  Speaker 1: This show would Ben podcast. Hey, that's us broad to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: you by Hello Fresh the Experts and Tastes that kiwis
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: love Mike Lane or g Lane as he's known in
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: the ACC Welcome along.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Great, have you, good morning, It's good to be here.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Now now you can add a published author to your
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: listen of achievements.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Right, well, published author.
• 0:19
  Speaker 3: I don't know, but we've got our ten year Almanac.
• 0:21
  Speaker 3: Ten years ago the a SEC started in a caravan,
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: a borrowed caravan at McLean Park, broadcasting on iHeartRadio for
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: the very first time.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: And we're still here ten years later.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Is that ten years here? Well?
• 0:33
  Speaker 5: And so the almanac, this is a collection of all
• 0:37
  Speaker 5: the footage and photos that you have.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: Some stories, some stories, it's the origin story of it.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: There's also a lot of oral history in there. So
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: basically everyone got interviewed from the original seven with the
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: around the several incidents that happened from being thrown out
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: of the World Cup to all sorts of other things
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: that happened, landing in a helicopter and a ground unauthorized,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: and basically it's everyone's different version of those stories as well.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: So the oral history is quite amusing because how Lee
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Heart remembers those stories is wildly different from what Jeremy
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: Wells remembers to what Jason Hoyt, who doesn't actually remember anything.
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of oral history around there. There's
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: also touches on all the sporting moments in the last
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: ten years he's been you know, a couple of Rugby
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: World Cups, couple of Cricket World Cup.
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: How did you get kicked out of the Not to
• 1:21
  Speaker 5: spoiler alert, but how did you get kicked out of
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: the Cricket World Cup.
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: Well, we got accused of stealing a drinks trolley and
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: driving it at the Gatorade drinks trolley, driving it on
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: the field during a game, and interviewing players unauthorized during
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: a game.
• 1:34
  Speaker 6: Yes, well there's accused, but accused.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: There was elements of truth.
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: Did you die?
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: Leehart was on the drinks trolley and the interview, and
• 1:43
  Speaker 3: he did go on the field and he did have
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: a conversation with a couple of players.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: But.
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: We got the end of it.
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: The story got so wild by the end of that game.
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: And this was the two thousand and I think eleven
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: World Cup. It got so wild by the end of
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: it that were got accused of match fixing and talking
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: to the players about what doing and it was got
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: it went crazy podcast. It spiraled out of control and
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: we couldn't control it. And in the end everyone panicked
• 2:09
  Speaker 3: and they threw us out, even the parent company it
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: looks after us, they panicked as well because they thought
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: they were going to get their rights pulled. And we
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: just got booted to the cub game like at the
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: end of the game, and you explain it.
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: It's it's it's all in the book.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It's all in the book.
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: It's a great conversation I have, which was the head
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: of radio at the time, who rang me at after
• 2:28
  Speaker 3: the game. I had thousands of misscalls on my phone,
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: you know when sony miss calls, you just lost track
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: of him.
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: And I rang him back and his first words.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: Were, please tell me you you didn't do it. And
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I went, oh, we did some pretty terrible stuff today.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: You know, we had all sorts of stupid you know,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: I guess the commentator's paranem and terrible stuff. And I
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: said and I said that, and he goes what And
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: I went, oh, was it this?
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: And he goes no, I said, well, what was it then?
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: Because they are the two worst things we did today,
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: and he goes, you stole a drinks troll, you drove
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: it on the field. Interview players iced see have thrown
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: you out.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: We're a big trouble by. But I went, oh, okay,
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: we did do that. We didn't do that anyway.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: It was probably the making of us, actually, because the
• 3:05
  Speaker 3: next week we broadcasted again. We just went loud on
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: the ground, but we did it from the caravan circling
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: the ground and had three times the audience. Then after
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: that it was ten times the audience, so people got
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: to know what we were doing.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: It must be really stoked with how it's so taken
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: off from, you know, a humble beginnings and now you
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: know you've got you're doing a sky Sport you know.
• 3:23
  Speaker 6: Gave it to Halves reboot, you got a book out.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: It's pretty cool.
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: You're commentating games on sky Sport and all over the place.
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: It's good.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's good that we've got there as an
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: option because I think we a lot of people take
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: sport too seriously, because sport ed ins essence is entertainment.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: You should be entertained by sport. And I think there
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: was a while there where sport was taken far too seriously.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: And I'm looking at rugby here, and you weren't allowed
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: to have fun at the games.
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: You were allowed to have fun with the game. You
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: weren't allowed to, you know, have a laugh or take
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: the pass anything like that. It was all very serious.
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: So I think this is it's been quite refreshing to
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: do this. I think there is people who enjoy sport
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: as entertainment. We always say that we are entertainment at
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: the expense of editorial integrity. So we're never going to
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: be on the Herald, We're never going to be on
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: TVNZ one. Apart from the BlackFlash, we're never going to
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: be that mainstream. Were always the alternative names and the title,
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: you know, and it's an alternative to the mainstream, and
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: we have a bit of fun, we laugh.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: I mean, it's not everyone's cup of tea.
