00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:11.919
Hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Wherever you're listening,
2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.679
we're back. We had a little mini break, but we're back.
3
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:22.879
Welcome to another episode. No another episode, forgot not another
4
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.160
couple's podcast, because we're a couple, aren't we.
5
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.039
So far, so far we've.
6
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.519
Made four years, twenty five years, next year we've got
7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:31.399
he's married.
8
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.479
But twenty nine years as a couple.
9
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:37.200
It's quite long, isn't it.
10
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.079
It is okay, but I don't know how it works
11
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.759
because we're only twenty seven, so I don't have you're
12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.640
very old. So lo's happened. But the most important thing
13
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.439
in seems to be in everybody's minds. We're not massive
14
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:01.079
football fans generally, We're not like a football household rugby.
15
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.959
We're more rugby potential in this house. However, the big
16
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.799
stuff we do tend to watch a bit more.
17
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:10.640
So the international.
18
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.640
Yeah, I mean, obviously the Champions League Arsenal thing was
19
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:16.200
quite a big deal, and we have friends who are
20
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.959
a massive Arsenal fans, so we're sort of involved via them.
21
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.280
Say as an Arsenal I mean, I'm impartial, but I
22
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.519
like Arsenal and it was brilliant. They got to the final.
23
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.719
But I've got a feel for those two players who
24
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.599
actually missed the goal. It's fair enough if the keeper
25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.560
saves it, but that must torment them for a very
26
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.120
long time.
27
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.200
Yeah, and there's been a lot of shots that iconic
28
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.120
shot of the PSG player coming over to hug his
29
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.599
rest of his team. I don't know the player fortunately, Sorry,
30
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.319
I don't know the names about sure, millions of people
31
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.599
shouted the name of me right now.
32
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:50.959
Yeah.
33
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.239
I like that, you know, because they feel they they've
34
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.319
all you know, they feel how that would feel themselves.
35
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.879
I can't think of a more pressurized situation playing a penalty.
36
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.840
It's awful, especially because the walk from the halfway.
37
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.120
But I think also because it's gone on like you know,
38
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.599
they've done their five and then it's like the continuation.
39
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.879
It's like level and then you think, you hope that
40
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.159
you're never you know, you're not going to be that
41
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.000
sixth or seventh player that's got to step up and
42
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:14.280
take it.
43
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.800
You hope would you be rather to be the first
44
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.439
one five or.
45
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.599
I'd like to be like number three or something.
46
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.800
Okay, but with your toepunk.
47
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.080
Well it probably literally have gone right up into the
48
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:25.759
crowd or.
49
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.879
Killed the keeper. You have got a good they still
50
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.680
teach a top a little friends, I.
51
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.240
Mean, why wouldn't they. It's like a classic. I don't
52
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.639
they actually teach it, but they put a different just
53
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.039
fiddling with my questions again.
54
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.240
Yea World Cup in the States, they've all just papers
55
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:44.759
moving on.
56
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.840
World Cup starts eleventh of June.
57
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.120
And I saw Rashford went there early with his personal
58
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.919
coach to do some conditioning, so before the English squad
59
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:53.800
who arrived today.
60
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.759
But it's been held in three hosts, three host areas,
61
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:03.439
so Canada you were, say a Mexican see But yeah,
62
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.639
it's quite a lot going on. I think that's quite
63
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.159
I mean, imagine holding it in one country spanner, but
64
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.719
trying to coordinate so many people who.
65
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.560
Used to internal flights in the States that you know
66
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.599
businessmen will fly to you. It's not like the flying
67
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:23.000
to make sure in Canada would still be five hour flight.
68
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.120
I don't know. It's a long way. Yeah, you're right,
69
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.439
it's a long way and different times. That's the pain.
70
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.960
So I think I think they've made most of the
71
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.879
England Games relatively friendly to I tell you.
72
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.840
I have them. I know this information because I researched
73
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.919
these things on. So I'm going to just look at
74
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.039
my little paper. Sorry, So I'm going to talk about
75
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.719
England and Scotland doing so a lot. We are one
76
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:50.520
copying here, that's your thing. So England's first game is
77
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.639
against Croatia on the seventeenth June. Good and that's what
78
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.520
thanks cooler, Yes, eight pm. I have actually put in
79
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.199
the time down here. I did write down earlist Garaner
80
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.199
twenty third of June. I think that's like nineteen Africa
81
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.960
either eight nine ten or nine ten eleven.
82
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.199
The games at two three in the morning.
83
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.199
So Scotland blessed them. I think they've got two o'clock
84
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.560
in the morning. It gives Haiti Haiati. So they've got Haiti,
85
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.639
Morocco and Brazil Scotland.
86
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.279
We've got quite a tough group. Second in the Africans Nations.
87
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.199
Panama don't know.
88
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:27.959
That they're doing a nice canal.
89
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:32.839
Did you have a tumbleweed? Then?
90
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:33.519
It was good?
91
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.279
It was very good. I think you are probably the best.
92
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:46.319
Soball right, so there's been a few people missed out.
93
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.560
Well, come on, we won it in nineteen sixty six.
94
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.480
Let's talk about that for another.
95
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.040
We're going to make it through the group stage, as
96
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.120
we normally do hopefully, and then everyone will get super
97
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.439
excited and say, right, this is it, this is the year,
98
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.720
this is it, this is in the last World Cup.
99
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.399
We played, Let's get this right. We got through, we
100
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.399
played okay, was it the first game? They lost a cut?
101
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:10.079
Remember cut member? But the expectation.
102
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.319
Who won the last World Cup?
103
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:19.560
France? Oh, France won the one before, didn't they France?
104
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.600
It was correct, they were in the final? And who.
105
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:27.360
This question?
106
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.199
I don't know what I'm asking you questions?
107
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:30.199
I'm good.
108
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:41.000
Who is the England manager? German not French?
109
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.720
That yeah, I call him.
110
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:45.680
First. What's his first name?
111
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.279
I'm going to say Frankfurt mm hmm. Glor Glorian Thomas,
112
00:05:52.879 --> 00:06:01.959
Thomas Thomas. So there's been a few he hasn't taken.
113
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.399
Who has he not taking? McGuire? Is it not taking
114
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.199
one of the leaders? Yeah? I wonder. I think the
115
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.279
players before there was all this taught that, you know,
116
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.759
the club meant more to them than playing for the country.
117
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.360
I don't think that's the case now. I think what's
118
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.279
his name? Southgate did a very good thing of bringing
119
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.079
back this sense of national pride and playing for your country.
120
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.360
Because obviously Fleet Minfling were watching really old episodes of League.
121
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:34.759
Was it called Leron or yeah, James Cordney's that's something
122
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.959
I've never ever ever said ever, probably never will thankfully,
123
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:51.040
because that's weird that. So Jamie lost its very early
124
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.879
in the morning. Can't actually cope with us, Jamie, Jamie Redner.
125
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.920
We're saying that when he was growing up, you know,
126
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.160
their whole thing was to play for their country. Was
127
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.399
the biggest, proudest moment to be selected for your country,
128
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.439
whatever your country was. Because there was a player on
129
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.160
that I can't remember again, Flynn was like, I don't
130
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:12.759
know why this player is on the show because he
131
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.680
can't really speak English like well, and you know he
132
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:19.319
was he was either Beckham well that as well, but no,
133
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.879
he was playing for Italy, but he was born somewhere
134
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.720
else I can't remember. So anyway, so he was saying,
135
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:26.920
you know, I can get that you want to play
136
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.560
for your country, and obviously he said, well, why it
137
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.800
is because I grew up there. You know, he left
138
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.319
wherever he first was born when he was like ten
139
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.160
or something. He spent most of his life right in Italy,
140
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.600
so that sort of makes sense. So obviously he had
141
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.680
a choice, but obviously Italy quite good generally at football
142
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.560
and stuff. So but yeah, Jamie Reddat was saying, literally,
143
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.000
playing for your country is one of the proudest things
144
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.079
and like the thing that really drives you because obviously
145
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.639
playing for your pay for your club, and you know
146
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.000
they're getting paid head loads of money.
147
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.879
Generally they get paid to play for England England Rugby
148
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.480
do so I see England footballmuster as well. So someone
149
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:09.360
told me that if they won the Championship final PSG
150
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.199
player's got a million pounds bonus each.
151
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.040
Because they need the money, bless them.
152
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.160
Well someone's paying good for them. If you're an agent,
153
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:21.800
you'd be like, well three million whatever it is. It's amazing.
154
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.240
It is an obscene amount of money. But they're all
155
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.120
getting this sort of similar treatment across the Premiership anyway,
156
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.560
I mean further down the line, but I mean compared
157
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.320
to other sports is probably Formula one, maybe tennis, those things.
158
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.600
Golf are similar, but they're the big.
159
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.360
Big ground kiss Chase.
160
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.159
And Crok.
161
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:48.360
They don't call it table tennis table tennis.
162
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.679
So anyway, back to the World Cup. We are in
163
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.919
it to win it. As always the favorites. Did you
164
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:05.480
look up the odds? Spain CLA, France must be up there.
165
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.080
Still we're like fourth or something or fourth or fifth favorite,
166
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:15.600
but we are And Ronaldo? Can we just talk about
167
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.080
him for a second. Forty one years old, yes, and
168
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.120
going to be playing in his sixth World Cup.
169
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.159
But he's not the only person that's played six, No,
170
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.559
he is.
171
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.159
Yeah, I think he's at six. I think Messi. And
172
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:35.240
who's the other one? Someone else who's been around a
173
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:35.720
long time?
174
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:38.120
Oh, I don't know, but.
175
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.320
I think Messi hasn't played as many.
176
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.399
Milner James mother football has just retired and he's forty
177
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.480
how old? Ronaldo? Someone was trying to.
178
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.720
Play in six World Cups?
179
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:57.320
That's football. Talking about athleticism and professionalism, he hits as
180
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.639
a nice few little stepovers. But compared to Messi, who
181
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:03.799
has just so talented, doesn't really train that hard. Just
182
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.759
he's taken it very seriously and that's what's prolonged his career.
183
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.480
But he's actually not the most amazing football and his
184
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.919
vertical jump who talk about vertical jumping, he's amazing.
185
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.679
He's athleticism As an athlete generally, he probably could have
186
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.919
been quite good at a lot of other sports as
187
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.440
well as tennis.
188
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:26.679
I don't know. Yes, yeah, so.
189
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:29.759
Because of his sort of I suppose because of his
190
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.360
training and he's you know, he's quite focused, or comes
191
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.559
across that way. I don't know him personally, obviously never
192
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.360
met him, but comes across now comes across as being
193
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.320
extremely focused individual.
194
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.360
Who's the best athlete person you've ever met? He thought, like,
195
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.919
my god, this person's another level. Mark Roberts, thank you.
196
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.480
Apart from him and me professional rugby player in the.
197
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.679
Making, who have you met and gone bloody hell?
198
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.559
The not famous or not famous.
199
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.840
Someone we know or well just someone who was at
200
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:06.799
the top of their getting that you think, well, yeah, famous.
201
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.000
Re Reichy, that's a question to spring upon me.
202
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.720
I remember when I went to Club La Santa and
203
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.799
we used to train in a pre season. Yes, Frank
204
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:23.480
Bruno was their trade and him as an athlete, he
205
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.799
was phenomenal. The stuff he was doing in the gym.
206
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.039
Forget the boxing side of things, but his movement patterns
207
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.360
and seven for a big man. We were like we
208
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.960
had yeah, we had sprinters and throwers there as well,
209
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.879
and he just humbled them. The stuff.
