Starting point is 00:02:25 And things look okay. I'm not going to complain. I'm not going to complain given the emotional times we've had. We've had some rough waters, but we're starting to level out a bit. And I like what I'm seeing. It's time for us on 8.4. to discuss match weeks 28 and 29, because we are one match ahead of everybody else this week.
Starting point is 00:02:45 So I'm going to send it to Chris Martin. A few words to describe the action this week. Okay. You ready? Oh. Do you go do. Oh. Yeah, I know it's stupid.
Starting point is 00:03:02 Just got to see it for myself. I'm watching you kiss her. Okay. Oh. Oh. Lost of corners. Wow. Okay.
Starting point is 00:03:15 Damn. Hitting us with the Robin. Was that Robin? Yeah. Oh, shit. Dancing. Wedding classic. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:03:24 It's a classic, mate. That is a classic. Dude, Robin, look, those tracks get the dance for us going. I don't know what it is. But Robin, with a Y, you're doing it. She knows. She knows. So can you just say the whole thing again one more time?
Starting point is 00:03:38 Just like I'll write that down for question. Yeah. You want me sing it from the beginning? Just to be insane. Just, yeah. Do-to-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do. No, it's stupid. Just got to see it for myself.
Starting point is 00:03:56 Why can you kiss her? A lot of corners. Oh, so many corners. Man, and they... Chelsea fan, when are you going to learn? Stop trying to fucking antagonize, bro, when he's about to take the corner kick. You know what's going to happen. he's going to kick the ball, the crowd's going to go out,
Starting point is 00:04:13 and then he's going to look back at you and go, look at you, look at you. And then the fan who gets mocked is going to upload it onto the internet because people only care about getting views online, even if they look like tomorrow. That's the world we live in. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, 100%. They'd be like, that was because of me. I did that, which actually, we'll get to what I did, because I did some shit over the weekend. I did that.
Starting point is 00:04:36 Jamel Johnson, what about you, two to 17 words or phrases? Well, listen, they will be songs today. I wasn't prepared last week, but I have a full playlist. Go ahead and put that Robin on their track one. Okay. First thing that came to mind, stressed out. A trap called question, Beth Evans. I really know how it feels.
Starting point is 00:04:53 This is how we've been playing for the past two goddamn months. Every time we got a lead, the shit's about to fall out the back of our ass. Next, obviously, sold holidays by sounds of blackness. Happy St. Tottering Day. Oh, yes. Happy St. Toddering's day. Yeah. And this is for the squad.
Starting point is 00:05:10 Stay Chiseled by large professor and Naz. I don't even think this is on streaming. I think you have to. I think you have to have YouTube premium. Yeah, yeah. Sure. To play this. In honorable mentions World War III by Snoop Dogg
Starting point is 00:05:24 and Rough Riders goes without saying. And whatever the guys are playing in Uganda right now. Shout out to Arsenal, Uganda. Yeah. I thought you're going to move to Uganda if we went to. I'm headed right to Uganda. and I'm starting a companion podcast with the fake Bukaiosaka,
Starting point is 00:05:40 Uganda soccer. Oh, is that where they do it lives? Yeah, yeah. That guy's like a little bit tall. He's like a little bit bigger body though, right? I feel like I...
Starting point is 00:05:48 He's just got more neck. Yeah, he's like thicker. I'm like, bro, you're two... No, the real soccer, no, the real soccer like a tree trunk. Fake soccer, he's got the twig. He's got the FK twigs frame. Oh, man, I've seen...
Starting point is 00:06:02 Because I think there are multiple fake Bucayosakas I've seen. I've seen one where the dude... dude was a little too, it looked like, who was that kid, Daniel Al Monte, who was trying to play in the World Series, who was like 15. Oh, God, with the fake, yeah, this is some, yeah, this is some early Outs,
Starting point is 00:06:19 American sports shit. If you know about Daniel El Monte, I don't think, Chris, I'd be like, you got the throne, man. Freddie, Freddie a dude. I've listened to a three-th century on that guy. Yeah, yeah. Too much pressure.
Starting point is 00:06:30 Too much pressure on him. Anyway, for me, it's the same. Let it all work out. Let it all work out. Because we had the Champions League draw. We forgot to put that in the dock. And I don't know if we talked about that, but that Champions League draw to cue the music, bro.
Starting point is 00:06:49 Come on. This is the worst thing about that. I know, but it's dangerous. It's dangerously kind. It's dangerously kind because we have a terrible problem of playing down to our opposition. Only in England do we play down. That's true.
Starting point is 00:07:04 That's true. But now we're in the. knockout phase, shit's going to matter a little bit. But either way, I will say, I'm glad to see that, you know, for all intents and purposes, knowing that we're at the moment competing on four fronts right now, I'll take the draws that look less fucked up immediately. Because if you think about like, I was looking at an analysis of our, what was it, the semi-final against PSG.
Starting point is 00:07:29 And when you looked at like the ratings of the teams we were playing on either side of it, like it was just a fucking gauntlet. So if we can just, we can take a second, even if it allows us. And I don't want to get complacent, but I'm trying to see the benefits. Because I've had multiple friends of mine be like, this is the worst fucking thing that could have happened. I'm like, be for real, bro. Being having us, that's scars. That's mentally and emotionally scornful fans.
Starting point is 00:07:53 It's not the worst thing that could happen that all of the people that we'd rather see in the later rounds have been drawn on the opposite bracket. Sorry. Okay. Because right now, if all goes according to the Lord, it would be like a semi-final against Barcelona. So, anyway, enough of that. And on to the lead, because that's what this shit's about. And I think we just need to focus at the top of the table. Because we did have two, I mean, two big matches.
Starting point is 00:08:19 And the results, I think, would have both supporters of Arsenal and City being like, okay, you know, so we get, okay. I mean, that's fine. That's fine. We're doing it. But we kind of need to see a little bit more right now. Arsenal 2, Chelsea won Billy Saliba
Starting point is 00:08:34 with a beautiful assist from Gabriel. Did I say that I hate that? Maga Agnes? That's another one I heard recently. I didn't want to throw that in the mix, but that's another one I've heard. That was a great set piece.
Starting point is 00:08:49 Fucking Pyro Hinkapai. That's my new way of saying Piero Hinkapier. Piro Hinkapai, bro, he got hit with the own goal. And he was pretty upset with himself. It was a glancing header. injurion timber 66 minute Declan Rice took all that shit talking
Starting point is 00:09:05 how we're doing it in the corner and turned that into a great delivery although prior to that he had a diabolical corner that he took that was one of the worst I've seen from him but either way we made it out to one what version of the Netto got sent out because about the Netto got sent off he got so what his first
Starting point is 00:09:24 card was for dissent and then the second one was for just doing every everything he could have taken down Gabriel Martinelli. When you said that, is the only context you ever hear like calling someone an asshole, dissent. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, you never were in a bar and something like, whoa, whoa, whoa,
Starting point is 00:09:41 easy with the dissent, man. Hey, man, you just said you did what's my mother? That's some serious dissent. I don't, I don't appreciate this. I don't appreciate this. Get them out. Get them out. I want nothing but a cent, but you've given me dissent.
Starting point is 00:09:55 And it's making me, no, no, no, no. No, no, not today, not today. So you got, sorry, I mean, cut you off. we got a yellow for descent, which we didn't see actually at home. Because I was watching Netto foul Martinelli. And then the ball carried on. I was like, well, there's a chance to score. And the red blew for it.
Starting point is 00:10:11 And I was like, what are you doing? Well, because that whole match, the ref kept blowing the ball dead when he could have given an advantage where we were on the, was it two basically blown corners from Chelsea. And we were so quick getting up the field. And the ref's like, oh, someone nudged David Ryan. He's like, bro, I'm, I just fucking through it for what. felt like it almost guaranteed 2v1 or 3V2 as
Starting point is 00:10:34 were happening in the second ones. But, I don't know, a lot of people, let's just talk about the haters first. The haters said, the game's gone. It's three, how many set pieces was this? This was just all set pieces. The game's gone.
Starting point is 00:10:50 The game is gone. And I'm like, please, please cry harder. One of them who said, by the way, was I sent you guys a photo because I'm in the UK right now and I watched the British broadcast.
Starting point is 00:11:04 Yaya Torre in the fluid. Yaya Torre as a pundit wearing his beanie and his coat. I mean, I've never seen a man more look like he's just been like, I think what it was, he was, they like,
Starting point is 00:11:19 I think they literally saw him like. Yeah, that's what they said. They pulled him off the street. Off the street and he looked, someone put a funny tweet saying, you look like, in disguise, you know, that Netflix. The one that's Idris Elba playing
Starting point is 00:11:35 Lupin? No, I think it's No, it's the French guy called Oh, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. He's really good actor that guy. I forget his name, it's on Netflix, but Omar Sy. No, Omar Sy. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Omar Sy, Omar Sy, Sy.
Starting point is 00:11:49 Omar'sai. Yeah, but it just looks so funny that you're like, just any other pub, just you know you're a cool like, you're a cool bastard, you're like, I'm not even going to tape a beanie off on my coat, you've pulled me in. I'm doing this. He's probably not getting paid for it and he looked like it.
Starting point is 00:12:02 No. I was saying he, part of me was like, he probably didn't have his haircut. Starters, okay? I was like, I don't know.
Starting point is 00:12:10 I feel like, but also, Yaya Toro was also always playing. He never looked like he gave a fuck about getting his edge, getting edged up, nothing. Right.
Starting point is 00:12:18 And I mean, if he saw Sadoor doing Champions League, like haircuts don't matter, bro. You can do whatever with your hair now. Does he know Landon Donald? Has he seen any of this?
Starting point is 00:12:31 Yeah, yeah, exactly. Like, Landon Donovan is out here with a bionic. So I sent that picture of Landon Donovan through the chat. I was like, bro, we have to talk about this guy's hair plugs. It was being served as an ad about how AI can help your baldness. I was like, well, what the fuck is this ad even? And it was him being like, I know firsthand, how debilitating it can be. And I was like, Landon, we know you as bald Landon.
