Speaker: How are you doing?

Speaker: How's it been?

Speaker: How's your week?

Speaker: Yeah, good, man.

Speaker: Really good.

Speaker: Busy week.

Speaker: How's that Bugatti?

Speaker: Yeah, tiring.

Speaker: Tiring, expensive.

Speaker: Yeah, I can imagine, man.

Speaker: Speaking of that Bugatti, I was watching there.

Speaker: There's this guy who used to do YouTube.

Speaker: And him and his father used to, in London, like a very well-known established car rental business, right?

Speaker: From Bugatti to Rolls, a shit dozen of G-Wagons and so on.

Speaker: But, you know, Bugatti was the main one.

Speaker: And they had just been raided by police.

Speaker: Oh, shit.

Speaker: Once he does report again, this is all.

Speaker: Sorry, we're not naming names.

Speaker: I'm not naming names.

Speaker: Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker: But finally got raided by police because it was just a front for his uncle's drug empire.

Speaker: Dude, are these guys just copying my fucking script?

Speaker: What is going on, bro?

Speaker: What is happening?

Speaker: They heard it, and all of a sudden, it's jumped on.

Speaker: That's why I shared it with you, because it sounds like a script.

Speaker: But yeah, no, literally, I just read it before we came on.

Speaker: That's pretty good, actually.

Speaker: Send me the article.

Speaker: I might get some inspiration from that, to be honest.

Speaker: How does it, yeah?

Speaker: No, sorry.

Speaker: Let me just clarify.

Speaker: I mean for the script only, okay?

Speaker: I don't mean... First of all, I don't have the money to purchase any Bugattis, even on loan or nothing.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: Nothing, bro.

Speaker: even to purchase a bag never mind are you kidding me i can't even purchase the the tire caps yeah but now i'm seriously though you've been well i've been well i've been well just uh well you know work and home and stuff and i look forward to these uh to these chats yeah you know with this yeah it's like a catch-up like a roundup it's and then we plan for the weekend ahead you know i mean for us it's

Speaker: the week is split into two.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: You've got the weekdays and then you've got the weekends and so on.

Speaker: You've got the weekday pods and the weekend pods.

Speaker: That's what it is.

Speaker: P1 and P2.

Speaker: Yeah, P1 and P2.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: And I look forward to them because, you know, there's a lot that we can just get off our chest.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: Like, ugh, it's on your chest.

Speaker: Yeah, absolutely.

Speaker: Stuff that you can't say to your wife.

Speaker: Maybe that should be the name of the podcast, really.

Speaker: Stuff that you can't say to your wife.

Speaker: Love that, by the way.

Speaker: I feel like you can't even complain to your wife.

Speaker: Fucking hurt my neck today.

Speaker: I don't even know how.

Speaker: This is how I'm getting old.

Speaker: My father rang, so he answered the phone.

Speaker: And because I was outside, I tried to put my hoodie on.

Speaker: Mine is three degrees.

Speaker: I was like, I'm going to put my hoodie up here.

Speaker: And as well, I'm holding the phone and moving my neck into position so I can lift my arm.

Speaker: Oh, no.

Speaker: I felt a twitch on my neck.

Speaker: Now I feel like those guys are fucking walking around after being in the car.

Speaker: I said, I'm whiplash.

Speaker: They're like,

Speaker: I got in the car driving.

Speaker: The old Batman.

Speaker: Yeah, it's me.

Speaker: I was looking to the right because I pulled up to a junction afterwards because I needed to go to the shops.

Speaker: I pulled up to a junction.

Speaker: I was like, I can't look right.

Speaker: As you can see in the car, this was me.

Speaker: I bet you scared some people.

Speaker: What the fuck is he doing?

Speaker: It's the whole body movement.

Speaker: I was like, if there was anything below eye level, I was like, excuse me, can you get that for me?

Speaker: Because I can't look.

Speaker: It just looks suspicious.

Speaker: When you try to move your whole shoulders to turn right, it looks suspicious.

Speaker: I was moving the whole torso.

Speaker: I was like... Anything just to move some shoulders.

Speaker: All the movement just came from the hips.

Speaker: See, if listeners can see this right, it's even funnier because obviously we both sat down and when you do that, it just looks like you're on some sort of rotating hip or some shit.

Speaker: Just fucking bullshit.

Speaker: Well, the listeners need to let us know.

Speaker: Do they want to see us live?

Speaker: Do they want to see visuals of this?

Speaker: Or do they simply prefer the audio?

Speaker: I mean, yeah, if you want to see the amazing... We don't really care, do we?

Speaker: We're going to do it regardless.

Speaker: We just couldn't do it anyway.

Speaker: If they want to see the paint in the background, yeah, absolutely.

Speaker: Absolutely.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I was thinking about changing my paint.

Speaker: I don't know how to do it, but maybe have the Chelsea flag on the back.

Speaker: And then you have the Arsenal flag.

Speaker: I like that.

Speaker: In that way.

Speaker: I think you just have to, well, obviously we won't do it now because we're recording, but I think you can just add your own picture from the file.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: That's a good shout out, actually.

Speaker: You know what?

Speaker: That's good.

Speaker: That's good.

Speaker: But whilst it's just me and you watching, it doesn't matter, does it, really?

Speaker: I know you're a Chelsea fan.

Speaker: I know you're a Chelsea fan.

Speaker: Even the listeners are a Chelsea fan.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: Well, that's the whole point.

Speaker: Have you been watching anything this week?

Speaker: Anything exciting that you've watched or seen or read or heard or?

Speaker: um i obviously i finished the brother's son which is really which is really good yeah and as i've said i've said in the group as well uh to our dear friend who's asked the question which we will answer at the end of the pod um he obviously he's watching it right now he's enjoying it and uh i finished that which is good and uh i've started watching ozark yeah yeah i had a good thing about that one yeah yeah isn't it like where the family is like they literally move cartel or something and move and just to be

Speaker: The whole premise is basically the guy launders money for, he's a very good financial advisor, launders money for one of the cartels.

Speaker: And in the first episode, it's just boom.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: You're straight into the action.

Speaker: The cartels.

Speaker: It's like, God damn it.

Speaker: Yeah, no, no, no buildup.

Speaker: I mean, obviously, as much, you've seen Breaking Bad, haven't you?

Speaker: Yes, but a very long time.

Speaker: I was like back up north when I...

Speaker: Oh, yeah, that is a long time.

Speaker: Shit.

Speaker: Damn, that is a long time.

Speaker: Yeah, I haven't seen it since then, yeah.

Speaker: But with Breaking Bad, as good as it was, it did take a few episodes.

Speaker: Yeah, it was slow.

Speaker: Yeah, it was very, very slow, which is, in a way, when you think back, it's like, oh, that's actually quite good because it builds more into the, you know, into the normal day of a person.

Speaker: I agree with you there because you get to see that.

Speaker: But on reflection, you're like, actually, it was really good because we needed that slow buildup.

Speaker: to get to know the characters and so on.

Speaker: That's right.

Speaker: But if you're watching it, you're like, eh, not for me.

Speaker: You can very easily tell you.

Speaker: Exactly, that's what I mean.

Speaker: Give me something.

Speaker: Give me something else.

Speaker: Like, let's see.

Speaker: But yeah, once you stick to it, then yeah, you're kind of grateful for the slow beginning for the first two, three episodes.

Speaker: You're like, actually, it needed those two, three episodes.

Speaker: Yeah, 100%.

Speaker: But yeah, Ozak.

Speaker: So this one is full on.

Speaker: Oh yeah, this is like straight from the, it sort of sets it up quite nicely.

Speaker: But again, I'm yet to watch a show that,

Speaker: matches Breaking Bad in that sort of slow burn and then all of a sudden it's like, oh my God, we're actually in with this guy and you know what I mean?

Speaker: Like that feeling that you get when you watch Breaking Bad but there isn't many shows like that or any at all to be honest.

Speaker: I don't think we'll see many like that to be fair, mate, unless there's going to be a Balzy director who just says actually this is what, let's put some good shows on again because we're in the age now where TikTok and short videos of Instagram, everything is 10 seconds.

Speaker: If you don't grab the attention within 10 seconds, people are like,

Speaker: Next video.

Speaker: I'm sure guys can relate to this.

Speaker: I don't know if you can.

Speaker: I'm sure you can as well.

Speaker: You go to the toilet and before you know it, you've been in there like flipping half an hour and you think like, what the fuck am I still doing here?

Speaker: You've just gone down a rabbit hole of YouTube shorts or like Instagram or TikTok or whatever other socials you've got.

Speaker: You're just constantly like, what the fuck?

Speaker: What?

Speaker: How do they build that with bamboo sticks?

Speaker: Wait, did I actually end up on Telegram?

Speaker: How did I end up on Telegram?

Speaker: What am I doing on Telegram?

Speaker: It's like that kind of way of a guy.

Speaker: You're sat there going, did I eat today?

Speaker: I feel like we mentioned Cat Williams, you know, on an unhealthy, unhealthy amount of times.

Speaker: I bet there ain't shit in there, man.

Speaker: But staring at the fridge, love that.

Speaker: But yeah, so Ozark's been, I'm enjoying it.

Speaker: I'm on season two right now.

Speaker: Because I started watching it a while ago.

Speaker: But like I said, I was expecting more of a Breaking Bad style show.

Speaker: But then when I didn't get it, I thought, oh my God, no, I need to stop watching this.

Speaker: But then I just stuck with it and it got really interesting.

Speaker: But yeah, what's been more interesting is a guy on YouTube called DIY Perks.

Speaker: I don't know if you've ever seen his channel.

Speaker: I will send you a link, right?

Speaker: Because what he did on his latest episode was just mind fucking blowing.

Speaker: And I will say it fully like that.

Speaker: He basically, he took a part of PS5 and he used the motherboard of a PS5 and he actually made it into a handheld tablet, into a handheld tab.

Speaker: I'm not even kidding.

Speaker: Like this, we talk about half an hour of the toilet.

Speaker: That's literally what I did last night.

Speaker: 12 o'clock.

Speaker: I found myself in time.

Speaker: I'm like, why am I still here watching this guy?

Speaker: But I can't take my eyes off it because he is so good at what he does.

Speaker: Like,

Speaker: Honestly, mind blowing.

Speaker: He literally so basically you can pick this thing up, which has got a PS5 motherboard in it.

Speaker: It's like an iPad, but a bit thicker, obviously, as you can imagine.

Speaker: And you can literally just take it anywhere to plug it in and take it anywhere.

Speaker: It's like a portable PS5 with the built in screen.

Speaker: Unreal, unbelievable.

Speaker: And I will send you the link and just make sure that an old time.

Speaker: Has he done that long time ago?

Speaker: Like because the PS5 of Sony not PS5, so Sony have brought out a portable handheld that kind of connects your PS5.

Speaker: Oh, no, no, that's just like

Speaker: That's just for streaming the games off the PS5.

Speaker: Yeah, that's what I mean.

Speaker: Whereas what he built, it's actually, like, basically, it's a portable PS5 that you can obviously still use the controller normally.

Speaker: You don't have to have a TV or anything like it.

Speaker: You just take it anywhere, plug it into the main socket because it's got a power cable.

Speaker: Into the main socket, boom, you're playing.

Speaker: OLED screen, OLED screen.

Speaker: Unreal, man.

Speaker: This guy needs to start partnering that shit and just be like,

Speaker: Sony would have a problem with that.

Speaker: I know, but they do customization to shoes and customization to cars.

Speaker: This is a customization to your PS5.

Speaker: I think he can get away with it.

Speaker: I think he can get away with it because he obviously sort of builds it only for content creation and for personal use.

Speaker: while obviously showing people.

Speaker: But, you know, it doesn't, you know, there's no way.

Speaker: Sony needs to bring this guy in, if anything.

Speaker: Bring this guy in.

Speaker: Why?

Speaker: Why, though?

Speaker: He's better than everyone at Sony.

Speaker: Why would he want a job with Sony?

Speaker: No, no, I get that.

Speaker: Yeah, exactly.

Speaker: And he's making so much more money.

Speaker: He's got 4 million subscribers, man.

Speaker: 4 million subscribers.

Speaker: I know, the 4 subscribers.

Speaker: But he'll probably sell 10 million copies of that and just get, like, I don't know, a small, a small, not even a small, I'll just say, like, I'll go 50-50, you know?

Speaker: Yeah, I agree.