210
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.960
You know, you would say, actually, it's probably the person
211
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.519
I know and have worked with is Lightning from Gladiators
212
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.840
back in the nineties. I mean she was a gymnas
213
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:53.639
gyms generally we tend to have quite good all round strength, speed, agility,
214
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.919
awareness and thing. I've never seen her do lots of
215
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.159
other book but she's none of his sports. But she's
216
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.039
just still I think, still incredible ethic, which she went
217
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:06.600
obviously starting body gymnastics, bodybuilding, but just her. She's fast,
218
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.960
she's really strong for her size, it's tiny.
219
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.080
She likes Simone Biles, Yeah, but she's not like.
220
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.960
Built like Simone Barles. She's quite lean and longer limbed
221
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:21.559
if you like. But just her, I think she's also again,
222
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:27.600
incredibly driven human being. I would say out of the
223
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:32.559
gladiators that I know female, obviously James Hunter again probably
224
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.200
if he's as much bodybuilding and wrecked his body doing
225
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.039
various other things, he's probably because he turns, you know,
226
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:41.480
he can do that. You know, he does like the
227
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:47.320
strength stuff, but then he could also do ham hand gongs. Yeah.
228
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.320
So the people that I've worked with that I know,
229
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.879
I've just but yeah, I think just them. You know,
230
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.919
Ronaldo doing six World Cups is pretty amazing. But the
231
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.480
problem is, you know he's one player in our whole team,
232
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.879
so you know one player can make a big difference,
233
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.879
but you also need everybody.
234
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.639
Else to look at Rooney at soccer aide.
235
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.480
Be at the same level.
236
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.039
He was amazing.
237
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:11.639
I didn't actually see his bit.
238
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.279
Well it's just as touched. But actually we were watching
239
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.519
and he did a couple of accelerations. You're like, okay,
240
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.320
it's still move he's carrying a bit of timber. But
241
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.559
he did a free kick which nearly went in, which
242
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.799
was amazing. So he's yeah, I guess you don't need it,
243
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.240
like scored like four goals or something. He scored two
244
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.799
and then they took him off. But he's got he's
245
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.000
played and he's got the most goals for all I
246
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.480
don't split all of them because it's been twenty years
247
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:38.919
so he would have been I don't think they were
248
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.840
picked him for England if he was twenty or whatever
249
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:41.960
he is because he's four.
250
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:43.559
I don't know.
251
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:48.360
But yeah, yeah, Joe Marler and goal which was entertaining.
252
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.080
That's funny, very funny. So big sporting events for you,
253
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.879
what memorably Okay, what is the biggest sporting event that
254
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:57.559
you've been physically.
255
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:57.799
To go and watch.
256
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.799
I guess we been to Athens Olympics. That was cool
257
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:07.279
being in Greece, the home of the OLYMPIAD four. Then
258
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.440
actually I thought the Paralympics here in twenty twelve were phenomenal.
259
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.279
It's really cool. I thought that it's the best thing
260
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.960
in London's ever done. I thought it was just the
261
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.960
atmosphere was so well organized. What do they call them,
262
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:23.480
They can call them volunteers. Weren't helpers. They had a
263
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.480
name that everyone that helped out and they were amazing.
264
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:26.960
Mum.
265
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.399
That was the time when who was it that let
266
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:30.840
them down and they had to bring the army in
267
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.759
for security checks? Who were so good, they were so friendly.
268
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.879
I forget which company it was that let them down.
269
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.519
One of the big security companies.
270
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.879
It makes sense. It's the job. It's like what they're
271
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.440
trained to do.
272
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.879
Not necessary that I think, but they're.
273
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:47.039
Trained to be aware of any risk or threats or
274
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.519
people coming in. This is the discipline part of them,
275
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:55.200
is the discipline of doing a job properly paid.
276
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.399
They were very comment which company? So yeah, okay, twenty
277
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.919
twelve we weren't there, but watching the two thousand and
278
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.879
three World Cup final rugby was pretty cool in the
279
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.600
pub and Asia that was cool.
280
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.720
Eight in the morning and drinking pastiness.
281
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:13.519
How many beginners as we've had.
282
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:15.000
I don't know.
283
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:22.080
Anything else that's been amazing sport wise for me.
284
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.679
The two thousand and four in Athens, will we watched
285
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:29.039
one hundred meter final that was the Greek pretty memorable.
286
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:34.559
Having not seen anything of that watched on TV, I've watched.
287
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.240
The reason why it was memorable is they got the
288
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.960
whole crowd because the environment.
289
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.799
It wasn't the race. I can't remember the race. I
290
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.120
can't remember who one specifically.
291
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.240
You do remember who's the guy that you love? The
292
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.480
elder guy. Sprinter kept on going for ages. Oh my god,
293
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:55.679
I've got his name, much lighter frame than everyone else,
294
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.960
just kept on from Saint Kittsen, Saint Kittsen, Nevis was
295
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.039
come on?
296
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:01.919
Is your Yeah?
297
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.159
I know? And I forgot his bloody name picture him
298
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:12.440
Star Fred not so yeah, any others. I feel like
299
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:20.159
I'm missing something, missing something I don't know. Obviously the
300
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:21.919
rugby Fun Run was up.
301
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.519
There, Yeah it was. I started. I started the Great
302
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:32.279
North Run. I didn't start a great completely didn't start it.
303
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.879
I did the warm up. I led the warm up,
304
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.360
which was pretty amazing. So we had, like I think
305
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.039
back then, because it was in the nineties, late nineties
306
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:41.559
to I think they had like twenty or thirty thousand people.
307
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.000
Big difference from twenty or thirty, but it's something around
308
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.320
that number. I'm gonna say thirty, let's make it thirty
309
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.679
thirty thousand people. And we're up on this, myself and
310
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.720
a couple of other fitness people up on podiums, fitness people,
311
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.200
Fitness Game, they're in the fitness geme up there. Well,
312
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.679
because there were thirt thousand people, I was just stand
313
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.000
on playing. The people at that ain't gonna see me,
314
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.279
and we were just doing and I was obviously you
315
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.920
get a bit exciting, and you forget these people got
316
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:07.880
a run half marathon.
317
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:09.559
You're getting into great lines.
318
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.799
We were doing a lot of aerobic old school robit moves,
319
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.759
but more so things like radio Girl guys. But they
320
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.559
had the BBC helicopters going about like getting really doing
321
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.200
that sort of clapping above the head. N They wanted
322
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.559
like unison things that they could visually see if they
323
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.599
were flying overhead for the TV cameras. So we were
324
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.799
doing things like like the macarena and like silly stuff.
325
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.680
It was fair.
326
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.119
What year was that, please, I'm.
327
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:42.319
Gonna say ninety six. Maybe was it before I met you? Oh, yes,
328
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.559
I don't think would have been my first year. I'm
329
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:51.640
gonna say ninety six, nineteen ninety six. I believe that
330
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:52.440
was pretty fun.
331
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:57.279
Yeah, I can't think of any other massive to a
332
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.720
few of the time in leagues.
333
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.599
Also went on the pitch in Sunderland, Sunderland another Northeast
334
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:05.759
because I was doing pant Was.
335
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.359
That a Northeast derby? Who were they playing?
336
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.920
That's when I met Vinnie James Vinnie.
337
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.519
We watched this documentary which was actually quite interesting. Was
338
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.039
that when he was so that must have been his
339
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:16.759
comeback to win?
340
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:22.119
Yeah, because it was would have been ninety five. When
341
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.400
did they win the That would have been ninety six,
342
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:25.920
so that.
343
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.720
Was when they were on the.
344
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.559
Yeah, it would have been because I was doing pantos,
345
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:31.680
so I had to go on the pitch to promote
346
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.599
the panto and kick a ball or something and because
347
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:40.079
that's what you do. Yeah, that would have been lovely.
348
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.039
I'm sure he's a very nice man.
349
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:43.559
I think he had a wife at the time.
350
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.119
Did she died, didn't she was well.
351
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.079
But it was funny. So he came up to me,
352
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:51.319
what did you like? What did you do like Panto? For?
353
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:56.519
What's all that about? You know? Because so it's pretty fun,
354
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.519
it's great fun. And then he said A said, you
355
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:01.440
be like a really good pan because I think one
356
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.519
of the guys had dropped out. We still had out
357
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.920
acting exactly, so he owes me finny commission. I said,
358
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.920
you would make a brilliant Panto Baddy because he would
359
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.920
be hilarious. So, yeah, I started his career.
360
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:18.799
So forget guy Richie in Lockstock. It was you. I
361
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.200
didn't talk about you in.
362
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.680
The documentary that I should have done.
363
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.160
If he said.
364
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:28.000
He had not even thought about acting before then, amazing
365
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:30.400
because Lockstock didn't come out till after that.
366
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:31.880
No, so it was you.
367
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.920
I'm going to ring him by. You owe me about
368
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:35.839
fifty million quid?
369
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:36.119
Mate?
370
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:36.400
Thanks?
371
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.119
How do you work that out?
372
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.640
But you must have learn quite a bit from doing
373
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.720
all films, and so my twenty percent at least probably.
374
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:45.680
An agent?
375
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:46.839
Yeah?
376
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:50.200
Is it okay? So yes, I don't think of other
377
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:54.039
sports events. We've been lucky enough for Sorry about that.
378
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.799
Callers issue a technical issue and.
379
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.000
Then I guess I'm going to Vinni Jones because I
380
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:02.920
want to save any Jones owns me money.
381
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.039
Okay, because I started to.
382
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:06.880
Set your viral clip or whatever they call it.
383
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.160
I'm just gonna say, you owe me money, Infinny. You
384
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.000
know we're doing big Netflix series. You owe me at
385
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:16.559
least a few grounds just because I plant that cee
386
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.359
for you to become an actor and you've gone run
387
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:20.359
with it big time.
388
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:21.000
Okay.
389
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.279
Just I'm putting out there and claiming that well done,
390
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.240
thank you. Okay, carry on what we're going to say.
391
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.920
And then I guess We've had lots of exciting, more
392
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:34.960
emotional torment with watching our kids play top level sport. Yeah,
393
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.400
so that's been quite That's been very exciting because obviously
394
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:39.599
you're emotionally involved.
395
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.039
Yeah. I feel like I've played every single match that
396
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:43.160
they've been in when I watch it.
397
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:48.000
I'm now watching and I'm hilarious. I'm watching and coaching
398
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.319
some of the kids that are competing in athletics now
399
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.319
and I had two of them doing I watched the
400
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:58.960
shop put on Sunday, and I can feel my heart
401
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.920
rate rising just for that. I get so involved because
402
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:05.160
you want them to do well obviously, but yeah, it's
403
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.799
very interesting.
404
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.480
But some of that you've been coaching, you know, for
405
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.599
at least so.
406
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:14.559
I started coaching Tear and Sarah and Joe they were
407
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:19.240
like ten six years yeah, and then before that when
408
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.319
Sam's now potentially could go to the World Juniors at
409
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.920
the high jump. Vertical jump it's the it's the one
410
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:29.519
to work on everyone. If you want to get good
411
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:31.400
at sports, work on a vertical jump.
412
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:32.799
That's just jumping up in the air.
413
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:38.599
It's just a direct correlation to speed and power. I'm
414
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.119
going to do a bit of a survey with all
415
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.920
the athletes I've tested and put their counter movement jump,
416
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.920
their vertical jump home.
417
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.920
Now, people getting to their hundred meter time.
418
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.480
Because I reckon I can put an equations and say,
419
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.799
whatever their height is, I could guess to make their
420
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:01.079
top speed their one hundred meter time very actively. You'd
421
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.039
be amazing because you should have been a professional rugby,
422
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.079
professional sports woman, and you want to go back to university.