Starting point is 00:12:57 And you coming back with the mop now, doesn't. and feel, I don't know, man. I don't know if it's what you thought it was going to be, but it's okay. It's okay. How does AI? I have no, it was so convoluted because the text was like how AI can help. And the whole thing is Landon Donovan talking about how he felt like a shell of himself without hair.
Starting point is 00:13:15 So I was like, I failing to see how this does anything with AI. He's not like AI baldness skirt. His commercial agent might also be AI. It sounds like the whole idea is AI. Yeah. He put, how can I get away with getting hair plugs and. and still coming to work. Right, right, right.
Starting point is 00:13:31 Tell him AI, it's AI, bro. It's all AI. And that's cool. And that's cool. Anyway, back to Greer Barnes, aka Yaya Tori. Yeah, the game is gone.
Starting point is 00:13:39 I mean, at least he was, he's the only hater that I've seen, just straight up be like, listen, I hope Arsenal lose. I hope he's just flat out was like, this is what I want to happen. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:53 I don't like them, bro. Can I say, can I? Yeah, he's right. He was just very explicit about he kept going I hope City winner. I feel this has been annoying me a lot about the narrative of Arsenal scoring this set pieces. Liverpool were terrible and got a new set piece coach.
Starting point is 00:14:07 I think it's scored six set pieces in a row. Include up into this weekend. Like City again this weekend didn't play well, right? But everyone's talking about Arsenal, maybe the worst team to. The thing that people will need to realize is no one gives a shit about City, as in people want City to win it because it would show them that you can't, if Arsenal win, that you can beat City about cheating like
Starting point is 00:14:32 City have, right? Right. That's what it shows them. So everyone's like, oh, coming for Arsenal, and also because we're culturally relevant, so people care. If Arsenal win, everyone has an Arsenal fan, people love Arsenal. It's one of the biggest global clubs in the world. City, no one cares. City can win the league 20 times in a row,
Starting point is 00:14:48 and no one gives a shit. The only people that give a shit are the commentators and the pundits on these channels that get paid millions of dollars or pounds to show it. so it's in their interest to hype up city but no one cares. They're soulless. They're a vacuous.
Starting point is 00:15:04 Yeah. They're the AI version of a football club and a football team and no one cares. That's why people who don't support us and want them to win so they can sleep better at night knowing that a bunch of cheaters won it yet again. Because then it's suddenly like, all right, dickhead. It's like, yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:19 Well, because if we win, it's like, all right, what's your fucking excuse? Exactly. Because it used to be like, look, they're just because we used to all be united as people who were falling to sit all the time and for the league to be like, well,
Starting point is 00:15:31 you're fucking, 150 charges FC, bro, they got their own fucking economists doing wacky deals to get shit over the line. But yeah, look, we had to do it by spending a lot of fucking money
Starting point is 00:15:43 and just really committing to one, like, to a manager's vision and being like, this is apparently how you can do it. But I think the, all the hatred, it's just so, it's like wild when people are like,
Starting point is 00:15:56 Oh, I'm like, I'm a United fan and I'd rather have City win or like I'm whatever fan. I'd rather have City win. But their same people would complain that they have 115 charges against them for improper financial activity. And you're like, so you'd rather let that, like, that's where you're at. You want to be like, I need the cheaters to keep winning. And I think that's to your point, it's a little bit like, is this because it feels consistent?
Starting point is 00:16:22 You're like, well, that's the devil I know. So I'm comfortable with it. So they're not even like change. Yeah, yeah. People hate change. People do. That's true. The new fucking sheriff in town.
Starting point is 00:16:36 But they're not even like city this year aren't playing expansively exciting football either. I mean, they had zero shots on goal till their goal against Leeds. Leeds should have been winning 2-0 at that point. And then in the second half, they kind of controlled the game. But they didn't play great.
Starting point is 00:16:54 They didn't look. They weren't like, oh, God, this is the shout. campaign football the purest one. It's just the game has got to a point where in the Premier League, people, every team is good at putting their mind the ball and athletically, systematically defending
Starting point is 00:17:08 as a unit. So Arsenal have had to, Arsenal aren't the reason set pieces are important. Arsenal are, have, Arteta saw what was happening with the game. And that's his solution because look how deep people play against Arsenal.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And where else do we get goal-scority opportunities, My set pieces. Okay. Then let's see if we can max that out. Well, I will say in this game, we had our chances, man. Oh, yeah. We had, this was the game I saw the most giveaways in Chelsea's final third to like, wouldn't you say it was like three or maybe four times where we had a guy one on one?
Starting point is 00:17:48 Yeah. Yeah. Coming in on the worst keeper of all time. Robert Sanchi has some. But he was, there was apparently one moment like where, you know, there was like a run about 20 minutes where everyone was like, oh, every time the answer,
Starting point is 00:18:01 it sets the ball. There was apparently one they didn't show in the broadcast that they cut away. They're like, they're like, you didn't see it, but he just fucked up again. And it felt like, yeah,
Starting point is 00:18:12 how the fuck are we not, you know, doing it? That's what sort of worries me too is because it followed that same eerie script of going up one, going up one nil. And then we have that like, clearly we,
Starting point is 00:18:25 there's a gigantic, subconscious sigh of relief that happens once we get on the scoreboard. And if we score first, it's like, guys, it feels like all we're saying is we just need to score first, guys. And there's no follow up. It's just more like, we just need to score first. And then what? Well, it's like, yeah. You want to more details?
Starting point is 00:18:44 Yeah, yeah. Because I feel like, I feel like we just, we need to score first and then score multiple goals. So we don't like, we look so. That's the part that freaks me out is like we don't look up for it once we get a goal. goal and it takes like an equalizer for it to become existential. And they were like, yeah, that's right. That's right. Yeah, we actually need to actually win by one more goal from the opponent.
Starting point is 00:19:05 I'm seeing like, it's like a slow march back to the fear. Like, we get the goal and then there's 10 minutes where we look all powerful, but we don't cash in on any more chances. Right. And then after three or four, as they from the halfway line, as they getting another one, you stop, you know what I'm saying? Like, and then next thing you know is the but. holes are
Starting point is 00:19:27 Clint. Well, that was the thing. I agree. There was a few, like, Arsenal, like, didn't have, like,
Starting point is 00:19:34 loads of clear chances, but we had opportunities and then just, like, in the final third, just lacked some precision. But it did look like, it looked like Chelsea.
Starting point is 00:19:43 It's funny because everyone's like, Chelsea played a mate. And then Rosini has lost, his three games, he's lost a rule against Artetta and Arsenal this year. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:50 But they didn't really, that's the thing, like, everyone's like Chelsea played so well, but they didn't really, I mean, I find, as Raya did pull off some good saves
Starting point is 00:19:58 and we do need to talk about David Wright I mean, Jamel, what's going on with his hair mate? You're the resident hair expert. I... His glow got wild out of nowhere. Yeah, it's all... It last two weeks. I think he's wearing some different hats.
Starting point is 00:20:10 He must be growing it underneath a be beanie a lot. I think when we don't see him in the game, he must be Yaya Toray style because I don't know how it works. I actually don't know the mechanics. He needs to just look like, you know, 2012 Drake you know
Starting point is 00:20:26 just bring it all down get lined up stay focused he's got the skull for it he does every time I see him I'm like you I thought I thought maybe he was light skin at first I was like is he a black man
Starting point is 00:20:38 I don't like his early family he got a little flavor I don't know he's he got a little line up to him but no it's David Ray when he lined up yeah David Ray yeah David Ray exactly sweet baby Ray yeah
Starting point is 00:20:50 the other thing though too is Chelsea I mean again to your point Chris, like, they've been unbeaten in the Premier League with Ross Sr. And so I'm like, this wasn't going to, this wasn't going to be a walk in the park. And anytime Reese James is playing against him, I'm always like, he tends to fucking figure something out. And he put in a few dangerous like crosses into the box. I was like, dude. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:21:12 No, he's, he's that best player, definitely. Seems like Cole Palmer wasn't interested in shooting a couple of times. There was a couple times where he was running free, maybe like, 30 yards from goal. Mm-hmm. And you're like, okay, he's going to cut. He's going to make one cut and he's going to fire it. He never did.
Starting point is 00:21:31 He kind of made the safe play. And it's like, I know he's been dealing with an injury, but I was kind of shocked to see him be a little conservative in the game. Yeah, there were a couple times it was like dancing in the box. And I was like, he's comfortable. But I think it just there was no angle for him to shoot is what it seemed like. Every time I look at him play football, I just feel like he, no, obviously he's quite good at football.
Starting point is 00:21:54 His sort of physique and his face, he's extremely thin and, like, now he doesn't, he's one of the least athletic looking Premier League player. He's like a mix of like Jamie Vardy and Peter Crouch body. Yeah, he looks like somebody doing shit to be healthy. He looks like who you've cast in like a broadcast sitcom as the sort of virgin at 30. You know what I mean? He's an IT. Yeah. He works in IT.
Starting point is 00:22:24 90. He's very up right. He's got, he looks like he's got that white guy posture you guys talk about, which is, uh, which is obviously, you know, actually. But he's also so slouchy. You know what I mean? Part of it, that's it that he look, for me, I'm like, you need to eat some vitamins, bro. You look like you're not getting enough vitamins. Like, it feels like there's some just eats salt and vinegar discos as his, as his dinner. What are salt and, hold on now. What's the salt and vinegar disco? It's a very sort of, you know, You know those crisps or potato chips, just have a lot of dust on them, just sort of like, you know, the sort of duck, like a pringle-type amount of dust, but it's like a 10-pee, a lengthy bag of crisps. It kind of tastes like cardboard, but they're sort of very addictive, because they've got a lot of the, they're like a poor man's pringle, actually, because they don't have the little divot, they don't have the sort of valley. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:23:14 So it's just a very, it's just a circle. It's almost like a bigger version of Body of Christ that you'd get in a church if you've ever swung a Catholic Mass. A communion wafer. Yes. Come on. This late season. Come on,
Starting point is 00:23:26 bro. You know, yeah, I'm here to call the Body of Christ. Okay. Hey. Can I have a bag of Body of Christ?
