Live from the Export Beer Garden studio that has been
transported a mystery creek for the Field Days. This is
the Agenda Podcast for Wednesday the twelfth, a.
Speaker 2 (00:07):
Journeys The Agenda Podcast, the home of sporting nonsense.
Speaker 3 (00:12):
And claf trap, brought to you by Export a Vulture. Well,
welcome into the Gender Podcast.
Speaker 1 (00:19):
Live from Field Days, as we mentioned, and live also
from the Snacker Chaney Chip stall at the Field Days.
Speaker 4 (00:26):
Oh yeah, yeah, that's right. We're in the pantry at
the Field Days. This is the rural week of weeks,
the days of days that have nights of nights. Every
single anyone who's associated with the rural industry is here,
including Snack Chaney as.
Speaker 1 (00:40):
Hill Billy super Bowl and it's a real honor and
a privilege to be down here. We are dressed to
the nines. Yeah, potentially overdressed. We've already been chairped as well.
Great fashion ar You've been chipped. I have been chipped.
I was a TV one reporter. I think Allzy news
Hope on her double windsack. He we were just walking
around the field and lay on YouTube. Herman said, oh
(01:03):
how come you're not dressed up for the occasion. Then
he turned around and pointed out that my gum boots
are actually spotless clean. Yeah, I'm gonna be honest with you.
I actually bought these and so happy last year. We're
driving around a at that we gave away at the
halftime show. This is probably the second time these have
been worn. And it did cross my mind this morning
to steal my missus gumboots because they're dirty, because I
know it's a massive faux pa to turn up and
clean gum boots.
Speaker 4 (01:24):
It's also the gum boots thing. I mean, the last
time I came to the field days here at Mister Creek.
You know, I'm born and bred from in the Tron
and we used to come when we were kids, and
it used to be an absolute bog. Yeah, it was
basically like walking through a paddock and ankle deep mud,
and so gum boots were compulsory. But it's come a
long way in the last twenty five years, and the
(01:45):
streets are tar seal, the streets are packed with gold,
paved with gold that you don't need gum boots. As
soon as we put our gun boots on and we
thought we'd fit in, I walked in and it took
me fifteen minutes to find some other people in gum boot.
Speaker 1 (01:58):
No, everyone's got sneakers. There's a lady walking past us
right now with pink bright pink shoes on his lips
on the side. She just teared that into a pink
side bag. That's not rural or is that a rural
day out? It feels to me like it might be
a rural day out. She's also going to a name
Bear John. I think she's working here.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
She's a Carol. She's Carol.
Speaker 1 (02:14):
I just seen she's a Carol, as we said at
the Snacker Changey store. So Lee Hart is here and
he's dishing out vinegar and salt chips to the masses.
He's getting absolutely water boarded by over one that comes
past them.
Speaker 3 (02:26):
He has a Snacker Changy themed swan dry on. I know.
He said it's scratchy though. We'll have it. We'll have
a chat to him later on. Yeah, we were in
the potty, but.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Great deal down here at the Snacker change not an ad,
but you can get I think five bags of chips,
a bag and a Snacker.
Speaker 3 (02:41):
Chang your hat here twenty hark.
Speaker 1 (02:42):
Yeah, that's a reasonable deal if you're coming down to
the Field Days again. This is not an ad, but yes,
we'll grab yourself and grab yourself a deal.
Speaker 3 (02:49):
I'll come down and check it out.
Speaker 1 (02:51):
I think my first observation of coming down to the
Field Days today is that we got lost immediately, And
my second observation was so did everyone else?
Speaker 3 (03:00):
Yes, there was it.
Speaker 4 (03:01):
I find it easier to navigate the London Underground van
Mystery Creek because there every there's just a truck, like
a truck or a tractor stand. Every there's no street signs.
They're written on the ground on the floor and it's letters,
so K L M and someone going meet you on
the corner of L and M.
Speaker 3 (03:19):
And I'm like, I'm no, I don't know why. That's
what that is? Is episode the v Hoff Saul, where
are we going with this?
Speaker 4 (03:25):
I must have met Also, Field Days has this kind
of pine chip scent about it, like it's almost like
a sandalwood smell, because every stall has about I reckon
ten to twenty cubic meters of chip, yes, underneath it.
I mean, how many pinus radiata I had to die
(03:47):
for this Field Days.
Speaker 3 (03:48):
I've had to clear out a few paddocks to get
this one going.
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I think, I'm sure it's all going to be reused
for carving in the spring. Being sure, yep, things like that.
Sustainability is such a focus of the rural community. But this,
like I said, as we look out right now, grated,
we are inside one of the stalls, one of the
sort of sheds, but it is bumper to bumper traffic.
People are absolutely everywhere.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Also, another thing you mentioned around field days is obviously
gum boots are crucial, preferably dirty, but prizes.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Prizes everywhere.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
Free shit that is the hallmark of any amp show,
and particularly the field days.