Speaker: Sony will need to make money.

Speaker: If he does it, patterns it.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker: This is that Dragon's Den coming in.

Speaker: I'll want 10p or a pound for every unit you sell.

Speaker: Yeah, but that's a lot of units, mate.

Speaker: That's a lot of units.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: So, yeah.

Speaker: So, that was very, very interesting.

Speaker: And before that, he built this very slimline PS5.

Speaker: Can you see that on screen?

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Literally about this big.

Speaker: Less than an inch.

Speaker: Less than an inch, but he built it all in copper, in the copper finish.

Speaker: It blew my mind hole.

Speaker: I don't even know what this guy used to do.

Speaker: I think some sort of

Speaker: at some point in his life.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: Yeah, it could well be, to be honest.

Speaker: It could well be.

Speaker: But yeah, what about yourself?

Speaker: Anything interesting?

Speaker: To be fair, we've been watching a little bit of just the Easy Watch, Percy Jackson on... Okay, okay.

Speaker: Not great.

Speaker: I thought it was going to be like one of those because obviously, you know, the books and the movie came out a while ago.

Speaker: But the TV show itself is just a bit... It's kids.

Speaker: It's a kids show, really.

Speaker: It's not like for adults watching it.

Speaker: So then we kind of gave up on that after a couple of episodes.

Speaker: We watched Jack Reacher.

Speaker: We're still on that.

Speaker: We're still bumming a bit of Jack Reacher on his step right now.

Speaker: Well, we've caught up, obviously, we're waiting episode per episode.

Speaker: We missed a couple of episodes due to, obviously, having a baby and so on.

Speaker: So then we had... It was nice when you had to watch two episodes or three episodes on The Bounce.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah.

Speaker: And going back to that weekly wait, you're like...

Speaker: come on like just put it on there will you yeah yeah yeah i used to do that with uh with better call soul when when it first came out on netflix i used i watched the first episode and i used to think you know what i'm gonna wait until april because that's when the show like one season finished

Speaker: I used to wait until April, until they're all available, and then just binge the hell out of them.

Speaker: That's the thing, yeah.

Speaker: I just love binging.

Speaker: I just love binging, especially if it's gripping as a show.

Speaker: You think, why am I waiting a week?

Speaker: Where can I find this thing?

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: Yeah, it's difficult.

Speaker: I suppose it's good for you to be able to withdraw yourself for a little bit, in a way, but then again, you're kind of like for your own bit.

Speaker: You just want to sit there and just binge, watch one after the other, one after the other, and finish it in two days, and you're like, do you know what?

Speaker: I thoroughly enjoyed that.

Speaker: Thoroughly enjoyed that, yeah.

Speaker: Now I'm living a little bit about my life.

Speaker: Yeah, because I'm not thinking about it constantly.

Speaker: That's it, exactly.

Speaker: That's the downside, isn't it?

Speaker: Because when it finishes, it's like, what did it just finish?

Speaker: Oh, who can wait till Friday?

Speaker: Or who can wait till whatever day it is?

Speaker: But yeah, that's what we've been doing.

Speaker: And then, to be honest, I haven't had much time to watch TV.

Speaker: I've not even watched any of the 40 that happened this week.

Speaker: The FA Cup replays.

Speaker: I've not watched anything on AFCON, Asian Cups, nothing like that.

Speaker: And I've just been busy, to be fair.

Speaker: Today, did a bit of manly stuff.

Speaker: Did you go spit and shave and stuff?

Speaker: Yeah, spit.

Speaker: No, I didn't shave.

Speaker: Oh, you didn't shave, clearly.

Speaker: As you can see.

Speaker: My father-in-law's car had the engine, checked the engine management light, so I took it to the mechanic to put it on the computer, and he just said it was a code, so I quickly Googled what the code is, and then just trying to get it fixed, and, you know, like, get the tools out, jack the car, quick.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Crick, crick.

Speaker: And he was fine.

Speaker: We did it.

Speaker: And I was like, don't worry.

Speaker: Although I was very disappointed at the fact that he was like, no, it's okay.

Speaker: Don't worry.

Speaker: Don't worry.

Speaker: You are not.

Speaker: I was like, trust me.

Speaker: I can do this.

Speaker: It is not that hard.

Speaker: It's a challenge for you at that point.

Speaker: So yeah, that's literally what it was.

Speaker: I put that part on.

Speaker: But I felt a little bit, what's the word?

Speaker: Unappreciated because I told him something and then he was like, yeah, let me just ask somebody.

Speaker: And he asked the other guys the same question.

Speaker: And I was like, did he not believe me?

Speaker: I looked at my partner and my wife was like, don't worry, don't worry.

Speaker: I was like, no, you can't not worry.

Speaker: You're not going to be able to sleep now for a week.

Speaker: Just thinking about that moment.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: Stuff like that version.

Speaker: It's like, am I not good enough for you?

Speaker: My dad is the same as well.

Speaker: My dad is like, kind of like feels like as if somebody he's known for longer, just simply based on experience.

Speaker: They're like, no, let me ask so-and-so, let me ask so-and-so.

Speaker: And I'm like, dad, I just told you what it is.

Speaker: You don't need to ask so-and-so, but they ask so-and-so.

Speaker: Why do dads do this?

Speaker: Why do dads do this?

Speaker: I was putting some outside storage unit together.

Speaker: Like again, it was all plastic.

Speaker: It's like clips.

Speaker: It's a clipping in basically.

Speaker: Manly stuff, manly stuff.

Speaker: And it came to covering the holes with the plastic pieces at the end, but I had it kind of upside down.

Speaker: So my father-in-law was like, just turn it over.

Speaker: I was like, yes, like that was my next option.

Speaker: I was going to actually do exactly that.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: And that reminded, it made me laugh a little bit because it reminded me when people go, there's a push and a pull door, like on most doors, and you kind of push, but it's a pull.

Speaker: And somebody goes, it's a pull.

Speaker: And you're like, that is my next option.

Speaker: What do you think I was going to do?

Speaker: Grab it from the fucking bottom and lift it up.

Speaker: I was like, no.

Speaker: I was going to go straight through it.

Speaker: I was going to put my helmet on and my pad so I can run directly straight through this door.

Speaker: What do you think I'm going to do?

Speaker: I had serious road rage today.

Speaker: I don't know if you guys, I don't know if you get road rage now that you've moved out here.

Speaker: I'm going gray because of road rage.

Speaker: All right.

Speaker: Okay.

Speaker: So you get it.

Speaker: Because the way you're shaking your head, I thought like, is this guy just full on?

Speaker: No, no, no.

Speaker: Woosa after I've killed the guy.

Speaker: After I've shot the guy in the face.

Speaker: But for me, it's mainly women drivers.

Speaker: And I will happily say that.

Speaker: I don't care if it sounds sexist.

Speaker: For me, it's women fucking drivers because they've got no fucking common sense.

Speaker: That's what you've experienced.

Speaker: Based on the experiences you've had.

Speaker: They've got no common sense on the road.

Speaker: That's the way I look at it.

Speaker: Go on, tell me.

Speaker: Tell me.

Speaker: I was just driving.

Speaker: This geezer was on the right.

Speaker: Obviously, he was indicating.

Speaker: I was like, assuming I was going to go by.

Speaker: I was in my own lane.

Speaker: I had my own right.

Speaker: He just decided to keep pulling out, like to bully my way.

Speaker: And I was like, no, man, you're not going to bully me.

Speaker: I've worked very hard for this guy.

Speaker: I wonder if I can put my foot down as well.

Speaker: And then he just literally caught.

Speaker: If I didn't stop, he was going to crash into me.

Speaker: And I just thought, I need the car, God forbid, for anything.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: Especially now, a father of two and a little one.

Speaker: I was like, because otherwise I'd have been just hit it, mate.

Speaker: Like, I literally, yeah, I've worked hard for the car, but just hit it.

Speaker: I don't care, because it's your fault.

Speaker: It's your fault.

Speaker: You are the same.

Speaker: I literally, I say the same thing to my wife when I'm, when I'm driving and someone pulls out, I'm like, mate, just hit me.

Speaker: Just please hit me.

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: I'll take some time off work.

Speaker: I'll get some money off you and just, just hit me bro.

Speaker: Just hit me.

Speaker: The car's going to get sired anyway.

Speaker: So yeah, just hit me.

Speaker: It doesn't matter to me.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: It's, it's literally just a bit of tin.

Speaker: I can just get some, uh, what's it, what they call the pullers, you know, the dent pullers.

Speaker: It's fine.

Speaker: Get it from Amazon.

Speaker: The cheapest fuck.

Speaker: It doesn't matter.

Speaker: But no, I think it's, I found out that in London,

Speaker: or in the London area it's basically you know you've got when you pull up to a junction you've got the two the double sort of lines the two uh the double the brake lines yeah yeah yeah so the ones that kind of let you know you must give way yeah so you've got the dotted yeah the double dotted lines double dotted lines

Speaker: London is the only place where that double dotted line gets extended to halfway through the road.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: So I don't understand how that works, but apparently we've got different rules here where it's like, no, no, that's not my junction, mate.

Speaker: That's someone else's.

Speaker: That is literally, listen, I don't understand.

Speaker: That is taught on the lessons here because otherwise you'll be stood on that junction forever because there's so much traffic and so many cars on the road.

Speaker: there is kind of like you just have to clear one way okay so up north when we did our test it was like look both ways is it clear move out then move here it's kind of like look right is right clear block right look left is left clear then go get on yeah so you're coming down the right you just see this geezer pull out in front of you like where are you going mate like but you just have to stop it i feel like that is how they're taught here yeah because now that's what i do now i kind of pull out wait is the next person leaving letting me go and then

Speaker: That's when you've blocked the right-hand lane, or the left lane, because the cars are coming, but to you it's the right-hand side, and you're looking left in Britain, obviously, for the people... Of course, yeah.

Speaker: We're in the UK, so, you know, it's a common sense.

Speaker: So, obviously, you know, you're pulling out.

Speaker: You look right, nothing.

Speaker: You've blocked them, and then that's when they're oncoming traffic from the other side, and as you look to the left, that's when they feel a bit more obliged to let you go.

Speaker: Yeah, because you block the road, yeah.

Speaker: Otherwise, you will literally be sat at that junction for 10 minutes, and nobody will let you pass.

Speaker: I'm doing it in centimetre increments...

Speaker: Just get out there.

Speaker: I'm learning.

Speaker: I'm learning.

Speaker: Don't get me wrong.

Speaker: I'm just trying to be a bit more patient.

Speaker: Just look out the window and just stare at them out and be like, are you really going to hit me, bro?

Speaker: Are you really going to hit me?

Speaker: That I'm doing.

Speaker: That I'm doing.

Speaker: But I'm still, like I said, like every time I'm on the road here, it's just like a centimeter increments at a time.

Speaker: A bit more confidence and pull out.

Speaker: But honestly, today, some guy in the mini, and if that guy is listening to this by some...

Speaker: I swear to God, Ray, in his rearview mirror, he pulled out in the golf.

Speaker: He came out just from the right junction, just pulled out directly in front of me.

Speaker: He decided to speed up.

Speaker: But the thing is, because it's morning, there's traffic ahead.

Speaker: So you can speed up, but you're going to slow down in a matter of seconds.

Speaker: And I'm going at speed.

Speaker: So do you know what I mean?

Speaker: So if I'm not paying attention, I will hit you.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: But anyway, so this guy pulls out and I swear to God, right?

Speaker: All he could see from his rear view mirror was just me doing this to him.

Speaker: And I was just waiting for him to react.

Speaker: I was waiting for him.

Speaker: I would have gave him the birdie, like the little prick.

Speaker: That's what I gave my guy.

Speaker: This guy, he took my foot down and just trying to do it.

Speaker: We stopped at the light, similar to you.

Speaker: And I was just on like waving to him.

Speaker: Yeah, waving.

Speaker: Just like birding and you know, the whole, I was waving.

Speaker: Wishing him well.

Speaker: Wishing him well.

Speaker: Yeah, wishing him well, let's say literally.

Speaker: I was like,

Speaker: I was saying, do you play with, do you play Daz?

Speaker: Is this how you play Domino's?

Speaker: Anyways.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Where do you like it in Daphne?

Speaker: Yeah, well, apparently nowhere.

Speaker: Apparently they just paid for it, really.

