He um, you know

Follows arms

Deliberately you're gonna deliberately try and stay away here enough. No, that's the thing bros

We're talking out soon, Miles. Yeah, what did I most of the last three months? Well, have a listen here

Welcome back roach while you were away. We talked who are horrors and Haley tried giving herself a brazilian

Um, I ended up sticking my hoo-ha together

I had to like get in the shower and like get some

So those don't try and like

process on had a birthday party and creature greed to be the spider-man edit after it had a big night. Yeah, you feeling spider-man? Oh, I'm top of the world

Really spewed in the car

We spotted creatures dead and turns out the apple doesn't fall far from the tree

It was the last minute purchase of my wife is at Christmas. So what'd you get her?

It uh, it was a wee vibe

I

Must've been moaning about his blown out knee got to keep my brace on got to keep my leg straight to be waking me up knocking my braces my other leg

Passing and turning I'm cranky. I'm tired. We met the newest dishes in the UFC from city kickboxing

Brando the Balkan beer purer sitch and he noticed something about moles now. What we just ain't drink

A little peat brother

Oh

Far out I went on an American conteckey and when I came back bros read my diary

I find Nashville up this town thought it was all on with the Aussie girl

I was wrong

When some lose most

Reach pull out at the work Christmas party

But not before getting pulled over for not having a woff before it even started to make it worse. I was wearing a banana costume

Ah, you should have been put in jail and better news we raised money for the kindness collected with bros cubes

We launched last week with a thousand friday morning

Yeah

And an auction for a piece one with Jonah Lommoy rugby

$100

In the last couple of weeks people have donated just over $8,000 from your listeners

The internet ran hot with romance rumours between Creech and Mal

I feel like Mal is a little bit sleet on Creech

Tenture work romance

Never in a million years

You've just been friends owned on the radio show dog

But you ain't even getting any way

Yeah, no, no, no, because I see you as a sister and not in a game of thrones way

We gave away tickets to see Metallica

Oh no, hey

And the formula one in Singapore

Bryce played and chasing the fox and hit a beauty chip shot in front of camera's broadcasting around the world

Honestly, when in my life it was so good so many people there and such a such a buzz

Yeah, if you want to check out Bryce hitting that chip shot you can text Luke to three five two zero

And finally we told what's in our fridges at home and I had chicken months

Like nacho chicken months like like baked beans

What shall I

Yeah, well, don't you put beans in your nacho?

So it's been business as usual really welcome back rog

It was good up until the bean

But there are

He's flexed the beans

Okay

Oh no great stuff great stuff

But what I mean we're back yeah, let's get to it next shall we

Let's just play some queens as a stone age. I've been away for three months great to be back great to be back

But a bit weird but strange yeah, I mean I've done it for 30 odd years

But having that time off it's always a little bit different isn't it when you come back

So because you essentially yeah, and it was great you deserved it

We were happy for you, you know that you got to have it after all those years etc etc

But then you really you really just you tuned you back on us. Yeah, I did

I mean the whole time yeah

I knew that you didn't want to hear from any of us especially me

Yeah, that's right. Yeah, and I'm I didn't really miss it

But yeah, it was weird because we caught up for Frank yesterday

Yeah, and I have seen you since but yeah, briefly

But I didn't really a participate, you know, I was just kind of nice having the whole break away totally

Not having to worry about the show or anything to do with the show. Yeah, yeah, I did miss I mean you miss

No, this is see that I didn't miss I won't lie did not miss getting up at 4.30

But I was you miss this is what you miss the miss the the times on air. Yeah, that's the you know the fun times on air is what you miss

But not the silence between songs that that you don't miss

We didn't have that when you were gone

Was it a you say mella was it was it was a happier show

There was a lot of us so happy

Yeah, it was so nice. We were like

So now it's back to misery

That's miserable

Miles and I also male brice I know I don't know if you'll have you had anything to do with this

But a lot they got a lot of features on later on in the morning. Oh, that's one thing. I did hear after seven

Sometimes after eight. Yeah, and after right that that malson and male were doing a lot more stuff

They spread their wings

I didn't I don't miss that

So I don't know how that we

What do you do? What do you mean up to bro? Well, what do you do in your time? Well, you look like you'll keep busy around your house

That's the thing so we were selling a house

So there's a lot to do around the house

So a couple of things that I can talk about right now because I water blasted we've got this massive retaining wall

Can I just say can I just say roger when I were left radio sport and came back to the rock?

Yeah, I got a similar amount of time. You have a gardening lady. You can't work. I went to South Africa. I went Argentine

I went on a great track. Roger you actually did gardening leave literally you literally did what you're supposed to do

In for three months. Yeah, so one thing

Had this massive retaining wall like 20 meters long about four meters high and there was had never been water blasted

No, like 20 years. It sounds like you're in a prison working

It's one of those

And how did it go for your orange? So that took me like best part of a week. So water blast

And what I've done I had to go to the chiropractor last weeks and I've got

What I've done is of water blasted too much and I'm sorry

You've water blasted too much the gripping the water blaster the trigger and it's um seized up my elbow slash forearm

I can barely

Stretch it out without being like and I had to go to the chiropractor now what took like a chiropractor is just for backs and spines

Yeah, I know

He grabbed my forearm and collected and back into place and I got yelped

And he's put a like a puppy and he's what he's done because I've been water blasting too much

He's I have to do these uh

forearm stretches. Should I miss you? I've missed you so much

I end up like like that palm against the wall and stretch it out for a minute or two every day

And that is you and I don't do minutes

What about vigorous up and down actions

What about when you what about we you know how you're the old tazzy tiger

Can't believe I can't believe in Dylan's point of the sound too

Can't believe you you're blaming water blasting on a masturbation

It's what you're doing there

Have you just have you just

Have you been semen blasting

Also

So there's that and there's another injury that that happened to me just over the weekend

Which I'm going to get to next as well

Yeah, it's great to be back. There's a few weeks really weird without you

Yeah, yeah, then obviously like any time you get a new missile or whatever. Yeah. Yeah, you move on

And it's so good you move on

Honey, you're in phase

And you think of the old one you just remember the good time

Yeah, but then you forget about the bad stuff

They weren't too many good times

And then now you're back come back on it's great to be back mate

But you've we just told us how you've uh who you sound masturbating

Yeah

Yeah

You're a physio for uh for a sore forearm

I had so much I can barely bend my right arm. It's actually so because I was intriguing that it's right

Water blasted water blasted for the best part of a week and of um

The chiropractor said

All the you know using the trigger of the water blast with my hand

Has seized the muscles up and the enough. This is what he said. No oxygen was getting to the muscle

