What happened at the Black Clash event?
You have long, luscious eyelashes, you were saying. Sorry, Manab, before we started recording.
So I've had to return glasses in the past because my eyelashes are so long that they wipe across the inside of the glasses. Shit. And, you know, all you basic bees with ugly-ass little eyelashes probably aren't aware of this. Yeah, right, here we go. But your eyelashes are very dirty. Their function is to keep dirt out of your eyes. Oh. And so when they smudge against the inside of your glasses, which will never happen to you. Yeah, it won't. It certainly won't. They leave dirty, dirty, greasy smudges on the inside of your glasses. So that's the only flaw I've got with the speed dealers, the ACC's dealing at the moment. Yeah, something happens when you put those glasses on.
It is, eh? You can feel it. You turn into something. A creature, yeah.
How did the Black Caps perform against India?
My missus was wearing them at the Black Clash.
Right, there you go. She turned into an absolute creature. Have you recovered from the Black Clash?
What updates are there on the All Blacks coaching saga?
I have. I have. I actually felt worse on the day of the Black Clash than I did on the Sunday afterwards.
Yeah, that Saturday was special. That Saturday was special.
But a first night fever, which always happens at the Black Clash because there's a sponsors event beforehand.
It's not just the Black Clash.
What are the All Whites' upcoming FIFA World Cup games?
It's every...
It's every ACC event, yeah, for sure. For sure, but the Black Clash is organised in such a way in particular that you have to be there, at least as a commentator. So for me, I had to be there the day before to do like a soundcheck thing, which is, and I've described it before, half an hour of them talking through how the day's going to run from a broadcast perspective, 30 seconds at the end explaining to Jason Hoyt how his buttons work, Does any of that go in? No. I have to explain it to him again the next day. And then we're cast out at about four in the afternoon with fucking nothing to do. except gas up.
What feedback did listeners provide in 'Yours Please'?
Yeah. We had a clear runway. We were speaking about it on the way home. I remember saying to you, like, holy shit, here we go. These are the best nights. We've got nothing on. But we've got a couple of events that we get to, you know, sing some pussy and hang out with some decent people at.
The mirage is that the game doesn't start till seven. So you're like, beaut, I'll have a good sleep in.
How has the ACC engaged with fans on social media?
Come seven o'clock, I'll be firing. Yeah, well said. No. And that's the trap door because that's not how the day goes. And so we, I mean, I slept in, I woke up at nine the next morning after first night fever on Friday night.
It was similar to us. I mean, Jojo, you're probably up at five after having some kind of Vietnam flashbacks to your cat scratching on your door.
Yeah. And my last memory is, We got heavily stuck into the YouTube battles. That's right. And my last memory was Goo Goo Dolls Iris in the rain. At Buffalo, New York. It was. The 4th of July. By the way, chuck that on when you get a chance.
Yeah, I'm sure you've seen it by now.
My God.
In the rain. Pissing down with rain. You've got some guy on the bass guitar with purple hair just waving it back. Gremlin on the bass guitar. Yeah. He ruins that video, eh, Joe?
He does ruin it. Get out of it. Yeah. Just keep on the rock.
You know, he still looks like that. He still looks like that, that guy.
So the lead singer of the Goo Goo Dolls has just this absolute heartthrob, late 90s, early 2000s heartthrob. He's got the long hair. It's in the rain. Is he on his knees from memory for sitting down?
Yeah, towards the end of it he is, yeah.
Yeah, and it's pissing with rain. And he's singing his heart out.
And then it looks like... By the way, it's pitch perfect as well.
Yeah. Oh, yeah.
Yeah, vocally, it's an insane performance.
And then it's like the comic book guy from The Simpsons is shrunk down and then soaked. And then he just... And he's playing a completely different song when he comes running out, it seems like. You know, like he's in a different band. He's headbanging.
Doesn't seem like the most complex bass line that there's ever been. It just feels like the type of song you should maybe sit in the pocket as a bassist.
