Speaker 1 (00:18):
I've got time blindness. I think, Yeah, you can't see
what the date is. You're terrible.
Speaker 3 (00:22):
You're terrible with like even with holidays, returning dates. You've
got some sort of retardations when it comes to that.
Speaker 1 (00:30):
It is. It's a significant retardation. I will book flights
back to front as you know, anytime I put leave in. Yeah,
so when are you actually landing? Yeah, on Tuesday.
Speaker 3 (00:39):
It's like, no, no, you don't went to Wednesdays as
you've got.
Speaker 1 (00:42):
Oh, in my defense, that one was one of those
Tuesday plus one situations that can be a bit confusing,
but not to take away from the fact that that
is a genuine retardation of mine. I don't know what
it is because I'm not late and I don't miss
things when they're happening. It's just looking into the future.
I just can't see it right, like to live in
the now. Yeah, you know, I'd like to stay present. Yeah,
(01:03):
cool man, Yeah, ice baths and ground well yeah, I
mean you know my number one truck is you know,
you take your shoes off, stand barefoot in the grass
and they will just reconnect you with the earth grounds you. Yeah,
it just grounds.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
Either that or get blackout drunk on the first night
you land. That just completely reset the body. That'll ground
you as well. That flows it. You've been on the
Grotten Jerry Show this week, Gelane and Jerry Show on
the radio Headache. Yeah, you're there tomorrow.
Speaker 3 (01:33):
You're doing Thursday Friday head to Cowow Island rinksp So.
Speaker 1 (01:38):
I saw the marketing and it was like it's going
to be Jerry and Friends for the rest of the year,
a chance to branch out and Jerry single and ready
to mingle. And then the first week they've just got
the two dudes who worked down the hallway.
Speaker 3 (01:50):
I haven't seen you in the marketing, but now you
think of it. But they're like, that's like, you know,
it's like fucking new flatmates. It's like, I'm single, but
these guys are just here and to get back out there.
She's just in the hallway exactly.
Speaker 1 (02:02):
And I think there's a bit of a vibe. Yeah,
and that's what's going on here. So yeah, comments morrow,
what is you know, because the content game down the
content cole mine, it's all about reusing and regurgit. Sorry,
So what's the best thing you guys have talked about
this morning? Was it was all about spewing it?
Speaker 3 (02:20):
She because we talked about, well, mash board up the
fact that he was in a playground on his own,
swinging on a swing, which now hang on, Yeah, they
had raised a few alarm bells one twenty four. Yeah,
and either a sexual predator or someone who's dangerously wasted,
and he denied both and then off here he said
he was dangerously wasted, but he said he got quite
motion sickness in the swing after a while and he
(02:43):
had to get off, and he was quite nauseous for
a couple of hours. And then it just moved into
vomiting and sick bags on planes, and I regaled a
story of my daughter vomiting on me on the ferry,
right down my face in front by a full pelican.
And then we moved into pelicans, oh yeah, and then
we moved into does anyone actually use.
Speaker 1 (03:00):
The airline bags?
Speaker 3 (03:01):
And then one guy texted and said that his three
year old daughter vomited NonStop Auckland, Hawaii and used every
single bag in the plane.
Speaker 1 (03:09):
That's like a sixteen hour flight or something, isn't it
thirteen hours? Yeah, Jesus, so a bit of bom bit
of bomb chat. I've I had a flatmate who performed,
actually two flatmates who performed a two story pelican. So
he bombed out of the second story and pelican the
dude who was on the ground. Pelicanning is so gross
(03:29):
it is. It's up there with some of the grossest
shit you can do, and it's very otago Uni because
I remember down there we used to have like key graces.
We found this bend in the Leath River. It was
essentially an island, and we had a care grace down there.
Two kigs, two teams, have probably about twenty people on
each team, and it was just how quickly can you
get the keg down? And it got so competitive that
(03:50):
dudes were like, drink spewed, drunk, spew drinks, pew drink
spewmic balmic drinking is not good, not even enjoying it,
just just to get it out. And the handy part
was the leath river was right there, so you could
just throw up in the form your ablutions and there
I saw multiple pelicans on that day. I once performed
(04:10):
a chunda dragon, though actually twice performed a chunder dragon,
which is where as you're throwing up, you flap your
arms like you're a dragon. Yeah, the chunda's the flames.