For some great because I'm surprising

For a great length of time. This is why my muscle and the joint is I started to do these stretches

Couple of minutes a day to sprinting stretch it out. Uh, that's so that's the one injury. That's the worst one

I know for a fact you even got a cheap water blaster that doesn't have the trigger

That doesn't have the lock on the trigger that keeps it down. Yeah, the trigger that's broken. Yeah

That's that's why yeah, so that that there's that one

Another water-based injury too

So grace my lovely daughter had a 25th birthday in the weekend. Yeah, and munga fire

So we got a bit it's quite steep some of the section. So you got a massive bit of land

A bit of a flex our long and slide water in this video

He's like here's my slide and watch this

Just panning panning panning panning around big big big. Yeah, so she wanted to water slide and the the idea was it midnight

Everyone was gonna get on the water slide

Everyone was gonna slide down and yeah, and so yeah, that's what I did and I'd had a few and it was the

It was

Wild weather up north. So it was

Storms and wind and rain. So what I've done is I bent I bent back my little finger

You can see that here and so I bent it right back on the water slide and it's gone

It's gone all black as you can see and so I can barely bend that as well

That's so that's a new injury from this is the same hand that I nearly lost my fingers on the lawnmower

So this is that enjoyable morning with 31 minutes

And we're gonna do a injury-based topic and

That's incredible. That's quite good from us. It doesn't it. Yeah, it's called new year new injury. Oh

Three fantastic. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you can text 3520 would love to have you call us 800 rock phone is the number

Since your last or us all heard from us, what have you done to yourself? Let us know love to hear some of your calls as well

And a water slide injury from the weekend at my daughter's 21st bent my whole

Little finger back. Yeah, slip and slide. Yeah, second time you've done it. Last time you overside your energy yourself

I did I put my shoulder out. Yeah, it's water sliding. So this is the second one and

Yeah, you're technique is poor

It's very interesting

He didn't tell me

I don't know what's going on. Yeah

And look like you just put down like glad wrap

Not only probably like polythane whatever some sort of slippery surface

Did you use any lubricant did you wait what for what

You slide your slide

No, there was some lubricant on the other one. Yeah, yeah, you needed it more than just there

But you know, it's uh, it's uh, it's uh, it's something that we

Very close to on the station is how you the rumble less know all this injured ourselves. Of course

This might be a new record for a year set of that we're only half an hour into the year and we've gone to the injury

Top of your shin. Sorry, painful. Yeah, painful Stephen. You gotta look after that. You don't want a rupture patellar tendon

Did you call it? Did you call the Westpac rescue chopper?

What did you call one one one what happened Stephen?

I just toughed it out mate got back on with it, you know, it's not my rod

Yeah, well good question. What do you make of roger's injuries? Yeah, there's the water slide one and there's the tug and one

And how do you approach back after a few months mate?

Everyone has to keep the same size. Am I right roach this one is a new thing almost

Ah, it's a covenant some stuff. You're not allowed

Yeah, it's like a board sort of thing. Yeah. Oh no come on

I also say you going down the slide looks like one of the slowest spins

Going

Like you've been it's been it's been ejaculated and it's like you're like

One of those biology videos

He goes to spin this is how it finds the egg

Yeah

And it looks like one of those but also there are slowest ones

New single they released end of last year in Pazali

As you said their male they're performing this coming Saturday in lawn system in Tasmania

Someone exactly the same time as I was there

Yeah, what are the chances? What are the chances?

And Bryce he remembers it. Yeah

Anytime we talk Tasmania, I'll rod you call it in his car

Every tugger there you are

That's going to be huge

And Tasmania is very cool. How excited will they be? Who goes there?

Not just a big band. Yeah, no one

Never never not in Tasmania. No unbelievable stuff. You don't know. They have

I mean they probably have a button. Yeah, I can guarantee they haven't

You're so handsome. I guarantee that food finders have never performed in Tasmania. Yeah, you're probably right

But it does early reeking of a roach back

Yeah, no, I'll be right

And then if any of us come on the question over time just if you have missed over last three months roach will then go

Just thing you know how

Anyway, anyway use yeah, I'll tell you what

And I said I don't know tell them I miss anything. I said you're not hiding

I love it

Oh

Yes, Dan the hangman hooker you'll see

He's fighting first of feb you have seen three two five and Sydney Benoit

St Denise's his name. Who he is fighting. Dan good morning. Thanks for coming in morning

Yeah, I'm bored all on our first show back. So good. So this fight. It's not long not long to go a couple of weeks

There's no way in here come losing to a French Cobb on

There's some things that aren't gonna happen. That is not gonna happen

This is a thing that you're fighting a guy here's French French army special forces soldier. Well, he used to be

So and I understand as well. I've seen he's got to he can't take a gun in there Kenny

He's got two arms two legs in a face like a smacked ass

Oh

Yeah, you could leave now we would have had a great end

Well, I don't know how much you know about the scarves. He's used to be in the army, but um sweet

If

How close did you get to get into the army though? You wanted to get into the armed forces, didn't you?

Once upon a time. Oh, what do I say? Yeah

But I don't like getting told what to do. Yeah, that's a major

No, that's right. I googled and then I googled his New Zealand at war and it said now it's not at war with anyone

No, and I said well, I'm not going to join the army if I can't kill anyone

So in a fight

I don't waste the time to stand around with my dick in my hand

Um, thanks

Oh

Do you get to enjoy and relax just over that period? I mean, I we see a little bit of you on it's the

It's either it's either small clips of men fighting with the back-out scraps that we'll get to soon

Or it's real wholesome stuff with your family out of it. It's a restaurant having dinner

A man of extremists. Yeah, but you have essentially been in camp now for a couple of months really because this is such

A tight-tune around

From the Aman fight straight into straight into this with BSD like do you get much time to relax both that's between I don't really have

May I don't even get I don't even have a big light. Yeah, it was a bit of a was a bit of a pain in the ass

I went and caught up with two friends and they're both on ankle bracelets. I always like they can

You know, we didn't even go out

If you didn't be able to

It's because those are clubs you can't see

You don't see them at the gym. Yeah, well, they can't come to you

So I only saw a couple of friends and then we've got another fight

Yeah, how did that um interested in that for obviously you see fight fans as robs

Rob roach. Oh, you've been away that long

First um, how did that come about that it is such a quick turnaround because it's bloody exciting for Dan hooker fans

So we get to see you again so soon

Now I think like because I did the video straight after where I was like man, I'm smashing my car nose face and I was just you know, he was um

He just drew the short shore. I was just like just showing the UC that I wanted to get back in there

