• 0:11
  S1: a change. There is a whole bunch of jobs up
• 0:14
  S1: for grabs, and Antarctica.
• 0:19
  S2: Sounds like a pretty chill job to me.
• 0:21
  S1: Oh, I see what you did there. It's the worst
• 0:24
  S1: dad joke you've ever delivered. And I love it. Benny.
• 0:26

• 0:31
  S1: If you want to up sticks and move to Antarctica
• 0:33
  S1: and have nothing to do but save your cash, we'll
• 0:36
  S1: give you the options.
• 0:37
  S2: The next 101 on how to get pulled up by
• 0:40
  S2: a cop on a pushbike.
• 0:42
  S1: But this is on an Australian like one of the
• 0:44
  S1: cop TV shows like Highway Patrol or whatever. And the
• 0:47
  S1: bloke's a Kiwi and he is awesome. That's your smoko
• 0:52
  S1: for your next Audioslave. Show me how to live rock.
• 0:55
  S1: Drive on the rock.
• 0:56
  S3: Rock drive with Jay and dunk.
• 0:59
  S1: Red Hot Chili Peppers, scar tissue, rock drive in the rock.
• 1:01
  S1: Before we get to smoke, I just want to acknowledge
• 1:04
  S1: a Belgian athlete. Leo. Sorry. Lynn Show has done 11,900
• 1:10
  S1: pull ups in 24 hours to get a Guinness World Record.
• 1:14
  S2: I don't reckon I could do 11.
• 1:15
  S1: Neither.
• 1:17
  S3: Smoke. Cheers to my toe training with my toe by industry.
• 1:21
  S3: For industry.
• 1:22
  S1: It's just about realizing what your potential is and it's
• 1:25
  S1: nothing being happy with it. Speaking of potential, maybe you
• 1:30
  S1: could partner with my toe and future proof your business
• 1:32
  S1: and your team and your industry. You can take smoko
• 1:34
  S1: to 3520 500 bucks up for grabs from those legends
• 1:39
  S1: tomorrow afternoon. You got to be in to win. Now,
• 1:41
  S1: this bloke here has a Kiwi bloke gets pulled over
• 1:45
  S1: in Australia. It's on one of their cop shows and
• 1:47
  S1: he's just a vibe. He's got a mountain bike that
• 1:50
  S1: he's retrofitted a two stroke motor to with a little
• 1:53
  S1: petrol tank and stuff. And obviously it's basically a motorbike now. Right.
• 1:59
  S1: So then you need to comply with the safety standards
• 2:02
  S1: that the Australian police enforce, and he hasn't at all.
• 2:07
  S1: In fact, he's using, um, his work boots as the brakes.
• 2:13
  S4: This man and his souped up bike have been pulled
• 2:15
  S4: over by Senior Constable Shaun Roth and leading Senior Constable
• 2:19
  S4: Marcus Owen.
• 2:20
  S5: You've got to comply with all the requirements of it
• 2:22
  S5: being a motorcycle. That one's okay. This one's not sufficient
• 2:27
  S5: braking capacity in order to pull it up. We noticed
• 2:30
  S5: when you were when you were coming to a stop
• 2:32
  S5: using the old, uh, Barney Rubble. Fred. Flintstones. Yeah, that's
• 2:36
  S5: my brake right there. You see that? That's pure brakes
• 2:39
  S5: right there. Is this your speedo? Oh, no. No. I
• 2:43
  S5: thought it was a Speedo. Yeah. Oh, I can kick
• 2:48
  S5: out about, what, 65, 76? This is this is your accelerator.
• 2:52
  S5: We've got the clutch right here. You pop the clutch.
• 2:54
  S5: That's what makes it goes. That's what kick starts it.
• 2:56
  S5: It's like kicking the car in second. You've got your accelerator. Oh,
• 3:00
  S5: you got your kill switch right here. It's the, uh,
• 3:02
  S5: motorbike accelerator. Cable? Everything you need for a push bike. Hey,
• 3:07
  S5: if you want a push bike, come see me.
• 3:12
  S6: Wow, that's really loud.
• 3:15
  S7: Yeah, thanks. Took the restrictor plate off. Give the Red
• 3:18
  S7: Dragon a little more juice. But, uh, let's keep that
• 3:21
  S7: on the down low. She's not exactly street legal.
• 3:24
  S8: Oh my gosh.
• 3:25
  S1: They're not exactly street legal. Did you hear him, though?
• 3:28
  S1: Hitting him up. And he's like, yeah, man. 6570 clicks
• 3:31
  S1: on this. What? They're trying to book him. He's saying
• 3:35
  S1: all the wrong stuff.
• 3:36
  S2: In a 50 zone. Yeah.
• 3:39
  S1: He's my boots. His brakes. Asking for his brakes. His
• 3:42
  S1: rear tires. Completely bald because he's been lightened up. Drifting out.
• 3:46
  S2: I like the fact that's just the Kiwi number eight
• 3:48
  S2: wired attitude. You know something that's not exactly street legal.
• 3:52
  S2: I just was watching these guys that have converted, um,
• 3:56
  S2: right on lawnmowers into off road camping tractors. And so
• 4:00
  S2: they basically they take the they jack up a lawn mower,
• 4:03
  S2: take the cutting blade off underneath it, and they just
• 4:05
  S2: drive it off out into the bush and they go,
• 4:07
  S2: there's like 20 of them on these jacked up John Deere.
• 4:10
  S2: And so it's pretty.
• 4:10
  S1: I love it I love it. If you would like
• 4:13
  S1: to participate and keep it on the down low, it's
• 4:16
  S1: not exactly street legal. What have you built? 3520.
• 4:21
  S2: We'll put the spark plugs on the exhaust so I
• 4:23
  S2: can blow flames out the ass of my car. And exactly.
• 4:26
  S2: Street legal.
• 4:28
  S1: Three five. Two zero. The text number, uh. And next
• 4:32
  S1: is promise. If you like. My job sucks. I've got
• 4:37
  S1: no money. Maybe go to Antarctica for six months. There's
• 4:40
  S1: a whole bunch of jobs that have just come up
• 4:41
  S1: for grabs. Could be an option for you. The response
• 4:44
  S1: in guns N roses on the way. Here's muse, hysteria,
• 4:47
  S1: Rock drive.
• 4:48
  S3: The Rock drive podcast.
• 4:50
  S1: It's the response where do you run to? It is
• 4:52
  S1: Rock drive on the Rock with your old mates Shane Dunk.
• 4:55
  S1: So if you're sitting here and you'd be like, And
• 4:57
  S1: you're thinking to yourself, I cannot do another day at
• 5:00
  S1: this cruddy workplace I want out. You may have a
• 5:05
  S1: particular set of skills that lines up with one of
• 5:08
  S1: these jobs. That's just come up for heading off to Antarctica.
• 5:11
  S2: Yeah, this is pretty hotly contested jobs. Only 40 roles
• 5:14
  S2: available to basically head to Antarctica and do the summer work.
• 5:19
  S2: So they've got the summer period and then the winter period.
• 5:21
  S2: So the summer period itself is pretty, pretty gnarly. So
• 5:26
  S2: basically they're going from pretty sure it's like September through
• 5:30
  S2: to the end of February. And then there's a real
• 5:33
  S2: skeleton staff of 13 people that stay on for the
• 5:35
  S2: other months.
• 5:37
  S1: That'd be so rough being there over winter.
• 5:39
  S2: Yeah. Ah, yeah. In the summer period, it's just like
• 5:41
  S2: the whole time. And so winter, it's predominantly dark the
• 5:45
  S2: whole time.
• 5:46
  S1: So you're gonna need to pack a hell of an
• 5:47
  S1: eye mask.
• 5:48
  S2: Yeah.
• 5:48
  S1: Going over summer. You need a.
• 5:51
  S2: Guy if you want an eye mask dunk. As an
• 5:54
  S2: eye mask guy.
• 5:55
  S1: So recently, Believe it or not, I purchased an eye
• 5:57
  S1: mask on Temu and it was like a 3D printed one.
• 6:00
  S1: It was like the mega eye mask, just the. I've
• 6:03
  S1: been using it for about a month and the inside's
• 6:05
  S1: come off already, so don't get your eye mask from Temu. Don't.
• 6:07
  S1: There's a trick for young players.
• 6:09
  S2: I just, you know, when it comes to anything, pretty much.
• 6:12
  S2: Don't bother getting anything from Temu.
• 6:14
  S1: Well, you see my jet plane the boys are playing with.
• 6:16
  S1: Flew that up into the international airspace and gotten a
• 6:20
  S1: lot of trouble. So what are the jobs?
• 6:23
  S2: Um, you can take on any of the critical roles
• 6:26
  S2: that are there, um, and answer the call of being
• 6:29
  S2: in a career in Antarctica. So they've got people that
• 6:31
  S2: they need field staff, engineers, um, maintenance workers, carpenters, chefs, mechanics, electricians,
• 6:39
  S2: medics and technicians to keep Scott base running. Um, so
• 6:43
  S2: the scientists can basically keep so there's, there's a workforce
• 6:45
  S2: and then there's a scientific team that are there. Um,
• 6:48
  S2: and that's what keeps the joint running.
• 6:50
  S1: Geez. Imagine being the medic. You could go the whole
• 6:52
  S1: time without having to do anything. Yeah, maybe someone's got
• 6:55
  S1: a blister or something.
• 6:57
  S2: Chances are, chances are you probably will run into a
• 7:01
  S2: couple of a couple of issues, no doubt.
• 7:03
  S1: Can we set up a keyword, Antarctica and get a
• 7:06
  S1: bounce back for all the job listings?
• 7:07
  S2: Should we just put ice to make it easier?
• 7:10
  S1: Well, I'm relying on people having spellcheck, not punching out
• 7:13
  S1: on a Nokia. Click click click click click click.
• 7:17
  S2: Yeah, we'll just say ice icy to 3520. And here's
• 7:21
  S2: the link where you can check it out. Awesome. Because
• 7:23
  S2: it's only a short stint. It's basically you apply for it.
• 7:25
  S2: You get picked up at the end of the year,
• 7:26
  S2: then you roll through and you come back in Feb.
• 7:28
  S1: Can we have a little bit of a wallow next
• 7:30
  S1: in the Black Caps and how they went last night
• 7:31
  S1: against Sri Lanka?
• 7:34
  S2: Absolute masterclass.
• 7:37
  S1: Oh man. We'll have a chat about the last four overs.
• 7:40
  S1: They went absolutely berserk. It was so good. This is
• 7:43
  S1: probably the second longest guns N roses song I believe
• 7:47
  S1: we play November rain rock drive on the Rock.
• 7:51
  S9: Okay. Let's go.
• 7:54
  S10: Drive home.
• 7:55
  S3: Drive.
• 7:56
  S1: Guns N roses. November. Rain. Rock. Drive. Thursday afternoon. Drunk
• 8:00
  S1: driving you home? Uh, hats off to the Black Caps.
• 8:03
  S1: Smash Sri Lanka by 61 runs in Colombo. Defending 168
• 8:07
  S1: for seven, holding the hosts to just 107 for eight. Um,
• 8:11
  S1: Mitchell Santner got 47 off 26 and they actually ended
• 8:15
  S1: up getting, uh, 70 off the last four overs.
• 8:19
  S2: Full Tonk fist.
• 8:20
  S1: Yeah, which is crazy. Um, with the ball. Rachin Ravindra
• 8:23
  S1: ripped through Sri Lanka for four for 27. Matt Henry
• 8:26
  S1: took two for three off two overs and New Zealand
• 8:29
  S1: bowled 17 overs of spin to strangle the chase. So
• 8:34
  S1: outstanding nudge from the boys.
• 8:36
  S11: First ball of the chase. Oh my goodness. Could they
• 8:40
  S11: ask for a better start. Country. Phenomenal. Up up pace
• 8:45
  S11: off from Henry. Gone. And straight away. Had to go.
• 8:50
  S12: Guy still in the air and stumps are broken.
• 8:56
  S11: Gone again? He's just flying it up. Gone up. It's
• 9:01
  S11: gone up. Mitchell. Getting in, getting in big hands safely
• 9:05
  S11: underneath that river.
• 9:07
  S1: It's the sort of cut off, weirdly there at the end.
• 9:09
  S1: Is there a better cricket commentator than Dooley?
• 9:12
  S2: I love hearing him.
• 9:13
  S1: He's so good. Dooley and Smitty is just one of
• 9:15
  S1: the most electric combos.
• 9:17
  S2: And that was it. That was in Colombo as well,
• 9:20
  S2: wasn't it? So that would have been tough for the
• 9:22
  S2: Sri Lankans to eat that up.
• 9:23
  S1: So the win all but locks in the Black Caps
• 9:25
  S1: into the T20 World Cup semi-finals. They now face England
• 9:28
  S1: next in Colombo with top spot and the Super Eights
• 9:32
  S1: group on the line. So you know that's going to
• 9:35
  S1: be a tough ask. But, uh, this seems like they
• 9:37
  S1: might have the team that can do it.
• 9:39
  S2: We love a short format.
• 9:40
  S1: Well yeah I mean it's I mean, the the silverware
• 9:43
  S1: has eluded us many times before, but we will wait
• 9:46
  S1: with bated breath and, uh, be back in them. Come
• 9:49
  S1: that game.
• 9:50
  S3: Coming up with the fellas.
• 9:53
  S1: Your chance to have Pepsi pour it on for some
• 9:56
  S1: Jim Beam homegrown praise. All the deets coming up. In
• 9:59
  S1: the meantime, a quick one. What is the name of
• 10:01
  S1: the stadium that the NRL games will be played in