Starting point is 00:23:30 Hey, stop hugging on the body of Christ. Let me get somebody. Is that salt and vinegar? Is that body of Christ? Yeah, no, that's Body of Christ,
Starting point is 00:23:39 yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm trying to get off that. If they had salt and vinegar body of Christ, I'd have popped down a few more. I had the option to convert to Catholicism with my Filipino, you know,
Starting point is 00:23:50 I married him to. And the guy, the priest said to me, like, you know, we had to get married in the Catholic Church and if you want, I can baptize you. And I was like, I don't really want an old man to give me a bath, but cheers. For free? Hold on, for free?
Starting point is 00:24:03 Yeah. Hold on. What's the deal on the name? It's free. You know. What flavor bodies? What flavor bodies you got in there, mate? What flavor is you saying?
Starting point is 00:24:12 Hold on. What are we wearing in the bath? Fish and bread flavored? Okay. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. Because you know, like, remember all those stories about Jamie Vardi that season
Starting point is 00:24:21 that Lester won in 2016 about how he's like, bro, this guy does not take his body seriously. He was drinking like, wasn't like Jolly Ranchers and vodka and shit and Red Bull? He was, and he was drinking like, he drinks like four Red Bulls a day. Yeah. Mental like that's like I'm like, I, Cole, you know what I mean? Come to Malibu in the offseason, let them give you some green juices stuff, bring the color back in your face, whatever program they put Luca Donchich on.
Starting point is 00:24:47 Get that, get that too. Get that too. Because you can play. I just feel like, I feel like you play a lot better. I feel like a concerned parent sometimes when I see him Is he eating enough meat? Is he okay? Well, he also went down.
Starting point is 00:24:58 He always is injured against Arsenal And then he played, I was surprised And then he went down for Belize out He's gonna tap out But he played on But he played on the left Which confused Arsenal at beginning a bit But I think to your point, Jimal
Starting point is 00:25:10 He was on his wrong side for shooting So he didn't really fire off But that makes sense But yeah, no, it was I thought I mean it's funny Because some tacticales online are saying people who go, it's terrible, and a few people were like, it just actually was a really good tactical battle.
Starting point is 00:25:25 I actually think Resinia, despite saying, they didn't really pose a huge amount of problems till Arsenal. The thing again, we have 10 minutes to go. I think we strung together seven passes. They're 55 with one extra man. Just, Arsenal look like a team that haven't won the league in 22 years, and they just get nervous at the end.
Starting point is 00:25:43 For real. But I actually think he, I think, Resenia looks, I think, city away against them. if they don't get, obviously, if they can manage to go a whole game about getting a red card, will cause them up. Hey, listen,
Starting point is 00:25:57 the red card kind of powers them up. They're better with 10 guys than 11. We almost lost to them. I know. 10 men to ask them for Bridge. This was an improvement. I like that they're always, maybe that's their motivational thing.
Starting point is 00:26:09 It's like, because next year we're going to play with 11. And then you'll see. That was us with 10. That's just sweating. Yeah. When him and Arteta hug to the end, someone was like,
Starting point is 00:26:19 I think again, someone put, I can't remember. They were like, that's just classic. Two, we both listened to Huberman's podcast, and I'll like your next thing on LinkedIn. Oh, my God. All right, man. See you out there. Oh, Jesus.
Starting point is 00:26:36 So, yeah, also. Salutations did you do this morning. That's what he whispered in his ear. Yeah. And he's like, are you, they're doing that thing where everybody's trying to get sun on their butthole? Do you remember that in the pandemic? Whoa.
Starting point is 00:26:46 Yeah, that was like a weird thing. People were like, you got to get sun on your tank. How was I not in on that? People have lost their minds, though, at that time. And also, it was a bunch of white people who don't have any melanin. So they were getting like asshole sunburns. Because they're like, bro, you're not. It's a tricky one.
Starting point is 00:27:03 You need that. Don't try and greet the fucking son with your butthole and you don't have any melon. Not even thinking about sun. That's skin, sir. It's the reason why the butthole is not in the sun. There it is. God would have allowed. God would have wanted it out.
Starting point is 00:27:17 That shit couldn't be more tucked. away. Like, because you have to endeavor to fucking be like, you're, you're about to feel the sunlight upon you. Is it just a sort of way of making a part of your body near your testicles look as old as your testicles? Because obviously the issue is the body around there's untouched by the sun and everyone, you know, my testicles look about 30 years older than the rest of me down there.
Starting point is 00:27:40 So you just want a little evening, I get it. You want to get leather up the taint, yeah. I couldn't imagine one looking so pristine. you're like, what is this paint? It looks fresh out of the box. If my, yeah, if my joint looked like it was a handmade wallet.
Starting point is 00:27:55 Yeah. Yeah, I like it. I'm thinking about it and I like a handmade wild that was found in the L.A. River 16 years later. The wallet of a dead man. Yeah. This is why people listen to this podcast.
Starting point is 00:28:09 It actually, it turns out it is. Turns out it actually is. They're like, how will they describe? They stop talking about Colt Palmer's position and talks about Jamel's old.
Starting point is 00:28:18 ass. What happens to your asshole when you put it in the sun too long? Look, these are all relevant questions. Yeah, yeah, I need a new one too. My wallet is falling apart. The Velcro stop working, is it? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:33 The idea of Miles is still about Velcro wallet. Foursier. Salute to us for scoring every goal in this game. Yep. That's a nice stat. I love that stat. Owen goal giveeth and taketh. You know? And Capier, when he gave up the own goal, he had the look of like,
Starting point is 00:28:50 it looked like he was thinking about his teeth afterwards. Is that a weird thing? Like after you make a big mistake, you're like, nah, fuck, why did I get these fucking big fake teeth, man? Shit, I look stupid as shit right now. These fucking veneers. Talking of bumholes and Gabriel, what were you thinking when that Jiao Pedro go away?
Starting point is 00:29:08 Because weirdly like, every, I think when we went one-nil up and there was down of 10 men, I was watching the game. You know, when you sort of, I sort of just got into this, quite zen zone of like I think it's going to be fine
Starting point is 00:29:22 and then even when that goal went in I was like I think I'd sort of mentally just decided we'd won the game this is my manifestation skills but I was like the level of your denial by the way Miles
Starting point is 00:29:32 no but I was just watching it and said when Jal Padra and then Gary Neville again on my end he was like oh he might be on side and then I was like really and then it showed he was so far off side
Starting point is 00:29:41 but again great saves by Raya but I sort of yeah I don't know I was just like well, I think this is going to be fine. And a lot of Arsenal fans very stressed and going, like, the results more important than the performance, but just wondered where you guys sat on that. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:29:57 My first thought was the linesman who gave us the offside. He looked very like, he looked like it was the hardest decision he ever had to make. It looked like he was about to cry. I hate doing this. I mean, it was so clear. I think when that happened too, I was also, I think just subconsciously,
Starting point is 00:30:15 a clocked offside. And I was like, no, no, what's going on here? this isn't a play. He was like, Denzel Washington in Glory. He just, he like, one tear is about to fall.
Starting point is 00:30:24 I'm like, dude, he's all. Just call it, Brad. Don't act like that. Stop fucking creating tension. It's like he's been made to be a linesman against his,
Starting point is 00:30:32 his world. Yeah. You signed up for this. There's someone in his ear. It's on. Lift the flag or your family dies. Or it's like, or it's like,
Starting point is 00:30:41 or it's like, if you lift the flag, your family dies. That's, that's a goal. And it does. He, Yeah.
Starting point is 00:30:48 It's nice people might be gone. Yeah. Hey, credit to you, man. It's hard out there. It's hard out there. You credit to the fourth official who had to keep answering. I remember Artetta after like maybe the second time the ref when, what was it?
Starting point is 00:31:04 Darren England just like called a foul in the box and like just completely dead at our counter attack. And he just saw Artetta going up to the fourth official. I'm like, you see that two times now. You've been just doing it real smug. And I'm like, yep. Yeah, I know you're hearing it. Didn't you say you had a, didn't you do something that made us in the game? I did say, I did do something.
Starting point is 00:31:21 So I was, I was watching the first half in bed. And then I was like, no, this has to change. Like we were, we just felt like a stalemate. I'm like, this needs something different. I went over to the TV that I realized when I watch my TV, my main TV, then we win. When I look on the other ones, we get a draw or some other shit. So I was like, fuck that. I need to go downstairs.
Starting point is 00:31:45 Main. It's there. you. Boom. Changed it. Right. I think as you were saying how, you said Declan doesn't look fit. I think that was the, that was the sequence of the text. It was like, yeah, Declan doesn't look fit. And then I was like, I switched TVs. And then I did that. I did that. That was me. I made the goal happen. And this is in between your text talking about, you said,
Starting point is 00:32:10 jury and timber's lack of end product, which I do agree. granted he got the he got you know he uh set up the first corner with like you know the ball that got deflected for a cross and then scored the second goal but he definitely he's like so defensively he's like he's like it's like also like how martinelli can be sometimes where sometimes it's all defense and you're like do you know how to you know how to drip i know you know how to drip i've seen i've seen this ship before with timber like i just he just needs to add like one very specific attacking dimension to his game i don't know what that needs to be be if it's early crosses, if it's, it's not going to be taking, you know, dribbling people one-on-one
Starting point is 00:32:48 or just being more adventurous. I know that's probably not how he's being coached, but I just feel like he just needs another, like he needs an attacking weapon for me to feel fully like, no, this is the dude. Like, this is the dude. He had a one-on-one that didn't go well. He also did try to take some people on in the second half, but it didn't, it was like, I think he dropped somebody in. Yeah, no, and then he got that one ball in the box, switched feet really quick and then just like fell down as he picked it couldn't be a weaker shot i'm like bro if you again just had that little bit of just finishing edge to you that would have been a fucking nasty goal he'll um he'll tweet um a bible passage about um about end products or yeah
Starting point is 00:33:29 i know i feel like fan of he only tweets bible passages do we know the last one he posted did he did he post one again that's a good question i'm not sure yeah i think we need to check I saw a lot of people saying that we could have used Odegaard in this game. Also, I mean, what do you think about Ben White in this game? Like, I feel like everybody we were missing could have been the difference in this game. I mean, with Odegaard, it's a little, you know, it's like we're doing that thing again where he's injured and we're saying like, oh yeah, we can play without him sometimes. But I do. He's so much more organized, which is a thing that I do appreciate about Odegaard.