423
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.839
Well only because when watched was in odd.
424
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.960
Balls rugby charity charity.
425
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.559
But it wasn't just rugby was but like she was
426
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.720
competing in rugby, but it was an Oddballs Festival of sports.
427
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:18.279
Should we call it?
428
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:19.160
Let's call it.
429
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:21.200
They didn't call it that, but we're going to call
430
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.119
it that. Okay, basedically Nottingham, which is where she's.
431
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:25.599
At, unique amazing facility.
432
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.720
It was really fun. It was Nottingham Hockey Center or
433
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:31.039
Hockey Center slash everything, right.
434
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:35.039
Next to Nottingham Tennis Center, which is again famous, that beautiful.
435
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:39.680
I never knew and though they had odds brilliant set up,
436
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:41.920
very chilled. I thought it was going to be really
437
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.640
a bit more like full on, hardcore competitive than it was.
438
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.720
It was very relaxed. There's lots of big unis, very
439
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.640
sporty unis said team seriously, but they sent teams but
440
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:54.079
they were still not taking it too seriously.
441
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.559
When you watch the boys, okay rugby.
442
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.920
They had to take a bit more seriously.
443
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.200
Because the think hockey was that serious as well.
444
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:03.920
The hockey was very relaxed. They were having cider in
445
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.880
between on the sides and one of the mates from
446
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:09.920
school was at Loftbroo. She's a very good hockey player.
447
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:12.200
They didn't have a goal It was seven side, so
448
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:13.839
they didn't have a goalkeeper, so they forgot.
449
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.680
They hadn't told her as they were driving.
450
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.039
Wasn't there, So it was all a bit but then
451
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.400
not coming second overall, so you know, it just shows
452
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.960
how good they are. It was brilliant a very hot day, sunny.
453
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.759
Day mixed lacrosse. Yeah, that is a mental game because
454
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.519
the girls are just kicking the ship out of the.
455
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.319
Bloke how it should be.
456
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:39.000
Yes, we've had to take all the abuse. Yes, yeah,
457
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:44.559
there was netball, hockey, rugby, football was going on off site.
458
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.720
There was a CrossFit thing going on because all.
459
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.759
The CrossFit people were like local people.
460
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.519
And they were all out mid Midlands. It was the
461
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:54.960
Midlands CrossFit. And then the one company who I think
462
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:59.799
unfortunately got it all wrong was so there was different
463
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:00.680
like the.
464
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.359
Army selling things stuff.
465
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.200
And then there was it was about thirty degrees it
466
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.640
was bloody hot and someone had put up a pop
467
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:11.519
up sauna for fifteen quid. You could have a sauna
468
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:13.519
and a nice shower. I don't know where the shower.
469
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:16.079
I don't know where they were going to the shower.
470
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:17.920
They'd have to walk inside to go and have a
471
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:18.680
shower somewhere.
472
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.759
You know, it just failed for people when they're trying
473
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.480
to be entrepreneurial and stuff, and I.
474
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:28.599
Meant weather idea for like the recovery and you think, okay,
475
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:30.160
end of May, it's a.
476
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.279
Bit of a but also most of the kids there
477
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.400
are drinking, so put them in a sauna.
478
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:37.559
And also they're all students, so they haven't got any
479
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:38.200
money or do.
480
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.960
You say there was that still selling polos for fifty quid,
481
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:42.880
sweatshirts of sixty and who else.
482
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:44.680
Going to buy? The students all they want to spend
483
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:45.200
their money.
484
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.200
On insider and beer between the drinker they.
485
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:50.640
Were giving me ut Powery and various other sports drinks
486
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:56.400
are available not on that day. But yeah, it was
487
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.559
really fun, really fun, so very mixed levels of everything.
488
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.799
Ago back to watching kids' sports, yes that was exciting.
489
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.440
But yes in terms of professional, top level sports, yeah,
490
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:08.119
that's the thing I'd like to go to next year,
491
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:08.559
if that's right.
492
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:10.880
So I was about to say, what is a sporting event?
493
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:12.119
What sports event would you?
494
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:13.599
I know this is a bit early, but I'd like
495
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:15.960
to go to Gotsis, which I believe is Austria, which
496
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:20.559
is this purely multi event competition. So e Hammer, the
497
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:22.240
Swiss guy just competed.
498
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.920
Because they don't often get a lot of coverage much
499
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.359
heptathlon and catholic especially like Diamondleague stuff. They tend to
500
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:31.359
just follow all the individuals.
501
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:32.720
So I'd like to go to that next year.
502
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:33.559
Please when is it?
503
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.319
Just have it? So it's normally early ish season, juneish,
504
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:40.319
so all the athletes are doing it to see where
505
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:43.519
they're at before any big comps later in the.
506
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:50.839
We'll speak to logistics and HLS drive for France to
507
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:54.519
a big road trip. That's bloody Mary thinking Sweeden.
508
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:59.000
Please concentrate season and there we are. That's my goal
509
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:06.160
to go and see the got this hyper very good? Actually?
510
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:07.599
Is it really good?
511
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:10.640
Really good? I just don't a lot of people would
512
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.920
understand the dialect that I use, which is the from
513
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:23.119
northern Austria. Is it the town in northern Austria.
514
00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:23.960
Like from like Chisty bang bang? What was that Vulgarian
515
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:28.279
beacon Vulgaria. We're going to Vulgaria or somewhere. I was like,
516
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:35.680
sounds very light Bulgaria to me, very light Bulgaria. Okay, question,
517
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:39.079
I'd like to bring back Mark's bits.
518
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:41.759
We've stopped that. I'm not happy with that.
519
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.440
Okay, Well, in the town we need to speak to
520
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.519
the we're going to do it directors pretty much? Did
521
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.000
you talked about vertical jump? That's your MANX spits for
522
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:50.400
this week.
523
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:50.839
Thank you.
524
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.960
Memorable Euros or football thing. For me, it's like that
525
00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:01.279
James Corden sketch as Smithy of.
526
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:04.119
The World Cup before the World Cup the Euros. I
527
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:05.160
don't know actually.
528
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:09.319
Because three lines was for Euros. Wasn't that I think something?
529
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:10.279
I don't know.
530
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:12.759
I just remember him going in doing that.
531
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:18.400
I still remember. I still remember mare Donna's handball and
532
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.759
and that was eighty Do you know the idea.
533
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.680
I've got it written down here.
534
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.720
So Maradonna's handball was eighty.
535
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:31.799
Shout it out, you know people a bit late earlier.
536
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:34.440
Eighty six, eighty six, eighty six quarter final.
537
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.359
I do remember that and the outrage that went on
538
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:39.240
David and Gold, I.
539
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.680
Would say, because that's our era more like for me
540
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.839
when because obviously TV back then when had like three
541
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.720
channels to watch, so if the TV was on and
542
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.880
football was on, you sort of tended to watch it. Yeah,
543
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:53.279
that's a big deal. Then. Now there's like so many
544
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:54.240
things going on in the world.
545
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:58.559
And I remember when the Americans qualified and how athletic
546
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.160
they were. They all rapid but they kept pulling hamstrings.
547
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:08.400
I can't remember what year. That was, two thousands. And
548
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.720
then we were in France at the not the last
549
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.720
World Cup, the World Cup before. Weren't we for the
550
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.440
semi final when they won? We weren't there for the final,
551
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.039
I don't believe. And that was nice to be in
552
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:25.480
France while France were playing. So that was have many
553
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:30.440
eight years ago that I think it's eighteen because it's
554
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:31.400
twenty two.
555
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:33.240
Was the last one, so yeh've been twenty eighteen.
556
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.240
I think we were there because we were looking at
557
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.920
mauzine and properties and things like that.
558
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:43.319
I think we'd already got it all right, whatever, whatever, whatever?
559
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.039
Who wrote three lines.
560
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:52.960
David Badill and and the Lightning Seeds, Oh bollocks, didn't
561
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.319
they sing it? Frank Skinner David Badill and then.
562
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.759
He did the rap? Who did the rap on it? Though?
563
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:12.920
The footballer Massive thighs Liverpool England Liverpool player Barnes, Yes, that's.
564
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:17.720
Name rhymes with Bond who rhymes with.
565
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:23.400
Bond John Bars rhymes with bon John? Yeah, I know
566
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:28.279
it does. But you could have word Bond French word
567
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:31.039
you speak French. Astream.
568
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.519
It's a city in Germany. Actually bond, thank you.
569
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:34.519
How do you spell it.
570
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:37.000
In Germany?
571
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.839
In Germany?
572
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:42.599
In Germany, well, it's spelled like that in Germany because
573
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:43.680
it's German town.
574
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.279
Whatever.
575
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:50.559
And the women, let's talk about the women, shall we? Footballers?
576
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:57.240
Lionesses do? They play slightly better track record. They're currently
577
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.720
leading their group and she qualified for the World Cup
578
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.920
in twenty twenty seventh in Brazil.
579
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.119
Ah, they'll get Brazil Lazil. I can't say that, obviously
580
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:06.519
they can't.
581
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:13.400
Who is the Lioness's women Lioness's manager.
582
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.480
Don't know.
583
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:17.799
She stepped down in sheath the German Vegman Sabrina Vemus
584
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:18.359
at the moment?
585
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.000
Is that the same?
586
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:19.920
She's still there?
587
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:21.960
Okay, I thought she was stepping down.
588
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:24.799
Who knows? Who knows?
589
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.000
Do you think there's a question to you that the
590
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.599
national team should have someone from that country coaching them?
591
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.000
I still feel that they should.
592
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:34.279
That.
593
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.440
I don't. I'm not that I'm against someone else, but
594
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:39.000
I just feel, yeah, I know what you mean.
595
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:41.160
It happens in rugby as well.
596
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.960
We have international Oh yeah, yeah all the time.
597
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:46.960
Eddie Jones, all of that, Yeah, was Eddie Jones, the
598
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:50.759
first non brit.
599
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:56.119
We had a Kiwi before that we had. I don't know,
600
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.440
but I know what you mean, because it's like in well,
601
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.160
you know, you're saying against imagine you've got like England Germany.
602
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:04.880
That's why I think Southgate brought back them kind of
603
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:07.920
that feeling of national pride for the players again because
604
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.359
he's actually lived and breathed it himself. I don't know,
605
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:14.880
just a question to be put out there, not that
606
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.759
I'm against anyone else's guy. Yeah.
607
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:18.279
Sometimes I think it's the best person for the job,
608
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:19.799
who's going to get the job. They look at it
609
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:23.400
as a job, I suppose, rather than the weirdest is.
610
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:26.359
When they stand and they sing the national anthem and
611
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.880
they're like, Okay, if you weren't English, would you sing
612
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.920
the nation anthem if you were the England head coach? Yeah,
613
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:35.559
I think and you were you were German.
614
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:38.720
I think so because you are part of that squad.
615
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:41.119
Okay, okay.
616
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:43.440
And the whole point is I suppose they look at
617
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.039
it as a job and they're basically their job is
618
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:49.279
to get a football team to the top or whatever,
619
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:51.240
eighteen to the top and win.
620
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:54.799
And the best national anthem Argentina Argentina.
621
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:58.640
I do like Ireland when they do. Anyway, I don't
622
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:00.960
really hear it in the football so much. Yeah, and
623
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.839
Wales namely a Welsh football I.
624
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:08.839
Know too of Welsh footballers, Ryan Giggs, and I was
625
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:11.359
gonna say, George North, who's the guy that's now a
626
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:19.400
brilliant golfer, Gareth Gareth Bail. I don't know Gareth Bates.
