00:00:31.000 in this video you're going to see the future In this video, you're going to see the future.

00:00:49.000 Hello there, you Awakening Wanderers.

00:00:50.000 Thanks for joining us for Stay Free with Russell Brand.

00:00:54.000 There's a lot going on.

00:00:55.000 My dog Bear's got the terrible farts, but by God, it's the dogs of war you want to worry about, ain't it?

00:01:03.000 Demanding yet more war paid for by you.

00:01:05.000 Although they are giving a little something back.

00:01:07.000 We've got to talk about the Ukrainian counter-offensive, haven't we Gal?

00:01:11.000 out COVID at a price that's right. Get yourself a little bit

00:01:11.000 We simply must.

00:01:14.000 of merch. Why don't you? All goes to the Stay Free Foundation helping drug addicts, alcoholics and mentally

00:01:20.000 ill person. Me! I'm that figure. You see, every day I do that

00:01:25.000 little joke. It puts a smile on my face. We've got to talk about

00:01:29.000 the Ukrainian counter offensive, haven't we Gal? We simply must.

00:01:32.000 Can do. And over on Rumble, because the first 15 minutes will be be with you on YouTube. But then we are going to

00:01:38.000 migrate to the home of free speech where presidential debates were

00:01:41.000 covered thoroughly and fairly only last night.

00:01:45.000 Of course.

00:01:46.000 You covered it in an irresponsible way, and those of you that saw the show will know exactly what I meant by that, so I don't want to embarrass you, Gareth, by going into any more detail, but I think if it's not right for me to take my top off, I don't see why you should be allowed to do it.

00:01:58.000 Joe Biden's sending F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine.

00:02:01.000 That's going to cost a few quid, ain't it?

00:02:03.000 I hope that this isn't an unwinnable war.

00:02:06.000 He's given approval for the Netherlands to provide F-16 fighter jets to Ukraine, which is a major win for the Ukrainian army.

00:02:14.000 You will know already it's costing $700.

00:02:16.000 No, it's $900 per household in Ukrainian aid.

00:02:17.000 $700 in Is that fair?

00:02:23.000 Is that how you want your tax dollars distributed?

00:02:27.000 All the while, the US intelligence services have deemed Ukrainians' counter-offensive a failure.

00:02:34.000 And there's a picture of a sort of hammock cover thing being exploded that shows just how wrong it's going.

00:02:41.000 Aaron Maté has done some interesting tweets on this subject.

00:02:44.000 Let's have a look at what Aaron Maté, that radical enemy of freedom, has been saying now.

00:02:50.000 American officials say they fear that Ukraine has become casualty-averse.

00:02:53.000 That's a really unfortunate piece of language, isn't it?

00:02:57.000 Saying that Ukraine aren't willing to sacrifice their sons and daughters to pursue NATO and US imperialist objectives.

00:03:05.000 Let's have a look at that story in a little more detail.

00:03:08.000 American officials say they fear that the Ukraine has become casualty averse.

00:03:12.000 One reason has been cautious about pressing ahead with the counter-offensive.

00:03:15.000 Almost any big push against dug-in Russian defenders protected by mineral minefields would result in huge numbers of losses.

00:03:22.000 In just a year and a half, Ukraine's military deaths have already surpassed the number of American troops who died during nearly two decades during the war in Vietnam.

00:03:32.000 That's pretty dreadful.

00:03:35.000 It's dreadful, it is.

00:03:36.000 I mean there's estimates now that half a million people have died in this war.

00:03:40.000 This war that before the counter-offensive, the discord leaks and other reports showed that the US didn't believe Ukraine could regain significant territory, but they pressed ahead with it anyway.

00:03:51.000 Biden pressed ahead with it.

00:03:52.000 Now they know that the Ukraine troops aren't confident, i.e.

00:03:56.000 are casualty averse, which you would be if you're not confident in the strategy, you're not confident you've got enough weaponry, Maybe you'll feel that you're getting pushed into this war by another country who keeps insisting it's not at war with Russia.

00:04:09.000 But the casualties are stacking up.

00:04:11.000 They're massive now.

00:04:13.000 And then the next thing we read about is jets are getting sent over.

00:04:16.000 So it's just escalating.

00:04:18.000 It's just continuing with no sign that this is going to end despite the massive amount of casualties.

00:04:23.000 The war, of course, took over as the current thing from everybody's favorite global authoritarian phenomena, the COVID pandemic, which appears to be back in force with some colleges instantiating mask mandate and some film studios introducing similar measures because of a new COVID variant.

00:04:44.000 Let's see how the mainstream media reports on this story.

00:04:47.000 One Atlanta college is now reinstating a mask mandate.

00:04:50.000 Yes, so this is Morris Brown College announcing this decision on its Instagram account Sunday evening.

00:04:56.000 And take a look at this post.

00:04:57.000 It says it's because of the reports of positive cases among students.

00:05:01.000 So for the next two weeks, all students and employees must wear a mask unless alone in their office.

00:05:09.000 There will be social distancing.

00:05:10.000 At that point you might as well wear it alone in your office.

00:05:12.000 What seems extraordinary to me is that since the last pandemic, indeed if we can say that the pandemic ever truly ended, there's been considerable dispute around the efficacy of lockdowns, masks, social distancing, Even everybody's favourite medical measure has been queried and questioned and yet there seems to be an appetite and even rumours that lockdown restrictions are on their way back.

00:05:41.000 Let me ask you this as an awakened wonder.

00:05:43.000 Will you obey those restrictions?

00:05:45.000 At what point does it become reasonable to defy the imperatives of what appear to be bad science?

00:05:53.000 Let's have a look at the rest of this report.

00:05:57.000 What's Rand Paul saying about this?

00:06:10.000 The notion of new mandates are in fact a power grab, defies all logic, defies science.

00:06:15.000 Now that we know that the social distancing measures were arbitrary, now that we know that many of the lockdown measures were determined by peer-to-peer chit-chat, Between the likes of Mandy Cohen and her peers, like, oh, are you guys going to shut down the football leagues?

00:06:30.000 OK, we'll shut down the football leagues.

00:06:32.000 It's difficult to get it up again for measures that seem more like superstition than science-based and preventative.

00:06:40.000 Yeah, as you say, exactly.

00:06:41.000 We've got Dr. Scott Godlieb, formerly of the FDA, saying that the The rules for social distancing were arbitrary, so we know that's non-scientific.

00:06:51.000 But at the same time, we've got scientists from Johns Hopkins University.

00:06:56.000 I always struggle with that one.

00:06:58.000 You don't like to say John's?

00:06:59.000 It's the John's bit, isn't it?

00:06:59.000 John's.

00:07:00.000 Because you think of it as a bloke called John Hopkins who's got a plucky little upstart with his own university.

00:07:06.000 I think they're all called John.

00:07:07.000 There's lots of Johns, and you have to be called John to work there.

00:07:11.000 You don't have to be called John Hopkins to work here, but... Well, actually, no, you do.

00:07:14.000 This is part of why the whole premise about university falls apart.

00:07:18.000 But you've got scientists there saying that the costs of lockdown to society far outweighed the benefits and argue that they should be rejected out of hand.

00:07:26.000 So when we're talking about potentially going back into it, if these rumours by Alex Jones are to be believed, he was speaking to a whistleblower, Um, you think, well, on the one hand, we're being told that aspects of the pandemic didn't seem now to be scientific when they're saying lockdowns would go against science.

00:07:43.000 Are we even able to show that tweet while we're still on YouTube?

00:07:47.000 Yeah, I don't see why not.

00:07:48.000 Are we able to show dogs sniffing out COVID like it's a crazy new class A?

00:07:54.000 Are we able to show that?

00:07:55.000 If you're watching us on YouTube right now, join us on Rumble because we're going to be talking about the new measures to detect COVID It's your four-legged friendly little pal down there who I'd always imagined might at some point turn snitch.

00:08:10.000 No, this is service animals like my beloved bear who farted his way through the last show and put us all under a great deal of unnecessary pressure.

00:08:17.000 Apparently dogs are more effective at detecting COVID than those bloody tests we were all forced to conduct.

00:08:23.000 Those expensive tests?

00:08:24.000 Those pricey old tests.

00:08:26.000 Oh, cost you a pretty penny, Russ.

00:08:28.000 Oh, stick that little, that sharp little where it's like a mascara brush up the uter.

00:08:33.000 No thank you. 0.99

00:08:34.000 Not on your nelly, down your neck hole. 0.95

00:08:35.000 I can't imagine it's all that convenient that all we ever needed, potentially, was dogs. 0.66

00:08:41.000 I've long said dogs are the answer, whether it's for my personal wellness or knowing just exactly how much of this very well promoted disease you've got down your snout pipe.

00:08:53.000 We're not going to talk about that on YouTube now, not with the WHO closing in like an arachnoid monster around the community guidelines.

00:09:02.000 So if you want to If you're watching this on YouTube, click the link in the

00:09:04.000 description, join us over in the other place.