Starting point is 00:34:05 But I also, I just love Sienez out there too. At the end, no, you'd want, you'd O'Degard just to keep, we didn't keep the ball. He's like, you know, keep that ball going. And he'll get up everyone's ass being like, we need to be pressing. Like, is the way he leads it to and sort of gets every... Jabari said, Joshua 1, verse 5.
Starting point is 00:34:22 Did he really post that shit? Oh, my God. Thank God. Thank God for being consistent, jury. Before we move on, though, we should just... We're obviously talking about where Arsenal is proof. Just a moment to laugh at Robert Sanchez when the second goal went in for Arsenal, I was like, well, it must be a foul, because
Starting point is 00:34:38 he was so convincing. Oh, yeah. The heck was that? Yeah. And then he just, it looked like he got shot from a different direction and he just went down
Starting point is 00:34:48 and then we're like, you've, that was awful. You know, this is fantastic. No, it was too flappy. You were too flappy, man. But it happens.
Starting point is 00:34:57 It happens. Anything else before I move on? I guess I'll say, it looks like more comfortable. Like he didn't score or anything, right? But you know how there was that running games
Starting point is 00:35:10 where he was just like disappearing. Like he was like non-existent. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, I feel like he like, it's a little like, I'm looking forward to more as it. He's more involved. He's more involved. Yeah, yeah, yeah, for sure.
Starting point is 00:35:22 I think, like, building off the momentum from the Derby, I think is good. Just be like, all right, like, you can play this position. Then just give us some more, baby. That's it. We've got an update from Jabari. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Actually, that was the pinned. Oh, okay. Pinned passage actually Hebrews 61819 Ah yes For he who hath no end product Well here's according Oh According to AI
Starting point is 00:35:48 AI Jesus Because it is impossible for God to lie His promise and oath provide Strong encouragement for believers to hold fast to hope Let it all my God See this can all be solved With just with that sample of track but you know y'all you want to quote the bible all right do whatever you got to do um all right moving on down the table one slot and also five points away even though they do have a game in hand is leads leads nil city one simeno again bro they f fuck if they didn't sign him i feel like because they'd be looking a lot different he is he fits he's just he just right on in doku's not scoring that
Starting point is 00:36:35 He's the guy He looks shook on the bench Yeah he did look Semenio's the guy You know when you go out of a group of your mates And you bring a new guy And you're like I think they're going to get on with him
Starting point is 00:36:46 And a lot of the time Your old mates don't like the new guy This guy is coming He's called John and arseoll He said Mike's got crap hair And he's called that guy cheap And he said Darren's mom is a fox You're like
Starting point is 00:37:01 Yeah What's his name again What's his name again? That's Antoine. Antoine. Mike, you can come anytime, Mike. You can come anytime.
Starting point is 00:37:10 They can start calling him Twan. Okay, Twan. Where are you, Twan? Jeremy's been boys with these guys for years. For years. I never, I knew Darren's mom was hot.
Starting point is 00:37:20 I was afraid to say this shit. I didn't want to say that shit because y'all got mad at me when I said when I said Luke's little cousin was hot. But we were teenagers now. We were kids too. And y'all was trying to say I was being weird. I was 14, bro. What the fuck?
Starting point is 00:37:34 Yeah, she was in eighth grade. but I was in ninth grade. Bro, that's, I don't know, bro. Leave that alone, dog. That's why you'll always be Jeremy and he's one. You'll never be Emery. Yeah. Jeremy.
Starting point is 00:37:49 You'll never be Remmery. Remmery. Remery. Yeah, yeah, yeah. There's definitely like, I remember a version of this too where there was like a new kid who like was just like cracking jokes, but like they were actually funny. And everyone was like, bro, I'd be cracking jokes like that too. And like, I don't get it.
Starting point is 00:38:05 and everyone's like, brother, he's actually funny. That's the problem. That's what you don't get. That's what you're in denial about. This motherfucker funny. So, yeah, it's going to hit a little bit different. And Twan, he is just looking so lively. Again, city, I get to, this is where as a city supporter, you're probably like,
Starting point is 00:38:22 fuck, bro, can we score in the second half? Are we the only show mentioning this? No, certainly not. Who is talking about this? I don't know. I don't listen to other shows. I don't listen to lesser shows. Right.
Starting point is 00:38:34 But they might be saying that. And they might not be. But yeah, no, it did. That is a very odd. So talking about taints, though. Yeah, yeah, yeah, to be fair. Nobody else. Scott Spores could never.
Starting point is 00:38:45 Yeah. When they're talking about Jean-Falip Mateta. What happened to the meat man? Where'd he go? They don't want to talk about it. Hmm. Ask them. Ask the owners of their network.
Starting point is 00:38:53 What's going on? We're mandated, okay? This is a mandate. And if you just sort of break up man and date. Go on, Liam. Go on. We're actually dating men. We're dating men on this.
Starting point is 00:39:05 We're dating. Amen. Hallelujah. We're dating men. Hey, hey. Okay. Yeah. How do you, I mean, what, what's obviously we're in a familiar situation, city breathing down our necks at the buffet. And we're like, get the fuck off of me really quick. Do we, seeing this, does it, I, when I see the results, I'm like, okay, I think one version is like, man, they're struggling. And also, again, we knew this. Playing at Ellen Road. away is not an easy match with this like Leads. So it's like a thing that you're like hmm this isn't going to be
Starting point is 00:39:42 a walk in the park. Leeds haven't won at night time at home for like 15 games or something crazy like when they play in the evening. Yeah. Oh because we beat the shit as them in the day. Well yeah there's something about the night that's dark. They're like Batman or something. They come out in the shadows or something.
Starting point is 00:39:59 What's going on in Leeds? Yeah. The freaks come out at night. Yeah. So it's good result by I mean both games or on paper were hard for Arsenal and Chelsea. And it turned out they were hard games and they both got the business done. But yeah, it's funny because obviously I'm watching City and I was like, they're just going to just a nevice to be winners. But if you're a city fan, you might be like a lot of Arsenal fans yesterday.
Starting point is 00:40:19 You're like, how are we making this so hard? But yeah, but it's just the results, mate. It's the amount of times you hear now. So running all the matters is the results. It does matter a bit playing well. You do have to play well to win, obviously. No, always. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:40:34 it was, Leeds chance was in the first 20 minutes, right? Yeah, yeah, they got to capitalize when you. You have to. And if they do, you know, we're looking at a draw. Yeah. I still don't think Leeds win. I still think it would, the city would come back and score. But, I mean, Brennan Aronson and Coward Lewin, they both need to be deported. Get them out of here, dog.
Starting point is 00:40:56 They blew that, bro. Can they, can y'all bring Brexit back and send them somewhere else, man? Yeah, Aronson. God. Mr. Hustle. He was hustling. Bro, he had a chance early on. I was,
Starting point is 00:41:08 and for a moment, I started to levitate. I'm like, is, are we about to see it? I got up out of my chair, and I never have said this. I said,
Starting point is 00:41:17 do it for America, Brimmy. Wow. I said that. Yeah, I know you're fucked up. I was like, wow.
Starting point is 00:41:24 And then he missed it and I was like, Jamel, you idiot. You idiot. What the fuck are you told? Don't evoke that people country's name. There's a cop with a body, I'm looking at you say this.
Starting point is 00:41:32 Yeah. What's the deal with Holland, right? Because it was a little murky, like he's hurt. We don't know the extent of the injury. The latest thing I heard was like, there's no timetable, I don't think. But also, it's not serious is what I'm hearing. Working on new pranks. He's about to be in Manchester.
Starting point is 00:41:52 With a fake cast on. Oh, shit. Do you think, like, yeah, it's like when Phil Jackson let Dennis Robben go to Vegas during the finals, when he's like, hey, bro, if you need to get your mind. right and go to Vegas, like, do you? Then Pepp's like, look, if you need to get a few prank videos off to start scoring some fucking goals, then go. If you need to, he's dressed up as a mummy.
Starting point is 00:42:12 Like, he's just, he's like, I'm injured everywhere. I'm injured everywhere. I'm injured. I guess where the injury is. I've covered everything. Yeah, I think that's it. If we checked his YouTube channel, what's the latest video? He did a joint. Oh, he, damn, that's crazy.
Starting point is 00:42:26 This motherfucker posted a new video yesterday. Oh. With KSI. can the sidemen survive early Holland's football gauntlet you're out here post intent ma'am they said KSI got heard him on for Arsenal
Starting point is 00:42:41 that's what the streets were saying like okay okay okay look I'll take that you can if one of the most annoying YouTubers of all time has to do it for the fucking for the club then go ahead this is what it takes man go ahead and do it yeah rather you do that than pretend a box
Starting point is 00:42:55 yeah let's see let's see I don't yeah he was asked nearly as many as we get on this podcast guys Oh, nearly, yeah. Like one step behind us. Yeah, just keep your head down. You'll get there. You'll get there.
Starting point is 00:43:08 They asked him right after the match about Holland's injury. He said, I don't have an answer right now. He's not ready for today, but we have four days before notting him for us and after three days to have a peck cup at Newcastle 8 p.m. Okay. So I like how pep as the season climaxes has become more of a baddie in your voice of his. Yeah. He's been worn down by the divorce. It's the divorce.
Starting point is 00:43:29 I still, I'm not going to lie. I'm still kind of always looking for new pep cardio and divorce stories because there's something, there's an insight there that I feel is very interesting. He must be, I mean, bless the guy, what a great, one of the best coaches of all time, if not the best. I mean, based on how he coaches the game before one precisely, it must be, must be tricky to be married to.
Starting point is 00:43:52 I mean, just round the house. Oh, yeah. Right. Why is the fork there? It's not the position the fork belongs. He's such a slob, right? and everything's all fucked up. And his wife's like,
Starting point is 00:44:02 what's wrong with you, bro? You care about all this positional play on the pitch and you say, don't stay and don't get out your zone unless the ball's over here and you don't know how to wipe your own ass. Why is there piss all over the toilet seat?