I knew that the injuries were just superficial when that

Uh, and so man, they just chucked me in for a quick turnaround

I knew I wanted that on that card

Just because it's sick close time. Yeah, and fighting out. Yeah, you saw vox on the card

Yeah, to tell you know you absolutely everyone on the card. So it's like that one that one gets you excited

And then to just get a good opponent too

Where he's he's a zero four five one street rank number eight

I was expecting I have to fight down a couple of times, but

That's a fight that that puts you straight back in the much

Just yeah, like how long does it take you to think about a fight that's been offered to you but you'd be matched with like is it

Brave you to assume I think it'll

That's what I was hoping for

It's like you just like

And then like the UFC medical team is all pissed off. They're like oh damn

You know, he's gonna because they took me for a scan after fighting. They're like he's a

You got a broken nose. I was like well, that's from there. I'm still refusing to medically clear it

Like that the UFC sent me there like you need medical clearance. We are nose. I was like

I'm not getting medical clearance from it injury. I got it weighings. I was like from the head part

I'm like out of principle. I was like you guys let me do one fight with it

Yeah, I know why not let me do another fight with it. I mean to be fair you wouldn't that I got a new doctor

Wasting 15 minutes of my time yeah to get medically cleared for a fight

Nah, it's it's I'm a man of principle

Then stay there then hangman hooker UFC

325 and Sydney first of feb

And we're back with Dan. Let's talk more about it's one minute scraps is another one coming up as well Dan the hangman hooker

He is back UFC fighter UFC 325 and Sydney first of feb

Finding a Frenchman Benoit

Saint Denise who nicknames nicknames and what you make of this down he calls himself the god of war great neck now

Which is a great nickname. What do you make of it?

This the hangman exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Welcome back, man. How do you how do you go about beating him? Obviously because I

You know tell me if I'm wrong. I'm sure I'm wrong

But stylistically, I feel like he's a more entertaining fight from the viewer point of view to watch maybe then someone like you last

Who loves to receive the meat actually likes to come forward. Yeah, it's gonna be a it's gonna be a good fight

Like he's obviously self-boy. He'll try to check me on the ground, but yeah, it's just gonna be just keep it on the feet and beat him up

You're talking about

Exactly right

You talk about your nose got broken in the last fight hell how many times do you think you've broken your nose? Yeah

We're in the 20 something

That's that's crazy to the weekend

So I mean, do you think you'll get sued after your fight because you know after you for oh you'll never finish fighting will you I get you say yeah

Well, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're not fun the time. Yeah

Now onto some other fighters

But we've got a little bit to get to

But we had the Balkan bear in at the end of last year for the first time all six foot five or whatever the reason

So he said I had small feet down. He's a unit. What a good dude

He seemed like a great guy when he was in here. Good fun

What do you see his chances being at heavyweight entertaining the day?

Just big enough that it takes one punch, you know what I mean like they can they can change their lives than one punch

He's heavyweight boys like four fight fights. You can find yourself for title. So yes guys are limo. He's athletic. He's talented

You can do whatever you once with the sport, but you know, it's like one punch and your life's ruined

Heavyweight

Heavyweight is a treacherous division

Any news with Carlos albergue as well. Obviously. Yeah

He's back in the jungle. He's straining hard all the boys are Israel's in their cries in their

Carlos is in there and I think they're they're all looking to fight in the first quarter of this year

Everyone will be back in action. It was a bit of physics. We were talking about it before the show

Yeah, was it last week? They announced that is he is fighting soon. Yeah, how's he looking towards his fight?

No, he's looking good. He's looking good. I'm one we're not gonna say anything bad about him

It's cool to have him back in there, you know

He's a fighter fighter like you know a lot of people

Oh, man, you know you got nothing left to prove, but it's like it's just in him

It's just it's just what he wants to do with his time

You know what I mean? It's like the most constructive thing that man could be doing

Yeah, it's time is getting out there and performing for everyone

So you know you can be grateful that you can still have like legends like that and you'd be able to watch him

Now you you caught up with comedian Matt rife you might have seen it on Instagram listen to

Matt rife does a lot of great crowd work

I was so distracting. I was like I was the spider yesterday and I was like

I was like, spider and I was like, I was like, I was smashing the pads and I was like I looked over and I was like

That looks like blonde Matt rife

I'm going to look really looks like

And I'm like, I'm staring at him as I'm like, halfway from my workout

What are you looking at? Yeah, I was

Then after I was like, you met my friend

Hey, man, he's very funny man. How did that come about? Yeah, he came to the gym

Oh, the big fella just is a real drag of him. They had a bit of a they had a bit of a sparring session

And then they start moving around and I was like, smash him rife

I was like, smash him rife, he's washed

You said he wasn't going to say anything bad about him

Yeah, that's what I said, you just said you're going to say,

Now so next question, right?

And obviously there's been a bit for UFC fans in the press over the last week or so

Some subject matters obviously we can't get into because it's breakfast radial and stuff

But for those who don't know, let's get into it

I can't, I can't, I can't

But I'm not sure

And I'm not peaching

Let's talk about it

How do you see Gachy versus Paddy ever going?

Can I feel like Paddy's going to get his jaw spun

Yeah, you call him, let's muck around and find out

Yeah, yeah, so do you think anything will ever happen between you and Paddy

Regardless of results of your fights

You know like even love to kick him in the face

That that would really warm my heart

No, like yeah, let's go down

What does he say? And if I show up, if I show up to Vegas this weekend, 16, 60 Scalsers

Yeah, he does say that

Don't just go around threatening me of places you know I'm not going to be

Why would I be in Vegas a week before my fight?

Yeah, if I don't, what am I going to go out and say to Paddy

Oh, if you see down the marital school shops next week

I know

And fretting people in a standard ground state is the dumbest

Yeah, what do you carry?

State is standard ground state

I ain't got to go nowhere my boy

Dude, I'm just interested. I know we're going to come back just otherwise but

Do the UFC ever get in the middle of any type of beef that happen because obviously

Words can get heated and things can get set is is there ever any point where

You know someone official will go

Do you guys fellas call it down on either sides or whatever or is there nothing as it's right?