  S3: Giant dunk.
• 10:09
  S1: Hello there. If you've just joined us, welcome on in.

• 10:41
  S1: place to get geed up for Jim Beam Homegrown. There's

• 11:09
  S1: for the oldest competitive pool player heading to a Vegas
• 11:12
  S1: tournament this weekend at the age of 98. She's going
• 11:16
  S1: to be massively disappointed when she bumps into all the Australians.
• 11:18
  S1: They're there for the NRL this weekend. Who are these people?
• 11:23

• 11:36
  S1: have a chat on the radio show tomorrow. He'll be
• 11:38
  S1: battling over there.
• 11:39
  S2: Oh, yeah, he hates the heat. And it is warm
• 11:43
  S2: for a big man.
• 11:44
  S1: Here to see the job in Antarctica would be.
• 11:48
  S2: Perfect for him.

• 12:15
  S1: joined us? Welcome on in. We're just watching the New
• 12:17
  S1: Zealand Golf Open on Sky one. I think it is
• 12:20
  S1: at the moment Jay's like, oh there he is. I
• 12:22
  S1: was like, who's that? Looked up there? It looked like
• 12:23
  S1: some sort of farmer with a big beanie on. Then
• 12:26
  S1: Jay's like Kelly Slater. I was like, oh my gosh.
• 12:29
  S2: The goat with the glorious George Harper junior as well.
• 12:32
  S2: What a magnificent man he is.
• 12:34
  S1: Yeah. Um, pretty cool having him in the country. A
• 12:36
  S1: reminder you can text podcast to 3520 to hear the

