We've put some people in the cataroe now time to celebrate a few things. A few texts, first of all. Our second best New Zealand half-back for our Fucka Tava into the penthouse. This is Marshy from Hawkes Bay. You can play very well on the NPC. Marshy you'd be up and about, terms of what he's been doing for the magpies. I think Scotty McLaughlin deserves a week in the penthouse for winning another race in the last Indy car race at the season. This is Dave and then I'll get to Josh as very very shortly because it will tie into mine around the penthouse fun balls. Alrighty. Also, Gary Freeman, if you want to listen to an Accident Chat with him, go listen to our feature. With the old- with the great man. Spotify, Sport Nation.nz, Sport Nation app or wherever you get your podcasts. Correct. Now let's have a look to see who was in Foxy's penthouse, the Fox Hotel. Steve Analca for going back to back.

1:07Did they even have a tournament on the weekend? The season's done basically, I guess so because they've sort of come out. But he will come out here to extended period in the penthouse for going back to back on the Champions Tour. Sam Ackerman, he was in there for a late call up on the Warriors call for Sport Nation last weekend. He can come out. The Claries for making face on Jets Debu, they looked very good. But they've been in there. I put the ear link pilots in there last week. They fly by Got Band or cancelled for the third test, which I think is a catastrophe. And Guy, you had Ray from Guy's apartment. There's a great man, Ray. I'm sorry, man. A lot of money for the change of our light bulbs. Absolutely. And they're in the new dos. So how about that? Raev, who's coming in for you? Look, I feel like the Warriors fans have been in the penthouse before. But I wanted to make a special mention this week because the signs are always off the hook. But there was a big sign behind one of the goal posts. I think it was in the Southstand and it read Missy Tettle.

2:08So any time one person was going for a conversion kick, they put up their sign, Missy Tettle, to put the manly seagulls off. And Missy Tettle is like a tease to put you off. So if you're playing like Stingball, Winnie or Younger or Tiggy or whatever and you missed, someone would go, Missy Tettle, Missy Tettle, if you didn't get them. And it just took me back to my childhood. So I'd like to put in the Wars fan who preached the Missy Tettle sign at the Warriors game. Maybe I'm about to show your age. Well, age or my lack of... I don't know. Maldiveslang? No, I wasn't going to say that. But what were the games that you mentioned? Stingball. Stingball? Yeah, what was that? You remember it was like Tiggy but with a tennis ball? What's Tiggy? Tiggy, you were Tiggy. Like Tag. Tag. All right, yeah. Tiggy is Tag. Okay. And Stingball is kind of the same but you hit someone's ankles with a tennis ball. Oh, that's kind of fun, yeah. Yeah, it was ankles with a tennis ball. We used to do no body shots but...

3:09Okay. Oh, I like that. Yeah. Now that's a good entrance to the P-N-S. Yeah, I like it. If you learn something new every day. Do you do? Mine who's entering for you? Mine's not that good but I definitely need to give a special mention to Tain to O-Pickie. You do. A hat trick on the weekend. Defence needs to up its game a bit so I'm not going to give them the highest of highest penthouse admissions. But Tain to O-Pickie and the one New Zealand Warriors, they have made it into the finals series. They need to be celebrated. And just with Tain as well, goal-kicking. So good. Best goal-kicker at the club. And he gets so much sick too because a lot of the time he's just like a replacement kind of guy who doesn't necessarily is a starting player. But anytime he comes into the side, I feel like he stands his own two feet and holds his ground and that's all you need to do when you're like probably a 14th man if that makes sense. Do you want me to go first, little master?

4:09I don't mind. Oh, you can go then. I was just only going to a load two Josh's text who says well written to the penthouse even after guy had this horse in doubt. Alabama lass also ran a great race. She certainly did. I didn't necessarily doubt well written. What I doubted or not doubted but what the one question that I had was whether she could do what she had been doing as a three-year-old, an open company against some very, very, very proven horses and she did. And that is why Josh, I am following you and well written, goes into the penthouse. It was a phenomenal performance at LSD on Saturday. And if you were lucky enough to be there and to see it, you would have had a smile on your face. New Zealand racing needs a pin-up horse like her. She's unbeaten now from seven starts. It was just remarkable. And I just hope she can go to Australia and do what she's been doing here in New Zealand and beat some of the best over there. Because I think it would be amazing for our industry if she continued to win. She won horse of the year last night at the NZTR 2025 26 horse of the year awards.

5:12It was absolutely brilliant. So yep, she can go into the penthouse. Outstanding. My penthouse nomination is Brandon James. Now who is Brandon James? That is my older brother. He got engaged on the weekend and I just wanted to give a big shout out to the big man who, although you think I'm a big man, he is far larger than me. So I'm getting down on one knee when it looked quite funny. And I just wanted to give a big shout out to my big bro for getting engaged. That's cute. Yeah. Yeah. I'll put him in there. And then also the rabbit-o's as well. I thought that a very good tribute for a pro gybe. But yeah, Brandon James under the category. Did they make a big occasional? No, they were just him and his lovely girlfriend. Well, now Fjonce, we're down in Christchurch where they met. And then I think they just, they were at some bridge in Hagley Park and that they had a sentimental little connection to and popped the question with a big ass diamond ring. So good on him. So yeah. So yeah, something I never thought I'd see. Love the bloke though. But yeah, I'm really, really happy for him.

6:14I'm pleased you haven't been taking the heat because the next one once one person gets engaged right is like, we're near uni. Yeah, I'm surprised my girlfriend hasn't actually said anything yet. There's still time for it. It'll come tonight. No, just thought I'd celebrate her. Good on you. So yeah. And well done to your brother as well. Yeah. Fair on him. Parents happy. Very, very happy. Grandparents happy as well. Yeah. Oh, we can go to a wedding, which is, which has been to a while. Weddings are fun. I see I've never actually been to a wedding as an adult. So thoroughly looking forward to that. I'm getting to that age where like, I'm probably going to be going to a couple in the next like few years. There aren't many days that are better than weddings. I would rather find a house than have a wedding. I would really like I would. My endless and this day name. Not possible. It's so damn expensive. But I would rather bugger off somewhere in a lope and tell nobody and then come home and just have a party. And only spend like a quarter of the fraction of the money.

7:14No, she makes a good point. Just win the lotto. Yeah. I'm actually I got asked the MC one of my mates weddings. That's exciting. You might need to get some of the worst job. Oh, thanks for that. Because then you can't go and get stuck in. What's the proceedings? What's the proceedings are done? You can get stuck in. Well, that's true. You play very, very fast catch up. Oh, I'm very good at that guy. Don't you worry. What a shock. I'll take a quick break.