I've never had it nice. It's some pretty audacious stuff

Dan the hangman hooker Dan the hangman hooker. He's in

He's fighting first to Feb in Sydney

UFC 325 it is. He's fighting

Saint Denise Benoit Saint Denise the god of war. He calls himself BSD

He's a monkey. You know kick his ass down. You've been saying as well dog walker

Hey, did you find a song of what you want to you put on Instagram while I go with ideas? I got some ideas

You can't avoid you can't give away your own work out song but you have found one because you're looking for happy week

out till before you have

That's a little that's a little because it was a kiwi bangar. Are you asking for is that still what your thoughts were

Is it for a kiwi bangar bangar? We got a bangar. We got a bangar. We can claim it. What I'm on that

Why don't you don't stick with one song because everyone always used to just

Well, yeah, because if you do and then you you get your ass kicked to a song and then you have like the memory of the last time you walked out to

You got you got dog walked

So you just have these horrible memories flooding

Would you ever use many men again because I always think of when I think of many men I think you ragdoll boys are a marketer. So it's like

You know what I mean. Yeah, don't use it

Yeah

One minute scrap Dan hooker all such a great idea. Yeah, man for those who don't know

It's in the name. Yeah, yeah

But how's it been going and what's coming next? No, we're good. We're not the dad's one out

Yeah, one of the dad's got $50,000 in time for Christmas, which is like the whole idea behind the whole thing

But next one. Yeah, we're taking it back to the backyard

Got our first show, which was King of the Streets. We've got the the name of King of the Streets on the line

And our the doc is putting up a hundred thousand dollars. So there will be a hundred thousand dollars richer

That's a lot of money and then we're just bringing out

This one's just the best of the best obviously the first King of the Streets was

Like no active freight fighters, and I had never had a little

Winsh about that, you know, all this food like okay anyone anyone can enter so this one's open anyone could enter

So hang on could Carlos all bring into this check your UFC contract before we start he's already

He already tried to he already tried to do a lot of moustache and

You can't be that handsome

Damn hang on, okay, it's just when much makes us come back

So he's taking you on before

How does this sound like what are you way much could you does he

Does he what are you already roughly weighing your look at big lunch? I could probably make it

Make it to the hundred kegs. Yeah, same as what

Cuz you need numbers

I even had some of my some of my mates all like oh there's a stag

We got a stag in Auckland that we think they go can we check the stag in

He shows up in like a chicken helpful

But you would be the opponent

We might be mixed and fight the chicken

We're gonna 200 kilo house jumped in and took the last spot 200 kegs

This bloke took the last spot

Five days after my fight

I'm when when you're gonna come in at the end of last year I put it out on Instagram anyone got any questions for

Hangman lots questions came through but one that stuck with me with the one minute scraps

Ever thought of doing tradies, you know, like yeah, I love tradies

Yeah, one of each trade. Yeah, and then some sort of battle off to find that who do you think it'd be the toughest trade?

I reckon probably a Jaintlay or be a hard man

Yeah

For these first Kiwis has there been much sort of making this international yeah, yeah, like there's obviously

After this one, I'm just gonna go meet with the doctor and probably it's like the craziest thing because you have obviously

Like they've had people reach out to him

Be like I'll bring it to Dubai and stuff out there, but I'm like you're kind of like loser. What are the

That's so very cool what I want to do is I want to do that like because I feel like they're most

untapped

Marker and the best fighters in the world especially the best heavyweight fighters are in the islands

I'd love to go around and just do island by island and then do like a ocean out

What's going to happen in Australia?

Imagine going to Samoa and doing just popping up on the beach and getting 32 cops from Samoa

Throwing lunchboxes at each other. I can see it happening

Down the Hangman hooker. You get right behind him. Absolutely. We're right behind him

How you all the best your next fight

It's like to be of course

Denise you fighting. Thanks so much mate. Go well. Waste him

That's a mug

Thanks for coming in man. Where's appreciate

Well

And so Bryce here we are Monday morning. Yeah, just up to help us seven and something you want to mention on the show ask a question

To us here on the show this morning. Yeah, well you're on our first show

And you listening as well

And we were sort of discussing it a little bit you say when we had to catch up

Yeah, it's that classic thing

Your first day back at work like my question is at what point when when

When is it fine to have time off once you come back? Oh

You might have had whatever leave it was in your work. Maybe it was two days. Maybe it was a week maybe it was three weeks

Whatever it was maybe the three months like Roger

Come back. Yeah, at what point are you now allowed to leave off because I know I asked this because I know you know they put it on

Instagram you'll see those stories of if you apply for the such and such

Yeah, yeah, this amount of weeks off

And you want to get in and get it done first. Yeah, like Jay and Duncan a great afternoon show that are back today as well

The legends it becomes a race between us and them sometimes as to who applies for those special days

Of course and who has to work who gets the time off of course

Yeah, you know, and so brice alpha show back today Monday. Yeah, when do you think it would be appropriate to be able to have yeah

Time off for whatever it is. Yeah, for me. I'll just have three months off

And so I had to think whoever the media works for that, but so I'm a bit different

There's no way I could even be thinking of asking for any time off

For I reckon like maybe April

Yeah

Well, you know, what if I do one more time off in July I might like last you need another extended week off so

A month off

Yeah, yeah, so I can't be asking you for a few months. Yeah, I can't even think about that

Yeah, I would go probably Easter yeah

Have a couple of days either side of Easter. You think it's right really extended out. Yeah, but you've got to have those days

Oh, and I we've had four weeks very privileged to have four weeks

So enough. I've got the time now wins appropriate. Yeah, maybe around April I think okay

You're going to able to preach who's now in our producers booth for good exactly this is my first full-time contract since 2022

So I've got absolutely no idea

Okay, don't idea how long until I can ask for leave maybe a couple weeks

Joan

Joan I do don't know

For those who don't know

Mitch was talking about the sixth month

Not June not the movie

What do you ask

And look fellows and ladies you don't know, but behind the scenes. I've actually already applied for leave

Of course you have

You take so many days

No give them the benefit of the dealt miles

Yeah, we'll give it a bit of the adult win win. I'm not gonna be here tomorrow

Tomorrow one you're taking the second day off of the

Yeah, you take so you take the piss you are like I'm going here. I'm going that I'm doing this

I'm taking these days. I might be here

You can't do this second day back

There's no way

That is why why tomorrow? It's been approved. I can't believe it

You're honestly I don't know what is in your country and cute to you, but you're taking the first

To good wow make you one day on one day

That's because we're gonna come back and play let's play a song for price

Working hard to make the living

I'm bringing shelter from rain taking tomorrow off. We're just coming back

I am poop

I'm in these bansies the working class man. He's Australia's New Zealand's working class man is bright

I'll first show back.

I'll go that's rich from you.

You worked eight months last year.

I'll have it from miles and I'll have it from miles.

And even crates can go up.

I turned up.

I'll even take it from Mitch can get me back to it.

But I will not have it from you after having three months off.

I'll look, I'm in a massive glass house for our own stones.

I really am tonight.

But it's our first show back.

And I just joined us.

You've just announced.

Because you asked the question, you know, we can you ask for leave.