I performed that in the car park at the George
Street KFC in Dunedin. A school bus showed up of
a girls' school that was on an exchange for the
(04:32):
Danedan High School. They pulled up the KFC and his
you're doing the under dragon. Yeah, yeah, probably not an
otarger uni hoodie. I got so suck a couple of
years ago that I threw up in the shower and
it was the first time I'd thrown up sober in
(04:52):
a long time. Oh yeah, very different experience.
Speaker 3 (04:54):
Yeah, we talked about how the different techniques are throwing up.
I'm a massive audible, like I scream when I throw
I'm a yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (05:06):
I'm a I cannot Some people are like real quiet.
Speaker 3 (05:10):
I'm a full scream at like on the I can't
I can't hide it, I can't go off and like
scurry into the corner and do a bomb.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
I'm full screaming like everyone knows. Everyone knows that I'm
quite a discreet chunder. In fact, hungover and then also
drunk again while we're in to need it, I threw
up in the bush on the way into the the pub.
There is that recently, Yeah, while we were down there
last time. We're in, yeah for the rugby, for the rugby. Yep,
this was there's cheeky, like a little cheeky little cat
(05:40):
in the corner. Yeah, I know. But and you you
just don't hear it. I don't make a noise. She
lives in constant fear of throwing up. She can't. She
just hates it. I'm fine with it, and I think
it's because I'm such a you know, degenerate piece of ship.
Yeah that, Yeah, I'm okay with it. But yeah, I
(06:02):
don't make a noise. I'll got the fingers down the
throat to get because there's nothing worse than that feeling
of like you're about to spere it, right, So I'll
provoke it every now and there. You go to the gig,
can I just my question, just get off the bombs?
Did you forget your clothes today. Yes, I did. Yeah,
because you're in a you're in a promo shit, and
(06:24):
there's always I'm always suspicious when you're in a promo. Shit,
what's happened? What have you done? If you're not watching
this on YouTube, it's it's the white acc shirt logo
on the front, massive logo on the back. Yeah, no,
I just love the brand. Man. Yeah, I'm thinking, I
know you love there, I know you love the a
SEC so much, but it's like, nah, what did you do? Well?
I went to the gym this morning, and I go
(06:44):
quite often. Yeah, a lot of people noticed that I
wasn't there for the last two weeks. They were asking
me about it. Anyway, I had a shower, get out
of the shower, I was like, ah, fuck, I don't
pack of shirt this morning, and my haste to get
out the door. So I had my like sweety ass
gym shit. And I was like, can't do this, And
so La rated the promo covered for me for big
T shirt. We got good, you look good. Yeah, you're
(07:07):
going to go out do some sampling. Immediately spilt a
something on the shirt, a little bit of cost water
all over it. But yeah, good, I'll be on the
corner of Nelson Rick. Yeah, yeah, yep, with your chance
to win. I don't know something another T shirt.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
Well, you won't be in the a SEC promo vehicle
because it's seen repainted black. The branding's gone for it. Yeah,
I did a photo shoot used today with it. I'm
going to ready to sell on Auto Trader.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
Shit, it looks hot, it looks beautiful. It looks so hot.
And I got in the seat in there. The B
six seats great. The seat we used to have in
there was only attached on the on the driver's side. Yes,
when you went around the corner, the passenger would be
sliding back and forth in there, which is I don't
know past all of its warrants. The seat's great, and
I put my seats. I put my kids across the
(07:53):
seat as well, though I see this is probably on
the only times you'll want to be on a bench
seat and daughter in the middle with the lap belt,
and she goes she was very freaked out about the
lap belt. Oh, you quite worked that out. So it's
going to fold me in half. It's like, yeah, yeah
it will, but it's going to stop you from bouncing
around the cabin and hitting us and that's the Yeah,
that's the key, that's all that's doing.
Speaker 3 (08:11):
So, yeah, that's getting ready for sale. That's going to
be November. Oh, there's a big build up. There's locks
on the door.
Speaker 1 (08:18):
Now there were always locks, but you know the little
nib that you pull up and push down, that was
just a screw with nothing on it. It's getting bitter
and bitter by the day. It's no. Yeah, it is
a powerful piece of machinery at the moment. Like the
engine has been humming for a good couple of years now,
knocking wood. Yeah, because it is an old car. Yeah. Eight. Yeah.