Speaker 3 (04:25):
There is so much free shit. People have bags.
Speaker 1 (04:27):
Look, this guy over here has got three plastic bags,
massive like duffle bag sized bags, full of shit, full
of free shit. It is as we record this quarter
to one in the afternoon, this.
Speaker 4 (04:37):
Guy here has got two inflatable hammers sticking out of
his bag. What's he doing with them? Like he's thirteen
years old. You don't need an inflatable hammer.
Speaker 1 (04:45):
Somewhere around here will be a carnival that will be
plying their trade, and he is one presumably, you know,
usually that's one for you, your partner or your care okay,
but he obviously sands partner, sands kids. So he's just
walking around with an inflatable hammer in his bag. The stockstick,
which is out april of any any agricultural show as
out in full force.
Speaker 3 (05:04):
You actually tried to steal one off a party. I
didn't try and steal one.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
You know, everyone knows what the kid it's the orange
kettle browed from Gallagher's. It was lying in the sawdust,
it was, and I looked around, no one was around,
and I picked it up and I said I got mine,
and unfortunately described as a heavily autistic gentleman made a
beeline for me and said, excuse me, sir, may I
have my stick? And I'm like, yeah, of course you can't, mate.
(05:31):
He was frantic. Oh my, but he obviously lift it there.
I just picked it up, and I got accused of
stealing it. I was I didn't steal it, mate, I
just picked it up off the chip. You've left it
here and by the way, them free. So just relaxed
a little bit. Just calm down, mate. But I am
now officially twenty two QR codes deep on every stand
because he got the QR code. You're into it you
(05:52):
give them your data and then you go on the
drawer to when like a bag of jelly.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
Beans or something hamper van for a week. Yeah like that.
So I'm looking to hit the hit the HONDI.
Speaker 4 (06:03):
I'm looking to raise the bat and the helmet here
at the field Days, I'm going to enter at least
one hundred. I've got my I've got my competition email.
Do you have the competition email? No, because you got
you usually got your professional work one, yes, and then
a personal one and then a personal one. I've got
my competition one. So basically I opt.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
In for everything, everything I OpEd in on, and I
put it into that sixty Gmail.
Speaker 4 (06:26):
Yeah, yeah, big foroury sixty nine at Gmail.
Speaker 3 (06:29):
How do you know that? I know you will. It's
my that's my competition one.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
So today at the field Day's big forty sixty nine
at Gmail is going to enter. I'm going to hit
the HONDI. I'm going to raise the helmet and the bat. Yeah,
stocks Dirk to everyone and the geese cut out.
Speaker 3 (06:45):
And I do it every time. I do it at
the boat show and I have not won a single thing.
Speaker 1 (06:48):
So no, but that is another hallmark of the field Days.
It's entering as many competitions as you possibly can. Yeah,
and then, like you say, you inevitably spend the next
couple of months just deleting emails trying to find the
fucking unsubscribed thing. Haven't the emails are going to send me.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
That's why you need a competition email. It's the way forward.
But the Snacky CHENI stand here, is going off and
I'm going to have a go on the claw machine.
They've got a Snacker Chaney claw machine where you can
have a hornet, you know, plooring some some chips, catch
a changy.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
It's called catch a cheney. I don't mind that on
a catch a chany. He's dropping it from a drone.
Oh that is even more terrifying trying to catch that.
Speaker 3 (07:24):
Oh no, you can win the drone. I don't know.
Speaker 4 (07:26):
I don't know what's going on. It is heaving there.
The bags are flying out, Leehart. He is pushing chips
like no one's pushed chips in his life. He's just
digging into the salt and vinegars. He's biffing them to
the crowd. He looks dangerously hot in that Snacker Chaney's
swan dry as well.
Speaker 1 (07:40):
He does, he's been absolutely pinned down. We're in the
corner of the Bleederslow shed and it's just absolute bedlam.
Speaker 3 (07:48):
He couldn't get out of here if he tried.
Speaker 1 (07:49):
As I said, it's quarter for one in the afternoon
and it's already just absolutely heaving. One of my favorite
things that I mentioned at the top is the fashion
show yes at the at the Field days, because it
really is. There's people who they want to wear their
Sunday biss yep, because they're going into town. A lot
a lot of these guys it's their first time off FUM.
(08:11):
A lot of other guys want to make it look
like they couldn't give a ship that they hear, ye,
and so they'll wear their work clothes yep, just to
let people know, Hey, I actually do you know I
work on the land.
Speaker 3 (08:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
And then here we are with clean gun boots and
soft hands.
Speaker 3 (08:24):
Don't they couldn't swing an act. Don't don't do.
Speaker 4 (08:26):
Not bespirch my All Blacks branded gum boots that have
seen action in the backyard mowing my tin meter square lawn.
