Paton kind of region around there uh for the second uh all kicks off at 2:30 dir uh shotgun start nine holes three ball Ambrose she’s a bloody good time yeah everyone dresses up uh there’s Refreshments available uh copious amounts of Refreshments I believe that helps people’s swings apart from yours M

Amazing uh Drive for the winning team helstein have presided the uh the beige jackets for the winning team uh there’s Wilson Putters Wilson uh kind of um hats and balls and all sorts so some great prizes as well as a good afternoon off because it’s full charity it’s all for
Movember as well the money uh profits raised go to movember so got a good excuse to take a Friday afternoon off uh it’s sold out in Wellington um but there is still I think about five spaces left for Christ Church and here would on Easter Friday it’s what Jesus would have
Wanted okay so if you’re uming and arring Jesus would want you to play golf on Easter Friday so text golf to 3236 if you’re down there in the Christ Church area um come and join us uh for that uh that Friday afternoon down there in Christ Church B I’m looking forward to
This afternoon I’m like to redeem myself after wind Ross if you don’t sign up to that Christ Church golf round Jesus died for nothing that’s what you’re saying that’s that’s exactly what I’m saying you want to make a mockery of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ exactly I would
Have Al to sign up to that one right now have you ever played at Shandon before I played on Shandon last year we dodged the weather last year hard it was poing with rain and like Jesus knew at 2:00 it parted we got uh the the the competition
In and at about 5:00 it came in again oh sort of the Moses effect yeah we did have a small incident there was a gentleman who decided to throw a park bench off the balcony uh at Shandon later on we’ left and they they kicked
On and he got caught on um on the security cameras and God bless him he did the double fingers to the security camera so he knew he was been watched disappointingly for him we played the security footage on the cricket coverage the next day on spark Sport and said you
Know this guy can you get him to give us the buzz because we now o shend off quite a lot of money yeah we know ow them they’ve had to go down to Bunnings and buy a new park bench uh and his wife got in touch
Yeah where were you last night and why did I see you on the ACC today throwing a park bench off a balcony and he promptly I mean look he showed face on Monday apologized paid for the bench so look I mean credit where credits due he
Didn’t have to front up but he did there go that’s up there with we threw a massive party I’ve told the story before but we threw a massive party at high school at our friends place out in the country and the next morning we woke up
And the toilet was in the driveway and it wasn’t not just the seat but the whole bowl and seat sstone was still attached to the wall and it had been removed it wasn’t broken somebody had like undone the bolts and removed the entire toilet from where it was inside
The house taken it outside and put it in the driveway must there must have been someone with plumbing skills yeah because you’re going to have to turn the water off yeah I don’t know how any of that stuff works you’re going to have to like you can’t just take the bowl and
Like cuz there’s still water coming down the system to to fill the bowl so they would have had to somehow seal off the pipes so a rogue plumber that’s be yeah well funnily you say that the the two sons went on to become plumbers so so maybe maybe that just that was their
Passion yeah ever since they removed the toilet at a massive um woolshed piss up would you do that would you do that if you like cuz if I had any sort of skills in the kind of Trades whether it be electrician Plumbing gas fitting whatever I’d be terrible on the piss at
Someone’s house I’d go and just with their bathroom and change the Taps around and remove the toilet remove the toilet like do stuff that do stuff that like how did that happen like that would have taken someone a good half an hour with the right tools to do that change
The light switches around so one of the switches turn different things on yes uh you know stuff like that just real Annoying sort of yeah um well like one of my flat mates when I lived in Timaru worked for a fertilizer company and he had access to a bunch of Ura that
We took around and we were in a bit of a flat beef with this other flat so we took it around and we just poured all over their lawn and we saw them a couple of weeks later and we said oh how’s how’s your new flat going they go
It’s good but God we’re going to mow the Lawns every second day because they’re just out of control cuz we’ve been spreading fertilizer on them that’s like that’s like a practical joke but not can you come over and dump your ear on my like it was way too much though it was
Just out of control right we we had another flat beef when I was living in zedan we got into a fight with another flat and I woke up one night hung over I think I’ve told the story before but I said my room smells and I got a
Bunch of to come into my room smell that they’re like ah your room always smells nah there’s something going on here so that night I was lying in bed I was like I’ve got to have a look I have a look under the bed and there was a sack of De
Breasted Ducks underneath my bed blood soaked through the base of my bed soaked through the floor and yeah that smell never came out is a certain ducks have a certain smell too and that’s why you would have known that’s not Pond meat yeah yeah it is it’s birds in general I
Don’t know how we got that far away from the ACC golf open but there we are uh the weather looks like it is going to be overcast there’s no rain forecast uh for today which is good that’s good um but it is Wellington so I haven’t even
Checked the wind forecast I’m just going to assume it’s going to be bloody windy yeah well well maybe we should ask we’re going to talk to Michael brace a bit later on maybe we should ask him he’s uh I think he’s on the golf course in Wellington already I mean hey this is
Proof that um we that cricket players professional cricket players are actually professional golf players who every now and then have to stop playing golf to play cricket yeah is because we’ve uh talked to Michael Braswell who if you didn’t see took 8 for 41 in the
Plunet shield the other day he then went on to hit a hole in one yesterday so I really want to talk I want to talk to him about a few things around that yes um and but also yeah maybe a bit of a pitch report how’s it playing out there
What do we what do we need to know the ACC Golf Open is great because and I think this is one of the great things about golf in general is it’s never been about the golf it’s not about how well you play and as you always say if you’ve
Won an AM tournament you’ve cheated correct so that’s why it’s tradition it always C opens when the winners come up everyone booze yeah for the first three or four seconds and then cheers yes so it’s it’s a it’s a win and a loss so it’s the boo yeah okay you won yeah um
And I love the format as well it’s only nine holes that’s about as much as you can get through everyone you have to take two drives from everyone we’ve got the golf Genius app which is super easy to use uh you got a live leaderboard you
Can see which was shut off after seven holes just say leave a little a little bit of mystery in the prize giving yeah it’s a good time and look and you can fill your boots with the export Ultra and lasagna Toppers and Southern Fried Chicken Toppers so what’s there not to
Like yeah uh the long drive competition the closest to the pin competition spin the wheel spin the wheel for what club you have to use on one of the holes as well it’s such a good time um so like we said before get involved in that chist