The photographer popped uponnet and he goes, whoo straight sex. Yeah,
(08:40):
he fucking loved that. Yeah. Is that way he selling?
And I'm like, it's a good question. Charity, mate, charity.
It's also the funniest thing about it, as I find
because I drive it quite a bit. It really divides opinion.
Checks generally don't like it. Oh what is that? Yeah,
dudes will flag you down, but we'll use this this
straight suck Yeah, three point out the ninety eight is it?
(09:02):
Don't just fucking love it?
Speaker 3 (09:03):
Yeah, it's it's it's an icon and hopefully when we
sell it, it goes to someone who will love it
as much as we have.
Speaker 1 (09:11):
But then that's going to be on auto Trader.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
There's a bunch of videos on how to prepare your
car for sale on auto Trader as well. If you
jump on the acc in z dot com, all that
stuff legends at auto Trader.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
Yeah, how to flick your car. So I've got a
couple of cars to sell as well, so I'll be
following those tips. We filmed Game of Two Halves yesterday.
Oh yes, it's probably behind the curtain. I can't tell
you how it went, who won. What I can tell
you by way of a tease is this episode will
change the way you look at Tony Street forever. Oh really? Yeah?
Street was Streety on your team? Street he was on
(09:44):
my team. Yeah, she was great as well. She bailed
me out a couple of times. I had Tony Street
and Angus tar Argicle and Gus. Oh yeah, Javanger was
supposed to be on the on my team this week.
Yeah yeah, so I know for affect. Joe Jury sent
the clip of me through the sky. I suspect you
sent it as well. I did. They said they'd received
(10:06):
it like four times as soon as I saw the
cool sheet of j I was like, fuck yeah. I said,
please make him on the other team, and he goes
now he's on Minis. There was even bitter here. Check
out the most awkward interview of all time when he
asked them if he's real, Ha's rehab going No, But
thankfully I was bailed out last minute. He got called
away and he couldn't do it. So Gus came in.
(10:28):
He was from ice Calm Gus. Yeah, he was tremendous.
Speaker 3 (10:30):
It's a powerful team, you Angus Tavao and stread.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Yes, it's powerful. It was. It was formidable. And then
on the other team they had Maconey Tony Lyle conflict
of interest to proably behind the curtain even more. Tony
Lyle writes the show what so he generally writes the
questions and he'll write a lot of the scripts that
Laura reads. Did they declare that conflict of interest at
the start? He assures me someone else wrote the questions, Okay,
(10:57):
I don't know who that would have been. And then
they also had Maddy and forgive me her last name,
escape smooth. She was our trampolinist at the Olympics. I
actually came seventh at the Olympics. I think I met
her in the green room. Yes, very small, very small, yeah, small,
all those gymnasts. Yeah, well they need they need a
command of their body in the air, and the big
(11:19):
ure I find the heart of that becomes okay, I reckon.
I mean you sounds like to me.
Speaker 3 (11:25):
I don't know the result until Thursday night, eight thirty,
Sky Open, Sky Sport.
Speaker 1 (11:30):
You guys be paying White dollar five. Yeah, yeah, a
dollar five.
Speaker 3 (11:34):
I think that's a powerful lineup, yes, even just physically
quite a powerful lineup.
Speaker 1 (11:38):
Well, we were saying like, if we packed the scrum
down against them, we're bliterate. Oh absolutely. I mean you
got Maconie mcconi would hold up one side, yeah Maconi yeah,
and then pull Medi would be up against Egs and
that's only going one way. Yeah, you'd have Street and
Tony Lyland in the middle, good old fashioned Tony off yeah,
Tony crime. But what I wanted to do there it
(12:00):
was at the end and in the end the producer said,
this is a bit of a spoiler, but I wanted
to get Maddy to do a backflip, you know, in
the middle of where they do where they usually do
the charades. She was she was up for it, but
the producers like she's and heels, we can't badass, so
she's done it on heels. I was asking her, like,
whipped the heels off, whipped the heels off. I think
(12:20):
it was just a real osh occupational saffed in health.