You're having tomorrow off.

Yeah.

The new.

Can you tell us why?

Well, a little bit of it's not your business.

But I am, I am.

Yes, back for one day.

And then I will be off tomorrow.

No, I'm having a, it's not fun.

I'm not actually going to do anything that fun.

I've got to have a colonoscopy.

Yes.

You've had these before, bros.

I've had two before.

I've got to have them every five years.

Because my dad had like a stomach cancer sort of thing.

And he had to get half his bowel.

I mean, he was probably about my age, actually.

You couldn't have got this done last week.

That's a great deal.

So they had two options.

They had the, what's the date now?

Today is the 19th.

They had like the 13th of the 20th.

And I took the 20th.

So you, so you decided.

You could have taken, you could have taken.

I could have, but I was on leave.

Unbelievable.

I'm going to have to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

I'm going to do it.

Unbelievable.

That is taking the piss.

That's all about it.

And so for them, I need to get them, yeah.

Because I mean, we should get them.

Yes.

The things that are needed.

So I actually saw this terrible stat.

I knew bowel cancer was terrible in this country.

How many people we lose.

But there was a news article.

I don't know if anyone saw it over the break.

And this lovely young father had sadly passed away.

Which is just terrible for his family and friends and everything.

But in the title, it had a story about,

we lose 1200 New Zealanders to bowel cancer every year.

Oh, that's right.

It's terrible.

And obviously, so colonoscopy, those who don't know,

it's camera goes up your bum, but he has a look

and makes sure that everything's all right, et cetera.

And they can get on to things early.

And so the earlier you get those screening processes done,

the better chance you've got.

If anything, there is to have it activated.

And that's why, you know, we've had missing vining

and all of that on all of that time.

Yeah.

Because they want that screening and all that process to be there.

But 1200, that's terrible.

You know, you're talking nearly three a day,

nearly two and a half Kiwis a day.

And of course, you know, you can be younger,

and not even know you've got it.

Correct.

And you're getting it checked out, right?

I don't really want to do it.

Like, I've got to stop eating from midday today,

and you have to have this big process of drinking

all this horrible stuff and then just all night.

The worst thing is, I've got my mum and law here.

And so there's no, I can't go use other bathroom.

So I don't know privacy.

You want privacy in a process like that?

Because my wife's had a colonoscopy.

And you've got to have all this drink, don't you?

Your wife's with colon.

What?

Is that...

Oh, right.

You wife's had a colon.

Oh, yeah.

No, good, mate.

That's a better one.

Yeah, well, you beat the last one going off.

And you've got to drink all this drink,

and it just really cleans you out.

So...

That would be fun.

Yeah.

So I'm not looking forward to it.

But it's such a small price to pay.

Given obviously the benefit of having a piece of money.

So sorry, team.

I could have done it last week.

But I chose tomorrow.

But that's just bullshit.

No, well, at least...

That's just bullshit.

Why?

Well, he could have it last week.

And that's just taking the piss.

Anyway.

You're all here.

Anyway.

I'm my head Friday.

Oh, this is just stupid.

I'm my head Friday.

What are you doing?

I'm not...

I'm my head Friday.

Yeah.

And you've got a class, man.

No, it's Sunday business.

I'm just on your Friday.

Are you eating something to us?

Have you applied for it?

No.

No, I told Brad last year he wouldn't remember.

Anywho?

What's coming up next?

Bear news.

Our first bear news for 2026.

What's wrong?

Short week.

OK, Rex's...

Malzick's motto for 2026.

It was 2025s as well.

2023s.

They all have thrown it over.

Fuck it.

Beat it.

You beauty.

She's there.

Great day.

The Morning Rumble podcast.

Bryce, into it this morning.

Have you ever joined us?

Oh, boy.

Bear stories.

Bear attack stories.

You've always been bringing us bear news.

Bryson.

Oh, boy.

What a story.

What an interview this was to kick off your bear news segment for 2026.

I believe his name is Rudy Norland.

Yeah, that's him.

That's him.

Now, I tell you what, when you see a...

We've always got the sayings of it's black fight back.

If it's white, she'll be right.

Well, none of these are true.

I think it seems so.

Never fight back against a black bear.

If it's brown, stay down.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Where?

Is that right?

You told me...

I don't know already.

Or in New Year's.

If it's brown, go down.

OK.

Rudy Norland is his name.

Yeah.

And...

Mate.

Well, he's been on a podcast recently.

Large, cozy bear.

Thank you to all the rumble listeners who sent this to me too,

who are aware of bear news.

I've seen this a lot on Wednesday.

It's bitten his face off.

Have a listen.

Have a listen.

Have a listen.

I didn't hear him growl.

I didn't hear him roar.

I didn't hear him step on branches and break them.

I just saw him coming at me.

I listed my gun up because I already had it in my hand.

I fired it and it misfired.

I spun it right back to that dead shell.

Oh, gosh.

The next thing I remember is his nose was about the same size as my fist.

And that's one of my bear strategies to punch me in the nose

if I had to, if I got to that.

And I got a hole here and a hole there.

And I'm assuming that he got me what I tried to punch him.

But the next thing I remember after the click and I was...

He had me by the jaw.

And he picked me up by my jaw.

Off the ground.

And I could see the father running towards me.

And in my first addition there, it says, you know, I yelled help me.

But the more I think about it, it's like I don't think I could have said anything

but I didn't have any hold of my jaw.

But I know I thought helped me in my mind.

At that point, the bear bit down.

And I could just hear and feel it breaking my jaw bone.

Oh, my gosh.

At that moment, I'm assuming I don't remember the rest of the attack.

The next thing I remember is he was running the way I could just see his butt running away from me.

Wow.

But he actually clogged my chest.

Claps my lung.

Oh, my gosh.

And then he bit my leg and you can tell.

He bunched up my muscle right there when he bit.

And that's the hole was bleeding the worse.

I knew I was bleeding more out of that puncher in my leg than I was out of my jaw.

Hick.

Oh, hell.

Hell in my view.

So, and Bryce, what can he do with his jaw?

He can take his chin off, bro.

He literally just pulls his chin away.

You know, you could hear him obviously not being on a talk.

It's like this chin.

It's just being like a prosthetic chin.

So he can just pull it off like people pull out their teeth.

Pull his chin off.

That bit his face a bit of his face off.

A bit like a few people at RMB.

Great.

What a bear use.

Man, that's hectic.

What a bear new story.

First one for 2026.

Great stuff, Bryce.

There you go.

Wrong with me like Katy Perry, right?

Ah.

The Morning Rumble podcast.

First show back to 2026, 2,000.

A couple of hours to go.