00:09:06.000 If you're watching this on Rumble right now, why not become a member of our locals community?

00:09:10.000 Why not get yourself a little bit of merch to wear while you watch along?

00:09:23.000 Do you know what?

00:09:24.000 Jordan Peterson's just texted me.

00:09:25.000 He's just texted me.

00:09:26.000 I see.

00:09:27.000 From JP right now.

00:09:28.000 He's asking whether or not he was, like yesterday, he was talking about the primaries, the Republican

00:09:31.000 primaries and we're not going to believe that.

00:09:33.000 I said, I don't need to go baby, it's been so well covered on Rumble, and Elon has demanded that if we want him on the show, I've got to text him personally.

00:09:41.000 So for once, it's the other way around, it's Elon asking me.

00:09:45.000 I don't believe it.

00:09:47.000 So Elon's coming up soon, we've got Eckhart Tolle.

00:09:50.000 Oh, I'm so relaxed.

00:09:52.000 We've got Candice Owens coming on the show. 1.00

00:10:26.000 If you want a bit of merch, all of the profits of course, go to helping the Stay Free Foundation, BAC O'Connor, lovely little treatment centre, friendly house, Trevi Women, help drug addicts, alcoholics, get well, get them back into the community.

00:10:40.000 Almost as many as Biden.

00:10:42.000 Almost as many as the good old J.R.P. 0.97

00:10:45.000 Wears himself, the President of the United States.

00:10:49.000 Another thing, my mate Tone, he helps prisoners come out of prison when they've served their sentence.

00:10:54.000 We don't break them out.

00:10:55.000 It's not a file in a cake type scenario.

00:10:59.000 Once they come out of prison, they can get back to work.

00:11:01.000 He's not the A-team.

00:11:03.000 No!

00:11:05.000 He could be, and he's a big guy.

00:11:07.000 He's a lovely fella.

00:11:08.000 And if you are a pilgrim on the path, looking for somewhere to come, join us here at Stay Free HQ.

00:11:18.000 Shall we have a look at these stinking mutts sniffing your guts, hovering around by your snout hole, trying to suck down a bit of a lab-leaked virus? 0.99

00:11:28.000 We're on rumble, I can say that. 1.00

00:11:30.000 Oh, OK, fine.

00:11:30.000 Let's have a look at them.

00:11:32.000 Man's best friend may be able to detect COVID-19 better than some of the world's best technology.

00:11:37.000 Research findings have shown that dogs know... I'm going to rumble, I'm going to say this.

00:11:41.000 Them PCR tests were shit anyway. 1.00

00:11:43.000 Everyone said that. 1.00

00:11:44.000 They used too many revolutions.

00:11:46.000 They tried to amplify it too much.

00:11:47.000 They ain't good.

00:11:49.000 But dogs, however... They're good.

00:11:50.000 They know the exact number of revolutions.

00:11:52.000 You're feeling rough!

00:11:54.000 Sausages! 1.00

00:11:55.000 You need to die! 1.00

00:11:56.000 Sausages! 0.99

00:11:59.000 Can identify the virus faster than some PCR tests, even in patients without symptoms.

00:12:05.000 CBS's Bradley Blackburn has more.

00:12:08.000 They are our companions and best friends.

00:12:11.000 Objectively true.

00:12:12.000 That's not news.

00:12:14.000 What if you don't like dogs?

00:12:14.000 No, it's not news.

00:12:16.000 You don't like my dog.

00:12:17.000 You like cats.

00:12:17.000 No, I don't like big dogs.

00:12:18.000 You don't like big dogs.

00:12:19.000 I like small dogs.

00:12:20.000 Little dogs.

00:12:20.000 Anything that can fit on the lap.

00:12:23.000 Don't you feel that they're a bit like a Yorkie? 1.00

00:12:25.000 A bit too greasy.

00:12:27.000 I beg your pardon?

00:12:28.000 A Yorkie is too greasy.

00:12:29.000 They've got greasy fur.

00:12:31.000 They're very greasy.

00:12:32.000 If you ease your fingers into its pelt, I call it, and start getting into its tissue, you'll have a film all over your fingers.

00:12:42.000 Well, I'm not surprised.

00:12:44.000 A Yorkie, a Maltese teacup, they're greasy. 0.64

00:12:48.000 I don't like a little dog.

00:12:50.000 I like a big dog.

00:12:50.000 No.

00:12:51.000 Right.

00:12:52.000 I like my dog, Bear.

00:12:53.000 Since I've become a parent and a dog owner, I used to- I thought you were a parent of Bear.

00:12:53.000 No, I know.

00:12:59.000 I consider- well, in a way, he's my parent.

00:13:02.000 I love that little guy.

00:13:03.000 Anyway, I don't like everyone else's dog.

00:13:05.000 I just like my dog.

00:13:05.000 No.

00:13:07.000 Everyone else's dogs, kids.

00:13:07.000 Right.

00:13:09.000 I'll say hello, but I'm not interested.

00:13:10.000 Oh, here he comes, look. 1.00

00:13:12.000 Come on, Bear, old son, you dirty bastard. 1.00

00:13:14.000 Get in here and sting the place up. 1.00

00:13:17.000 We've been farting like it's going out of fashion.

00:13:18.000 Have I got Covid, Bear?

00:13:20.000 Go on, Bear, do your work.

00:13:22.000 See?

00:13:22.000 Nope, I think I'm okay.

00:13:23.000 Well done.

00:13:24.000 Brilliant, we can avoid a lockdown.

00:13:25.000 Especially as they don't work anyway.

00:13:27.000 Right, let's have a look at the rest of the news.

00:13:29.000 And now a growing number of studies show dogs have the power to detect the COVID-19 virus.

00:13:35.000 One of the investigators from Columbia came out and said that... He's biased!

00:13:41.000 Look at him!

00:13:42.000 He's got dogs all over everywhere!

00:13:43.000 We can't trust his evidence!

00:13:45.000 He's the equivalent of, like, taking Albert Baller seriously, or that geezer in our government, Jonathan Van Dam, who worked for the government, then Moderna. 0.54

00:13:53.000 He's like him. 0.74

00:13:54.000 This guy's biased towards dogs.

00:13:56.000 Listen, don't take my word for it.

00:13:58.000 Look at my wives! 1.00

00:13:59.000 Up on the wall!

00:14:02.000 They've been sniffing around for ages, and I'll tell you, I'm fit as a fiddle.

00:14:06.000 I mean, to love dogs so much that you've got the dogs, then you've got pictures of the dogs, then you've got another picture of you and the dog, presumably on some sort of swimming honeymoon.

00:14:14.000 But that's all he's got pictures of.

00:14:15.000 There's nothing else.

00:14:16.000 There's a picture of a dog in his own hat!

00:14:18.000 He's like, where else could I get a picture of a dog?

00:14:20.000 Not on my grey skin, that's for sure.

00:14:23.000 I'd tattoo myself!

00:14:24.000 They've got someone who's invested in dogs to do this.

00:14:27.000 Almost a bit like with, I don't know...

00:14:30.000 Moderna?

00:14:31.000 You cannot be objective about dogs when you love dogs that much.

00:14:35.000 If you say, for example, used to work at Moderna, then take a role in the government recommending Moderna, then go back to Moderna again, wear a Moderna hat, pictures of Moderna vaccines on you, I'd say, hang on a minute, mate.

00:14:49.000 You invested in this, and more importantly, does them dogs sleep on your bed, or do you sleep on theirs?

00:14:56.000 RT-PCR is no longer the gold standard.

00:14:59.000 Sorry for needlessly, uh, slandering that man.

00:15:02.000 He's a lovely fella.

00:15:03.000 I don't know why I'm saying it.

00:15:04.000 Well, it's because he looks like he's got a dog family.

00:15:04.000 I'm just saying it for what I do know.

00:15:06.000 That's why you're doing it.

00:15:07.000 It looks like that's his wife and they're his daughters.

00:15:09.000 And it looked like he used to be a dog even ten minutes before this news broadcast began and suddenly turned into a man.

00:15:16.000 And he's just adjusting to life.

00:15:17.000 That's right, yeah.

00:15:18.000 One of my many great rejected film ideas.

00:15:21.000 Dog man.

00:15:22.000 It's the dog!

00:15:23.000 Researchers at UC Santa Barbara and colleagues reviewed dozens of stuff.

00:15:27.000 Colleagues or colleagues?

00:15:29.000 ...from around the world.

00:15:30.000 They say the findings demonstrate trained COVID-19 scent dogs are as effective or more effective than PCR tests, as well as at-home antigen tests.

00:15:40.000 The dogs can detect the virus faster and in patients positive for infection, but not show... I don't like it when they show... Positive, surely.

00:15:48.000 Positive.

00:15:48.000 Oh, that's great.

00:15:49.000 Is that what you've been thinking about all that time?

00:15:49.000 Well done.