Speaker 3 (12:24):
It's one of those things because I always you watch
those you know, I get fit obviously, just Instagram reels
of people barely injuring themselves. There's those people trying to
attempt a flip and just landing square on the top
of the head.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah. But I was saying to her, like she's an
Olympic athlete, she'd better she would nail it. Yeah, But
I was asking her, like drinking you could train Angus
taval to do a backflip, Like what was the biggest
human being? Because I had a flatmate who at the
time it was about one hundred and forty kilos and
he wanted to train himself to be the largest human
being to do a standing backflip. He never did do it.
(12:58):
Two bottom heavy. I think he couldn't get the can
get rotation and whip with them around. But she said
she because she lives in christ she went and trained
with the Crusaders boys and she a couple of them
could do it, and they are about one hundred kilos,
so she's like, big boys can do it. I would
love to see her train. Probably not me, but oh
my god, yeah, i'd break my neck. Oh yeah, you're
(13:21):
practicing that phone pit. They don't you a little bit? Yeah?
I said, what's the hardest part. She's like, just committing
the fear of being us over to it. Yeah. So yeah.
Tune in eight thirty on Thursday, find out if Anker
Star Vulcans do a backflip or not. And Tony Street,
you'll never look at it the same you again, you
will needther of three, mother of three, beloved host of
(13:45):
Coast Breakfast, also seven sharp. She feels it on Breakfast
from time to time. You will never be able to
look at Tony Street the same after you watch this episode,
and just quickly before we take a break. On This
Day and History, a segment that if every podcast radio
show does except for us. But I did want to
address something today. The six o'clock Swill ended on this
(14:06):
day in nineteen sixty seven. It's obviously neither of us
old enough to remember it, but it's echoed through the
five years of It's basically that is what. That is
why we're such good binge drinkers. Yeah, that is why.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
And it stems from the six o'clock swell when the
pubs closed at six yeah, and at five to six
everyone would order three jugs each yeah, and smash those
before they got home.
Speaker 1 (14:28):
And they apparently they had like a fifteen minute grace
period if you'd already ordered one, yeah, then you've got
enough time to finish it. And in the end, like
we keept saying, every time you go overseas, you come back,
you're like, fuck, we love a rule here. Well, this
was you know, one of the one of the all timers. Well,
this role here.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Allegedly I had it there so so that mainly men
would go home and have dinner with their families and
stay home with their families, not stay at the booze
booze are all night.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
All it did was make guys drink fucking hard for
an hour between five and six and go home wasted
and then turf them out into the neighborhood.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
Just blind drunk. And in the end, what I overturned
it was when tourism started coming in and all these
places were like, we can't serve a beer worth dinner.
So these tourists that are coming through it and they're
hating it, it's like, okay, fine, we'll do it. And
all of a sudden it runs back to the pub
prohibition was so there was there's a pub just outside
of Omoru that I can't remember what it's called, but
(15:27):
it was right on the boundary of Omorus. So it
was like, I forget what they call them. There was
I think every town had one of these, and because
there was prohibition in the town, speak easy basically speak easy.
There's another way for another name for it. Can't remember
we didn't have we didn't have we didn't really have
prohibition and us no certain sections, Yeah, in towns were
(15:48):
just like, look we can't. And so there you will
find like the outskirts of each of these towns pub
right there, mainly mining towns and stuff like that, wasn't it. Yeah? Yeah,
on this dand history. In nineteen sixty seven, the six
o'clock swell ended, and god, it feels like we're going
back that way, doesn't it. Yeah. Well, I'm proud to
say we're still following that binge drinking tradition, so had
(16:11):
to get rid of all right, this take quick air break.
We'll come back and talk some sport. We're talking yesterday
about Hoskins Satutu missing out on the All Blacks selection.
He's been thrown. I wouldn't say a lifeline, but I
guess he's kind of being strung along a little bit
because he's been selected in the All Blacks fifteen. Well,
I guess you had to. You had to pick him
(16:31):
in the fifthe if he was available. Yeah, and look,
if I was Hosking Satutu. This is a way to
get over to Europe and do a few interviews. Great idea.
I paid for trips to Europe.
Speaker 3 (16:41):
He's going to Ireland and he's playing Georgia I think.
But he's in the neck of the woods. It's just
a euro Star over to pay.
