Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:09):
I'm only doing that because I'm so. I'm feeling so
good about everything I've seen the last week. That's what
that vxhilation was about. Nothing more, nothing less. And guess
what it's signed for another ravishing rivity episode of iniffuity.
Before we get there, we're going to have to go
around the circle and share our feelings in an intimate setting.

(00:31):
Chris Martin two to seventeen phrases or grunts to describe
your feelings on I have a feeling it's probably going
to be around the FA Cup. I don't know if
you're that torn up about Italy not qualifying for the
World Cup game, but whatever you'd like to say, just.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Start crying into my dispatch show. That's Spanish. Okay, three words?
Are you disabled?

Speaker 3 (00:58):
Now?

Speaker 2 (00:58):
I there's some contact, there's some context.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Maybe learning wise.

Speaker 2 (01:03):
I got an interesting hook here.

Speaker 4 (01:05):
Okay. So I feel like in life I like to
celebrate my victories. I gotta I've got to. I also
feel like i'm I should expose my flaws and my
errors of my way. Today I was driving my mum
in Eastbourne to a shopping center called the Beacon Center,

(01:26):
and around the bat they have disabled parking she has
a disabled parking badge, and I saw there was no
space because there was a huge white van in there
that if you know in America, the stereotype of white
van men in the UK is they're just like terrible drivers.
They just take they do naughty stuff all the time,
shouldn't be doing part where they should be. I see

(01:48):
the white van in my head. I'm driving, it's like
ten in the morning. I'm just like, well, in my head,
I'm like, that person's just part there illegally. I look
for the windows, a man sitting in there, and I'm like,
we're just sitting in there because he doesn't want to
He couldn't be bothered to find another parking space. So
just without even thinking about it, out the window, go

(02:09):
are you disabled?

Speaker 3 (02:12):
No?

Speaker 2 (02:14):
I say that out loud out my mouth. The guy
looks at me.

Speaker 4 (02:18):
He pulls out a blue badge he hadn't drive on.

Speaker 2 (02:24):
And it shook me like a few seconds to process.

Speaker 4 (02:27):
I was like, firstly, you just aren't allowed to ask
someone that anyway. Yeah, but because it's just it's got
private and like not all disabilities are visible. But just
in my head I was just so certain that like
I didn't even question what I was doing, and.

Speaker 1 (02:42):
I was like, You're like, this is a guy.

Speaker 4 (02:44):
This guy is just an asshole, Like there's no way
you could be a disabled driver.

Speaker 2 (02:48):
We're in a white van and then I just drove
in like parts of it further up.

Speaker 4 (02:52):
And then about a minute later he drove past and
was just staring at me, and I was just like,
what am I doing? I'm so sorry he got anyway.
It's a long way of saying I made a mistake.
And I feel like on the weekend a lot of
stupid errors were made. Arsenal players bounce, we had, we
had Virgil van Dijk.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Giving away a penalty, we had.

Speaker 4 (03:17):
Missed penalties in the in the west ham Leeds game,
sending off an italygue game anyway, are you disabled? I'm
so sorry if if, if that man from Eastbourne is
listening to I'm shaming myself. It's a lesson for all,
even if someone's driving off a bit. Do you know
what my brain's like, I think he illegally got that.
I think he illegally got his hands on that. Watching

(03:40):
too much Fox News, you know what I mean? Do
you think everybody's this camera now.

Speaker 2 (03:43):
Excuse me.

Speaker 3 (03:45):
Here?

Speaker 4 (03:45):
It is just what I just couldn't. I spent an
hour just going what's wrong with me? I apologize to
a community of people and let myself down at my family.

Speaker 2 (03:55):
What did your mom think? Was your mom with you?

Speaker 4 (03:57):
She actually when we were she actually said to me, goes,
that's a lot of there are a lot of people
buying them on the black market.

Speaker 2 (04:02):
And I was like, all right, I appreciate.

Speaker 3 (04:05):
There you go, mom, Eastern Weekend trying to show some love.
That's cool.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
She's a real one. Jamel Johnson, how about you? Three
to seventeen words phrases, anecdotes.

Speaker 3 (04:16):
Stanley Clark comes to mind, the music supervisor for a
little film called Boys in the Hood. Wow, okay, now, Chris.

Speaker 2 (04:25):
I have said that, well, I believe checking with me.

Speaker 3 (04:31):
Yeah, I just wanted to check before I launched right in,
because I believe Arsenal is starting to hear the saxophones. Listen.
Oh no, they Italy already, they already got bucked down.
All right, boy, all right, Peter Poland you are the
white Ricky's. You guys are all Ricky. The saxophones are
blaring and I can't turn them down.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
Wow, Wow, that is wild. That is a good pull
because it's funny. I didn't even realize Stanley Clark were
on that film because he's, in his own right, a
fantastic jazz bassist.

Speaker 2 (05:04):
Uh that I didn't. Okay, here we go.

Speaker 3 (05:07):
He's the reason he gave us. He gave us fear. Yeah,
via saxophone.

Speaker 2 (05:12):
Yeah, oh my god.

Speaker 4 (05:13):
Well, just to confirm, that's when someone the sack starts.
You know someone's about to get gunned down.

Speaker 2 (05:18):
Yeah, that's the scene. You just know. You're like, here
we go.

Speaker 3 (05:21):
The guys scratching a lottery ticket. He thinks his life,
he thinks he's about to be rich, and then the
next second he gets shot in the back. You're telling
me that's not arsenal foods hearing the saxophones.

Speaker 1 (05:37):
We're definitely hearing the saxophones right now. They're off in
the distance. And those who are like, hey, motherfucker, I
think I hear saxophones. Yeah, we we just it's time
to tighten up. We just shot hands with uh, we
just shook hands with Cuba Gooding Junior. Oh no, it's
starting to come in. Yeah, yeah, it's possible. It's possible.

Speaker 3 (05:57):
For me.

Speaker 1 (05:57):
I couldn't even think that far ahead or that fall
from On a meta level, I was just thinking, shit, sandwich,
you know what I mean. We had a terrible Final
Cup loss, and then an international break where we're like maybe, yeah, yeah, yeah,
that's okay, that's okay, we can get over it and
then get right back in it with another absolutely terrifyingly

(06:21):
bad performance in the FA Cup and we'll get to that.
But chronologically, last time we recorded, we're like, oh, Italy's
going to be playing in their qualifier, hopefully they'll make
it to the World Cup against Bosni and Herzegovina.

Speaker 2 (06:36):
That shit went to penalties and they lost for one.

Speaker 1 (06:39):
And in that instance, Colazinach had the last laugh as
an arsenal left back that was representing in that international game.

Speaker 2 (06:48):
But this is now the.