Speaker 1 (08:33):
Okay to say they are a little bit dirty, but
it's not dirt, it's such is it.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
It's it's grass.
Speaker 4 (08:38):
But don't you don't, don't you know come at me
with that people in glasshouses. We did have to give
up our blazers and our seay the ships for a
cheese cutter in a Swanye.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
I'm sweeting here as well. It is so hot in here.
There's a floral orange camouflage. Ye, he doesn't care. He's
just finish hunting. Yes he is.
Speaker 4 (08:58):
That guy's selling drugs with front the front, fanny package
across the front.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
He's got the side bag. He's also got fingerless gloves.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
Oh, he looks like Coyle Mills. He looks like a
rural Coyle Mills. Yeah, does it a little bit?
Speaker 1 (09:09):
And then a bright white Nike cap with a silver
thing on it. One of my favorite things as we're
standing here is you can spot the Lee Heart fans
they walk by.
Speaker 4 (09:19):
Spotted them, and there's a couple of boys over there.
I've spotted them. They don't want to come over just yet.
Speaker 3 (09:23):
Abiding that time before they punish them.
Speaker 4 (09:26):
He's getting chirped, and he's getting chirped. New jobs. Your
new job is it selling hips?
Speaker 5 (09:30):
Is?
Speaker 3 (09:30):
Like, yep, it is.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
We've only seen half of the stalls so far, what's
spent your favorite that you've seen?
Speaker 4 (09:36):
I must admit there was a cow feeding operation and
to show the flow within the cow feeder, the car feeder,
they put thousands of beer pong balls in there, colorful beer,
and then there swirling around was mesmerized.
Speaker 1 (09:50):
It was mesmerizing. I presume you could pick one of
those out and win a prize.
Speaker 3 (09:54):
It was I don't know.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
I didn't see, but I presume that that's a big
part of the culture is winning prizes.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
So you have to you'd have to think, so you
you anyone, anyone stick out for you?
Speaker 1 (10:04):
Again, not an ad but the ag rebalance, the balance
agri nutrients. Tell me he was heaving at about ten
o'clock when we got here, and I can only presume
that they're in there talking about agricultural nutrients at ten
o'clock in the morning. That was just absolutely going off.
I couldn't really understand why, because you walk in there,
they're not serving beer or anything.
Speaker 4 (10:24):
No, I think it was free food. This my stranger
sight so far was seeing a gentleman get his his
prosthetic leg reattached by his mate and he was in
the middle of the park and it wasn't a wheelchair.
It was like a little cotability scooter. Try to try
it was like a tricycle. And he was sitting back
and his mate was just pounding way and I was like,
(10:46):
like he was ramming a fence bus.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Yeah, and he was ramming his fake leg back on
and he.
Speaker 1 (10:51):
And everyone was just walking parts like that was normally
powerful stuff. Wait, as I said, we've only seen half
of what there is, not even that seats. So after
this podcast we're going to go and have a look
around a little bit more. You can see all of
that stuff on the Instagram story. I think we're going
to take a quick break here, so if we can't
wrangle Lee Heart to come and have a yarn and
explain what he's up to.
Speaker 4 (11:11):
You talk about a sport, maybe he should We cover
off any sport. We'll cover off a bit day, isn't
it right? We'll do sport first, then we'll try and
wrestle Lee Heart. So quick break, we'll be right back.
So in the world of sport playing, there's plea going on.
Speaker 1 (11:24):
There's a Cricket World Cup, Super Rugby's into the semi finals.
Speaker 3 (11:27):
Shawn Johnson's back.
Speaker 1 (11:28):
We'll get to all of that, But the biggest story
that I wanted to cover off is that Joey Chestnut
has been banned from the Nathan's.
Speaker 3 (11:35):
Hot Dog Eating contest.
Speaker 1 (11:37):
He's a fourteen time champion of that event, and it's
something to do with the sponsored debacle.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Yeah, he has.
Speaker 4 (11:43):
He has taken on a sponsorship from a vegan hot
dog and it has rocked the.
Speaker 3 (11:50):
Competitive eating world.
Speaker 4 (11:51):
And he has been banned from the July fourth of July,
the Classic American hot Dog eating competition, throwing out unceremoniously
because he has now been sponsored by a vegan hot
dog manufacturer, which just shows how passionate they are are.
Speaker 1 (12:10):
Anti yeah, anti vegan. So he's released a statement on Instagram.
Very dis wanted to learn from the media today, didn't
even get contacted directly that after nearly twenty years, I'm
banned from Nathan's Fourth of July hot Dog Eating Counties.
I love competing at that event. I've been trained to
defend my title because Kobe Yashi retired the other day,
so that's his main widow. Yeah, he said, rest assured
(12:32):
that you will see me eat again soon. Stay tuned,
and stay hungry. I think I think this works itself
out before the fourth of July, don't you.
