Chapter 1: What challenges did G Lane face upon returning from Hong Kong?
Well, well, well. Well, well, well. Oh, it's good to be back. Looking fairly sheepish. It's good to be back, Mashi, back in the beer garden studio. Yeah.
Chapter 2: What are the highlights of the sights and tastes in Hong Kong and Macao?
Back from Hong Kong, back from the Sevens. Curses being lifted. Got a new set of kicks. I left my other shoes in a rubbish bin in the middle of the... Venetian casino in Macau. Okay, a lot to go over already. Was that not another dog shit hell situation? Nah, nah. It was just, I just wanted, they were just a bit rancid. Human shit, I think. Yeah. Anyway. Did you get those from the market?
I mean, those are nice. Very similar to the ones you had. Yeah, very similar.
Chapter 3: How did the victory of the Black Ferns affect the Grim Lane's status?
Did you get those from a market or did you get those? No, these are genuine from the Nike shop in the Venetian in Macau where we did the last podcast from. What is Macau? I was trying to figure that out as I was listening to you guys yesterday on that podcast. Great podcast, by the way. Macau is like... It's Chinese Vegas. Okay.
Chapter 4: What unique experiences did the hosts have at the Venetian casino?
Yeah, pretty much. You should have heard the other one that we couldn't send you. Yeah. Okay. No, the Chinese Vegas. So it's 10 times the size of Vegas. So it's massive. And it's basically where... A lot of Chinese people go for a weekend away. Yeah, no, it's okay. But it's quite family orientated as well. Heaps of kids everywhere. Because shopping malls are outrageously big.
Like the Venetian was more a shopping mall than it was casino. But then it was like two floors. The casinos were so massive, eh? It was insane. And you weren't allowed to wear a hat in the casino. Right. And obviously Joe and I have big cap wearers. Yeah, we all are.
Chapter 5: How does Macau compare to Las Vegas in terms of attractions?
So we wander in and the guy's like, uh-uh. He looked at our hats and we're like, okay, we'll have to take them off. And he goes, no, just turn them around. So we're wandering around the casino with our hats on backwards. A couple of real penises. So are they worried about what? I can't see your eyes. Joe almost got assaulted by the security guy chased after him.
We explained that in the last potty in the... Filming the smoking room. The smoking aquarium. Okay. Where it was a glass. We got into a bit of trouble with that in Vegas as well, didn't we? You always shouldn't whip the camera out. I mean, I can see why you were trying to hide your eyes, Joe, after getting a couple of photos back from that first night.
You boys went large on that first night, I understand. That first night. That was the definition of first night fever, man. So on the podcast, I think you mentioned a top three hangover for you. Yeah, yeah. Top three for me. Top 10 for me for that second day. Second day, yeah, because you really punched on the second day, whereas it took me ages to get my wind up again.
I didn't even make it to dinner, though, that second night. No, well, I didn't make it to dinner the first night. So, no, Joe gets out of the lift. Great hosting by us as well. Joe gets out of the lift on the second night and we're like, okay, we're just going to go dump, bag dump, see you on the rooftop. And then Joe left. I went, see you, Joe. And he just walked off. Never saw him again. Okay.
For 15 hours. Yeah, okay. So I sent a text message the next morning going, hey, did I go to dinner? Was there Vietnamese? Was I there? I'm just amazed that you always do this in new places as well. I can't think of anything worse. Do you wake up the next day going, where am I? How do I get anywhere? Where is everyone else that's here with me? Well, we need separate rooms.
Or are you just used to this now? Nah, we need to be roomed together. Yeah, we need a buddy system because otherwise we just separate. Yeah, and then just go our own ways and do our own thing and end up in Joe Bananas with You're in Joe Bananas, I'm in a karaoke bar, fast asleep in the corner. Oh, were those photos coming in from the karaoke bar? Yes.
Oh, I thought you- There was a woman in the group with her hands over her ears because it was so loud and I was just fast asleep. Yeah. Was that before or after you took on Mr. Brightside? After. Oh, that's good. It was kind of a... There's video evidence of that. Like a hell of a trip. No, there's not video evidence. Yeah. Larry David's got it. Oh, Larry David. Oh, my God.
You've been Joe Jerried. Larry, we had... It's good to see the shoe on the other foot. We had a Pokemon evolution of me on this trip. There was a guy... Filmed everything. Filmed absolutely everything. Yeah. And how did that make you feel? It was a bit confronting, actually. Now I understand how you guys feel.
Well, how many followers do we have to have on the Caravan, the ACC Facebook group, to release that original podcast that you guys weren't able to send back due to, I don't know. They can never even. No, no. It was some heavy. Can you discuss maybe what you were talking about? We tried to recount that following follow-up the previous day.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the curse being lifted for New Zealand rugby?
And we're asking him whether they still do the smuggling because obviously Hong Kong's now a territory of China. So I was like, do they need smuggling anymore? And he told us a great story that when he was ā living there post-COVID or during COVID, China had some of the strictest quarantine regulations in the world, like two or three weeks just in a box pretty much.
And people couldn't fly their pets home, like strictly no pets. Pets just had wherever they were, they just had to stay. So what they were doing, family domestic pets were being shipped to Hong Kong and then put on a smuggler's boat across to mainland China. So these massive speedboats would have ā Cages and cages of dogs and cats or whatever. A couple of Pomeranians on them or whatever.
