It's not financial advice, but all the people we talk to on this show say don't go changing things just because Trump's wrecking the world at the moment. Stay, hold your line if you possibly can. Anyway, I'm glad that Oliver Peterson raised the rugby because I went to the rugby on Friday night, right? And then I watched the Warriors on Saturday and after that, a couple of newspaper articles really caught my attention because they compared rugby with rugby league and the very thing that I... I don't know why, but I only really noticed it for some reason really just, it was just quite striking this weekend. So the Sunday Star Times ran a story how the once were Auckland Warriors became embraced throughout Aotearoa and it basically pointed out how much hype there is around the Warriors and tells the story of how the Warriors quite deliberately targeted young kids, sort of 16, 17, 18 year olds coming out, I think about 2023 and realised that if they could get them on as rusted on fans, it would really help. The hurricanes, says this particular story, the hurricanes currently lead Super Rugby Pacific, but they could only draw 13,000 fans for their top of the table game against the Blues in Wellington last weekend. That was Sunday. So this morning I open the papers and I'm reading in the Herald, Super Rugby Pacific has some real issues while the NRL thrives. Editorial, which again points out how much hype the Warriors has. Big crowds, excitement every weekend, a grand final that rivals any in the sports. sports world and expansion. The latest team being the Red Cliff Dolphins in Queensland. Now what caught my eye, why those stories caught my eye was because when I was at the Blues I looked around the stadium and halftime, because raving about Drax Project the other day, right? I love Drax Project. So Drax Project came out and did the halftime show and they, like Eden Park really put on a show. They had fizzy things, they had the sparklers coming out of the guys' saxophone, they had the lights going, it was all very cool. And I looked around and I thought, jeez, but they're still, it's like pitiful how many people are here. And then I turn on the Warriors and the thing is full and it's amping and it's hyped and there's all this. And I... I have, I've run out of ideas. Eden Park is trying so bloody hard. Rugby is trying so hard with the entertainment around it. Why? Why are we not going to the, why aren't we going to super rugby if it's kind of the same kind of experience now as NRL? Why aren't we going? Love somebody to answer this question. 16 away from five.
