Chapter 1: What is G Lane's best/worst St. Patrick's Day story?
But hey, happy St Paddy's Day. I was going for a trot, a jaunt down at Tamaki Drive this morning. We passed a couple of establishments that were getting ready to go for a big St Paddy's Day. No one was there yet.
Chapter 2: Why is the NZ20 vs The BBL a significant debate in New Zealand cricket?
But it's like Irish.
I don't need an excuse, but this one provides an excuse for Irish to go full Irish. Yeah, it does.
And also in Auckland, I don't know if it's like this everywhere else in the country, but it gives guys in, you know, Chinos, RM Williams in a puffer vest a reason to go out and cheat on their partners on a Tuesday night. Yep. You know, there's a lot of that going on already down there. There's a lot of businessmen playing up today.
Yeah, right. And under the guise of St. Paddy's Day. I still haven't recovered from the St. Paddy's Day, which I had in Palmerston North. During my early media days, I used to work at MediaWorks Palmerston North. Okay. 2XS FM. Yeah. Mike West was down there. Anyway, I was a young whippersnapper and St. Paddy's Day, obviously...
Chapter 3: How does the All Whites' squad announcement impact New Zealand football?
Back in those days, you had a big radio promo. You'd go down there, and it's just pouring piss left, right, and center. Guinness is flying everywhere.
Chapter 4: What are the pros and cons of a privately run T20 competition in New Zealand?
I got full face paint. It was me and the drive guy. Yeah, we got full face paint. Not black, I hope. No, full green face paint. Oh, right.
Chapter 5: What feedback do listeners have for the podcast in 'Yours Please'?
And then we managed to, both with full green face paint, both happened to get lucky. And I woke up in what I can only describe. I don't know. I think we're going here, don't you? I can only describe as an outhouse of a flat. You know one that has the ranch slider that is dangerously wet on the inside because due to the condensation. Were they called like port-a-combs or something like that?
Yeah, I found myself in a port-a-com. Yeah. And I looked over and I was like, oh, okay. Hello. Hello.
Was she also painted green?
No, she wasn't, but there was a lot of green all over the sheets. Yeah, okay. So, and I worked out that I still had a lot of face paint on. Yeah, okay. And I didn't know where my mate had gone, Glenn was his name.
Chapter 6: How does the BBL affect New Zealand's cricket future?
And I was like, Glenn, and I was texting him and I was like, where are you? And he goes, I don't know. Okay. And then I said, neither do I, but I'm going to make an exit because it was a weekday. I had to go back to work. Oh. And so I was in the driveway and I called him and he goes, I don't know where I am. Let me look out the front window. And I turn around and he's in the same house.
And I was like, I can see you. So you managed to pull up in a flat, thank God.
Same girl. No, no, he was a different girl. Anyway, he crawls out of there and falls out of the front window and we get a taxi back to work. This is like 8 in the morning. Basically, we arrive back to work still with half face paint on. We're in the toilets of MediaWorks Palmerston North trying to scrub the... Yeah, that's nasty.
Chapter 7: What humorous nicknames have been suggested for G Lane?
What can only be described as house paint off our faces.
Right, okay. That MediaWorks building in Palmerston North has seen some things.
Oh, yeah.
Because my flatmate Darcy used to work for them.
It's right in the square there.
Yeah, it's problematic.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of having a team in the BBL?
Yeah.
I left that job. I left that job and my parting gift is I sat on the photocopier and I photocopied my bowls and I put it under every single manager's door. Suck on these. Suck on these nuts.
So what are you doing tonight? Have you got any plans for St. Paddy's Day?
Joe, I mean, look at you. Look at you, boy. I'll head down to Palmy probably. I'm Scottish, aren't I?
Yeah, it's more Scottish, isn't it? I'll be at the cricket tonight. Oh, yeah, fuck. What a way to celebrate St Paddy's Day.
Everyone's got a bit of Irish or Scottish or English in them, don't they? I certainly do.
I mean, everyone in this room does.
I think any white person in this country has a little bit, don't they?
Yeah, well, I mean, it's not really our domain going into colonisation, but I think even people that don't have a lot of white in them still have a bit of Irish in them, whether that was up to them or not.
