BC: No, they wanna know if you support the All Blacks team.
Iha: (New Zealand accent) I do not know. I don't know who they are to tell you the truth.
BC: Oh, come on. He played a little rugby in his day.
Iha: I would - what the fuck was that shit when they uh, they score a goal, it was like a dude with a - with a pith helmet and he like runs sometime?
BC: He didn't realize it was Australian rules football.
Iha: Oh. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah, I am playing the ugly American as the devil's advocate, you know, I was - I knew that, I knew that was Australian rules, I was just trying to get you mad, I’m sorry.

Iha: Oh god, that was so painful. And now, we're gonna play the cyber-blues. Our style of blues.
BC: Thank you for fighting [unintelligible].
Iha: (New Zealand accent) Who has a bow and arrow to shoot yonder past a cap? I beg of thee, take me away from this rock tour, I’m so fearless.

Iha: Woo! [2 unintelligible words]

BC: See...
Iha: Ladies and gentlemen, [unintelligible as Billy talks over him].
