Actually, this is what we were going to talk about on the podcast yesterday. The pre-game at the Richmond Club yesterday. I knew as soon as I got there, I was like, this is, we're in the black hole now until the end of the show today.

Chapter 2: Who is Billy Bush and why is he significant?
Shout out to Minaya's mum as well.
Oh yeah, shout out to mum.
Shout out to your mum who's listening to this. And my mum as well. She was listening for the first time. This is the kind of thing that I get up to on a Monday morning.
Why haven't you been to the Richman Club there?
Well, I got growled there as well. Oh, my uncle. I know him as Uncle King. You know him as Billy Bush. Famous All Black. He came down. It was good to see him. What was he down for? So he's down for the league. No, he lives in Christchurch. Oh, he lives in Christchurch. Billy Bush from Belfast. And the Richmond Club's actually his local. They go down there every Friday for a roast.
Oh, is that right? And he said, oh, my nephew's coming down to do a thing here. I'll have a table, thanks. They said, oh, no, it's all booked out. And he goes, I'll have a table, thanks. And so they brought a table over and they ate a whole roast meal down the front, right next to where G Lane's interviewing Mark Tukey and Russell Packer. And Uncle King, he's down the front having a full roast.
Well, I would have thought he's one of the most famous people, basically. He is. Yeah, exactly. Like when he says he wants a table, you give that man a table. Thank you for your service. Yep.
He picked the Cowboys up because he does bus driving down here and for years he was the All Blacks and the Crusaders bus driver. So when the All Blacks come into Christchurch, here comes old Billy Bush picking them up in the bus. Just culture things, you know what I mean? That's what success looks like in a team sport. and he said he got a call saying, oh, can you do one job for us?
And he picked them up at about bloody midnight on Thursday and said, who are you fellas? They said, oh, we're the Cowboys. What do you guys do? Oh, we play rugby league. What are you doing down here? I'll be playing the Warriors. He said he should have got mixed up and taken them on a tiki tour.

Chapter 3: What was G Lane's latest disgrace during the interview?
So he'll still drive a bus. Because how old is he? He would be... 70s? Yeah, he's in his 70s. He did tell me last night. Might be 73, 78. How was he, by the way? He's very good. He's good? He's very well. He's good? He's very well. He's in good nick. And interestingly, for my own purposes, still got all this hair.
Yeah, it's interesting. You look a lot like him. It's quite freaky.
Yeah, so that's my nan's brother. So what do you, how do you? That's a great uncle. Yeah, it's my great-uncle.
Great-uncle.
Do you look at your, you know when you're looking at whether you're going to go bald or not, is it your mum's dad or is it your? Dad on the mum's side. Oh, the dad on the mum's side.
Dad on the mum's side. So that's not, that's not, that's the other side of the family for you, isn't it?
He's no longer, yeah, that's the other side of the family. My mum's dad's no longer with us, but full head of hair when he went. And then his brother is still with us and he is 90, I think. Full head of hair. There we go. Full head of hair, chucking the broil cream through that thing. Yep. So I think we could be good there.
I reckon you're going to be good, yeah. And the same as my granddad on my mum's side, Grandpa Bill. He's just old Grandpa coming down the stairs. Oh, yeah. Don't mind me, just coming on down the stairs. I know what you're up to there with your going up and down. Old Grandpa used to do a bit of that back in the day. He ran a full head of hair and also actually not a lot of grey hair. Oh, really?
Bit of grey. Tiny bit of grey by the time he died at 89.

Chapter 4: How did the interview go with Mark Tukey and Russell Packer?
I'm welcoming it. I don't mind going grey. I've had a lot of... I mean, grey hairs stand out in black hair, so you can see mine.
You got any greys?
Yeah, I've got plenty of greys. Have you? Let's have a look. You won't be able to see it on the camera there, but... there's plenty of grades in there. Oh, I tell you what, geez, again, should have said this on the bloody radio show this morning. So we're in bed on Saturday morning and Jeff goes, stay still. oh, my God, you've got a white chest hair. You have a grey chest hair.
She's like, I'm with an old man. Oh, no. Come on. Oh, no. The flame's extinguished.
Oh, no. Oh, no. Any grey pubes? That's a telltale sign. I've got no grey pubes. Really? We don't have any. No, I'm running some pubes. Mine are light-coloured.
But the pubis, pretty dark still.
Yeah, okay. And see, again, this is where someone goes, Uncle Kingy, when I was talking about you on the podcast, you should go and listen to it.
Nah, don't. Luckily, I think he's probably not that good with technology at 70.
He's not chucking a pocket. 77, I looked it up. 77? 77, he'll be 78 this year. He told me that last month.

