Chapter 1: Why is Mashy still at work after resigning?
Um, this is a bit unexpected. Mashie, what are you doing here? Well, well, well, boys. I presumed, I don't know if anyone, if you would have watched our social media, you had to sign a resignation letter yesterday. So what are you doing here?
I packed you.
Chapter 2: What drama is surrounding NZR+?
I packed you stuff. Maconey's supposed to be here. Yeah, well, that's the issue. I got a text this morning from Joe Jury.
Chapter 3: What can we expect from the Super Rugby Semis?
If you haven't seen the video, last night something happened. Yesterday afternoon something happened. We went to Eden Park. The beaver spot? The beaver spot was found. Yep, it was shaved. Still can't quite believe it happened.
Chapter 4: What happened in the opening match of the FIFA World Cup?
But you hit the kick. Yep. I forgot to tell you that I kicked a lot of goals through my youth. Right.
Chapter 5: What were the highlights of the insane NBA Finals comeback?
Okay. Well, that explains why you had no issues. Absolutely drilling it. Joe got in touch this morning and said, hey, McConey's pulled out, so mind if you can come with one last show. So here I am.
Chapter 6: How does the ACC handle listener feedback in 'Yours Please'?
Excuse me. I'm on the purse of celebrating. So you're coming in as a contractor. Yeah, I'm going to ream you for this one on the invoice too, mate. I actually contacted Naya first. He said no. And then Matt Heath, he said no. Oh, hang on. How far down the list was I? Tony Lyle, he also said no. Right, okay. Isaac Silly Silly? Isaac, he's in a meeting. Okay. I called Carl Tiley from TAB.
He said, no, I can't make it either. So, yeah, no, you were about seventh on the list there. Okay, well, here I am. Everyone's soaked every year, no doubt. God, especially to hear your lung butter again. Also, Lane, I've contracted Mashi to do a... Jesus Christ. Sorry, it's been a big night, boys. I lost my job yesterday. A FIFA watch-along next week.
Oh, yeah, I'm back in next week as well on Tuesday. But then you're gone after that. Is that right? Yeah, well, I mean, I don't know. This is the thing. This is what unemployment looks like for me. I'll be on the beers probably round about. If you need anything, I'll be across the road at Empire.
It's a very effective way to get rid of someone, I must admit, like a stupid bet in which you force someone to resign. I think it's the way to go because any employer out there would know very hard, once you hit that 90-day window, that trial period, it's very hard to get rid of people these days.
You've got to go through this restructure or you've got to performance manage them out, when in reality you can just say, hey, if I kick this goal, you resign, and they sign up for it. I can't believe, HR, I went to HR yesterday after that. It's not HR anymore. It's culture and performance. And they said, sorry, there's not much we can do about this. Yeah.
Well, you signed a resignation letter and gave it to me yesterday. Yeah, well, that's exactly what they said. Yeah. Ironically. So here we are. Anyway, contractors can vape in the studio. I mean, fire me, boys. Sorry. I'm just having a hoon, sorry. Back out. We'll have to pay your invoice for this work if you want to get paid because you're a contractor. Can I vape as a contractor? No.
Okay, I'll put that down then. Vaping's not going to be good for your lung butter either. No, it's not. So what exactly, what was your, what did you go, I mean, talk me through your culture and performance meeting, because it's not HR anymore, they've rebranded. I just flicked them a text. You've texted culture and performance? Yeah, I'm on a first name basis with CMP. That's another story.
So CMP, you said, hey. Cullum and P hits. Can you just have a look at the, not, no. Do you say, I think I've been bullied into losing my job. No, I just flicked them a text and sent them a look to the video that we put out last night and said, hey. Just thoughts on this? Do you know what? And they said, yeah, unfortunately, mate, yeah, that checks out. That's all good with us.
Yeah, you signed a resignation. Take your stuff. They transferred my phone plan over last night. I wasn't able to send any texts. So I'm really starting from square one today. Not a great place to be, mid-bender, but... Anyway, here we are. Admittedly, I put the termination through immediately yesterday.

Chapter 7: What insights are shared about the All Whites' World Cup match?
Their aim was to sign a million people up to NZR+. They were going to use the Rugby World Cup as a vehicle to do that when it was in France. And I remember seeing the document they sent out because they sent an RFP, which is a request for proposal. Okay. Which is they send something out and they say, hey, we're looking for content for this platform. The budget is this. What's your ideas?
You've got until the end of the month to send your ideas in. I remember receiving it and just thinking, fuck that. Like... Is that what you honestly thought? Yeah, I was like, fuck that. I thought about putting stuff in, but I already knew that the decisions had probably already been made there because a good get was they got Taika Waititi and he got him for a million dollars.
To do what, though? To go do this thing around. It was Tour de Rugby, and he went around France. Tour de Rugby. But that was good, though, because he's a big Hollywood star. Yeah, I get that. And I think a million dollars all up, including his fee for that content, is probably good. Yeah. Good-ish. I don't know. No one really watched it. Certainly good for him. No one really watched it, though.
And anyway, they were desperate for more content, and then... So hang on, so just back one step. So if I wanted to see this Taika Waititi tour de rugby or whatever it was, I would have had to subscribe to NZR Plus? No, it's free though. They just want your data. Okay, right. Originally, I think they were looking at a paywall, but it's just a data paywall. Right. I never got it.
And then before, I think even they wanted to do a fly on the wall doco before they went to Japan and Europe, but they didn't tell the players. And so they had a crisis meeting in Auckland before they flew out, the Players Association, the players, and they said, we hated the Amazon one that you did. What's the plan here? And New Zealand Rugby were like, well, we've already signed it up.
We're doing it with NZR Plus. And they're like, well, no, you're not. And so they came up with this plan.
around you know um traffic light system green was you could film anywhere uh amber or orange was you know no did labor come up with this yeah yeah specific permissions read no filming and it was only going to be done by internal videographers because they were going to bring in external production teams yeah interestingly the production team was pango productions which is bailey mackie's company and he was on the board of new zealand rugby
Even though he declared his conflict of interest, because he also produced the Taika one for a million bucks. I see what's going on here, yep. He declared the conflict of interest, but still the optics in general, just the general public, it just sounds like everyone's, it's a big money pit and every pig has got their snout in the trough.
Rick Saliza got $2.7 million for his caravan that followed the All Blacks around France. Now, I don't know if you recall that one. I feel pretty confident in saying this. That's fucking robbery there for Rick Solito. George Chickabowow was in the caravan, you remember, but again, they didn't have buy-in from the players, NZR Plus and this whole platform.
