Chapter 1: What happened during Alex Johnston's record-breaking NRL night?

0.031 - 7.96 G Lane

Bloody hell, it was a good weekend, wasn't it? A weekend of sport. Sport all over the place. All over the walls. Did you see that Friday night?

0

Chapter 2: Why is playing cricket in Autumn at 11pm considered a bad idea?

8.281 - 13.367 G Lane

Absolute scenes in Sydney with the Roosters versus the Rabbitohs.

0

13.427 - 14.708

Oh, for the Alex Johnson try record.

0

14.788 - 31.929 G Lane

Yeah, when he got the two tries. Oh, that warmed my heart because the amount of warnings there were to spectators to stay off the field, five and a half thousand dollar fine, a ban from the stadium. Mm-hmm. And people power took over. And they were like, you can stick your five and a half grand. We're running on.

0

32.57 - 34.132

And quicker than other players.

0

34.953 - 46.649 G Lane

They were fast. The best one was the Roosters fan that was first on the scene to hug Alex Johnston in a Roosters top. And then I saw people running on. And then they went back camera.

Chapter 3: What are the implications of Grim Lane booking flights to Sydney?

46.709 - 51.796 G Lane

And it was like a swarm of bees. All of a sudden, there was like 5,000 people on the field.

0

51.816 - 52.397

Bring that back.

0

Chapter 4: What insights does Matt Heath share in his F1 Corner?

52.377 - 76.766

It should be the situation when you hit a ton in cricket, say, for example, you have to fight for your life out on the field. Was it the 19 – it was Martin Crowe in the 1991 – 92? 92. 92 World Cup. The game wasn't even over, but people were confused and they ran on because he hit that four and got his- And he actually shook someone's hand.

0

76.806 - 77.748 G Lane

Someone put their hand out.

0

77.768 - 82.297

There were 4,000 people on the field and the game wasn't even over. Just congratulate.

0

82.317 - 90.293 G Lane

Bring it back. It was good stuff. And people were genuinely stoked. Yeah. and celebrating with him.

0

Chapter 5: What feedback did listeners provide in 'Yours Please'?

90.454 - 105.486 G Lane

And he was put up on the shoulders. And I quite like the way that, you know, some people would have just run off the field and be scared, but Alex Johnson stayed out there with the fans, was carried on the fans' shoulders. All the other players obviously got the fuck out of there because they didn't want to, you know, get...

0

105.466 - 112.497 G Lane

So they went back into the sheds, which was an odd time as well, like 20 minutes just sitting in the sheds and the commentators having to pad for 20 minutes.

0

112.557 - 129.643

And is that drill there, Leagies can tell me, but that drill where you've got three lines and you run back and forward with the short ball, is that the equivalent of the loser's circle in NRL? It feels like it. It's like, right, boys, we've got to look busy here, but we can't really be fucked doing anything. So three lines, back and forth, three-man week. Has anyone tried not warming up?

0

129.663 - 131.085

Like, you know...

0

Chapter 6: How does the NRL Grand Final impact fan experiences?

131.217 - 139.125

Because I think that's causing all kinds of troubles. The bench running back and forth behind the post, all that kind of stuff, I think.

0

139.245 - 143.229 G Lane

The Whakamana T20 team, there was a blanket rule, no warm-ups.

0

144.411 - 147.534

Does a cheetah warm up before it chases its prey? No. That's a good point.

0

147.554 - 159.851 G Lane

Are they stretching out the back? No. Are they doing like the shoulder things and warming up the shoulders? Anyway, it was good to see. And I was messaging you guys. I was like, how's this going to pan out? Because there was – So many people on the field.

0

159.871 - 173.814

I was texting you in a freak out. I was going, these guys are never going to get off the field. They're going to have to cancel the game. And as quick as they got on, They all ran off again. Well, that's because they're fans. Totally. They want to watch the game. This whole idea that, you know, anarchy would break out if you let people have fun.

173.854 - 189.514 G Lane

No, it would run its course. Yeah, and they all just ran back to their seats. It was like a computer game. It was like they went on and then you sent them all to their seats and they all scurried off. But the issue was they left thousands of tins of beer all over the field. That's fine. So that was the delay.