Speaker 5 (06:51):
Three straight World Cups that Italy has missed, which is
unfathomable considering they just won the euro Cup in you know,
twenty twenty one technically, but that twenty twenty euros they won.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
But man, this is.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
A I don't know, it feels like one of the
It just feels weird, you know, like with Italy not
being there, kind of feels like how the Knicks used
to not be good and not be in the playoffs,
And when the Knicks started being in the playoffs again,
I was like, this feels like the NBA that I
grew up with, And now with Italy missing, I'm like,
where what happened?

Speaker 2 (07:21):
Where are you guys? What did happen?

Speaker 3 (07:23):
Is the problem the just like like team management or
is it just that? Is it coaching?

Speaker 4 (07:29):
Right, it's a bit of they got a little bit
of the mental block because they keep not doing it.
And then yeah, from what I Catuzo isn't or wasn't
the best coach they could have spposed to be had.
But yeah, a lot of people trying to blame him,
a lot of people blaming the pressure some of them.
And then it's the team is not good, but they're

(07:49):
definitely good enough to be in the World Cup. It's
just they yeah, they just it's kind of like England's help.
England always bottle it in the tournament. Italy I don't
eve get they don't even get into the party. They're
not even Yeah, they can't even get past the bouncer.

Speaker 3 (08:05):
Taking bottling to a new level, quite yeah, Vita fas
a bottle? Is it? Because they're trying to play without
fouling the shit out of people all the time.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
No, No, I think they're actually the Wolkes national team.
Is that there is?

Speaker 1 (08:17):
According to the memes, because they boycotted the Russian World
Cup at twenty eighteen, they knew they boycotted the twenty
twenty two World Cup and cutter they said, this is
an abomination and this was bought with bribes. They're looking
at twenty twenty six. They're seeing Johnny and Fantino over
here right cutting up with Donald Crumps and they're like, nah,

(08:38):
we're off this shit too. That was just the funniest
thing when people were like respect to them for their human.

Speaker 2 (08:43):
Rights and recruits us.

Speaker 3 (08:45):
Right, that's three World Cups.

Speaker 4 (08:46):
That's so funny. They tell you what though, Yeah, tell
you what. Those summer sex parties are going to have
one handsome guy vailable to join them. Yeah, Ricky, yeah, calify, Yeah,
white shot parties is going to get a little oh
yeah man yeah.

Speaker 3 (09:02):
The next season, it says parties just they're gonna.

Speaker 2 (09:06):
Roll it in the shopping cart.

Speaker 1 (09:07):
They're like, here he is, boys, we got a gama
ghul for everybody to carve up.

Speaker 4 (09:12):
He imaginated the dressing room. He like he was just
locking as like a golden take Hills. I mean, yes,
of sex spoties. He like pulls out the second place
is actually the winner.

Speaker 1 (09:24):
Yeah, I mean, I gotta say the there's just a
lack of I don't know, like the the lack of
proper talent being embraced coming up in the national team
set up is something that is probably a little bit alarming.
But also we can't forget this quote from Gennaro Gatuzzo
in last November, when he was complaining about the too
many African teams. He said, quote, in my day, the

(09:46):
best runners up went straight to the World Cup. In
nineteen ninety and ninety four, there were two African teams.
Now there are nine. It's not a controversy, but it
creates difficulties. So blaming Africa the the time honor tradition
in Italian politics. So yeah, yeah, you know, sticking to
the script. But yeah, Italy, you will be missed, you

(10:09):
will be missed. Meanwhile, there was Man the England. England
did not do great. They lost one nil to Japan
uh in a match that felt a little I think
a lot of people were like, oh, what's going on
with England.

Speaker 2 (10:21):
How do you say about that?

Speaker 4 (10:23):
You obviously half Japanese, but you also yeah English, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
loves speaking.

Speaker 1 (10:30):
Oh if it's Japan agains, it's always it is Japan
all day for me, you know what I mean?

Speaker 2 (10:33):
But I was not expected.

Speaker 1 (10:35):
I mean, Japan can be competitive and they can definitely
show up for a match, especially when they're in the
underdog like that's that's like one of the talents of
this national team. But man like, in terms of the
English set up, Thomas Tookle was like, it's fine, man, fine, bro,
we got a couple months, We got a couple months.

Speaker 3 (10:51):
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (10:51):
This is just this is not a great string of
results here for the last couple of matches we played.

Speaker 2 (10:57):
But we'll be okay.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
I mean, Chris, I would chest pass the ball back
to you as an English month What are you? How
are you looking at that? Are you freaking out? You're
kind of like scrubs out there?

Speaker 2 (11:07):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Weatherspoons? Like are they sweating their weatherspoons right now?

Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (11:13):
That's like in the plus four four they're always sweating
a wetherspoons made spoons. They don't have enough money for
air conditioning in Wetherspoons and it's a very humid country
this time of year. Uh, it's a weird one because
two chul He's won every competitive game as England manager

(11:34):
and not conceded a goal.

Speaker 3 (11:36):
Is that right? Do you know?

Speaker 4 (11:37):
The goal of the whole of qualifying every game? But
then on the flip side, the only team of any
note they played with Serbia, But then every time they've
played like a good team in a friendly they've not
turned up. I mean, I feel like this international break
couldn't have been at a worse time. And as a
friend of your I mean, think how many players pulled that?
Not just Arsenal players have a long season, they're trying

(11:59):
to rest these guys is some of these players were
trying to like force their way into this reckoning and
didn't like Folding didn't turn up, And I bro he's
a very interesting England's Darling Folding, but has never ever
played well for England in the forty times he's played.
I mean, the fact he even tried him as a
false nine shows the lack of lack of Cane replacements.

Speaker 2 (12:20):
But yeah, lack of Cane replacement is a worry.

Speaker 4 (12:23):
But like no deck from Rice, no Bellingham. Those are
two big parts of those Soker like, there's a lot
of guaranteed starters not not playing. But yeah, it's hard
to know. But then the reason that a lot of
these players rest, they're tired off for long season. So
that always gets to that point in the World Cup

(12:46):
when England. England always got like a lot of our
best players are tired from the long season, and it's like, yeah,
you know, everyone's tired from long ston.

Speaker 1 (12:54):
You know a lot of people from all over the
world play in the Premier League and have the same
game match a well.

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Exactly, no, exactly, but yeah, I'm not too worried.

Speaker 6 (13:03):
But uh but yeah, but it's not going to.

Speaker 4 (13:06):
Turn the way to care about England at this point
in the season. Yeah, that's true, that's true. Uh, Jamel,
the US.

Speaker 3 (13:17):
You kidding? You?

Speaker 1 (13:21):
Are you?

Speaker 2 (13:21):
Are you old? Are you?

Speaker 1 (13:22):
Are you? Do you have any optimism for the US
team or you're just kind of like, I'll see how
these motherfuckers do, We'll see.

Speaker 3 (13:27):
No, I mean no, no, I don't, cause it's and
I don't I can't identify what the problem is. I
think it's just that our country suck. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (13:37):
Yeah, the vibes are bad. So the vis a nation
we don't deserve ship and.

