What incident involved Ben Stokes and Gus Atkinson at a nightclub?
Oh, morning, miserable mashie. Morning, morning, morning. Morning, listen. Oh, look at you. You really had to put effort in there, didn't you? I'm feeling it this morning, boys.
How did a Queensland couple contribute $40 million to MND at an AFL game?
I know Tuesday gets a bad rap for being a bad day, but not this Tuesday. That's because you started on Thursday. Yeah, that's a good point. I finally feel myself today, I've got to be honest. Joe, how are you feeling?
Are the Chiefs playing mind games with Wallace Sititi's return date?
I know yesterday I got a few messages about your nasal cavity. Yeah, a lot better today. Yeah, the Colombian flu seems to be getting better. I tell you what, though, I mean, we didn't play up as bad as old Stokesy.
What are the plans for a new NRL team in Christchurch?
No, what have they done? So him and Gus Atkinson have gone out for a couple of bevvies post-victory at Lords. Obviously stoked with the conditions and stoked to humiliate New Zealand in a shitter at the home of cricket.
How is listener feedback addressed in 'Yours Please'?
Yeah, wrapped up a couple of days early as well. Perfect.
Yeah.
Perfect. Yeah, that means that, you know, you're at a loose end. Schedule's good.
What are the upcoming events in sports this week?
We don't fly out for probably, or bus out for another three, four days. What are we going to do, boys? So, you know, the self-imposed curfew of midnight was put in place post the getting punched in the head in Wellington episode. Yep. And apparently, even though the test was over, the midnight curfew still stands. Yeah.
What are the implications of the Crusaders playing in Christchurch?
But apparently, it's not about the midnight curfew. Right, okay. It's about an incident that occurred. Yeah. While out.
Yeah.
How does the discussion around gay athletes in sports unfold?
First question, was there a homosexual involved? Not sure because, of course, Ben Stokes is famous for being the gay avenger after some gay slurs were thrown at a couple of people outside, I think it was a Bristol nightclub, and he went and defended their honour. I wouldn't mess with him. I certainly wouldn't. His left-right combo was one of the best, but great defence in court. It was... that he was avenging the honour of a couple of gentlemen. And that's why he became known as the gay avenger. When you're in trouble, he just put up the big... Big light, the big G in the sky, and he'll come. So maybe. Yeah. But he's a lot skinnier. He's almost a lightweight boxer now. He's not going to be picking the punch that he once was.
So do we have any idea what's happened? Is it just speculation at the moment? The only official kind of thing we've got is that it was those two were out and they're currently being investigated for an incident. Yes, it's not speculation. The ECB is currently investigating a breach of team protocol following the conclusion of the first test, and they said it's present at a nightclub in the early hours of Monday morning. Like, Sunday night nightclub. There's only a few places open in London. I mean, London, you can go anywhere. Oh, that's a good point. But it won't be a big club. It'll be a... Either an exclusive club or a slightly decrepit club. I'm imagining a place that has carpet on the floor. Yeah. That's what I'm imagining here.
Well, the church is open on Sunday in London, on Sundays. They could have gone to the church. Yeah, many scraps going. I mean, again, this is just elegant. Just Kiwi and Aussie lizards everywhere. Could Harry Brook not get in again? Yeah, maybe. Is that why he wasn't involved in the incident? Yeah, and I think Ben Duckett was caught out on the road on Snapchat trying to find an Uber. Trying to get on Uber. i think i i reckon harry brooks probably trying to keep his powder dry oh yeah well they should all be i'm not going to lie um it's a test victory can you not go out and celebrate a test victory no well without getting in an incident i would have thought you could i wonder what the incident is like because you'd be so many gobby palms giving you advice on the ashes first even they might have been involved with the gobby gobby
I mean, that's a positive incident. I mean, yeah, I don't know. I wouldn't mind them reporting on that. Yeah. I wonder if it'll ever come out. It'll leak out eventually, I guess. Yeah, they always tend to, don't they? Especially after the series, they might. Yeah, once we've wrapped up the next couple of tests or whatever. Yeah, a two-game suspension for those two I'd be happy with.