  S1: the show this morning chatting all things World Surf League
• 12:45
  S1: and also the New Zealand Open as well.
• 12:47
  S2: Before six, the four lads that attempted to cross the
• 12:51
  S2: Atlantic Ocean in a rowboat and it went horribly, horribly,
• 12:55
  S2: horribly wrong.
• 12:57
  S1: How long ago was this?
• 12:58
  S2: Um, probably about ten years ago now. Yeah, right. It
• 13:02
  S2: is one of the worst things that you'll ever hear.
• 13:04
  S2: But they made a documentary about it, and it's well
• 13:06
  S2: worth a watch.
• 13:06
  S1: And next, some things should not be forgotten. And the
• 13:09
  S1: great Dargaville toilet fiasco of 2013 is one of those.
• 13:14
  S1: Just when you thought it had been flushed down the drain,
• 13:18
  S1: this thing's bubbling back up next. Weezer hash pipe on
• 13:21
  S1: the rock.
• 13:21
  S3: Like the sound of that? You can get the link
• 13:23
  S3: in the show. Notes.
• 13:24
  S1: Silverchair anthem for the year 2000. It is Rock drive
• 13:27
  S1: and the Rock. I know you've all been waiting to
• 13:29
  S1: find out what this is because we're bringing it back
• 13:31
  S1: to the top. The great Dargaville toilet fiasco of 2013
• 13:36
  S1: at Blue Dargaville Tidbits. It was a nightmare for the
• 13:39
  S1: town that weekend. It was actually a whole week, wasn't it,
• 13:42
  S1: Benny boy?
• 13:42
  S3: It was five days. Yeah. You know, they say you never.
• 13:45
  S3: You never have a second chance to make a good
• 13:47
  S3: first impression. And boy, did I cock this up.
• 13:50
  S1: So you. Why'd you book an Airbnb there?
• 13:53
  S3: We didn't. So this was. This was our girlfriend at
• 13:55
  S3: the time. Um, her friend's boyfriend's family have, like, a
• 13:59
  S3: house there. Like an old sort of villa on a
• 14:02
  S3: bit of a farm. Farm area, but a forest, a
• 14:04
  S3: nice river. And we thought, oh, a bunch of us
• 14:06
  S3: will go up there in our uni break for five
• 14:08
  S3: days for a little bit of a getaway. Is he
• 14:10
  S3: doing someone else's driving? Just punching tins all the way
• 14:12
  S3: up there. So by the time I got to Dargaville,
• 14:15
  S3: I was absolutely bursting. So I just go charging into
• 14:19
  S3: the house first. Went in as soon as they opened
• 14:20
  S3: the door straight into the loo. One toilet. This is
• 14:23
  S3: crucial information. I go, I check, I check my like
• 14:28
  S3: stubby on the on the cistern, start taking a leak
• 14:30
  S3: and then as if in like slow motion, the bottle
• 14:33
  S3: starts sliding towards me. It falls. I go to grab it,
• 14:36
  S3: I miss and it lands in like the front part
• 14:39
  S3: of the toilet. The toilet bowl. It just smashes a
• 14:42
  S3: big hole. Just clean out of the front part of
• 14:45
  S3: the bowl.
• 14:46
  S1: Like just goes straight through the porcelain.
• 14:48
  S3: Straight through the porcelain. Just knocks out like a like
• 14:50
  S3: a plate size like. And immediately I panic and my
• 14:54
  S3: stupid brain goes flush. So I just, I just flushed
• 14:57
  S3: immediately and it just floods the bathroom. So now I'm
• 15:01
  S3: just standing there in like, toilet water and piss, just going, man,
• 15:04
  S3: what do I do? I don't even know this bloke.
• 15:06
  S3: Like I have no idea. So I go and tell
• 15:08
  S3: my missus to tell his girlfriend to tell him they
• 15:11
  S3: come back in. We tried to fix it with tin foil,
• 15:14
  S3: which as you as you can imagine, it's not a
• 15:17
  S3: particularly watertight substance.
• 15:20
  S1: Clearly you can tell you guys haven't finished uni at
• 15:22
  S1: this point.
• 15:23
  S2: But you had finished what was in the tin foil.
• 15:25
  S3: I'd never actually finished uni, but that's a story for
• 15:27
  S3: another day.
• 15:29
  S1: And then. So the question needs to be asked. Easy
• 15:31
  S1: to find a plumber.
• 15:32
  S3: No plumbers. Now what we did is I decided to
• 15:35
  S3: dig a little slit trench out in the garden for everyone,
• 15:37
  S3: found a sawhorse and I jimmied up a beautiful outdoor abode.
• 15:42
  S3: I didn't really think about the placement of it though,
• 15:44
  S3: because it was. It basically turned the kitchen window and
• 15:47
  S3: the deck into a viewing platform for whoever was using
• 15:50
  S3: this makeshift trench that I dug. So obviously the girls
• 15:53
  S3: weren't very stoked about it and neither were the guys.
• 15:55
  S3: And we're like, oh, we'll stick it out. And then
• 15:57
  S3: my buddy, um.
• 15:58
  S1: How many days before you did a poo?
• 16:00
  S3: Well, immediately on the first day.
• 16:04
  S1: Panic poo.
• 16:05
  S3: Evacuate my mate. I will say we'll call him Charles.
• 16:08
  S1: Because that's his name.
• 16:10
  S3: He goes, I'm not using this with his viewing platform.
• 16:14
  S3: I'm going off into nature. So he goes for a
• 16:16
  S3: little bit of a walk into the forest next to
• 16:18
  S3: the beach, and he's where he goes. I don't want
• 16:20
  S3: to crap on my pants and on my shoes. So
• 16:22
  S3: he takes them completely off and he's wearing a real
• 16:24
  S3: baggy t shirt and he goes, man, I don't want it.
• 16:26
  S3: Like dripping down the back either. So he takes the
• 16:28
  S3: t shirt off. Little did he know, there was a
• 16:31
  S3: popular walking track.
• 16:32
  S1: Through through.
• 16:34
  S3: The back of the forest there. So he's just this lanky,
• 16:38
  S3: gangly teenage dude, completely naked with his clothes hung in
• 16:42
  S3: a tree, just taking a shit off the side of
• 16:45
  S3: a popular walking track. I don't know who was more
• 16:48
  S3: surprised that international tourists, or Charles, as they come round
• 16:52
  S3: the corner and just find him squatting there.
• 16:54
  S2: Kicking one out in the bush?
• 16:56
  S3: Ah, yeah. So you won't be surprised to know I
• 16:59
  S3: was never invited back to that batch.
• 17:00
  S1: Well, yeah, that's zero parts surprising. The the real trick
• 17:05
  S1: to a nature poo, though, is to hang off the
• 17:08
  S1: tree so you have an arm out on the trunk
• 17:10
  S1: and lean back. That way you can get it away
• 17:13
  S1: from the trousers of your undies. You know you don't
• 17:15
  S1: want it, like you say, kicking back underneath.
• 17:17
  S2: I do find, though, that it makes your butt cheeks
• 17:19
  S2: clench quite a bit when you're leaning back though, so
• 17:21
  S2: you just start smacking out brown lasagna sheets just like
• 17:25
  S2: a big white bag. White.
• 17:27
  S1: Okay, okay.
• 17:30
  S3: Started out as a nice broken toilet story. J.
• 17:35
  S1: Uh, let's just round this out to everyone, we'll call it. Um,
• 17:40
  S1: have you stayed at an Airbnb Booker batch?
• 17:43
  S2: Yeah.
• 17:43
  S1: And what got ruined?
• 17:46
  S3: What have you busted up?
• 17:48
  S2: I've got a cracking high heel through a through a
• 17:51
  S2: TV after the break for you.
• 17:54
  S1: I'll do one better, mate. I'll play some music and
• 17:55
  S1: we won't have a break, eh? Jeez, I'm a nice guy.
• 18:00
  S1: These guys out on the road again this weekend. Oh, yeah.
• 18:02
  S1: You can text us three five, two zero. You can
• 18:04
  S1: call us as well. And bonus points as well, if
• 18:08
  S1: you can beat Benny boys 20s on the property before
• 18:11
  S1: he blew the toilet out. Blind spot. Coming home on
• 18:15
  S1: the rock. Every day's a Saturday. This rock drive on
• 18:23
  S1: the rock. J's having a good old giggle. Uh, so
• 18:26
  S1: Benny Boy managed to drop a beer bottle through, um,
• 18:29
  S1: what essentially was an Airbnb, uh, toilet. And then they
• 18:33
  S1: were all pooing in a ditch on the front lawn
• 18:37
  S1: for the whole week because he buggered the toilet. On
• 18:39
  S1: day one. Couldn't get a plumber out to fix it.
• 18:42
  S1: So pretty hard to beat. He'd been in the house. 20s.
• 18:46
  S2: Yeah.
• 18:46
  S1: And he'd done himself a real mischief, and everyone else
• 18:49
  S1: had to deal with it. But have you had a
• 18:51
  S1: similar sort of situation? Go down a piece of accommodation
• 18:55
  S1: that you're renting. You can text us 3520. I don't
• 18:58
  S1: know who would want to be an Airbnb landlord or
• 19:01
  S1: a landlord.
• 19:02
  S2: Yeah. Um, we.
• 19:03
  S1: People like Jay floating around.
• 19:05
  S2: Yeah. This is probably a little closer to home. We
• 19:07
  S2: had a health and wellness weekend where we were predominantly
• 19:10
  S2: just having green smoothies, and one of the boys, um,
• 19:12
  S2: came tearing around the corner on a kids quad bike
• 19:14
  S2: and jumped it over a fire. And we said to him,
• 19:17
  S2: we said, wow, where'd you get that from? And he goes,
• 19:20
  S2: ash has smashed the door into the garage and found it.
• 19:23
  S1: Oh, no. All right. When I was about 22, we
• 19:28
  S1: went to our family beach, which is now in Boca. Mhm. Um,
• 19:31
  S1: went to there and I had a whole bunch of
• 19:34
  S1: my mates come over for New Year's to the beach,
• 19:35
  S1: and for whatever reason, it was empty at that time
• 19:37
  S1: for that year. And I came out halfway through New
• 19:41
  S1: Year's Eve and saw about 20 people on the front
• 19:45
  S1: deck jumping up and down. And second story. I'm like,
• 19:48
  S1: what are you doing? My granddad built this in the 70s.
• 19:51
  S1: You're gonna go straight through it. He was like, he
• 19:53
  S1: wasn't even a proper builder. He was only okay at things.
• 19:57
  S1: That's why the doors don't close properly.
• 19:59
  S2: This one here from Marty. We had a 30 year
• 20:01
  S2: anniversary work trip to Rarotonga. Me and the wife woke
• 20:04
  S2: up in the morning to absolute carnage in our room.
• 20:06
  S2: It looked like a scene out of the Hangover. The
• 20:08
  S2: couch is broken. The light was broken, the ceiling fan
• 20:11
  S2: was broken. Beer bottles everywhere, wine bottles and the creek.
• 20:15
  S2: And the boss was asleep on the veranda. He smashed
• 20:17
  S2: the place to bits.
• 20:18
  S1: Oh no. That's like that one with the lads on
• 20:20
  S1: the stag do in Thailand. And there's the monkey. They
• 20:23
  S1: wake up and there's a monkey monkey in their room,
• 20:26
  S1: and it's like hanging off the fan, going round in circles,
• 20:29
  S1: making heaps of noise. They wake up and they're like,
• 20:31
  S1: what is that, man?
• 20:32
  S2: Another one here slid down the stairs and our suitcases
• 20:35
  S2: managed to put a hole in the wall at the
• 20:37
  S2: end of the stairs. Found an A4 sheet of paper
• 20:40
  S2: and some wall paint under the house, but the A4
• 20:43
  S2: piece of paper over the hole whacked it with the