Chch one but uh after the chist chitch one that’s us for 2024 how do we how do we make it bigger how do we how do we make it more do do we take it on the road we talked about going small that’s
Right I want to go to I want to go to small town I hear that teow Golf Club got in touch and said they’ welcome us stuff like that I’d like to do that I’d like like hunterville uh golf club I’d love to do patoo all the ones I drive
Past when I hit High State Highway 1 and I go past and it’s like $10 $10 rounds Thursdays and stuff like that but they look like mint courses well the one in uh F in South Canterbury they’ve got this giant billboard on the side of the main Highway if you’re driving into the
Fely Bak house and the signs says 18 holes exclamation mark as if that’s a selling point like our Golf Course have you heard out in Philly they got 18 18 they got 18 H 12 if they want to be at the Forefront no no I want to go small
Town maybe I mean but it’s it’s a little bit difficult in more Logistics really uh for us but that’s that’s our issue not uh anyone else’s but let us know where you think we should bring the ACC open uh we bring bring the Cavalry bring the export Ultras bring the lasagna
Toppers uh and we’ll hit your town but uh I’m I’m Keen as to get outside of the uh metros yeah get outside of the oans and the wellingtons and the Christ churches yeah 100% I completely agree um so yeah let us know get involved get
Maybe DM us maybe send us a smoke signal fire off a fact I don’t know I know jump in on The Talk Back jump in on the talk back let us know um have a talk to your Club president it’ll be they’ll probably hate it but you never know from
Experience they would probably hate it they hate it but you never know all right time for a quick break and then we’ll be back to talk some actual sport super rugby kicks off uh tonight there’s plenty of matchups we’re going to focus on the New Zealand ones though
Today uh Chiefs vers Landers this has to be pretty one-sided doesn’t it it’s got to be all chiefs yeah I think so I no no ALB he’s out with the hi uh Return of the N though yes uh that’s going to be that’s going to be good for the Chiefs
Um yeah look I think there’s the Hurricanes isn’t the Hurricanes Rebels tonight as well I think the Hurricanes will hump the rebels I don’t think it’s even worth talking about that one no the Hurrican rested almost everyone yeah uh and then obviously your Chiefs Highlanders in Hamilton FML let me give
You a stat yeah the Highlanders have not beaten a New Zealand Super Rugby team since April 2021 what they have lost their last 17 kiwi Derby’s including their first game in 2024 against the blows yeah they haven’t got the old huon either they haven’t got the kind of uh
Jon o Pryor on steroids they do have I would say two of the better players in Super Rugby so far this year and Jacob ratuki napkins yes the napkin yeah and Billy Harmon I reckon has been on a tier as well and they got t
Na and uh yeah so I mean yeah outside backs good but but look at the outside backs of the Chiefs uh you know no slates no you got shoter Stevenson you got the Narwhal yeah uh so you got um it’s the left wing nuro yeah so look
Yeah the Chiefs will the Chiefs will take that out Chiefs will blow the way and then we’ve got the blues versus the Crusaders on Saturday uh the first win of the season for the Crusaders I’ve done a bit of research into this off the back of us talking about uh Offa fasy
Practicing Ramadan this week the game kicks off at 705 p.m. Sunset will be at 7:28 so he will have to play 23 minutes before he’s allowed to have a super water oh offer t a FY how how do you play it if you offer do you think you
Will you have something to eat as well like you Chuck Chuck a protein bar down your throat what you do I’d go full bloody roast pork or something just just have like a full maybe a full English yeah full English yeah minus the bacon oh yes of course yeah yeah just the
Mushrooms and the beans and the toast yeah and uh yeah have that right at around the 728 as soon as that sun goes down was he on the bench is he on the bench or is he starting I that that I haven’t checked into um but maybe he’s
On the bench and he comes in 30 minutes into the game with a full with a belly full of roast ready for a sleep yeah and crook cut so I reckon Target the front row early is my is my idea and then have someone down there check in if
He’s um you know if he’s tucked into the roast or if he’s tucked into the full English um and then you can you can Target him unfortunately for the crad to BL to EV Chon is back from a broken uh jaw jaw and yani’s in as well who would
Be a real shame if the blues were to lose to the lowly Crusaders wouldn’t it I am actually backing Crusaders I think they’re going to snap they they’re like we mentioned the other day that’s their bogey team oh God first Christopher luxon then Ricky Stewart and now
You well I’ve gone when does it end for the Crusaders I’ve gone I’ve gone for this multi you’re not going to you you’ll enjoy this MTI so I’ve gone hurricanes to beat Rebels this is the this is the agenda multi what’s that paying a1016 uh brumes to beat Moana at 122 now
I’ve gone for warar to beat the Dr uh the Dr favorites b a pay 240 uh where is it it is in it’s in Fiji yeah I don’t know I don’t but back the waras I don’t know why I got a feeling Chiefs over Highlanders Crusaders over Blues paying 310 oh for
The win uh and the Reds over the force which is 125 now that is paying 15 bucks oh I don’t mind that so some good like anchors in there at your do 16s do2s and then it’s that war Crusaders it’s those two matches there that um which I think
They’re not they’re not bad teams I really feel like you’re spinning it quite wide with the warar to beat the drawer in FG yeah I do it makes me nervous it’s hard to beat the the drawer they’ve got the best one best home field advantage in the league yeah I know they
Grow the grass out long because they’re all 7 feet tall and can run like gazel so now you Trot out some met Dunning looking block for the waras like I was trying to put some meat on the bones of my MTI yeah that’s why otherwise it’s a
Bit missionary Bo the odds up I know what you mean but like some of these Ford packs that get trotted out it would be the great level if South Africa would have come back into Super Rugby to force them to go play in Fiji that’d be like
On the savanas of of um what do they play laa yeah it’s like if you’re what what’s that man kits off what the grass is taller than he is you know we man He-Man comes out we man he-man’s going to really struggle over he’s going to
Have to like his box kicks out of the out of the rough it’s just going to be full noise so um yeah I don’t know they make me nervous but now that we’ve said that if you pull that out they will lose fij yeah there you go well we’ll talk
About it on Monday then this is pting isn’t it yeah we’ll have to recheck uh so a good slate of Rugby Union across the weekend uh forgive me I don’t have it in front of me what games are we covering uh we are covering the Hurricanes Rebels tonight 7 o’ that is
Going to be um I believe Matt Ward and James McCone yes and that same combo will be doing the Crusaders Blues Saturday night 7:00 on skysport 9 and iHeart Radio absolutely delightful uh we’ve got a little little bit of a studio clash as well Studio B is going
To have to come into to play tonight because the Warriors are playing the Raiders live in Christ Church from 8:00 pm D Henwood and Ben Boyce will be in the export Beer Garden studios and the Warriors beat them twice last year the Raiders y uh they smacked them on Jared