Speaker 1 (16:48):
Yeah, you know what I mean. You know what I'm saying. Yeah,
So do you do it over to London? Yeah, have
had a couple of caps of coffee. Yeah, I meet
a few people, some old mates. Yeah. So good on him.
You know he'll go over there, use that opportunity. But
quite I don't know. If did you see Ricky Ricattelly.
Speaker 3 (17:03):
Didn't make the make the team, and the excuse from
the coach was unlucky.
Speaker 1 (17:10):
That's what it was. He's just unlucky. Yeah, It's like, okay,
was it luck of the draw? Was it? Was it
just a lucky dip of all the hookers and you out.
I feel for him a little bit because he's one
of those things you can't so hold on. The coach
presumably is the selecting mcmellan, Clayton McMillan, Presumably he had
(17:30):
to say, and who just come out and said, he's
just unlucky. You don't get if you're the selector, you
don't get this, that's unlucky. You made the decision. Yeah,
that's what I mean. Was it if they said there
were so many good hookers, we put their names in
a hat, we drew them out, and unluckily he wasn't picked. Yeah,
we rolled a dice face And I don't know that
you can't. I wouldn't be able to stomach that if
(17:51):
I was Ricky. Rick got four tries in the weekend. Yeah,
and it's like, it's not luck. You made the decision. Yeah,
you decided. If it was a panel of selectors and
Clayton McMillan had nothing to do with it. Then I accept,
oh you were unlucky. But that's like no, no, no, you
you did it. Great game. So he needs to make
you all black. So I need to call a game
where we've got Ricky Rickettellian Is that on his birth certificate? Ricky?
Speaker 4 (18:15):
Well?
Speaker 1 (18:16):
Because my my dad was in the army for about
a decade, and obviously an army everyrun's nickname is the
last name, Yeah, so everyone called him Stu Yeah, and
that carried on. Most of my friends know I'm as
stew genuinely. When I was about thirty years old, one
of my mates, who I've known since I was four
years old comes to me, He goes, is your dad's
name actually ste Stewart. I was like, no, it's Warren.
(18:41):
What do you mean stew stew And of course it's
fucking not. I wonder if we'll find that out about
Ricky Rickattelli. My auntie's name is Linda Linda Lane. She
married mary Lynn. No, yeah, Linda Lyn, Lenda Lyne Linda Lynn.
That sounds like a pop star. And then mary Lyn's
(19:01):
brother also married a Linda and there was two, Linda
Linz on the scene. It's fuck wild, that is wild.
I went to school with a brother and sister whose
parents had the same last name before they were married.
And yes, they were from Southland. Do your own research.
(19:22):
Let's get away from this. Let's take an air Oh no,
we just took an air break. I'm just desperately trying
to get out of the in allegations. So we talked
yesterday about the Kiwi squad been named the Kangaroo's Squad's
been named for. The Australian teams were Tong and Samour
have pretty impressive teams. Also, Charles Nicol clock Stead yesterday
was interviewed and they asked him about Mitch Barnett back
(19:44):
in the Ossie team and he said, yeah, yeah, I
text Mitch and I said, cogratz bro, and Mitch replied,
I'm not your bro. There's so much Barney. Yeah, because
you've obviously got a oh my god, very close relationship
with him. Ty. I don't know if anyone's got a
close relationship Mitch, but I've met him once that we
interviewed him, and he is the most intimidating man I've
(20:05):
ever been in a room with. You just didn't know
if at any moment he was just going to snap
and kill you. Like he's just and I know that's
his personality, Like that's what he finds funny. Has just
been straight, yeah and dry. And I think he's aware
of how he looks, you know, like he looks like
an intimidating and so I think he finds that shit funny.
But I love that I'm not your bro. And for
(20:27):
the next few weeks he's not. He's not apparently. Jerome
Hughes were talking yesterday, JESU. If he's out, we're in deep,
deep trouble. Apparently he should be sweet to play good.
He's got a bug neck apparently, but doesn't need surgery.
They've in a couple of weeks and then he should
be right. This is the injury list at the end
of the NFL season for going into the international window.
(20:49):
Dylan Brown he did his ACL, so Mighty Martin's got
a neck issue. Karen Foren's fifty years old, Brandon Smith
did his ACL and Jeremy Marshall King's also got to
bug now, so that all unavailable and they would all
probably just about start. We play Ossie on October the
twenty seventh in christich Ye at Apollo Stadium, and then
(21:12):
November two we played Tongue at Go Hard Stadium. To
be loose, go Hard Tongue a game, stay off the motors.