• 20:44
  S2: Bunnings mini roller. Bob's your aunties, Nana.
• 20:47
  S1: Oh my gosh.
• 20:48
  S2: Another one here. Only soba made it a stag do.
• 20:51
  S2: Found the owner's lawn mower and mowed a cricket pitch
• 20:53
  S2: into their brand spanking new lawn while we all chewed
• 20:56
  S2: on a bit of cardboard.
• 20:58
  S1: There you.
• 20:58
  S2: Go. It's a big old weekend.
• 21:00
  S1: Just a little bit annoyed at myself, I realized we
• 21:02
  S1: could have called the segment, broke a batch.
• 21:06
  S2: Wasn't. Oh well, wasn't me, but a mate was trying
• 21:13
  S2: to heat up some food with nothing even on the plate.
• 21:15
  S2: He put in for 30 minutes instead of three and
• 21:18
  S2: exploded in the microwave.
• 21:19
  S1: Oh, that'll do it. You're not supposed to do that
• 21:21
  S1: with them, are, you know, put your.
• 21:23
  S2: Food on it first, you nincompoop.
• 21:25
  S1: Nincompoop!
• 21:28
  S13: Get that link in the show. Notes.
• 21:30
  S1: Deftones. Infinite Source. It is the rocket chain dunk. So
• 21:35
  S1: I thought I'd just play this to you because you
• 21:37
  S1: know how your algorithms change, and sometimes you're like, oh,
• 21:41
  S1: it knows me so well. And other times you're like,
• 21:43
  S1: that's a miss. Good luck serving that up to me
• 21:45
  S1: another 20 times. That's a waste of money.
• 21:47
  S2: I just got served up a hungover chicken sandwich by
• 21:51
  S2: Al Brown.
• 21:51
  S1: When's it getting delivered?
• 21:53
  S2: I'm gonna make one right now. I'm not even hungover.
• 21:56
  S2: I just want to get drunk.
• 21:57
  S1: So before. Before. Makes me want to start at the start.
• 22:02
  S1: So before, like before I play this, I just want
• 22:06
  S1: to say, hey, this is an outrageous ad. I haven't
• 22:09
  S1: heard an ad like this. And B, don't worry about
• 22:12
  S1: my marriage. It's fine. If anything, I'm tired from so much,
• 22:16
  S1: it'll make sense in a second.
• 22:17
  S14: Sexless marriages have one thing in common a man who
• 22:21
  S14: grew up being a nice guy. There's a version of
• 22:24
  S14: marriage nobody warns you about. The one where you live
• 22:28
  S14: in the same house, raised the same kids, share the
• 22:31
  S14: same bed and feel completely alone. She's not cruel. She's
• 22:34
  S14: not cheating.
• 22:35
  S15: She just what is this?
• 22:37
  S14: A square between the mortgage and the school pickups. You
• 22:40
  S14: became a co-parent, a provider, a task sharing partner, but
• 22:44
  S14: not a man she desires. You can't remember.
• 22:47
  S15: She doesn't desire you anymore.
• 22:49
  S2: I'm reading between the lines here. I'm actually listening to
• 22:51
  S2: what he's saying.
• 22:52
  S14: The last time.
• 22:54
  S15: Was absolute bollocks.
• 22:57
  S1: Yeah.
• 22:58
  S2: Well, we're just saying before.
• 22:59
  S1: That singing at.
• 23:00
  S2: Our algorithms. Dumb AI singing yet as well, by the way.
• 23:03
  S2: But we were just talking about before how our algorithms
• 23:07
  S2: are in sync. Definitely don't have that one in mind.
• 23:09
  S2: What have you been searching?
• 23:11
  S1: I've just got teeth whitening pop up to whiten my teeth.
• 23:14
  S2: Yeah, pretty white on the deluxe colour chart. Slightly closer
• 23:17
  S2: to a fish and chip chip?
• 23:22
  S1: Well, they look like a packet of cigarettes telling you
• 23:24
  S1: not to smoke them, so probably could do the weed
• 23:26
  S1: tickle up. And I've got mattresses popping up and fold
• 23:31
  S1: out couches. That's basically what I served at the moment.
• 23:33
  S2: Yeah, it's one of those really confronting things. I didn't
• 23:36
  S2: even think about it. But if you just hit on
• 23:38
  S2: Instagram in particular, if you hit the search button and
• 23:41
  S2: it's your explore, it shows what you've been looking at.
• 23:44
  S2: Does it? Yeah. It basically shows what you've been in,
• 23:46
  S2: what your algorithm would be. So if you hit it,
• 23:49
  S2: mine's currently a guy. Have a look at yours.
• 23:52
  S1: Oh man. Some stuff about Dan Hooker a bunch of
• 23:55
  S1: vegetables yelling into a screen telling you why they're good.
• 23:59
  S1: Uh ChatGPT was asked how to live to 140, and
• 24:02
  S1: the answer was simple, logical, and totally surprising.
• 24:06
  S2: Uh, mine's showing tugboats pushing boats into walls. Um, cheap,
• 24:10
  S2: cheap tattoos. A guy getting his head kicked in, um,
• 24:13
  S2: Sean Strickland, uh, the rock kissing some chick who's super,
• 24:17
  S2: super black. But I think that might be AI.
• 24:19
  S1: And I've got a Milwaukee thong as an a G banger.
• 24:26
  S1: That's an interesting one.
• 24:27
  S2: Just a couple of losers, you know.
• 24:30
  S1: Well, everyone already knew that. I think people listening to
• 24:32
  S1: us make themselves feel better, right? And we do a
• 24:35
  S1: very good job at it. Uh, so just be aware
• 24:38
  S1: of that, guys.
• 24:38
  S2: Just be aware of if you're searching up different parts,
• 24:42
  S2: you know, to stimulate different bits of your body all
• 24:44
  S2: the time and various different pictures of women.
• 24:47
  S1: You'll just get like an AI song singing about a flashlight.
• 24:51
  S13: Coming up next.
• 24:53
  S2: Yeah.
• 24:53
  S1: It's that little buddy brain. Guys wouldn't mind trying one
• 24:56
  S1: of those one day, but I'm not a sicko. Here's
• 24:57
  S1: your quick one. The answer on the other side of
• 24:59
  S1: the break. What is the record for rowing across the Atlantic?
• 25:02
  S1: And then a bit of a deep dive on these
• 25:04
  S1: fellas as well. We'll have the answer in a couple
• 25:06
  S1: of moments. And also I am giant. And the pumpkins
• 25:10
  S1: as well.
• 25:10
  S13: Like the sauna there. You can get the link in
• 25:12
  S13: the show notes.
• 25:13
  S1: Hello there. If you've just joined us. We asked this
• 25:15
  S1: question before the break. It was our quick one. What
• 25:16
  S1: is the record for rowing across the Atlantic?
• 25:19
  S2: These are crazy. The fastest it's ever been done is
• 25:21
  S2: 29 days, 14 hours and 34 minutes. Wild. Uh, that
• 25:25
  S2: was set by the four man crew. The four oarsmen
• 25:28
  S2: back in 2018 are fastest female pair 38 days and
• 25:33
  S2: fastest solo female 40 days 21 hours.
• 25:36
  S1: Wow.
• 25:37
  S2: They're basically rowing from La Gomera to Antigua.
• 25:41
  S1: I don't know where both of those places are, but
• 25:43
  S1: it sounds like a long way apart.
• 25:47
  S2: Sounds like a month apart on a rowboat.
• 25:51
  S16: Like a blind man at an orgy. I was going
• 25:53
  S16: to have to feel things out.
• 25:54
  S10: Jay and Doug's drive home. Rock drive.
• 25:58
  S1: Lenny the Eagle. Kravitz. Paralyzed. Eight after four. Drunk driving
• 26:02
  S1: you home on the Rock. Quick! Well done to the
• 26:05
  S1: 2026 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nominees The Black Crowes,
• 26:09
  S1: Billy Idol, Phil Collins, Iron Maiden, Oasis. Let's get into it.
• 26:13
  S1: Nicknamed ninjas.
• 26:22
  S17: Forgiveness, please. Nickname. ninjas.
• 26:26
  S1: You guys have a particular set of skills and you
• 26:28
  S1: know how to use them. Here's the scenario. So there's
• 26:31
  S1: a guy at work turns up every day, but he's
• 26:33
  S1: an odd one, complains about anything and everything, but he
• 26:35
  S1: comes in with all these weird scenarios like, would you
• 26:38
  S1: rather slap a ball in the backside or sleep with
• 26:40
  S1: a monkey? Or tells us the difference, uh, the different
• 26:43
  S1: types of cows. And then there's, uh, I'll give you
• 26:45
  S1: $50 to ride that sheep. He's easily offended, but he
• 26:48
  S1: can't take it. It takes everything to heart. Please help.
• 26:53
  S2: Some help in the form of Barry Holden's suggestion. His
• 26:55
  S2: nickname should be slinky. Not much use, but would put
• 26:59
  S2: one hell of a smile on your face, pushing him
• 27:00
  S2: down a set of stairs.
• 27:04
  S1: I'll back it up with this one. Quinn Johnson. What
• 27:06
  S1: about dildo? He can give it, but can't take it.
• 27:12
  S2: Gordon Murray, one ply toilet paper. Can't handle shit.
• 27:18
  S1: He's the waxy sort. That weird square stuff. Hey, uh,
• 27:21
  S1: that's from Ritchie Moon, the Bad Waiter, always dishing it
• 27:24
  S1: out but never takes it back.
• 27:27
  S2: Uh, Greg Tucker suggested prunes. Okay, in small doses, but
• 27:31
  S2: bound to give you the shits.
• 27:33
  S1: That's from Nathan Rasmussen. Tony. Just because he reminds me
• 27:37
  S1: of a guy I used to work with called Tony.
• 27:40
  S1: That's from Damien Henly. The glove box full of crap.
• 27:42
  S1: You can't shut him up. Peter Mitchell, Nimbus. The type
• 27:46
  S1: of cloud. It's always a better day once he disappears.
• 27:49
  S2: There's one here from Kody Hendra. The Turkish delight. Always there,
• 27:53
  S2: but no one likes them. Uh, Barry Holden, the Mona Lisa,
• 28:01
  S2: the Mona Lisa. Uh, Curtis beard, the appendix. No idea
• 28:06
  S2: what he does or what he's doing, but we'd prefer
• 28:07
  S2: to have him out.
• 28:10
  S1: That's from Chris Morton. The politician talks bollocks, gives stick,
• 28:13
  S1: and is easily offended when he receives it back. And
• 28:16
  S1: Brian Haddock splinter. Irritating prick that gets under your skin.
• 28:20
  S2: Great stuff. Those were spectacular.
• 28:22
  S1: You got options. I couldn't help but notice that you
• 28:25
  S1: sent that through in the Sniper's Nightmare Facebook page. Anonymous.
• 28:28
  S2: Yeah.
• 28:29
  S1: So. Anonymous. You have options.
• 28:31
  S2: Someone just put in from anonymous. Call him Jay Cartwright. Clearly, clearly,
• 28:37
  S2: clearly someone who's exactly the same that they work with.
• 28:42
  S1: Hey, mate, would you rather slap a ball on the
• 28:44
  S1: backside or sleep with a monkey?
• 28:46
  S2: Late edition from Ethan Clark. Is it too early? Why
• 28:50
  S2: don't you call him Steve Irwin? Takes everything to the heart.
• 28:55
  S1: Too soon. Too soon? Nah, I'm not okay with that.
• 28:58
  S2: Name, neither.
• 28:59
  S1: I wish you had a filter.
• 29:01
  S2: Me neither. What? Yes.
• 29:04
  S13: Like the sound of that. You can get the link
• 29:06
  S13: in the show notes.
• 29:09
  S1: Pearl Jam Record's rock drive in the Rock Thursday afternoon. Uh,
• 29:13
  S1: the award winning Morning Rumble had Kelly Slater on the
• 29:17
  S1: show this morning. He's over for the New Zealand Golf Open,
• 29:20
  S1: which is exciting happening out of Millbrook and Queenstown. Is it?
• 29:23
  S2: Yep. Yep. They're going to be, um, there's quite a
• 29:25