00:15:51.000 No, I just said it then.

00:15:52.000 You know when the news shows you... Well done.

00:15:54.000 When the news does, like, this...

00:15:56.000 You want to film people's midriffs?

00:15:57.000 Yes.

00:15:58.000 I would not like to see myself there.

00:16:00.000 No.

00:16:01.000 If, for example, you're that person in Edible Arrangements t-shirt carrying that bag, join us.

00:16:01.000 No.

00:16:07.000 If you come and we'll support you in your claim, because I think you've got a claim there.

00:16:10.000 You definitely have. 0.95

00:16:11.000 Or if you're that person with that bit of grey t-shirt dangling down over your crotch like a sporran. 0.97

00:16:11.000 They're exploiting you. 0.97

00:16:16.000 Awful.

00:16:17.000 Like a codpiece, like an impromptu cloth codpiece and you're wearing your clodhopper boots.

00:16:21.000 I think they're exposing you to potential ridicule.

00:16:24.000 Aren't they?

00:16:24.000 Yes.

00:16:25.000 That's the mainstream media.

00:16:26.000 Also, they can use this footage for any story.

00:16:29.000 So they could do this about obesity or something.

00:16:31.000 Pedophiles.

00:16:32.000 Pedophiles are large in number. 0.86

00:16:35.000 Over half of people are pedos now.

00:16:38.000 They could be among us walking down the street in that t-shirt.

00:16:42.000 It's out of order, isn't it?

00:16:44.000 You're getting tarred with whatever brush they want to use for.

00:16:47.000 Dog people are marrying dogs and wearing dog hats in extraordinary numbers. 0.99

00:16:51.000 Their grey, sallow skin, an indication that they spend all day and all night in the kennel.

00:16:57.000 One person's feeling rough, and his bark is certainly worse than his bite.

00:17:01.000 This reporter won't be wearing a flea collar.

00:17:04.000 The news is just mad, isn't it?

00:17:06.000 Or is that me?

00:17:07.000 ...symptoms yet, as well as patients who do not develop symptoms later, which could help stop the spread of the virus.

00:17:14.000 Should just be a dog coming in that window.

00:17:16.000 That's it, yeah.

00:17:17.000 Instead of that little Q-tip ear-bud thing, stick a dog in the window.

00:17:22.000 We don't even have to stop all the cars.

00:17:23.000 You just, you don't need to do all this.

00:17:25.000 What do you mean, the dog can just run by?

00:17:26.000 He'll just walk by.

00:17:27.000 Dogs are good at sniffing stuff.

00:17:28.000 Yeah, he's alright.

00:17:29.000 Quick piss up that way. 0.98

00:17:29.000 He's alright. 0.98

00:17:30.000 You're alright. 0.99

00:17:32.000 Then maybe he'll get an erection once in a while. 0.99

00:17:34.000 Who will? 0.99

00:17:37.000 The dog?

00:17:38.000 The dog?

00:17:38.000 Not you!

00:17:40.000 That geezer would, wouldn't he?

00:17:41.000 He might.

00:17:42.000 That's a busman's holiday for him.

00:17:43.000 That's what got him into this mess.

00:17:44.000 That's a dream job.

00:17:47.000 Anyway, look, there it is.

00:17:48.000 Dogs can sniff out your Covid.

00:17:50.000 I tell you what, the makers of those tests are not going to like this news.

00:17:53.000 They will not like this.

00:17:54.000 We've got a lovely little racket there.

00:17:55.000 Exactly. 0.65

00:17:56.000 Keep your mouth shut.

00:17:57.000 A lot of dog murders going on in the next few months.

00:18:00.000 Dogs are going to be getting knocked off left and right.

00:18:03.000 Yeah.

00:18:03.000 They're going to be, the dogs, Battersea Dogs Home, they'll have a dog pound.

00:18:08.000 Step it up.

00:18:09.000 Knock out a few more of them.

00:18:10.000 It'll be like Jeffrey Epstein's cell down Battersea Dogs Home. 0.78

00:18:14.000 Dogs hanging from their leads.

00:18:16.000 We took those leads off them.

00:18:17.000 How did they get back in the cells?

00:18:18.000 All the cameras went off.

00:18:20.000 Wouldn't it though?

00:18:21.000 Wouldn't it though?

00:18:22.000 What's that Pfizer logo?

00:18:24.000 Hang on a minute.

00:18:26.000 OK, listen, we've got some other important things to tell you about.

00:18:29.000 What caused them terrible fires in Hawaii?

00:18:31.000 Was it climate change or was it infrastructural failure and neglect?

00:18:37.000 And Joe Biden, have you seen his speech that he gave over there?

00:18:40.000 He said, like, I understand how you feel.

00:18:42.000 I saw a firework display once.

00:18:44.000 It was heartbreaking.

00:18:45.000 Like, he used a nearly story.

00:18:48.000 I nearly lost a Corvette.

00:18:50.000 I nearly lost my Corvette.

00:18:51.000 Well, I found it again.

00:18:52.000 Hunter had parked it outside a porn cinema.

00:18:56.000 You can't compare something that nearly happened to you to something that did happen to a lot of people if you're the President of the United States. 0.90

00:19:03.000 He's a brute.

00:19:03.000 He needs a new alias.

00:19:04.000 He needs a new alias, that geezer. 0.99

00:19:06.000 So let's have a look at how Biden's handling Hawaii and how the media is framing the Hawaii fires.

00:19:11.000 Here's the news.

00:19:12.000 No, here's the effing news, darling.

00:19:15.000 Here's the news. 1.00

00:19:17.000 No, here's the fucking news! 0.99

00:19:20.000 What caused the Hawaii fires? 0.99

00:19:22.000 Was it systemic neglect and infrastructural failure, which means it's their fault?

00:19:28.000 Or is it climate change, which means it's your fault, you'll be paid for it, you'll be banged up?

00:19:33.000 Hmm.

00:19:36.000 We've all been shocked and appalled by the Hawaii fires, and it's interesting to learn that the cause could be infrastructural, i.e.

00:19:43.000 electrical failures, lack of investment, failure of local government, and indeed, federal government.

00:19:50.000 Of course, as soon as these fires happened, many people thought this could be because of climate change, and it will almost certainly be blamed on climate change.

00:20:00.000 Whatever your opinion on climate change is, you surely, like me, must be curious that all of the solutions presented seem to be favourable to centralised authority and beneficial to certain interests, and usually come down to impeding your personal freedom.

00:20:14.000 Let's have a look at this story, and look at how appallingly Joe Biden is handling this mess.

00:20:20.000 Wow, he's finally here!

00:20:23.000 Wow, yeah!

00:20:25.000 Awesome, awesome!

00:20:26.000 Yeah, thanks for nothing!

00:20:27.000 Thanks for nothing! 1.00

00:20:29.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:20:34.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:20:35.000 Some distance from Aloha. 1.00

00:20:36.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:20:37.000 Fuck you! 1.00

00:20:39.000 F**k you! 1.00

00:20:43.000 It's interesting because the mainstream media will have trouble repackaging these disaster victims as sort of pro-Trump, MAGA haters, but if they have to do that, they will. 1.00

00:20:52.000 F**k you! 1.00

00:20:55.000 F**k you! 1.00

00:20:59.000 In a sense, from the perspective of news reporting, it's easy to note that if something supports their agenda, they'll promote it. 1.00

00:21:06.000 If it doesn't, they'll ignore it.

00:21:08.000 These reactions are comparable to the post-hurricane Katrina reactions, where people were disgusted with the state, felt let down by the infrastructure that was in place.

00:21:17.000 The fact that these protests are being largely ignored tells you how this event is being framed.

00:21:23.000 So why aren't you taking care of what you claim to be in charge of, rather than sending out all these funds

00:21:28.000 and whatever else you guys are sending to Ukraine or anywhere.

00:21:31.000 Take care of here first. 0.57

00:21:34.000 You know, this... I don't see why any president wouldn't step up and take care of what's part of their,

00:21:41.000 you know, territory.

00:21:43.000 This disaster, like many disasters or crises, is revealing. It's very difficult not to see that shot

00:21:50.000 and think, yeah, that's a situation that requires public amenities and public funding.

00:21:56.000 This is exactly the type of situation that your tax dollars are meant to go towards resolving.

00:22:02.000 It's a stretch to say that international incidents require American intervention

00:22:08.000 because there's culpability and responsibility.

00:22:10.000 Because of imperialism?

00:22:10.000 What?

00:22:11.000 Colonialism? 0.62

00:22:12.000 Because of an American global agenda?

00:22:14.000 Because of a geopolitical situation that may one day benefit American interests?

00:22:18.000 Surely all of us make a contract with the government that we pay our taxes, you one way or another take care of us.

00:22:24.000 Whether it's through ongoing infrastructure, schools, roads, hospitals, name your priorities.

00:22:29.000 But in particular, if there is a disaster, a situation that requires immediate attending to, the resources are there.