Speaker: But yeah, road rage is something that I'm trying to control myself a little bit more because I do not want to stress myself out over some prick in a mini or golf or whatever.

Speaker: Isn't it pointless?

Speaker: Because after a bit, you just think to yourself, why do I even let that bother me?

Speaker: Yeah, because that guy's not thinking about it.

Speaker: He's just going about his business.

Speaker: What's that saying?

Speaker: Living in your head?

Speaker: Rent free.

Speaker: Rent free in my head all the way home.

Speaker: I'm like, this motherfucker.

Speaker: I can't believe it.

Speaker: Go on, I fucking dare you.

Speaker: I dare you to look at me.

Speaker: I'm looking...

Speaker: So I'm looking at his preview mirror and I'm waiting for him to react, but they just look and then they look down.

Speaker: Yeah, just 10-2.

Speaker: They don't even, yeah, they just look like that, like, oh, quick, quick to the left.

Speaker: Hands on 10-2 position, staring directly forward.

Speaker: Honestly, I'm trying to control it, but it just gets more and more difficult because, because it's, it's not even the fact that you pulled out.

Speaker: It's just the lack of common sense of when to pull out.

Speaker: Do you know what I'm saying?

Speaker: Like, okay, look, we're all going the same direction and guess what?

Speaker: We're still going to be stuck behind that traffic, man.

Speaker: It doesn't matter if you're in front of me.

Speaker: I'm right up your ass.

Speaker: First of all, so I'm not going to, it's not like you've created a distance and gone like miles and then came to a stop.

Speaker: No, no.

Speaker: You've just beat me to the traffic first.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: It makes no sense.

Speaker: It's difficult, I'm telling you.

Speaker: Here, it's just so crazy.

Speaker: The more you can drive in as well, by the way, as you get closer to the center, I feel like as if they're trying to push the car runners out a little bit, trying to make it as exclusive as possible.

Speaker: I don't know if other people have felt this.

Speaker: It's just like insurance has gone through the roof.

Speaker: We touched this on last time.

Speaker: Car taxes through the roof.

Speaker: And then there's certain roads, they're just like, oh, you can't go through here, only cyclists and emergency services or local buses, by the way.

Speaker: And it's got a camera, bro.

Speaker: I don't know how many penalties I've had because I've gone through that road before and all of a sudden now there's a camera there and a post that I haven't read because I'm an autopilot.

Speaker: I go through here all the time.

Speaker: Now I've got to deviate and divert and go flipping three miles out to come back to where I am.

Speaker: And I was like, what?

Speaker: And I feel like this is kind of just

Speaker: for car users to be like, ah, do you know what, I'll just get a bike or I'll just cycle or I'll use public transport.

Speaker: But for me, I'm a bit of that Jeremy Clarkson thinking, a car will always be better than public transport, full stop.

Speaker: Doesn't matter where you live in London, Manchester, New York, where you live.

Speaker: Better th an a bike, better than public transport, all of it.

Speaker: cyclists don't even get me started on cyclists mate because where we live and to get to work we have to go through like a b road and the b road is tight enough as it is and the the state of the roads themselves are not exactly good you know i mean there's potholes everywhere and now that it's like minus three minus four whatever it is they get worse progressively worse right and the last thing i need is a fucking cyclist

Speaker: That's taken up a quarter of the tiny little road that I have to go through when there's other traffic coming the other way.

Speaker: And we're talking like vans.

Speaker: And vans don't give a shit.

Speaker: Van drivers, everywhere you go, they don't give a flying toss.

Speaker: If they hit you, they're like, ah, no worries, mate.

Speaker: See you later.

Speaker: I don't care.

Speaker: You call me below the wing mirror, Paul.

Speaker: You call me below the wing mirror.

Speaker: That's your problem now, yeah.

Speaker: Yeah, that's your problem now, yeah.

Speaker: It's your car that's damaged.

Speaker: So cyclists, I am a firm believer that if cyclists are going to use main roads, they have to start paying road tax. 100%.

Speaker: They have to pay road tax.

Speaker: I don't care if you're trying to be fit or healthy.

Speaker: If a car hits you, you will be dead, right?

Speaker: It doesn't matter how healthy you want to be.

Speaker: You will die.

Speaker: And I just want the purge to be a thing for like just one time, just one time, right?

Speaker: Just one time.

Speaker: And those are the first people I am.

Speaker: I willing, willingly will go after.

Speaker: Like I will find them on the road.

Speaker: Just go scoping for them.

Speaker: Like there you are.

Speaker: I found you.

Speaker: I will run your ass over them and then bus drivers.

Speaker: Just join a cycling club, bro, and then just go and turn up with your car.

Speaker: I can't because I'll end up burning all their bikes and bending all their bikes because I've run over them with my car.

Speaker: I agree with you on bus drivers as well, by the way.

Speaker: I just can't stand bus drivers.

Speaker: Most drivers, they think they've got this right to, I'm just going to pull out whenever the fuck I want.

Speaker: It's eternal right.

Speaker: It's my road.

Speaker: I stopped here.

Speaker: Now I can pull out.

Speaker: No, bro.

Speaker: Highway code.

Speaker: Mirror.

Speaker: Signal.

Speaker: Maneuver.

Speaker: Maneuver, yeah.

Speaker: I don't remember anywhere in my driving tests or theory tests to say that, oh, you must give way.

Speaker: No.

Speaker: If I feel it's safe for me to give you way, I will give you way.

Speaker: If I'm at distance and I see you signaling, yeah, no problem.

Speaker: I'll flash you out.

Speaker: Absolutely no issues.

Speaker: But do not just pull out with no signal and expect me to stop

Speaker: And next time I won't stop.

Speaker: And if you hit me, guess what?

Speaker: I'm going to get paid.

Speaker: So I don't give a shit.

Speaker: Either way, either way we're winning.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Bus drivers and cyclists, those are the two people that I hate right now.

Speaker: And it's only happened when I moved to London because I didn't mind them up there in the north because they have a little bit of respect.

Speaker: It wasn't too bad.

Speaker: It wasn't bad at all.

Speaker: They have some respect.

Speaker: Also, there's not that many buses.

Speaker: It comes like once every 20 minutes.

Speaker: Here's like once every five minutes.

Speaker: Yeah, if that.

Speaker: But if here is one to five minutes and so many different bus routes, it's just insane.

Speaker: It's insane.

Speaker: And I agree with you on the bus drivers.

Speaker: That happened to me the other day.

Speaker: I was on the overtake and I was on the rear wheel latch.

Speaker: They're just about to go and the Giza decides to pull out.

Speaker: Just to pull out, yeah.

Speaker: And then they put a hand out.

Speaker: Then he indicated, yeah, put your hand out.

Speaker: Put a hand out.

Speaker: Put a hand out.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: And give me a thumbs up.

Speaker: I'm like, I don't remember letting you out, mate.

Speaker: Like, you know what I mean?

Speaker: Just if I could reach your thumb right now, I'll pull you out your fucking cab.

Speaker: You bastard.

Speaker: But anyway, you know, worst thing for me is when you're coming down a tight road.

Speaker: And this happens every time I drop my little one to nursery.

Speaker: And I have the right of way because cars are parked on your side.

Speaker: My side is clear.

Speaker: Does not mean I'm going to stop for you.

Speaker: I'm going to go about my business.

Speaker: Again, the highway code suggests give way if your road is blocked.

Speaker: My road isn't blocked, bro.

Speaker: My road is clear.

Speaker: So I'm driving.

Speaker: This guy decides to pull out.

Speaker: And like you, I just drive.

Speaker: I just continue.

Speaker: And I make sure I put my car in a position that I'm not going to scratch my alloys.

Speaker: I'm not going to damage my car just because you have made the wrong decision.

Speaker: So I'll continue about it.

Speaker: If you hit me, then you hit me.

Speaker: And then I love it now they stare like.

Speaker: At the beginning, like you, you'll get used to it.

Speaker: At the beginning, I'd be like, what the hell is he doing?

Speaker: Moved, changed my, changed, basically started steering a little bit.

Speaker: Trying to squeeze in the places, yeah.

Speaker: Trying to squeeze, yeah, all that stuff.

Speaker: Now I'm like, now Brad, just do, this is my lane, you crack on.

Speaker: If you want to hit me, hit me.

Speaker: The trick that I found with that is, and something that I told my wife as well when I was teaching her how to drive, is if you're in that position where you kind of like, you know, oh, well, should I give away?

Speaker: Should I not give away?

Speaker: If you see a guy like the car at a distance, then just make sure you position yourself in the middle of the road, and then it's that guy's problem.

Speaker: Like if he comes racing down...

Speaker: it's his problem yeah that's just the way that is you know i mean position you mean middle of the lane right you don't mean middle of the road yeah you don't mean over the whole road you mean like middle of your lane the thing is no but the thing is right because again depending on how tight the road is if there's if it's a tight road and there's cars parked and you're trying to like you know sort of maneuver your way around the parked cars then obviously you will have to go to the other side of the road because where are you going to go do you know what i'm saying i'm not going to

Speaker: Sorry, I thought you meant a situation that I had experience with a driver.

Speaker: No, no, no.

Speaker: I mean, like, if the road's blocked, you just position yourself in the middle of the road.

Speaker: So you've taken up any space that he thinks he has or she has or whatever.

Speaker: You've taken that up now.

Speaker: So then it's up to them to, like, realize, oh, wait, I can't go down there because there is a fucking car coming my way.

Speaker: So if I drive down, I will hit them.

Speaker: It's their problem at that point.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: You've positioned yourself well within your right to do that because where else are you going to fucking go?

Speaker: You're not going to start popping over cars and shit.

Speaker: So do you know what I mean?

Speaker: But it's, yeah, it's stuff that I'm learning very incrementally here.

Speaker: With time.

Speaker: With time, absolutely.

Speaker: But you know what?

Speaker: Should we talk about some football?

Speaker: Should we talk about some... I'll be honest, we can talk about it for you.

Speaker: I haven't seen nothing.

Speaker: I'll be honest with you.

Speaker: I haven't watched anything.

Speaker: Can you talk about some transfers?

Speaker: I saw that interview with Ivan Toney saying that he doesn't think he's going to leave, but then he didn't give any guarantees that he won't leave.

Speaker: And he's just like, I want to stay here and help Brentford, but

Speaker: if an offer comes in, I want to stay and help Brentford, but everybody dreams of playing for a top five, top six club.

Speaker: So what you're saying is, don't be mad at me.

Speaker: I want to stay, but I've also got dreams of and aspirations to do better than you and move on.

Speaker: It's just like, bro, just come out and just say, you guys have been amazing to me, but if Arsenal comes in, I can't turn that down.

Speaker: Which they want.

Speaker: For 100 million, there's absolutely no fucking way Arsenal are going in for them.

Speaker: He needs to speak to somebody.

Speaker: He's getting priced out.

Speaker: If he really wants to move, he needs to do what Gareth Bale did and some other people, which is really shitty, but

Speaker: kind of refuse to train, refuse to turn up to the point where the club have to sell you because the club are ruining your dream, your aspirations by overpricing you.

Speaker: Come on, let's be serious.

Speaker: Ivan Toney is not worth 100 million.

Speaker: Especially after an eight-month ban as well.

Speaker: I don't think so.

Speaker: Not even close.

Speaker: Not even close.

Speaker: That eight-month ban, that should really take like 70 million out of your price tag.

Speaker: easily easily because you haven't played yeah you haven't you haven't played you haven't trained was has he even been training i don't even know i think he's been training is he allowed to was he allowed to train okay i don't know i don't know brenton fans brentford fans i'm sure they'll tell us but for me it's not even about training it's about match fitness because you know you can train all week but if you don't play on the sunday saturday sunday you just don't know how fast the game is and you know what the prem is like you've seen these foreign guys come over and

Speaker: really struggled first season, second, some even second season, like some Chelsea players and so on.

Speaker: And they've left.

Speaker: Yeah, and they've left.

Speaker: Pepe, you guys, yeah.

Speaker: The Mudriksons, the Enzos and so on.

Speaker: So, yeah, one guy that I have seen struggle first season, second season was terrific was Ramirez.

Speaker: I remember when Ramirez came in and I was like, who is this scrawny little lad doing?

Speaker: He's not going to do nothing here.

Speaker: He's going to get battered first season and second season.

Speaker: I don't know what he did, but he just adapted really, really well.