Speaker 3 (13:42):
The vibes you were never a great centered around the team.
People used to say the team suck and like out
the door and like Clint Dempsey were like, no, we'll
we'll kill you. We'll kill you, will die, We'll die
for a draw. We'll actually die for it, you know
what I'm saying. Right, And now this group is like
I I also, I don't care. I'm worth twice. I'm

(14:03):
worth five times as much as Clint Dempsey ever was,
and I don't care. And it's like why why should Yeah?

Speaker 2 (14:09):
Yeah, oh man, I mean good luck, good luck to them.

Speaker 3 (14:14):
You know what's the most disappointing, No fucking goalkeeper. That
used to be the only ship we could do, right.

Speaker 1 (14:19):
Yeah, like a hustle because that was like the one
position that was a combination of sports Americans were good at.

Speaker 2 (14:25):
They're like, can you dive at some ship gets back
and some ship.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
You're playing pe class bro, It's just yeah, don't let
the ball go in.

Speaker 2 (14:32):
I got it perfect.

Speaker 4 (14:35):
But now you have to be good with the bull
at your feet as a goalie, and that's too many
things for an American athlete.

Speaker 2 (14:40):
So things in one body.

Speaker 3 (14:44):
Yeah, that's I'm sorting Matt Turner. That is it?

Speaker 2 (14:46):
Ain't you, bro, it ain't. I'm sorry, but that's okay,
and that's.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Going out sad. Oh my god, I hope you enjoy
being an MLS next analyst.

Speaker 2 (14:56):
Where's he?

Speaker 4 (14:57):
Where's he playing now? Fors us he went back? He's
back to back softdris so Yeah, which truth be told.

Speaker 3 (15:05):
Listen, everybody who's good enough to be on a European
roster should be on a European roster. But I do
think now that the national team should be MLS players
because that's the only guys with the chip on their
back correctly, it's the correct size chip. Bro. We have
to be playing with the chip. Bro. We can't use skill.

(15:27):
The only way we're gonna get results is your American grit.
Yeah yeah, bootstrapping it. Yeah yeah, yeah, graight up.

Speaker 1 (15:33):
You need like like like a bunch of white guys
who play in the NBA.

Speaker 3 (15:36):
Yeah, listen, bald landon Donovan was right. I didn't want
to admit it at the time when he was bald
and I wasn't listening to him because he was bald.

Speaker 2 (15:43):
My apology's mouth. But remember when he said, we don't know.

Speaker 3 (15:48):
He was like, yo, we need to like our start.
We should all be together, like the way Germany or
like any other big European nation has all their start,
like Spain, like all their stars are playing in the
domestic league. Bro, it's about being close to each other.
And everybody was like, shut your baldass up.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
Yeah, I mean on the flip side, if if the
US team was going to be super competitive, then the
standard would be like, bro, if you're not playing in Europe,
or get the fuck up my face. I mean Cleansman
was trying. That was kind of his vision at first,
or sort of like the level has to be higher
than just playing the MLS all stars, and he fucks.

Speaker 3 (16:19):
He'd have made want to fucked us up. Got him
dreaming about getting better contracts and stuff, fucking ridiculous.

Speaker 4 (16:27):
That was like, by this point, you should have won
one Window World Cup. If ever, if you guys could
just be bothered to old play football, if you've invested
in football, you should Window.

Speaker 1 (16:36):
And yeah, when he came into he was doing right rightfully.
I thought he was like, look, you guys have so
many immigrants in this country who are coming from places
where they give a fuck about soccer, Like that really
needs to be developed, embraced more just nationally, right because
like you have a feeder system already, people who are
like coming from homes that are literate in the sport

(16:57):
and also like using that to your advantage rather than
like because you know, like playing competitive soccer in America,
it's it's it's become like a class thing. Like it's
not it's not available one especially when did you.

Speaker 2 (17:11):
Say that to uh?

Speaker 4 (17:12):
I just took my little one to a park today
to kick a ball around. And there's some other kids
when you're in England, just everywhere you go, kids playing
football all the time, just.

Speaker 2 (17:21):
Going to kick abouts good.

Speaker 4 (17:22):
And then I was like telling one of my favorite,
one of my favorite things to tell English people that
something is expensive and I just can't believe it.

Speaker 3 (17:28):
And I was like, I go, yeah, you live in America.

Speaker 4 (17:31):
And it's forty dollars far from forty dollars half an hour. Wow,
I thought twenty six a month was expensive. And you know,
immediately immediately we're singing the national anthem.

Speaker 3 (17:43):
Card word.

Speaker 4 (17:45):
We were in Wetherspoons within within seconds of me telling
her that price why all right?

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Clean? Did my friend. He was like, it's like trying
to fix Tottenham what he was doing, doing too much
and then getting off from straight and then making moves
out of spite, which was fucking us on the back end.

Speaker 1 (18:04):
He's he's he's like the perfect person you want to
fuck sit up in a bad way. Because then like
was it was it the Korean national team that he
was coaching then after that, and then was it even
wasn't even like living near Korea like at all? He
was like, man, you know, I'm kind of I'm kind
of where the ship's at right now.

Speaker 4 (18:23):
Didn't ever put a bad year linked to that twenty
thirteen about the Italian system being broken?

Speaker 2 (18:28):
One I could absolutely do.

Speaker 4 (18:29):
There's a lot of these guys in football in different
countries and institutions.

Speaker 2 (18:34):
You know that ral Ralph rang in it when he's
at Manu, just.

Speaker 4 (18:37):
Going, guys, everything is fucked right now. And then and
then someone you're gonna fix it. Hey, I'll just tell
you it's fucked. And then people go, we don't want
to hear that exactly.

Speaker 2 (18:54):
Yeah, we want we want solutions, not problems. That was
the Howard Dean screen scream of football.

Speaker 1 (19:00):
When is that never in the White House, and people
were like, oh, bro, this dude is talking about universal
health care. But I didn't like that yell, so get
out of here. Thank you for identifying the problem, all right.
But actually, before we go to break, Sweden having a
good old time putting it to Poland.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
I took the wall.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
To Poland.

Speaker 2 (19:22):
I took the yack to Poland. Dude Victor Jakarez just
light lighting it up with Grandpotter. Did he work?

Speaker 1 (19:34):
Was was Grandpotter managing Brighton by the time when he
was there for that little bit?

Speaker 3 (19:38):
Or no?

Speaker 1 (19:38):
Did they not overlap enough? I'm just trying to think anyway.

Speaker 4 (19:41):
I don't know if he but he only played like
five games. Yeah that's true, that's true. But yeah because
of that result, Sweden through Poland not so much. Uh
the Victor bro he's it was nice to see him
scoring goals. It felt good as an Arsenal.

Speaker 3 (19:58):
Fan, felt important. Mm hm oh yeah going into this
next section, yeah, maybe maybe he keeps the jeans off
for us.

Speaker 1 (20:06):
Yeah, maybe he at least cuts him down the cutoffs.