00:22:36.000 The concept of nation is an expansion on the concept of tribe, or family.

00:22:41.000 And if there's a crisis in a family, it's nice to know that the resources are there to take care of it.

00:22:45.000 And more than the resources, the willingness.

00:22:48.000 How is this situation being handled?

00:22:50.000 And what does it tell us about what the nation of America, or at least the American establishment, stands for?

00:22:56.000 I don't want to compare difficulties, but... It's always reassuring to know that the nation is being led by a cogent, cognizant, mindful, fluent, and brilliant politician who'll be able to use his political experience and even family experiences to soothe the suffering people who are just coming out of a massive national emergency and are gonna need to hear some words of compassion, empathy, and above all, wisdom.

00:23:21.000 We have a little sense, Jill and I, what it's like to lose a home.

00:23:26.000 Years ago, now 15 years ago, I was in Washington doing Meet the Press.

00:23:33.000 It was a sunny Sunday.

00:23:34.000 I maintain that Joe Biden believes that he has a kind of homespun folky warmth that he can rely on in times of crisis.

00:23:44.000 I don't think he does possess this ability because often when he uses these anecdotes about stuff that happened to him when he was a kid or normal family stories, he doesn't come across as, oh yeah, he's a person just like Me, it comes across as this guy's really, really dangerously out of touch and has misjudged the mood, not only of the nation, but also like what the human psyche is and what it is to be in a situation of crisis.

00:24:09.000 Like, you do not say to people who have just come through a massive fire that's devastated their homes, I once nearly had something happen to me before.

00:24:17.000 You don't say to Nelson Mandela as he emerged from Robben Island after 27 years of incarceration.

00:24:24.000 I know how you feel because I got trapped in an elevator once.

00:24:28.000 Lightning struck at home on a little lake that's outside of our home, not a lake, a big pond.

00:24:34.000 You can't even accurately describe the body of water that's outside his home.

00:24:38.000 Is it like... Listen, this ukulele's starting to feel quite heavy.

00:24:38.000 Is it a pond?

00:24:41.000 Can you hurry up, please?

00:24:42.000 And hit a wire and came up underneath our home into the heating ducts, the air conditioning duct.

00:24:50.000 Make a long story short.

00:24:51.000 It's making an inappropriate story appropriate.

00:24:55.000 Oh, I was feeling quite bad about my children burning to death, but God, tell me, tell me that your air conditioning unit was all right after your big pond nearly got into the circuit.

00:25:04.000 I almost lost my wife.

00:25:07.000 My 67 Corvette and my cat.

00:25:11.000 I think the important word in this anecdote is almost.

00:25:14.000 Any anecdote that includes the word almost to people that have actually suffered in a terrible fire is an inappropriate one.

00:25:23.000 Look, I know you're still reeling from your children being burned to death, but you see that 67 Corvette?

00:25:28.000 Yeah, I can see it.

00:25:29.000 Well, you might not have been able to if what had nearly happened had actually.

00:25:34.000 Anyway, I'm going to get in it now.

00:25:35.000 Bye!

00:25:36.000 Well, while life in West Maui remains uncertain, one thing is for sure.

00:25:40.000 That place is devastated.

00:25:41.000 That requires immediate intervention.

00:25:44.000 Say if they went on the news in the same way they were at the beginning of the Ukraine-Russia war.

00:25:49.000 There's a terrible crisis in Hawaii.

00:25:51.000 We've got to intervene.

00:25:52.000 What should we do?

00:25:53.000 This is our suggestion.

00:25:54.000 We're going to set up these programs, these plans.

00:25:55.000 Now, I'm sure elsewhere they go, no, people are doing exactly that.

00:25:58.000 But we know that much more money is being spent perpetuating war for the military-industrial complex.

00:26:03.000 We know much more money is spent supporting pharmaceutical companies.

00:26:06.000 We know that the system is set up to be advantageous in times of crisis

00:26:11.000 to elite establishment institutions and barely benefit ordinary people. We know

00:26:15.000 that and actually we can see it. Residents are furious over the local

00:26:19.000 government's response. You see typically when there's a fire

00:26:23.000 you use water to put it out.

00:26:26.000 But Maui's Department of Land and Natural Resources delayed the release of water to landowners to help protect their property from the wildfire.

00:26:34.000 In fact, they even disputed the release of water for hours after the West Maui Land Company made a request to release it.

00:26:41.000 Part of the subtext of this story is that the disaster will impact poor people more than it will rich people.

00:26:48.000 There are even some suggesting that resources were not used expediently and immediately.

00:26:55.000 That most basic of resource that's required during a fire, water, was withheld and people are curious as to why that might have been.

00:27:03.000 At this point it will be irresponsible to suggest anything conspiratorial.

00:27:07.000 But when it becomes plain that our social systems benefit the privileged more than ordinary people, you can't help but wonder if that same mentality applied when deciding what to do with this water.

00:27:18.000 Maui survivors are even telling reporters they had to grab water out of their toilets to fend off the flames.

00:27:26.000 I was grabbing water out of the toilet.

00:27:27.000 I was grabbing water out of my Brita filter in the refrigerator.

00:27:31.000 It's a kind of disconcerting feeling when the fire guys show up and they don't have water.

00:27:35.000 Fire department, sir!

00:27:36.000 Can we have access to your toilet?

00:27:38.000 This isn't even a host.

00:27:40.000 Officials neglected their duties to protect the people they claim to represent.

00:27:44.000 They had other priorities.

00:27:46.000 Just like in 2019 when Hawaiian Electric vowed to invest in fire-resistant technology, now that same company is under heavy scrutiny over indication that its power lines may have ignited the wildfires that has now taken over a hundred lives.

00:28:01.000 And the people of the once beautiful town of Lahaina?

00:28:05.000 Many of them are left to fend for themselves and their neighbors with very little answers and a whole lot of miscommunication.

00:28:14.000 And now they have to fight off vulture capitalists from tricking people into buying their property.

00:28:19.000 Oh, bloody hell, what a terrible, awful story.

00:28:22.000 There hasn't been sufficient investment in infrastructure, there are areas of public life that ought never have been made private, that should have remained within public control, that were given over to profit-pursuing enterprises, and now, in the midst of this terrible disaster, vulture realtors are trying to acquire their property. 0.75

00:28:41.000 Isn't this somewhat comparable to some of the things we learned during the pandemic?

00:28:45.000 It was a disaster and a crisis for most people to varying degrees, perhaps dependent on your economic conditions and your general health.

00:28:53.000 But it was hugely beneficial to a particular strata.

00:28:56.000 Billionaires became richer.

00:28:59.000 Big tech became richer.

00:29:00.000 Big pharma benefited.

00:29:02.000 And in a more localized disaster like this one, it's easy to see how this might be beneficial to certain interests while penurous for ordinary people.

00:29:11.000 Some of the things that's already been happening is realtors are calling families who lost everything, offering them to buy their property and their home for pennies on the dollar.

00:29:21.000 Just pennies on the dollar.

00:29:23.000 So, it's pretty offensive to us that people won't even give us the time to grieve properly.

00:29:28.000 In a way, disasters can be regarded as revelatory.

00:29:31.000 They show us what was previously concealed.

00:29:34.000 And in this instance, it shows that there was an exploitative, corrupt, and inept system undergirding Hawaiian life. 0.98

00:29:41.000 And now that's being revealed to us.

00:29:43.000 Similarly, what's being revealed is there's no infrastructure in terms of our ability to collectively respond, or at least no willingness, certainly not the same willingness that appears to be applied when there are more profitable disasters or disasters that can be exploited for corporate gain.

00:30:00.000 So how will this disaster be used in the media?

00:30:03.000 How will it be exploited economically?

00:30:05.000 And how will it be used to advance ideas and agenda that are favorable to the establishment?

00:30:11.000 This is from Michael Schellenberger's Substack Public.

00:30:13.000 Climate change caused the fire that ravaged Hawaii, according to the New York Times.

00:30:18.000 Climate change turned lush Hawaii into a tinderbox, it reported.

00:30:22.000 The explanation is as straightforward as it is sobering.

00:30:25.000 As the planet heats up, no place is protected from disasters.

00:30:29.000 But the cause of the strong winds which pushed the wildfires into the city of Lahaina was Hurricane Dora, and the best available science shows no increase in hurricanes at global or national levels.

00:30:39.000 It's true that there's been a 31% decline in average yearly rainfall in Hawaii since 1990, according to researchers.

00:30:47.000 The La Niña weather pattern, which usually leads to significant rainfall, has brought less precipitation over the last 40 years.

00:30:54.000 But other changes are more difficult to tie to the rising global temperatures, such as the fact that larger storms have been moving northward, resulting in less rainfall.

00:31:02.000 And only 16% of Maui County, where most of the wildfires were burning, has been in severe drought, with another 20% in moderate drought.