Speaker: And that's the thing, that's what makes a good player as well, like, you know, how fast you can adapt to the speed of the game and how willing you are to adapt to the speed of the game.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: And some players, like I said, for Pepe, for example, he must have thought, oh, well, I fucking did well in Ligue 1 with Lille and shit.

Speaker: And so, you know, I'm the top guy with Arsenal, so I'm not going to adjust.

Speaker: They need to adjust around me.

Speaker: He's like, well, bro, you're out.

Speaker: You play for the league.

Speaker: Trump's not spot or some shit like you play in Turkey.

Speaker: Come on, man.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: See ya.

Speaker: Yeah, you need to be able to have that adaptability as a player and especially at the top, at the elite level.

Speaker: No one will do you any favours.

Speaker: No, I agree with you.

Speaker: I even told you we'll probably have that, but it's just the fact that he's been off for so long.

Speaker: 100 million is too much.

Speaker: Brentford know what they're doing.

Speaker: They're going to put a crazy price tag.

Speaker: If they come and buy him for a crazy price tag, they're willing to go happily and be like, oh, well, we're happy with that.

Speaker: I think...

Speaker: what was the name, Brighton with Caicedo, 80 million.

Speaker: And then I was just sort of like, hold on, let's hold on for another year.

Speaker: Or another six months, we might be able to get an extra 25 from somebody, or 35.

Speaker: I don't even know how much it cost Chelsea.

Speaker: I think 115 or 105.

Speaker: No, 115, wasn't it?

Speaker: 115, yeah.

Speaker: 115, yeah.

Speaker: Declan Rice was 105.

Speaker: And look at it.

Speaker: And so...

Speaker: There's always somebody foolish enough out there to pay those price tax, but realistically... I think that's a January tax on players nowadays because, again, you're mid-with through season, you can't blame them.

Speaker: You can't blame a team like Brentford, for example.

Speaker: They've got aspirations to stay in the Premier League and to cement...

Speaker: a good position in the Premier League, you know, for the foreseeable future.

Speaker: So for them, it's not worth it to sell Ivan Toni at any lower price.

Speaker: They're like, fuck it, you want to buy him that badly?

Speaker: We'll sign for 100 million because they know, shit, we can scrape through this season.

Speaker: We've got 100 mil to spend during the summer.

Speaker: We've got two, three months, you know, to find players or a relevant, like a player who's not maybe not to the same

Speaker: standards of Ivan Toni, but they've got enough money to purchase two, three players who are like, all right, okay, well, we'll just switch them around and see which one works best.

Speaker: But midway through a season, it's difficult because, you know, let's say they sold them for 40 million, for example.

Speaker: Who's Brentford going to get in for 40 million?

Speaker: Like, let's just be honest, they're not a top five club.

Speaker: Absolutely.

Speaker: So how are you going to sell that dream to someone?

Speaker: Even on the 100 million stuff, they'll end up paying 40 million for a person who's 20 million if they become desperate and leave it too late.

Speaker: So this is the thing.

Speaker: If he is going to go for 100 million,

Speaker: or you want top dollar, just say to Arsenal, 180, and then sell him for that, and then make sure you've got links already for his replacement, the 25 million striker that you wanted to bring in.

Speaker: Because the longer you leave it, you become desperate.

Speaker: The other club knows that you have 100 million in your kitty, and all of a sudden they're like, actually, yeah, this player's worth 50 now.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: 100%.

Speaker: They'll be like, well, from the measures of Tony being worth 100, you doubled your 50 million, we're going to double our 25.

Speaker: You're right with that.

Speaker: There's tax there and there's going to be vicious circle for clubs all the time, especially if they buy late or sell late.

Speaker: I mean, we've got, what, maybe two weeks or just under two weeks left in the January transfer window.

Speaker: And again, apart from the likes of Tony or I'm just speaking for Arsenal in general, like, you know, as my team, Tony's been the one that's been sort of the...

Speaker: top target but I don't even think he's been a top target from the actual team.

Speaker: That's just more what fans thinking, oh let's bring Tony in.

Speaker: Personally, I don't think I would never ever pay that much money unless they were willing to sell him for like 30 million.

Speaker: That's the only time I would accept it but any other time I just wouldn't even entertain Ivan Tony.

Speaker: I don't even think he's that good.

Speaker: He's good but he's not that good really, let's face it.

Speaker: He's not a game changer as far as I'm pitching.

Speaker: so and uh obviously there's been there's been talks about uh benzema on lawn but apparently that's going to be a bit tricky now because in order to do that whichever whichever team decides to take benzema on lawn they'll have to pay like 31 million to to the saudi club so for for loaning for loan in benzema so it's 30 plus million because it's

Speaker: It's like he's sort of in breach of a contract, you know what I mean?

Speaker: Like he hasn't been playing, so they're like, well, okay, well, if you want to go on loan, then the other team has to pay the remainder of your wages, which is a lot of fucking money because, you know, they don't offer you that money just to, and then you can be like, oh, I'm just going to pop off, mate.

Speaker: Yeah, I'm just going to head over to the UK.

Speaker: I'm really glad they don't do that.

Speaker: I'm glad they're holding on to that rather than just end up paying silly players.

Speaker: And I'm sure, I'm glad they've got that on their transfer because I hate players who think they can control it.

Speaker: They're like, listen, you can't go to work and demand you get paid by not turning up, right?

Speaker: That's what this is.

Speaker: They're professional footballers, but that's work.

Speaker: It's a business.

Speaker: Chelsea Football Club is a business.

Speaker: Arsenal, El Tifaki, wherever you're playing in Saudi or here, it's a business and they want to make that money.

Speaker: So, yeah, no, I'm glad they've said that to him.

Speaker: But think about it.

Speaker: If you get Benzema, would you not have Benzema for 31 million?

Speaker: On loan?

Speaker: On loan.

Speaker: absolutely not 31 million now you might as well just go and buy it i think having benzema would increase your chances of winning the league like massively 31 million i'll be honest with you right without 31 million would you have a chance let me rephrase the question sorry would you would you spend 31 million to increase your chances to 90 percent or 95 percent chance of winning the league that's 31 million would you do that

Speaker: On loan, no, considering he's been away from the top leagues for at least six months and I don't even think he's been playing that much whilst he's been out there.

Speaker: No, I think that's a massive, massive risk.

Speaker: For 31 million, I'll be honest with you, go in for Giroud.

Speaker: Get Giroud for one year, pay 25 million or whatever you need to pay for Giroud, bring him in and that'll be happier with.

Speaker: Giroud's a quality player.

Speaker: Yeah, he's been scoring goals.

Speaker: He's got 20 or 21 goals and assists this season for AC Milan.

Speaker: Like, why wouldn't you?

Speaker: And that is proven.

Speaker: Okay, fair enough.

Speaker: Some may say it's Serie A, but look, it's a top five fucking league.

Speaker: AC Milan, they're a top team and they have been for the last couple of seasons.

Speaker: They won the league recently.

Speaker: What the fuck?

Speaker: So, do you know what I mean?

Speaker: And they won that because of Giroud's goal contributions, goal and assist contributions.

Speaker: So, yeah, for 31 million on loan for Benzema, as good as he is, and I know that he will be good for a Premier League team, for us, basically.

Speaker: But no, I think that's a massive risk, to be honest with you.

Speaker: Even if it may increase our chances, I don't think I'd be willing to do that.

Speaker: It's too much.

Speaker: It's too much of a risk there.

Speaker: Considering FOPs and stuff like that as well, that I've been kicking in recently, it just makes no sense to bring in someone like that.

Speaker: 31 for a goal scorer, for me, I don't think it'd be that bad.

Speaker: I hear what you're saying.

Speaker: I don't know that he's not been playing and so on, but I feel like he can do that.

Speaker: I don't know whether I'm just fanboying over Benzema Dominique because of the quality striker he is, was... Sorry, let me interrupt real quick.

Speaker: And don't forget that he's never proven himself in the Premier League team.

Speaker: Oh, in the Premier League, sorry.

Speaker: So...

Speaker: He has against Premier League teams because he scored goals against Liverpool and United and Chelsea and whoever he's played in the Champions League City, he scored goals against those defenders.

Speaker: Yeah, but look at the team that he had behind him though.

Speaker: I know, of course, but the chances he had for me, just like, how have you managed to squeeze that in?

Speaker: How have you managed to do that?

Speaker: And this is as a Chelsea fan.

Speaker: And that's what I need.

Speaker: That's what we need.

Speaker: We need somebody who gets half a sniff and just all of a sudden the ball's in the back of the net.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: Now, is he able to do that?

Speaker: Is he capable of that, having Saul?

Speaker: I didn't know, by the way, again, I go back to you.

Speaker: I didn't know he was off for that long.

Speaker: As a goal scorer, it doesn't matter what league you're in.

Speaker: I think we can put the ball into him.

Speaker: He can score goals.

Speaker: But look at Harry Kane left here, went to Germany.

Speaker: 22 goals in six months already.

Speaker: It's crazy.

Speaker: And I know he's got Bayern, but they're second.

Speaker: Leverkusen are first.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Literally Leverkusen are first.

Speaker: But he's sitting there thinking like, will you be plus for Bayern Munich?

Speaker: Yeah, they're second.

Speaker: I saw a meme, right, which basically had Arsene Wenger and Jacker.

Speaker: It basically said Arsene Wenger brought Granit Jacker in 2016 for him to go to Bayer Leverkusen in order to stop Harry Kane from winning the league.

Speaker: Stop Harry Kane from winning the trophy.

Speaker: Love that.

Speaker: Honestly, I cracked at that so much because it's so funny.

Speaker: The internet wins again.

Speaker: The internet always wins.

Speaker: I don't even think these people are real, by the way, who create these memes.

Speaker: I think it's just a machine.

Speaker: AI.

Speaker: Yeah, I don't even think they're real people.

Speaker: Yeah, 100%.

Speaker: Some quantum computer somewhere doing that.

Speaker: But no, quickly, back onto Benzema.

Speaker: For me, I'd have him.

Speaker: For 31 million for six months, I think I'd have him.

Speaker: It's a lot of money.

Speaker: Yeah, you spend money on crazy people.

Speaker: But this would be one time we'd spend money on somebody that is actually worth it.

Speaker: I think it was.

Speaker: But again, going back, I'm a bit hesitant now as I'm saying all this.

Speaker: I'm going to probably really contradict him.

Speaker: But I don't know now.

Speaker: If he hasn't played and he's problematic, I don't know if I'd want that around the club.

Speaker: I would rather go another year sitting 10th or 9th rather than have a bad apple who kind of ruins it for everybody.

Speaker: On the flip side, we are desperate for a goal scorer because Nicholas Jackson's not doing it.

Speaker: Broglie's clearly not doing it.

Speaker: And we'll talk about Breuer and Chelsea rumours as well.

Speaker: But yeah, it's just crazy.

Speaker: I don't think Benzema is the type of player, from what I can see or from what I've seen throughout his career, I don't think he's the type of player that will create problems in the dressing room.

Speaker: But again, if it was 31 million or the remainder of his wages for six months or whatever it is, and then you have the right to purchase him at the end for like

Speaker: a further 15, 20 million or 15 million or something like that max.

Speaker: So fair enough, that could be a deal that I can get on board with.

Speaker: But apart from that, I just, you know, that 30 plus million, just keep it.

Speaker: Fucking keep it.

Speaker: Reinvest in the summer, get someone who's better than that.

Speaker: Because again, you've got to factor in the age of the player as well.

Speaker: And, you know, and like I said, he hasn't played...

Speaker: He hasn't played that consistently for the Saudi club.

Speaker: So, you know, it's just a bit difficult to accept, really.

Speaker: But, yeah, I mean, apart from those two, there hasn't really been anyone else linked with Arsenal so far.

Speaker: Like, I think to the point where we brought back a young striker from our academy who was playing for Motherwell.

Speaker: His name escapes me right now.

Speaker: But Bientel or something or Bietel or something like that.

Speaker: I can't remember.

Speaker: I literally read it earlier today.

Speaker: So we've recalled him from Motherwell and he's got like 10 or 12 goals for Motherwell.

Speaker: 11 goals, sorry.

Speaker: Oh, wow, that's good.

Speaker: So it's not a bad return.

Speaker: But again, you know, academy player, but we've got Eddie Nketiah for that.

Speaker: You know, at that stage, Eddie Nketiah was scoring goals for fun.

Speaker: Emile Smith-Rowe was scoring goals for fun at that sort of stage in their career.

