01 Mar 2026

Transcription

Chapter 1: Why is MCing a wedding considered the worst job?

0.031 - 2.354 Finn Caddie

Tell you what, Christchurch was full of listens over the weekend.

0

2.434 - 3.976 G Lane

Oh yeah, you were down at a wedding, weren't you?

0

4.597 - 6.82 Finn Caddie

Are we going? Sorry. We're actually starting.

0

Chapter 2: What happened in the latest Super Rugby round for Chiefs Mana fans?

6.84 - 12.668 G Lane

You were at a wedding? Yeah, I was at a wedding. So everyone else was in Christchurch for Electric Avenue.

0

12.808 - 14.41 Finn Caddie

Yeah, and Morning Maddie, sorry.

0

14.43 - 25.067 G Lane

It was very inconvenient that my cousin put her wedding on the same day as New Zealand's biggest festival. 90,000 people at Hagley Park over the weekend for Lechiav. Licky F, is that what it's called these days?

0

Chapter 3: What are the latest updates on the NRL and Peter V'landys' hair?

25.087 - 38.948 G Lane

Licky F. So we caught a flight back last night from Christchurch, and Jesus. There's some hollow. A lot of G-Lane fans on the plane. They're good people. I don't know if they were. It was a tough life. So the bathrooms would have been busy?

0

39.088 - 43.673 Finn Caddie

Yeah, bathrooms were busy. People keeping that plane in the air well and truly. People do it different.

0

Chapter 4: How are the Black Caps performing in the T20 World Cup?

44.053 - 53.141 G Lane

Good to know you survived. No doubt since you're linked to broadcasting, you would have been given some sort of role at the wedding, some sort of punishing role. I was given the role to MC.

0

53.161 - 56.104 Finn Caddie

Oh, the worst. I am out on MCing now.

0

56.424 - 58.046 G Lane

It's an administrative role, eh?

0

58.146 - 59.667 Finn Caddie

You've got to move people through.

0

59.687 - 62.972 G Lane

I'm so out on it. People that don't want to move and don't listen.

Chapter 5: What were the highlights of Dan Hillier's win at the NZ Open?

63.072 - 63.372 Finn Caddie

Yeah.

0

63.512 - 66.877 G Lane

You're just hurting. It's worse than hurting sheep. It's hurting cats.

0

Chapter 6: What feedback do listeners have in 'Yours Please' segment?

67.017 - 72.545 Finn Caddie

It's exactly what it is. And I don't mean to disrespect any wedding planners out there, but fuck, you guys are the worst of us.

0

73.506 - 93.132 G Lane

It is the worst job in any... If someone asks you to be MC in a wedding... Just don't do it. Immediately... This is my voice. I always say to people... Don't get any comedy material together because that's not your role. Your role is come on, everyone. Come on. We're going through everyone.

0

93.993 - 99.98 Finn Caddie

Since when was it the MC's responsibility to – why are they the official timekeepers of every proceeding?

0

100.301 - 114.598 G Lane

I don't know when it became my job to get everyone sitting down for the ceremony, get everyone sitting down for the dinners, getting everyone sorted for the thing. You were involved in the ceremony. No, not really, but I had to make sure that – like she came up to me and said, you obviously know where everyone's sitting. I've got no fucking idea where everyone's sitting at the ceremony.

0

114.638 - 116.621 G Lane

Where everyone's sitting is not the MC's job.

Chapter 7: What are the implications of the recent cricket matches?

116.641 - 125.072 Finn Caddie

Yeah, I've written a couple of shit gags about the groom. That's my job. I'll execute those to the best of my abilities and then I'll go home. But yeah, that's it for me and MCing.

0

125.112 - 138.49 G Lane

So there's only one gag you need. You go, the weather's been pretty average in the area lately. There's been a few millimetres, hasn't there? Which is incidentally what the bride will be getting tonight.

0

138.65 - 139.987 Matt Heath

Hey! Yep.

0

140.007 - 150.757 G Lane

And then you're just on the back foot for the rest of the wedding after the silence that fills the room. That's where I like to start every MC, kickers on the back foot. Are you guys still doing your kind of one and done MCing?

0

151.418 - 153.92 Finn Caddie

Yeah. What have you called yourselves? We've got some coming up this year, one and done.

154.14 - 160.806 G Lane

Have you guys ever opened yourselves up to weddings? Oh, no. No, we don't want to get into ruining weddings. No.

Chapter 8: How do the hosts feel about the overall sports weekend recap?

160.826 - 164.69 G Lane

Ruining corporate events, that's fine. You don't want to ruin someone else's day.

0

164.85 - 179.753 Finn Caddie

No, you don't. You certainly don't. That's half the problem. Maybe you should open yourselves up if there's any agenda radio out there that are just, hard out fans and you're looking for a couple of wedding emcees would you guys do it if you want someone to ruin your day then yeah we are we're very expensive though yeah if you want someone to ruin your special day

0

181.117 - 200.695 G Lane

Speaking of special days, condolences, Matt Heath. You didn't take out a Changi on Friday. Shit. Both of us got done by David Warner in the commentator's curse of the year. Yeah. That was a goodie, though, from him. That was an absolute cracker from him. Almost unbeatable. The lack of awareness. Yeah. Good to see Matt Henry and Ish Sodhi.

0

200.675 - 206.923 G Lane

accept the rewards while in India during the T20 World Cup. That was humbling to watch as well.

0

207.344 - 213.972 Finn Caddie

People have said a lot about Ish Sodhi. People have said that he only bowls half trackers and takes wickets at a quarter on the mid-wicket boundary, and I've had enough of those people saying things like that.

213.992 - 215.494 G Lane

That's unfair. I just want that on the record.

215.514 - 216.816 Finn Caddie

He's having a good time over there, though.

217.036 - 231.716 G Lane

He's having a good time. He's having a great time over there. He gets a lot of revolutions, and anything can happen. Yeah. That's right. That's right. Okay. Let's talk about that. That's in the agenda, but let's get into it. Live from the Export Begarna studio, this is the Agenda podcast for Monday the 2nd of March.
