So, you know, in New Zealand, I remember, shit, I'm going along, telling a long story, but I remember being at university and doing a mock, uh, interview and, uh,

And the head of marketing said, you know, how's being an All Black going to help you in your career?

And I hated talking about that.

So I said, I don't know, I'm good in the team.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

I can deal with the media.

But I said, probably the most important thing in New Zealand is it's not what you know, but who you know.

And being an All Black opens doors to people who you would otherwise not get the opportunity to mingle with.

I mean, once the door's open, you've got to speak common sense or else the door will shut and you won't be invited back in.

Yeah.

And he poohooed that and I got a really, really bad grade for my mock interview.

Did you?

That's far out.

That's New Zealand.

It's not what you know, but who you know.

So be on good terms with all persons.

Yeah, Asahi bought us.

And yeah, by our standards, we won lotto.

Nice.

We were pretty happy.