00:31:11.000 What's more, it's been human-made changes to the landscape, including the reversion of former sugarcane farms, which had been irrigated to invasive grasses which are quick to ignite.

00:31:22.000 The landscape is just covered with flammable stuff, one expert told the Times.

00:31:26.000 All of the conditions just came together.

00:31:28.000 Analysts found drops to power line voltage, which means that the lines were likely spraying sparks onto dry grasses.

00:31:35.000 It is unambiguous that Hawaiian Electric's grid experience demented stress for a prolonged time, said one analyst.

00:31:41.000 There were dozens and dozens of major faults on the grid, and any one of those could have been the ignition source for a fire.

00:31:47.000 Hawaiian Electric failed to clear flammable grasses from around electric wires.

00:31:52.000 Over the last three years, the electric utility spent less than $250,000 into wildfire prevention.

00:31:58.000 It had a plan, but it failed to implement it, noted Li Fang.

00:32:01.000 The State Utility Commission dragged its feet on upgrades to La Hena's fire protection, with a time estimate for wildfire protection upgrades starting this year and completed in 2027.

00:32:13.000 If this is a result of infrastructural neglect, particularly if that infrastructure is privately owned and driven by profit and is therefore cutting costs and not investing significantly in, for example, safe lines and clearing grasses, that leads you to very different conclusions than it was caused by the planet heating up and anthropogenic climate change.

00:32:34.000 One of those theories leads to more control being asserted on ordinary citizens.

00:32:40.000 The other theory means that there has to be more investment in infrastructure, more accountability, and more accountability in government.

00:32:48.000 One of those theories will be promoted, the other one will be largely ignored for obvious reasons.

00:32:53.000 If the problem is government and corporate greed, what kind of solutions suggest themselves?

00:32:59.000 More accountability from government, the ability to control private utilities, If it's climate change, 15 minute cities, you've got to recycle more, it's essentially your fault, and just a general culture of fear which can be utilised to generate and implement control.

00:33:15.000 So those theories have very different outcomes.

00:33:18.000 Personally, I believe that respect and love for the planet and doing everything possible to ensure that the planet is treated favourably and respectfully is just plain common sense.

00:33:28.000 But I note that whenever climate change arguments are leveraged, It's usually with the aim of controlling ordinary people's

00:33:34.000 actions rather than making big business or the state more generally culpable.

00:33:38.000 I was already fighting with the electric company because they never maintain the lines, said

00:33:42.000 a fifth generation Hawaii resident who lives on a family farm.

00:33:45.000 We were very concerned that these high voltage lines were running through our property and

00:33:49.000 going to our neighbours because they'd been on the ground, buried in trees or lying so

00:33:53.000 low.

00:33:54.000 And it's now clear that a Hawaii state water official named M. Kaleo Manuel delayed the

00:33:59.000 the release of water to landowners who wanted it to prevent fires.

00:34:03.000 The water standoff played out over much of the day, reported Stuart Yurton of Honolulu City Beat, and the water didn't come until too late.

00:34:11.000 Another example of infrastructural failure and prioritization that seems at odds with the needs of ordinary people.

00:34:17.000 Firefighters didn't have the water they needed because Manuel, the Deputy Director for Water Resources of Hawaii's Department of Land and Natural Resources, refused to release water even as the fire was raging.

00:34:27.000 It seems as if that situation demanded immediate reprioritisation and response.

00:34:32.000 So now we're looking at potential corporate greed and government ineptitude as the causes of this fire, or at least conditions that made the consequences of the fire worse.

00:34:42.000 A private landowner, the West Maui Land Co, which manages three of West Maui's water providers, said its firefighters asked the state to divert water from streams to enable them to store as much water as possible for fire control.

00:34:55.000 If there are favourable relationships between corporations and the state, those are the kind of things that are not implausible.

00:35:01.000 They're quite possible, even likely.

00:35:03.000 Why is that?

00:35:04.000 Why did Hawaiian Electric fail to implement its wildfire mitigation plan?

00:35:08.000 And why did Manuel refuse to release the water?

00:35:11.000 To a large extent, the apocalyptic claims made about climate change by people in developed nations reflect their ignorance of the infrastructure and practices that protect us from flood control, to baseload power plants, to forest management.

00:35:23.000 They take civilization for granted, at least that is, until it fails, as it is increasingly starting to do.

00:35:30.000 Elizabeth Pickett, co-executive director of the non-profit Hawaii Wildfire Management Organization, told the Wall Street Journal that measures like ramping up emergency response capacity have been stymied by lack of funding, logistical hurdles in rugged terrain, and competing priorities.

00:35:46.000 What are these other priorities?

00:35:47.000 While the US government, backed by the corporate media, continuously claims there is no money to build

00:35:52.000 infrastructure and take measures that will prevent such disasters

00:35:55.000 from happening in the first place, there is an endless supply of funds

00:35:57.000 for war and financial bailouts of the banks and corporations.

00:36:01.000 We've all noticed that.

00:36:02.000 We've all experienced that from 2008 onwards.

00:36:05.000 Resources are made available for particular crises, financial and military, but they're not

00:36:10.000 made available for domestic disasters such as this one.

00:36:15.000 It's almost like in microcosm, the diversion of that water and the use of that water tells you how the system works.

00:36:22.000 Private interests that have close connections with the government are able to divert resources and funds to their favour.

00:36:29.000 It seems to me that in a real democracy you would be able to determine where resources are allocated.

00:36:35.000 Do you want them spent domestically?

00:36:36.000 Would you like funds available when there are disasters?

00:36:39.000 Or do you want perennial war that are beneficial to certain establishment interests?

00:36:44.000 The US government, through both Democratic and Republican administrations over the past three decades, has spent trillions of dollars on imperialist wars that have killed and displaced millions of people, and at the same time, funneled similar amounts into the financial system to ensure that money-making for billionaires on Wall Street continued without disruption.

00:37:01.000 And yet the response of the political establishment has been an astounding degree of disinterest and the shrinking of any responsibility for the disaster.

00:37:09.000 Joe Biden earned more criticism for being out of touch with Americans during his stop in Maui Monday, including scorn for providing $700 assistance checks.

00:37:18.000 The White House announced that each affected household in Hawaii will receive a $700 check to address immediate needs, including water, food and clothing.

00:37:26.000 But it's a sum that many Islanders consider insulting.

00:37:29.000 The level of dismay, anger and distrust of the government is palpable within the population of Maui.

00:37:35.000 This disaster and tragedy is revelatory in a number of ways.

00:37:40.000 It shows that at least in part, these fires were caused or exacerbated by government ineptitude, by a bias towards corporate interests instead of the needs of the community.

00:37:52.000 And in the response of the American government, We can see how our institutions are organised in terms of what is prioritised.

00:38:00.000 And with ugly details like the vulture realtors swooping down to profit from the situation, it is made even clearer that our culture is in need of radical review.

00:38:11.000 It's not unreasonable to expect that if you're a taxpayer, and a citizen of a nation that in times of crisis and disaster there are resources made available to you to help you in a crisis.

00:38:22.000 Particularly if that crisis has been made worse by a lack of infrastructure and maybe even caused by it.

00:38:28.000 Particularly if privatised electric companies, in order to increase profits, don't spend enough money on maintaining their lines or clearing the ground.

00:38:35.000 And particularly if water isn't made available because they have other priorities Rather than putting out urgent conflagrations.

00:38:43.000 And the fact that the mainstream media will, when reporting on this story, focus on the climate change narrative rather than ineptitude within the state and private sector, in a sense, tells you everything you need to know about the modern world.

00:38:56.000 Our systems are not set out to benefit us in times of crisis, or indeed at any time at all.

00:39:02.000 It just becomes clearer when there is a crisis.

00:39:05.000 A crisis functions as a lens that reveals to you how your leaders behave when they're put under pressure, how your institutions behave, what the consequences are of having no public infrastructure, and how the media will rally to ensure that the narrative that sticks is one that doesn't afford us the opportunity to reorganise our systems. 0.94

00:39:26.000 Those people shouting, fuck you Joe Biden, they intuitively and indeed empirically now understand what the problems with the American government and American system is.

00:39:36.000 It's set up to benefit one strata of society and one strata of society only and it becomes more evident in times of crisis that your government doesn't work for you and trickle-down economics doesn't work for you and in times of emergency that will become candid and stark. 0.99

00:39:52.000 And while Joe Biden gives speeches where he pretends that he's just like you because he nearly had a fire once, the fact is that he, as he told the donor class prior to his election, operates on their behalf and nothing will fundamentally change.

00:40:06.000 As this article says, nothing has fundamentally changed in the last 30 years.

00:40:09.000 The relationship between government and corporations, whether a local level or a national level, are so entwined that it will take a disaster to reveal how little support for ordinary people there is.

00:40:20.000 And when those disasters come, It's already too late.

00:40:23.000 Let me know what you think in the chat.

00:40:23.000 But that's just what I think.

00:40:24.000 See you in a second.