  S2: lot of golf actually happening over the, the next week,
• 29:27
  S2: a lot of tournaments in and around the courses. And he,
• 29:30
  S2: I think covers it off in this chat that he
• 29:31
  S2: had with him the most probably expensive round of golf
• 29:34
  S2: that you can have in New Zealand.
• 29:35
  S11: New Zealand Golf.
• 29:36
  S3: Open is on this weekend, the Pro-Am as well. The
• 29:39
  S3: 11 I mean he's a he's an amazing golfer but
• 29:42
  S3: just the world's greatest surfer Kelly Slater good morning. The
• 29:46
  S3: goats welcome the Kelly Slater bro.
• 29:49
  S2: Welcome to.
• 29:50
  S3: The Rumble.
• 29:50
  S18: That was a huge golf clap right there.
• 29:52
  S3: Thanks guys. I know, uh, so you're the world's greatest surfer. Um,
• 29:56
  S3: and you're a scratch golfer. So when did you start golf?
• 29:59
  S18: Uh, gosh, I've been golfing for 30 years now.
• 30:03
  S3: So all around the sort of the same time you
• 30:04
  S3: were the world's greatest surfer?
• 30:06
  S18: I was, I, I started playing when I was about 23.
• 30:10
  S18: So I'd been 3 or 4 years into competing full
• 30:13
  S18: time as a pro on the tour, but I found
• 30:17
  S18: golf and got really addicted to it. It kind of
• 30:19
  S18: took away from my surf time a little bit, but
• 30:20
  S18: it actually sort of helped improve my mental game competitively.
• 30:24
  S18: Why so?
• 30:24
  S19: Just because it is such a punishing game mentally?
• 30:27
  S18: Yeah, because you just start hating yourself and you find
• 30:30
  S18: some deep rooted issues and you get rid of them.
• 30:34
  S3: Uh.
• 30:35
  S19: Kelly Slater is with us on the show new Zealand
• 30:37
  S19: Golf Open happening this weekend. Now, you're not a stranger
• 30:39
  S19: to New Zealand and golf. Uh, I've been lucky enough
• 30:42
  S19: to be invited, and I've played at, um, a couple
• 30:45
  S19: of times, which is New Zealand's number one golf course.
• 30:48
  S19: Got to be invited to play there or be a member.
• 30:50
  S19: You've played there with a friend of ours, Israel Adesanya,
• 30:53
  S19: the last stylebender. How does he go golf? How did
• 30:56
  S19: those rounds go? And how much have you played here?
• 30:58
  S18: Uh, the. We had one round together. We played at, uh, tiara, and, uh,
• 31:03
  S18: it was fun. His brother came and a couple friends.
• 31:06
  S18: We had a good time. Um, he he loves his golf.
• 31:09
  S18: Pretty funny. You know, maybe. Maybe you wouldn't think a
• 31:12
  S18: surf would love golf. Maybe you wouldn't think a fighter
• 31:13
  S18: would love golf. But, you know, there's just some burning
• 31:16
  S18: desire there to improve the technique that that resides within us.
• 31:21
  S18: But as far as it goes, I just love it.
• 31:24
  S18: Rick Kane, who's the founder of the club, uh, we
• 31:28
  S18: became friends about close to ten years ago, and he's
• 31:30
  S18: invited me to play as a member, guest tournaments with him.
• 31:33
  S18: And I've become really close friends with my buddy Reuben,
• 31:35
  S18: who's a caddie up there, and he surfs the area. And, uh,
• 31:38
  S18: so I really enjoy getting back there now.
• 31:41
  S20: Kelly, it smells here. The cells coming to to Raglan
• 31:45
  S20: when you were at the top of your game, how
• 31:47
  S20: often did you come to New Zealand to surf? Obviously competitively. Uh,
• 31:52
  S20: not that often, but what are your memories of surfing
• 31:54
  S20: New Zealand, and did you just turn up at breaks
• 31:56
  S20: and people go, bro, are you Kelly Slater?
• 32:00
  S18: I actually don't have much surf history in New Zealand. Uh,
• 32:03
  S18: I have probably more golf history. We've never had a
• 32:05
  S18: World Tour event. We've had qualifying series events, um, like
• 32:09
  S18: just smaller events, but never had a full fledged world
• 32:13
  S18: tour event in, in New Zealand until now. so that'll
• 32:16
  S18: be great. Billy Stairmand got, uh, you know, your New
• 32:20
  S18: Zealand boy got the, uh, wild card. And I think
• 32:22
  S18: there's one more up for grabs for someone through a
• 32:25
  S18: trials of some sort, so that'll be super exciting. Obviously,
• 32:28
  S18: Raglan's sort of the premier. Name when you when you
• 32:30
  S18: hear about surfing in New Zealand. So it should be
• 32:33
  S18: a really great event. I imagine the crowds will turn
• 32:35
  S18: up pretty huge. Hopefully you get some really great surf.
• 32:38
  S18: It's a good time of year for it.
• 32:40
  S1: I cannot wait for that. Yeah, I've already booked my accommodation.
• 32:43
  S1: I'll be down there. It's also the weekend of my birthday.
• 32:46
  S2: Yeah. What a treat you are in for.
• 32:48
  S1: I haven't seen you since I was 14, but I'm
• 32:50
  S1: here for it.
• 32:51
  S2: Yeah, mate, there'll be no space in the lineup at all. Um,
• 32:54
  S2: they didn't touch on it. Or maybe they did in the.
• 32:56
  S1: Hang on. Did you think I wanted to go down
• 32:58
  S1: there to surf?
• 33:00
  S2: I thought you might have been giving it a crack
• 33:02
  S2: for the first time.
• 33:02
  S1: Excuse me. Kelly. Locals only.
• 33:05
  S2: Hey, guys.
• 33:05
  S1: Do you mind if I grab this one on my
• 33:06
  S1: boogie board? Hey, it's more the fact that I haven't
• 33:09
  S1: paid much attention to it over the straight hander.
• 33:12
  S2: Um, but he, um, they didn't touch on it in
• 33:14
  S2: the chat there, but, uh, Kelly Slater and Izzy Dag, uh,
• 33:18
  S2: basically played six holes on six different courses, and they
• 33:21
  S2: got there, and the the golf cart was a helicopter, including, uh,
• 33:25
  S2: the new golf course at Glendhu Bay. Um, which is incredible. Um,
• 33:30
  S2: which Derby's old man owns? Well.
• 33:32
  S1: On Lake. Warner Lake. Wanaka.
• 33:34
  S2: Yeah. Impressive. Like such an insane setup.
• 33:37
  S1: That's cool man. Uh, next placemakers Total Recall. Uh, your
• 33:41
  S1: chance went up to $500 in placemakers vouchers. If you'd
• 33:45
  S1: like to play. Oh, eight handed rock foam. We'll explain
• 33:48
  S1: all and get you on after this.
• 33:49
  S13: After was 90.2 Auckland.
• 33:53
  S10: The rocks Jay and dunk.
• 33:54
  S13: The rock drive.
• 33:57
  S1: Hello there. If you just joined us we asked this
• 33:59
  S1: question before the break. It was our quick one. How
• 34:01
  S1: many eggs does a praying mantis lay?
• 34:03
  S2: Uh praying mantis female praying mantis can spit out anywhere
• 34:06
  S2: between 50 and 400 eggs at one time, encased in
• 34:10
  S2: a hardened foam structure called an theca.
• 34:13
  S1: That's too many. I don't think the world would be like, oh,
• 34:18
  S1: there's no more praying mantises, are they?
• 34:20
  S2: They also eat the male after banging the May.
• 34:22
  S1: Oh, yeah, I heard they eat 2 or 3 if
• 34:24
  S1: they've had a real good go on the malnourished.
• 34:28
  S2: Imagine Bonny Blue was a praying mantis. Should we chock
• 34:31
  S2: a block?
• 34:32
  S1: Let's not give a chance to win big with picnics.
• 34:36
  S1: Foo fighters tickets on sale for Auckland and Christchurch. As
• 34:39
  S1: of now on the NZ generator on the Rock.
• 34:44
  S13: Listen to our other podcast not for radio. Wherever you're
• 34:46
  S13: listening to this one, just search. Not for radio.
• 34:49
  S1: The Black Keys, Eagle Birds, Rock drive with your old
• 34:53
  S1: mates Shandong Thursday afternoon. How do we get to hear
• 34:56
  S1: now this coming weekend? It feels like we've had preseason
• 34:59
  S1: games for weeks on end. Well, we actually have. But
• 35:02
  S1: the NRL kicks off and Vegas, which is awesome. Allegiant
• 35:05
  S1: Stadium and there is a couple of games. 315 Sunday
• 35:10
  S1: afternoon sees the, um, Newcastle Knights take on the Queensland
• 35:14
  S1: Cowboys and then after that you've got Saint George taking on, uh,
• 35:18
  S1: the Bulldogs. And I said this earlier and the odds
• 35:21
  S1: have actually come down, but, uh, I reckon it's just
• 35:24
  S1: the Cowboys are going to get up over the Knights
• 35:26
  S1: and paying $1.55. And if you couple that up, this
• 35:29
  S1: is the bit that I'm sort of same game multi
• 35:31
  S1: looking at. And we are hosting a pot on um
• 35:34
  S1: Sunday afternoon for this J.
• 35:36
  S2: Yes. Reminder I'll be there. Just not physically. Probably not
• 35:40
  S2: mentally either but I'll be there.
• 35:41
  S1: Your body will be there. I'll be doing the work.
• 35:44
  S1: That's okay because I'm used to that.
• 35:45
  S2: Yeah. Um, we're keeping we're consistent with our approach.
• 35:49
  S1: The Knights have lost their last five games. Cowboys have
• 35:51
  S1: won two of the last three. Their last one was
• 35:53
  S1: a loss though. And then so we have a look
• 35:56
  S1: at the top like the favorite try anytime try scorer
• 35:59
  S1: Murray Toolangi. Yeah it's meant to be mate. My son's
• 36:03
  S1: name is Muzz as well. Um get him in there.
• 36:05
  S1: And so that's paying like 270 or something like that
• 36:08
  S1: for a same game multi Happy days, I reckon.
• 36:11
  S2: This isn't a bad one, Dominic. Young Scott Drinkwater and
• 36:14
  S2: Tom Dearden. End times, all of them. 1824.
• 36:18
  S1: Yeah, I'm going off the bulk. Any time. Try scorers.
• 36:21
  S2: But that's like this is one. Here's another, here's another.
• 36:24
  S2: This is out of the bit social part. So these
• 36:26
  S2: are the popular ones. So basically this is a five
• 36:28
  S2: legger that 414 other people have punted on. Fletcher sharp
• 36:33
  S2: any time Greg Mazure any time Jackson. Purdue. Any time. Murray. Toolangi.
• 36:37
  S2: Any time. Tommy Dearden. Any time.
• 36:39
  S1: One 1518 yeah, but then you go, you basically could
• 36:42
  S1: be picking every try scorer in the game.
• 36:45
  S2: Yeah.
• 36:46
  S1: That's tricky.
• 36:47
  S2: It's been done.
• 36:48
  S1: Not that many times. Anyway, these are the arguments myself
• 36:51
  S1: and Jay will have in the hour lead up to
• 36:53
  S1: spin in the Rockpile.
• 36:54
  S2: Yeah, because I like to go these monstrous Maltese, um,
• 36:58
  S2: and dunk's a bit more. Just make money, you know?
• 37:00
  S1: Do you know what, though? Jay will hit one and win, like,
• 37:02
  S1: 30 grand one time, and I'll just never hear the
• 37:05
  S1: end of it. Yeah, yeah, never.
• 37:07
  S2: 26 is as the year of the 26 league multi.
• 37:11
  S2: You watch this space.
• 37:13
  S1: Can you even get a 26 league multi on the
• 37:16
  S1: same game.
• 37:17
  S2: No not on the same game. I'm going to put
• 37:19
  S2: it across everything. I'll be doing hamster racing all the
• 37:21
  S2: way through to inline figure skating.
• 37:24