Speaker: So I don't know how much that proves, but...

Speaker: Yeah, I mean, the fact that we've brought someone in like that who can provide a different option, possibly and hopefully, it means that the strike is not really, you know, something that we're as a club.

Speaker: I don't think we're looking to bring in in January.

Speaker: Yeah, we mentioned the difficulties of bringing someone in like that at this time.

Speaker: So you really do need to bring somebody in, especially if you're going to try and win something.

Speaker: And especially if you're going to try and win this league because finishing second again.

Speaker: I know we've had our jokes and stuff like, oh, you finished second, you did this and so on.

Speaker: We tried to rip each other, but obviously my team is doing what it's doing.

Speaker: But anyway, I don't know if some Arsenal fans will sit there and be like, what is going on here?

Speaker: Because finishing second again, they'll look for somebody to blame.

Speaker: You finish second, how are you building on?

Speaker: You brought Declan Rice in, which was fantastic.

Speaker: But then you can't finish second again.

Speaker: Declan Rice is great, but you need other investments.

Speaker: I think you guys have been past six games.

Speaker: You've been crying out for a striker.

Speaker: What was it, a record broken for...

Speaker: most touches in the box and then not scoring against West Ham, you need somebody to come in.

Speaker: As good as it is, this reminds me very much like a Chelsea strategy as well.

Speaker: Like, oh, we've got LinkedIn with another defender or LinkedIn with another midfielder.

Speaker: And you think, where the fuck are they going to play?

Speaker: You can only play four at a time.

Speaker: Four defenders, okay, five defenders, five midfielders maybe at a time.

Speaker: But we need a goal scorer.

Speaker: We are not scoring goals.

Speaker: Bank Lampard is not there.

Speaker: Lampard can't get his goals from midfield.

Speaker: which by the way, shout out to Frank Lampard, I think he's like six on the all-time Premier League scoring from Michigan.

Speaker: How the fuck is he six?

Speaker: Did he reach 200 goals?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Did he reach 200 goals, I think?

Speaker: I believe so, yeah.

Speaker: Like you said earlier, I have no idea around the minutes, but yeah.

Speaker: But we're missing all that.

Speaker: So you guys do need a strike.

Speaker: I think you and Ars are desperate for a striker at the minute.

Speaker: I agree.

Speaker: But we discussed this a few episodes ago, then with that, you know, it's difficult to find the right person to bring in at this stage, again, midway through a season.

Speaker: Because, again, some teams that have good strikers, they'll want them to continue on the good run.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: So it's, you know, it becomes almost an impossibility to even, like, you know, to even think about someone to bring in.

Speaker: But yeah, I think, uh, I think for us, but you and I are not the elites at the, at our clubs, you know, like we have our job day in, day out is not to scout players to bring it in.

Speaker: Like these guys have got these guys who are looking at probably like all leagues around the world, you know, like bring somebody in from Mexico or somebody from Brazil, somewhere in Latin America or far East Asia or somewhere, you know what I mean?

Speaker: Like bring a striker in.

Speaker: You and I can only go off the stuff that we read, the stuff that we hear.

Speaker: Whereas these guys are not relying on other sources to be like, Oh,

Speaker: just heard Larry's a good striker, you know, these guys would have known, would have gone to see Larry play.

Speaker: You know, okay, Larry's not for Arsenal, tick.

Speaker: Let's go try Ricky.

Speaker: Ricky's not for Arsenal, right.

Speaker: Let's go visit somebody else.

Speaker: You know, this is a multi-billion pound business that is performing at the highest level of sport.

Speaker: These guys would already know who to buy.

Speaker: They're probably just not willing to spend the money.

Speaker: Yeah, that's true.

Speaker: That's true.

Speaker: And again, you're right.

Speaker: We can only go from what we can see.

Speaker: You want the money to be spent.

Speaker: Like, you know, I see my team is spending shit loads of money on average, bang average, if not below average players.

Speaker: Some of them, yes.

Speaker: No, no, but to be fair, all of them, like the billion pound that we have spent, have we bought one player that we've got?

Speaker: Oh, you lucky bastards.

Speaker: I can't believe you got him.

Speaker: No, absolutely not.

Speaker: And that's a billion pound spent.

Speaker: Well, Cole Palmer, I would say.

Speaker: Yeah, Cole Palmer.

Speaker: Okay, but even Cole Palmer's not finished tackle.

Speaker: He's 20 year old, 21 years.

Speaker: Too much pressure to put on a young lad.

Speaker: Luckily for us, Phil Foden came before him and he gets all the media hype because if Cole Palmer was getting all the media hype and then he doesn't perform, the British press will turn on him faster than the fuck.

Speaker: I don't know what to compare it to, but they will turn on him quickly.

Speaker: And then all of a sudden he loses his cool or he's not as good as everybody thought he was and so on.

Speaker: So yeah, but for us, I'm happy that he's spending the money.

Speaker: Now I just need him to kind of channel that spend into somebody willing to score or who's good at scoring goals, who's good at defending, who's good at holding play or can do all three.

Speaker: That's why I was like Benzema possibly 31.

Speaker: Just fucking spend it.

Speaker: You're going to spend 100 million.

Speaker: What was it?

Speaker: Ferguson we were linked with?

Speaker: 19-year-old.

Speaker: Come on, bro.

Speaker: Get me Benzema.

Speaker: Get me Benzema for six months.

Speaker: Get Benzema so that Breuer and Jackson can see how you finish.

Speaker: Get Benzema in simply just for training to be like, actually, yeah, this guy's quality.

Speaker: But yeah.

Speaker: No, I agree.

Speaker: I agree with you.

Speaker: It's, it's, it's tough.

Speaker: It's a tough one.

Speaker: And again, because, because of the goals that we're trying to reach, I'm just saying for Arsenal, right?

Speaker: Like specifically the season, the goals that we're trying to reach, you know, that makes it, that adds the extra layer of difficulty because teams are like, Oh, so you need this guy.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Guess what?

Speaker: Guess what?

Speaker: This guy, right?

Speaker: This guy is the best guy for you.

Speaker: So 120 million, mate.

Speaker: And yeah, it just,

Speaker: Right now, it's disappointing, I'll be honest with you, because it's been very quiet, not just in terms of the striker front, but it's been quiet for any reinforcements that we're willing to bring in.

Speaker: And yeah, it doesn't fill me with confidence, and I'm not really looking forward, because Saturday, we've got our first game back.

Speaker: We're facing Palace, I believe.

Speaker: Yeah, we're facing Palace at Selhurst.

Speaker: I think it's at Selhurst.

Speaker: No, no, Palace at the Emirates.

Speaker: It's at the Emirates.

Speaker: Well, there you go then.

Speaker: Yeah, we're facing Palace away after.

Speaker: 1230 kickoff and usually 1230 kickoffs don't really go well for us.

Speaker: And, you know, especially in the last few seasons, they haven't gone well for us.

Speaker: So and especially against a team like Palace, who are who are dark horses, like in terms of, you know, against big teams because they can bring it.

Speaker: They can really bring it and they've got some decent players.

Speaker: So, yeah, it doesn't fill me with confidence that we're even going to be close to second this season because, you know, as we discussed last episode,

Speaker: KDB's back and he's changed everything.

Speaker: He's changed everything.

Speaker: Any plans that teams had before Kevin De Bruyne came back, they've just been shattered now.

Speaker: They've just been shit on.

Speaker: Klopp shitting himself as well.

Speaker: It's like, oh, for fuck's sake, this guy's still back.

Speaker: So he's probably going to send one of his youngsters to be like, right, next time we play Man City, you go in two-footed on that prick.

Speaker: And it doesn't matter about your suspension.

Speaker: I'll pay you for it.

Speaker: I'll pay you fine.

Speaker: Yeah, I'll pay you fine.

Speaker: Don't worry about it.

Speaker: Just go get him done over, basically.

Speaker: So, yeah, look, like I said, in terms of Arsenal, it's been really quiet.

Speaker: Nothing really much.

Speaker: There's been links with that.

Speaker: There's a player called Joshua Zerksi.

Speaker: Yeah, where's he from?

Speaker: He was like somewhere in Spain, wasn't he?

Speaker: I can't remember.

Speaker: I thought it was like Geno or something like that, wasn't he?

Speaker: I can't even remember.

Speaker: I knew you were linked with the Spaniards as well, but they were like, Arsenal were willing to pay his £73 million release clause.

Speaker: And then there was another guy, Chelsea and Arsenal, both linked with the Benfica guy.

Speaker: And I was like, are we really going to Benfica again?

Speaker: Get fucked over?

Speaker: Can I pay release clauses again?

Speaker: They're laughing.

Speaker: They are laughing right now.

Speaker: Yeah, Benfica are just laughing at us right now at the Premier League.

Speaker: But yeah, so I mean, not really anything to discuss about Arsenal's transfer window.

Speaker: And unless the surprise is right at the end,

Speaker: But let's move over.

Speaker: Let's have a little chat about Chelsea, man.

Speaker: Because, you know, you're saying about strikers, but I'll be honest.

Speaker: We're looking to get rid of a striker.

Speaker: We need strikers.

Speaker: It looks like there's rumours that we probably might be letting Armando Breuer go.

Speaker: Do it.

Speaker: Yeah, do it.

Speaker: But it's what they're asking for.

Speaker: They're asking for 50 million, bro.

Speaker: Like, come on.

Speaker: like who's willing to pay 50 million for Brett?

Speaker: I know he's young and I know he can score goals because he proved it when he went to Southampton on loan that year and then he got injured.

Speaker: So maybe he needs some, I don't know, an arm around him.

Speaker: Consistency, yeah.

Speaker: Consistency of run out in the team and so on.

Speaker: And the team also, by the way, when I've watched him, he makes decent runs but they just don't give him the ball like as if Chelsea players want to play that horseshoe football rather than now and again kick it up top.

Speaker: And, uh,

Speaker: But if he goes for 50 million, I'll take that 50 million all day every day because we need to try and hit that financial fair play as well because we have spent crazy amount.

Speaker: But then again, in a way, I'm sad because we lose these academy players that we've brought through who know what it means to be Chelsea through and through, going through, coming through the ranks.

Speaker: In terms of linking with players, we're linked with flipping everybody who's in defense, anybody and everybody.

Speaker: The one player that we're not linked with, which annoys me so much, is Giroud.

Speaker: I don't understand why we are not going after this guy.

Speaker: You mentioned it earlier.

Speaker: We've mentioned it in previous episodes.

Speaker: We need to go after Olivier Giroud.

Speaker: But now that's not happening.

Speaker: We seem happy to sell players to AC Milan, but we don't want to bring anybody in.

Speaker: I don't even want that Liao in.

Speaker: Yeah, even Liao, I don't want his winger.

Speaker: I need an out-and-out striker.

Speaker: I need a number nine.

Speaker: I need somebody who can be up top and be found up top.

Speaker: If the ball's on the wing, he's there in and around the box, you know, not kind of pissing about in midfield somewhere because he went to come and get a touch.

Speaker: I need that kind of player up there.

Speaker: If Tony goes, like, you know, if they're looking for 100 million for Tony, then Rafael Leal is easily going to be in the 110, 120 million.

Speaker: So is that worth it?

Speaker: You've got to ask yourself, is that worth it?

Speaker: What's he proven to be at that price?

Speaker: The thing is, if we're buying Rafael Leal, we've just said goodbye to 80 million pound investment in Mikhail Mudra because we're like, yeah, you're not good enough.

Speaker: But you've just wasted that by doing that.

Speaker: At least give him whatever.

Speaker: He's not finding his feet, but if there's sometimes decent performances in here and there,

Speaker: He's beginning to crawl, basically.

Speaker: He's beginning to crawl.

Speaker: There we go.

Speaker: He's beginning to crawl.

Speaker: That's a good analogy.

Speaker: He's beginning to crawl.

Speaker: But, yeah, I don't want Tony neither.

Speaker: I don't think he's a goal.

Speaker: Most of his goals came from penalties.

Speaker: We've got a penalty taker.

Speaker: Cole Palmer seems to be putting him away.

Speaker: Cold as ice, mate.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I don't know who you would get.

Speaker: To be fair, instead of Giroud, I would spend 100 million and I would spend the Onizak.

Speaker: I would get him and help Newcastle with their financial worries.

Speaker: I agree.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: There doesn't seem to be anybody linked in with Newcastle.