00:40:25.000 Thank you for choosing Fox News.

00:40:27.000 No. Here's the fucking news. 1.00

00:40:30.000 Raging fires used to impose more draconian measures on an already suffering population. 0.99

00:40:36.000 Dogs dragged from their kennels and forced to go to work as COVID sniff dogs.

00:40:41.000 The world is not a nice place.

00:40:43.000 But football is not like that.

00:40:45.000 Football is nice.

00:40:48.000 Football is nice.

00:40:55.000 Welcome to Football is Nice, a football podcast that celebrates the beautiful and pleasant aspects of the

00:41:01.000 beautiful game while not turning a blind eye to the evident corruption,

00:41:06.000 hypocrisy and odd financial models that are currently beleaguered.

00:41:10.000 Football in the mainstream.

00:41:13.000 Joining me is Gareth Roy, producer of the show, friend, associate and Hull fan.

00:41:19.000 Before we get into a week of fantastic football news, why ain't you modelling this Football is Nice bit of merch?

00:41:25.000 I've only just It's been handed it.

00:41:26.000 You don't like it?

00:41:27.000 You said that you think the logo's too high on the hoodie.

00:41:30.000 Yeah, I think it could have a nice football badge on there.

00:41:32.000 Could have been, could have had a nice football badge on there.

00:41:34.000 Nevertheless, it's for sale and it's for charity and it could have a badge on it and at least it doesn't say football is nonce like the producer Jamie said it could have done.

00:41:43.000 That's a plus.

00:41:44.000 In error.

00:41:45.000 We've got a lot to get one of these.

00:41:46.000 All goes to charity, doesn't it?

00:41:47.000 It helps drug addicts.

00:41:49.000 If you'd have told me that, I'd have said I really like it.

00:41:51.000 See?

00:41:52.000 You're basically taking the drugs out of kids' mouths.

00:41:56.000 Not again.

00:41:57.000 With all of those kind of irresponsible statements.

00:42:00.000 Yeah, but do support the Stay Free Foundation and do acquire some of our merchandise.

00:42:03.000 We've got loads of things to talk to you about.

00:42:05.000 Of course, the Lionesses sadly lost to Spain 1-0 in the Women's World Cup final, but it done well on Australian telly, so that's good, isn't it?

00:42:14.000 It is.

00:42:15.000 Not surprised.

00:42:16.000 Massive stadium full.

00:42:17.000 It's huge over there.

00:42:18.000 It's good that it's doing well and it's been very successful.

00:42:21.000 And in the EPL, there's a lot of things going on that I actually want to talk to you about.

00:42:25.000 Yeah?

00:42:26.000 Yep.

00:42:26.000 I've got a lot of observations, Gareth.

00:42:28.000 Oh, good.

00:42:28.000 I like this.

00:42:29.000 West Ham beat Chelsea.

00:42:30.000 Yes, they certainly did.

00:42:31.000 That's the main news again.

00:42:32.000 That's the result of the weekend, surely.

00:42:34.000 Yeah, it is.

00:42:35.000 It's the result of the weekend.

00:42:36.000 It was enjoyable.

00:42:38.000 Last half hour, just ten men.

00:42:39.000 Did you ever see it, or did you watch the highlights?

00:42:40.000 Yeah, I was watching it live.

00:42:41.000 I watched it live, then I watched the highlights, knowing that it's not that feeling.

00:42:44.000 That's the best.

00:42:45.000 And you can even enjoy when Chelsea equalise, you know, this don't matter. 1.00

00:42:49.000 Doesn't matter. 1.00

00:42:49.000 And all their happiness looks stupid and pointless. 1.00

00:42:52.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:42:52.000 And you can laugh at them, from the safety of the future. 1.00

00:42:55.000 I love laughing from the safety of the future.

00:42:55.000 Oh, I love that.

00:42:57.000 Absolutely.

00:42:58.000 At Chelsea's celebrating goalscorer.

00:43:00.000 There's nothing better than getting a really good result for your team.

00:43:03.000 Watching the full game, then watching the highlights, and then watching all the mini highlights and stuff.

00:43:07.000 It's a joy.

00:43:08.000 Brilliant.

00:43:09.000 What I do think is that Chelsea need a shirt sponsor.

00:43:12.000 I'm not surprised they can't get one.

00:43:14.000 £75 million per win under Todd Bowley's stewardship is what it is.

00:43:18.000 They spent a billion quid and have only had 15 wins.

00:43:21.000 The rest is maps.

00:43:22.000 We could offer them Football Is Nice as a sponsor.

00:43:25.000 I'd like to see that lad, Caicedo, came on, did a little prayer.

00:43:29.000 If I was a betting man, I'd say he's going to score that!

00:43:32.000 Apparently he's been investigated for betting on yellow cards.

00:43:35.000 Is that what it is?

00:43:36.000 I'd say he's gonna score that.

00:43:38.000 Apparently he's being investigated for betting on yellow cards.

00:43:43.000 Is that what it is?

00:43:44.000 What's wrong with that?

00:43:46.000 You can't stop someone having a bit of fun.

00:43:49.000 It's a bit niche, isn't it?

00:43:51.000 Betting on yellow cards.

00:43:52.000 What, on whether or not there's going to be one?

00:43:54.000 Or when?

00:43:54.000 And who?

00:43:55.000 I mean, they're taking it seriously now, though, aren't they?

00:43:57.000 That's obviously why Ivan Toney got that ban as well, wasn't it?

00:44:00.000 Yeah, and he's been out.

00:44:01.000 Is it an eight-month ban for Ivan Toney?

00:44:03.000 Not that it seems to matter to Brentford.

00:44:05.000 No.

00:44:06.000 They don't care.

00:44:06.000 They just get another player for next to nothing.

00:44:08.000 What's happened?

00:44:08.000 Exactly.

00:44:09.000 It's amazing.

00:44:09.000 They can accommodate selling their best players.

00:44:11.000 One minute, Oli Wilkins, Saeed Benrahma.

00:44:13.000 Yep.

00:44:14.000 Ah, the claim is he was getting a yellow card on purpose.

00:44:16.000 Not for the Hammers over there in Brazil before.

00:44:19.000 When was he doing it?

00:44:20.000 Where did Paquita come from?

00:44:21.000 Where did he come from?

00:44:22.000 Did we get him from... Where was he?

00:44:24.000 He was in Portugal.

00:44:26.000 I don't watch him.

00:44:27.000 He was getting the yellow cards on purpose.

00:44:29.000 I bet I do get a yellow card on purpose during this game.

00:44:33.000 Oh, look, I did get a yellow card on purpose.

00:44:36.000 Well, that's... I hope he didn't do that.

00:44:36.000 Oh, no.

00:44:38.000 Well, he's only been investigated.

00:44:39.000 We don't know that it's... Leave him alone.

00:44:41.000 He's a good lad.

00:44:41.000 ...definite yet.

00:44:42.000 He's not gone to Man City now.

00:44:43.000 That's the reason it's fallen through, apparently.

00:44:45.000 The deal was agreed, 85 million, and now Man City don't want him.

00:44:49.000 That clause didn't come active till next season, so they should have left it.

00:44:54.000 My city's got to stop buying.

00:44:55.000 Who'd they buy now?

00:44:56.000 They bought some little French lad, Winger.

00:44:57.000 Yeah, they're buying another player, yeah, I don't know.

00:44:59.000 They just buy players all the time, don't they?

00:45:00.000 Everyone's doing it.

00:45:01.000 But I've got a few observations.

00:45:03.000 Oh, this is what's happened.

00:45:04.000 Lavia, condemned forever to sound like labia, but which isn't really a bad word, it just means lips.

00:45:09.000 Endo, he's gone from Stuttgart to Liverpool.

00:45:09.000 Yes.

00:45:12.000 I like him.

00:45:14.000 Oh, where's Mitrovich gone?

00:45:15.000 He's gone to Saudi Arabia.

00:45:17.000 He'll do alright out there.

00:45:18.000 He's tough as old boots, isn't he?

00:45:20.000 And there's that lad that's come from France.

00:45:23.000 Belgian lad, is he?

00:45:24.000 He's gone to the city now.

00:45:26.000 Now, there's a few observations I'd like to make.

00:45:27.000 Go on.

00:45:29.000 Pochettino.

00:45:30.000 Yes.

00:45:31.000 He's a nice fella, and a lovely friendly face.

00:45:32.000 Lovely face.

00:45:33.000 Lovely friendly warm face.

00:45:35.000 Face you can love.

00:45:35.000 Yeah.

00:45:36.000 Squidgey kind of face.

00:45:37.000 Give him a good squidge. 0.99

00:45:38.000 My kids like a thing called a Squishmallow. 1.00

00:45:40.000 It's a type of cuddly toy, first bought for them by producer James in there.

00:45:44.000 Nice.

00:45:45.000 They've got lots of them now, and Pochettino's head could very easily become one.

00:45:49.000 If he wanted that.