Speaker 4 (20:09):
Yeah, yeah, he'swel yeah, he's just doing.

Speaker 1 (20:15):
What Butyo does with his socks and just cut little
holes where the calves go, you know, and he's like,
that's my first layer, okay, And if I get past that,
then they'll be cutoffs. Then they'll be daisy dukes. Then
I'll be nude, and then I'll be fully liberated. But yeah,
I mean he's a hero in Sweden and.

Speaker 3 (20:31):
He should be a hero to the big guys that Ikia.
I'm looking for a Kia to do a huge thing
for the World Cup. Now Sweden plays in Houston, right, Ikia,
it's all time. I need you guys to really turn up,
make the meatballs bigger. So yeah, just some sort of
special like I mean Swedish.

Speaker 1 (20:54):
Name already sounds like an Ikea item, like if I
saw that on a label.

Speaker 3 (21:00):
Oh yeah, it's like a yeah, it's like a special
little table for like your mag safe.

Speaker 2 (21:05):
Of oh you oh you're living it up.

Speaker 1 (21:08):
You got the Yakarez charging table.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
Yeah okay, yeah, yeah, yeah exactly.

Speaker 1 (21:16):
That.

Speaker 4 (21:16):
That's the ultimate honor in Sweden is if you do
so well in a in a sport, rather than a statue,
they name a piece of Ikea furniture after you.

Speaker 2 (21:24):
It gets he gets like a Swedish listeners, do we
have this right?

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Is that the highest honor from at least from my
very narrow perspective, it's that you have an ike item
named in your honor. I believe that would be the
highest plane. I mean, even for me, I'm an Ikea fan.
If they even if they change the name of the
meat balls to my name for one day, that would
mean I made.

Speaker 4 (21:44):
It the the Ikea and just outside Edinburgh and the
place called Straight and they were my worst from They
give kids an apple on the way in as a
snack and that's that's a lovely touched a little.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Apple as a snack. Damn for pulling up. Yeah, just
putting up again. I who My son was like this
place rules.

Speaker 1 (22:04):
There's someone just locking the kids at the door and
they're like, okay, here's your apple.

Speaker 3 (22:08):
Damn because the American one they like make you they
make your kids become lost, Like they don't. It's a
they spin your child around five times, right.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
And then they spray you down with like a chemical
spray like it was Chernobyl or some shit. Yeah, you know,
they're like, get this kid. They are dirty as fuck.
All right, welcome viik you. Everything's fine, Everything's fine, all right,
let's take a quick break when we come back. It's
time to address the elephant in the room after this one.

Speaker 2 (22:51):
And we're back. So Man City.

Speaker 1 (22:54):
They beat us in the Carling Cup final. I call
it the Carling Cup Final. Look at me, I'm time
traveling the Caravan Cup Final. Then they got to the
FA Cup. They're playing Liverpool. They beat the shit out
of Liverpool for nil. But I'm not surprised because this
is a Liverpool team that couldn't even be taughten them,
So I'm a little bit I'm taking that with a
grain of salt. The thing that I think is terrifying

(23:15):
for Arsenal fans with a certain form of trauma is
seeing Earling Holland have a hat trick in this match
and seeing his goony koopa troopa ass face being.

Speaker 2 (23:26):
Like like he's back. That is a little bit terrifying.

Speaker 1 (23:31):
But that's a very specific thing that I think is
only terrifying when you juxtapose the results of the last
few matches and the way Arsenal has played and feeling
really terrible about that, because I do remind myself that
they've had some weird results also before nil, were any
of you surprised by the result or did you even
think do you think Liverpoo would at least give him

(23:51):
a match on some level?

Speaker 3 (23:53):
I mean, obviously I'm hoping for it. Yes, that means
the City's vulnerable or whatever. But yeah, now I out that.
Do you think City, bro, that's theirs? Yeah? Yeah, I'm
just sorry. I just I wasn't distracted.

Speaker 4 (24:04):
If you heard a noise, I was just checking when
Harlan's last YouTube video came.

Speaker 3 (24:09):
Out weeks ago.

Speaker 2 (24:10):
Two weeks ago, he had a break. He had a
two week break.

Speaker 3 (24:14):
Okay, yeah, he's coming.

Speaker 1 (24:20):
If he puts out, if he puts one out before
the Chelsea match, they're going.

Speaker 2 (24:22):
To drop points.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
What happens?

Speaker 2 (24:26):
You people are losing their minds about Arsenal's loss of
foreman Man City.

Speaker 4 (24:32):
You know, quote unquote playing well. But City have done
this a lot of season. They've had a couple of
all right, and then they just drop points in a
in a game Arsenal. I'm not Actually, it's quite hard
for me to give an informed opinion on the Arsenal game.
So I did watch it in a pub in Eastbourne,
and I forgot there's a live band on in one

(24:54):
half of the room.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
There's no commentary, and.

Speaker 4 (24:56):
I've forgotten, and I hadn't been at a pub nighttime
in the UK much, and so I forgot how casually
everyone is on cocaine. Like there was just so many
people just on the cocaine in.

Speaker 2 (25:11):
This pub, just like just just around. I was just
sort of I was kind of mesmeer.

Speaker 3 (25:17):
I was grinding.

Speaker 4 (25:19):
Yeah here Teeve grinding a lot of very wide eyes,
and I was kind of watching the people as much
as Max Downmond and Ben White missing headers. So it's
quite off for me to concentrate. But for that light
now he's old agent was in the back.

Speaker 3 (25:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:35):
Yeah, you're trying to stuff.

Speaker 1 (25:41):
What do you want like a frigging you want to
a ball for like frigging I'll.

Speaker 2 (25:45):
Give it you for like one hundred and fifty pounds, bro.
You want a rail replacement service? I got over here
for the end.

Speaker 1 (25:52):
I'm running the I'm grunning the g n e R
bro now the funk Great Northeast Railway.

Speaker 3 (25:57):
Bro.

Speaker 2 (25:58):
Come up to frigging new Bro.

Speaker 1 (26:01):
But you said that, It was like, is that what
you I went to g n e R Newcastle, baby,
because actually l.

Speaker 4 (26:08):
N e R is now sort of the one that
as well. Anyway, it's just sorry, that's the company anyway. No,
that's just just fantastic knowledge of retro wait rail line.

Speaker 1 (26:18):
I always because people always talk about the cocaine epidemic
in UK, like in the UK, and I always see
like on English TikTok, there's so many memes of people
just yacked out all the time. Are people going, is
it like the eighties in the US where people don't
even go to the bathroom.

Speaker 2 (26:32):
To do this? Ship?

Speaker 4 (26:32):
Like, Yeah, there's a lot of I mean right there
on that there's a lot of a lot of keys
used in the short of that's the that's any reason
people have keys in twenties.

Speaker 2 (26:41):
But the one thing I will say about yeah, cocaine in.

Speaker 4 (26:46):
England is it's it's a real uh. You know, the
UK is quite a class based system and stuff. But
I'll tell you what in terms of everyone in the
equality like the quality.