Speaker 4 (12:40):
It has to because you can't. You can't kick him
out just because he's sponsored. He's not going to get
on stage and just eat vegan sausages. So he's going
to have to smash the vegan hotties. Yeah, he's not gonna.
But just because of a sponsorship deal, it's all political.
Speaker 3 (12:53):
Man.
Speaker 4 (12:53):
How I want to hair trigger is Nathan's fourth of
July hot dog eating competition.
Speaker 1 (12:58):
I don't think they realize how much they need him.
That's gone global because of him.
Speaker 4 (13:02):
That Vegan Sausage company, I don't even who they are,
but I'm talking about them and their hot dog company.
That is the greatest sponsorship of an athlete, that's right
of all time.
Speaker 1 (13:11):
And I think they've got their bank for buck. They'll
probably milk it. What's the date today, the twelfth. I've
got another two weeks to milk this. Yeah, and then
after that they go, all right, we've had our love,
we've got our carverage, jumped them, we've done them. Oh
sensational them. It doesn't meet our brand guidelines anymore. So
we've done them. He's now free to participate. Then they
make good afterwards, after he wins his fifteenth title, Yep,
(13:33):
fills it up again. I think Joe Chestnut, they can't
have that competition without him.
Speaker 3 (13:38):
I love Joe Chestnut in the fact that he knows
how to find a headline.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Remember when he dropped head locked and dropped that protester Vada. Yeah,
last year he was talking about, oh, God knows what.
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Smithfield's death though apparently I don't know what that's about.
But yeah, mid competition, he's got a mouthful of Glizzie
and he's uh, and he's choking Darth Vader out. He's,
like I said, he that competition is nothing without Joe Chestnut.
I couldn't name the second person he beat last.
Speaker 3 (14:04):
Time, Matt Well here was.
Speaker 4 (14:06):
I think I might have misnamed Kobe Yashi the other
one because it was the Black Widow, who was the
female Japanese one. She was called the Black Widow. She
retired as well. So, but you know, maybe it's time
for someone else to come through the rink.
Speaker 3 (14:18):
We've lost a few great ones.
Speaker 5 (14:19):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (14:20):
I've always wondered with niche sports like this.
Speaker 1 (14:22):
I feel like the best athletes always end up in
the highest paying sports. So, for example, whoever won gold
at the Olympics last time. I don't think is the
highest jumper in the world. I think Lebron James would
probably beat him, but he gets paid a billion dollars
to go and play basketball in stit.
Speaker 3 (14:36):
Yeah, right.
Speaker 1 (14:36):
I wonder if an NFL alignment would beat Joey Chess
Joe chessa if he trained for it.
Speaker 4 (14:43):
I've had to say, yeah, if he trained, because I
think there's a skill in the one by two by
swallower water.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
Yes, like well, it would also be how much water
do you go?
Speaker 1 (14:51):
Because you don't want to fill up on water, As
anyone who's been to a buffet nose, you don't want
to fill up on breed or spuds.
Speaker 3 (14:56):
That's where they get you. That is where they get you.
You just want to go straight meat. I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:00):
It's something in the neighborhood of sixty odd hot dogs
that is to eat oh, to win that title. I
don't know how you would even qualify for that. I
don't know what the training is. It can't be too
intensive because none of them are fair. Yeah, that's why
I think they're belieming.
Speaker 4 (15:14):
Another inflatable hamm has just gone past here at the
field days.
Speaker 3 (15:17):
We need to go hit we do hey?
Speaker 4 (15:20):
World Cup T twenty World Cup news. Pakistan have finally
got a win on the board, the beating Canada by
seven wickets, as.
Speaker 1 (15:29):
They should, but also not a fullgone conclusion. The way
this World Cups got.
Speaker 4 (15:33):
No well, you know they made hard work of it.
They only got to those runs in the third to
last over. But in T twenty that's pretty comfortable. So
Pakistan keeping their chances slightly alive because if the USA
win the rest of their matches, then they are gone,
similar to New Zealand.
Speaker 1 (15:50):
Because who else is in their pool? Because it isn't
too farf okay, India put Pakistan in their own pool. Yeah,
I try and knock them out earlier, presume they beat.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
Them in the weekend in New York when India defeated
one hundred and nineteen.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
So New Zealand tomorrow at twelve thirty tomorrow are playing
West Indies.
Speaker 1 (16:10):
And this is due or die and it's so sad
to be that game two we already do a die.
My missus asked me on the couch last night, she goes,
how we going on.
Speaker 3 (16:17):
The Cricket World Cup? Do we suck? I was like, well, no, look,
we don't not yet. We don't suck. She goes to,
how did it go? Look, we did we lost? Okay,
she's like, who do I was.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Like Afghanistan, she goes, So the Taliban beat us in
game one and now we're already facing elimination against the
home team, which is one of the more ridiculous things.