00:45:49.000 Right.

00:45:50.000 Although he's got to focus on Chelsea because they seem to be in a lot of trouble.

00:45:53.000 One of the things he has done for apotropaic reasons.

00:45:56.000 Yeah, that means good luck.

00:45:57.000 That's the word I got Simon Jordan to use when he, you know, when he went back on radio.

00:46:02.000 He's moved dugouts.

00:46:05.000 He's switched up the home and away dugouts.

00:46:07.000 Has he?

00:46:08.000 No one does things like that really, do they?

00:46:10.000 Is that a Ferguson move?

00:46:11.000 Is it a Mourinho move?

00:46:13.000 Or is it a Bum move? 0.98

00:46:14.000 It's not paying off.

00:46:15.000 Is it Phil Brown on the pitch at half time?

00:46:17.000 Or is it Ferguson booting a teacup at Beckham's head and selling Japstam?

00:46:22.000 Was this pre-season then that he did this?

00:46:25.000 Yep.

00:46:25.000 He said he didn't want to be there.

00:46:26.000 He wanted to be in that one.

00:46:27.000 He says that one's better.

00:46:30.000 That's what he's decided.

00:46:31.000 Superstitions.

00:46:32.000 I mean, they're all at it, aren't they?

00:46:33.000 They've all got them.

00:46:35.000 When football's so much down to the fine lines, superstition comes into it, surely.

00:46:40.000 Superstition's as old as our kind itself, because it's difficult sometimes to work out the reasons for things.

00:46:44.000 Like, I think a lot of it's born out of, you know, like praying before a hunt, or praying before a crop yield.

00:46:51.000 You know, they say in agricultural societies you have resurrected gods, gods that have come back from the dead, because you'd want things to come out of the soil again.

00:47:01.000 It's like you need God to carry you from beneath the soil, and of course our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Famously came back from the dead.

00:47:09.000 That's almost very good.

00:47:10.000 That's his main move.

00:47:11.000 Main move.

00:47:12.000 There's walking on water.

00:47:12.000 It was great.

00:47:14.000 We all love that.

00:47:14.000 Yep.

00:47:15.000 But the main move... What about the old wine?

00:47:18.000 I've always thought that's probably saying you could pull off.

00:47:20.000 Right.

00:47:20.000 Like, but like the back from the dead.

00:47:23.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:47:24.000 That separates the men from the deities. 1.00

00:47:27.000 Once you're sort of saying death itself, the sweet lady.

00:47:30.000 Because Klopp doesn't even watch penalties, does he?

00:47:32.000 What do you mean?

00:47:32.000 He turns away?

00:47:33.000 Yeah, he turns away.

00:47:34.000 I always think, God, someone with clop... the kind of passion and the... I guess... I can't watch this!

00:47:39.000 I can't!

00:47:40.000 I'm actually worried that his teeth glint will put off the penalty taker.

00:47:44.000 Right.

00:47:44.000 Those big, gleaming, gorgeous railings.

00:47:46.000 If I had to lick another man's teeth, I'd lick clop's. 1.00

00:47:49.000 Would you? 0.99

00:47:49.000 How about for me now? 0.99

00:47:50.000 I know he's gone now.

00:47:51.000 No.

00:47:51.000 Hold on.

00:47:52.000 Okay.

00:47:52.000 No?

00:47:53.000 Because of the neck tattoos.

00:47:54.000 I know that don't affect dental matters.

00:47:56.000 Hang on, how much are you licking at this point?

00:47:58.000 Just one lick across the front. 1.00

00:48:00.000 Okay.

00:48:01.000 Yeah.

00:48:01.000 Like that.

00:48:02.000 I don't generally lick anyone's teeth.

00:48:03.000 I think after you did it, Clot would laugh.

00:48:05.000 Ha ha! 0.86

00:48:06.000 Well done, you fulfilled the bet!

00:48:08.000 Get out there! 0.99

00:48:09.000 Now get out there and take a penalty!

00:48:11.000 Oh no, I shouldn't have watched that.

00:48:13.000 He'd be very disappointed.

00:48:14.000 Yeah.

00:48:15.000 Artea didn't even know he was going to take the penalty against Palace the other night, did you know that?

00:48:19.000 He didn't even know he was going to take the penalties?

00:48:19.000 No.

00:48:21.000 No.

00:48:21.000 Live up to them.

00:48:23.000 Oh no, it's important isn't it?

00:48:25.000 Don't you think Artea should know?

00:48:26.000 Well, it's working for him isn't it?

00:48:28.000 Artea should know.

00:48:30.000 Is it working?

00:48:31.000 Why?

00:48:31.000 Because it's a good score?

00:48:32.000 Well, yeah, two out of two now.

00:48:34.000 I mean, is it going to be the same as last season?

00:48:36.000 Is it going to be Man City and Arsenal again?

00:48:37.000 Because the others don't look at it at all, do they?

00:48:40.000 They don't.

00:48:41.000 Liverpool.

00:48:42.000 Crap at the back. 1.00

00:48:43.000 United. 1.00

00:48:44.000 Not great. 1.00

00:48:44.000 Crap at the back. 1.00

00:48:45.000 Really bad in general. 1.00

00:48:46.000 Terrible against Tottenham.

00:48:47.000 Awful against Spurs.

00:48:48.000 Really, I thought, really bad against Wolves before then.

00:48:52.000 Yeah, I mean, I don't know.

00:48:54.000 Some people are saying, specifically Jamie there, be right on.

00:48:57.000 Brighton.

00:48:58.000 Huh, what?

00:48:59.000 Top four?

00:49:00.000 They've had a great start.

00:49:00.000 Possible.

00:49:01.000 They've had a great start.

00:49:02.000 Who knows?

00:49:03.000 And they look good.

00:49:04.000 Yeah, I just don't know who else is... Chelsea obviously aren't going to challenge, but it feels like it's those two again this season. 0.99

00:49:09.000 Is De Serby...

00:49:11.000 Guardiola in hamster land.

00:49:14.000 Right.

00:49:15.000 Hamster Guardiola, you know?

00:49:15.000 Interesting.

00:49:17.000 Like, he's got the sort of qualities of Guardiola.

00:49:19.000 And Guardiola's influence is so strong that it's not even football anymore.

00:49:23.000 It's tops.

00:49:24.000 Like, people wear different... I swear, people wear different stuff now, managers.

00:49:27.000 Right.

00:49:28.000 Since Guardiola, they don't wear what football managers used to wear.

00:49:31.000 A football manager's never gonna turn up now in a sheepskin coat.

00:49:35.000 With a big, like, gold bracelet.

00:49:35.000 No.

00:49:37.000 There you go.

00:49:38.000 Guardiola meets hamster.

00:49:40.000 Deserby.

00:49:42.000 Like he's been spliced in a lab.

00:49:44.000 Not in Wuhan, I'm not saying that.

00:49:45.000 It's been done somewhere else.

00:49:47.000 This has been done for good purposes.

00:49:50.000 In the service of science.

00:49:52.000 For our benefit.

00:49:53.000 We must know what happens if you cross Guardiola with Amster.

00:49:56.000 We want to know.

00:49:57.000 Put him in one of them little spheres.

00:49:59.000 You're never going to get another football manager out in a sheepskin, like Ron Atkinson. 1.00

00:50:03.000 Big lovely old gold bracelet.

00:50:05.000 You're not going to get that no more, are you?

00:50:07.000 Smoking all over that fella. 0.97

00:50:09.000 He also used to have a fag on his bucket, didn't he? 0.99

00:50:11.000 He'd smoke a snout and sit on his bucket. 0.98

00:50:13.000 He did.

00:50:14.000 It's a shame.

00:50:15.000 Maybe every now and again you get someone like Turnup, you know?

00:50:18.000 Like a weird anomaly from yesteryear.

00:50:21.000 Absolutely.

00:50:21.000 Did you see them having the Sky Sports presenters had to apologise to Sean Dyche?

00:50:25.000 Because you think Sean Dyche is one of the old guard, one of the last remaining.

00:50:28.000 All right.

00:50:29.000 That's right.

00:50:30.000 Zelensky voice.

00:50:31.000 All right.

00:50:32.000 Yeah.

00:50:35.000 That's it.

00:50:36.000 He's old school.

00:50:37.000 Oh, he's got a tough time at Everton, though, hasn't he?

00:50:37.000 Good manager.

00:50:39.000 They're in serious stuck, I would say.

00:50:42.000 But they said he looked like a croupier, but actually was a mark of respect.

00:50:46.000 For a sadly recently deceased fan.

00:50:48.000 It is lovely to see.

00:50:49.000 Anfield, they did that.

00:50:51.000 A minute of applause on the 26th minute as well.

00:50:53.000 Yeah, well, that's plainly a black armband.

00:50:55.000 What did they think that that was?

00:50:56.000 They said he looked like a croupier.

00:50:58.000 You look like a croupier!

00:50:59.000 It's actually a mark of respect for the recently dead fan.

