, which
was really good to hear from an outsider.
Speaker 2 (06:57):
Yeah, bring it on.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
Absolutely all right, Jamie, Well, I think we're probably covered
off as much as we probably can without going on
too long.
Speaker 2 (07:06):
I just want to say to all the farmers out there,
and I'm fond of saying, Chris, that's September. It certainly
isn't south in the most important month on the farming calendar,
especially for all the sheep farmers once they get into lamming.
I know it's just sort of kicking off now, but
the dairy farmers have had a hell of a start,
a really mild winter and a really good start to carving.
(07:27):
I know there's a bit of cold weather coming, but
you can't escape that in Southland. In September, and I
think back to what a diabolical spring last year was,
and for all those farmers out there grafting away, I
say good luck and may the weather gods be with you.
Speaker 1 (07:43):
I completely agree with that, and I hope you have
a great weekend too, and I'll try my best.
Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yep, go the Stags and go Southland boys. It's going
to be a great weekend up the Stags.