And Bryce, last hour.

You teed up Dan, the Hangman Hooker.

You have seen fun.

What a great guest he was.

He was awesome.

He will be on the potty later on today.

You can always text potty to 3520.

And morning everybody.

Welcome to New Zealand.

Hi.

Actually, a couple of things if you have just joined us.

We would like some content to waste time at work with baby.

Absolutely.

Two things you can text.

One is chin to 3520.

We just had that bear use of that guy who had his chin bitten off.

Ripped off by a bear.

Hell of a story.

Yeah.

Hell of a story, Bryce, the 2026, but yes.

If that is something that an interest you.

Text the word chin.

3520.

Conversely, if you want to see Raj with what appears to be a lot of baby oil.

Lathered over his body and hitting a massive slip and slide.

Yeah.

And it's gone wrong from his engine himself.

Text the word slide.

Yeah.

To 3520.

I've seen it.

I've actually seen it.

It looks like a corpse.

It does.

It's all in out of a coffin.

Did you think you were going and looked faster than what you are when you then look at the footage?

Yeah.

When I was going down the water slide, I thought I am nailing this.

I'm going so fast.

And then I watched it and everyone is zipping.

Yeah.

Pass me so quickly.

Yeah.

It's so slow.

So slow.

It's embarrassing.

Yeah.

It's like what I reckon our sex tape would be like.

Don't you think?

If you ever thought about that, you know how like you might see some of that stuff.

Yeah.

Of course.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The video would be way longer than my sex tape video.

Mm hmm.

Oh, sorry.

I'm sorry.

Ross, you're wearing shorts.

It's nice and great of you.

I like familial.

This is bite ease or st husband.

It's too drunk.

It's great on a stick.

That's the motto in 2020 and 6 for us.

More on a stick.

And next, brisety.

This one up as well.

For a Shelten Willwright drummer from Blind Spot, I am Giant.

owemmsisnags talking to him.

A NUCA Fel full metal orchestra.

taking place in New Plymouth,

Bollabrocklands, March 7th.

Featuring Blind Spot, Iam Giant,

and more, let's get to that next.

Another band, big band, that a huge air, Blind Spot.

Of course, they played with an orchestra

at the rock 2000, last day of the rock 2000 countdown.

Oh, it's so good.

God, it was good.

How good does it sound?

They were awesome.

And obviously now did it in the rock 2000 as well.

Another podium finish for them two years in a row.

Absolutely, they did.

What a year they had.

And it's starting off strong for them in 2026 as well.

We have from Blind Spot, and Iam Giant, the drummer.

Sheldon, all right.

Good morning.

Hello, buddy.

How are you?

Good morning.

Good, thank you.

I could have you back, but talk.

My good, well, it's good to be back, Sheldon.

And you're our second guest of the day as well.

So good to have you on on our first show back as well.

Thank you.

Because we've got lots to talk about.

Thank you.

Nothing, nothing, nothing sums up our show better

than the two guests we've had as Dan Hooker and Shelton

will write.

Exactly.

Exactly right.

Oh, OK.

Now, the minute when are you entering the one-minute scratch?

Who, me?

Oh, yeah.

Now, right.

Well, I'm more Mr. Puniverse.

Yeah.

He's also really.

So when they do it, when they do a Mr. Puniverse,

the one-minute scratch, you're going back.

Mr. Bean, look alike.

Oh, man.

So I really injured Shelton.

Did you tell Shelton your injury?

No, I'm not going to bother with that.

No, no, we should.

I'm going to tell him how you've injured him.

I'm not hangar.

I saw you as something.

I saw something came on my Instagram this morning

where you look like a worm going down there.

It will come out.

It's coming all of it.

God, that's a good explanation.

Amazing to describe.

If you want to see that, text the word slide from 3520

if you want to watch Roger's worm.

Shelton, I was doing a worm impersonation

and bent my little finger back, and it's

very black and bruised on a water slide.

Pretty lame.

But anyway.

We'll see you tugging into it.

Yeah, they're great, Dan, you're well.

Yeah.

Still in the end.

Oh, great to catch up, Shelton.

All of us there.

Hey, this is going to be huge.

Manuka, you're full metal orchestra.

Of course, you played with an orchestra before,

but tell us what's happening in Taranakin,

you plummeted Bola Broclins in March.

This is going to be massive.

What a line up.

Yeah, man.

Big day on the tools for that.

So blind spots supporting the FMO for me, the orchestra.

And also, I'm giant, along with our good friends, Evil Skin.

So it's going to be a big day for me

on the drums, basically, to an Iron Giant Ampliant spot,

and then helping out with Phil as well on the main show.

So we're looking forward to that.

Yeah, well, so for those who don't know,

Phil Rudd, obviously, ACDC is part of the

drum metal orchestra, the drummer.

So, and you're sort of as right-hand man as well,

helping with that, so that's cool.

But how will it be playing a show

Iron Giant Ampliant spot together?

That's never happened before.

Back in the day, 10 years ago, if you had a set

that was going to happen, no one would have believed it.

Not only is it a double shift for you,

but also pretty cool to have both your bands

playing on the same build, bro.

God, I reckon.

Yeah, I'm actually stoked on that, man.

We're lucky enough, because there's going to be a break

between Iron Giant Ampliant spot with Evil Skin.

So I'll get a little bit of a breather,

but definitely hitting the gym and going

for a run most days now, so I'm getting ready for it.

So it's going to be pretty big.

Yeah, how do you train for that?

Yeah.

Ah, man, just practice.

Just drumming, just a lot of drumming

and just getting the cardio out, really, you know?

Hopefully the body can hold it.

Yeah, been off the bed for a little bit.

I had a bit of a blowout over new years, like everyone,

but trying to just pull it back a little bit, eh?

Oh, yeah, same, bro.

Same.

More importantly, do you get paid twice?

Just like, do you get the Iron Giant Fee

and the Blind Spot Fee?

I hate, mate, you know?

I'm working hard, so you'd like to think so.

And do you get like a full Rad Fee?

Yeah.

Get a triple fee?

Yeah, working hard, mate.

Working hard, you know?

So this orchestra, you play with the orchestra

of Rock 2000 Countdown, which was just amazing a bit.

It's really taken off now, isn't it?

The full metal orchestra, because they're playing

Phil Rudd, ACDC, John Tugurd, Jenny Fram, Devil Skyn, as well.

One of the line-up now, it's going to be huge.

Yes, yes.

In fact, this will be the third one I've been involved in,

and they're just getting better and better.

The song's a lecture, and they'll be thinking that

all the band, they're just insane.

And obviously, seeing full-play drums

is just something else, you know?