Kroer 300 you remember this I remember it very vividly because they rested Jared kroer the week before for their away game so that he could have his 300 that home and we went over there and smack them I do remember spoiling that party it felt so good then the next time
We played them was back here and they just about beat us right on the hooa so that was a bit that’s right and CU they didn’t his dad blow the horn blow the Viking horn yes you know uh Viking horn anyway they’ll have guys up there who are like 90 years old and
You’re telling me that he’s blowing this 30t horn I like it I like I like it’s a bit of theater it looks cool but stop pretending that he’s blowing the horn you know what are we doing or actually have the horn you know either or um that
Is on Sky Sports 7 by the way okay uh that coverage um usually on when there’s a clash it usually on Sky Sports 6 but it’s on seven tonight so that’s 57 on your box or seven on your on your app yeah uh every news Outlet in the country
Over the last couple of days has been punishing Roger to ver a shik asking him if he’s going to play fullback he’s not no Lane to Pi there Lane to a pi there so just just leave him alone and i’ we’ve got a few punts on that game as
Well uh one uh the game day good punt that we’ve chucked on there is Marcelo Montoya to score a try uh in the first 20 minutes oh uh so I’m saying they’re going to switch up the from the right to the left just to throw it out there
That’s paying seven bucks okay so uh that’s anytime TR score in the first uh 20 minutes y uh and then I believe the Mad Monday guys have got uh Warriors win by 1 to 121 to 12 $280 y it’s not it’s not bad eating either yeah if they’re
Going to win I don’t think they’re going to blow them out off the park but I do really think they’re going to win this game down there in Christ Church the cantabrians go crazy for their one League game that they get a year uh so
That’s going to be huge for them um yeah I’m looking forward to seeing that RTS isn’t going back to fullback stop asking him he’s he’s playing well where he is yeah he actually he’s actually more involved in the play where he is I believe anyway and also it’s like what
Are you going to do send him back there for like one week and then Chan is back next week and now he’s back into Center so what was the point of that that’s that’s the main thing yeah it’s like he’s trying to figure out he’s trying to
Learn how to play center so just leave him at Center it makes no sense uh so today we are in Wellington we tomorrow we’re in Christ Church yeah we are doing more damage to the ozone layer than Taylor Swift this weekend um but when we get down there we will be covering the
SGP live from Littleton so follow along on all the socials be a bunch of videos coming out we’re going to be talking to the drivers talking to the teams the crews checking the whole thing out 14,000 people are going to be there yeah I’m looking for there still tickets
Available apparently few few tickets yeah yeah and I think we’re going to give some away on social as well so check out our socials if you want to come and join us I think hk’s got a bar set up down there yeah itm uh they obviously sponsor the whole event
They’ve got a massive Pavilion setup so we’re going to do the podcast from the itm setup on the Saturday and then we’ll flick over to the Hunkin setup on the Sunday but we’ll be walking around uh kind of giving you insight into the sale GP I’m looking for I am really looking
Forward to it like it’s I they like the V8 start for me I love the all going over all like 10 12 boats whatever is coming over the start line at once headed for one marker yeah there’s always going to be Carnage it’s like the
First corner of Formula 1 it is a great way to start yeah you’re right because there’s drama before they even cross the line there’s already like a bit of jiggery pokery gone before they before they even start the race which a great way to start and Phil Robinson who won it in
Last year kiwi in charge of the Canadian boat uh he’s always good value so we hopefully try and get him on as well he’s a good man Jesse ch’s going to be down there he’s hopping the crowd up down there so hopefully we’ll caller him
To get on the podcast as well help us explain the actual course he was great on the America’s Cup when he was out there just getting absolutely drenched but then wasn’t there I I have a memory of there being ENC capsized and he had
To sit there and pad for like an hour or something remember this but he had to pad on um rich people’s boats basically the the broadcast boat would go around and just drop them off on gin palaces and high risk because those gin palaces people are it’s either snowing
Inside or they’re wasted on champagne and like and people start talking like this and you can see gets on and he talks to the first person goes I need to get off here oh dear um yeah so I’m I’m interested to say oh I wonder if there’s going to be
Some sort of super yacht floella situation out there no no this this is not this is what the sale GP is about you can watch everything from Land yeah so you head down the village and you can watch it all from Shore this is the the
Kind of big difference with s GP as opposed to America’s C America’s Cup you got to have access to a pretty significant boat even anywhere near it with sale GP it’s all raced uh pretty close to shore uh Inland and harbors so you can you get viewing points from
Everywhere there’s a big Village which is a bit more egalitarian than your usual America’s Cup so that’s why I’m looking forward to it and like I was saying the other day voted the by all the drivers as the best leg of SGP well I’m looking forward to it as well we’ve
Also got some money on the line because of course we do yeah a t game day good punter you put this one on what is it I just this is a Vibe punt this is a total Vibe Punt and that is New Zealand winning race one uh of on the Saturday
Afternoon uh there was three races and then there’s a final race so yeah I’ve got money on Home Harbor Advantage Home Harbor Advantage uh you know Berling and Chuka back behind the wheel um so yeah that was that’s paying four bucks for New Zealand to win that first race which
I think Prett pretty good eating you see them the coming second on the table behind Aussies Denmark are third interestingly um so look they’re up there so paying four bucks when you’re coming second in the competition is I thought it’s pretty good eating but it’s
Money for jamp um so yeah we’ll be down there tomorrow and Sunday so come down and say day like I said I think there’s still some tickets left so come along check it out yeah should be good I’ve never been to one of these events so I’m
I’m pretty excited neither to go and check it all out yeah um just quickly before we’re going to take a break and get to our dear friend Michael bracewell on the show today uh I wanted to mop up one of the headlines that came across my desk yesterday and it’s a staggering
Renov uh Revelation you know Smith and Smith the glass company yes Auto Glass yeah Smith and Smith repair Smith and Smith rep I sort of have always thought of them as a very kiwi company yeah they are not they are own as you said autog glass is like a global conglomerate and
So there’s Smith and Smith in every different country and they all have a different name in different countries but they all have the same jingle and so I’ve compiled a mega mix of all of the Jingles from Smith and Smith from around the world oh God have a listen to
Thisi Auto auto replace funky sa safe replace [Applause] douch at the end I was thinking that it was like what’s up with there must have been a phase where autog glass had a jingle off cuz you obviously got show us your crack yeah show us your crack apparently written by Ben Boyce yes and