Speaker: I don't even think Newcastle are willing to let him go.

Speaker: They're more willing to let go of Bruno.

Speaker: What's his name?

Speaker: Gimaraes?

Speaker: Gimaraes, yeah.

Speaker: Gimaraes.

Speaker: And rather than laying Isaac go, because they can see Isaac's quality.

Speaker: Isaac is an excellent player.

Speaker: Yeah, great football.

Speaker: You saw the goal he scored against Man United.

Speaker: Absolutely, I did.

Speaker: Against Man City, sorry.

Speaker: When he bent around the keeper.

Speaker: Yeah, it's City.

Speaker: Because they were losing 1-0, 1-1, and then Gordon scored Anthony Gordon.

Speaker: That's right.

Speaker: That's right.

Speaker: That's right.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: So, yeah, for me, Isaac is worth £100 million.

Speaker: That's a £100 million strike.

Speaker: Okay, that I can understand.

Speaker: Respect to Ivan Tony.

Speaker: Isaac is worth £100 million because he is young.

Speaker: He is starting to hit his prime.

Speaker: And he does have a big contract in Newcastle.

Speaker: Don't forget, you've got to pay the length of the contract matters into the, what's it called, the valuation of the player.

Speaker: Because they're going to be like, hold on, he's got three and a half years left with us.

Speaker: We're not really going to let him go for cheap.

Speaker: So, yeah, so, rumour-wise for Chelsea, that's pretty much been it.

Speaker: Nothing in, though.

Speaker: We've got a couple of players who've gone.

Speaker: Ian Mattson went to Borussia Dortmund.

Speaker: I don't know if you remember who he was, the little... Yeah, Mattson, of course, yeah.

Speaker: Well, he's not a man.

Speaker: You know, he came from Burnley.

Speaker: He had a terrific season at Burnley last year on loan.

Speaker: Gained him up into the Premier League.

Speaker: I'm surprised Burnley didn't go back in for him, to be honest.

Speaker: He did.

Speaker: He didn't want to go back in.

Speaker: He wanted to fight his face at Chelsea.

Speaker: But then he just got played out of position.

Speaker: He's a left back.

Speaker: For Burnley, he played right wing.

Speaker: But then Nani Madiwaka seemed to be ahead of him in the pecking order, which I don't understand why.

Speaker: And then if that was a problem, why not play him at left back?

Speaker: We're playing Colwell at left back.

Speaker: Colwell has a bad performance.

Speaker: We're blaming his age and his inexperience.

Speaker: This is his second season in the Premier League.

Speaker: Bro, put him at centre back where he belongs.

Speaker: That's where he needs to play, not left back.

Speaker: Because he's not giving much going forward.

Speaker: That's why Modric was isolated.

Speaker: There is no overlapping happening from him.

Speaker: Chilwell comes, and you saw the difference.

Speaker: Chilwell will do it.

Speaker: Chilwell's up and down all the time.

Speaker: But anyway, that's why Matt said it.

Speaker: So yeah, he's gone.

Speaker: He's at Dortmund.

Speaker: So we wish him all the best.

Speaker: And hopefully he can come back a terrific player like Jude Bellingham, Haaland, whatever Dortmund do to their academy, whatever juice he puts them on.

Speaker: They sell it to Bayern, really, don't they?

Speaker: That's what they do.

Speaker: They get a prep for Bayern.

Speaker: That's literally what it is.

Speaker: But no, he's our player.

Speaker: He's not going fucking nowhere.

Speaker: Just get him good for us, and then that's it.

Speaker: No, that's a fair point.

Speaker: Same to you though, same as you, very disappointed.

Speaker: Nothing happening yet.

Speaker: Nothing's happening, yeah.

Speaker: And again, it's coming up to the end now.

Speaker: So, well, it's still got a week and a half and a lot of things can happen within a day really.

Speaker: But again, you're right.

Speaker: You said we don't know what's going on in the ins and outs of the actual team and behind the scenes, basically.

Speaker: We don't know what conversations they're having.

Speaker: They're probably sat there going, fuck all these media, right?

Speaker: We're going to wait until the last three days to announce this player that we've already bought that no one knows about.

Speaker: More than likely.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: It'll be difficult because there'll be people out there who will whisper and get the story out, but I hear what you're saying.

Speaker: That'd be sweet.

Speaker: That was definitely an over-exaggeration, by the way.

Speaker: We're trying to emphasize on a point.

Speaker: We try to do our driving lesson if you're going back to reminiscing times, and we try to pass without telling each other and just turn up and pick each other up on the car.

Speaker: I don't know if you remember that.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: That's literally what it'd be like.

Speaker: I'm going to do all this, but I'm not going to tell him I've passed.

Speaker: And then even when I do pass, I'm keeping it quiet until I buy a car and then just turbo buy the car.

Speaker: So yeah, good times.

Speaker: But no, it's funny.

Speaker: It's funny that you mentioned that, right?

Speaker: With the driving, with the driving, like passing your test and getting your first car, because I remember that the first passenger that I had in my car, my first car, do you know who it was?

Speaker: No, it was your brother.

Speaker: My brother.

Speaker: Why would you have my brother?

Speaker: Because I think you were working and your bro was basically, because I think you just moved in close to us at that point.

Speaker: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Speaker: Yeah, I think you did.

Speaker: Yeah, you must have done, obviously.

Speaker: And I was going to pick up the car that day, but I didn't have anyone else.

Speaker: And then your brother was like, I'll come with you.

Speaker: So I was like, all right, cool, yeah.

Speaker: And do you know why I remember that?

Speaker: Yeah, we moved back close to you, didn't we?

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Do you know why I remember that, right?

Speaker: Because, again, stupidly, watching too much Fast and Furious, right?

Speaker: do you remember you remember where i used to live right you know about the house and then the big field in front right well the field in front and it was behind the front of the house changes the services don't tell people about that but there was the big field in front of the house um and then the main road so basically i remember he was in the car was coming up coming up the main road and then at the top of that field there was like a little uh like a little sort of

Speaker: slope basically where the cars can go up so stupidly i thought it'd be a good idea to speed up a little bit pull the handbrake but when i did that i pulled the handbrake and the car didn't move obviously because the front wheel drive so it wasn't gonna do shit and i remember hitting the curve whilst i was getting up onto that grass but yeah it was it was actually your brother the first my first ever passenger in my first ever car was your brother that's crazy

Speaker: So, but yeah, that was, you're right.

Speaker: I'll have to ask him to see if he remembers that.

Speaker: See if he remembers that and let me know.

Speaker: Let me know if he remembers that.

Speaker: He might be a good bad luck charm because I've been in the car with him.

Speaker: I pulled a handbraker nice and I went and smashed into the curb and damaged my alloy.

Speaker: And whoever saw me from behind looked like as if the wheel was buckling, but all it was was because the alloy had caved in a certain part.

Speaker: It looked like obviously that piece was in and out, in and out.

Speaker: And just everybody was like, do you know your left tire?

Speaker: Your left rear passenger?

Speaker: I was like, yeah, fully aware of it.

Speaker: You need to screw it on.

Speaker: It's buckling.

Speaker: It's not on properly.

Speaker: No, it's on.

Speaker: It's just a fucked up the airlock.

Speaker: This is what happens when we missed Fast and Furious that much.

Speaker: Listen, no more, bro, no more.

Speaker: Don't even get anywhere near me.

Speaker: Yeah, not in that Bugatti, by the way.

Speaker: Don't let him get in the Bugatti, yeah.

Speaker: Don't let him in the Bugatti, bro.

Speaker: I'm telling you.

Speaker: But, yeah, so, yeah, going back to it, you're right.

Speaker: I don't think, obviously, you know, they can't really keep a secret for that long anyway.

Speaker: So, at some point, it will be coming out.

Speaker: But, yeah, it's just, it's parts of my brain.

Speaker: I'm like, oh, giving me a bit of false hope where it's like,

Speaker: Yeah, I'm sure they bought someone.

Speaker: I'm sure they have.

Speaker: They just haven't announced it.

Speaker: But in reality, they haven't bought anyone.

Speaker: They haven't even discussed anyone.

Speaker: They're out on holiday, like going to fucking warm weather training and then they're coming back to minus five fucking weathers.

Speaker: Yeah, literally that.

Speaker: That's some extremes.

Speaker: That's some extremes right there.

Speaker: So, look, it's... Speaking of some extremes, don't you think like obviously in the lifestyle that some of these players use, just moving on to some of the players looking to leave Saudi, like Jordan Henderson, for example.

Speaker: He's left.

Speaker: He went there.

Speaker: Yeah, he left.

Speaker: But like, he went...

Speaker: And there was controversial in why is he going?

Speaker: He's done this, he's done that.

Speaker: And he's an advocate for gay rights and LGBTQ and so on and going to a country where all that is illegal.

Speaker: And then you kind of see him playing in front of 600 fans.

Speaker: And I was like,

Speaker: How can you listen?

Speaker: You're a millionaire as it is.

Speaker: No, you can never have too much money.

Speaker: Don't get me wrong.

Speaker: I'm sure you're working.

Speaker: You can never get, I made 10 grand.

Speaker: I don't want any more than 10.

Speaker: You know, if somebody offered you 20, be like, no, no, no, please.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: If it's 20, you're not going to be like, that's enough.

Speaker: There's never enough when it comes to money.

Speaker: But you were doing well, bro.

Speaker: I'm sure he was doing well.

Speaker: I'm sure he was doing very well.

Speaker: Why would you leave for Saudi?

Speaker: I don't understand.

Speaker: If you were Muslim and you were practicing Muslim and you lived that lifestyle and so on, you know what I mean?

Speaker: You're very sort of religious and lived the type of way.

Speaker: That's fine.

Speaker: Like N'Golo Kante, thriving over there.

Speaker: Kulabali, thriving over there.

Speaker: Loves it, yeah.

Speaker: What's his name?

Speaker: I forgot his name.

Speaker: The keeper that we sold to...

Speaker: to Saudi, what was his name?

Speaker: I would keep him, man.

Speaker: Mendy.

Speaker: Mendy, thank you.

Speaker: Edward Mendy, loves it over there because these guys are practicing Muslims.

Speaker: Jordan Henderson's from Sunderland, bro.

Speaker: No disrespect, this geezer's not used to like

Speaker: Couldn't be more different as a place, for sure.

Speaker: We are, we are side.

Speaker: He can't be going to Saudi, but now it's clearly that he wants to come back.

Speaker: He's saying using all the reasons I think of, I want to get in the England team and so on, but I think he's just really struggled to adapt to the lifestyle.

Speaker: And hey, nothing wrong with that.

Speaker: You tried it.

Speaker: didn't work for you.

Speaker: It's not for everyone.

Speaker: Even money doesn't make you stay, right?

Speaker: No, of course.

Speaker: And then that proves it to be fair.

Speaker: But even Benzema, like, you know, going back to him real quick, I think the main problems that he was having was that he wasn't getting involved in the club's events that they were having.

Speaker: Right.

Speaker: After matches and stuff like that.

Speaker: So he wasn't getting involved.

Speaker: Whether that's Benzema's Muslim as far as I know.

Speaker: He is.

Speaker: No, he is.

Speaker: He's Muslim, yeah.

Speaker: So in a way, it kind of

Speaker: In a way, it kind of shows that religion may be not the main factor, but I'm sure for Jordan Henderson, it is something that he's more of a culture shock for him.

Speaker: Why would Benzman not do that?

Speaker: This is kind of a question.

Speaker: that's the thing that's the thing but look there's a lot of players that want him to come back and i think the only player for minio wants to come back as well they go oh there you go see there's a player don't bring him back then i swear i need to call up the arsenal you know customer service and be like can you transfer me to edu yeah can you can i speak with edu please because i need to recommend this player oh i don't know if you've heard of him called bobby for me no who scored like i don't know 15 goals against arsenal every time he plays us

Speaker: Please, can you just bring him in so you can score against Liverpool and City?

Speaker: Can you score Forrest this time?

Speaker: Yeah, Forrest, please.

Speaker: Great shout, Bobby Firmino.

Speaker: Great shout.

Speaker: But again, not an out-and-out striker, but he knows how to play that game.

Speaker: He knows how to build a play.

Speaker: He knows how to hold a play and let the wingers get on with it.

Speaker: Which, again, as an Arsenal fan or Arsenal fans listening, they'll be like, well, Jesus does that for us.