• 4:19
  Speaker 5: Well, speaking of speaking of, we've had some complaints come through,
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: not to this show, but news talks.
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: Here be Jason pine the Sports here we go mac Hell.
• 4:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, they Piney. I'd like to talk about the Sky
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: TV commentary last night. I thought it was an absolute
• 4:35
  Speaker 8: bloody disgrace and there are three clowns on there were
• 4:39
  Speaker 8: embarrassment through everybody.
• 4:40
  Speaker 6: Embarrassment to everybody. That's fair. I think it's a fair call.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: That's a fair call.
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: I mean, why wouldn't you be Mac, God bless Mac.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: A lot of people stumble across us, right, Yeah. However,
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: there is a group of people, and these are great
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: New Zealanders who stitch up their parents and grandparents and
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: come over and change their skybox so when they turn on,
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: it automately goes to Our commentary is normally around that,
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: normally on Skysport.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: Nine, which is eight channels away from Skysport one.
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: As far removed the original bookcart.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Correct, but this particular one Mac, this was an all
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: black game, or it may have been the Super Rupy Final,
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: I can't remember. But the at the time the Olympics
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: were on, so the Olympics took up all the other channels,
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: so we were on sky Sports Select, which is actually
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: before Skysport one.
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: So Mac obviously just been to one channel. But God
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: bless him, he listened to the whole He stayed with it.
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: We get some great complaints hate watching it.
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: Yes, it's just the ideal audience.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: It totally is.
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: And some of the text messages we get hilarious of
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: people who go to their parents' house or grandparents and
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: watch the rugby with them and put our commentary on
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: and then they just video the grandparents going, that's pretty funny.
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: The Alternate College and collect of the Almanac is out now.
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: First time makes you to look at it.
• 6:07
  Speaker 7: You found yourself straight away.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I was maybe be a little locked through, and
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: I was like, oh, there's a little blurb about each
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: each person as well, which I hadn't sanctioned.
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: But that's all right.
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: To be clear, no one said anything. If anyone was
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: going to sanction it, it wouldn't have because.
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: Someone else at the building that wrote a book the
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: other day there to get suffering past lawyers and all sorts.
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: One person who's not happy Jason point, all right.
• 6:28
  Speaker 6: Well it's so bad.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: That's this.
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: He's been boys the creative pulp sport.

  Speaker 6: Anyway, he hasn't been, Yeah, appear in the book.
• 6:52

  Speaker 6: Great honor to be in there.
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there is one killer story in there that every
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: name is redacted. Yeah, that's for a reason. Yeah, okay,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: all right, right in the middle there great gifts.

  Speaker 1: all sorts of maybe they're into sport.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: Great, great gifts, great stocking stuff as we like to

• 7:18
  Speaker 3: just chuck in the toilet. You can pick it up
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: at any chapter. There's no real chronological quarter. It's ten
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: years of sport, but you can pick it up anywhere.
• 7:26
  Speaker 1: You'll mate Daniel Vittori, who you know, legendary black cap
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: but now coach as well.
• 7:31
  Speaker 6: He's got it's actually quite good. As the quote on
• 7:34
  Speaker 6: the on.
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: The Daney, Now this seems almost like a surprise, it's
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: actually quite good.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: Well, it was like Hamilton's old slogan, you know better
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: than you think. That was more than you expected, more
• 7:47
  Speaker 2: than you.
• 7:47
  Speaker 6: I wasn't expecting much, but it was more than that.
• 7:49
  Speaker 5: Now, being the cricketer for Seronado that you are, Mike
• 7:52
  Speaker 5: Lane and with the almanac out now, almanac or almanak.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: That's a great question. It's been it's been thrown around almanac.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so.
• 8:00
  Speaker 6: There's the what is that?
• 8:01
  Speaker 7: Is that a word?
• 8:02
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: A sporting Well yeah, I guess it is only an
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: associated with sport. You have a sports almanac, a history
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: of yeah.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Ok So there's the alternate commentary collective Almanac or almanac
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: out now, and there's also another book that focuses heavily
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: on cricket as well as well. Now this is called
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: all Out, and I'm going to say who it's from.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: It's from a black Cap, now, Megan, and next week
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: you're going to be interviewing this black Cap.
• 8:25
  Speaker 6: So this is your research right now.
• 8:28
  Speaker 1: If Mike Key, you can pass it across to Now
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: we thought you'd taken moment because it's surprising you. You've
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: got to interview this person in the studio, former black Cap.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: But you can ask Mike any cricket questions now to
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: get his knowledge.
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: Good looking is he.
• 8:41
  Speaker 9: He's yeah, he's very good looking. So he doesn't play anymore.
