The Hits with the Jono and Ben podcast. Time now for our weekly catch-up with Laura McGoldrick from The Hits Drive Show. It's sports with Lazza, Jazza and Baza. Come on in, Laura McGoldrick. Oh, jeez. Yeah! Hello. I have a hurricane.

I can't find my contract. I can't believe this is still happening. Why? Speaking of your husband, Marty Guptill, great win by the Blackcaps, their first ever series win against the West Indies. Is he home yet? Has he brought you back something duty free? And does he do his own washing when he comes home?

Like, is he washing all his smelly cricket gear? Yeah, the hard-hitting questions, which I appreciate. Guppy is home. Great to see him. I'm hoping there'll be gifts. It was kind of a quick crossover the other day when he arrived home. I'm letting him deal with the jet lag and now I'm going to hammer him with questions about what he brought home to me.

I don't want to destroy your dreams. If he hasn't given you the gift now, I don't know. I don't know if it was brought overseas. I imagine when he comes back from tour, he opens the door and you hand your children to him and go here, you take these. The exact conversation was, so there's milk in the fridge, have a great week.

You know, 10 weeks is a bit of a stint, so I'm thrilled to have them home. I bet. Now, a massive weekend of sport. The Warriors playing the Panthers. And I don't know why I'm talking like this, but that's tonight.

I'm a Warriors fan, but really, the season end probably can't come soon enough. How's that been for you? Because I'm a Warriors fan, but really the season end probably can't come soon enough. Yeah, how's that been for you? Because I love the Warriors, sure, but I'm comfortable enough with my position as a Warriors fan that I can just dip in and out. What's it been like if you're a diehard fan? Because that is a hard season.

The commitment has waned a little bit, to be brutally honest, towards the end of the year. Do you know I went to Chemist Warehouse actually the other weekend? I haven't given them to you yet. I purchased Ben Boyce some Warriors Ultra Soft three-ply tissues. They literally have their own brand of tissues. That's how sad their fans are. Is that for the fans?

Is that for the fans? It's for me. Yeah, yeah. Enjoy. So we've got the All Blacks this weekend. Big game against Argentina in Christchurch too. Now, Ian Foster, obviously coach, Scott Robertson territory. You're from Christchurch, Laura.

I mean, how's the crowd going to be? Oh, hostile. I'd say pretty hostile. No, I don't think so. It's the first time there's been test rugby back in Canterbury for a long time. So I know that everyone there will be out in full force. Do you think Ian Foster will bust out a dance? I mean, he's probably not a breakdancer,

but if he was going to do one post-match, what do you think he'd do in Christchurch? Raise the roof kind of guy, you know, to the roof, baby. I think that's where he lives. He's not down there twerking, is he? No. He ain't getting low. He ain't dropping it like it's hot.

I know that. I had a question, too, and it was not a bad one. Oh, the Argentinians. Every time I see an Argentinian rugby player on TV, they are enormous. And they have a very meat-heavy diet. It doesn't look like any of them have had one vegetable in their life. Just solid meat.

Are they a good rugby team? They are a good rugby team. They just walloped the Australians at the Wallabies a couple of weekends ago. They are ginormous human beings. And no, they don't know what broccoli is, but that's okay. They would have the most congested colon. That's for sure. Oh, yeah.

And finally, Laura, one last thing I wanted to throw at you. I don't know if you saw this. It was going around, but you've been to a lot of sporting games over the years. There was a guy in America at the baseball. He had a beer and he had a hot dog. And what he did, he had a perfectly good straw, but he kind of poked the straw through his hot dog, through the wiener, and then used the hot dog wiener as the straw to drink out of.

Now, I don't know. He doesn't ever use the sentence, he put his straw through a wiener again. I'm going to get you stopped, babe. Well, yeah, I was just like, you had a perfectly good straw. Why were you doing that? I don't know what benefit to use a hot dog as a straw. Have you ever seen anything wild like that happen in a sports game? I was once at the Basin Reserve watching a game of cricket.

It was a test match. And, look, I love the Basin Reserve. But some stuff went down. It was very exciting. And I watched a grown man throw a cooked chicken into the crowd like as part of a Mexican way. Oh, my God. I'm looking. Ben's just actually playing me the video of this man drinking out of a sausage straw.

Tell you what, the Argentinians, they would have sausage straws, wouldn't they? They definitely would. Okay. I'm not mature enough to have this conversation. Quickly before you go, we'll just rattle through the scores, okay,

Warriors, Panthers tonight, who's winning? I couldn't comment. Yeah, it's Panthers, I'll go this one, as a Warriors fan,

it's the Panthers. All Blacks, Argentina tomorrow? 1812 to the All Blacks. Oh, 1812 to the All Blacks and then finally, the Black Ferns

are playing Australia 245 in Adelaide, who's winning that? We are obviously and I'd say 32-10 to us. The Hits for more podcasts from the Hits Network check out iHeartRadio.co.nz