Yeah and uh show us your crack novice fil noice wind screens fill your cracks and yeah yeah show us your crack find your vision Laing nervous one screen F your crack and show us your crack and then then the Smith then Smith repairs it’s like the the industry of jingle
Offs and then there’s Orland glass they just do glass I don’t think they do autog glass do they oh I don’t know but uh they only do it in Orland I don’t know anyway that blew my mind because I just thought that was such a New Zealand thing well they obviously
They fooled you with the New Zealand only jingle didn’t they yeah and they’re they’re fooling people around the world there’s some funky numbers in there though I must admit it makes the New Zealand one it’s like the New Zealand national anthem I’m always disappointed in the in the Tempo in the general droll
Of the New Zealand anthem when you compare it to your ital’s your your Argentinas yeah gree’s one has 42 verses France uh England even with God Save the King Canada yeah and that’s I think we got the same vibe in our Smith and Smith it’s the of jungles yeah I’ve
SE I’ve said this before but when we had the flag referendum I said we weren’t going far enough and we should have had a Anthem referendum yeah I agree and we should have changed it to scribe seminal work not many because could you imagine
If it was like so how does it go how does it start okay so ladies and Gentlemen please be upstanding for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir national anthem of New Zealand how many dudes you know roll like this how many dudes you know flow like this not many if any and could you imagine being like Estonia coming up against that or like Sophie Pesco wins another gold medal not a dry eye in the pool everyone’s crying and
Then I think I think it’s it’s I see what you mean it might be the an official it’s bit too quick why is it though because we it could be whatever we want it to be how many do like this not many if any be hard not to if you’re
Standing in the anthem to start doing this start bobbing up and down and start either that or uh duchies Shape Shifter oh yeah ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Boral primary school with the national anthem of New Zealand hold on hold it on that would get people
Going they would be quite good not L and also not not too many lyrics hold it deep inside welcome to the ride or you could just go you could go Bliss oh yeah cuz that would get yeah but may have to change the words a little bit but forget about the last one
Grab yourself another forget about the last country grab yourself another last middle I don’t know but yeah I just think that we need to we need to switch it up to something maybe sing yourself more bliss you could just change the words a little bit everyone knows it
Yeah and it’s a good crowd pleaser I’m stuck in with Duty Shape Shifter actually I’ve decided uh all right enough absolute dribble a man in this country took eight wickets for 41 runs the very next day he hadit a hole in one so we’re going to take a quick break and
Then we’re going to be right back with that man Michael bracewell I Wellington beat otaro the other day laying in the plunket shield and uh one of the greatest figures that you’ll see in a domestic cricket match 8 for 41 Michael bracewell the very next day walks out on the golf course and
Hits a hole in one we had to talk to him we’ve got him on the line right now he is somewhere in the trees on the 18th hole of the golf course again today he joins us now Michael how you going man good morning guys how are we good mate
Good luck to talk us talk us through it like is that potentially the two greatest days of your life yeah well I I can’t say that too loudly I I had a son but um yeah it’s got to be it’s got to be right up there he as a real pinch me
Sort of couple of days and um yeah sitting in the in the club rooms after the H one I sort of had a couple of beers and reflected on it and yeah it was definitely right up there walk us through the hole in one what describe
The hole that you were on the shot what you were trying to do and how it played out yeah so um we had one one to 124 m to the pin little little bit of wind behind me um been hand yeah and I was I was the
First to tee offer in our in our group so yeah managed to get it sort of two bounces a little bit of spin left and and straight in the hole so it was it was one of those ones that I didn’t want to celebrate too early cuz you know what
It’s like sometimes you get them quite close and then you get up there and the ball’s still sitting on the ground and you’re like oh no what a pork chop and it’s not in but yeah we got up there and and um yeah it’s F good to see
On the bottom of the cup oh nice um did it did usually things happen in threes uh Michael because a former New Zealand uh cricket coach U told a great story once where he was playing in England and he scored a sentury got a hole in one
And had a threesome all in one weekend uh so um I mean look I’m not suggesting you maybe uh head out tonight and look for recent just had a son uh but potentially you’re back on the golf course now uh look um you know the
Chances of G again yeah well to be fair the um the 100 draft was this morning and I missed out on that so that’s a real real heat check brings you back down to earth and I guess I guess those things it’s it’s that’s one of those
Things you you sort of um I don’t know we got this punet Shield final coming up and maybe that’s the third thing is is getting to uh lift that up with the boys on on on Wednesday that would be that would be pretty good pretty good couple
Of weeks to be fair absolutely if yeah knock up a hundy get a Fifer that’ be a pretty solid week uh week’s work wouldn’t it yeah I don’t I don’t think unbelievable yeah back to the 8 for 41 um I see that that is the best figures by any bracewell has that been
Brought up in any family chats has that been mentioned to anyone yeah um no my dad rang John the other day to tell him about the the in one and he was like of course he did um just after knocking him off the top figures of the family but um
Yeah know um it it is pretty special obviously a pretty proud family history of playing so yeah definely not something that you think about but um to reflect on and look back at some of John’s figures in particular I think he had a seven for n there as well on that list
Soers to go to to get he was but um yeah nice nice to be in and around this game as well yeah watch out for Mel brace well I believe she’s been practicing in the Nets as well so she might be she might be a
Threat yeah hey we we can hear you out on the pitch right now out on the course so we won’t take up too much of your time but um how how you going so far today what hole are you on and what sort of numbers are we looking at I’m on the
11th at the moment and I was about three over through the through the front line so who knows could be could be a TV round here as well very respectable all right we won’t take up any more of your time thanks very much mate and uh I look
Forward to hearing about what the third good thing is that happens to you I’ll let you guys know thanks cheers Che Mich you guys thanks very much Michael brasswell for joining us um it’s a hell of a week like we said good things all coming Threes And as you described in
That story you shared yeah um do you think the third one could be a thre yeah well Le’s hoping thoughts and prayers to Michael bracewell he’s just had a small child is obviously in a city relationship so maybe the th might be off the cards but um or not maybe just
Depends I don’t know what goes on in Wellington these days I don’t think a plunet shield final win is that big of a you know it needs to be a life moment does because every year someone wins The plunet Shield like Lotto oh yeah maybe he wins