Speaker 2 (26:58):
It's not it's it's uh.

Speaker 4 (27:00):
I think it's cut with loads Again I've really I've
never done it, so I'm a little good boy in
that respect. But it's knows no no social status or anything.
But apparently it's all cut with loads of dodgy stuff.
So my mate, so I was texting them going. I've
forgot how much everyone is on cocaine. It's not really coke,
it's more it's more pub dust, it's all.

Speaker 7 (27:22):
It's just sort of a communal something everyone gets involved in,
mostly mostly be twelve, the powder from a packet of
scampy fries that everyone shoves up there.

Speaker 2 (27:36):
But you know, Popeyes they call it Cajun sparkle.

Speaker 1 (27:42):
They cut it with with an emergency and some baby
laxative and they step on it with that.

Speaker 3 (27:48):
I like the it's kind of like New York with
like the Deli sandwich, you know what I mean, Like
they're all like fifty Yeah.

Speaker 2 (27:56):
You know that's nice. It's like Daega sandwich. Yeah, that's
what it is.

Speaker 1 (28:00):
Yeah, yeah, their dollar fifty slices, you know what I mean.
It's like, look, if you want, you could probably do it.

Speaker 2 (28:04):
You could.

Speaker 1 (28:04):
You could go to Little Cali's or whatever, or it's
popping for that.

Speaker 3 (28:08):
It's right here.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
But if you need fifty just to get it in,
we're right here. Call it pub dust ship.

Speaker 3 (28:14):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:14):
Pub dust is so fucking funny dust.

Speaker 2 (28:17):
So we don't feel bad about it.

Speaker 3 (28:19):
Yeah, don't don't feel bad about not being locked in. Honestly,
like soccer podcast hosts missing the game that they're talking
about is like a part of the industry, Like fucking
like Alan Shearer never watches every game on an episode
of This is Football. You always got a charity event.

Speaker 4 (28:37):
Yeah, yeah, that's true. But when you're like watching it
in that context, you're not like it's a distract Yeah,
because yeah, I'm like, I'm not going, Oh, I'm not
every time I look, I'm I'm in I'm looking at Oh,
we're pretty good.

Speaker 2 (28:51):
It was very end to end.

Speaker 4 (28:52):
It was like it was it was perfect for a
bunch of people on cocaine.

Speaker 2 (28:56):
It was just like it was just like, wow, it's good.

Speaker 4 (28:59):
Yeah, you don't want to see you don't want to
see rolled slow build up game when you're on loads
of for pub dust. It was but I do, I
will say I did, And then I got home. Then
I got home after I drunk too. I watched the
second half at home and it was too intense to
me vie.

Speaker 1 (29:20):
Your ambient le. Too many people were flying on cocaine
with this boy. I can't even I can't even watch
this man. I was too distracting.

Speaker 4 (29:26):
So then I went, But I did drink like two
and a half again, I had to and half guinnesses
quite quickly got home and an easter eggs watching the
second half. But I actually thought I was on my
own of cocaine. I was j I was on Jesus' cocaine.
But I actually thought Arsenal, everyone's like a disgrace and

(29:49):
as I actually thought, they played okay and just got
a little bit unlucky because of individual rors, but because
of the context of it, it's like Southampton and also
played like missings, so many of the very key players
to winning again.

Speaker 1 (30:03):
Oh yeah, we the spine was screwed team.

Speaker 2 (30:07):
Yeah.

Speaker 3 (30:07):
Yeah. Once I saw Keiper, I looked at the team sheet,
I saw a long name that started with the letter A,
and I said, I'm this is wrap.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
We got ari YadA and Barri Yaga and Beatssa from
the Simpsons out there whoever?

Speaker 4 (30:23):
Yeah, I mean, like when you look at that five
millions do we pay? Everyone's like, well, boggain, that feels expensive.
I don't know right now.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
We just kicked two trophies in the ass with this
motherfucker and goal. I mean not that this was all
on uh Kepa, but like everybody looked terrible.

Speaker 2 (30:39):
I mean a lot of people except for Max Dowman.

Speaker 1 (30:42):
But I do want to get to who looked at
Like I think I was saying this in our text threat.
I was like, look, a match like this, it just
makes it clear who the fuck is not making the
cut anymore. And the place is that we have to
get really real about if we're going to have a
team with this kind of fluency and fluidity from you know,
from competition, the competition with different elevens. The quality just

(31:03):
has to be better. Like Ben White, I'm sorry, bro,
it's time. I think it's time this summer, you know
what I mean, Thank you, but it's it's just not
working out right now.

Speaker 3 (31:13):
I mean, he'll go destroy Siria, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (31:17):
Yeah, I mean, and look between his injuries and things
like that, there was just he's just not the same player.
And I think for where we're at and where we're aspiring,
like we just don't Unfortunately, we don't have like the
margins to be like, oh okay, you completely missed that
header and that led to a goal. Although Max Dowman
on that goal could have got his ass back, he
was asleep defensively that I.

Speaker 2 (31:36):
Was like, sixteen year old. He wants to do the
fun stuff.

Speaker 1 (31:39):
He was exactly fun, stuffy Gabby.

Speaker 2 (31:42):
Heyesus my guy, thank you, but no thank you.

Speaker 4 (31:46):
I sort of lot of tweets about thank you for
the three months in twenty twenty two, but.

Speaker 2 (31:54):
Since then, since the knee.

Speaker 1 (31:56):
Wait, exactly that first half right before the fucking World
Cup and cutter bro he was he had me believe.

Speaker 2 (32:02):
I was like, this is what we fucking needed.

Speaker 1 (32:04):
This guy is like a fucking down electric wire in
the middle of the street, like you can't get near
him and it's freaking you out. I am living in
a still. Yeah, I know, We'll get to the pit
in a second. What about Miles not me? Lewis Kelly,
I it feels like the lot like he's just been

(32:24):
it's been diminishing return since the highs of that City
match last season.

Speaker 4 (32:29):
Well, I do feel a bit unlucky for him because
last season We're gonna get tactical on this. He was
an inverted fullback a lot and essentially playing as a midfielder,
which is his position. He's got very press resistant. He's
not great one on one defender, which this season Arteta
to platform Rice better as a box The box midfielder

(32:53):
has made the left back state left back, so he's
just kind of gets a bit hung out to driving
by the system every time there's talk of like, man,
you wanted him and stuff, and I think that would
be bad. I don't know, I feel bad like these guys,
these young players come through and look amazing they are,
then they always have a they do hit a slight
wall with Arteta, but yeah, he just I guess if

(33:15):
he's not tactically what he needs then yeah, you know what,
you know what's on the cards with Michel.

Speaker 1 (33:21):
Yeah, it's just been I think like with the performances,
I've just been like, damn, bro, you don't you kind
of look a shell of yourself like it. Even there's
some just the errors and things like that, it just
didn't feel like it could be the pressure. I don't know.
I would like because I am named after him. My
parents named me after him. Yeah yeah, yeah, and I
told him to do that, even though the spelling is off.