Starting point is 00:44:15 And why can't you flush the fucking toilet after you take a shit, Pat? Are you okay? Then he uses these, I'm revolutionizing using the toilets. Don't waste water. If you leave a shit, then exactly you live a shit in the toilet,
Starting point is 00:44:27 then that means that somebody else won't use the toilet. so then the toilet is all yours and then you get to use keep possession on the toilets or he's just like that shit's gross I don't touch shit
Starting point is 00:44:40 just like it's that simple he's just like I think shit's gross you're like what? I think the key is the divorce I think we need to get word to his wife maybe start suggesting that they need to spend more time together maybe convince her a dance class
Starting point is 00:44:56 is a good idea we just need to get we need to get Pepp off the training ground. Oh shit. We got a new article, okay? From, oh, wait, this is a week ago. But it was from seven months ago. There's one that says, could Pep Gordiola's imminent divorce hurt men's cities?
Starting point is 00:45:13 Great. This is so salacious. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, sure. I mean, they've been together 30 years. Like we said, it ain't easy, man. But you know what? Ryan Shirky, when I think about this, I feel like he is the divorce buster. Like he's the one like
Starting point is 00:45:29 Pat, listen, we're smoking a pack of sigs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And we're getting up on these holes, bro. You're not, I'm actually not going to let you not drowning pussy. That's where Brian Turkey does. That's how, that's how I'm going to elevate you. You know what I mean? Fun thing I also learned, Kusanov, born on a leap year.
Starting point is 00:45:51 February 29th, 2004. So that failed in the seven-year-olds? Like five years old. Yeah, Ferran Torres also born on a leap year. So just saying, I don't know what I'm saying, but it reminds me of that show, I don't know if you remember that show step by step on TGIF back in the 90s. There was one of the side characters, Cody, okay, who was the cousin that lived with them. He was, I believe his character was born on a leap year.
Starting point is 00:46:18 And there was a joke I thought was so funny. He was like, I'm only five years old. And I was like, whoa, that's crazy. This motherfucker in his 20s, man. He said he's five. whoever wrote that joke it will stay with me forever and you're probably some white guy
Starting point is 00:46:31 who was a divorcee with a great gig right in Rant TGIF Anything else You just had to I wishful like you I had a man You know
Starting point is 00:46:41 Yeah he was like damn Well I feel like so much of the fucking movies Like we grew up on We're just like written by like miserable dudes Giving us a complete wrong idea Of how anything worked They're like in my fantasy world I'm a gross dude
Starting point is 00:46:53 And the hottest chicks Are like Hey I think there's something interesting about you. No. No. You're getting a divorce. Okay? Go to therapy. Stop making, making up a fucking alternate reality that's going to ruin my life.
Starting point is 00:47:06 Anything else? What do we, just overall thoughts on the title race, given these results. The bookies, obviously, they want people spend money. Yeah, of course. Of course. I mean, yeah, it's like, you know, 65%. But, I mean, I actually think this game
Starting point is 00:47:21 coming up on Wednesday, Arsenal away at Brighton, who had been terrible until I think two games ago and then have got some results. Yeah. That's always a bit of a pain in the butt that game for Arsenal. Yeah, for sure. His rest, Rice might be injured.
Starting point is 00:47:36 And Zubimendi's been getting a few pelters online, but I don't necessarily subscribe to that. I feel like it's above my pay grade with what. I think Artetta's trying to make him do some different things to what people think. But anyway, that's a tough game. And then City are playing Forrest the Home. That seems like a 3-0, a half-time game, that one. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:47:56 You don't have to score in the second half of that one. Or do they? If Arsenal win on Wednesday, then I'll be like, okay, I think it's moving the right way. Then it's Everton home. City of the trip. Do you know Everton have the second best away record to Arsenal in the league? Oh, really?
Starting point is 00:48:17 They're like the weirdest team Everton. Every time I'm Austin, they're either absolutely crap or perhaps or like pull out a result. And obviously we can talk about how they beat Newcastle 3-2, but um listen they got the top score and barry yeah Barry and um the number one Barry in the league
Starting point is 00:48:32 I know once they ever got Beto and Barry who like will miss so many chances yet still school goals but they're they're very set up to play away right they're a counter attacking team
Starting point is 00:48:41 but um anyway so because I was like well that'll be an easy win for Arsenal but there's no easy wins no but city with the rail Madrid draw and the Arsenal they have a harder bunch of fixtures
Starting point is 00:48:52 with that Chelsea game away so I would be very I'd be surprised if City don't drop some points in that in that sort of run of games but let's hope last year Arsenal away at Brighton a penalty was given for something that I've never seen before or since where Saliba headed the man's head
Starting point is 00:49:10 a little bit while after heading the ball right right oh right anyway that's what I think I think if Arsenal beat Brighton then I'll be like I think Arsenal are looking likely but it's the mental thing mental side of it. We'll see. And it's like we get a nice little break.
Starting point is 00:49:28 We get Mansfield after that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. We get a couple we get at least a week to chill after that. Yeah. Did you see the the buyer level cruising, a social media account? Sorry, just to count off guys. If you break up Mansfield, you've got man and Sfields?
Starting point is 00:49:44 Seals. Didn't know you're going that way. Yeah, go on. What's a Sveld? I'm sort of, I'm Swedish field. I'm spielding men. Ah, man, chest hair, united. Okay. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:01 What we need to do is tie our chest hairs together in a union braid before. Exactly. Rip it out together and then we will have the power in union. Fund, exactly. Do they have, are they playing United? Yep, they play them. Oh, the same week we play Citi. Okay.
Starting point is 00:50:18 Interesting. You'll have a good time, won't you? Liam. All right, let's take a quick break. And when we come back, we'll look a little bit lower down the table after this. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared.
Starting point is 00:50:42 That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know just in case. Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun.
Starting point is 00:51:18 Tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Termaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Termaine was sentenced to 99 years. I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth, until a confession changed everything.
Starting point is 00:51:45 I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world. But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him.
Starting point is 00:52:18 But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life. And that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that. It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes
Starting point is 00:52:46 opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. This is Ryder Strong with a podcast called The Red Weather. In 1995, my neighbor and a trainer disappeared from a commune Those nature and trees and praying and drugs. So no, I am not your guru. Back then, I lied to everybody.
Starting point is 00:53:14 They have had this case for 30 years. I'm going back to my hometown to uncover the truth. You can now binge all episodes of the Red Weather on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. We got to get to it. I mean, look, we could talk about the race for the, European spots.
Starting point is 00:53:42 Or we could also enjoy the smiting of our enemies. Tottenham Hot Spur. Pullum 2. Spurs 1. Oh, boy. Fulham. They got a fucking great Harry Wilson goal, like karate kick roundhouse, beautiful. Then Alex Owobie, again. Harry Wilson.
Starting point is 00:54:02 Oh, my. Ari. Awobi with a beautiful, just inside of the foot, like, fuck you knuckler. was crazy. And then Rasharleston again got to be the goat of inconsequential goals. He did it again, boys.
Starting point is 00:54:18 He's done it again. Yeah, a lot of the talk now. Spurs, they're not fully there, but they are only four points off West Ham. And Forrest is only two points off of them. And again, we haven't seen these motherfuckers win this entire calendar year so far.
Starting point is 00:54:36 So that's a bit of them. The new manager assess the performance. Oh, boy. If you want to hear the words of Igor Tudor, Igor. Igor, Tudor, he said, I cannot tell you anything new. We need to find the forces inside each of us.
Starting point is 00:54:52 I said to the players, it's always what you're going to do, what you want to do with yourself, you know, more personality, more wish to do before reacting, plenty of things. We are lacking when we attack. We lack the quality to score the goal.
Starting point is 00:55:05 We are lacking in the middle to run, and we are lacking behind to stay, there to suffer and not to concede the goal. So an amazing situation. Amazing. He also went on to say, it's not a, like people asked about like,
Starting point is 00:55:18 oh, you went to a four, four, two. That's interesting. He goes, it's not about systems at the moment. He said the players were lacking brain. They arrived before us. They predict, and we are always laid on everything. That's the problem.
Starting point is 00:55:29 They're lacking brain. Is this guy making excuses, like two games into the gig already? because a lot of it was like he's going to figure it out and I bet this seems to happen to a lot of manners I go yeah let me see
Starting point is 00:55:44 yeah I can tighten these people up and then they get there and like what the fuck is wrong that everybody in here there is oh there's a whole other room with shit everywhere you take a job on it you're like oh you wanted me to clean out that room
Starting point is 00:55:56 I thought this was the whole no that room leads to a whole other bunch of rooms you got to clean out this whole mansion of all of this crap this whole lady left yeah she left there's fucking tin from the 50s. There's a whole... And there's animals in those tins, too.
Starting point is 00:56:11 The tins are not empty. They say that the food lasts forever in the tins. They say that food lasts forever in the tins. They're rats in the tins. They've got through the mouth. They've got some psycho rats in the tins. The rats are smart as shit. You understand? They died in there. They died in there.
Starting point is 00:56:27 Yeah. I mean, everything even, too, before he was like, I don't know what to say. He's like, everything just feels like some version of like a municipal bus driver where the people are acting way to, or like a school bus driver and the kids are just too fucking wild. And he's like, bro, he's like, I quit on the bus route. I fucking parked the car.
Starting point is 00:56:47 I took the keys. I left it open. Nobody's getting trapped in there. I just fucking went home. I can't handle these fucking badass kids. One kid, he'd do a beer bottle at my head while I was driving. That's when I was like, that's enough. And y'all know I'm sober.
Starting point is 00:57:00 You know I'm sober. Don't fuck this up for me. I'm, yeah. I cracked it open. I downed it. right there and I just walked into the distance. I walked into oncoming traffic. I don't know what to say.