Speaker 3 (16:36):
It's saying that.
Speaker 4 (16:37):
And you know, we gathered together with the Black Cap
supporter support group on the Sunday and we talked about it,
and we've been through this emotion before Eden World Cups.
We always scrape into the playoffs always. We never cruised
through the only time we ever cruised through was twenty
fifteen at home when we blitzed everyone. That is the
only time we have ever dominated. The rest of the
(16:58):
time we've relied on where there a bit of farting through,
but you know, no result here in the air.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
So look, all is not lost.
Speaker 4 (17:06):
However, we are playing the Westerndies at home at Trinida
and Tobago tomorrow at midday. If we lose that game,
we're all but done up pretty much. Because Afghanistan have
to beat I think they've already beaten Uganda and they
have to beat p up in New Guinea.
Speaker 3 (17:19):
Don't beat those guys.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
We will do, yes, But so it all ches on
the Windys. And even if we beat the Windys, couldn't
it still come down.
Speaker 4 (17:27):
To potentially yeah, because we were one three year could
be run rate run.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
Rate, which would just be absolutely disastrous. The only thing
that gives me any confidence is I've always said the
West Indies have the weakest home field advantage because it's
none of their homes. No, because the West Indies, I
don't know, if you've ever seen a map before, it's
not a country. It is a group of countries who
are all amalgamate only for crickets.
Speaker 4 (17:51):
That's why I think when West Indies line up for
their national anthem, yeah.
Speaker 3 (17:56):
It should be I don't lack crickett dens. I think
they're in.
Speaker 4 (18:01):
But it doesn't matter though, doesn't matter because how the
hell do you get an anthem that all of those countries,
of which half of them hate each other. Yes, So
the politics within West Indies creer is insane.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I reckon, I reckon.
Speaker 1 (18:13):
There's only one man that could unite all of them,
and that is Robert NESSA Marley.
Speaker 3 (18:18):
If they played Bob Marley. Yeah, that would be so
that would bring them together. You could play.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
They wouldn't even need an anthem. They play a different
song every time. They're just be doing the knees as well.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
One of them just scam in that a bucket hats on.
They throw their dreadlocks out.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
I think that's the only thing that could unite them.
And short of that, I don't see them having a
massive home advantage.
Speaker 3 (18:41):
Have they brought all of.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Their big guns for the Worlds up, because for the
last few years none of the main players have been
playing for the Wendy's.
Speaker 4 (18:48):
They're all there and they've got this dangerous left arm spinner,
as I mentioned the other day, can bowl this dangerous
arm ball which is almost an in swinging armball, and
he's got so many wickets so far and.
Speaker 3 (18:58):
I am terrified for Finelluen.
Speaker 4 (19:02):
He loves to back away and slash that through the covers.
And this guy he opens the bowling for the West
Indies and he is signed. He is he is designed
to clean bowl. Finale was made in a lab.
Speaker 1 (19:15):
What I have always wondered, because you know how if
you're a spin bowler, you can't just run in and
bowl pace randomness. You can you can, well you had
to like signal, you can't have to you're still right
arm over yeah right, I don't say right arm off spin.
So he's just I mean the cue is whether the
keeper suddenly goes twenty meters back it runs for the hills.
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Well.
Speaker 4 (19:34):
Famously, Dan Vettori injured himself in club cricket in Hamilton
bowling pace and he had to make up some injury
annyway here me talking about this, but he'd come steaming.
He was originally a pace bowler. Yes, broke his back
in a car accident at school.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
Are you driving? No comment?
Speaker 4 (19:52):
And and so he can actually bowl quite quick, and
so he decided to bowl at a pace in club
cricket and he ended up injuring himself out of action
for about three months.
Speaker 3 (20:02):
Oh, and had to make up some sort.
Speaker 4 (20:04):
Of heard heard it in the nets. And everyone's like nana.
He was playing for Star Varsity in Hamilton.
Speaker 1 (20:09):
Everyone's talking about it every single social media.
Speaker 4 (20:13):
Just I mean, if it happened now, some asshole would
have filmed it and put it and put it on
Facebook and.
Speaker 3 (20:18):
Be all over social media.
Speaker 1 (20:20):
Which I've got another off field NRL scandal yes, to
bring to your attention. Yes, I think we had a
sting for it, but because we're on the road, I
don't think we'll be able to play.
Speaker 3 (20:29):
But Adam can throw it in here.
Speaker 1 (20:30):
Adam chucking this thing here? Yeah, great, I've forgotten what
it was. Brandon Smith Key's hooker, Rooster's hooker. He has
been stood down this week.
Speaker 3 (20:43):
The cheese.