Uh yeah there’s really only one outcome that’s really sticking out to me so a If someone knows Michael brell he’s never going to admit to it but uh let us know let us know how that plays on cuz we to keep tabs on there all right we need to

Paton kind of region around there uh for the second uh all kicks off at 2:30 dir uh shotgun start nine holes three ball Ambrose she’s a bloody good time yeah everyone dresses up uh there’s Refreshments available uh copious amounts of Refreshments I believe that helps people’s swings apart from yours M

Movember as well the money uh profits raised go to movember so got a good excuse to take a Friday afternoon off uh it’s sold out in Wellington um but there is still I think about five spaces left for Christ Church and here would on Easter Friday it’s what Jesus would have
Wanted okay so if you’re uming and arring Jesus would want you to play golf on Easter Friday so text golf to 3236 if you’re down there in the Christ Church area um come and join us uh for that uh that Friday afternoon down there in Christ Church B I’m looking forward to
This afternoon I’m like to redeem myself after wind Ross if you don’t sign up to that Christ Church golf round Jesus died for nothing that’s what you’re saying that’s that’s exactly what I’m saying you want to make a mockery of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ exactly I would
Have Al to sign up to that one right now have you ever played at Shandon before I played on Shandon last year we dodged the weather last year hard it was poing with rain and like Jesus knew at 2:00 it parted we got uh the the the competition
In and at about 5:00 it came in again oh sort of the Moses effect yeah we did have a small incident there was a gentleman who decided to throw a park bench off the balcony uh at Shandon later on we’ left and they they kicked
On and he got caught on um on the security cameras and God bless him he did the double fingers to the security camera so he knew he was been watched disappointingly for him we played the security footage on the cricket coverage the next day on spark Sport and said you
Know this guy can you get him to give us the buzz because we now o shend off quite a lot of money yeah we know ow them they’ve had to go down to Bunnings and buy a new park bench uh and his wife got in touch
Yeah where were you last night and why did I see you on the ACC today throwing a park bench off a balcony and he promptly I mean look he showed face on Monday apologized paid for the bench so look I mean credit where credits due he
Didn’t have to front up but he did there go that’s up there with we threw a massive party I’ve told the story before but we threw a massive party at high school at our friends place out in the country and the next morning we woke up
And the toilet was in the driveway and it wasn’t not just the seat but the whole bowl and seat sstone was still attached to the wall and it had been removed it wasn’t broken somebody had like undone the bolts and removed the entire toilet from where it was inside
The house taken it outside and put it in the driveway must there must have been someone with plumbing skills yeah because you’re going to have to turn the water off yeah I don’t know how any of that stuff works you’re going to have to like you can’t just take the bowl and
Like cuz there’s still water coming down the system to to fill the bowl so they would have had to somehow seal off the pipes so a rogue plumber that’s be yeah well funnily you say that the the two sons went on to become plumbers so so maybe maybe that just that was their
Passion yeah ever since they removed the toilet at a massive um woolshed piss up would you do that would you do that if you like cuz if I had any sort of skills in the kind of Trades whether it be electrician Plumbing gas fitting whatever I’d be terrible on the piss at
Someone’s house I’d go and just with their bathroom and change the Taps around and remove the toilet remove the toilet like do stuff that do stuff that like how did that happen like that would have taken someone a good half an hour with the right tools to do that change
The light switches around so one of the switches turn different things on yes uh you know stuff like that just real Annoying sort of yeah um well like one of my flat mates when I lived in Timaru worked for a fertilizer company and he had access to a bunch of Ura that
We took around and we were in a bit of a flat beef with this other flat so we took it around and we just poured all over their lawn and we saw them a couple of weeks later and we said oh how’s how’s your new flat going they go
It’s good but God we’re going to mow the Lawns every second day because they’re just out of control cuz we’ve been spreading fertilizer on them that’s like that’s like a practical joke but not can you come over and dump your ear on my like it was way too much though it was
Just out of control right we we had another flat beef when I was living in zedan we got into a fight with another flat and I woke up one night hung over I think I’ve told the story before but I said my room smells and I got a
Bunch of to come into my room smell that they’re like ah your room always smells nah there’s something going on here so that night I was lying in bed I was like I’ve got to have a look I have a look under the bed and there was a sack of De
Breasted Ducks underneath my bed blood soaked through the base of my bed soaked through the floor and yeah that smell never came out is a certain ducks have a certain smell too and that’s why you would have known that’s not Pond meat yeah yeah it is it’s birds in general I
Don’t know how we got that far away from the ACC golf open but there we are uh the weather looks like it is going to be overcast there’s no rain forecast uh for today which is good that’s good um but it is Wellington so I haven’t even
Checked the wind forecast I’m just going to assume it’s going to be bloody windy yeah well well maybe we should ask we’re going to talk to Michael brace a bit later on maybe we should ask him he’s uh I think he’s on the golf course in Wellington already I mean hey this is
Proof that um we that cricket players professional cricket players are actually professional golf players who every now and then have to stop playing golf to play cricket yeah is because we’ve uh talked to Michael Braswell who if you didn’t see took 8 for 41 in the
Plunet shield the other day he then went on to hit a hole in one yesterday so I really want to talk I want to talk to him about a few things around that yes um and but also yeah maybe a bit of a pitch report how’s it playing out there
What do we what do we need to know the ACC Golf Open is great because and I think this is one of the great things about golf in general is it’s never been about the golf it’s not about how well you play and as you always say if you’ve
Won an AM tournament you’ve cheated correct so that’s why it’s tradition it always C opens when the winners come up everyone booze yeah for the first three or four seconds and then cheers yes so it’s it’s a it’s a win and a loss so it’s the boo yeah okay you won yeah um
And I love the format as well it’s only nine holes that’s about as much as you can get through everyone you have to take two drives from everyone we’ve got the golf Genius app which is super easy to use uh you got a live leaderboard you
Can see which was shut off after seven holes just say leave a little a little bit of mystery in the prize giving yeah it’s a good time and look and you can fill your boots with the export Ultra and lasagna Toppers and Southern Fried Chicken Toppers so what’s there not to
Like yeah uh the long drive competition the closest to the pin competition spin the wheel spin the wheel for what club you have to use on one of the holes as well it’s such a good time um so like we said before get involved in that chist