Starting point is 00:57:13 I don't know what to say. But yeah, it's definitely like, you hear from their own fans. Like there's truly a debate being like, is relegation good for Tottenham? Because their concern is, oh, we're not going to learn anything. I mean, like, I don't know if, I don't know how you recover from the lesson you're going to learn from relegation. That's such a financial blow. Like, I've already read like all these things.
Starting point is 00:57:37 think pieces on how devastating it's going to be for Liverpool to miss out on Champions League, like in terms of like their budgets and things like that. So for you, for Tottenham to go from Premier League TV money to fucking none, who the fuck's going to stay? If Paramount is buying the championship coverage, hey man. Yeah, right. Tottenham might get some of that presidential money. You know what I'm saying? They might get some super PAC cash. Yeah, maybe. Maybe. I mean, it's It's the same thing we were going through. It's like you, the lesson should have been learned when you had Ange
Starting point is 00:58:11 and he was like, spend some fucking money. Because that's, that's really the only way out of this is you have to level up the talent. And you can't just, I get like getting Rasharlison when he was kind of popping at Everton felt like, okay,
Starting point is 00:58:24 we're doing, we're making some moves. But I think like it was Ange or somebody on the overlap a few weeks. It was like, they've never signed anyone. We go, oh shit, you guys got that player.
Starting point is 00:58:35 Eza probably would have been that guy. that would have been like, oh, I mean, to a certain extent. Because, like, obviously he's like a great player, but like to feel like if really, like, you know, nicking a player before. They would have ruined him. Can you imagine, as they in a titanium shirt now? He would look like, fucking. He would have turned around and scored three own goals in a game.
Starting point is 00:58:55 Oh, yeah. In the North London Derby, he would just turn around and kicked in his own name. Yeah. Or, yeah, he'll just pull up like, he pulled his hand me and then be like, sorry, man, give me off the fuck. I can't even. Just give me the fuck on. Me and the Selanky's got a sore throat, and I am...
Starting point is 00:59:08 Yeah. I've got a bit of whiplash from my drive. I've got a tight shoulder. Yeah. Did you see... I put a link in the dot, guys, but... Yeah. The official Premier League account had to apologize
Starting point is 00:59:25 because they put a comp up of Vicario's terrible distribution. And at first I was like, that's funny. Then I actually, Paul, that's just like... I sort of thought of the human element of... Vicario, like, we talked about this a few times. They've got me feeling sorry for, that's how bad they are.
Starting point is 00:59:42 I'm not even like doing it as a bit. I feel this poor guy is a professional goalkeeper, and he's got the Premier League official Twitter account marking his distribution. It's like mentally going to, I would just never turn up again and play if someone. That's a wild move for the official account. Because what was it was like,
Starting point is 01:00:04 he meant to do that? What was like, what was like the text? I think he smashed it out. I think he smashed out. Was it his free kick? He smashed all the way out straight for a goal kick. Like miles out for a goal kick the other end. And they were like, he mentioned you that? Oh, it said, just how the play was drawn up. And so they feel like this every time they step out there.
Starting point is 01:00:24 Like they're dumb and shit and weak as shit. And I don't know if you saw this, Chris. Igor tried to like get in everybody's face in the warmup. and it backfired miserably. Like he tried to like rally everybody up like, you know, they're all just like getting into their usual routines. And he's like, you got to fucking have some fucking heart, man. Quickly, y'all look like bitches out here right now.
Starting point is 01:00:47 Oh, no. He's just like, he's fired up and everybody's looking at him like, I'd rather kill you than try hard. Right. That's so funny. He's the guy at the work sort of team bonding improv group who's like, all right, guys, just yes and. There's yes and it.
Starting point is 01:01:02 And everyone's like, dude, I'm just, I'm just, I'm not on my desk. No. No. And shut the fuck up. That was straight up how everybody responded. But then how do you explain the second half where Toddnum realizes that they look like shit and then they try to rally the classic Rashall. Now Rashulerson wants to play. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:01:26 In the darkest hour. What is that? Well, I think it's all because, you know, it's like whenever there's no pressure. then they're like, all right. Like, no one's expecting us to win now. So, yeah, maybe this is a horrible. Like, and that should have been three-knit up. Oh, man.
Starting point is 01:01:41 Emil Smith Row. You know, he was- Bro, I wanted you and Alex O'Wobie. You guys were having so much fun fucking with Ryan Sessignon and the fucking team coach about the North London Derby. A-Wobie, he was like, bro, I'm getting mine. He's like, I'm having that.
Starting point is 01:01:55 We're playing Tottenham this week. Oh, yes. I feel the red and white kit on me now. And then that one-on-one was, with Emil Smith, throw apart, and he was like, and that's why you playing
Starting point is 01:02:04 over there. I hate to say that to you, boy, and I loved you. I got you, I used to have your shirt. I used to have your shirt. And it was you and Saka
Starting point is 01:02:10 dragging us through. I was so ready for you to be that guy. But it was one of those moments for like, that was like, that was a painful sort of like, hail end exit where you're like, I really wanted you to be the guy,
Starting point is 01:02:22 but it's just not going to work out. I think Magic Johnson says this thing about like talking with, like, all the time. When he was being, like, on his way to success, people always want to, like, do business with him and stuff like that. And he goes, yeah, you know, like, and but now that he's like this fucking wealthy dude and he doesn't have the time of day for people, they're like, what's going on? He used to be a nice guy.
Starting point is 01:02:43 He's like, that's the thing. He's like, when I was down here, I could do deals that were down here. But when I'm up here, they got, the deal's got to be up here. And down here is also underwater at the Playboy Grotto. That's what he, when he says down here, he's cheating on cookie. Yes. boy. Yes. But yeah, it's sad to see them go. Sad to see him go.
Starting point is 01:03:06 Sad to see Tom go. They're fucking cooked. You're the worst team in the league. I mean, and also happy since Totteringham's Day. And to you too. And to you too. This is my first like real one. I got like an outfit for this one. I've never done one
Starting point is 01:03:22 when you know, the heating's still on and it's wearing gloves outside. This is how early in the year it is. This is I've still got my Christmas decorations up guys. Yeah. Yeah. I think this was the, this was our earliest one. It's the earliest one. Prior to that, March 9th.
Starting point is 01:03:39 That was in 2008. Let's not talk about that season. Let's not talk about that season. Let's not talk about that. We should talk about, so Tottenham obviously are in trouble. And then West Ham still in trouble. Everybody lost except for wolves. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:03:54 But there it's too far gone. Yeah. They went from 10 points to 13. It's so good. Hey, good on. But they're not going to have the record lowest. Premier League points. And fair enough, I like Rob Edwards.
Starting point is 01:04:05 Handsome man. Handsome man. And they've been playing a lot better wolves. And that's not just because they drew against Arsenal. But I think he has got them playing better. Right. We caught wolves at their best. Yeah, no.
Starting point is 01:04:16 And they also made Una Emery not shake his hand, which is we love to see. Yeah. Yeah. Worst loser in the game. It doesn't do a handshake and then gives a passive aggressive post-match commentary. Yeah. But speaking of West Ham, they... they left four in or five in,
Starting point is 01:04:34 five to two against Liverpool. You know, speaking of set pieces, the set piece kings. Oh yeah, they're killing the game, Liverpool. Killing the game.
Starting point is 01:04:46 Yeah, well, nobody said that. Everybody was like, oh man, Liverpool, have they figured it out? Yeah.
Starting point is 01:04:53 Did you hear on a slot today? We're recording very late on a Monday in the UK. He was basically talking about how he doesn't like watching Premier League games, like the joy's been taken out of them. He's almost like saying that, did I put it in the group? He basically was saying like, oh yeah, here it is.
Starting point is 01:05:08 He's sort of indirectly going like, oh, we've had to get the good of set pieces, but it's like, it's crap. He's almost like, he's almost kind of going like, we're not going to win the league this year and I don't care because it's boring for bullshit. This is such like loser, there's such a loser fucking way to talk about the sport. I'm sorry,
Starting point is 01:05:25 like, to be like, man, the game's just fucked up and like, I don't like it anymore. It's all about set pieces. It's like, first of all, this is the hardest fucking league on earth verifiably. Like, there's no debate about that. And teams set up to fucking frustrate just to get out of there with fucking something. And I remember when people were obviously calling us Haram Ball FC, like in the early days of Artetta, because he was like, bro, we have to fucking defend with all of our lives so we can get the fuck out of here with something. And I totally get that mentality of like, dude, you can't just be like, let's just get in these fucking like, like,
Starting point is 01:06:00 bare knuckle alley fights and see what happens, you have to be a little intentional because just because you got a couple licks in and you walk out with zero points, that doesn't mean shit. Like you need to walk out of there with something. And so, yeah, like the thing to just sort of like lay it at the feet of like it's all set pieces.
Starting point is 01:06:17 I think it's just so it's like just reductive and it's, I don't know. You reveal kind of like a bias when it sort of reducing everything down to. It's just all set pieces now. Also, Come on, dude, just watch some film. Why you got to hate on... Don't act like you don't watch film, Mike.
Starting point is 01:06:36 Yeah, also, I'm sorry. How many set pieces do you score, Arnie? Right. How many... How many well-worked goals last did you school that weren't just Mo Salah just doing everything on his own? Yeah, it is what it is.
Starting point is 01:06:49 You know what I mean? Like, I think to say that is, I would be like, maybe be like, yeah, yeah. Because I like the managers who are, like, when they try and get people going, like, to be like, would you tell me they're just going a lot of set pieces.
Starting point is 01:07:01 And even like Liam Rossiner is like, yeah. I mean like you got to fucking score goals. You know, like it is what it is. That's just every element of the game. You've got an ass like you have to. Like that's what it is. That's the stage we're at with how competitive this league is. Like they're like you're going to have throw in coaches.
Starting point is 01:07:17 Everyone's going to have a throw in coach next season probably. And everyone's talking about how, you know, again like, again, tomato's a bit, but like, oh, they're terrible. They're so bad. It's the worst Premier League. If they win, they'll be the worst primary champion. It was like, well, why don't you look at the champions of the guys?
Starting point is 01:07:31 Is the top of the champion? No one in Europe was saying that. Yeah. But as we said, we all know why. We all know why. But Liverpool in this game, yeah, a lot of Virgil set piece, Eckert TK with his hair. What was his hair?