Speaker 4 (33:43):
Beforehand, you had a different arsenal player's name. Who was
you have to change your name if he gets sold
to me?

Speaker 1 (33:47):
Yeah, yeah, Max, my name was Junichi Inamoto. Okay, Yeah,
for the one of the first Japanese players that ever
played for Arsenal Bear.

Speaker 2 (33:57):
I don't even think he played in the Premier League.

Speaker 1 (33:59):
For them once, but yeah, it was definitely like one
of those performances that makes you get freaked out when
you're like, we just lost this car to care about
cup final. We're losing this to a to lower league opposition,
which is not a good look. If I'm gonna cope,
I go, yeah, bro, we we didn't put a team

(34:19):
out there where our teed was like, I'm not fucking around, bro,
We're getting to the fucking semifinals of the FA Cup.

Speaker 2 (34:24):
Like fuck all that. He definitely played for a team that.

Speaker 1 (34:26):
Was like these these guys should be able to beat
Southampton if if the faith that I'm having in them
and looking at them, this should be enough quality to
beat them. But unfortunately, just a lot of people didn't
show up.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
I'm just gonna give Southampton a little credit because yeah,
absolutely it's a home game. They're a championship team. That's
actually not that big of an advantage. Like I think, like,
these people are hungry, bro, They're playing in fucking they're
in the G league.

Speaker 2 (34:56):
They're playing how the US needs to be playing.

Speaker 3 (34:58):
Yeah, exactly, Bro, they're in the fucking B League, all right, Yeah,
they'll die for.

Speaker 1 (35:03):
This ship, but you know, luckily. But the thing is, too,
we have history and our history is very mixed. It's
it's not been straight out domination from from us with them,
so they're kind of they're one of those teams too
that look at us and they're like, bro, we can
have that, like and we've done it before. We fucked
up their Christmases before with some results or something. Yeah yeah, yeah, no,

(35:26):
I mean like the their stewart is that their striker,
bro he was his big ass was giving us problems too.

Speaker 4 (35:32):
He give a ship out to to Shay Charles, who
just is so close to being cool.

Speaker 2 (35:38):
It's like some TV Wonder.

Speaker 3 (35:46):
TV Wonder is little TV Wonder.

Speaker 1 (35:53):
That is a great display name on old Twitter, called
me TV Wonder.

Speaker 4 (35:59):
It's the it's the International Superstar Soccer like motion work.
For some reason, they've got they've got old blinds musicians
names get the rights eleven. Oh my god, Charles Man,
what if that golf? Oh god, that was that's one nowhere.

(36:20):
That is one that is the weird thing by watching
these cups. So you can't help but just be I
was watching it a bitterly. Like I said, I've come
out of essentially a war zone. I was eating Easter.

Speaker 1 (36:31):
You're like fucking Tom Hanks And that d D landing
scene in private Ryan with explosing goals off was.

Speaker 2 (36:35):
Like I was like, this is it.

Speaker 4 (36:40):
But then it went in and I was like, all right,
there's two less games. Like that's how I That just
shows my real emotion. Like if that's a league game
of the Champions League, I'm I'm going I'm going back
to that pub, mate, Yeah, the pub does that?

Speaker 8 (36:55):
I'm like, give me some funny like your wife's like,
think of your son. You're like, no, I don't got
one no more. If I'm going to the pit, well
in the pit, I'm in the pub. Yeah, that is
I definitely looked. If I'm looking at the positives. To

(37:15):
your point, it's two less games.

Speaker 1 (37:18):
The thing that's fucked up is we went from being
competing on four fronts and have that shit.

Speaker 2 (37:23):
In a matter of weeks down to two. But to
be honest, those are the two that matter.

Speaker 1 (37:28):
The most to me personally, and I think I think
to the club, these are the two that matter the most.
I feel like you win the Champions League or the
Premier League, you've bought yourself more time. I think the
Premier League feels like the one that absolutely has to
be one, given our point advantage and just how far
we've come that that has to happen. But like I
want to be able to say like it doesn't matter,

(37:50):
it felt like it should because we were we were
demonstrably doing so well that it made sense to sort
of be like, okay, this we could potentially in four
different things. But I think that's where the depth and
the injuries and just the overall strain on the squad
kind of revealed itself.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
Limping into this ship man, for sure, I saw as
a uh a practice.

Speaker 2 (38:15):
As he posted game, he.

Speaker 3 (38:19):
Posted Happy Easter, and then it was.

Speaker 2 (38:22):
Back with any Bible, any Bible verses.

Speaker 3 (38:25):
Just that he has risen just a classic.

Speaker 2 (38:27):
It better be a three sixteen, you know what I mean.

Speaker 3 (38:30):
No, he did he posted verse he posted ship where
Jesus hopped out the cave like peepe, I'm back.

Speaker 2 (38:36):
Oh did he? Oh wow?

Speaker 3 (38:40):
So he gave himself he's he's in the Easter basket
with it. Maybe that's okay, that's a little good news
and Gabrielle was at practice and and Arteta was acting
weird as hell. He made he had them all like
holding hands.

Speaker 2 (38:55):
Hold holding hands with them pens.

Speaker 3 (38:57):
Yeah, like with pens and then like uh yeah, like
to hold the ball up like it was like it
looked nuts.

Speaker 4 (39:06):
You know, you know, yeah, yeah, there's you got to
look at the video this, you know, you know he
you know, you're on the verge of a three three
match losing streak when he starts whipping out the yeah, thems,
the Lincoln yeah, you get they start doing improv like
you know yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:24):
Okay, guys, we're gonna do a little more structure. So
first we're gonna start off with where we are and
what the big day is. Okay, that'll make it easier, guys,
because usually an improv the onus is on the person
who's speaking first in the scene. So we're gonna say,
it's the fucking f A Cup quarterfinal, guys, and you're
playing Southampton and you're gonna fucking beat them.

Speaker 3 (39:42):
Guys.

Speaker 1 (39:42):
Let me see what that looks like, motherfuckers.

Speaker 3 (39:46):
This this ship, this video for today look like guys,
if we don't win against Sporting tomorrow, the next time
we do this drill, it is going to be on
the edge of a cliff. You're like, it's going to
be on the line. We're at Cally right now, but
we will be on the cliffs of Dover doing this
exact same ship if you keeping.

Speaker 2 (40:04):
Around walking the plank. Yeah, I mean that's the thing.

Speaker 1 (40:08):
Is like I'm thinking of, like, Okay, well, who's gonna
come back into the team, you know, like from that'll
be different from this, that from what we just saw
against Southampton, And I'm like, okay, as a maybe, but
he's still like a doubt.

Speaker 2 (40:20):
It seems like it's also you're gonna is not going
to be out for is out.

Speaker 3 (40:28):
I don't want to see Socca for I don't want
to see someone my city.