Speaker 1 (20:44):
The heckt the cheese because he plays like a runaway
block of cheese down at the old gloss of cheese roll,
which was just the other week last week. By the way,
he has been stood down this week. He will not
be playing for the Roosters. He missed a team meeting
and I don't think so he's The official story is
that he was out with family, celebrating with family. It
didn't realize that the meeting was on and that's why
(21:06):
he missed it. Did buy that at all. So he's
not playing with them next year. He's moving on.
Speaker 3 (21:10):
No, he has a extension.
Speaker 1 (21:12):
He's got another year option on his contract, which as
far as I believe, he has picked up. It's for
eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars. So he's going to
be taking that option. His management put out a statement
this morning saying, as far as we know, he's still playing,
he's committed to the club, blah blah blah. The fact
that his management have to put out a statement saying,
as far as we know, he's playing for the club
next year, that doesn't fill me with confidence. Also, I
(21:35):
don't think you get stood down when you're a star
player for missing one meeting. I think you get like
a fine or you know, you get told off.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
He's still get named. He's smelling a rat here.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
I'm smelling a rat here. I think that there's something
going on. I think that there's more to the story.
Speaker 4 (21:49):
Do you think it may be the AFL preemptive cover up? Oh,
the AFL drug testing where they drag test him and
then they.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
Go, hey, yeah you got a saw a leg. Yes,
stand down for a couple of weeks so you're out
of the Yeah. No, Because I think if it was
the AFL style, like you said, they go out with.
Speaker 3 (22:04):
A nondescript injury. Ah, okay, they'll be like adduct there.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
Or maybe they've just a depth with the I mean NRL,
their innovative. Maybe we can adopt that, but we just
need to maybe we make it a disciplinary thing, like
like meeting like edwinth and Blake didn't sing the song
song it's bingched Yeah.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
And now he's back. The thing is, I do believe that.
Speaker 1 (22:24):
I believe that edit Vanua Blake's story because that is
a beneable offense. I think walking out on the team song,
it's like come on in the team or not missing
a team meeting.
Speaker 3 (22:32):
I don't know. I don't know, but he has been
stood down.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I wonder if maybe we've's the set of precedent and
now other teams are like he did his best player.
Speaker 3 (22:41):
We're going to have to do it.
Speaker 1 (22:42):
All I know is if they don't offer from another
contract next year, come play with the Warriors.
Speaker 4 (22:46):
Yeah, absolutely, we would love to have. The hectic cheese
will be great. I mean, he's Wahiki Island's finest. Yes,
he is come home. And how these chips are flying
out the door, Melissa here on the shelf, just throwing
them over the shewf twenty bucks, five packets, a bag
and a bucky.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
That's ridiculous, a bucket hat to be it, yep, nothing
nothing underward going on it and the claw machines in
fullifick and really refreshing to see not rigged.
Speaker 3 (23:12):
No, because and also came on, look she did win.
Speaker 6 (23:14):
She's won.
Speaker 4 (23:15):
I mean saying that it's she won two. Yeah, so
look at that, not rigged and she.
Speaker 3 (23:20):
Gets them into one another price. You can't get a
wrong spirit of field.
Speaker 1 (23:24):
That's just Finally, on rugby league, Sean Johnson was as
predicted named in the teams. They listened to you, they
listened to me. There's no headache. Sean Johnson is the
best halfback that we have. He's going to be on
the field. Everyone was saying, oh, they're going to have
to drop to mighty Martin. You put them both on
the field totally. And a player having a good run
of form is not a bad thing. I don't know
why we always have the panic button.
Speaker 3 (23:45):
Well we got him too, good players, what are we
going to do? Good to see about it and have
them play.
Speaker 1 (23:50):
So they are playing this weekend against the Melbourne Storm
where they haven't beaten in about nine years over there
in Melbourne.
Speaker 4 (23:58):
We're at home though, are we know where home? So yeah, yeah,
we are a home game.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
Tony Lyle is in Melbourne this weekend and he's like,
oh sme, I'll go watch the Warriors home game, so
we'll be commentating that one live on Scottswood.
Speaker 4 (24:11):
No, that's it's another super super Saturday with the Hurricanes.
Chief's monnat at four point thirty. Yes, straight and to
the Warrior storm.
Speaker 3 (24:20):
Should we get have to take a break and get
Lee Hart in here because I think he needs a break.
He does need a break.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
All right, let's go wrestling. Let's go save Leehart will
be right backer.
Speaker 5 (24:30):
All right.
Speaker 3 (24:30):
Well, a very special welcome into the podcast. Lee Lee.
Speaker 1 (24:33):
You have been absolutely hammered out there giving away these ships.
Speaker 5 (24:36):
That's absolute madness here at field. Now it's poetry in
motion watching this, watching this happen. Giving away these samples.
You've got a choice of salted or vinegar and salt.
As you know, we put the vinegar in first, so
a lot of people can't handle the vinegar. No.
Speaker 3 (24:49):
I found that.
Speaker 1 (24:50):
We had a guy over here just before and he said,
you didn't want it unless the salt win in first.