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: Well done, he doesn't play for the black Caps anymore,
• 8:51
  Speaker 3: but he's actually still playing cricket.
• 8:53
  Speaker 6: First thing, how would you pronounce his name Neil Wagner.
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: I don't know about it. Is it Wagner or is
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: it I don't know. We call him Neil Wagner, and
• 9:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's correct.
• 9:09
  Speaker 9: Am I going to look like a dick if he
• 9:10
  Speaker 9: comes in and I'm like, good morning, Neil Wagner.
• 9:14
  Speaker 7: You're laughing.
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: Don't call him.
• 9:18
  Speaker 3: He's generally known as Wagner. But there is a it
• 9:20
  Speaker 3: is contentious of Wagner.
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: But you're right. He doesn't play anymore for the black Cats.
• 9:24
  Speaker 9: So did he have a nickname when he was playing,
• 9:26
  Speaker 9: like Wags Waggles?
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, weggs now at first?
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: I mean, cricketers aren't overly creative with nicknames.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Sticking on the end short it's one.
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: Of your guys calling cards? Is the great nicknames you
• 9:38
  Speaker 5: make for players? Did Wags have an acc nickname?
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: And it was Wagner? And he's got a very double
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: O seven look about him.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: Is so he'd make a great James Bond.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: He's he's quite aggressive on the field, nicest guy you'll
• 9:55
  Speaker 3: ever meet when you meet him.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: Quite relatively short and stature.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Hintsy was quite a difficult bowler to face because he
• 10:03
  Speaker 3: was quite short, but he banging into the pitch, but
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: on the field very passionate, and some would say he
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: almost had a few anger issues. But I've always o
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: reckon a good line of questioning me to go down
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: that does that translate into any other part of.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Your life on the golf course in the kitchen?
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: So I'm going to bring up that he's reasonably short,
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: has got anger issues.
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: And yeah, yeah, are you German?
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: Those are the three leaders from South Africa? Right?
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 10:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah, He's originally said now lives in paper Moore. He's
• 10:36
  Speaker 3: got a young family and Pa lives out there. He's
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: got living the life out there at the Mount.
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: Any technical questions?
• 10:43
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but how long.
• 10:44
  Speaker 7: Did he play for?
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: Oh and about probably up to ten twelve years?
• 10:49
  Speaker 5: Wow?
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: Okay, but he the match?
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like he didn't really play a lot of white
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: ball cricket there more what they do different like a
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: one day?
• 10:58
  Speaker 6: Yeah, one day?
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: Well red ball specials, so what white balls? What they
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: used for one day is and t twenties but red ball?
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: Question? What color balls do you prefer?
• 11:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah a good question, great question, great great question.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: Another one, do you prefer grass on the wicket or not? Okay,
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: another way yeah.
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, when playing cricket, win playing cricket because more grass,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the more see movement you get.
• 11:21
  Speaker 6: He likes to bang it into the workt too.
• 11:24
  Speaker 7: So he was a bowler whereabouts in the batting order?
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: Was he very much?
• 11:28
  Speaker 7: Because the back is not good a ei.
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: The last if Trent Bolt was playing. So he actually
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't bad batsman.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: You know, he actually had good technique and he's actually
• 11:39
  Speaker 3: not a bad little tail ender.
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: Neil Wagner, nice guy. You'll really enjoy interviewing him.
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: Okay, he's got dangerously blue eyes, piercing blue eyes.
• 11:48
  Speaker 7: You keep going on that as good l want to
• 11:51
  Speaker 7: be here.
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: Is there one question you know from one of your
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: times this putting on the spot here but obviously got
• 11:59
  Speaker 1: a book out and you've like commentated many great moments.
• 12:01
  Speaker 6: That he's been part of.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: Near Wagner, is there one question that would really make
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: Megan feel like she's watched that game?
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Particular game like a Test Championship or something.
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: I think the pink Ball Test and Eden Park was
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: a particular highlight for me when they had England on
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: the ropes and Neil Wagner was pretty much running in
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: from the boundary because it was so short, short boundaries
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: there and we were playing Wagner.
• 12:23
  Speaker 2: Classical artists at full volume.
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: It was one of the most virbrant moments when he
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: was steaming in the last over and he snicked one
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: of the English players out.
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: It was one of the greats.
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: But I'd have to say it was that if I
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: think it might have been at base in Reserve where
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: he got a wicket offers last delivery to win the
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: Test match, caught down league side.
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: It was one of the great moments.
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: So if you can say that, would that be the greatest?
• 12:51
  Speaker 9: I w off the last ball to when they were
• 12:53
  Speaker 9: caught down and he was caught down lea side.
• 12:57
  Speaker 3: Just say, does the Basin Reserve whole special memories for you?
• 13:01
  Speaker 6: Oh, that's a good one.
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: You've had a lot of magical moments. When you can
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: you sum up a couple of them. One of the
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: two most highlights is it the pinkball Test and neat