Speaker 2 (40:32):
Big Gabby Rice and Tross Art or fit.

Speaker 1 (40:36):
But I'm looking at cross Art and I'm like, bro,
you've you're You're in a you're in a valley right
now right now.

Speaker 2 (40:44):
Absolute draw.

Speaker 4 (40:45):
But Socca, at least with Socca this year, you've got Madawak,
You've got someone who can If Gabrielle will Rice aro out,
you are a bit screwed there because that there's not
I was just trying to think it would be if
you don't have Celebri and Gabrielle like those guys again
pretty scarers looked not ready at this point in the

(41:07):
running to fill any boots there, but and Rice again
pretty replaceable. Sokka is still our best player, I believe,
but Madawa k is decent. And then I mean Dowmond
for the last I think the lack of tracking back
from him means he's the last ten minute dude.

Speaker 2 (41:23):
You can't really yeah.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
But I mean, how well he was our best player
in that match. He had the most duels one, he
had the most dribbles in the opposition box.

Speaker 2 (41:33):
He was doing it.

Speaker 1 (41:35):
So at the very least, I think he made his
point that you know, look, bro, if you need something,
I'm here. I don't think it's fair to be like, Okay, Broll,
we're going to count on you for the run in here.
But I think at the very least it's like, okay,
so that is something that can be deployed when needed.

Speaker 4 (41:51):
But do you think City You think City are like
they're thinking, here we go.

Speaker 2 (41:55):
It's happening.

Speaker 1 (41:56):
It depends on I think it probably depends on the results. Right,
Like if we dropped her born, if we drop points
going into that match against It.

Speaker 2 (42:04):
Just depend on the results.

Speaker 1 (42:05):
Yeah yeah, but I mean that's the big one because
like if we if you know, like if they if
they drop points to against Chelsea, that's definitely a huge
and like we don't, that'll be huge going into our motherfuckers.

Speaker 3 (42:19):
I mean, Chelsea's fucking it off. They're fucking suspending players
and Chelsea all the Chelsea players don't want to.

Speaker 4 (42:29):
And we'll get to that Corella Enzo and then there's
just chatting and then I was like, it's a weird
ban our old mate Liam's done on it on and
so he missed the seven er win over Port. I
mean that's not really a big banning, is it. Like
that was never you know, that game was easy for them.
Were even from the first goal, no one bothered celebrating, right,

(42:53):
they were like this is this doesn't county exactly.

Speaker 2 (42:56):
This won't be that sort of funny meme.

Speaker 4 (43:00):
Do you ever see that Michael Owen skills like video,
like you know back in day when in the late
nineties early naughties where full players would have like, Hey,
I'm Michael Owen, this is my video and how to
be really good at football. Yeah, he's he plays, he
does his like one on ones, but against a thirteen
year old goalie and he just buries it each time.

(43:22):
So the meme was like, should up, mate, he's thirteen. Yeah,
that's what it felt like. Watch this ship. Look at
you get your weight up, kid, Maybe you can stop.

Speaker 2 (43:32):
You want you want to go? You want to go?

Speaker 3 (43:34):
That's it.

Speaker 2 (43:35):
You're pathetic, you're weak.

Speaker 4 (43:36):
Yeah, it't even got pubes, mate, he's and he's a
late developer.

Speaker 3 (43:43):
What was I going to say?

Speaker 4 (43:44):
But yeah, no, obviously Chelsea won that and a good
But you're right then, but he's going to be He's
going to be banned for the Man City game, which
I don't know, doesn't that feels like significant But maybe
not because also I've read a stat where they lose
a lot when he plays them. But yeah, you're right
if City drop points there and there's a chance.

Speaker 3 (44:03):
And Soo showed up to training in blackface, Yeah you know,
maybe the banning was warranted. Maybe the banning was warranted.

Speaker 2 (44:11):
Yeah, you never know, you never know.

Speaker 1 (44:12):
All right, let's take one more break and we can
wrap up some loose sands. Some some things have happened
to around thee that we can touch.

Speaker 2 (44:19):
On right after it and we're back. Oh we just
do one one one shout out by the way, Yeah.

Speaker 4 (44:39):
You could put in west Ham leads tie, yeah, tie
of the tie of the f A Cup round just
the west I'm scored after the ninth minute, got two
goals and then from the clutches of defeat, still managed
to reblow defeat.

Speaker 3 (44:58):
Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 2 (45:00):
But I'm so painful to have that.

Speaker 3 (45:02):
We're kidding.

Speaker 1 (45:03):
That was one thing I was thinking, Like in our
match against Southampton, I was like, bro, I don't even draw, Bro,
we don't even need this ship just full.

Speaker 4 (45:11):
Yeah you don't want do you see the video of
the west Ham fan afterwards? They left early And then
there's a bloke is online where he's holding his phone
up and his mates facetiming the penalty shootout because him
in a bunch of West Hamps have already left the
stadium and what the hell and they're just outside of
shop on FaceTime watching the last.

Speaker 2 (45:35):
But yeah, both It's interesting.

Speaker 4 (45:36):
I thought both teams wouldn't care about that game because
they badly not to get relegated, but both really wanted it.

Speaker 3 (45:42):
Man. People got to think, yeah, we're the only ones
who don't like those.

Speaker 1 (45:48):
Yeah, we've got to have allergy to finals. It feels
like that's you know, That's why I'm trying to I'll
save all my anger for it to be righteous if
if we really fuck it all up at the end.
But I'm still again, I have to stay in the
positive because.

Speaker 2 (46:04):
I'm at Arsenal Bournemouth.

Speaker 4 (46:05):
By the way, So my messages managed to cute me
and ticket as a little present.

Speaker 2 (46:11):
Miles.

Speaker 4 (46:11):
She said she was texting me to see if you
had a connect and then realized that you and herd
met ten years ago.

Speaker 2 (46:15):
Yeah, yeah, it was crazy.

Speaker 1 (46:17):
I produced a video for Wired magazine because I directed
a video that was about which like home assistant could
understand different English accents, so it was like Alexa versus
Google or whatever. So I had like a Scottish accent,
Italian accent, Japanese accent, and Matt Kirshon, this British comedian,
the English comedian I know, he was like, oh, I

(46:37):
know a scott That's how your wife came into the mix.
And it was just wild because yeah, she texted me
and I looked and I was like, you talked very much.

Speaker 2 (46:43):
Twenty sixteen, I was like, what the and.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
I put it all together, I'm like, oh my god,
what we we met years ago? Look at us now.
But anyway you're going to be They're going to be
at the Bourne Myth match.

Speaker 3 (46:57):
I need.

Speaker 2 (46:57):
I don't know if you need to bring the Billies.
I don't know if you need to bring some kind
of energy and I might do you know what Nellie
bought and you obviously my crystal.

Speaker 4 (47:05):
I forgot to bring my crystals, man NELLI just I
was a farm with my son and they were selling one.