Well, one time they got intercepted by the police. So the smugglers started just offloading all the cages off the side and they all washed up on the beach, local beach in Hong Kong. So there's all these like Pomeranians and labradoodles and cats and everything all just washing up onto the beach. That's a heinous yarn. Yeah. Fucking hell, Scotty. They don't fuck around in China. No, they don't.
They do not fuck around. And they don't want to go to jail by the sounds of things. I mean, look, it's either you or the Pomeranian or the Mancun. Who's it going to be? Overboard. Mancun's gone, man. You are. The Pomeranian especially, you punt that over the back. So talk me through watching sport in Hong Kong. You alluded to some jugs of what CC and Dry before. Oh, definitely.
Mate, it's exactly like kind of twicking them in the fact that you can't walk five meters without someone offering you a beer, whether it's a mobile beer seller or a bar. And you can pretty much order a three-liter jug of anything you want. Oh, thank you. Because all I can think about is just whenever we're trying to order a drink here, it's a massive inconvenience.
And you've got to take 25 minutes out of the game to try and figure out when you can go get a new tray. So that's good. They're all over that. You had to pay extra for the jugs as well. I think we just had a sea of jugs underneath us. We returned it to the jug bin at the end of the day. But the jugs, like you could get a jug of rum and coke. You could get a jug of CCN dry. Scraps on.
You have to get a jug of Aperol Spritz. And the jug of Aperol Spritz had a whole bottle of Aperol in it. So we saw them do that. A jug of Verve. Yeah, you can get anything you want. And it's no worries. And there wasn't, to be honest with you, I didn't see anyone get thrown out. I think the only people that had any sort of biffo was us towards those old expats. What was the issue there?
We explained that in the potty from Macau. There was a seating issue. It was a seating issue. We were in the right. And it was just these little pig-headed fucking cock-sucking expats, which I eventually broke. And I just told him to shut the fuck up. And he could see him kind of curl back into his seat. So I was very close to going back there and threatening him. Good man. He was 17.
And was this amidst the massive hangover that you were running into?

Chapter 7: What feedback did listeners provide during the 'Yours Please' segment?
We were here first. We were here yesterday as well. I was like, mate, we were on a plane yesterday. So sorry. But we're here today and we're here tomorrow, okay? It's just that you know we're here tomorrow as well. There's no reserved seats in this place. Well, these ones are. These ones are. They got reserved on them, you cocksucker. Oh, sounds like a hell of a time. Oh, I know.
Just moaning old poms. We're going to the Sevens. Jesus Christ. Yeah, I know. Get a life. Do you know what you're signing up for? I know. It's not the Masters. Next year we definitely go to the South Stand.
Okay, right. The South Stand's where it's at.
Is that where the Skuna Skura was? That's where the Lobsters were. That's where ā The G-Lane fans were, yeah. And that's where ā The Venga Boys. The Venga Boys played too. So the Venga Boys. Never thought that I'd see the day that I'd say that they were a good time. Day one at about six o'clock after six hours on the jugs of Pimms. I was ā the Venga bus was coming, my friend.
I don't doubt it. Yeah. You haven't got a glint in your eyes to retell this story. Well, yeah. I mean, the two dudes, you know, they were an interesting couple. And the girls, they could have been any singers. I don't know if they were the Venga boys. I don't think they were. It was just ā
It was two hot dudes in a cowboy and sailor outfit and then two absolute smoke shows in army catsuit and then in like a Wonder Woman kind of catsuit thing. They could have been. Actually, they could have been. They could have just been karaoke specialists. Who knows? But anyway, so yeah, Kai Tak, brand new stadium.
I mean, if you pick that up and dump that in the tank farm in Auckland, problem solved. Go hard. How many seats was it? It was a fitty. You don't need, I don't reckon we need a fitty. We don't need a fitty. 35. 35, but it also had like a 10,000 seater smaller stadium outside, which had lights, which was uncovered. Yep. Because this one had a retractable roof.
And then they had an indoor 15,000 seater as well for basketball and indoor concerts and stuff like that. And it was all in the same area. Wow. Right in town, on the old Kai Tak Airport runway.
Okay.

Chapter 8: What upcoming events and plans do the hosts share for the Super Round?
I am.
But again, just you can jump into the ACC hosted pot. And look, I don't want to guarantee that we're going to win some money, but if our record is anything to go off, we certainly hopefully will add to whatever you put into the pot. Just head along to the Betch app, hit the Betch social tab, and then put the username, the ACC6969.
If you've already joined us for one of our previous pots, you do not have to do that. It'll automatically come up. T's and C's apply. All right, Dean, be responsibly. Right, let's take a break and come back with some Yours Pleases. Hey, before we get to the Yours Pleases, obviously we had a couple of long-haul flights, so I downloaded a bunch of content to watch on the plane.
No, it's okay.
I've got to recommend Untold, the sports docos on Netflix. They've released a bunch more, and I watchedā Hang on, is this G-Lane's Netflix corner?
Yeah.
I don't know if there's a sting for that. Yeah, so I watched The Jailblazers, which is about the trailblazers of the early 2000s who got up to all sorts. Okay. Talking your cocaine, your marijuanas, your touch of sex offending. And Scottie Pippen played for them, which is interesting. I didn't know that. Was he ā No, no, he was a goody two-shoes. Maybe the front two? It's interesting, though.
An interesting look at that. And then the other one was the death and life of Lamar Odom.
Okay. That is interesting.