627
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:20.400
I know that's Gates.
628
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.240
I mean we're Roberts, so we should really be supporting Wales.
629
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.400
But this is the thing, they don't really have a team,
630
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:36.000
suppose Welsh. I'm just saying it's not. Welsh are primarily more.
631
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:39.559
Of a rugby nation, true, not anymore.
632
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:43.759
They're falling a part and historically alright.
633
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:50.440
Historically speaking generally, so I think it's a tough call.
634
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:52.960
Yeah.
635
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:56.960
Then you think of like Haiti, I mean Panama, like
636
00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.559
some of these.
637
00:32:58.279 --> 00:32:59.519
They're not qualified, I don't think.
638
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:05.039
But Sam Marino, who boy George competes sang for the
639
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:11.000
europe Vision but recently just been yeah who won the Eurovision?
640
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:16.200
I don't know. Okay, did we do well? We had
641
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:18.359
an English guy obviously he.
642
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:19.880
Was English guy, but singing in German?
643
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:21.359
Who are guy?
644
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:21.759
Yeah?
645
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:29.240
You don't understand. From Bond nine Nina.
646
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:34.440
Yeah, well, I think we've exhausted our knowledge on the
647
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:34.960
World Cup.
648
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.240
It's coming up fifteen days time.
649
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.039
Are we haven't seen normally there's like loads of English people.
650
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:42.440
Do you sort of get into it a bit more?
651
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.359
I think when it first starts it's sort of I
652
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:45.799
do like builds a momentum.
653
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:47.960
Yeah, I mean it was. I mean, unfortunately there was
654
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:50.599
quite a few arrests with the arsenal celebrations.
655
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.599
In town, but that's not surprising because it's like that
656
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.680
together when we saw clips of our friends Tim and
657
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.480
other people who were there looked lovely, lots of families, kids,
658
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:05.359
and think you're anywhere there's always going to be no beds.
659
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.280
Yeah. Technically as well, the police helps a.
660
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.599
Plight Operation Pad Yeah, I think that probably is Operation Paid.
661
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:16.480
I can see the visuals that they use for it
662
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:18.880
as well, so instead of a policeman's helmet, it's just
663
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.119
a head.
664
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:23.679
Well, I would have really raised the tone of this
665
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:25.840
podcast again as.
666
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:29.719
Always, Operation not Paid, So we've got to viral whatever
667
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:35.639
they call them. Operational Head and Vinnie Jones money in it.
668
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:38.960
So he's mellow down there, right and you could take
669
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:41.519
him on a fight arm wrestle.
670
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.880
I could be an arm wrestle, could you Okay?
671
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.960
I think he probably trying and bite me or something.
672
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:49.480
He would my head butt me across.
673
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:53.719
I think we should organize an arm wrestle arm wrestle,
674
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:56.519
and then whoever wins you get all his earnings from
675
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.960
nineteen ninety seven, I get of his earning.
676
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:01.800
What about if he wins.
677
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:03.639
Then he gets twenty percent of your ownings?
678
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:04.119
Good luck?
679
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:07.840
Well, it's only fair, Susie. You got to back.
680
00:35:07.679 --> 00:35:14.599
Yourself about two pounds fifty my account. All right, Well, Vinnie,
681
00:35:14.840 --> 00:35:16.639
see you soon. Thanks,
1
00:00:07.919 --> 00:00:11.919
Hello, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Wherever you're listening,
2
00:00:12.279 --> 00:00:14.679
we're back. We had a little mini break, but we're back.
3
00:00:15.960 --> 00:00:22.879
Welcome to another episode. No another episode, forgot not another
4
00:00:23.280 --> 00:00:26.160
couple's podcast, because we're a couple, aren't we.
5
00:00:26.320 --> 00:00:28.039
So far, so far we've.
6
00:00:27.800 --> 00:00:30.519
Made four years, twenty five years, next year we've got
7
00:00:30.760 --> 00:00:31.399
he's married.
8
00:00:31.719 --> 00:00:35.479
But twenty nine years as a couple.
9
00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:37.200
It's quite long, isn't it.
10
00:00:37.200 --> 00:00:41.079
It is okay, but I don't know how it works
11
00:00:41.119 --> 00:00:44.759
because we're only twenty seven, so I don't have you're
12
00:00:45.000 --> 00:00:51.640
very old. So lo's happened. But the most important thing
13
00:00:51.960 --> 00:00:55.439
in seems to be in everybody's minds. We're not massive
14
00:00:55.479 --> 00:01:01.079
football fans generally, We're not like a football household rugby.
15
00:01:01.240 --> 00:01:04.959
We're more rugby potential in this house. However, the big
16
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.799
stuff we do tend to watch a bit more.
17
00:01:09.239 --> 00:01:10.640
So the international.
18
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.640
Yeah, I mean, obviously the Champions League Arsenal thing was
19
00:01:14.719 --> 00:01:16.200
quite a big deal, and we have friends who are
20
00:01:16.200 --> 00:01:19.959
a massive Arsenal fans, so we're sort of involved via them.
21
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.280
Say as an Arsenal I mean, I'm impartial, but I
22
00:01:25.400 --> 00:01:27.519
like Arsenal and it was brilliant. They got to the final.
23
00:01:27.560 --> 00:01:29.719
But I've got a feel for those two players who
24
00:01:29.799 --> 00:01:32.599
actually missed the goal. It's fair enough if the keeper
25
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:35.560
saves it, but that must torment them for a very
26
00:01:35.599 --> 00:01:36.120
long time.
27
00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:40.200
Yeah, and there's been a lot of shots that iconic
28
00:01:40.280 --> 00:01:45.120
shot of the PSG player coming over to hug his
29
00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.599
rest of his team. I don't know the player fortunately, Sorry,
30
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:49.319
I don't know the names about sure, millions of people
31
00:01:49.439 --> 00:01:50.599
shouted the name of me right now.
32
00:01:50.760 --> 00:01:50.959
Yeah.
33
00:01:51.000 --> 00:01:54.239
I like that, you know, because they feel they they've
34
00:01:54.239 --> 00:01:56.319
all you know, they feel how that would feel themselves.
35
00:01:56.359 --> 00:01:59.879
I can't think of a more pressurized situation playing a penalty.
36
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:02.840
It's awful, especially because the walk from the halfway.
37
00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:05.120
But I think also because it's gone on like you know,
38
00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:07.599
they've done their five and then it's like the continuation.
39
00:02:07.760 --> 00:02:10.879
It's like level and then you think, you hope that
40
00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:12.159
you're never you know, you're not going to be that
41
00:02:12.240 --> 00:02:14.000
sixth or seventh player that's got to step up and
42
00:02:14.039 --> 00:02:14.280
take it.
43
00:02:14.319 --> 00:02:16.800
You hope would you be rather to be the first
44
00:02:16.840 --> 00:02:18.439
one five or.
45
00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:20.599
I'd like to be like number three or something.
46
00:02:20.719 --> 00:02:22.800
Okay, but with your toepunk.
47
00:02:22.879 --> 00:02:25.080
Well it probably literally have gone right up into the
48
00:02:25.080 --> 00:02:25.759
crowd or.
49
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:29.879
Killed the keeper. You have got a good they still
50
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:32.680
teach a top a little friends, I.
51
00:02:32.599 --> 00:02:35.240
Mean, why wouldn't they. It's like a classic. I don't
52
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:38.639
they actually teach it, but they put a different just
53
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:40.039
fiddling with my questions again.
54
00:02:40.479 --> 00:02:43.240
Yea World Cup in the States, they've all just papers
55
00:02:44.360 --> 00:02:44.759
moving on.
56
00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:46.840
World Cup starts eleventh of June.
57
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:49.120
And I saw Rashford went there early with his personal
58
00:02:49.199 --> 00:02:52.919
coach to do some conditioning, so before the English squad
59
00:02:52.960 --> 00:02:53.800
who arrived today.
60
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.759
But it's been held in three hosts, three host areas,
61
00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:03.439
so Canada you were, say a Mexican see But yeah,
62
00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.639
it's quite a lot going on. I think that's quite
63
00:03:05.639 --> 00:03:08.159
I mean, imagine holding it in one country spanner, but
64
00:03:08.199 --> 00:03:10.719
trying to coordinate so many people who.
65
00:03:10.680 --> 00:03:13.560
Used to internal flights in the States that you know
66
00:03:14.080 --> 00:03:18.599
businessmen will fly to you. It's not like the flying
67
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:23.000
to make sure in Canada would still be five hour flight.
68
00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:25.120
I don't know. It's a long way. Yeah, you're right,
69
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:27.439
it's a long way and different times. That's the pain.
70
00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:29.960
So I think I think they've made most of the
71
00:03:29.960 --> 00:03:32.879
England Games relatively friendly to I tell you.
72
00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:35.840
I have them. I know this information because I researched
73
00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:38.919
these things on. So I'm going to just look at
74
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:43.039
my little paper. Sorry, So I'm going to talk about
75
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:45.719
England and Scotland doing so a lot. We are one
76
00:03:45.759 --> 00:03:50.520
copying here, that's your thing. So England's first game is
77
00:03:50.560 --> 00:03:53.639
against Croatia on the seventeenth June. Good and that's what
78
00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:58.520
thanks cooler, Yes, eight pm. I have actually put in
79
00:03:58.560 --> 00:04:01.199
the time down here. I did write down earlist Garaner
80
00:04:01.400 --> 00:04:05.199
twenty third of June. I think that's like nineteen Africa
81
00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:07.960
either eight nine ten or nine ten eleven.
82
00:04:08.120 --> 00:04:09.199
The games at two three in the morning.
83
00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:12.199
So Scotland blessed them. I think they've got two o'clock
84
00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.560
in the morning. It gives Haiti Haiati. So they've got Haiti,
85
00:04:17.199 --> 00:04:19.639
Morocco and Brazil Scotland.
86
00:04:20.120 --> 00:04:24.279
We've got quite a tough group. Second in the Africans Nations.
87
00:04:24.920 --> 00:04:26.199
Panama don't know.
88
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:27.959
That they're doing a nice canal.
89
00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:32.839
Did you have a tumbleweed? Then?
90
00:04:33.000 --> 00:04:33.519
It was good?
91
00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.279
It was very good. I think you are probably the best.
92
00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:46.319
Soball right, so there's been a few people missed out.
93
00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:48.560
Well, come on, we won it in nineteen sixty six.
94
00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:50.480
Let's talk about that for another.
95
00:04:51.879 --> 00:04:54.040
We're going to make it through the group stage, as
96
00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:57.120
we normally do hopefully, and then everyone will get super
97
00:04:57.120 --> 00:04:59.439
excited and say, right, this is it, this is the year,
98
00:04:59.639 --> 00:05:01.720
this is it, this is in the last World Cup.
99
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.399
We played, Let's get this right. We got through, we
100
00:05:04.439 --> 00:05:06.399
played okay, was it the first game? They lost a cut?
101
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:10.079
Remember cut member? But the expectation.
102
00:05:10.879 --> 00:05:12.319
Who won the last World Cup?
103
00:05:13.199 --> 00:05:19.560
France? Oh, France won the one before, didn't they France?
104
00:05:20.439 --> 00:05:25.600
It was correct, they were in the final? And who.
105
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:27.360
This question?
106
00:05:27.800 --> 00:05:29.199
I don't know what I'm asking you questions?
107
00:05:29.759 --> 00:05:30.199
I'm good.
108
00:05:31.759 --> 00:05:41.000
Who is the England manager? German not French?
