What is discussed at the start of this section?
I was scrolling through socials this morning, G-Lane.
Yeah.
And I saw a friend of the show has been shitting on us slightly. He did an interview, Mitchell Santner, with the great cricketer.
Santner's a little helper.
Yeah, and he was... I mean, we made it.
I mean, we broke him through. Did we? He broke through with us. We gave him his head start, didn't we? I'm still getting likes from the photo we took of us.
Yeah, doing great numbers, to be fair. Really boosted my social engagement on a personal level.
Mainly from the subcontinent.
Yep. Don't get me wrong. It's not maybe the type of listener I'm after.
Probably the most liked photo we've had.
Oh, without a doubt.
Nearing up 10,000 likes. Yeah, they love him. It's our Tim Payne.
They love him. It's our Tim Payne. They love him. Well, anyway, actually, he spoke a little bit about how they maybe don't love him too much over there at the moment. But also a couple of drive-bys on some previous teammates of him that are now in charge of things at England.
Oh, right. Brendan McCullum, Jake Patel, Tim Southie, all coached England in recent times. Are these guys, would you describe them as two-faced traitors or just nice guys who, you know, have nice jobs? Somewhere in the middle working.
If they beat us, yeah, toothpaste. Annoying. If we beat them, just nice guys, just unlucky on the day kind of stuff. But, I mean, it was cool to see. You know, we played with Baz, Jeets, and Tim a lot to see them kind of going out there and doing some coaching elsewhere. It's pretty cool. Obviously, the money's a little bit better elsewhere than New Zealand, so fair play. So he's so laid back still. Still not really a drive-by, though. Still super nice about it.
It was pretty nice. There was another clip that I saw asking if they'd shed the plane from India over to the UK together, and he said, no, certainly not. Baz would have been up the front, right at the front.
Right at the front. And I was down the back, yeah, certainly.
He had an interesting tournament in the IPL, didn't he, Santa?
Not many Kiwis had good ones, I'm sure. Blew his shoulder out.
And then he came back and he blew his other shoulder out, I think. He had a double shoulder job.
Yeah, it wasn't a great IPL for New Zealand at all. No one, I think it was only... The Duff Man. The Duff Man won. The Duff Man won. He would have got a good bonus. Muff Man, what a year he's had. Yeah, no, he is on a heater at the moment, an all-time heater. And also on such a heater that he decided to say no thanks to going to England. Yeah, fuck yeah. Like a place in which the Muff Man would probably do pretty well. Yeah, I don't know why he did that. I think he's got the birth of his first child coming up. Makes sense. I can understand that then. But he just decided to pass on the whole tour. So he's had a pretty busy 12 months. But it's a shame for our player of the year to not be in England.
But having said that, did you see the story a couple of weeks ago where Michael Vard, the All Whites goalkeeper, has been, I don't know, besmirched in the media recently for kicking the can down the road on him and his partner's wedding plans?
That's fine. Wedding's fine because we're the wedding. And he said it. You can't really kick the can down the road when it comes to childbirth. No, it's going to come out no matter what. But as he said, finals only come out every now and then. Yeah. Where he can move a wedding.
Yeah.
I mean, it would have cost a bit, I'd say, but I would have had a cancellation fee on the venue or something some morning.
Yeah.
And his wife would probably, you know, pay for the dresses and the flights for the bridesmaids to come up.
So she's probably a bit salty. Yeah, but at the same time, she could still have a party or something like that.
He wouldn't have organized anything. No. The groomsmen wouldn't even have been aware of what was going on. So he's fine.
He's one of those athletes that looks a little bit like he doesn't even know where he is when he's playing the sport that he's trained for his whole life. He's just kind of looking around clueless.