Speaker 3 (24:54):
Do you find that a bit.
Speaker 6 (24:55):
Yeah, we do get a bit of that.
Speaker 5 (24:56):
But our job here with samples, I suppose we like
to think once people I take a changing on having
her back, so key is to give as many people
as sample as possible, and that it poots babies like come.
Speaker 3 (25:07):
Off at your mass.
Speaker 5 (25:08):
No. No, often you'll think of three months or like
a one month old baby. So probably can't handle a chip,
you know, that could be dangerous. But if mum's breastfeeding
and she eats that the vinegar and sold especially that
flavors should diffuse.
Speaker 6 (25:23):
Through the breast milk out of nipple to the child.
Speaker 3 (25:26):
Does the vinegar curdle the milk at all? Not?
Speaker 5 (25:28):
If it's click if you wait too long, then it's
a good persion. By the way, you know a lot
of people don't ask that.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
It's a great questions.
Speaker 6 (25:33):
On the back of the pack, it actually.
Speaker 5 (25:34):
Says viniggar will not curdle the milk if you if
it's used within a certain time frame.
Speaker 6 (25:41):
But like normal milk, you leave it.
Speaker 4 (25:42):
Out long enough, it's it's going to So what you're
saying is if if you are breastfeeding, to eat and
express or feed the baby within half an hour, Yes, within.
Speaker 5 (25:50):
A half an hour, and you can refrigerate that milk
would probably give it another ten ten minutes.
Speaker 6 (25:54):
But I reckon.
Speaker 5 (25:55):
The idea is if as you're eating the chips, you
should be rest feeding pace, throwing straight through.
Speaker 3 (26:02):
Okay, you don't want to leave it siting in there.
Speaker 5 (26:03):
No, No, you don't want it because you're right, I mean,
vinegar and even the salts will start to Don't get
me started on the barbecue them, you know what, or
the spice chili.
Speaker 1 (26:14):
You know, that's sort of a mess statis issue at
that point, Really, isn't that?
Speaker 5 (26:17):
You don't have to be a three month old baby
or two to enjoy snack check. We're really targeting normal people, people,
normal people, adults.
Speaker 3 (26:27):
You know you've.
Speaker 1 (26:28):
Been down here for a couple of hours already. Is
this your first time down at the Field Days?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
No, I've been a number of few days over over
my my, I'm just going to take career. But that's
a stretch over the last ten twenty years. It always
gets bigger and better, doesn't. There's hundreds of thousands of
people here. More than hundreds, there's thousands of people here.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
There's dozens of people here years.
Speaker 5 (26:50):
I mean, it took us ages to find even the
soul to guys ages to find it.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Yeah, that's the hallmark going to the Field days is
getting lost. We've actually been.
Speaker 1 (26:57):
Down here together before with Hodaki back in the day
of course, where Jason Hoyt got on the mechanical ball
in the mechanical boat and he lasted about half a
rotation before he slid off.
Speaker 6 (27:08):
Was it even that? It was?
Speaker 5 (27:09):
You know, I think he got on it and the
guy was about to start the thing. He just kind
of slid off the front because like he was.
Speaker 6 (27:15):
I've never seen anything like that.
Speaker 1 (27:16):
It was one of the saddest things that I've seen
because he just slid off rigid as a board. Yeah,
and everyone, you know, usually when someone gets on it,
everyone's cheering and everyone just sort of.
Speaker 5 (27:24):
Like, oh, you know, if if you've ever watched old
movies where they do like a sleaperial and when they
saw a slide a dead body off that of the
boat on a like board, Yes, it's kind of like that.
Speaker 6 (27:34):
He just kind of slid off.
Speaker 5 (27:35):
It was.
Speaker 4 (27:35):
Matt Ward has that footage and I think I think this,
we'll put it out again, stick it on this pod.
Yeah we will, Well, we'll put it out on the
on the Instagram. Is potentially You're right, it is the
sliding off of a body.
Speaker 6 (27:47):
Yeah, it was that.
Speaker 5 (27:49):
The those guys could be down here on Friday. I
think are they doing their show down here front of it.
Speaker 3 (27:53):
They are.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Yeah, so maybe maybe we're gonna need to re give
them another chance.
Speaker 3 (27:57):
On their ball might come down and gate crash that
get if.
Speaker 1 (28:00):
We could get the same ball and Jason a showdown
with l Diablo, Well it out once again.
Speaker 6 (28:07):
Certainly wasn't a big what do you call it? Promo
for extreenness of small?
Speaker 3 (28:11):
Was it?
Speaker 1 (28:12):
Although having said that, that same night someone brought in
an eight armed funnel that he called the octopus into
the bar and got eight people around it to drink
out of the out of the that was probably.
Speaker 3 (28:28):
It was.
