Welcome to A Little Bit of Pod and just a reminder that the presale is now on for our

live show that we're doing at Auckland's Sky City Theatre October 19th.

Like there's official tickets, there's a seating plan and stuff, it's real, it's real.

You're used to this, this is so weird, I'm finding this so weird.

It is fun, it's really fun to see tickets and see them going up and looking forward to seeing everyone.

So you can come along and see us do our show live on stage this October, all the details

at ZM Online.

The general tickets go on sale this Monday.

I would say don't dilly-dally, they will sell out.

Someone, some people who don't have any tickets left, the New Zealand Warriors, they're applying

this weekend, up the wires.

If you're listening to this after the weekend, we have either won and will be proceeding

to the next round of the NRL finals or we have lost and we don't want to talk about

it and next year is definitely going to be our year.

All to slip into that Homer Simpson hedge.

Yeah, re-emerges, who else is playing sports this while, the All Blacks, but we should

win against Namibia or Tanzania or who are we playing?

I don't know.

Yeah, I'm surprised they even have rugby balls to be honest.

Yeah, look.

They're not a formidable second 10 to 10, I was getting a finger because we say Jared

South African but Jared's Namibian of birth.

This is who we're playing this weekend, Namibia.

Yeah, Namibia.

Who is it?

He doesn't know.

I don't know.

Why do you get all dirty just introducing him to the league?

But do you have rugby balls in Namibia?

Oh, that's so true.

More rugby balls in schools, mate.

Really?

School children probably.

Yeah, okay.

Oh, good.

I bet there's those rugby balls today.

You remember those rugby balls at primary school that had plastic?

Yeah.

They were really...

They built character.

Yeah.

They slapped your foot but they were easier to kick once you warmed them up.

Yeah, yeah.

They were a much easier border kid.

Well, good luck to Jared's home team.

So you'll be pro Namibia.

Yeah.

Are you pro Namibia?

Pro Namibia.

Okay.

Are you still pro China?

Um, Vorna, I'm not waiting into the one China debate.

I absolutely not.

Okay, okay.

Are you still home bugged by Chinese communist spies?

Well, the Waris are playing this weekend and we were lucky enough last week, the one sent

us Warrior's shirts.

One knee for the phone people.

Yeah, the phone people that used to say no on this Vodafone.

Yeah, yeah.

They said, oh, because I own a Warrior's jersey from yesteryear, one of the first ones ever

released before they were actually even in the NRL when that was announced they were

going to be.

And they said, well, if you've got that one, you need the new one.

And they said, they said, here's some for the family as well.

And August put her on my youngest daughter and wore it like most of the weekend.

Oh, wow.

She loved it.

Up the waz.

Up the waz.

And it's Mufti day at school today.

And Mufti that I always hated Mufti days because he would say, oh, I've got no cool

clothes to wear.

I'm not cool.

It was my chance to show everyone who I really was.

Yeah.

From year to year.

It changed a lot.

Rich.

How many Mufti days did you have?

Because these kids seem to have a lot of Mufti days.

Yeah.

I feel like it was one or two.

One or two.

And it was a gold coin donation.

It went to a pre-selected charity.

Charity.

Charity.

I think our teachers just spent it.

Yeah, did they?

That's fair enough.

Oh, God.

And then shame the kid that like forgot and is wearing a full skirt and blazer.

Yeah.

All right.

You're right.

Actually, Jared's just measures.

We don't call it Mufti anymore.

You'll remember a couple of years ago.

The term Mufti got cancelled.

Oh, my God.

That's right.

Oh, wow.

Because it's a religious term.

Religious term.

Yeah.

So what is it called now?

Just casual.

Non-uniform.

Civvies.

Yeah.

Something.

Be yourself day.

Be yourself day.

Be yourself day.

Be yourself.

Oh, my God.

So anyway, August is elected to where a warrior should and she's hosting the student assembly.

So some money's been put on the line.

If she gives an up the was and the student assembly did, it's going to give her 20 bucks.

Are you going to film it?

Yeah.

Because that'd be great on social media.

Yeah.

Give it a big up the was.

Up the was.

Yeah.

They'll tell it to give a big up the was.

If she doesn't say it.

I'm going to scream it out.

Up the was.

Don't embarrass her.

There's no dad-plated thing of her doing it to save me from embarrassing her.

Oh, yeah, good.

Give her the up the was.

Yeah, yeah.

I think it's the only junior assembly, which is a real shame, because if Indy was there,

that's a two for if dad yells out the was.

Because last week, when I was dropping August off at a birthday party, as I drove away

outside the cinema, as I screamed out August, I love you, I'll miss you so much, and pretended

to cry.

And she said afterwards, that was so embarrassing.

I said, you have barely scratched the surface.

Oh, this is so great.

I'm excited this is happening.

I've barely scratched the surface of what I am capable of.

And it's probably good for me because you'll get out of dropping them off, because they'll

be so embarrassed by you.

I hadn't even thought of that.

That's great.

And then I just get to stay at home, because of how embarrassing I am.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And then one day they said, dad, shut up, and I hate you, and I cry.

And then they're like, oh, he's just doing this.

This is one of his acts.

But it's not.

It's not.

No.

I'm crying.

Forever.

The end.

Up the was.

Up the was.

Up the was.

Up the was.