• 37:26
  S1: to win right now. And also food delivery for Sunday afternoon. Uh,

• 38:00
  S2: in the Bet social, um, part of it. So they've
• 38:02
  S2: got markets popular. And then for you as same game multi.
• 38:06
  S2: So you can go up to ten bucks for your
• 38:08
  S2: same game. Multi 10 to 20 gives you all the odds.
• 38:11
  S2: 20 to 50 and then 50 plus. So you hit
• 38:14
  S2: on whichever tab you want. It gives you all of
• 38:15
  S2: the betting options there. That's cool. Very cool.
• 38:18
  S1: They keep making that app better and better don't they
• 38:20
  S1: obviously are 18 punt responsibly uh get texting you to 3520.
• 38:24
  S1: Give us four minutes and we'll be back with the

  S13: The rock. Drive.
• 38:33
  S1: The offspring self esteem and his rock driving the rock G.
• 38:37
  S1: I hope that camera in there is capturing Benny Boy,
• 38:39
  S1: trying to drag that wire out of the back of
• 38:41
  S1: the desk there. They look like hard work, bro. Yeah,
• 38:47
  S1: it looks luggage. If you're new to the show, Benny
• 38:50
  S1: Boy is our executive producer. The replacement of show boss Tiggs,
• 38:53
  S1: who went to Walkinshaw Racing Supercars team.
• 38:57
  S2: And she's loving every second of it at the moment,
• 38:58
  S2: which is great. And I think she quickly realized how
• 39:01
  S2: much work goes into packing out of a Supercars event, Mhm.
• 39:05
  S2: Particularly when you normally get three hours and you get
• 39:07
  S2: an hour and a half.
• 39:08
  S1: They got the Monday off after the racing so it's
• 39:10
  S1: quite good. So they're in Melbourne next weekend. Yeah. And
• 39:12
  S1: then a couple of weeks later in Taupo.
• 39:14
  S2: Which in it's like Melbourne coincides with the formula one.
• 39:17
  S2: So it's just sick.
• 39:18
  S1: Crazy. You've done that.
• 39:19
  S2: Yeah. It's it's one of the greatest weekends around.
• 39:22
  S1: I haven't done that. I need to do that.
• 39:23
  S2: Yeah. It's particularly if you get some real you get
• 39:27
  S2: some real good individuals together and you get a really
• 39:29
  S2: cruisey number on a corporate gift, you know, corporate sort
• 39:32
  S2: of hosting suite setup.
• 39:34
  S1: Well, that'd be the way to do it. That would
• 39:35
  S1: be way everyone would do it if they could.
• 39:37
  S2: Red bull, I know you're listening. Send this over.
• 39:40
  S1: Oh, yeah.
• 39:41
  S2: Let's take a team.
• 39:42
  S1: I look like a Red bull athlete. I look good
• 39:44
  S1: on all their photos.
• 39:45
  S2: Yeah.
• 39:46
  S1: Wouldn't I if I sucked it in a little bit?
• 39:48
  S1: Not a lot.
• 39:49
  S2: They might look to be firing somebody out of a cannon.
• 39:50
  S2: I reckon you would. You'd fit the bill.
• 39:54
  S1: You're not going to start the race for.
• 39:57
  S2: Just dunk across the course.
• 40:00
  S1: Um, now, I also want to get you to go
• 40:04
  S1: to State of Origin this year. Yeah. Bucket list. So
• 40:06
  S1: we're doing Bathurst later in the year. That's a special place.
• 40:10
  S2: Um, those packages are still available to, uh, if you're
• 40:12
  S2: wanting to go.
• 40:12
  S1: I've got some left.
• 40:13
  S2: Yeah, I think there might be a couple left.
• 40:15
  S1: Alright, well, I'm going to guess because we've talked about
• 40:17
  S1: it for a couple of weeks at Bathurst A3520. If
• 40:19
  S1: you want to join me and Jane Bathurst that's going
• 40:21
  S1: to be awesome. Now back to Beecher and the NRL.

  S2: of 2013 has reared its ugly head again.
• 41:04
  S1: Headset. Are we going to revisit that? Mhm. That's the
• 41:08
  S1: story that needs to be told on a Thursday evening.

• 41:13
  S1: to have it for 5:10.