109
00:05:41.199 --> 00:05:42.720
That yeah, I call him.
110
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:45.680
First. What's his first name?
111
00:05:46.000 --> 00:05:52.279
I'm going to say Frankfurt mm hmm. Glor Glorian Thomas,
112
00:05:52.879 --> 00:06:01.959
Thomas Thomas. So there's been a few he hasn't taken.
113
00:06:01.959 --> 00:06:04.399
Who has he not taking? McGuire? Is it not taking
114
00:06:04.800 --> 00:06:09.199
one of the leaders? Yeah? I wonder. I think the
115
00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:11.279
players before there was all this taught that, you know,
116
00:06:11.319 --> 00:06:13.759
the club meant more to them than playing for the country.
117
00:06:14.199 --> 00:06:16.360
I don't think that's the case now. I think what's
118
00:06:16.360 --> 00:06:18.279
his name? Southgate did a very good thing of bringing
119
00:06:18.439 --> 00:06:22.079
back this sense of national pride and playing for your country.
120
00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:25.360
Because obviously Fleet Minfling were watching really old episodes of League.
121
00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:34.759
Was it called Leron or yeah, James Cordney's that's something
122
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:38.959
I've never ever ever said ever, probably never will thankfully,
123
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:51.040
because that's weird that. So Jamie lost its very early
124
00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:55.879
in the morning. Can't actually cope with us, Jamie, Jamie Redner.
125
00:06:56.279 --> 00:06:59.920
We're saying that when he was growing up, you know,
126
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:03.160
their whole thing was to play for their country. Was
127
00:07:03.160 --> 00:07:07.399
the biggest, proudest moment to be selected for your country,
128
00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:09.439
whatever your country was. Because there was a player on
129
00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:11.160
that I can't remember again, Flynn was like, I don't
130
00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:12.759
know why this player is on the show because he
131
00:07:12.839 --> 00:07:14.680
can't really speak English like well, and you know he
132
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:19.319
was he was either Beckham well that as well, but no,
133
00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.879
he was playing for Italy, but he was born somewhere
134
00:07:21.879 --> 00:07:25.720
else I can't remember. So anyway, so he was saying,
135
00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:26.920
you know, I can get that you want to play
136
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.560
for your country, and obviously he said, well, why it
137
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:30.800
is because I grew up there. You know, he left
138
00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:33.319
wherever he first was born when he was like ten
139
00:07:33.399 --> 00:07:36.160
or something. He spent most of his life right in Italy,
140
00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:39.600
so that sort of makes sense. So obviously he had
141
00:07:39.600 --> 00:07:42.680
a choice, but obviously Italy quite good generally at football
142
00:07:42.680 --> 00:07:46.560
and stuff. So but yeah, Jamie Reddat was saying, literally,
143
00:07:46.600 --> 00:07:50.000
playing for your country is one of the proudest things
144
00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.079
and like the thing that really drives you because obviously
145
00:07:52.120 --> 00:07:54.639
playing for your pay for your club, and you know
146
00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.000
they're getting paid head loads of money.
147
00:07:57.160 --> 00:08:01.879
Generally they get paid to play for England England Rugby
148
00:08:01.959 --> 00:08:04.480
do so I see England footballmuster as well. So someone
149
00:08:04.600 --> 00:08:09.360
told me that if they won the Championship final PSG
150
00:08:09.560 --> 00:08:12.199
player's got a million pounds bonus each.
151
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:14.040
Because they need the money, bless them.
152
00:08:14.360 --> 00:08:17.160
Well someone's paying good for them. If you're an agent,
153
00:08:17.240 --> 00:08:21.800
you'd be like, well three million whatever it is. It's amazing.
154
00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.240
It is an obscene amount of money. But they're all
155
00:08:26.240 --> 00:08:29.120
getting this sort of similar treatment across the Premiership anyway,
156
00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:31.560
I mean further down the line, but I mean compared
157
00:08:31.560 --> 00:08:36.320
to other sports is probably Formula one, maybe tennis, those things.
158
00:08:36.399 --> 00:08:38.600
Golf are similar, but they're the big.
159
00:08:38.480 --> 00:08:40.360
Big ground kiss Chase.
160
00:08:41.720 --> 00:08:44.159
And Crok.
161
00:08:44.519 --> 00:08:48.360
They don't call it table tennis table tennis.
162
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:52.679
So anyway, back to the World Cup. We are in
163
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.919
it to win it. As always the favorites. Did you
164
00:08:56.919 --> 00:09:05.480
look up the odds? Spain CLA, France must be up there.
165
00:09:05.519 --> 00:09:09.080
Still we're like fourth or something or fourth or fifth favorite,
166
00:09:10.720 --> 00:09:15.600
but we are And Ronaldo? Can we just talk about
167
00:09:15.679 --> 00:09:19.080
him for a second. Forty one years old, yes, and
168
00:09:19.399 --> 00:09:23.120
going to be playing in his sixth World Cup.
169
00:09:23.159 --> 00:09:26.159
But he's not the only person that's played six, No,
170
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:27.559
he is.
171
00:09:27.399 --> 00:09:29.159
Yeah, I think he's at six. I think Messi. And
172
00:09:29.879 --> 00:09:35.240
who's the other one? Someone else who's been around a
173
00:09:35.240 --> 00:09:35.720
long time?
174
00:09:37.200 --> 00:09:38.120
Oh, I don't know, but.
175
00:09:38.039 --> 00:09:40.320
I think Messi hasn't played as many.
176
00:09:40.679 --> 00:09:43.399
Milner James mother football has just retired and he's forty
177
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.480
how old? Ronaldo? Someone was trying to.
178
00:09:48.399 --> 00:09:49.720
Play in six World Cups?
179
00:09:49.840 --> 00:09:57.320
That's football. Talking about athleticism and professionalism, he hits as
180
00:09:57.320 --> 00:09:59.639
a nice few little stepovers. But compared to Messi, who
181
00:09:59.639 --> 00:10:03.799
has just so talented, doesn't really train that hard. Just
182
00:10:04.679 --> 00:10:07.759
he's taken it very seriously and that's what's prolonged his career.
183
00:10:07.799 --> 00:10:11.480
But he's actually not the most amazing football and his
184
00:10:11.639 --> 00:10:15.919
vertical jump who talk about vertical jumping, he's amazing.
185
00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:20.679
He's athleticism As an athlete generally, he probably could have
186
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:22.919
been quite good at a lot of other sports as
187
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:24.440
well as tennis.
188
00:10:25.159 --> 00:10:26.679
I don't know. Yes, yeah, so.
189
00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:29.759
Because of his sort of I suppose because of his
190
00:10:29.840 --> 00:10:33.360
training and he's you know, he's quite focused, or comes
191
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:35.559
across that way. I don't know him personally, obviously never
192
00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:39.360
met him, but comes across now comes across as being
193
00:10:39.399 --> 00:10:41.320
extremely focused individual.
194
00:10:41.440 --> 00:10:44.360
Who's the best athlete person you've ever met? He thought, like,
195
00:10:44.559 --> 00:10:47.919
my god, this person's another level. Mark Roberts, thank you.
196
00:10:48.399 --> 00:10:51.480
Apart from him and me professional rugby player in the.
197
00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:54.679
Making, who have you met and gone bloody hell?
198
00:10:55.919 --> 00:10:58.559
The not famous or not famous.
199
00:10:58.240 --> 00:11:00.840
Someone we know or well just someone who was at
200
00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:06.799
the top of their getting that you think, well, yeah, famous.
201
00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:08.000
Re Reichy, that's a question to spring upon me.
202
00:11:12.399 --> 00:11:14.720
I remember when I went to Club La Santa and
203
00:11:14.759 --> 00:11:17.799
we used to train in a pre season. Yes, Frank
204
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:23.480
Bruno was their trade and him as an athlete, he
205
00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:26.799
was phenomenal. The stuff he was doing in the gym.
206
00:11:27.399 --> 00:11:30.039
Forget the boxing side of things, but his movement patterns
207
00:11:30.039 --> 00:11:33.360
and seven for a big man. We were like we
208
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:35.960
had yeah, we had sprinters and throwers there as well,
209
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:37.879
and he just humbled them. The stuff.
210
00:11:38.080 --> 00:11:40.960
You know, you would say, actually, it's probably the person
211
00:11:41.120 --> 00:11:45.519
I know and have worked with is Lightning from Gladiators
212
00:11:46.279 --> 00:11:47.840
back in the nineties. I mean she was a gymnas
213
00:11:48.039 --> 00:11:53.639
gyms generally we tend to have quite good all round strength, speed, agility,
214
00:11:53.679 --> 00:11:55.919
awareness and thing. I've never seen her do lots of
215
00:11:55.919 --> 00:11:58.159
other book but she's none of his sports. But she's
216
00:11:58.240 --> 00:12:02.039
just still I think, still incredible ethic, which she went
217
00:12:02.080 --> 00:12:06.600
obviously starting body gymnastics, bodybuilding, but just her. She's fast,
218
00:12:06.600 --> 00:12:08.960
she's really strong for her size, it's tiny.
219
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.080
She likes Simone Biles, Yeah, but she's not like.
220
00:12:13.159 --> 00:12:17.960
Built like Simone Barles. She's quite lean and longer limbed
221
00:12:17.960 --> 00:12:21.559
if you like. But just her, I think she's also again,
222
00:12:21.720 --> 00:12:27.600
incredibly driven human being. I would say out of the
223
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:32.559
gladiators that I know female, obviously James Hunter again probably
224
00:12:33.600 --> 00:12:37.200
if he's as much bodybuilding and wrecked his body doing
225
00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.039
various other things, he's probably because he turns, you know,
226
00:12:40.080 --> 00:12:41.480
he can do that. You know, he does like the
227
00:12:41.519 --> 00:12:47.320
strength stuff, but then he could also do ham hand gongs. Yeah.
228
00:12:47.360 --> 00:12:49.320
So the people that I've worked with that I know,
229
00:12:50.000 --> 00:12:53.879
I've just but yeah, I think just them. You know,
230
00:12:54.039 --> 00:12:58.919
Ronaldo doing six World Cups is pretty amazing. But the
231
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.480
problem is, you know he's one player in our whole team,
232
00:13:01.600 --> 00:13:03.879
so you know one player can make a big difference,
233
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:05.879
but you also need everybody.
234
00:13:05.480 --> 00:13:07.639
Else to look at Rooney at soccer aide.
235
00:13:07.519 --> 00:13:08.480
Be at the same level.
236
00:13:09.240 --> 00:13:10.039
He was amazing.
237
00:13:10.159 --> 00:13:11.639
I didn't actually see his bit.
238
00:13:12.120 --> 00:13:15.279
Well it's just as touched. But actually we were watching
239
00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.519
and he did a couple of accelerations. You're like, okay,
240
00:13:18.919 --> 00:13:21.320
it's still move he's carrying a bit of timber. But
241
00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:23.559
he did a free kick which nearly went in, which
242
00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.799
was amazing. So he's yeah, I guess you don't need it,
243
00:13:28.120 --> 00:13:30.240
like scored like four goals or something. He scored two
244
00:13:30.240 --> 00:13:31.799
and then they took him off. But he's got he's
245
00:13:31.799 --> 00:13:34.000
played and he's got the most goals for all I
246
00:13:34.039 --> 00:13:36.480
don't split all of them because it's been twenty years
247
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:38.919
so he would have been I don't think they were
248
00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:40.840
picked him for England if he was twenty or whatever
249
00:13:40.840 --> 00:13:41.960
he is because he's four.
250
00:13:43.000 --> 00:13:43.559
I don't know.