Oh my god. We should start printing tongue flags now, Yeah,
we should. We're gonna make I remember in that World Cup.
It brought the city to its knees because they were
they were stopping on the motorway and hopping out and
(21:32):
like partying on the motorway. I got stuck behind a
van that had built a wooden frame work on top
of us so that it could fit more flags onto it.
I legitimately saw a car with a tongue and flag
over the winds full wrecky Bobby, and now we're just
looking at a slit at the bottom. Yeah, that is
(21:54):
a cultural thing. If you've ever been to the islands,
they will plaster the stickers all across the wind screens,
have like bobble heads and shit all across the dashboard,
and all they need is just that little just a
little slip. They to look through two holes for their
eyes to go through. So yeah, start printing the flags now.
But with all those injuries in the NRL and how
(22:17):
grueling the season's been. It gave me an idea, and
it is a Wednesday, so I thought now as good
a time as any for a half baked sports idea.
Speaker 2 (22:24):
Half baked sports idea.
Speaker 1 (22:28):
I've actually got two. I'll get to the Sycon one
at the end, but the and I think I've seen
something similar to this, but it's popped up again at
the end of this season. The NRAL season is too long.
The players are complaining that it's too long. It's too
grueling a sport. It's not like basketball where you could
play three games in a week. You know, every year
when the NRL starts up, it's like Jesus Christ, they're
(22:48):
going to do this for how long? Thirty one weeks
is how long they have to play for more than
half the year. It's it's ridiculous. So I reckon we
move to an NFL schedule. We're each team plays every
other team once. Yeah, seventeen teams of the camp. So
if you play every other team once, that's sixteen weeks.
I think eight weeks into the season, stop down and
(23:10):
we have a three week break for Origin, so you've
got obviously Origin New South Wales versus Queensland. Then Kiwis,
Somemore and Tonga play a tri series concurrently alongside that. Ye,
so we play Tonga the first week, we play some
More the next week, the third week they play each
other and then it's just like a we do country
of origin, they do state of Origan. Yeah that's right. Yeah,
(23:31):
Because what's confusing me is I guess it's a tear situation.
But you cannot play for the Kiwis and play origin. No,
you can't play for some More or Tonga, yes and
play origin. That's confusing. Well that isn't it saying with
a Tier one nation.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
But you can't tell me Tonga is not knocking on
the door of a Tier one nation.
Speaker 1 (23:48):
Well it is now yeah yeah, I mean you look
at the squad that they've gone. They are at the gate. Yeah,
so yeah, it's a strange rule. Yeah, although if they
weren't allowed to play, if the Origin players weren't allowed
to play for Tonga, may and someone may weaken them.
But anyway, so then you've got a three week thing there.
If you don't make the rep team, that's three weeks
(24:09):
of rece which is just going to make the back
end of the season so much better. And you may
actually need that three week break to be a little
later in the season, like it might be fifteen weeks
in or something like that. But what that would mean
is the whole season takes nineteen weeks and that includes
a mid season international window.
Speaker 3 (24:27):
Okay, so you okay, So are you saying halfway through
that sixteen week yeah, season, you have the stopdown yeah,
okay for.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
Three weeks, yeah, halfway, or it might be twelve weeks in,
it might be fifteen I don't know wherever, somewhere in there.
And now in that you have the the goalkicking competition.
You have one hundred meters sprint, which, by the way,
there was all this chat about how they were going
to do one hundred meter sprint this year in the
NARL and they never did, so you put all that
stuff in there. The other thing about it, I know
(24:58):
they'd be against it because it's less revenue, fewer games,
but it makes each game mean so much. In the NFL.
The thing that's so dramatic about it is that it's
only a sixteen game season, so every win and every
loss dramatically changes your season. It also means with like
three weeks left in the season, you can come back,
(25:18):
whereas in the NFL, with like six weeks left in
the season, there are teams who cannot make the playoffs anymore,
and so they just start benching players and blah blah blah.
I like it.
Speaker 3 (25:28):
Yeah, you've had some really stupid ideas in the past.