  S1: we just pretend this is, uh, hasn't just happened? Okay. Uh,
• 42:17
  S1: and so Jay's talking off air during that song, and
• 42:20
  S1: he's saying to me.
• 42:21
  S2: Guess how many, um, endemic CKD species there are in
• 42:25
  S2: New Zealand? Ooh. And because very loud at the moment,
• 42:28
  S2: very cicada.
• 42:29
  S1: The boy listening through the glass window there says instantly 42.
• 42:34
  S2: 42 cicada species in New Zealand. That's why.
• 42:38
  S1: Pacquiao. How did you know that, Benny boy?
• 42:41
  S13: I think we've got exactly the same Instagram feed. I
• 42:43
  S13: saw it last night.
• 42:43
  S2: Okay. Yeah. Oh, what's happened is, as women become in sync,
• 42:48
  S2: the three of us have most definitely become in sync.
• 42:50
  S2: And in terms of our algorithms.
• 42:53
  S1: That's a concern. Yeah.
• 42:56
  S2: Which depending on who's got the strongest.
• 42:58
  S1: Everyone's talking about it. It's just all coming up in
• 43:01
  S1: your matched algorithm.
• 43:03
  S2: Well.
• 43:04
  S1: It's pretty impressive, though.
• 43:05
  S2: That's amazing.
• 43:06
  S1: I think I've got all 42 of those species in
• 43:09
  S1: the bank and behind my house. It's that loud?
• 43:11
  S2: You probably do. Uh, and then another. My my only
• 43:14
  S2: other disturbing little bug fact that I've got is that
• 43:17
  S2: they have discovered a caterpillar. Which is this how this
• 43:21
  S2: is nature at its absolute best. They've discovered a caterpillar
• 43:25
  S2: that kills other insects and then sews the insects bodies
• 43:29
  S2: to his back. So it's like a full, like a
• 43:32
  S2: full Hannibal Lecter set up.
• 43:34
  S1: Ooh.
• 43:35
  S2: Yeah. So it walks around with all of the skeletons
• 43:38
  S2: of these flies that it eats on its back.
• 43:41
  S1: That's pretty badass.
• 43:42
  S2: That's pretty badass.
• 43:43
  S1: Yeah, you wouldn't mess with them. Uh, and keeping with
• 43:47
  S1: native species here in New Zealand as well. Jam this
• 43:49
  S1: one in, too. Before we get to this outrageous AI song. Uh,
• 43:53
  S1: different cover of, uh, Billie Jean's Michael Jackson's Billie Jean.
• 43:58
  S1: The kakapo have had a great season of rooting.
• 44:01
  S2: Yes.
• 44:02
  S1: Slamming the the berries, getting them. I don't know if
• 44:05
  S1: they've been getting drunk and frisky or whatever, but. How's this?
• 44:09
  S1: This is, course, the flightless parrot. Um, only place in
• 44:11
  S1: the world is here in New Zealand. New Zealand, you
• 44:13
  S1: get them? They were near extinction ten years ago. There
• 44:16
  S1: was only 50 left. Now there's like 200. I reckon
• 44:18
  S1: this is going to be one of the biggest seasons
• 44:20
  S1: ever for them.
• 44:21
  S2: Yeah, it gets exponentially better the more they bang.
• 44:24
  S1: They should do pay per views for that. Oh yes.
• 44:28
  S1: You were saying before was it? Okay. Moving on here
• 44:31
  S1: is this air cover. It's ridiculous. This is, uh, what
• 44:35
  S1: if Michael Jackson's, uh, Billie Jean was an Irish folk song.
• 44:40
  S23: She was more like a beauty queen from a film scene.
• 44:45
  S23: I said, don't mind, but what do you mean? I
• 44:50
  S23: am the voice.
• 44:50
  S11: Down.
• 44:51
  S23: Who will dance on the floor in the round. She
• 44:56
  S23: said I am the one who will dance on the
• 45:00
  S23: floor in the round.
• 45:05
  S24: Of mine.
• 45:06
  S2: Whipping into a thick, creamy pint and having to listen to.
• 45:09
  S24: That.
• 45:11
  S23: As she caused a scene. Then every head turned with
• 45:15
  S23: eyes that dreamed of being the one who would dance
• 45:20
  S23: on the floor in the round. But Billie Jean is
• 45:27
  S23: not my lover. Oh my God, oh my God, she's
• 45:31
  S23: just a girl who claims that I am the one.
• 45:36
  S23: But the kid is not my son. She says I
• 45:39
  S23: am very cool.
• 45:42
  S1: Do you know, um. I forget what website it is,
• 45:45
  S1: but there's like a, uh. I'm feeling lucky button when
• 45:49
  S1: you can't make a decision. They need that on Spotify, eh?
• 45:52
  S2: Yeah.
• 45:52
  S1: And then it just goes bang. Whacks you some Irish
• 45:55
  S1: folk music just to mix things up. See the bloody
• 45:58
  S1: K-pop demon hunters mixed in with tool at the moment?
• 46:02
  S1: And Yungblud, which is what the kids are into.
• 46:04
  S2: Yeah, I'm loving a little, loving a little sort of
• 46:07
  S2: ramshackle runaway on some of those tracks that we've been
• 46:10
  S2: listening to.
• 46:10
  S1: Yeah, it's good man. Uh yungbluds. Um, IDLES volume two
• 46:14
  S1: or whatever it's called. Very good. There's some real good
• 46:16
  S1: tunes in there. My boys have been absolutely loving it.
• 46:19
  S1: Give us a couple of moments. Got to be back
• 46:20
  S1: with all the details. How you can be off to
• 46:24
  S1: the Daytona 500 Speedway to see Foo Fighters and Guns
• 46:28
  S1: N roses, and we'll stick with America. The latest proposed
• 46:33
  S1: USC white House fight card. The strokes last night. Rock
• 46:38
  S1: drive on the Rock.
• 46:40
  S13: The Rock drive podcast.
• 46:41
  S1: Linkin Park up in your bottom. It is rock. Drive
• 46:45
  S1: on the Rock. And tomorrow is your last chance before
• 46:49
  S1: 5 p.m. to hear your boarding call. You got to
• 46:51
  S1: be caller number 12 for Rock the globe 12. Your
• 46:54
  S1: chance to spend five nights in Florida at the Daytona
• 46:58
  S1: Speedway and headline acts Foo Fighters, guns N roses. 160
• 47:03
  S1: plus bands across this bill. And, um, yeah, just one
• 47:07
  S1: more chance. So we'll make we'll make the draw for that.
• 47:09
  S1: Like tomorrow night at 5:10 and someone's going.
• 47:13
  S2: That's a quick turnaround, isn't it?
• 47:15
  S1: Oh. It's crazy.
• 47:17
  S2: Um, the UFC, white House. Yes. This is what, like it's.
• 47:20
  S2: They've announced that, um, Pereira is going to be up
• 47:23
  S2: against Chimaev, which is going to be a great fight.
• 47:27
  S1: Not if someone rolls all over the other one.
• 47:29
  S2: That's what I'm. Yeah, I think that a lot of
• 47:32
  S2: people will be learning from that last fight that he
• 47:34
  S2: had and just going, I can't be bothered with the
• 47:36
  S2: smother fest.
• 47:36
  S1: Oh, surely Dana won't just be like bra backhand. I'll
• 47:39
  S1: give you a million bucks if you don't roll all
• 47:40
  S1: over him. No one wants to see that this is
• 47:42
  S1: Memorial Weekend.
• 47:43
  S2: The hope was that Pereira would fight Ciryl Gane and
• 47:47
  S2: that he would jump up to heavyweight.
• 47:48
  S1: Oh, yeah, that would have been good.
• 47:49
  S2: That would be quite sick. Um, the other, uh, the
• 47:51
  S2: other fights that they reckon will we'll be getting announced
• 47:53
  S2: a tapuria versus Justin Gaethje.
• 47:56
  S1: Oh.
• 47:57
  S2: Which is that one?
• 47:57
  S1: Yes, yes.
• 47:58
  S2: Yes, that'll be a monster. Harrison versus Nunez. Um, females. Um,
• 48:03
  S2: McGregor versus Diaz three.
• 48:06
  S1: That hasn't been confirmed.
• 48:07
  S2: No no no no no. But that's what they're wanting.
• 48:09
  S1: And I would love that.
• 48:10
  S2: And, uh, Colby Covington versus Paddy Pimblett is another one
• 48:13
  S2: that they've, um, said would be a possibility.
• 48:16
  S1: The McGregor Diaz fight would be like a nice nostalgic fight, almost.
• 48:21
  S1: You'd want to see it, but, you know, it's not
• 48:23
  S1: going to be at the level of some of those
• 48:24
  S1: other fights we've had recently. Because I've been out of
• 48:26
  S1: the game for quite a while.
• 48:28
  S2: I'd want to see Aspinall versus Jon Jones.
• 48:31
  S1: What's, um, Nick Diaz? Imagine him fighting McGregor. I would
• 48:35
  S1: love to see that. He was way better than Nate,
• 48:37
  S1: but then ended up getting banned from the sport for
• 48:38
  S1: like six years for smoking weed. Now it's legal in
• 48:41
  S1: every state.
• 48:41
  S2: Yeah, that's.
• 48:42
  S1: Right. He was always the better fighter.
• 48:44
  S2: Yeah, he was crazy good.
• 48:45
  S1: Yeah. And also crazy.
• 48:47
  S2: Yeah.
• 48:48
  S1: Which was like crazy versus crazy. It would be awesome.
• 48:51
  S1: What about you? Go. I mean, probably slightly unfair, but
• 48:54
  S1: it's like, imagine, um, say, Nick does two rounds. Nate
• 48:58
  S1: does two. Three rounds.
• 49:00
  S2: Like a a tag team UFC event would be awesome.
• 49:03
  S1: Conor would be the one to say yes to that.
• 49:05
  S2: Yeah, yeah, you you two fighters and you basically can
• 49:08
  S2: tag out if you're, like, about to get choked out,
• 49:10
  S2: you can tap out.
• 49:13
  S1: This is why we're not in charge.
• 49:14
  S2: Yeah, yeah.
• 49:15
  S1: You can switch.
• 49:15
  S2: Out. It's just an endless fight.
• 49:17
  S1: Uh, righto. Give us a couple of moments. Got to
• 49:18
  S1: be back with late mail. A chance for us to
• 49:20
  S1: get to some of the stuff we haven't had a
• 49:21
  S1: chance to get to some correspondents from the UK as well.
• 49:24
  S1: One of our big UK rock listeners, Danny Carroll. He's
• 49:30
  S1: a great man. Loves it.
• 49:31
  S2: Good to have you with us, mate.
• 49:33
  S1: Grinspoon. Chemical heart on the Rock.
• 49:35
  S13: How are you? Thanks for listening.
• 49:37
  S1: Linkin Park up in your bottom. It is rock. Drive
• 49:40
  S1: on the rock and tomorrow is your last chance before
• 49:44
  S1: 5 p.m. to hear your boarding call. You got to
• 49:46
  S1: be caller number 12 for Rock the globe 12. Your

• 49:58
  S1: plus bands across this bill. And, um, yeah, just one
• 50:02
  S1: more chance. So we'll make we'll make the draw for that.
• 50:05
  S1: Like tomorrow night at 5:10 at May. Someone's going.
• 50:09
  S2: That's a quick turnaround, isn't it?
• 50:10
  S1: Oh it's crazy.
• 50:12
  S2: Um, the UFC, white House.
• 50:13
  S1: Yes.
• 50:14
  S2: This is what, like it's. They've announced that, um, Pereira
• 50:17
  S2: is going to be up against Shamir, which is going

  S2: mother fest.
• 50:31
  S1: Oh, surely Dana won't just be like bra, backhand. I'll

