What memories do the hosts share about their first day of high school?
Morning, fellas. Yo. Morning, Lane. Morning, Manai.
How do the Black Caps perform as Dead Rubber Specialists?
Hey, I've got a question for you. Thanks. I've got a question for you guys. I mean, it's a bit more recent than myself, but can you remember your first day at high school?
What are the proposed new rules for the NRL?
Oh.
At college? Yeah, I think so. Can you, I mean. I can because there was an incident.
How can I join the Super Rugby Fantasy League?
Yeah, for you though, were you just sent off on the bus or just to walk to school on your own, just a couple of mates and a lunchbox and that's it?
Yeah, my mum didn't even take me to the bus stop.
Things have changed. Things have changed. It's now, and I blame social media, I blame parents on Facebook and Instagram. Oh, have you got kids studying high school today? Yesterday. It's now turned into a parental content off. Oh. And I felt so sorry. I saw some of the footage and I felt so sorry for some of the kids who were walking into their first day of high school. And it's like a corridor of parents with their phones out videoing it.
What feedback do listeners provide in the 'Yours Please' segment?
And then editing it, chucking it up on Reels. Five things sending my kid off to school taught me about. I was just like, come on, man.
This is so funny you say this because I remember on my first day of school when we got on the bus, we went to a stop off in Ahoka and there was a girl named Erica who got lined up with her younger sisters on the front step of the bus. And then they got spun around and they had to take a photo for the mum.
What are the implications of the Black Caps' recent performance on the T20 World Cup?
And she got bullied for that for the next five years.
But they probably don't even bully them for that stuff anymore. No, no, they don't. And that's a shame. I just saw it and I drove past another school this morning and I was like, what is going on? And there would have been a thousand people outside the school and it was all parents. And phones up like the fucking filming Tiger Woods teeing off. And I was like, oh, man, fucking hell. That's humiliating. I mean, I was at boarding school, so there were no parents there. Yeah. They weren't even in the same town as you.
It's ideal.
Admittedly, we made poor Ralph stand up against the wall in his uniform, took a photo, but we had to promise him that it's only going to the grandparents because the grandparents all said, please send a photo of Ralph in his high school uniform. Might make the family Christmas card at the end of the year at best. And I jokingly said, oh, man, Ralph, Mum got heaps of likes on Facebook for a photo.
And he goes, what? Mum!
And I was like, just joking. Oh, dude, that would tip me off.
How do the hosts feel about the proposed NRL rule changes?
Just lost them plot. Anyway, put them away. Photo's fine. Put them away. Like you want a photo on your fridge, whatever. But don't go to the school and film. One of the things I learned about myself, sending my daughter off to high school was not a post.
Does everything have to be content? I know.
I know. We're in the content business, so we can't really talk. Yeah, this is the issue. But we secure ourselves against that because we do such horrific shit that we'd never want it to be on social media. That's a way of keeping your private life private.
Well, actually, so far to the point that I got a fright when I saw a video from yesterday's podcast being released on social media this morning to the point where I didn't want it to be up.
I thought this can't be. This is the kind of stuff that we don't need on social media.
It was us kind of slagging off.
It's a statement saying that we don't break sports news here. We make up news. Is that an allegation that's been levelled against this podcast?
What humorous anecdotes do the hosts share about sports commentary?
Yeah, and we put ourselves, sports entertainment, ahead of editorial integrity. And there's some people that are blurring the lines around us being actual, any sort of editorial integrity. Yeah. Which I need to just clarify that we have zero. We don't fact check. Don't come here for any sort of –
We hear the same rumours that you do at home. And we have no more information coming in than that. We just have three microphones in front of us. That's the only difference between us and you at home.
I know. It's like people often slag us off for that kind of thing. It does not offend me at all because that's not, it's like when they're like, oh, can you just commentate the game?