How many years you've been doing this halfback sports idea?
But that's actually it is a really good one. Unfortunately,
it is flawed in the fact that they'll never do
less games.
Speaker 1 (25:40):
No, I'll only ever do more because that's what ten
fewer games per team, one hundred and seventy.
Speaker 3 (25:45):
Few Yeah, that's one hundred opportunities for sale, advertising on
a broadcast to a game.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
It just means so much more. I mean, yeah, well, yeah,
the well I like it though.
Speaker 3 (25:57):
I like the stopdown, like the stop down where you
can play an international window, because if you're right going
through that injury list. In the NRL, players are just
surviving if they can. If they can still play with
a saw neck and then get it operated on in
the season, they'll do it, yeah, And which means that
when those internationals come, they're like, what's more important me
being right for next year or playing for Kiwi's and
(26:20):
you'd have to say it's getting right for next season
because Kiwis aren't paying your mortgage.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
That's right, That's exactly right. And so yeah, I just
think the other part is and I don't think anyone's
done it, but I wouldn't be surprised if, say you've
got a name. I mean, players do get risted for
the odd week, you know, like towards the end of
the season. The Melbourne Storm will risk players the roosters,
but again that's in the season. They know they're in
the top eight though they know they're that's right, so
they and I think the shortened season would change that.
(26:46):
But I don't think we're too far away from like
Nathan clear are getting shut down for six weeks if
they know the suite, you know. I don't think that's
what's happened this year, although look back at the last
sort of two three years he has missed the sixth
week stretch and then come back for the last two
games of the season.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
I guess if the well being of the players as well. Yeah,
the whole CTE issue hasn't seemed to have cause the
ruckus and league where maybe he should but really papering
over it. Yeah, they are where it seems to be
Rugby and NFL seemed to be taking put a lot
of the heat on the CTE situation.
Speaker 1 (27:17):
Yeah, League are kind of like, yeah, like, oh look
at this guy. Didn't need do some wacky ship this year.
It's like, yeah, yes, he has brain as much. Of
course he's doing dumb ship. Of course, he's hosting a
barbecue in lockdown and then hiding under the bed with
the cops show up. What do you mean because he's
because he's winging in his own mouth in the airine
all of course simulating X with dogs. But anyway, Yeah,
(27:39):
that's my half bag sports idea. I think it would
be so dramatic. Every week would just be this massive.
It would genuinely feel when when the Warriors play, it
would feel.
Speaker 3 (27:47):
Like the All Blacks and it'll be yeah, they're playing
for their for their lives every week every week.
Speaker 1 (27:52):
Yeah, it'll be It'll be incredible and just quickly a
little bonus half bag sports idea. November Fist just like
October Fist, except the November Let's go back not really
it not quote, I've only just come right, I've just
like I was talking to Jerry this morning.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
I'm like, I feel like I'm back. Yeah, my sinuses
have cleared, I haven't got a cough. I'm not aching
the Bavarian I think is clear of me.
Speaker 1 (28:20):
Okay, yeah, I reckon. I'm about a day away. I'm
still coughing up along.
Speaker 3 (28:24):
Both my parents got COVID though, so I feel like
I may have given them the Bavarian.
Speaker 1 (28:29):
The Covid Bavarian. Just quickly before we take a break,
you can become the next Snacker Chani Sports Scholarship winner
if you want to. And by the way, this thing
that's changing lives by texting Chip to three two three
six to go in the drawer to win the Ultimate
acc Price pack. But I know what you're thinking, what
the fuck is in it? Well, I've made a video
explaining all the things that are in it, and there
(28:50):
are a few things in there that we couldn't outright
say or not, but it's obvious. But it's obvious. Basically
something to wash down all those Snacker Chani's. That's right.
This podcast proudly to you by expert Ultra the Beer

Speaker 4 (29:27):
Okay, cops, Jake here from Merely Station, Mid Canterbury.
Speaker 1 (29:29):
I'm back, gotta come clean.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
I grew up in North Otago in a little place
called Cora. Well we do play Richard Mccaora is our own.
We're going to statue of him. It's made of cardboard.
Trying to raise funds for a real statue.
Speaker 1 (29:42):
Still has an appen.
Speaker 4 (29:43):
Anyway, Yo, what I'm and I you been Mid Canbury.