  S2: Good to have you with us, mate.
• 52:28
  S1: Grinspoon. Chemical heart on the Rock.
• 52:30
  S13: Like the sound of that. You can get the link
• 52:32
  S13: in the show notes.
• 52:33
  S1: Hell of a tune, an excess never tear us apart.
• 52:36
  S1: It is rock. Drive in the Rock. Thursday evening we're
• 52:39
  S1: almost on the home run to the weekend. And a
• 52:42
  S1: little bit of late. Mail for you now. A chance
• 52:44
  S1: for us to get to some of the stuff we
• 52:45
  S1: haven't had a chance to get to. Oh, by the way,
• 52:49
  S1: I forgot to tell you this earlier as well. If
• 52:50
  S1: you are catching Air New Zealand flight anytime soon, they
• 52:53
  S1: have now banned EarPods and all Bluetooth headphones from being
• 52:56
  S1: put in checked luggage due to fire safety fears.
• 53:00
  S2: I wonder if that's little speakers as well then.
• 53:02
  S1: One would imagine. So yes, anything with a lithium ion battery,
• 53:06
  S1: they're not super keen being down there, are they?
• 53:09
  S2: Understandably so. I've got a little bit international, um, international correspondence.
• 53:14
  S1: Yeah, that's from Danny Carroll. So Danny Carroll is talking
• 53:17
  S1: about something that's so good looking that it caused an accident.
• 53:20
  S1: This is from yesterday's radio show. He said I went
• 53:22
  S1: through a stage of buying old jags, and with the
• 53:24
  S1: cost of fuel on the size of the fuel tanks,
• 53:26
  S1: it was painful to fill them up. But then this happened.
• 53:29
  S1: I pull up to the pumps, prepared to dump a
• 53:31
  S1: month's salary into the beasts, and a little Porsche Boxster
• 53:34
  S1: pulls up on the other side of the pump. On
• 53:36
  S1: using out steps. A young lady in gym gear and
• 53:40
  S1: I couldn't tell you her name, but the chances are
• 53:42
  S1: most blokes would be aware of her work and her
• 53:45
  S1: educational biology films that she makes. Now I've got a
• 53:51
  S1: girlfriend in the car and I'm side eyeing so hard
• 53:55
  S1: I was nearly having a stroke as all this was
• 53:57
  S1: going on. A gentleman has just finished filling up and
• 54:00
  S1: is walking across the forecourt heading towards the shop, and
• 54:02
  S1: he notices the yoga pant wearing mattress. Actress completely misses
• 54:07
  S1: the sliding door, walks straight into the glass panel windows,
• 54:11
  S1: falls into the newspaper stand and it was just like
• 54:15
  S1: the Yankees had won the World Series. I laughed. The
• 54:17
  S1: VPN Netflix girl looks horrified and in the chaos and
• 54:22
  S1: I go in, I pay. I get back to the car,
• 54:24
  S1: giggling and say to the missus, oh my gosh, that
• 54:26
  S1: was so funny. She looks at me deadpan, says, if
• 54:29
  S1: you drove a mini, that would have been you dickhead.
• 54:39
  S1: Well played.
• 54:40
  S2: This is Sprinting into glass doors is one of the
• 54:44
  S2: funniest things you'll ever see.
• 54:46
  S1: When you have it, it's like there's certain sounds. When
• 54:49
  S1: it's like a sweet spot hit like a the middle
• 54:52
  S1: of a baseball bat, the perfect drive with a driver,
• 54:55
  S1: middle of a cricket bat, or like a kid's head
• 54:59
  S1: going into some safety glass at full speed. That sound.
• 55:02
  S1: There's nothing else quite like that.
• 55:04
  S2: Yeah.
• 55:05
  S1: Actually, I say kids like a like a drunk adult
• 55:08
  S1: bloke is better.
• 55:09
  S2: Our our lawyers, where they're situated in this building, they've
• 55:13
  S2: got a glass, basically a big glass plate at the
• 55:15
  S2: end of a hallway and that looks like where you
• 55:18
  S2: would walk into it, but you actually walk to the
• 55:19
  S2: side of the glass plate and into the building, and
• 55:22
  S2: the receptionist basically just sees people smudge their faces against
• 55:25
  S2: it every single day. I was like, why don't you
• 55:27
  S2: put a stripe on it? She's like, I could work
• 55:29
  S2: anywhere in the world, but I stay here just for
• 55:31
  S2: this alone. I was like, if you set up a
• 55:36
  S2: camera above your head just as a security camera, you'd
• 55:38
  S2: make millions selling this on the internet.
• 55:41
  S1: So I've just found a four minute 26 compilation. Baby.
• 55:51
  S1: It's a bloke in a dojo. That's it. That's a
• 55:57
  S1: kid in the mall.
• 55:57
  S17: Donk, donk!
• 56:00
  S1: It's weirdly enjoyable, am I? Is anyone else feeling that
• 56:03
  S1: or am I weird?
• 56:04
  S2: I mean, it is. There is a certain amount of
• 56:07
  S2: pleasure that you take in other people's misery. And that's
• 56:09
  S2: the human race.
• 56:10
  S1: Yeah, yeah. We wanted to do a segment once about
• 56:14
  S1: overweight people like me, uh, rolling down hills accidentally, I
• 56:19
  S1: think weirdly enjoyable as well. It's due to the fact
• 56:23
  S1: that there's not a lot of strength in the ankle.
• 56:27
  S1: It can go. Trust me, I know you now.
• 56:30
  S2: They do the you know, they do the challenge where
• 56:32
  S2: they try and do the Whitney Houston drum beat, you know,
• 56:34
  S2: like it became one of those things.
• 56:36
  S1: Yes.
• 56:37
  S2: I reckon you could do the same thing. You pick
• 56:39
  S2: the point of terminal velocity of a big person just
• 56:41
  S2: before they bin it?
• 56:44
  S1: Yes, I'll give it a go.
• 56:46
  S13: Listen to our other podcast. Not for radio. Wherever you're
• 56:48
  S13: listening to this one, just search. Not for radio.
• 56:51
  S1: Hello there. If you've just joined us. We asked this
• 56:53
  S1: question before the break. It was a quick one. How
• 56:56
  S1: long does it take to fly to Antarctica from New Zealand?
• 56:59
  S2: Flights out of Christchurch to Antarctica typically take between 5
• 57:03
  S2: and 7 hours. It's much further than I thought it
• 57:05
  S2: would be.
• 57:06
  S1: So you could do a return in ten, because there
• 57:09
  S1: used to be the flight that would go down there, right?
• 57:11
  S2: Would they do the Southern Lights flights where they fly
• 57:14
  S2: out of there and they basically do a big, big loop.
• 57:16
  S2: So you can see the southern lights, the aurora borealis.
• 57:20
  S1: Jeez. I used to enjoy, uh, rugby bus trips across
• 57:23
  S1: the Canterbury Plains, and that's pretty bloody boring to look at.
• 57:26
  S1: I could do a booze cruise to Antarctica and back.
• 57:28
  S1: No dramas as long as the drinks kept flowing.
• 57:31
  S2: It's the. It's the boat trips where you fly into
• 57:34
  S2: Argentina and go out of there. Those ones look crazy.
• 57:37
  S1: Yeah. Your mate Logan done that?
• 57:39
  S2: He did. He said it was epic. He's like, it
• 57:41
  S2: is a bucket list must do thing. He's like that.
• 57:43
  S2: And a safari. Job done.
• 57:46
  S1: Mhm.
• 57:47
  S2: It's kind of the only places where you see it
• 57:49
  S2: where it used to be, where it's just unchecked.
• 57:53
  S1: I've seen the documentary The Lion King, the new one.
• 57:55
  S2: Oh yeah.
• 57:57
  S1: Pretty good.
• 57:58
  S2: Mate.
• 57:59
  S1: All the way over there.
• 58:00
  S2: Better to get acting lines that can actually speak English
• 58:03
  S2: as well as you can understand what they're talking about.
• 58:05
  S1: Wow. I think that's just peanut butter on the tongue, mate.
• 58:07
  S1: Stereogram in the rock.
• 58:09
  S13: Get that link in the show notes.
• 58:12
  S1: Guns N roses. That is the rock with Shane Dunk.
• 58:15

• 58:18
  S1: also going to be dedicated to a very special athlete
• 58:22
  S1: here in New Zealand. One of the all time greats.
• 58:24
  S25: I'd love to have a beer with Duncan. I'd love
• 58:27
  S25: to have a beer with Duncan. We drink in moderation
• 58:32
  S25: and we never, ever, ever, ever old and drunk. We
• 58:35
  S25: drink at the town and country where the atmosphere is great.
• 58:40
  S25: I love to have a beer with Duncan cause Duncan's
• 58:44
  S25: mean mate.
• 58:45
  S24: Yeah.
• 58:46

• 59:24
  S1: in New Zealand, so she surpassed Doug Howlett's record. She's
• 59:28
  S1: the first woman to score 250 tries in the Sevens Series.
• 59:33
  S1: First woman to score 200 tries in the World Rugby
• 59:37
  S1: Sevens Series as well. Uh. She won the Rugby Sevens

  S2: She is incredible.
• 1:00:05
  S1: Isn't that just crazy? Like what a special human.
• 1:00:09
  S2: Yeah, yeah. And, uh, obviously she feels like she's not
• 1:00:12
  S2: done in rugby completely. Um, and will be. Everyone's waiting
• 1:00:15
  S2: for the comeback because she's sort of nudged it and gone. Ah, look,
• 1:00:19
  S2: I'm done. But body is just unreal on it. Like,
• 1:00:21
  S2: it just has got years and years and years to play.
• 1:00:24
  S1: Well, she kind of had done that. And then she
• 1:00:26
  S1: came back last year didn't she. Yeah. For the World Cup.
• 1:00:28
  S2: Yeah. So I would be interested to see if she
• 1:00:32
  S2: can stay away from the game, because it just isn't
• 1:00:34
  S2: the game without it.
• 1:00:35
  S1: My only regret would not be putting more money on
• 1:00:38
  S1: her to score two or more tries than all of
• 1:00:40
  S1: her matches.
• 1:00:42
  S2: Yeah, that was, um. Yeah, that women's rugby is amazing.
• 1:00:45
  S2: And women's the NRL is really great. Odds on that one.