Speaker: So again, it's not really someone's bringing it to Jesus.

Speaker: I feel like he's a more clinical finisher than Jesus.

Speaker: Again, I've not watched him that much, but the times that I have watched him, I'm thinking, how the hell has he scored that?

Speaker: What has he scored?

Speaker: How?

Speaker: When you ask that question on how Bobby Firmino scores that goal, I'll tell you how he does it.

Speaker: He runs up to the keeper.

Speaker: He smiles at the keeper.

Speaker: So the keeper's like, whoa, whoa, fucking right, right.

Speaker: No look past, you know what I mean?

Speaker: And when he turns away, the keeper's like, oh, I can see again.

Speaker: Oh, it's too late.

Speaker: It's a goal.

Speaker: Yeah, it's a goal.

Speaker: So I'll always remember that no look goal that he scored against Arsenal maybe about two, three seasons ago.

Speaker: And I think they beat us like maybe 4-1 or something or 4-2 or some shit like that.

Speaker: I was Liverpool at their height.

Speaker: I wasn't at two seasons.

Speaker: Yeah, he came on from the subs bench.

Speaker: He came on

Speaker: and he assisted a goal and then he scored a goal and then that goal he scored was just like, brah, you have no respect for us at all.

Speaker: And you know what?

Speaker: I loved it.

Speaker: I loved it because that's the player that you want, but you want it for your team.

Speaker: You want it on your team, that's it, that's it.

Speaker: So that's a good shout to me for Bobby Firmino.

Speaker: But yeah,

Speaker: So far, like you said, it's been very quiet.

Speaker: Mostly, you've had a player go on loan.

Speaker: We're close to making our first sale in Cedric Suarez.

Speaker: How much is he going for, Cedric Suarez?

Speaker: I don't know, like $800,000?

Speaker: I don't fucking know what he's going for.

Speaker: I can't believe he's still at the club.

Speaker: I'll be honest with you.

Speaker: You're paying them to take him.

Speaker: Yeah, please.

Speaker: Please take Cedric from us.

Speaker: They will also pay his first year's salary.

Speaker: Just his $5 million for Cedric plus a year's salary.

Speaker: Yes, please.

Speaker: The only thing I remember for Cedric Sar was he was decent for Portsmouth and then that scuffle that he had with Lacazette.

Speaker: Southampton, you mean?

Speaker: Yeah, Southampton, sorry.

Speaker: And then that scuffle that he had with Lacazette.

Speaker: Yeah, in the training ground.

Speaker: Yeah, I remember that.

Speaker: I don't even remember anything else.

Speaker: No, but you won't because he hardly played for us.

Speaker: He's a decent squad player.

Speaker: Yeah, but not even that.

Speaker: He's more like a second.

Speaker: It's just moral to have around.

Speaker: Yeah, can you just keep the seat warm for us?

Speaker: Because we've got another player just, you know, he's in the toilet right now, but you just keep it warm.

Speaker: So, yeah, it's been very, very quiet, Rick.

Speaker: And honestly, I really don't have anything else to add on my team and outgoings and incomings and stuff like that.

Speaker: So I don't know if you want to add some more.

Speaker: No, I've got nothing on my team.

Speaker: I've just got a funny thing, obviously.

Speaker: I don't know what you saw about Jose Mourinho being sacked.

Speaker: by Roma good old Jose getting sacked and making I put a thing on chat how much money I think 85 million from being sacked from the same position yeah he loves it he loves it there was a story kit like I saw the not exit interview but there were cameras at the ground when he was leaving the ground and he did look emotional yeah he turned down a huge paying job to go to Saudi Arabia

Speaker: like a huge, like becoming the highest paid manager in the world.

Speaker: To go to Roma, you mean?

Speaker: No, no, to go to Saudi.

Speaker: He turned that down to stay in Roma.

Speaker: Oh, to stay in Roma, that's what I mean, yeah.

Speaker: That's what I mean.

Speaker: Yeah, this summer, obviously, they were like, oh, we want Jose, you know, when they got Ronaldo, Benzema, Kante, and everybody else around the world.

Speaker: And they offered Jose the chance to go, and I think it was like crazy money, like crazy money.

Speaker: And he was like, no, no, I want to stay in Roma, finish what I started.

Speaker: And then to be sacked like that, you just think like, ah.

Speaker: So that must have hurt him a lot.

Speaker: A lot.

Speaker: Because I think he really must have liked Roma because he was like, I trust the owners and so on.

Speaker: That's like he's stabbed in the back, isn't it, really?

Speaker: That's the question I brought this up for, to ask you the question of where do you think he's going?

Speaker: And don't say Chelsea, he's not coming.

Speaker: No, he's not going to Chelsea.

Speaker: Definitely not.

Speaker: Well, I should say definitely not.

Speaker: I don't think it's definite, but I don't think he's going to Chelsea.

Speaker: I think depending on, obviously, I know we had this discussion in the group, maybe Newcastle could be a place for him to go, but I don't know.

Speaker: I don't know if he's going to be a good fit for Newcastle.

Speaker: He may be, I don't know, he may be, he'll get the support for sure, but how long will he last there?

Speaker: Will he be

Speaker: Will he be a permanent fixture for Newcastle or will he just be like, oh, do you know what?

Speaker: Just see us for another season and maybe we can win something because you're Jose Mourinho.

Speaker: But I don't know.

Speaker: I don't think, personally, I don't think Newcastle is a good fit for him.

Speaker: And right now, just go to Saudi.

Speaker: Make your money.

Speaker: Get sacked from Saudi clubs.

Speaker: Do you know what I mean?

Speaker: And get your money from there.

Speaker: And obviously, you're on mute.

Speaker: So it's one of those situations, really.

Speaker: I'm on mute because I was moving the microphone and I didn't go into it while you were talking and then I forgot that I was on mute.

Speaker: But what I wanted to add was, in a way, I feel sorry for how far he's dropped.

Speaker: I don't know whether it's obviously that Chelsea link and the whole thing what he did for Chelsea in that first year, effectively put us on the winning map or the winning run that we went on after Jose Mourinho.

Speaker: Because, you know, like he's been to show like you can have all the money in the world.

Speaker: If you don't have a decent manager, you're not going to win much.

Speaker: You know what I mean?

Speaker: A decent owner and a decent manager.

Speaker: An owner who's got the ball to be like, no, you're not for me.

Speaker: And also a manager who's going to cut players and be like, no, you're not for me.

Speaker: You play my way or the highway.

Speaker: And for Jose, he did that at Chelsea.

Speaker: And he brought in players that I've never even thought of he would work together.

Speaker: He brought in some shady characters.

Speaker: He brought players that he ruined careers or let them go.

Speaker: De Bruyne, Salah, being the two main players there.

Speaker: But for what he did for us, he's still a legend for the club.

Speaker: Winning the first title in 50-something years.

Speaker: Oh, yeah.

Speaker: He will forever be a legend for Chelsea.

Speaker: And that's why I feel like I'm sad the fact that he's fallen so far behind the elite, the clubs, the Guardiolas, the so on, Ancelotti's.

Speaker: And I really, really hope he goes somewhere and he does something.

Speaker: Even if it's Newcastle and he does something with Newcastle, I just want to see Jose Mourinho winning again.

Speaker: But in a way, not as much

Speaker: It's difficult because I want to see my team win it again.

Speaker: Of course, yeah.

Speaker: So that's what I'm saying.

Speaker: Just let him go to a different league that's got nothing to do with Chelsea or the Premier League.

Speaker: So just let him go do something else.

Speaker: He's a character.

Speaker: I'd want him in the Prem.

Speaker: This is me.

Speaker: I really hope.

Speaker: I don't want to see Eddie get sacked.

Speaker: Not Eddie Howe.

Speaker: I don't want to see him get sacked.

Speaker: But in a way, I do want to see Mourinho at Newcastle.

Speaker: A part of me wants to see Newcastle, see what he can do with some of those old-school midfielders, old-school defenders.

Speaker: And it's like up top because he loves the black striker, mate.

Speaker: He loves a striker with African heritage.

Speaker: He loves the black striker.

Speaker: Didier flipping.

Speaker: I even think it was him who brought Adebayor to Real Madrid when they had like Ronaldo and Raul and so on.

Speaker: I think he brought Adebayor in.

Speaker: No, that was before.

Speaker: No, that was way before.

Speaker: That was before.

Speaker: Sorry, ignore me, ignore me.

Speaker: Because Adebayo played for Real Madrid.

Speaker: I don't know if you believe that or not.

Speaker: Did he?

Speaker: I can remember that.

Speaker: Adebayo made Real Madrid.

Speaker: I think he was on loan from Man City or Arsenal or somewhere.

Speaker: He went on loan to Real Madrid.

Speaker: He's definitely not on loan from Arsenal.

Speaker: But yeah, I can.

Speaker: OK, fair enough.

Speaker: For me, that's why I'd like to see.

Speaker: I'd like to see Mourinho do something again.

Speaker: I'd like to see him win again.

Speaker: Yeah, I mean, I think it's...

Speaker: the way that Roma obviously I don't know what goes on behind the scenes but it's harsh the way that Roma got rid of him because you know he won them a title after so many years yeah it was the Europa League wasn't it?

Speaker: He was the Conference League.

Speaker: He's the first manager to win all three major trophies.

Speaker: So there you go.

Speaker: So he won Conference League.

Speaker: He brought fans back into the stadium and he basically revived Roma because after Totti left, you know, Roma wasn't anything.

Speaker: And to be fair, even during the later years of Totti, they weren't anything anyway.

Speaker: They weren't as scary team as they were back in the 90s or early 2000s.

Speaker: But, you know, so he brought that back and for the owners to turn around, unless he's obviously slapped

Speaker: one of the owner's wives or some shit like that, then that's fair enough to get rid of him.

Speaker: But unless he's done that, I just don't see why they would get rid of someone like Jose Mourinho because, again, of the achievements that I've just mentioned.

Speaker: And that's a big feat to bring Italians back to loving their team and filling out the stadiums.

Speaker: It's a big ask, and he did it.

Speaker: whether it's because of his character, whether it's because of the players that he brought in, like the Tammy Abrahams, for example.

Speaker: He brought them in.

Speaker: He did well with them.

Speaker: And it's, you know, again, when you look at his latest Premier League record, he was the last manager to win anything with Man United.

Speaker: And they've gone through, what, 15 of them?

Speaker: 15 managers now?

Speaker: The last manager to win a European trophy, yeah, with Man United.

Speaker: So, yeah.

Speaker: But anything meaningful without being a Mickey Mouse thing.

Speaker: Yeah, he won the Europa League with United.

Speaker: He did.

Speaker: He did.

Speaker: Look, it's a...

Speaker: it's a major trophy.

Speaker: Yes, it's not, you know, the Champions League.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Well, it is a major trophy at the end of the day.

Speaker: It's a European trophy.

Speaker: It's kind of respected now because of the Conference League being below it.

Speaker: The Europa League is like, ah, I won the Europa League.

Speaker: Yeah, oh, that's the Mickey Mouse one.

Speaker: Don't you think it's also great teams in the Europa League now, like Liverpool and other teams, obviously, you know, they've kind of made, because there's such good teams in the world now, there's not enough spaces in the Champions League.

Speaker: So then some do fall into Europa League, i.e.

Speaker: Liverpool being one of them.

Speaker: I agree with you.

Speaker: I agree with that.

Speaker: I think Liverpool is going to come back strong in the Champions League.

Speaker: Yeah, 100%.

Speaker: That's going to be scary as well.

Speaker: If they do well in the league as well, they'll get some finances behind them to try and even push even further.

Speaker: If they don't win the league, they might look to spend big.

Speaker: If they win the league, they'll spend big to maintain it.

Speaker: either way liverpool liverpool have got a bright future ahead of them as long as klopp is there they will do great things oh yeah even if the team is not that great like man united with when the year they won the league with van percy my that my united team was shocking yeah but sir alex ferguson made that team win and then you saw what happened sir alex left boom nothing nobody else could get them taken again absolutely not apart from jose marina but uh

Speaker: I've got nothing tied on this.

Speaker: Did we have a question, by the way?

Speaker: Did we have somebody ask us a question on a joint team?

Speaker: We did.

Speaker: Should we do some quickfire predictions before we get into that question?

Speaker: Yeah, do come, because I'm cautious of time as well.

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: We said we're going to do for five minutes, and here we are at seven.

