What issues does Manaia Stewart address at the start?
Good morning, how's it all going?
Not too bad, not too bad. You didn't tune in to our drive-by episode yesterday, did you? I did, man. I was just hanging out the washing and a couple of bullets came through my sheets.
I was like, what the fuck?
What are the highlights of the NRL preseason and Demitric Vaimauga's haircut?
What was said about you?
No, it was the episode where we drove by probably most people but also focused on the greatest walkout of all time and that was the Pinot Noir walkout.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Ah, yeah. The only thing that I... That's right. The only point of contention I had was when you were talking about how the Pinot Noirs didn't go... Pinot Noirs? I've forgotten.
How are the new Super Rugby laws impacting the game?
It's been so long since they existed. But... About getting a corporate box and just drinking wine and that whole thing. And you said that I would have gone up and shot the place. No, I would have loved that because my issue with the Pinot Noirs was they're not fans of the Warriors. They don't go to the games. They sit at home and take photos of their own face. And I think you can go back and listen to the actual walkout episode. I was saying the same thing.
What insights does Anna Willcox share about the Winter Olympics?
I was just like, my issue is not that they're being fans of the Warriors the wrong way. My issue is they're not fans of the Warriors. They're fans of themselves. Yeah. This is never about the game. You never hear them talk about the game at all. It's just them taking photos of their own face. From their couch. So how did it work? You decided.
I said exactly that. Okay.
And he just got up and went.
What are New Zealand's medal chances at the Winter Olympics?
Yeah. He took that as a personal. I said the Pinot Noirs aren't fans of the Warriors. They're fans of themselves. Yes. That was the line.
That was the line.
Yeah, that was the line that drew it. But, yeah, I still think there's an opportunity there to take the Pinot Noirs to another level. But they're not going to go to the game. And this was my whole point about the Pinot Noirs from the start. If it was a corporate box, they would. Yeah, that's a good point. Yeah, yeah, they 100% would. That's the irony. I guess that's how you get to that level of wealth and affluence is by never paying for anything yourself. Yeah. And so, unless they get free tickets. Whereas, meanwhile, everyone else has to pay to go and sit in the freezing cold sideways rowing. Yeah. But that was my point about the Pinot Noirs is that I didn't hate them, more the merrier, but they're not fans of the Warriors.
And my point at the time was... and you guys be the judge whether I was right or wrong, as soon as they start losing, they'll disappear. Oh, yeah, that's like any New Zealand sports fan, though. That is like every New Zealand sports fan on earth. No, not with the Warriors, and I guess that's why it raised my antlers, is because Warriors fans, every one of them has memories of sitting in the pissing cold sideways rain, watching Sean Johnson line up a conversion from the sideline to cut the deficit to 40, and thereby eliminating us out of contention for the playoffs in mid-March. But that's just like cricket, though, as well, because where are the other 38,000 people that turned up for the semifinal versus South Africa at Eden Park and against Australia at Eden Park?
Where have they been since?
Where have they been since? Yeah.
Where are those 38,000 people?
Because there's 2,000 turn up for a normal game. There's 38,000 missing.
There were signs of a late comeback, though, if the Pinot Noirs wasn't there after it won the radio award. The Blackie. Yeah, that's right.
He was a massive fan of the Pinot Noirs once again for a moment there. You got up on stage, didn't you, for that one, Meshie? Yeah, I think so. Did you get thanked for that?
What do you reckon?
You didn't get a chance to do a speech? I've got a... That was about a year after the Penal Wise died off a cliff, though, wasn't it, I think. But before we get into the potty today, we've got a special guest as well, Anna Wilcox, live from Italy, from the Winter Olympics. It doesn't get much more special than that. Yeah. I've got a little bit of a situation that happened to me last night. Twilight Golf.
Oh, nice.
I play Twilight Golf on Tuesdays.