Speaker 1 (28:28):
There was also a boat race involved there, so it
was it was absolute Carnegie and I remember the boat
race we did again that we did I think we
wanted actually, And when I woke up in the morning,
I came into your room and you had your phone
in in a bucket.
Speaker 3 (28:42):
You're playing music yep, and Jimmy Barnes. I think it
might have been the Beatles.
Speaker 6 (28:48):
So I'm notice in the.
Speaker 5 (28:49):
Bucket, Andy bucket wasn't I wasn't washing my well, I.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Don't think so, none at that time, but I think
it was more of a amplification.
Speaker 5 (28:57):
Very early form, you know, it's probably before your time
because you know there was always uey booms and stuff.
But back in my day, we you know, sometimes would
have to stick at you know, in all sorts of
pots and pants and wos.
Speaker 1 (29:08):
Will always a walk whatever you you know, like a
fruit bowl.
Speaker 5 (29:13):
Fruit bowl would work, or maybe even something you do
a all those things they have and sort of like
rice rice kind of a walk, but it's a Greek
you might put.
Speaker 3 (29:30):
Some on, you mean with I was gonna say that.
I think that's more sure.
Speaker 6 (29:39):
No one's really interestant what it actually is.
Speaker 3 (29:41):
That's all ye booms these days, isn't it.
Speaker 6 (29:44):
What's a big leap from from the to the ui boom'
you know.
Speaker 1 (29:48):
A massive step board and that's what fiel day is
all about, a massive stipboard and technology.
Speaker 5 (29:53):
The technology here, this is what it's all about. And
I think doing things in a new way, and that's
what you see here with the farmers trying to be
better with the environment and stuff.
Speaker 6 (30:02):
There's a lot of pressure on them to do that.
Speaker 5 (30:04):
And like like back to snack a chainy with the free,
free range, non cage potatoes, you know, thinking answered the
square guys like you are, people would would do a
podcast doesn't run.
Speaker 1 (30:13):
Yeah, that's right, And I know as much as you're
here to you know, distribute the amazing snacker Chai chips,
get people to try them. Are you also looking for
innovations and how you make them? Is there something here
that you could benefit from that you've seen so much?
Speaker 5 (30:25):
That's it, And it's normally something you don't expect, normally
something that's got enough thing to do with chip making
or something something else.
Speaker 6 (30:32):
The way the milk a cow or something like that,
you know.
Speaker 5 (30:34):
I mean I saw a machine on the way in here,
like a special way for the milking cows. Yes, and
I remember an ex girlfriend I had had a similar
thing like that in her home, right, you know, and
it wasn't the milking Cows's true that so I'm.
Speaker 1 (30:49):
Not gonna ask what to use it for. Yeah, I've
seen a lot of stuff. There's some great hoof goats,
but smaller Yeah, but who roof care around there? Obviously
giant machinery. It can't be easy to harvest the free
range uncaged or.
Speaker 5 (31:06):
It's all about giving them love, because what we like
to say is that a happy potato is a happy
potato chip.
Speaker 3 (31:11):
Do you play music? To them or anything. Yeah, we do. Yeah,
what kind of music of a.
Speaker 6 (31:16):
Just gently you know you don't different seasons, different music.
Speaker 1 (31:21):
I've seen this great potato hits like potato hurts, cash
potato hits, yoil, yeah, oiled potato hits. Yeah, mashh I
have some smash smash hits I have seen. Yeah, I've
seen fields with the with the Tajians sort of scattered
around them, and evidently like the proofers and the potting,
isn't it makes It makes the best sort of chip.
Speaker 3 (31:42):
What are you looking forward to? How long are you
here for? For the way?
Speaker 6 (31:44):
Yeah, it was a good question.
Speaker 3 (31:46):
Chips. There's a lot of chips. I don't hope it.
Speaker 5 (31:48):
Would run out quickness because I could go, but you know,
I would probably see you here for the next few days.
Just I'll be here probably Friday, yep, but I would leave.
He may have some easy seat tomorrow. Oh, well, you
know it's.
Speaker 3 (32:03):
The excellent compensation for version.
Speaker 4 (32:05):
Oh yeah, we've got the commentary tomorrow. Yeah, yeah, that's

What are you looking forward to most seeing here that
you haven't already come across?
Speaker 6 (32:13):
Well, hope you'll go for a bit of a wonder soon.
And haven't got ground. There's always a few good sort
of stalls.
Speaker 3 (32:18):
Like you know the gin.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah yeah, well there's a whiskey directly across from us,

Speaker 6 (32:25):
Got to find someone to drive.
Speaker 3 (32:27):
Yeah, well you can really just put the Carron Auto
drive on that, Yeah just about can.
Speaker 1 (32:32):
All right, the whiskey's starting to call my name now,
so I reckon we knocked this thing on the head.
Speaker 3 (32:36):
We go have a look around.