Chch one but uh after the chist chitch one that’s us for 2024 how do we how do we make it bigger how do we how do we make it more do do we take it on the road we talked about going small that’s
Right I want to go to I want to go to small town I hear that teow Golf Club got in touch and said they’ welcome us stuff like that I’d like to do that I’d like like hunterville uh golf club I’d love to do patoo all the ones I drive
Past when I hit High State Highway 1 and I go past and it’s like $10 $10 rounds Thursdays and stuff like that but they look like mint courses well the one in uh F in South Canterbury they’ve got this giant billboard on the side of the main Highway if you’re driving into the
Fely Bak house and the signs says 18 holes exclamation mark as if that’s a selling point like our Golf Course have you heard out in Philly they got 18 18 they got 18 H 12 if they want to be at the Forefront no no I want to go small
Town maybe I mean but it’s it’s a little bit difficult in more Logistics really uh for us but that’s that’s our issue not uh anyone else’s but let us know where you think we should bring the ACC open uh we bring bring the Cavalry bring the export Ultras bring the lasagna
Toppers uh and we’ll hit your town but uh I’m I’m Keen as to get outside of the uh metros yeah get outside of the oans and the wellingtons and the Christ churches yeah 100% I completely agree um so yeah let us know get involved get
Maybe DM us maybe send us a smoke signal fire off a fact I don’t know I know jump in on The Talk Back jump in on the talk back let us know um have a talk to your Club president it’ll be they’ll probably hate it but you never know from
Experience they would probably hate it they hate it but you never know all right time for a quick break and then we’ll be back to talk some actual sport super rugby kicks off uh tonight there’s plenty of matchups we’re going to focus on the New Zealand ones though
Today uh Chiefs vers Landers this has to be pretty one-sided doesn’t it it’s got to be all chiefs yeah I think so I no no ALB he’s out with the hi uh Return of the N though yes uh that’s going to be that’s going to be good for the Chiefs
Um yeah look I think there’s the Hurricanes isn’t the Hurricanes Rebels tonight as well I think the Hurricanes will hump the rebels I don’t think it’s even worth talking about that one no the Hurrican rested almost everyone yeah uh and then obviously your Chiefs Highlanders in Hamilton FML let me give
You a stat yeah the Highlanders have not beaten a New Zealand Super Rugby team since April 2021 what they have lost their last 17 kiwi Derby’s including their first game in 2024 against the blows yeah they haven’t got the old huon either they haven’t got the kind of uh
Jon o Pryor on steroids they do have I would say two of the better players in Super Rugby so far this year and Jacob ratuki napkins yes the napkin yeah and Billy Harmon I reckon has been on a tier as well and they got t
Na and uh yeah so I mean yeah outside backs good but but look at the outside backs of the Chiefs uh you know no slates no you got shoter Stevenson you got the Narwhal yeah uh so you got um it’s the left wing nuro yeah so look
Yeah the Chiefs will the Chiefs will take that out Chiefs will blow the way and then we’ve got the blues versus the Crusaders on Saturday uh the first win of the season for the Crusaders I’ve done a bit of research into this off the back of us talking about uh Offa fasy
Practicing Ramadan this week the game kicks off at 705 p.m. Sunset will be at 7:28 so he will have to play 23 minutes before he’s allowed to have a super water oh offer t a FY how how do you play it if you offer do you think you
Will you have something to eat as well like you Chuck Chuck a protein bar down your throat what you do I’d go full bloody roast pork or something just just have like a full maybe a full English yeah full English yeah minus the bacon oh yes of course yeah yeah just the
Mushrooms and the beans and the toast yeah and uh yeah have that right at around the 728 as soon as that sun goes down was he on the bench is he on the bench or is he starting I that that I haven’t checked into um but maybe he’s
On the bench and he comes in 30 minutes into the game with a full with a belly full of roast ready for a sleep yeah and crook cut so I reckon Target the front row early is my is my idea and then have someone down there check in if
He’s um you know if he’s tucked into the roast or if he’s tucked into the full English um and then you can you can Target him unfortunately for the crad to BL to EV Chon is back from a broken uh jaw jaw and yani’s in as well who would
Be a real shame if the blues were to lose to the lowly Crusaders wouldn’t it I am actually backing Crusaders I think they’re going to snap they they’re like we mentioned the other day that’s their bogey team oh God first Christopher luxon then Ricky Stewart and now
You well I’ve gone when does it end for the Crusaders I’ve gone I’ve gone for this multi you’re not going to you you’ll enjoy this MTI so I’ve gone hurricanes to beat Rebels this is the this is the agenda multi what’s that paying a1016 uh brumes to beat Moana at 122 now
I’ve gone for warar to beat the Dr uh the Dr favorites b a pay 240 uh where is it it is in it’s in Fiji yeah I don’t know I don’t but back the waras I don’t know why I got a feeling Chiefs over Highlanders Crusaders over Blues paying 310 oh for
The win uh and the Reds over the force which is 125 now that is paying 15 bucks oh I don’t mind that so some good like anchors in there at your do 16s do2s and then it’s that war Crusaders it’s those two matches there that um which I think
They’re not they’re not bad teams I really feel like you’re spinning it quite wide with the warar to beat the drawer in FG yeah I do it makes me nervous it’s hard to beat the the drawer they’ve got the best one best home field advantage in the league yeah I know they
Grow the grass out long because they’re all 7 feet tall and can run like gazel so now you Trot out some met Dunning looking block for the waras like I was trying to put some meat on the bones of my MTI yeah that’s why otherwise it’s a
Bit missionary Bo the odds up I know what you mean but like some of these Ford packs that get trotted out it would be the great level if South Africa would have come back into Super Rugby to force them to go play in Fiji that’d be like
On the savanas of of um what do they play laa yeah it’s like if you’re what what’s that man kits off what the grass is taller than he is you know we man He-Man comes out we man he-man’s going to really struggle over he’s going to
Have to like his box kicks out of the out of the rough it’s just going to be full noise so um yeah I don’t know they make me nervous but now that we’ve said that if you pull that out they will lose fij yeah there you go well we’ll talk
About it on Monday then this is pting isn’t it yeah we’ll have to recheck uh so a good slate of Rugby Union across the weekend uh forgive me I don’t have it in front of me what games are we covering uh we are covering the Hurricanes Rebels tonight 7 o’ that is
Going to be um I believe Matt Ward and James McCone yes and that same combo will be doing the Crusaders Blues Saturday night 7:00 on skysport 9 and iHeart Radio absolutely delightful uh we’ve got a little little bit of a studio clash as well Studio B is going
To have to come into to play tonight because the Warriors are playing the Raiders live in Christ Church from 8:00 pm D Henwood and Ben Boyce will be in the export Beer Garden studios and the Warriors beat them twice last year the Raiders y uh they smacked them on Jared
Kroer 300 you remember this I remember it very vividly because they rested Jared kroer the week before for their away game so that he could have his 300 that home and we went over there and smack them I do remember spoiling that party it felt so good then the next time