251
00:13:44.519 --> 00:13:48.360
But yeah, yeah, Joe Marler and goal which was entertaining.
252
00:13:48.399 --> 00:13:52.080
That's funny, very funny. So big sporting events for you,
253
00:13:52.200 --> 00:13:55.879
what memorably Okay, what is the biggest sporting event that
254
00:13:55.919 --> 00:13:57.559
you've been physically.
255
00:13:57.159 --> 00:13:57.799
To go and watch.
256
00:13:59.080 --> 00:14:01.799
I guess we been to Athens Olympics. That was cool
257
00:14:02.120 --> 00:14:07.279
being in Greece, the home of the OLYMPIAD four. Then
258
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:10.440
actually I thought the Paralympics here in twenty twelve were phenomenal.
259
00:14:10.559 --> 00:14:13.279
It's really cool. I thought that it's the best thing
260
00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.960
in London's ever done. I thought it was just the
261
00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.960
atmosphere was so well organized. What do they call them,
262
00:14:19.080 --> 00:14:23.480
They can call them volunteers. Weren't helpers. They had a
263
00:14:23.600 --> 00:14:26.480
name that everyone that helped out and they were amazing.
264
00:14:26.799 --> 00:14:26.960
Mum.
265
00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:29.399
That was the time when who was it that let
266
00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:30.840
them down and they had to bring the army in
267
00:14:30.879 --> 00:14:34.759
for security checks? Who were so good, they were so friendly.
268
00:14:34.799 --> 00:14:36.879
I forget which company it was that let them down.
269
00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:38.519
One of the big security companies.
270
00:14:38.519 --> 00:14:40.879
It makes sense. It's the job. It's like what they're
271
00:14:40.879 --> 00:14:41.440
trained to do.
272
00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:43.879
Not necessary that I think, but they're.
273
00:14:43.720 --> 00:14:47.039
Trained to be aware of any risk or threats or
274
00:14:47.200 --> 00:14:50.519
people coming in. This is the discipline part of them,
275
00:14:50.600 --> 00:14:55.200
is the discipline of doing a job properly paid.
276
00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:58.399
They were very comment which company? So yeah, okay, twenty
277
00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.919
twelve we weren't there, but watching the two thousand and
278
00:15:02.960 --> 00:15:05.879
three World Cup final rugby was pretty cool in the
279
00:15:05.879 --> 00:15:08.600
pub and Asia that was cool.
280
00:15:09.639 --> 00:15:11.720
Eight in the morning and drinking pastiness.
281
00:15:12.000 --> 00:15:13.519
How many beginners as we've had.
282
00:15:14.600 --> 00:15:15.000
I don't know.
283
00:15:17.320 --> 00:15:22.080
Anything else that's been amazing sport wise for me.
284
00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.679
The two thousand and four in Athens, will we watched
285
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:29.039
one hundred meter final that was the Greek pretty memorable.
286
00:15:30.039 --> 00:15:34.559
Having not seen anything of that watched on TV, I've watched.
287
00:15:34.759 --> 00:15:37.240
The reason why it was memorable is they got the
288
00:15:37.279 --> 00:15:39.960
whole crowd because the environment.
289
00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:41.799
It wasn't the race. I can't remember the race. I
290
00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.120
can't remember who one specifically.
291
00:15:43.120 --> 00:15:45.240
You do remember who's the guy that you love? The
292
00:15:45.240 --> 00:15:48.480
elder guy. Sprinter kept on going for ages. Oh my god,
293
00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:55.679
I've got his name, much lighter frame than everyone else,
294
00:15:56.759 --> 00:15:59.960
just kept on from Saint Kittsen, Saint Kittsen, Nevis was
295
00:16:00.720 --> 00:16:01.039
come on?
296
00:16:01.240 --> 00:16:01.919
Is your Yeah?
297
00:16:02.559 --> 00:16:05.159
I know? And I forgot his bloody name picture him
298
00:16:05.759 --> 00:16:12.440
Star Fred not so yeah, any others. I feel like
299
00:16:12.440 --> 00:16:20.159
I'm missing something, missing something I don't know. Obviously the
300
00:16:20.440 --> 00:16:21.919
rugby Fun Run was up.
301
00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:25.519
There, Yeah it was. I started. I started the Great
302
00:16:25.559 --> 00:16:32.279
North Run. I didn't start a great completely didn't start it.
303
00:16:32.279 --> 00:16:33.879
I did the warm up. I led the warm up,
304
00:16:33.919 --> 00:16:36.360
which was pretty amazing. So we had, like I think
305
00:16:36.360 --> 00:16:39.039
back then, because it was in the nineties, late nineties
306
00:16:39.279 --> 00:16:41.559
to I think they had like twenty or thirty thousand people.
307
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:44.000
Big difference from twenty or thirty, but it's something around
308
00:16:44.039 --> 00:16:46.320
that number. I'm gonna say thirty, let's make it thirty
309
00:16:46.759 --> 00:16:49.679
thirty thousand people. And we're up on this, myself and
310
00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:53.720
a couple of other fitness people up on podiums, fitness people,
311
00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:58.200
Fitness Game, they're in the fitness geme up there. Well,
312
00:16:58.200 --> 00:17:00.679
because there were thirt thousand people, I was just stand
313
00:17:00.720 --> 00:17:03.000
on playing. The people at that ain't gonna see me,
314
00:17:03.600 --> 00:17:05.279
and we were just doing and I was obviously you
315
00:17:05.279 --> 00:17:06.920
get a bit exciting, and you forget these people got
316
00:17:06.960 --> 00:17:07.880
a run half marathon.
317
00:17:08.279 --> 00:17:09.559
You're getting into great lines.
318
00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:11.799
We were doing a lot of aerobic old school robit moves,
319
00:17:12.039 --> 00:17:15.759
but more so things like radio Girl guys. But they
320
00:17:15.799 --> 00:17:18.559
had the BBC helicopters going about like getting really doing
321
00:17:18.599 --> 00:17:21.200
that sort of clapping above the head. N They wanted
322
00:17:21.240 --> 00:17:24.559
like unison things that they could visually see if they
323
00:17:24.559 --> 00:17:27.599
were flying overhead for the TV cameras. So we were
324
00:17:27.640 --> 00:17:30.799
doing things like like the macarena and like silly stuff.
325
00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:31.680
It was fair.
326
00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.119
What year was that, please, I'm.
327
00:17:34.960 --> 00:17:42.319
Gonna say ninety six. Maybe was it before I met you? Oh, yes,
328
00:17:43.799 --> 00:17:46.559
I don't think would have been my first year. I'm
329
00:17:46.559 --> 00:17:51.640
gonna say ninety six, nineteen ninety six. I believe that
330
00:17:51.799 --> 00:17:52.440
was pretty fun.
331
00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:57.279
Yeah, I can't think of any other massive to a
332
00:17:57.319 --> 00:17:59.720
few of the time in leagues.
333
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:03.599
Also went on the pitch in Sunderland, Sunderland another Northeast
334
00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:05.759
because I was doing pant Was.
335
00:18:05.759 --> 00:18:07.359
That a Northeast derby? Who were they playing?
336
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:10.920
That's when I met Vinnie James Vinnie.
337
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.519
We watched this documentary which was actually quite interesting. Was
338
00:18:14.519 --> 00:18:16.039
that when he was so that must have been his
339
00:18:16.119 --> 00:18:16.759
comeback to win?
340
00:18:17.279 --> 00:18:22.119
Yeah, because it was would have been ninety five. When
341
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:25.400
did they win the That would have been ninety six,
342
00:18:25.599 --> 00:18:25.920
so that.
343
00:18:25.920 --> 00:18:28.720
Was when they were on the.
344
00:18:28.200 --> 00:18:30.559
Yeah, it would have been because I was doing pantos,
345
00:18:30.559 --> 00:18:31.680
so I had to go on the pitch to promote
346
00:18:31.680 --> 00:18:34.599
the panto and kick a ball or something and because
347
00:18:34.799 --> 00:18:40.079
that's what you do. Yeah, that would have been lovely.
348
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:42.039
I'm sure he's a very nice man.
349
00:18:42.359 --> 00:18:43.559
I think he had a wife at the time.
350
00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.119
Did she died, didn't she was well.
351
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:49.079
But it was funny. So he came up to me,
352
00:18:49.480 --> 00:18:51.319
what did you like? What did you do like Panto? For?
353
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:56.519
What's all that about? You know? Because so it's pretty fun,
354
00:18:56.640 --> 00:18:59.519
it's great fun. And then he said A said, you
355
00:18:59.599 --> 00:19:01.440
be like a really good pan because I think one
356
00:19:01.480 --> 00:19:03.519
of the guys had dropped out. We still had out
357
00:19:04.240 --> 00:19:08.920
acting exactly, so he owes me finny commission. I said,
358
00:19:08.960 --> 00:19:11.920
you would make a brilliant Panto Baddy because he would
359
00:19:12.119 --> 00:19:15.920
be hilarious. So, yeah, I started his career.
360
00:19:16.079 --> 00:19:18.799
So forget guy Richie in Lockstock. It was you. I
361
00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:20.200
didn't talk about you in.
362
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:22.680
The documentary that I should have done.
363
00:19:22.519 --> 00:19:26.160
If he said.
364
00:19:24.799 --> 00:19:28.000
He had not even thought about acting before then, amazing
365
00:19:28.480 --> 00:19:30.400
because Lockstock didn't come out till after that.
366
00:19:30.720 --> 00:19:31.880
No, so it was you.
367
00:19:32.359 --> 00:19:34.920
I'm going to ring him by. You owe me about
368
00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:35.839
fifty million quid?
369
00:19:35.880 --> 00:19:36.119
Mate?
370
00:19:36.119 --> 00:19:36.400
Thanks?
371
00:19:37.119 --> 00:19:38.119
How do you work that out?
372
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:39.640
But you must have learn quite a bit from doing
373
00:19:39.640 --> 00:19:43.720
all films, and so my twenty percent at least probably.
374
00:19:45.279 --> 00:19:45.680
An agent?
375
00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:46.839
Yeah?
376
00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:50.200
Is it okay? So yes, I don't think of other
377
00:19:50.200 --> 00:19:54.039
sports events. We've been lucky enough for Sorry about that.
378
00:19:54.039 --> 00:19:57.799
Callers issue a technical issue and.
379
00:19:57.759 --> 00:20:01.000
Then I guess I'm going to Vinni Jones because I
380
00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:02.920
want to save any Jones owns me money.
381
00:20:03.359 --> 00:20:05.039
Okay, because I started to.
382
00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:06.880
Set your viral clip or whatever they call it.
383
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:09.160
I'm just gonna say, you owe me money, Infinny. You
384
00:20:09.200 --> 00:20:12.000
know we're doing big Netflix series. You owe me at
385
00:20:12.079 --> 00:20:16.559
least a few grounds just because I plant that cee
386
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.359
for you to become an actor and you've gone run
387
00:20:19.400 --> 00:20:20.359
with it big time.
388
00:20:20.680 --> 00:20:21.000
Okay.
389
00:20:21.200 --> 00:20:23.279
Just I'm putting out there and claiming that well done,
390
00:20:23.799 --> 00:20:26.240
thank you. Okay, carry on what we're going to say.
391
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:28.920
And then I guess We've had lots of exciting, more
392
00:20:28.960 --> 00:20:34.960
emotional torment with watching our kids play top level sport. Yeah,
393
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:38.400
so that's been quite That's been very exciting because obviously
394
00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:39.599
you're emotionally involved.
395
00:20:40.000 --> 00:20:42.039
Yeah. I feel like I've played every single match that
396
00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:43.160
they've been in when I watch it.