You're South Canterbury. No name wounders, So I'll shout your
cold dB this time. I see you fuck South Canbary.
Except for Elliot, who loves pretty close to here.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It good. That's a good little exception there. We want
to piss off Eckerdia. Nah he does somewhere in the
McKinsey country, which is dangerously close to to Mid Canary.
So yeah, you wouldn't you really wouldn't want to. I
think the quarterfinals are starting in Hutland as well this
(30:16):
weekend as well. Yeah, everyone's a knockout stage I think.
I believe so. Yeah, so I believe We've been invited
down to go and to go and watch them again.
It's just so hard to get to tomorrow. I've always
said this. It is easier for me to get to
Uppier than it is for me to get home to
South Camp. It most easier to get to Dubai. Yeah,
that's all of them. It's one flight. Yeah, it's to
(30:38):
get to Tims. I got to go Auckland Wellington, two
hour layover in Wellington then if the flight's not canceled,
Wellington to tomorrow, and it's often canceled, so then you're
just in Wellington. How long is it drives? Not too
far though, if you go walk and christ you grab
a jump in a car. Yeah, drives about three hours probably. Yeah.
(30:58):
It's like when people, well people, when I tell Aucklanders,
I never tell them from why Medi because I don't
know where that is. I tell them I'm from South Canterbury.
They're like, oh Hornby, No, that's South Krusts it. I
can understand the confusion there because that's for a long
long time. That's what I thought as well.
Speaker 3 (31:14):
Yeah, and I thought because in North Canterbury, I thought
was just north, just north of Yeah.
Speaker 1 (31:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (31:21):
And it wasn't until actually, I'll be honest with you,
it wasn't until my recent holiday down there that I
realized how big region is and the fact that you've
got Mid Canterbury, Canterbury, Mid Cannibury, North Canby, South Canterbury.
And we spent our whole time in South Canterbury and
we were driving two hours at a time.
Speaker 1 (31:38):
Yeah, two three hours at a time. We still had to
live South Caniburry and you don't see a person for
an hour. Yeah it is. Well, yesterday we were superimposing
the New Zealand Matt. We found this website. We can
drag it over other places because we always feel like
we're this tiny little country. I come off the back
of the Mega mine down there in Maracopo. Who's there
(31:59):
was a sighting of her and the top comment was like,
New Zealand's a small country. How come we can't find them?
I don't know, we're not we have a small population.
But the South Island is the size of the entire UK.
We are bigger than Japan yeap land wise, we are
the length of the eastern seaboard of the United States. Sit. Yeah,
(32:22):
so it has We are not a small country, just
not a lot of US. And South Canada sorry not
South can Canterbury is like the wider Canary is half
of the South Island. It's basically the entirety of Scotland
plus plus more. Yeah. So, yeah, there's a big basard
of it. And like that drive from christ Schuster tomorrow,
Oh jeez, that is just straight and boring. Yeah, I reckon.
(32:46):
There's a lot of crashes on the one corner that
there is. Yeah, well, I reckon. The majority of the
speeding that happens in this country happens on mid Canterbury
roads because they are all dead straight. Yes, and so
it's just like, oh, let's see how fast the care
sportage can go. See if we can get this thing
off this spot. Is that the car of choice? No,
(33:08):
that was the car that we drove around Omar. It's
just the first one the car. No, no, no. Most
of the farmers down there will have a like a
either a malou you know those v eight Holden uts.
Oh yeah, bright green ones. Or they'll have an old
Kingswood or something in the in the garage and when
they get the opportunity, they will open the taps on
their basket somewhere around MD Canbury. But anyway, go well,
(33:31):
mid Camp. I presume they're not in the quarterfinals. Mid Canterbury,
terrible part of the country. Can't imagine they're produce any
good rugby players. So and good to hear that that
guy made it out of kuro and all the way
to ealing station. So shout out to Jake. Let's knock
this thing on the hedge for today tomorrow. Matt Heath
has agreed to come back onto the podcast. Well we
(33:52):
haven't lost him forever.
Speaker 3 (33:54):

because I can tell that he's he's chomping at the
on z B and even rang me this morning and
he he rattled off some horrific comments and I said,
are you bringing me just to get these off your
chest so you don't say it on any Yoh fuck, Yeah,