We played them was back here and they just about beat us right on the hooa so that was a bit that’s right and CU they didn’t his dad blow the horn blow the Viking horn yes you know uh Viking horn anyway they’ll have guys up there who are like 90 years old and
You’re telling me that he’s blowing this 30t horn I like it I like I like it’s a bit of theater it looks cool but stop pretending that he’s blowing the horn you know what are we doing or actually have the horn you know either or um that
Is on Sky Sports 7 by the way okay uh that coverage um usually on when there’s a clash it usually on Sky Sports 6 but it’s on seven tonight so that’s 57 on your box or seven on your on your app yeah uh every news Outlet in the country
Over the last couple of days has been punishing Roger to ver a shik asking him if he’s going to play fullback he’s not no Lane to Pi there Lane to a pi there so just just leave him alone and i’ we’ve got a few punts on that game as
Well uh one uh the game day good punt that we’ve chucked on there is Marcelo Montoya to score a try uh in the first 20 minutes oh uh so I’m saying they’re going to switch up the from the right to the left just to throw it out there
That’s paying seven bucks okay so uh that’s anytime TR score in the first uh 20 minutes y uh and then I believe the Mad Monday guys have got uh Warriors win by 1 to 121 to 12 $280 y it’s not it’s not bad eating either yeah if they’re
Going to win I don’t think they’re going to blow them out off the park but I do really think they’re going to win this game down there in Christ Church the cantabrians go crazy for their one League game that they get a year uh so
That’s going to be huge for them um yeah I’m looking forward to seeing that RTS isn’t going back to fullback stop asking him he’s he’s playing well where he is yeah he actually he’s actually more involved in the play where he is I believe anyway and also it’s like what
Are you going to do send him back there for like one week and then Chan is back next week and now he’s back into Center so what was the point of that that’s that’s the main thing yeah it’s like he’s trying to figure out he’s trying to
Learn how to play center so just leave him at Center it makes no sense uh so today we are in Wellington we tomorrow we’re in Christ Church yeah we are doing more damage to the ozone layer than Taylor Swift this weekend um but when we get down there we will be covering the
SGP live from Littleton so follow along on all the socials be a bunch of videos coming out we’re going to be talking to the drivers talking to the teams the crews checking the whole thing out 14,000 people are going to be there yeah I’m looking for there still tickets
Available apparently few few tickets yeah yeah and I think we’re going to give some away on social as well so check out our socials if you want to come and join us I think hk’s got a bar set up down there yeah itm uh they obviously sponsor the whole event
They’ve got a massive Pavilion setup so we’re going to do the podcast from the itm setup on the Saturday and then we’ll flick over to the Hunkin setup on the Sunday but we’ll be walking around uh kind of giving you insight into the sale GP I’m looking for I am really looking
Forward to it like it’s I they like the V8 start for me I love the all going over all like 10 12 boats whatever is coming over the start line at once headed for one marker yeah there’s always going to be Carnage it’s like the
First corner of Formula 1 it is a great way to start yeah you’re right because there’s drama before they even cross the line there’s already like a bit of jiggery pokery gone before they before they even start the race which a great way to start and Phil Robinson who won it in
Last year kiwi in charge of the Canadian boat uh he’s always good value so we hopefully try and get him on as well he’s a good man Jesse ch’s going to be down there he’s hopping the crowd up down there so hopefully we’ll caller him
To get on the podcast as well help us explain the actual course he was great on the America’s Cup when he was out there just getting absolutely drenched but then wasn’t there I I have a memory of there being ENC capsized and he had
To sit there and pad for like an hour or something remember this but he had to pad on um rich people’s boats basically the the broadcast boat would go around and just drop them off on gin palaces and high risk because those gin palaces people are it’s either snowing
Inside or they’re wasted on champagne and like and people start talking like this and you can see gets on and he talks to the first person goes I need to get off here oh dear um yeah so I’m I’m interested to say oh I wonder if there’s going to be
Some sort of super yacht floella situation out there no no this this is not this is what the sale GP is about you can watch everything from Land yeah so you head down the village and you can watch it all from Shore this is the the
Kind of big difference with s GP as opposed to America’s C America’s Cup you got to have access to a pretty significant boat even anywhere near it with sale GP it’s all raced uh pretty close to shore uh Inland and harbors so you can you get viewing points from
Everywhere there’s a big Village which is a bit more egalitarian than your usual America’s Cup so that’s why I’m looking forward to it and like I was saying the other day voted the by all the drivers as the best leg of SGP well I’m looking forward to it as well we’ve
Also got some money on the line because of course we do yeah a t game day good punter you put this one on what is it I just this is a Vibe punt this is a total Vibe Punt and that is New Zealand winning race one uh of on the Saturday
Afternoon uh there was three races and then there’s a final race so yeah I’ve got money on Home Harbor Advantage Home Harbor Advantage uh you know Berling and Chuka back behind the wheel um so yeah that was that’s paying four bucks for New Zealand to win that first race which
I think Prett pretty good eating you see them the coming second on the table behind Aussies Denmark are third interestingly um so look they’re up there so paying four bucks when you’re coming second in the competition is I thought it’s pretty good eating but it’s
Money for jamp um so yeah we’ll be down there tomorrow and Sunday so come down and say day like I said I think there’s still some tickets left so come along check it out yeah should be good I’ve never been to one of these events so I’m
I’m pretty excited neither to go and check it all out yeah um just quickly before we’re going to take a break and get to our dear friend Michael bracewell on the show today uh I wanted to mop up one of the headlines that came across my desk yesterday and it’s a staggering
Renov uh Revelation you know Smith and Smith the glass company yes Auto Glass yeah Smith and Smith repair Smith and Smith rep I sort of have always thought of them as a very kiwi company yeah they are not they are own as you said autog glass is like a global conglomerate and
So there’s Smith and Smith in every different country and they all have a different name in different countries but they all have the same jingle and so I’ve compiled a mega mix of all of the Jingles from Smith and Smith from around the world oh God have a listen to
Thisi Auto auto replace funky sa safe replace [Applause] douch at the end I was thinking that it was like what’s up with there must have been a phase where autog glass had a jingle off cuz you obviously got show us your crack yeah show us your crack apparently written by Ben Boyce yes and
Yeah and uh show us your crack novice fil noice wind screens fill your cracks and yeah yeah show us your crack find your vision Laing nervous one screen F your crack and show us your crack and then then the Smith then Smith repairs it’s like the the industry of jingle