Speaker 2 (47:09):
Pound fifty crystals.

Speaker 3 (47:10):
I was like Nelly Grabb on that.

Speaker 2 (47:12):
But yeah maybe I didn't.

Speaker 4 (47:13):
We lost, so maybe yeah, maybe maybe a trip to
that farm again.

Speaker 3 (47:17):
I don't know. Yeah, I don't only get too reliant
on them. Michael B. Jordan is still like an invested
in Barmouth, right, yeah, yeah, you should watch like the
middle section of Sinners where when one of them dies,
watch where he kills one of them, you know what
I mean? No, don't watch the end though, just that.

Speaker 6 (47:39):
Where sixty Yeah yeah, yeah, you're gonna be funny, like yo,
you don't start doing the Micha wil b.

Speaker 1 (47:50):
Jordan's like put pop in fruit Vale Station Okay, we're
doing them all.

Speaker 2 (47:56):
We're trying to put that energy out there.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
Episode of the Wire where they kill him. Yeah yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (48:06):
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah, pre Chin and Plant all right,
so deserve me at Tottenham.

Speaker 2 (48:13):
It's happened. It's something like a five year deal. Uh dude.

Speaker 1 (48:18):
I mean part of me is like, is there is
there a relegation clause?

Speaker 2 (48:22):
It's wild to hop in there.

Speaker 1 (48:23):
It's like, okay, man, you know, it's like when you're
playing a video game as a kid, and it's like,
you know, you used to only have like three lives
in a Nintendo game before you just start the entire
game fucking over and ship like three continues. They're on
their last continue and this guy just said, hey man,
you're on the first level and we got to get
to eight more levels.

Speaker 2 (48:39):
Can you get through this without dying once?

Speaker 3 (48:41):
Please?

Speaker 2 (48:42):
And if you do, you're gonna have a great job.

Speaker 1 (48:44):
And if not, I don't know, man, Sorry, this might
be all fucked up, but yeah, he is now at
the helm of Tottenham Hotspur. I'm I don't know if
this changes any I don't know.

Speaker 2 (48:54):
I don't know if this has changed how anybody feels.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Although it's also hard for me to give a fuck
about what's going on, because now soul focused on what
we're doing. Fucking ignored these motherfuckers right now.

Speaker 3 (49:04):
And how was from the best, because.

Speaker 2 (49:07):
For sure, which are the best?

Speaker 1 (49:11):
Man, Roberto, do your thing, my guy, go up, take
take keep them, guide them the safety.

Speaker 3 (49:17):
They actually keep saying it. They just gotta come up
with one win.

Speaker 2 (49:22):
Yeah, exactly.

Speaker 4 (49:24):
It's interesting because everyone's like, he's good, but he he
he rattles some cages. Yeah, I mean it seem it
feels like Tudor did that, but I think Schudor did
that while also rattling all the tactical knowledge of every
I mean, he just changed his tactics every five seconds. Yeah,
didn't stop playing the back forth for the first time
in his career. God knows how it will go, but

(49:48):
he had that. He has apologized for being pro Mason Greenwood.

Speaker 3 (49:51):
He had to.

Speaker 4 (49:52):
He had to come out and do that, which is
a weird one because some people are like, you know,
I'm sure cynical people are just doing it.

Speaker 2 (49:57):
But I mean, at least he was pretty he it was.

Speaker 4 (50:00):
It was a pretty apology apology, but very easy to
do that when the player no longer plays your team. Yeah,
he actually I don't know in facts he engaged with it.

Speaker 2 (50:09):
Maybe he's trying to win the fans of it.

Speaker 4 (50:11):
But we'll see, we'll see they only care about him
winning games though.

Speaker 3 (50:15):
I'm pretty sure yea, yeah, well it was like, you know,
I know their fans were on the fence about tutor
because it's like it is too late to make a change.
He's starting to get results if we if we pull
him now, are we fucked for sure? But I feel
like Deservey's just the big enough name and.

Speaker 1 (50:34):
Young enough, just young enough to yeah, yeah, yeah, he'll
get into some asses and he'll actually probably command a
little bit more respect than like this random ass substitute
teacher who didn't even teach in your district before, and
it's coming in here now acting confused because he didn't
know how rowdy this classroom.

Speaker 2 (50:48):
Was going to be.

Speaker 4 (50:49):
Come on, Deservee looks like someone that you see on
holiday who has just the.

Speaker 2 (50:54):
Craziest jeans, do you know what I mean? Like yeah,
oh the gene.

Speaker 3 (51:01):
Religious symbols on them.

Speaker 4 (51:02):
Yeah, so many symbols, so many, like whole like intentional
holes like yeah yeah on the front of the.

Speaker 3 (51:11):
Us.

Speaker 4 (51:12):
Yeah, just random zips, random zips as well, like zips
with even to pockets.

Speaker 2 (51:18):
The zips to like far off realm.

Speaker 3 (51:20):
He does.

Speaker 1 (51:21):
That's trying to create common common ground in the locker room.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
He steps in day one with is huh, guys, what
do you think?

Speaker 3 (51:27):
Yeah myself, Yeah.

Speaker 2 (51:30):
Hey guys.

Speaker 1 (51:31):
Yeah, like my sneakers are Alexander McQueen. They got a
big spike on the toe anyway. Oh man, But yeah,
I guess before we go, just a preview of things
to come. We got the Champions League coming up. Arsenal
going to Ports, you go to play Sporting Liverpool will
be playing psg uh. So those will be some interesting

(51:55):
interesting ties for those of us watching the Premier League
and the Champions League.

Speaker 3 (52:00):
Just gonna end up winning this whole thing again.

Speaker 2 (52:03):
I mean, they they're running rampant.

Speaker 4 (52:05):
They don't have to play, they don't even have to
play league game. They're canceling league games. They yeah, yeah, exactly,
they know what to do. You know, They're like that
a full steam ahead, and I'll like, I.

Speaker 1 (52:15):
Mean, if we can just get someone scoring fucking goals
for these last few matches like we have, we can
get something.

Speaker 2 (52:21):
I'm just gotta that's the difference. That's the difference between
the prem and and the French League.

Speaker 4 (52:25):
The frenchly they just fully cancel against Artexes have to
sort of just quietly give tiny injuries to players because
they obviously the injuries seem like legitimate because he's played,
unless he's like fully just like like trying to.

Speaker 2 (52:38):
Lost his eyes. Yeah, misery. Yeah, he's got to like
get like a tiny stab wound.

Speaker 4 (52:45):
So it's enough to get you in the building, but
not enough to kill you.

Speaker 1 (52:48):
But I'm sorry, Yeah, Martin, I'm sorry. You're gonna have
to get a leggy. Get my guy a leggy.

Speaker 4 (52:57):
That's what That's what the pens before the pens are
for giving people stabs.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
Believe bridn't even hit an arteriy Man, sit your rest down,
get on that training table, all right, Well, anything else
before we head on out.

Speaker 3 (53:11):