Also, it's such an icon and, yeah.

Also, that venue, bro.

That venue for people who've never been to it.

Yeah, I'll never be to it, actually.

Oh, I can't wait, man.

Yeah, it's meant to be, okay.

Oh, absolutely.

Outdoor venue, Bollabrocklands, March 7.

You would have grown up, obviously,

listening to ACDC, Phil Rudd.

Now you're hanging out with him, you help him out.

That must be so surreal for you.

Yeah, it is, man.

Just the small things, like backstage,

kind of like getting them ready before he goes on stage

and things like that, just watching how pro does it,

and someone who's achieved that much in the music industry,

you know, it's just really cool to kind of help him out with that.

So it's pretty cool, and as everyone knows,

he's a bit of a character.

So you laugh, they go on around him, so it's pretty cool, man.

How long has it before you'll be able to pull your teeth out,

like he can?

Yeah, we'll see.

We'll probably get a swap piece or something,

and we'll open it up.

Thank you so good to chat.

You're 2026.

Thank you, catch up.

The full metal orchestra taking place,

Bollabrocklands 7th of March with yourself.

I am giant devil skin and an orchestra there as well.

What a day it's going to be.

We've actually got a double pass to give away.

If you want to go, I'll add a rock phone on March 7th

and give us a call for that right now.

Good luck, T-Brow, good luck with the training,

and also two blind spot on their own tour, just on a side note.

If you can't make it to the Naki show,

blind spot on their own tour.

And I am giant playing a lot of those shows, you know,

playing, like where the tennis has just been wrestling.

They're going to be playing at that venue in Centre Court.

Oh, yeah.

All around the country.

I think it got the arena, yes.

So if you want to see the shows and other places,

check them out on their social.

God, you're getting paid a lot lately.

Bro, good show for you.

All right, guys, have a good day.

Thanks, everybody.

How are you, bro?

Good, well, I'm done.

I'm done with women, guys.

I'm done.

I was going to focus on my career.

Morning Rumble podcast.

First show back, and I've already injured myself.

I did this on Saturday in a water slide injury.

My daughter's 21st, Grace had a massive water slide,

which everyone did, and then I bent my little finger back,

which is black and blue at the moment.

There's a video of me on the water slide

for those who don't know.

Brice Lingmar, the daughter Olivia sent that to you.

Yeah, she did it about 1.30 in the morning.

She was onto it.

Thanks, love.

Straight onto that.

So text the word slide, 3520.

A lot of nasty comments coming through.

I'm not needed.

First day back.

Keep it up.

Can I just say, please keep it posted at 10 in 2026?

So I don't.

So it's called them like a worm.

Seek who come up.

Seahorse.

PGA glue.

Someone says something.

No, yeah, you go on.

No, it's horrific at the time.

It seemed amazing, but watching it is, it's pretty sad.

It's like the slowed it down.

It is like the slide.

No, no, no, it's unbelievable.

So the black cap smells one day, one day,

international series in India.

Yeah.

We're trying to get hold of Jaden Linux.

We didn't say he was on next, but we haven't got him yet.

But he's a spin-bola, and he debuted on the series.

Yes.

And he had some great figures overnight.

He's basically 31.

He's been torn in a way for central districts

and in Hawks Bay, played domestic cricket for years.

And he's burst onto the scene, really.

He had a river.

He had a river.

Took a couple of wickets, I believe overnight,

just sitting up in the scorecard.

And it's basically one of those ones

where you never, it's never over until it's over.

You've always got to believe that your opportunity will come.

And it has for him, it's 31 for the black cap.

I love it.

I'm also winning over there.

That's huge.

And we posted like 300 or 300 plus in all three games.

Yeah.

It was super consistent.

Great effort, black cap.

No, it was a little stuff.

So we're trying to get hold of him before 9 if not,

maybe tomorrow.

But I had been away for the last three months,

and I didn't talk about my injuries and stuff.

But what I did go, and you guys know this,

but I did go to New York, this is a true story,

because my daughter flies for Quantus,

and she got us flight standby flights.

So we went to New York on New Year's Eve.

So we were in New York on New Year's Eve.

And we there.

It was a time square.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah, tried to.

Well, there's a million.

No, there's a million people in time square on New Year's Eve.

You can't even get to it.

And you love to beat the crowd.

So let me guess, did you beat the crowd?

I just not go.

Correct.

Did you watch it on TV?

Yeah.

I at the end, I don't.

Yeah.

No, it was snowing outside.

Yeah.

It was true.

Do you know that when you go to...

No, it's winter in the North.

Well, I've found out.

So you go into time square.

Yeah.

This is what they do for New Year's.

It's a tradition.

It's a tradition to fight with people in time square, apparently.

Yeah.

You can't, when you get in, there's no toilets.

You can't go anywhere.

People apparently wear nappies.

They wear nappies because they don't want to lose their spot.

And some of them get there the night before.

What?

It's minus five, might I add.

And they just stand there to watch the.

To watch the-

That's ridiculous.

This stupid ball drop.

Which is that a.

It's ridiculous.

What did you do for New Year's, then?

If you're a new.

My balls dropped.

Am I?

No.

No, so I'm that so yeah, it's no that night and a couple of nights later went to a broadway

Would you do on New Year's Eve though?

No, no, no, I was at a pub at a pub at a bar, you found an Irish bar, didn't you?

Connolly's got a photo of it and a Guinness

No, I didn't have a Guinness, but I did get an Irish bar in New York on New Year's Eve

I didn't have a Guinness!

I didn't have a Guinness bar on New York but I like it, it's fun, and I'm sort of crazy

What did he say that?

What if I don't have a Guinness bar in New York.

So he went to a Broadway show, went to Michael Jackson, Broadway show, like on the second

of Jan.

No, I don't think so.

So I've had to break it to a dinner tonight.

I asked my mum, my mother, what did you do?

So Lisa and I are going to get inside to the theatre.

And a head of us, the lady in the head of us,

I looked down and there's a pram.

And I'm taking a baby to a Broadway show.

And I immediately think, this is weird,

she's taking a baby, bringing a baby

into this Broadway show.

And then I looked a bit closer.

And in the pram was a poodle.

A poodle, a dog.

Oh, how cute is that?

It was terrible, it was terrible.

And I was like, wait.

This lady is taking a poodle to a Broadway show.

Let me guess.

That better ticker than you.

Bit of viewing?

Yeah.

Was it well behaved?

He couldn't see for a second.

I couldn't see out the back.

And I was the lady at the door

was initially thought, I don't know if we can let this happen.

So she went and got a manager.

And the manager came along and said, yeah, you'll have to bring it.