Starting point is 01:07:45 He said he looked like last time, Jamel. He looked like a... Well, he was doing like, he's got the bleach like... Yeah. Is he got the braids again? He's at braids now. Yeah, he had braids. Back to the braids of braids.
Starting point is 01:07:55 Yeah. Oh, Justin. Conjuring Justin. Timberlake. Interesting. That's an interesting choice. With the bleach, it was given Raman head Justin Timberlake early in sync. We all remember the iconic ramen hair
Starting point is 01:08:09 that Timberlake had with that perm back in the day. By the way, just on Eckertique, I bought my son a football magazine in Tesco's out here, five pounds, quite a lot, but had two packets of football cards, pinini stickers, as they were called when I was a kid.
Starting point is 01:08:24 Now, I think they were all called like trading cards. You know how last time we said Max Dowman's card. He's about 12 minutes in the primity, 50 grand. My friend who's an expert, I sent her a photo.
Starting point is 01:08:34 It was a shiny, EKK1, and it said like, this is like the mega hat trick card. And I was like, how much is this? And she said, someone between one and four dollars.
Starting point is 01:08:46 And I was like, all right, put us straight in a bit. All right, let me just fold that up. But yeah, anyway. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:08:53 I think West Ham, they got full of next. Mm. Mm. I don't know about that. The bottom's getting tight. It's more interesting than whatever the fuck is going on for them champion league spots. I mean, Villa kind of made the top four race kind of lame because it's kind of like...
Starting point is 01:09:11 Yeah, yeah. Villas burned. Chelsea can't keep the lever guys on the field. So what the fuck? It's like top four is starting to get solidified. Yeah, yeah. I think it'll look kind of like the old days, what the top four look like, you know, about these like abomination clubs in there
Starting point is 01:09:29 like Tottenham, just on the table at all. So there we are with West Ham and Liverpool. Just fun for the neutrals, I got to say. Oh, do we want to talk about United and Crystal Palace? The penalty incident was a weird one, wasn't it? Obviously, it was so
Starting point is 01:09:44 Lecois, Le Croix. Yeah, Lecois. And then he got done for Dogso. It felt quite harsh that. Yeah. They gave that, it's hard when someone's through and then he got sent off. And then one all. And then Sheshko did score just a phenomenal header. What a lovely bullet header.
Starting point is 01:10:03 And he looks good now. But yeah, United didn't play great. I feel like if it stayed, I mean, every game was 2-1 on the weekend, wasn't it? On Sunday, every single game was 2-1. But if they'd stayed at 11, Palis, I was watching them going, they're bossing United here. And then once it goes down to 10-minute, Old Trafford, it's kind of, you're going to go one way. But I think United, unless something happens, Now, I think they're going to be, I mean, it's not locked in, right?
Starting point is 01:10:30 But I think they're going to be fine. Because Chelsea look a bit too. Chelsea is six points off Villa and United. Unstable. You know what I'm saying? No, United's got, Villa might be okay. They've got Newcastle, like the next few matches, Newcastle away, Villa at home, Bournemouth away, Leads at home, Chelsea away.
Starting point is 01:10:50 Shit. Yeah, you know, they, that's some tough ones. That could happen. That could happen. He's had a nice. he beat Arsenal, obviously, on his, was it, the city game or something? City and Arsenal.
Starting point is 01:11:01 So he's won good games. Homer, Vela, will be a good one, actually, because I think Vila, we'll see. We'll see if I can... That Laquois penalty, though, watching, like, the replay of it, if, like, that motherfucker was edging
Starting point is 01:11:14 with a penalty. Like, the way he had his hand on Cooney's shoulder, he knew he was fucking fouling him, right? You know, he's like, I'm pulling this. I'm fucking pulling this motherfucker. And he's like, I got to do it just before he realizes it's obvious I'm pulling him and he goes down because that was like the thing. It was funny to watch his hand.
Starting point is 01:11:32 He like pulled it off like just as Cooney was like, now I'm going down and your hands on me. Like it's going down and he was like oh shit. Like the way he kept it was so funny to me that because he knew he was like, not too much now. And then like that. No, no, no, no, no. Now it's dog so. It's all fucking hate hearing dogs so whenever you like hear the var thing. Oh yeah, that's dog so.
Starting point is 01:11:54 Denial of obvious goals. scoring opportunity. Just say it's ascending off. I don't need to keep saying dog so. Fucking dog so. Yeah. All right. Anything else before we move on to some random bits.
Starting point is 01:12:10 I just want to talk about the say from Jordan Pickford. Newcastle and Everton. Firstly again, a lot of funny, a lot of good instances. Everton were bossing Newcastle. Yeah, it was Everton, then Newcastle. They was just going back and forth. Everton, Newcastle, Everton, Newcastle, Everton.
Starting point is 01:12:25 So it was just an immediate response to every goal, which was kind of dope to see. Because I feel like when Beto scored, it was like that thing in the broadcast where they were still showing the replay of the Jacob Ramsey goal. And by the time they cut away, like it was mere seconds before Beto just bashed it right back in after the ball got fumbled. Yeah. And then the Barry goal was funny because he was kind of being fouled and it went in off his ass. Literally off the ass. He fucking fell in. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:12:53 He fucking bumbled into that shit. I'm like, yeah. Dream goal for me. Do you see the chance where he just ran from the halfway, like one of them with the goalie, and then hit the bar. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:13:02 It was better. Right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. That was fucking wild. I was like, yeah, I remember seeing the highlights, but not knowing who was actually smart. I'm like, this has to. Oh, no.
Starting point is 01:13:12 Okay. I guess it's not a goal. But then the save from Pickford, though, was just the save coupled by the immediate bicep, the Hulk Hogan double bicep. set. That was all the adrenaline. Oh, yeah. He hates that so hard.
Starting point is 01:13:30 He immediately flexes up. Vamos. I'm like, hold on. What's the ratio of Spaniards on this team? You swear he turned Spanish. What was that lineup there? I just like, though, that Vamos has just basically become the universal. It's like the, you know, like Americans all say, let's go.
Starting point is 01:13:48 In footy, I feel like everyone's just like, bamo! Bavo! Like, yeah, all right. Because I'm like, Everton. I'm like, who's on that team that got you talking like that all the time? I don't know. I'm not sure.
Starting point is 01:14:00 He's popped into his local tapas restaurant in Sunderland where he's from, right? And he's immediately. He just got, Arieta, I'll have some potatoes bravas, some calamari. Because like, Vamos!
Starting point is 01:14:16 All right, all right. There's not a single Spaniard in that starting 11, or Spanish speaker. In my head, Everton's never had a Spanish play. Michael Othetta. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:14:29 It's true. Sir Jim Radcliffe is there putting his hair out going. He's going, this is the problem with immigration. He's got people from Sondland saying, Vamos, you know. This is speak English. This is England. That's a thing.
Starting point is 01:14:45 That's what Radcliffe is shouting. He's saying that from Monaco. Yeah, yeah. He's saying it in French. He's saying it in French. Monaco Yeah I guess where
Starting point is 01:14:58 Palet vu Hungli Not understand the irony of it Yeah Betto's from Guinea I'm like Okay
Starting point is 01:15:09 I get it It's fashionable He likes tennis He might be a tennis guy You know who I like is Illamint and Jai I like the way in Jai
Starting point is 01:15:17 I love that Oh yeah He's a great place I would like to sign him I would like to sign him I would like to sign him I would also watch him host one of those like Pop the balloon type things.
Starting point is 01:15:27 I could see him being like a great influencer. I don't know why that my mind went to that. That he's coming in or he's one of the balloon holders. He might, he could be a balloon holder. He could be a host. I could see him enjoy doing it all. I could just see him pop it off. You don't want him to be hamstrung.
Starting point is 01:15:44 You don't want him to confine himself into one box as a premier player. Yeah, yeah, yeah. This sounds like, are you? He's auditioning to be in Jai's manager right now. I was like, bro, I got a whole vision for you, man. Like, you could be on these. Come on, man.
Starting point is 01:15:56 We could bring back Van Wilder. Yeah. Yeah. Van Wilder. I want no fun. Yeah. Starring him. You could be a new Van Wilder.
Starting point is 01:16:08 You could be, or Cal Penn, you could be the little. That's a classic. That's such an L.A. agent thing to say. Yeah. Just to get you to sign. And then you're like, I've never acted in my love. You could be president. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:20 At the time it sounds. Yeah. At the time it sounds. good and then you go home. He's like, this motherfucker said I'd be the new Van Wilder. Yeah, pardon me? The fuck?
Starting point is 01:16:28 I'm Senegalese. What the fuck is that? What? Meanwhile, Everton is in eighth. They're only, uh, there only five points behind Chelsea for six.
Starting point is 01:16:38 Are they a lot for conference league? Hmm. Does that a phrase anyone's ever said? Conference B. We should have opened the whole pot. You made the conference league sound like the best lit, yeah.
Starting point is 01:16:50 Oh my hell yeah. That sounds like, You're the guy like hyping the Bachelor party to Atlanta. Atlantic City. Yeah. Or even worse. It's like it's like, we all wanted to go to Vegas.
Starting point is 01:17:02 Oh yeah. Who's ready to go to Tempe, Arizona? Oh, yeah. Oh, man. Hey, got us little t-shirts. I mean, T-shirts. Hey, man, come on. One for 15, two for 20, bro.

Starting point is 01:17:25 Buy one of these, bro. Get one for your misses, get one for your miss. I don't know if it locks in for that, but, but, um,
Starting point is 01:17:32 it's what I've never seen Everton ahead as somebody in gold difference. It's amazing. Yeah, Trebell's in charge of hair and conference league parts of the podcast. I got you,
Starting point is 01:17:43 man. I'm gonna, I'm bringing some energy to the conference league, guys. Hell yeah. I mean, yeah, why not?