Speaker: An hour and ten.

Speaker: Usual loss.

Speaker: An hour and ten minutes right now.

Speaker: So, do you know what?

Speaker: Let's just go into, right, so Saturday, obviously, first games back.

Speaker: Are you making a note of these bad boys, or?

Speaker: Should I make a note?

Speaker: I think we should put them up on our Facebook page.

Speaker: I can make a note.

Speaker: I am literally locked in right now with this desk, with this little table.

Speaker: Right, so obviously we've got Arsenal Crystal Palace at the Emirates, 12.30 kickoff.

Speaker: And again, Arsenal have been off for a week and a half, nearly two weeks actually.

Speaker: So go on, hit me with your prediction, Rick.

Speaker: What are you thinking?

Speaker: What are you thinking?

Speaker: I think you'll win.

Speaker: I think you'll win comfortably.

Speaker: I think you'll win 3-1, to be honest with you, mate.

Speaker: Nice.

Speaker: I like what you're saying.

Speaker: I like what you're saying.

Speaker: I think you've been off for a while.

Speaker: I think you've had enough time to work on tactics, albeit they've been off and they've got time to work on tactics.

Speaker: But then again, Palace played against Everton.

Speaker: When was it?

Speaker: Yesterday?

Speaker: Yes.

Speaker: And they lost.

Speaker: And they lost.

Speaker: So traveling to Merseyside, driving back, you know, and then playing again on Saturday.

Speaker: They've probably trained today, might have not trained today, depending on the travel.

Speaker: Yeah, probably trained tomorrow.

Speaker: Driving in recovery, then trained tomorrow.

Speaker: Have you got enough time in the day to do where, how are you going to approach Arsenal and do tactics and do all that?

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: I've never been in the elite game.

Speaker: Yeah, I don't know.

Speaker: I don't know how it works.

Speaker: I don't know how it works.

Speaker: I don't know the rest of it.

Speaker: Yeah, at least that's seminar.

Speaker: But, uh,

Speaker: I wasn't invited to it, so I wasn't invited.

Speaker: 3-1, that's a good shout.

Speaker: You need a performance as well.

Speaker: Not only can you win 3-1, you have to convincingly win 3-1.

Speaker: And I know it's a convincing win, but I mean a performance that you kind of be like, well-deserved at 3-1.

Speaker: Not one of these scorelines where you could have gone either way and then all of a sudden you sneak in like three goals.

Speaker: The performance flatters the scoreline.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: I like what you're saying.

Speaker: I like what you're saying.

Speaker: I think I'm going to go with a 2-0 for Arsenal, even though it will be a tricky game.

Speaker: Because, again, match fitness, match sharpness, they've been away for two weeks.

Speaker: And like you said, Crystal Palace, yes, they played yesterday as we record this.

Speaker: you know, that's their players.

Speaker: They're still active.

Speaker: And they went from playing a match, like, again, a high-level match against Everton, who are a Premier League team.

Speaker: Despite their point reductions and FFPs or whatever it is, the players will still know how to play football.

Speaker: That doesn't, you know what I mean?

Speaker: That doesn't take away from the legs and shit.

Speaker: So, yeah, I think keep that.

Speaker: Do you know what?

Speaker: I'm going to go 2-1.

Speaker: I'm going to go 2-1 Arsenal.

Speaker: And I think Palace will score first.

Speaker: It'll catch us by surprise.

Speaker: And then we'll sort of wake up.

Speaker: and do a 2-1 finish but yeah put me down for a 2-1 2-1 so 2-0 to 2-1 all right let's have 2-1 yeah 1-2-1 uh next game is Brentford Nottingham Forest and that's the later kickoff which is crazy but you know part of me hopes that it's uh it's not not in Forest that wins I'm not gonna lie to you uh I don't know why

Speaker: I just want 9-4 to win.

Speaker: Nuno, the guy who took over, who was at Wolves, was a very good manager.

Speaker: Espirito Santo.

Speaker: Is it Santo or Sanchez?

Speaker: No, Santo.

Speaker: Espirito Santo.

Speaker: Yeah, the Holy Spirit.

Speaker: Yeah, so him.

Speaker: I quite like him.

Speaker: He was obviously, he went to Saturday, came back.

Speaker: He didn't do much at Spurs.

Speaker: He was quite realistic in his interview as well.

Speaker: And honestly, he said, don't judge me for my time at Spurs.

Speaker: Just tell me what I'll do from now on.

Speaker: Exactly.

Speaker: I mean, look, there's a meme about Jose Mourinho where it's like every club that he's been to, he's won these trophies and then he comes to Spurs as a massive X. So, you know, we don't take it personally.

Speaker: Don't worry about Espirito Santo.

Speaker: I think you're right.

Speaker: But I also like Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Speaker: I want him to do well.

Speaker: I like Callum Hudson-Odoi.

Speaker: I want him to do well.

Speaker: I want him to do well.

Speaker: And for that reason, I think it's more because I want to rather than what will happen.

Speaker: I think what will happen might be a draw, but I still think 9-1 might nick it 2-1.

Speaker: I'm going to go with my gut feeling.

Speaker: I'm going to go Brentford win.

Speaker: I'm going to go 2-0 Brentford.

Speaker: 2-0, okay.

Speaker: 2-0 Brentford.

Speaker: 20-double.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: Then there's your 100 million right there.

Speaker: But yeah, two penalties on that one.

Speaker: It doesn't matter.

Speaker: He scores goals.

Speaker: That's what matters.

Speaker: You can't even do that right now.

Speaker: And then Sunday.

Speaker: Sunday we've got first game of the day.

Speaker: It's Sheffield versus West Ham at Sheffield.

Speaker: Look, I'm going to go with a West Ham win on this.

Speaker: And I think it's going to be like a... I could see that being like a 3-1 West Ham.

Speaker: I think it'll be a draw.

Speaker: I think it'll be 1-1.

Speaker: Not a bad

Speaker: Yeah, they'll be defensive.

Speaker: They might break a goal.

Speaker: I don't know.

Speaker: If West Ham score first, they'll sneak in the three goals.

Speaker: Oh, sorry, you said 3-1 West Ham.

Speaker: Sorry, sorry.

Speaker: Yeah, 3-1 West Ham.

Speaker: I'll be the other way around.

Speaker: 3-1 West Ham.

Speaker: Yeah, but if Sheffield score first, sorry, they'll be just closing up shop and just trying to keep that 1-0 win.

Speaker: I hope they do well, though, because Wilder is a decent manager and I quite like him from the last time he was in the Prem.

Speaker: But it just goes to show, doesn't it, like how the media kind of hype him up saying he's a great manager.

Speaker: Why does he not get one of the top six?

Speaker: Because the expectation at teams like Sheffield, Nottingham and Brentford is not the same expectation as a global brand like Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United.

Speaker: Yeah, I agree.

Speaker: I agree.

Speaker: There's too much pressure.

Speaker: And this is, again, this is the same reasons that we used against Graham Potter at Chelsea.

Speaker: You are not a global brand manager, mate.

Speaker: So let's just, you know, step down.

Speaker: Nice.

Speaker: I'm saying 3-1.

Speaker: Are you saying 1-1?

Speaker: I said 1-1, yeah.

Speaker: 1-1, okay.

Speaker: Good shout.

Speaker: And then last game of the day on Sunday is Bournemouth-Liverpool at Bournemouth.

Speaker: Do you know what?

Speaker: Gut feeling is saying that Bournemouth are going to sneak this one in.

Speaker: I'm just going to gut feelings only on this one.

Speaker: Go on.

Speaker: Do you know what?

Speaker: I'm going to go with...

Speaker: I'm going to go 2-2.

Speaker: I'm going to go 2-2 on this.

Speaker: 2-2?

Speaker: 2-2, yeah.

Speaker: I'm going to go 2-2 on this.

Speaker: They've both got the players that can score goals and Liverpool, again, at the back, they leak goals quite nicely.

Speaker: So, I think Solanke's on it.

Speaker: For that reason, I think Bournemouth will win 3-2.

Speaker: This is Liverpool when they'll face a nil.

Speaker: Part of me, I just feel like they will do it at home.

Speaker: I feel like the players are going to really be up for it.

Speaker: And, yeah, just...

Speaker: Liverpool, yeah, they're great and so on, but there's teams, if you don't fear the opponent, you can do it.

Speaker: And I've seen Liverpool lose to Bournemouth.

Speaker: I've seen Liverpool lose to teams that they should have beat.

Speaker: I've seen Liverpool draw matches.

Speaker: And as long as Bournemouth can stay consistent in terms of their tactics, in terms of their approach, they'll win.

Speaker: We saw in Newcastle, Newcastle got tired.

Speaker: Liverpool then snuck two goals in late.

Speaker: So as long as they stay consistent,

Speaker: tactically sound.

Speaker: For me, this is the game of the weekend.

Speaker: It'll be a 3-2 game.

Speaker: Wow, game of the weekend.

Speaker: Hey, I like what you're saying.

Speaker: I like what you're saying.

Speaker: I'm going to put a little R in brackets at the end of that, so this is...

Speaker: Man like Rick's Game of the Weekend.

Speaker: Yeah, fair enough.

Speaker: I think for me, Game of the Weekend, I'm probably, do you know what?

Speaker: It could even be, could even be, yeah, that's fair.

Speaker: Like, yeah, I'll agree with you on that one.

Speaker: I'll say the same thing, Game of the Weekend.

Speaker: R&L.

Speaker: And then Monday, we've got a game on Monday as well.

Speaker: We've got Brighton Wolves at Brighton.

Speaker: This could be an interesting game as well.

Speaker: to be fair because where are they in the standings right now so Wolves are 11th and Brighton are 8th and what separates them is three points so you know three points between 11th and 8th it's crazy isn't it it's crazy how tight it is that's what I'm saying what are you thinking for this one do you know what I

Speaker: Got a funny feeling that Wolves may win it.

Speaker: So I'm going to go Wolves.

Speaker: Yeah, I'm going to go Wolves and I'm going to go 1-0 Wolves.

Speaker: 1-0.

Speaker: I was going to go 2-1 Wolves.

Speaker: One goal difference, but yeah, I was going to go 2-1.

Speaker: Yeah, 1-0 Wolves on that.

Speaker: I've got a feeling Wolves might be as well.

Speaker: Wolves are doing really well under 1-0 at the minute, like playing some great football full of confidence.

Speaker: They've had some awful decisions go against them.

Speaker: And some decisions not go for them.

Speaker: And it's just they would have been much higher up in the league if those decisions didn't kind of hinder.

Speaker: But now, man, Wolves are doing well.

Speaker: Wolves are doing well.

Speaker: And if they win that, they go above Newcastle in 10th and level on points with Chelsea, but goal difference.

Speaker: Chelsea's goal difference is super pretty apparent.

Speaker: Before we leave, let me just put this on charge real quick because it's going to die.

Speaker: Yeah.

Speaker: the Chargers here because again because we're getting old and my back just won't let me stand up right now but yeah so obviously predictions we'll be back on Sunday with more with the roundup of the games and look ahead to the week ahead obviously and we'll do I think what we'll do as well because obviously looking at time now as well we'll do the joint effort joint team Chelsea Arsenal team we'll answer the question on Sunday on our main pod on our main pod

Speaker: Which makes no difference because they're both the same time.

Speaker: So yeah, but we'll do it on Sunday.

Speaker: We'll have a bit more think about it, even though we've kind of decided anyway, or 90% decided on the players.

Speaker: Maybe some tweaks on formation and stuff.

Speaker: But yeah, I think we'll come back on Sunday and do that.

Speaker: And yeah, for anyone listening, we'll put our predictions up on Facebook.

Speaker: We'll start doing that from now on.

Speaker: And go follow us on there.

Speaker: So Rick, if you don't have anything to add, send us out, mate.

Speaker: Go on, brother, do it because I was just about to put a tangerine in my mouth.

Speaker: All right, cool.

Speaker: I'll drive the motherfuckers.

Speaker: I was like, I need some fluid in this pitch.

Speaker: You got them easy peel clementines, bro.

Speaker: They're my easy peel, bro.

Speaker: Well, anyway, thank you so much for being here, everyone.

Speaker: Thank you so much for bearing with us for an hour and 20 minutes, even though it's going to be a short pod.

Speaker: We will be back on Sunday with the roundup of the weekend's games.

Speaker: And until then, stay safe, stay alert.

Speaker: Thank you.