397
00:20:43.279 --> 00:20:48.000
I'm now watching and I'm hilarious. I'm watching and coaching
398
00:20:48.039 --> 00:20:50.319
some of the kids that are competing in athletics now
399
00:20:50.759 --> 00:20:53.319
and I had two of them doing I watched the
400
00:20:53.359 --> 00:20:58.960
shop put on Sunday, and I can feel my heart
401
00:20:59.000 --> 00:21:02.920
rate rising just for that. I get so involved because
402
00:21:02.920 --> 00:21:05.160
you want them to do well obviously, but yeah, it's
403
00:21:05.240 --> 00:21:05.799
very interesting.
404
00:21:05.839 --> 00:21:07.480
But some of that you've been coaching, you know, for
405
00:21:07.519 --> 00:21:09.599
at least so.
406
00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:14.559
I started coaching Tear and Sarah and Joe they were
407
00:21:14.559 --> 00:21:19.240
like ten six years yeah, and then before that when
408
00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:23.319
Sam's now potentially could go to the World Juniors at
409
00:21:23.319 --> 00:21:27.920
the high jump. Vertical jump it's the it's the one
410
00:21:27.960 --> 00:21:29.519
to work on everyone. If you want to get good
411
00:21:29.519 --> 00:21:31.400
at sports, work on a vertical jump.
412
00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:32.799
That's just jumping up in the air.
413
00:21:32.960 --> 00:21:38.599
It's just a direct correlation to speed and power. I'm
414
00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:40.119
going to do a bit of a survey with all
415
00:21:40.160 --> 00:21:44.920
the athletes I've tested and put their counter movement jump,
416
00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:45.920
their vertical jump home.
417
00:21:46.559 --> 00:21:48.920
Now, people getting to their hundred meter time.
418
00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:52.480
Because I reckon I can put an equations and say,
419
00:21:53.559 --> 00:21:56.799
whatever their height is, I could guess to make their
420
00:21:56.799 --> 00:22:01.079
top speed their one hundred meter time very actively. You'd
421
00:22:01.119 --> 00:22:03.039
be amazing because you should have been a professional rugby,
422
00:22:03.359 --> 00:22:06.079
professional sports woman, and you want to go back to university.
423
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.839
Well only because when watched was in odd.
424
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:11.960
Balls rugby charity charity.
425
00:22:12.039 --> 00:22:14.559
But it wasn't just rugby was but like she was
426
00:22:14.599 --> 00:22:17.720
competing in rugby, but it was an Oddballs Festival of sports.
427
00:22:17.720 --> 00:22:18.279
Should we call it?
428
00:22:18.599 --> 00:22:19.160
Let's call it.
429
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:21.200
They didn't call it that, but we're going to call
430
00:22:21.240 --> 00:22:24.119
it that. Okay, basedically Nottingham, which is where she's.
431
00:22:23.960 --> 00:22:25.599
At, unique amazing facility.
432
00:22:25.720 --> 00:22:27.720
It was really fun. It was Nottingham Hockey Center or
433
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:31.039
Hockey Center slash everything, right.
434
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:35.039
Next to Nottingham Tennis Center, which is again famous, that beautiful.
435
00:22:35.759 --> 00:22:39.680
I never knew and though they had odds brilliant set up,
436
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:41.920
very chilled. I thought it was going to be really
437
00:22:41.960 --> 00:22:45.640
a bit more like full on, hardcore competitive than it was.
438
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.720
It was very relaxed. There's lots of big unis, very
439
00:22:47.720 --> 00:22:51.640
sporty unis said team seriously, but they sent teams but
440
00:22:51.680 --> 00:22:54.079
they were still not taking it too seriously.
441
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.559
When you watch the boys, okay rugby.
442
00:22:57.200 --> 00:22:58.920
They had to take a bit more seriously.
443
00:22:58.599 --> 00:23:01.200
Because the think hockey was that serious as well.
444
00:23:01.359 --> 00:23:03.920
The hockey was very relaxed. They were having cider in
445
00:23:04.000 --> 00:23:07.880
between on the sides and one of the mates from
446
00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:09.920
school was at Loftbroo. She's a very good hockey player.
447
00:23:10.519 --> 00:23:12.200
They didn't have a goal It was seven side, so
448
00:23:12.200 --> 00:23:13.839
they didn't have a goalkeeper, so they forgot.
449
00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.680
They hadn't told her as they were driving.
450
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.039
Wasn't there, So it was all a bit but then
451
00:23:19.160 --> 00:23:21.400
not coming second overall, so you know, it just shows
452
00:23:21.400 --> 00:23:25.960
how good they are. It was brilliant a very hot day, sunny.
453
00:23:25.720 --> 00:23:29.759
Day mixed lacrosse. Yeah, that is a mental game because
454
00:23:29.799 --> 00:23:31.519
the girls are just kicking the ship out of the.
455
00:23:31.519 --> 00:23:33.319
Bloke how it should be.
456
00:23:34.400 --> 00:23:39.000
Yes, we've had to take all the abuse. Yes, yeah,
457
00:23:39.000 --> 00:23:44.559
there was netball, hockey, rugby, football was going on off site.
458
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:46.720
There was a CrossFit thing going on because all.
459
00:23:46.640 --> 00:23:48.759
The CrossFit people were like local people.
460
00:23:48.480 --> 00:23:51.519
And they were all out mid Midlands. It was the
461
00:23:51.519 --> 00:23:54.960
Midlands CrossFit. And then the one company who I think
462
00:23:55.039 --> 00:23:59.799
unfortunately got it all wrong was so there was different
463
00:24:00.400 --> 00:24:00.680
like the.
464
00:24:00.720 --> 00:24:03.359
Army selling things stuff.
465
00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:05.200
And then there was it was about thirty degrees it
466
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.640
was bloody hot and someone had put up a pop
467
00:24:07.759 --> 00:24:11.519
up sauna for fifteen quid. You could have a sauna
468
00:24:11.599 --> 00:24:13.519
and a nice shower. I don't know where the shower.
469
00:24:13.960 --> 00:24:16.079
I don't know where they were going to the shower.
470
00:24:16.119 --> 00:24:17.920
They'd have to walk inside to go and have a
471
00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:18.680
shower somewhere.
472
00:24:19.079 --> 00:24:21.759
You know, it just failed for people when they're trying
473
00:24:21.799 --> 00:24:24.480
to be entrepreneurial and stuff, and I.
474
00:24:24.400 --> 00:24:28.599
Meant weather idea for like the recovery and you think, okay,
475
00:24:28.680 --> 00:24:30.160
end of May, it's a.
476
00:24:30.079 --> 00:24:32.279
Bit of a but also most of the kids there
477
00:24:32.319 --> 00:24:35.400
are drinking, so put them in a sauna.
478
00:24:35.440 --> 00:24:37.559
And also they're all students, so they haven't got any
479
00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:38.200
money or do.
480
00:24:38.240 --> 00:24:40.960
You say there was that still selling polos for fifty quid,
481
00:24:40.960 --> 00:24:42.880
sweatshirts of sixty and who else.
482
00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:44.680
Going to buy? The students all they want to spend
483
00:24:44.720 --> 00:24:45.200
their money.
484
00:24:45.039 --> 00:24:48.200
On insider and beer between the drinker they.
485
00:24:48.079 --> 00:24:50.640
Were giving me ut Powery and various other sports drinks
486
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:56.400
are available not on that day. But yeah, it was
487
00:24:56.440 --> 00:24:59.559
really fun, really fun, so very mixed levels of everything.
488
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.799
Ago back to watching kids' sports, yes that was exciting.
489
00:25:02.799 --> 00:25:06.440
But yes in terms of professional, top level sports, yeah,
490
00:25:06.599 --> 00:25:08.119
that's the thing I'd like to go to next year,
491
00:25:08.119 --> 00:25:08.559
if that's right.
492
00:25:08.599 --> 00:25:10.880
So I was about to say, what is a sporting event?
493
00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:12.119
What sports event would you?
494
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:13.599
I know this is a bit early, but I'd like
495
00:25:13.640 --> 00:25:15.960
to go to Gotsis, which I believe is Austria, which
496
00:25:16.000 --> 00:25:20.559
is this purely multi event competition. So e Hammer, the
497
00:25:20.599 --> 00:25:22.240
Swiss guy just competed.
498
00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.920
Because they don't often get a lot of coverage much
499
00:25:26.400 --> 00:25:29.359
heptathlon and catholic especially like Diamondleague stuff. They tend to
500
00:25:29.400 --> 00:25:31.359
just follow all the individuals.
501
00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:32.720
So I'd like to go to that next year.
502
00:25:32.759 --> 00:25:33.559
Please when is it?
503
00:25:34.359 --> 00:25:38.319
Just have it? So it's normally early ish season, juneish,
504
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:40.319
so all the athletes are doing it to see where
505
00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:43.519
they're at before any big comps later in the.
506
00:25:45.400 --> 00:25:50.839
We'll speak to logistics and HLS drive for France to
507
00:25:50.960 --> 00:25:54.519
a big road trip. That's bloody Mary thinking Sweeden.
508
00:25:54.960 --> 00:25:59.000
Please concentrate season and there we are. That's my goal
509
00:25:59.079 --> 00:26:06.160
to go and see the got this hyper very good? Actually?
510
00:26:06.279 --> 00:26:07.599
Is it really good?
511
00:26:07.880 --> 00:26:10.640
Really good? I just don't a lot of people would
512
00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:13.920
understand the dialect that I use, which is the from
513
00:26:13.960 --> 00:26:23.119
northern Austria. Is it the town in northern Austria.
514
00:26:20.839 --> 00:26:23.960
Like from like Chisty bang bang? What was that Vulgarian
515
00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:28.279
beacon Vulgaria. We're going to Vulgaria or somewhere. I was like,
516
00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:35.680
sounds very light Bulgaria to me, very light Bulgaria. Okay, question,
517
00:26:37.599 --> 00:26:39.079
I'd like to bring back Mark's bits.
518
00:26:39.160 --> 00:26:41.759
We've stopped that. I'm not happy with that.
519
00:26:42.599 --> 00:26:44.440
Okay, Well, in the town we need to speak to
520
00:26:44.519 --> 00:26:47.519
the we're going to do it directors pretty much? Did
521
00:26:47.559 --> 00:26:50.000
you talked about vertical jump? That's your MANX spits for
522
00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:50.400
this week.
523
00:26:50.440 --> 00:26:50.839
Thank you.
524
00:26:55.000 --> 00:26:57.960
Memorable Euros or football thing. For me, it's like that
525
00:26:58.039 --> 00:27:01.279
James Corden sketch as Smithy of.
526
00:27:01.279 --> 00:27:04.119
The World Cup before the World Cup the Euros. I
527
00:27:04.119 --> 00:27:05.160
don't know actually.
528
00:27:05.039 --> 00:27:09.319
Because three lines was for Euros. Wasn't that I think something?
529
00:27:09.759 --> 00:27:10.279
I don't know.
530
00:27:11.160 --> 00:27:12.759
I just remember him going in doing that.
531
00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:18.400
I still remember. I still remember mare Donna's handball and
532
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:22.759
and that was eighty Do you know the idea.
533
00:27:22.759 --> 00:27:23.680
I've got it written down here.
534
00:27:23.680 --> 00:27:25.720
So Maradonna's handball was eighty.
535
00:27:27.720 --> 00:27:31.799
Shout it out, you know people a bit late earlier.
536
00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:34.440
Eighty six, eighty six, eighty six quarter final.