Starting point is 01:17:50 Man, fucking conference league. If Everton makes conference league, I'm actually hype. I'm hype for them and I'm actually watching. I watch Charlie Davies yell at, you know, Niles Ria Koker
Starting point is 01:18:02 all fucking week. Oh, fucking Nigel Rial Koker. Does get a weird, bad punditry gig and he's not crazy. He sucks as a pundit. He has a weird, he has like such a chip on his shoulder whenever I listen to Nigel Real Koker as a pundit.
Starting point is 01:18:19 There's like something, there's something like I can feel that he's angry still about his career. Like when he talks about other players. I'm like, Nigge. Come on, man. You got a shot. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:18:30 Nigel. He played for what, West Ham, didn't he? Yeah, West Ham. He was there for a long time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just like the fact that Jamel could be watching the Arsenal Everton game in a few weeks time
Starting point is 01:18:40 and in the pub and he'd be like, I mean, obviously I want Arsenal to win, but if Everton win, they're on the Conference League. I love in a Conference League, man. We love Super David Boy is Sam.
Starting point is 01:18:57 Everything on this way in the Conference League. Oh, man. Well, let's take another quick break and we would come back. Maybe, should we talk about our favorite footballer whose name sounds like a wedding venue? Kear and Newsbury
Starting point is 01:19:10 Hall, because I didn't know about this bit of gossip, and we'll talk about it after this break. Getting ready for a game means being ready for anything. Like packing a spare stick. I like to be prepared. That's why I remember, 988, Canada's suicide crisis helpline. It's good to know, just in case.
Starting point is 01:19:36 Anyone can call or text for free confidential support from a train responder anytime. 988 suicide crisis helpline is funded by the government in Canada. I'm Nancy Glass, host of the Burden of Guilt Season 2 podcast. This is a story about a horrendous lie that destroyed two families. Late one night, Bobby Gumpright became the victim of a random crime. He pulls the gun, tells me to lie down on the ground. He identified Jermaine Hudson as the perpetrator. Jermaine was sentenced to 99 years.
Starting point is 01:20:17 I'm like, Lord, this can't be real. I thought it was a mistaken identity. The best lie is partial truth. For 22 years, only two people knew the truth, until a confession changed everything. I was a monster. Listen to Burden of Guilt Season 2 on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. China's Ministry of State Security is one of the most mysterious and powerful spy agencies in the world.
Starting point is 01:20:55 But in 2017, the FBI got inside. This is Special Agent Regal, Special Agent Bradley Hall. This MSS officer has no idea the U.S. government is on to him. But the FBI has his chats, texts, emails, even his personal diary. Hear how they got it on the Sixth Bureau podcast. I now have several terabytes of an MSS officer, no doubt, no question, of his life. And that's the unicorn. No one had ever seen anything like that.
Starting point is 01:21:27 It was unbelievable. This is a story of the inner workings of the MSS and how one man's ambition and mistakes opened its fault of secrets. Listen to the Sixth Bureau on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. Hey, everyone, it's Emily Simpson and Shane Simpson from the Legally Brunette podcast.

Whether you want all the facts on the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, or you still need to wrap your head around the ditty verdict, we're breaking it all down step by step. And we're not just lawyers.
Starting point is 01:22:05 We're also a husband and wife. It makes for some pretty entertaining episodes. Listen to Legally Brunette on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. And we're back. Did you put this in here, Chris? Yeah, I put that in. Karen Dewsbury Hall, he's getting the good news. He's across the pond getting the good stories.
Starting point is 01:22:33 Yeah. The good stories. Ceren Dewsbury Hall was sent on loan after beating Brendan Rodgers. in a pool tournament? What the fuck is this? What am I reading? What are we talking about here, Chris? Yeah, he, for like a team bonding thing.
Starting point is 01:22:51 You know, Brendan Rogers is kind of, I mean, he's the original manager. Do you know what I mean? He's a guy, David Brent, Ackleite. In the documentary, Liverpool one, didn't he sort of put loads of, he put some names in an envelope, didn't he? And he was like, I'm going to put names of people. I'm going to sell or something in the envelope. And if you pick it, and it was like, no, you know, one of those weird. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:23:11 I've forgotten exactly what it was. It was just like, mate, stop handing out mail and just fucking coach us, you idiot. Yeah. Also, like, what a bad exercise. It's like, one of your life says, fucked up. Let's see who it is. It's like, oh, I might. I've definitely paraphrased that, but either way, there was some envelopes involved
Starting point is 01:23:26 and some names in them, and it just felt, it just feels icky. But I'm sure you can find the actual story. But yeah, he organized me as manager of Lester, a pool tournament, and everyone had to join in, and Dewsbury Hall was, like, a young player. he wasn't even in the first team. So he got down to play Brandon Rogers, who really rate himself as a player. But Dewsbury Hall used to play a lot as a kid
Starting point is 01:23:47 in the pub team when he was 10 years of age. So he beat Rogers 3-0. And then a week later, he said, yeah, sorry, Gaffer. And a week later, he got sent on loan to Play Paul. Jesus. Wow. Bro, I love it.
Starting point is 01:24:02 He's so fucking salty. Get his ass out of here, bro. Get his ass out of here. I thought only Michael Jordan was capable of shit like this. Yeah. I know. No, man. Look.
Starting point is 01:24:13 All right. That kind of mental illness when you're that competitive, it's everywhere. It's everywhere. At least though Michael Jordan, like, you know, is the greatest basketball player of all time. I wouldn't classify. To be that competitive and to win an FAA cup of Lester is not the same. Okay.
Starting point is 01:24:33 Yeah. But I had it all, didn't I? Liverpool. Hold on. Here's the clip from the, The Envelope Saga. Listen, the point we're making here is very, very simple. The objective of what we want out of this season starts tomorrow.
Starting point is 01:24:46 Wow, look at that Liverpool. For me, this is interesting. When I arrived here, these first days, was analyzing the group, the staff, the people. Tucking in a white polo over your gut like that is real bravery, honestly. You know what that is? That's giving white high school basketball coach. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:25:06 You know what I mean? With the sweats, it's perfect. Yo, you got the fucking polo tucked into the trackies, bro? Okay. The cause, the fight, everything, they're going to let us down. And I've wrote them down already. The matter of point to you as players and stuff, make sure you're not the one in the envelope.
Starting point is 01:25:35 Being a Premier League coach is like, people never talk about how you've got to be a fucking magician, too. You got to be a magician. Yeah. Do you know what it sounds like? It sounds like he should be getting some residuals for creating the traitors, the game show. Right, right, right, yeah. The friend, was it a traitor or a, what's the other thing?
Starting point is 01:25:54 What's it called you're a traitor or your friend? Don't watch the show. Ally? A homie? No, I don't know. Not up. Good guy. You're a good guy.
Starting point is 01:26:07 Yeah. Well, Brendan. Honestly, it sounds like you need to step your fucking pool game up. Yeah, why wouldn't you take the opportunity to start hustling people at pool? Oh, I got this, I got his fucking Duesbury Hall. He's fucking sick. He was on the pool team when he was 10. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Be like, look, bro, you're not going to play football for me anymore. But we go to some local pubs and start hustling people at billiards and start making money that way. I put your name in an envelope and I mailed it to. What do you think? Yeah, you win? To the local pool sharks. Right. You cool carrying a knife.
Starting point is 01:26:39 Let's go get some bread. Yeah, yeah, bro. We're on. You know how to understand what the problem is. You could roll up a cigarette, right? You got to do a rolly one-handed. Yeah. Or else they are going to fuck,
Starting point is 01:26:50 they're going to fuck us up at this place. I'm serious. Yeah. Can we talk about one more story? Yes, please. John Foley, my best mate. Oh, shit, I forgot. Yes.
Starting point is 01:27:00 That was fucking crazy. It was as we, this story is like what we thought was happening at Chelsea. And it turns out it is what we thought. Basically said, wasn't that basically like a lot of the staff left or like they were like transitioning between. Basically like the director of football having no idea about football. So he bought Mark Kukarela because Man City bought them, we're trying to buy him. And he thought if they're trying to buy him, he must be good.
Starting point is 01:27:27 Yeah. Oh my God. What we thought they were trying to. There was a period where they kept trying to get every player, Arsenal were trying to get. And we're like, is that just what they're doing? It turns out yes. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:27:37 It's great. He's like, just copy their homework. I want your choice. He said, yeah. And then we said a Moodrick, we poisoned them with a little Moodrick.
Starting point is 01:27:45 With a dup Moodrick. I think honestly, we were the only one that could have fixed him. I feel like, I don't know, maybe it ended up one of these players. Save you complex. Yeah,
Starting point is 01:27:55 yeah, yeah. But I mean, like, when you saw the fucking wheels on him, you're like, I see what, because we were lacking that. We were lacking that,
Starting point is 01:28:02 we were lacking that for sure, like that dimension. But, God, Leandro's been better. This is what he said. He said, Quote, having taken over in the circumstances that we did, basically the whole management team left.
Starting point is 01:28:11 I was stuck being interim sporting director for a summer having no idea what made a good football player. But knowing that Mark Koucarella, if Mancini wanted him, I wanted. Yeah, it was really simple that way. I mean, that is kind of like he's been a good signing for Chelsea. Like he's been a mainstay for them in that team. Although I fucking hate him. You know, he's a racist or whatever. Maybe just ignore details.
Starting point is 01:28:37 Ignore everything. That was in Spain, you know what I mean? That's a different place. You're jealous of his weave, right? Yes. That'd be so funny. He had extensions and they got snatched out one game. I heard Tyra Banks said he had to get it chopped off on America.
Starting point is 01:28:53 Top models. And then she's like, no, actually, I don't like it. Put the weave back in. But I told you I've been growing this for decades. Yeah. And it was a mistake. Okay. Next.
Starting point is 01:29:07 Yeah. bodbole. I mean, this is like what it's like to be a billionaire. Like you can just be like, yeah, bro, I'm dumb as fuck. And people are like, oh, okay, very interesting. I paid money to hear you speak at a conference of aspiring capitalists. And it turns out, you just copy everyone's fucking homework. That's it. That's it. All right. Is there anything else? That's it, baby. That's going to do it for us. That's going to do it for you, the listener. Time to go to bed, get some rest, like we all are about to do. Any plugs for y'all?