Chapter 7: What are the key takeaways from the T20 match between Black Caps and South Africa?

189.855 - 209.875 G Lane

And there was one poor guy got taken down by security. Did you see that? Thoughts and prayers for that one guy surrounded by security and getting apprehended while Pants Man, Mad Monday's Pants Man was on the field like a big giraffe filming himself. I've never seen a man so happy. And one poor guy got arrested.

0

210.243 - 222.3

Well, it's like, and it's something to remember, and it's why sheep have evolved to herd together and flock together because, you know, when the wolves attack, they'll get one or two, but they can't get all of you. Yeah. So it's almost a sacrificial lamb, that guy.

0

222.4 - 241.597 G Lane

Yeah. I hope there's a GoFundMe or something to pay for his fine. Yeah. But I saw anal made it on the field as well, so everyone was like, There was a $5,000 fine. I mean, he's probably the most well-known. Anthony Albanese. Oh, right, yeah. And he came on like such a mana munch. Oh, yeah, didn't he? It was the biggest mana munch, yeah.

0

241.838 - 242.9

Six, seven-man squad.

0

242.92 - 243.983 G Lane

It's like, come on, mate.

244.003 - 246.308

Rolling through. He looked like a bit of a penis, too.

246.288 - 252.855 G Lane

Yeah, you didn't need to do that. I mean, go in the sheds after the game and congratulate him, but don't run on the field with the rest of the fans.

252.895 - 266.13

But also, you're just walking past with your crew, past the guy that's underneath eight or nine fucking red badges. Hang on, so now you've got the Prime Minister of the country walking past the guy that's been apprehended for five and a half grand. Now it's suddenly real for like a kick in the dick for this guy.

266.27 - 271.055 G Lane

Yeah, it was great scenes. It was heartwarming to see that the fans do rule.

Chapter 8: What humorous moments occurred during the podcast's discussion?

298.936 - 310.976 G Lane

There was a small part of me that thought, go on. If that was the Warriors, if that was DWZ for the tri-squared record, they would have called it back. Let's go to the bunker. The Penrith Panthers put out a good post yesterday before their game.

0

310.996 - 318.769 G Lane

They said if, I can't remember, one of their players, I think Brian Toole or something, was like, if he scores 210 tries today, you're not allowed on the field.

321.466 - 335.76

That's good. Live from the Export Bear Garden studio, this is The Agenda for Monday, the 16th of March. Time's flying. The Agenda podcast, the home of sporting nonsense and claptrap. Brought to you by Export Ultra.

335.78 - 357.675 G Lane

They're calling it Game of the Century last night. Oh, my God. That game almost made me hate cricket. I commentated it with Lee Hart and Jeremy Wells last night, and it was probably, it was a weird vibe. Is that because they're playing cricket in the middle of March? Yeah, I think so. Against a Caesar. I'm getting smoked. I did not even recognise any players.

0

358.476 - 379.17 G Lane

But I felt like the World Cup was this kind of crescendo. We reached the top of the mountain. World Cup. We made the final. We didn't do so well, but who cares? We made the final. I felt like that's the time. Season's over. But now we've got this five-match T20 series. South Africa have sent pretty much a development team. Our team's not too bad.

379.21 - 402 G Lane

We've still got Satner in there and Nisham and Cole Jameson's in there. We've got Zach Foulkes in there. We've got Ben Sears in there. So it was a kind of weird vibe and we batted, won the toss and batted. Some terrible shot choice went on from Latham Conway and Nick Kelly who missed a straight one. 91 of 14.3. It wasn't pretty, but the pitch was a little bit slow, but it wasn't pretty.

402.06 - 403.842 G Lane

And they bowled okay.

404.323 - 426.609

Do you know what it reminded me of? And this isn't great, but this is just what sprang to my mind. It's like... You know when the All Blacks used to be professional and they'd come back from a tour and then they're straight back on the farm? Yeah, yeah. And then there'd be a photo of an All Black who's been in front of a huge crowd in the UK just talking in the pissing rain just on his own.

426.889 - 440.784

It felt a lot like that. You've been in this whole glorious situation. 130,000 people. And now no one gives a shit back here, not even the team that's Not even the team you're playing has bothered to turn up and you lose as well.