537
00:27:35.000 --> 00:27:37.359
I do remember that and the outrage that went on
538
00:27:38.240 --> 00:27:39.240
David and Gold, I.
539
00:27:39.200 --> 00:27:41.680
Would say, because that's our era more like for me
540
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:44.839
when because obviously TV back then when had like three
541
00:27:44.920 --> 00:27:47.720
channels to watch, so if the TV was on and
542
00:27:47.759 --> 00:27:49.880
football was on, you sort of tended to watch it. Yeah,
543
00:27:51.359 --> 00:27:53.279
that's a big deal. Then. Now there's like so many
544
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:54.240
things going on in the world.
545
00:27:54.440 --> 00:27:58.559
And I remember when the Americans qualified and how athletic
546
00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:02.160
they were. They all rapid but they kept pulling hamstrings.
547
00:28:03.200 --> 00:28:08.400
I can't remember what year. That was, two thousands. And
548
00:28:08.440 --> 00:28:11.720
then we were in France at the not the last
549
00:28:11.720 --> 00:28:14.720
World Cup, the World Cup before. Weren't we for the
550
00:28:14.799 --> 00:28:17.440
semi final when they won? We weren't there for the final,
551
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:19.039
I don't believe. And that was nice to be in
552
00:28:19.079 --> 00:28:25.480
France while France were playing. So that was have many
553
00:28:25.519 --> 00:28:30.440
eight years ago that I think it's eighteen because it's
554
00:28:30.680 --> 00:28:31.400
twenty two.
555
00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:33.240
Was the last one, so yeh've been twenty eighteen.
556
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.240
I think we were there because we were looking at
557
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:38.920
mauzine and properties and things like that.
558
00:28:39.279 --> 00:28:43.319
I think we'd already got it all right, whatever, whatever, whatever?
559
00:28:44.359 --> 00:28:46.039
Who wrote three lines.
560
00:28:46.200 --> 00:28:52.960
David Badill and and the Lightning Seeds, Oh bollocks, didn't
561
00:28:52.960 --> 00:28:56.319
they sing it? Frank Skinner David Badill and then.
562
00:28:56.559 --> 00:28:58.759
He did the rap? Who did the rap on it? Though?
563
00:29:00.799 --> 00:29:12.920
The footballer Massive thighs Liverpool England Liverpool player Barnes, Yes, that's.
564
00:29:12.880 --> 00:29:17.720
Name rhymes with Bond who rhymes with.
565
00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:23.400
Bond John Bars rhymes with bon John? Yeah, I know
566
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:28.279
it does. But you could have word Bond French word
567
00:29:29.200 --> 00:29:31.039
you speak French. Astream.
568
00:29:31.119 --> 00:29:33.519
It's a city in Germany. Actually bond, thank you.
569
00:29:33.599 --> 00:29:34.519
How do you spell it.
570
00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:37.000
In Germany?
571
00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:38.839
In Germany?
572
00:29:38.920 --> 00:29:42.599
In Germany, well, it's spelled like that in Germany because
573
00:29:42.599 --> 00:29:43.680
it's German town.
574
00:29:44.759 --> 00:29:45.279
Whatever.
575
00:29:47.039 --> 00:29:50.559
And the women, let's talk about the women, shall we? Footballers?
576
00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:57.240
Lionesses do? They play slightly better track record. They're currently
577
00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.720
leading their group and she qualified for the World Cup
578
00:29:59.759 --> 00:30:01.920
in twenty twenty seventh in Brazil.
579
00:30:02.359 --> 00:30:06.119
Ah, they'll get Brazil Lazil. I can't say that, obviously
580
00:30:06.160 --> 00:30:06.519
they can't.
581
00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:13.400
Who is the Lioness's women Lioness's manager.
582
00:30:13.160 --> 00:30:13.480
Don't know.
583
00:30:13.599 --> 00:30:17.799
She stepped down in sheath the German Vegman Sabrina Vemus
584
00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:18.359
at the moment?
585
00:30:18.400 --> 00:30:19.000
Is that the same?
586
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:19.920
She's still there?
587
00:30:20.119 --> 00:30:21.960
Okay, I thought she was stepping down.
588
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:24.799
Who knows? Who knows?
589
00:30:25.079 --> 00:30:27.000
Do you think there's a question to you that the
590
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:30.599
national team should have someone from that country coaching them?
591
00:30:30.880 --> 00:30:33.000
I still feel that they should.
592
00:30:34.200 --> 00:30:34.279
That.
593
00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.440
I don't. I'm not that I'm against someone else, but
594
00:30:37.480 --> 00:30:39.000
I just feel, yeah, I know what you mean.
595
00:30:39.880 --> 00:30:41.160
It happens in rugby as well.
596
00:30:41.160 --> 00:30:43.960
We have international Oh yeah, yeah all the time.
597
00:30:44.079 --> 00:30:46.960
Eddie Jones, all of that, Yeah, was Eddie Jones, the
598
00:30:46.960 --> 00:30:50.759
first non brit.
599
00:30:50.640 --> 00:30:56.119
We had a Kiwi before that we had. I don't know,
600
00:30:56.839 --> 00:30:59.440
but I know what you mean, because it's like in well,
601
00:30:59.480 --> 00:31:02.160
you know, you're saying against imagine you've got like England Germany.
602
00:31:02.720 --> 00:31:04.880
That's why I think Southgate brought back them kind of
603
00:31:04.880 --> 00:31:07.920
that feeling of national pride for the players again because
604
00:31:07.920 --> 00:31:12.359
he's actually lived and breathed it himself. I don't know,
605
00:31:12.880 --> 00:31:14.880
just a question to be put out there, not that
606
00:31:14.960 --> 00:31:16.759
I'm against anyone else's guy. Yeah.
607
00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:18.279
Sometimes I think it's the best person for the job,
608
00:31:18.319 --> 00:31:19.799
who's going to get the job. They look at it
609
00:31:19.839 --> 00:31:23.400
as a job, I suppose, rather than the weirdest is.
610
00:31:23.319 --> 00:31:26.359
When they stand and they sing the national anthem and
611
00:31:26.400 --> 00:31:29.880
they're like, Okay, if you weren't English, would you sing
612
00:31:29.920 --> 00:31:33.920
the nation anthem if you were the England head coach? Yeah,
613
00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:35.559
I think and you were you were German.
614
00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:38.720
I think so because you are part of that squad.
615
00:31:39.240 --> 00:31:41.119
Okay, okay.
616
00:31:41.440 --> 00:31:43.440
And the whole point is I suppose they look at
617
00:31:43.440 --> 00:31:46.039
it as a job and they're basically their job is
618
00:31:46.079 --> 00:31:49.279
to get a football team to the top or whatever,
619
00:31:49.359 --> 00:31:51.240
eighteen to the top and win.
620
00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:54.799
And the best national anthem Argentina Argentina.
621
00:31:55.079 --> 00:31:58.640
I do like Ireland when they do. Anyway, I don't
622
00:31:58.640 --> 00:32:00.960
really hear it in the football so much. Yeah, and
623
00:32:01.039 --> 00:32:03.839
Wales namely a Welsh football I.
624
00:32:03.759 --> 00:32:08.839
Know too of Welsh footballers, Ryan Giggs, and I was
625
00:32:08.920 --> 00:32:11.359
gonna say, George North, who's the guy that's now a
626
00:32:11.400 --> 00:32:19.400
brilliant golfer, Gareth Gareth Bail. I don't know Gareth Bates.
627
00:32:19.400 --> 00:32:20.400
I know that's Gates.
628
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.240
I mean we're Roberts, so we should really be supporting Wales.
629
00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.400
But this is the thing, they don't really have a team,
630
00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:36.000
suppose Welsh. I'm just saying it's not. Welsh are primarily more.
631
00:32:35.880 --> 00:32:39.559
Of a rugby nation, true, not anymore.
632
00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:43.759
They're falling a part and historically alright.
633
00:32:43.920 --> 00:32:50.440
Historically speaking generally, so I think it's a tough call.
634
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:52.960
Yeah.
635
00:32:53.279 --> 00:32:56.960
Then you think of like Haiti, I mean Panama, like
636
00:32:57.039 --> 00:32:57.559
some of these.
637
00:32:58.279 --> 00:32:59.519
They're not qualified, I don't think.
638
00:32:59.599 --> 00:33:05.039
But Sam Marino, who boy George competes sang for the
639
00:33:05.200 --> 00:33:11.000
europe Vision but recently just been yeah who won the Eurovision?
640
00:33:13.200 --> 00:33:16.200
I don't know. Okay, did we do well? We had
641
00:33:16.200 --> 00:33:18.359
an English guy obviously he.
642
00:33:18.400 --> 00:33:19.880
Was English guy, but singing in German?
643
00:33:20.720 --> 00:33:21.359
Who are guy?
644
00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:21.759
Yeah?
645
00:33:22.920 --> 00:33:29.240
You don't understand. From Bond nine Nina.
646
00:33:29.599 --> 00:33:34.440
Yeah, well, I think we've exhausted our knowledge on the
647
00:33:34.480 --> 00:33:34.960
World Cup.
648
00:33:34.960 --> 00:33:37.240
It's coming up fifteen days time.
649
00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:41.039
Are we haven't seen normally there's like loads of English people.
650
00:33:41.079 --> 00:33:42.440
Do you sort of get into it a bit more?
651
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.359
I think when it first starts it's sort of I
652
00:33:44.400 --> 00:33:45.799
do like builds a momentum.
653
00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:47.960
Yeah, I mean it was. I mean, unfortunately there was
654
00:33:48.000 --> 00:33:50.599
quite a few arrests with the arsenal celebrations.
655
00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:52.599
In town, but that's not surprising because it's like that
656
00:33:53.559 --> 00:33:57.680
together when we saw clips of our friends Tim and
657
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:02.480
other people who were there looked lovely, lots of families, kids,
658
00:34:02.880 --> 00:34:05.359
and think you're anywhere there's always going to be no beds.
659
00:34:05.680 --> 00:34:08.280
Yeah. Technically as well, the police helps a.
660
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:12.599
Plight Operation Pad Yeah, I think that probably is Operation Paid.
661
00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:16.480
I can see the visuals that they use for it
662
00:34:16.519 --> 00:34:18.880
as well, so instead of a policeman's helmet, it's just
663
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:21.119
a head.
664
00:34:21.639 --> 00:34:23.679
Well, I would have really raised the tone of this
665
00:34:23.960 --> 00:34:25.840
podcast again as.
666
00:34:25.760 --> 00:34:29.719
Always, Operation not Paid, So we've got to viral whatever
667
00:34:29.760 --> 00:34:35.639
they call them. Operational Head and Vinnie Jones money in it.
668
00:34:36.679 --> 00:34:38.960
So he's mellow down there, right and you could take
669
00:34:39.039 --> 00:34:41.519
him on a fight arm wrestle.
670
00:34:41.559 --> 00:34:43.880
I could be an arm wrestle, could you Okay?
671
00:34:44.840 --> 00:34:46.960
I think he probably trying and bite me or something.
672
00:34:47.519 --> 00:34:49.480
He would my head butt me across.
673
00:34:49.880 --> 00:34:53.719
I think we should organize an arm wrestle arm wrestle,
674
00:34:53.800 --> 00:34:56.519
and then whoever wins you get all his earnings from
675
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.960
nineteen ninety seven, I get of his earning.
676
00:35:00.199 --> 00:35:01.800
What about if he wins.
677
00:35:01.880 --> 00:35:03.639
Then he gets twenty percent of your ownings?
678
00:35:03.679 --> 00:35:04.119
Good luck?
679
00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:07.840