Offs and then there’s Orland glass they just do glass I don’t think they do autog glass do they oh I don’t know but uh they only do it in Orland I don’t know anyway that blew my mind because I just thought that was such a New Zealand thing well they obviously
They fooled you with the New Zealand only jingle didn’t they yeah and they’re they’re fooling people around the world there’s some funky numbers in there though I must admit it makes the New Zealand one it’s like the New Zealand national anthem I’m always disappointed in the in the Tempo in the general droll
Of the New Zealand anthem when you compare it to your ital’s your your Argentinas yeah gree’s one has 42 verses France uh England even with God Save the King Canada yeah and that’s I think we got the same vibe in our Smith and Smith it’s the of jungles yeah I’ve
SE I’ve said this before but when we had the flag referendum I said we weren’t going far enough and we should have had a Anthem referendum yeah I agree and we should have changed it to scribe seminal work not many because could you imagine
If it was like so how does it go how does it start okay so ladies and Gentlemen please be upstanding for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir national anthem of New Zealand how many dudes you know roll like this how many dudes you know flow like this not many if any and could you imagine being like Estonia coming up against that or like Sophie Pesco wins another gold medal not a dry eye in the pool everyone’s crying and
Then I think I think it’s it’s I see what you mean it might be the an official it’s bit too quick why is it though because we it could be whatever we want it to be how many do like this not many if any be hard not to if you’re
Standing in the anthem to start doing this start bobbing up and down and start either that or uh duchies Shape Shifter oh yeah ladies and Gentlemen please welcome Boral primary school with the national anthem of New Zealand hold on hold it on that would get people
Going they would be quite good not L and also not not too many lyrics hold it deep inside welcome to the ride or you could just go you could go Bliss oh yeah cuz that would get yeah but may have to change the words a little bit but forget about the last one
Grab yourself another forget about the last country grab yourself another last middle I don’t know but yeah I just think that we need to we need to switch it up to something maybe sing yourself more bliss you could just change the words a little bit everyone knows it
Yeah and it’s a good crowd pleaser I’m stuck in with Duty Shape Shifter actually I’ve decided uh all right enough absolute dribble a man in this country took eight wickets for 41 runs the very next day he hadit a hole in one so we’re going to take a quick break and
Then we’re going to be right back with that man Michael bracewell I Wellington beat otaro the other day laying in the plunket shield and uh one of the greatest figures that you’ll see in a domestic cricket match 8 for 41 Michael bracewell the very next day walks out on the golf course and
Hits a hole in one we had to talk to him we’ve got him on the line right now he is somewhere in the trees on the 18th hole of the golf course again today he joins us now Michael how you going man good morning guys how are we good mate
Good luck to talk us talk us through it like is that potentially the two greatest days of your life yeah well I I can’t say that too loudly I I had a son but um yeah it’s got to be it’s got to be right up there he as a real pinch me
Sort of couple of days and um yeah sitting in the in the club rooms after the H one I sort of had a couple of beers and reflected on it and yeah it was definitely right up there walk us through the hole in one what describe
The hole that you were on the shot what you were trying to do and how it played out yeah so um we had one one to 124 m to the pin little little bit of wind behind me um been hand yeah and I was I was the
First to tee offer in our in our group so yeah managed to get it sort of two bounces a little bit of spin left and and straight in the hole so it was it was one of those ones that I didn’t want to celebrate too early cuz you know what
It’s like sometimes you get them quite close and then you get up there and the ball’s still sitting on the ground and you’re like oh no what a pork chop and it’s not in but yeah we got up there and and um yeah it’s F good to see
On the bottom of the cup oh nice um did it did usually things happen in threes uh Michael because a former New Zealand uh cricket coach U told a great story once where he was playing in England and he scored a sentury got a hole in one
And had a threesome all in one weekend uh so um I mean look I’m not suggesting you maybe uh head out tonight and look for recent just had a son uh but potentially you’re back on the golf course now uh look um you know the
Chances of G again yeah well to be fair the um the 100 draft was this morning and I missed out on that so that’s a real real heat check brings you back down to earth and I guess I guess those things it’s it’s that’s one of those
Things you you sort of um I don’t know we got this punet Shield final coming up and maybe that’s the third thing is is getting to uh lift that up with the boys on on on Wednesday that would be that would be pretty good pretty good couple
Of weeks to be fair absolutely if yeah knock up a hundy get a Fifer that’ be a pretty solid week uh week’s work wouldn’t it yeah I don’t I don’t think unbelievable yeah back to the 8 for 41 um I see that that is the best figures by any bracewell has that been
Brought up in any family chats has that been mentioned to anyone yeah um no my dad rang John the other day to tell him about the the in one and he was like of course he did um just after knocking him off the top figures of the family but um
Yeah know um it it is pretty special obviously a pretty proud family history of playing so yeah definely not something that you think about but um to reflect on and look back at some of John’s figures in particular I think he had a seven for n there as well on that list
Soers to go to to get he was but um yeah nice nice to be in and around this game as well yeah watch out for Mel brace well I believe she’s been practicing in the Nets as well so she might be she might be a
Threat yeah hey we we can hear you out on the pitch right now out on the course so we won’t take up too much of your time but um how how you going so far today what hole are you on and what sort of numbers are we looking at I’m on the
11th at the moment and I was about three over through the through the front line so who knows could be could be a TV round here as well very respectable all right we won’t take up any more of your time thanks very much mate and uh I look
Forward to hearing about what the third good thing is that happens to you I’ll let you guys know thanks cheers Che Mich you guys thanks very much Michael brasswell for joining us um it’s a hell of a week like we said good things all coming Threes And as you described in
That story you shared yeah um do you think the third one could be a thre yeah well Le’s hoping thoughts and prayers to Michael bracewell he’s just had a small child is obviously in a city relationship so maybe the th might be off the cards but um or not maybe just
Depends I don’t know what goes on in Wellington these days I don’t think a plunet shield final win is that big of a you know it needs to be a life moment does because every year someone wins The plunet Shield like Lotto oh yeah maybe he wins
Uh yeah there’s really only one outcome that’s really sticking out to me so a If someone knows Michael brell he’s never going to admit to it but uh let us know let us know how that plays on cuz we to keep tabs on there all right we need to