Chapter 5: What humorous miscommunication occurred involving G Lane?
Did he grow up in Whakatane and then move to Christchurch or was he...
He moved all over. Actually, he's got a book if you want to go and find it. It's worth a read.
Because he's a great, he's like a famous name. Like people talk about Billy Bush a lot as an all black prop. He's up there with like in the upper echelons of all black props.
Yeah, hard bastard.
People love him.
It's skipped a couple of generations. But one of my favorite things is he used to play for a team in Northland. It was just up there working, and they wrote them in to play for the team. The first five in that team, Winston Peters. Yeah, that's right. Oh, wow. Winnie Pease is... Okay. Winnie Pease has... So he's been all over the place, your great uncle. Yeah, he has. All over the place.
But settled in Christchurch. Lifetime member of the Canterbury Rugby Club down here.
So he played his provincial rugby for Canterbury, mainly?
He did, yeah.

Chapter 6: What are the details about G Lane's interaction with Willie Mason?
Unfortunately, at the time of the interview, I was through to the other room where my mum and her cousin, what's that, my uncle, auntie? They were through the next room having a roast, so I was through gas bagging with them and I missed the interview. When I came back, they were like, oh my God, G-Lane's disgraced himself.
So he was interviewing them and Mark Tukey, of course, was running a goatee. Yeah. And G-Lane addressed it as a prison vag. Okay, well, firstly, why?
Why?
And he said that into a microphone.
What though? Mark Tukey's running a prison veg.
Why would you even say that? He said it to his face as well, which I think is the craziest part of that. Mark Tukey running it up?
Jesus. Is he insane?
Also, Mark Tukey is one of the new breed of player that slims down when they retire. You know how they used to blow up? Yeah. He's smaller now that he's retired. He still works with the Warriors. Anyway, yes, he said he had a prison badge. Didn't he used to drive a Mini? Yes, he did. Famously used to drive a Mini. Doesn't drive a Mini anymore. He's got a company-issued GWM. Okay, good to know.
Don't worry, I asked him. And then, so when he accused Mark Turkey of having a prison badge. I wouldn't have done that.

Chapter 7: How does Manaia feel about his current situation after the trip?
Horrible miscommunication from everyone there. And yeah, that's about how that went. Oh, man. Then I was, later on that night, I was over-served at the bar after the game and was introduced to Willie Mason. I should not have been talking to Willie Mason in the state I was in. Oh, really? So I don't think he'll be joining us on the show anytime soon.
Well, he's a big unit. He's a big boy.
He's a scary looking bastard. Yeah.
He's tall, eh?
Yeah, he is so tall. Good looking sucker. Those professional athletes, man. Good looking sucker.
How are you feeling, Manaya? You had a late night. You had a few beverages. It weren't your fault. You got over-served. How are you feeling now, man? I just want to... Oh, it's about 10, isn't it?
How am I feeling? Well, what I'm doing as soon as we're done with this podcast is I'm going out to the airport and telling them to get me the fuck out of here. My flight's booked for a real niggly time, so I'm hoping I can move it forward. You definitely can. You definitely can. I think I should be able to. Annoyingly though, my flight is booked under Finn Caddy's name.
So that could potentially present an issue when I... Hold on.
So seriously, did you get on the last flight under Finn Caddy?

Chapter 8: What travel issues did Manaia encounter post-trip?
But you're flying during the All Whites game.
I'm flying during the All Whites game. This is awful. This is actually really bad. But I will say, I have ordered my Uber. I was just telling Jerry before off here, Uber, and this is not an ad for Uber, but they have a new function where you can enter your flight details. Oh shit, this is going to be a fuck around.
And then they will check the flight, any delays, whatever, and they'll show up when you land. And then you've got 45 minutes to get your bag and get out there and they'll wait for you. That's good.
Although I would say it is good. But I would say of all the times that you actually need to get an Uber, like there's always one that's three minutes away at the airport.
Yeah, it's actually not solved.
Like there's heaps of them waiting around. It's more than getting two.
Yeah. But it did make me feel good going to bed on Saturday night with all of my travel sorted.
Yeah.
Thanks to Uber.