Support, support.

So this lady wheeled in a pram with a poodle

into a Michael Jackson Broadway show.

Who would have thought strange people would be

at a Michael Jackson show?

And then I said, we said to the lady,

they were taking our tickets, going,

go, I've seen it all now.

And then she said, no, you haven't seen it all.

She said, we're the meeting ones.

And we said, if someone turned up with a pony

to a Broadway show, they'd have to let them in.

At the pink pony club?

She was basically owning it.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Yeah, no, it was good. I got it.

It was good.

So can you believe it?

He's back and he's on board.

Can you believe it?

Well, I thought you might just be a glass around.

He gave them to me.

Give me them.

Pretty classic from your generation, just hoarding well.

The Marvel Podcast.

We've got them from the Black Caps.

They beat India in the International

1-D International series, 50 overs.

2-1, overnight.

I can see the batter is shot off his ground

and then we get this broken.

It's satisfying.

My decision for the big screen is...

So brilliance in the field from Glen Phillips finishes off the series.

And a famous win for New Zealand,

losing the first game, coming back to win this 1-D series

and they win it after 37 years,

coming to this part of the world.

The Black Caps won the 1-D International series,

2-1 against India for the first time ever.

And a man who had a lot to do with it.

Jaden Lennox joins us on the phone.

Good morning, mate.

Good morning. How are you doing?

So congratulations.

Congratulations.

Cheers.

Yeah, cheers.

Yeah, certainly, certainly,

especially part of New Zealand cricket history.

Yeah, unreal.

I suppose there's a...

Yeah, a few celebrations going on at the moment.

So, yeah, certainly,

especially to be on my first tour

and be part of...

Yeah, part of New Zealand cricket history.

Well, we won't take too much of your time.

Just tell us about how you got there.

Like, you're 31 years old.

You've been playing your trade in domestic cricket.

We all had a look at the scorecard this morning.

We're like, Jaden Lennox, bloody hell.

Where did he come from?

Yeah, how cool.

And then now, you're a Black Cap,

and you've been a part of a first-ever series win

on ODA cricket in India.

What a remarkable performance.

How do you feel to be at that point of your career now at this age?

I think it's one of those things

that artists in bowling can sometimes take longer than...

Some of the other skill sets, I think,

just to be battling away and domestic cricket.

Well, not battling away, but...

I suppose playing my trade away and domestic cricket

and trying to contribute for the central stags

over the last, I suppose, half a dozen years,

and then to finally get a crack in

and have some success and create a bit of my supposed history

in New Zealand cricket and make New Zealand proud

is kind of...

You, man.

I suppose that's the backbone of why we play the game.

So to come over here and play against the big fish

in their own environment

and come away with the treats is seriously rewarding.

Jaden, with us from the Black Cap,

spoke in greats.

Obviously, first series win in India at Sprice here.

Great scores posted right throughout the series.

300 or over 300, almost in every innings

that you guys made today.

Glenn Phillips and Daz,

I'm sure.

Sentries incredible.

Talk us through celebrations right now

that we've pulled you out of.

Who's nude?

Who's in the bath?

Who's doing showies?

What's the go?

Now, they're relatively subdued,

if I'm honest, Bryce.

We have just packed away the banjo

that's made a brief appearance.

I'm not saying that.

I'm not saying that.

No more questions about that.

Yeah, there's a few boys

hitting onto the T20 series.

So, yeah, pretty simple.

Yeah.

Hey, what is it like for the Black Cap's in India?

Am I correct in saying that?

They treat cricketers like absolute gods.

Is it the same for you guys?

Yeah, there's certainly no escaping it.

You kind of leave the hotel to go to the ground

at any time of the day.

And there might be anywhere from,

I suppose, two to two,

50, 300 people there just at the gate in photos

and that kind of thing.

So, yeah, there's certainly no escaping it.

And it's certainly a culture shock.

There's a whole lot of noise everywhere you go.

It's pretty, it's pretty hard to escape it.

How do you know?

How do you have time to listen?

What do you do?

No, you don't really.

Yeah.

Well, I suppose for this,

for this one day series,

it's kind of been travel train play

for about two days.

So, there hasn't really been much down.

So, I'm, which has actually been quite good.

So, to be fully immersed in the,

in the rich culture of cricket in India has been pretty special.

It smells here again, Jayden.

Could you, if you didn't wear any Black Cap's cap,

wore civilian clothes?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Could you leave the hotel and go,

go down to the 7-11?

Do you reckon you can go away with it?

Well, I did go for a bit of a walk the other day.

They had a, a kite flying festival in Rajkot.

So, we went for a little bit of a stroll

and to be honest,

with a couple of security guys,

it was eight days fine.

Yeah.

And muffled.

But, yeah, it's,

if you're a big name,

if you're a, a Desla or a Michael Bracewell or a KJ.

Yeah.

It's pretty relentless.

Hey, um, in the,

obviously, what a team to beat.

There's a reason we haven't done it before,

because they're so tough at home.

You beat the Indians in a one-day series.

I bet the fans are having none of it.

No, I bet.

Nah, they were,

when Cole got to 100,

it was the loudest noise of it ever heard.

And when he got out,

it was the most deafening silence as well.

Wow.

Yeah, they,

they're certainly passionate about Professor.

And, yeah,

I think to do,

to do it in their own backyard,

it's bloody special.

What's the biggest,

uh, pitch arena you've bowled in before this tour?

Uh,

all the sex we,

we won the,

the Super Smash last year,

and we went to the GSL in Guyana.

Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

And we played against the Amazon Warriors.

And I think that was 12,

12 to 13,000.

And that was pretty loud.

Yeah.

Um, but then,

yeah, to play in Ragecott,

the other nine in front of 28,000,

uh,

and the fact that screaming Indian,

the mechanics was, um,

yeah, pretty special,

pretty special in today.

Yeah.

Today,

the ground was probably the size of,

maybe Eden Park with 20,000,

um,

and kind of a,

a bit of a Coliseum style,

um, stadium,

like it's three,

three tears stacked on top of each other.

And when you're on the boundary,

I think honestly,

less than five metres from you.

So it's pretty,

it's pretty confronting.

Oh,

you've done so well.

Jada Linux.

Thanks for your time, man.

Appreciate it.

Part of the Blackhabs Speed India

and the One Day International Series

for the first time,

ever over there in India.

Thanks so much for your time, mate.

Enjoy the beers.

Cheers, guys.

Thank you.

Yes, news and sport next,

going to be a bit late,

but it was worth getting Jada Linux.

Yeah, I'm not so good.

Spin volet for the Blackhabs.

I'll be serious.