00:51:03.000 Sorry. 0.99

00:51:04.000 They're silly sods. 0.99

00:51:05.000 They should nary have gone near that subject, should they? 1.00

00:51:08.000 Whose nickname is a bit stupid? 1.00

00:51:10.000 Cherries. 1.00

00:51:11.000 Right.

00:51:12.000 Who wants to be called Cherries? 1.00

00:51:13.000 No, I wouldn't want that.

00:51:14.000 Come on, Cherries! 1.00

00:51:16.000 I even feel a little bit embarrassed about Tigers sometimes.

00:51:19.000 At least Tigers are... Yeah, because the problem is... It's overkill. 0.78

00:51:25.000 Yeah, it's a bit too much.

00:51:26.000 I think you have to be... You have to be the greatest team in the world, in a way, to pull off... Yeah, for that.

00:51:31.000 If Man City were the Tigers...

00:51:33.000 Yeah, you could just about, but it's all like, rawr, and we sing like mauled by the tigers and sometimes I think, oh, I don't know, I don't feel so comfortable with this.

00:51:41.000 Redding are the biscuit men, which like, you know, they get sort of bogged down in wet conditions, they crumble too easily. 1.00

00:51:49.000 The biscuit men's stupid. 0.99

00:51:51.000 Toffees, I mean it's so old that it almost, I don't know, but cherries, the connotations of cherries are too... 1.00

00:51:57.000 I would say almost sexual.

00:51:59.000 Got it.

00:52:00.000 We're those cherries of Bournemouth.

00:52:00.000 Yes.

00:52:03.000 Look what's going on down there.

00:52:05.000 Pluck one of those, pal, if you wish.

00:52:08.000 We've got a new manager from Spain.

00:52:08.000 It's too arch!

00:52:10.000 Have you seen this fella?

00:52:12.000 He's about 25 years old.

00:52:14.000 Look at this guy.

00:52:15.000 Plucking those. 1.00

00:52:17.000 Suck the stones off of that, why don't you? 1.00

00:52:20.000 Nibble all the flesh off. 1.00

00:52:21.000 See what you're left with.

00:52:22.000 You'll be fine.

00:52:23.000 Our Ford's pretty bloody useful.

00:52:25.000 What are you going to do about him?

00:52:27.000 West Ham want him.

00:52:27.000 We do?

00:52:28.000 Well, I'll take you, Sonny.

00:52:30.000 So it's not a good nickname.

00:52:32.000 Right.

00:52:33.000 and uh... right city vs newcastle when you watch the city vs newcastle you

00:52:40.000 find yourself in the peculiar position

00:52:42.000 of wanting another oil nation that team to put up a fight these lot really when it comes to it are the only lot that

00:52:51.000 can put up a fight say when you watch man united you think actually

00:52:54.000 man united are basically not trying

00:52:57.000 I don't mean on the pitch, I mean in the transfer market.

00:53:01.000 The only way I think that they were going to make a difference, other than the kind of ingenious marketing and transfer strategies deployed by clubs like Brentford and Brighton, is going to be buy Harry Kane and buy Declan Rice.

00:53:15.000 It's got to be that proven top flight Professional footballers if I don't do that I think you have to take seriously the idea that Man United are happy with their economic model and like football's almost a side hustle for Manchester United that they're not in it for the trophies the medals or even the top four places because

00:53:35.000 On current standing, Ten Hag, I saw him and he looked like he was out of Star Trek.

00:53:41.000 I saw him and he was wearing something beige.

00:53:43.000 The neckline was too high on his t-shirt.

00:53:46.000 He looked like Ming the Merciless' stepchild.

00:53:50.000 It was Ming the, I'm doing my best, but I do have some mercy.

00:53:54.000 He didn't look like, I thought, nah.

00:53:57.000 You know, it's weird how quickly that allure changes, isn't it?

00:53:59.000 It's a bit like, right now, we're all in the lure of Ange Ball, like, Poster Cogloo.

00:54:04.000 I want it to, as I've said many times, I'm not a fan of Tottenham, but I like Ange Poster Cogloo.

00:54:10.000 I like people that talk like, ah, come on, mate, look, just try it.

00:54:14.000 Well, you know, it's not exactly that.

00:54:15.000 Yeah, it was done quite well.

00:54:16.000 No, these two lads are doing good.

00:54:18.000 The two midfielders look good.

00:54:20.000 One's called Sarri and Burismo or something like that.

00:54:23.000 I don't know, Burismo's actually where Hunter Biden had a legitimate and deserved job.

00:54:28.000 But like, I love him.

00:54:30.000 But it can change so fast.

00:54:32.000 You know, at the moment you think, hang on a minute.

00:54:34.000 I've read him things.

00:54:35.000 He's revolutionised Tottenham.

00:54:36.000 They're playing with joy.

00:54:37.000 It's a new system.

00:54:39.000 It's going to be fantastic.

00:54:41.000 But it can change like that.

00:54:42.000 And for Spurs especially, it can change like that.

00:54:44.000 I mean, how many false dawns have Spurs had over the last few years?

00:54:48.000 You think, oh, this is the solution.

00:54:49.000 Pochettino, we've got to the semifinals of the Champions League.

00:54:52.000 Final, sorry, of the Champions League.

00:54:54.000 And then, you know, I think he's gone the following season.

00:54:56.000 There's always... Mourinho, he's going to be the answer.

00:54:59.000 Conte, he's going to be the answer.

00:55:00.000 You know, there's... I'm not suggesting... I mean, Postacoglu plays definitely a different type of football to those managers, but I don't know.

00:55:09.000 I'd be wary.

00:55:10.000 It seems to me that sometimes football clubs have objectives that are distinct from the explicit and obvious objective of winning football trophies.

00:55:20.000 Like, Tottenham seem to prize, do you know what we can do?

00:55:23.000 We get brilliant deals on players and we only sell them at the absolute last minute for a shitload.

00:55:28.000 United, we've got a fantastic economic model.

00:55:30.000 It's only really Manchester City that seem resolutely determined to actually win football trophies Mercilessly, if necessary, they're deserved tigers.

00:55:42.000 It's nearly 5,500 days since Tottenham won a trophy.

00:55:47.000 Yeah, it just seems like strategically Man City know exactly what they're doing, doesn't it?

00:55:51.000 Every time they let someone go, they've already got a replacement there.

00:55:55.000 It's like, how are they doing this?

00:55:56.000 I mean, obviously the money, but there must be more to it.

00:55:59.000 Like we talked about before, the kind of infrastructure at City.

00:56:02.000 But the strategic side of what they do and what Guardiola does is incredible.

00:56:07.000 I can't see how even another Royal-backed nation is going to be able to compete because, as you say, look at Newcastle.

00:56:14.000 They've come in, they've brought some good players, including that lad who was tricked into going to a Wetherspoons pub, which is a low-rent boozer in the UK.

00:56:22.000 Tenali, yeah.

00:56:22.000 Tenali.

00:56:23.000 Tenali was pranked by his mates and he said, can you tell me what is the finest restaurant in Newcastle?

00:56:29.000 Then after much sniggering and amusement, because the question itself is Ridiculous, no offence, people of Newcastle, I love you.

00:56:37.000 They sent him to a Weatherspoon, which actually might be, actually, the best restaurant in Newcastle.

00:56:42.000 And, like, but it's a sort of, also, it's a booze house.

00:56:44.000 I mean, what's the American equivalent of that?

00:56:47.000 That is a chain bar, you know, like a bar that's everywhere, and where it prizes itself on cheap booze.

00:56:54.000 That's Denny's, isn't that, is it?

00:56:55.000 No, Denny's is... Imagine Denny's sold alcohol, and that when you went in there, you might get beaten up.

00:57:01.000 And then it's Denny's.

00:57:03.000 It's Violent Drunk Denny's.

00:57:05.000 No offence Weatherspoon.

00:57:06.000 It's Violent Drunk Brexit Denny's.

00:57:09.000 Denny Brexit Denny's.

00:57:09.000 That's what it is.

00:57:11.000 Actually, if you'd like to speak to us, there's a number there if you want to speak to a member of staff or contact us.

00:57:17.000 We could ring that number.

00:57:17.000 That's good.

00:57:18.000 You don't often get phone numbers in tweets and I can see why people take number plates and phone numbers out of films because I actually really strongly want to ring that.

00:57:27.000 In the old days we would have done.

00:57:29.000 In these days I might do.

00:57:31.000 Now, Malaga fans were so angry that their club have not made any signings that they've decided to sarcastically meet arriving tourists at Malaga airport as if they were new signings, which is the kind of sort of situationism that you would never get out of British football fans.

00:57:49.000 You can see that these are the descendants of Salvador Dali using surrealism as a form of protest.

00:57:55.000 So if you're watching this, it's amazing.

00:57:57.000 And if you're listening, I'll just describe it for you.

00:57:59.000 Here it is.

00:58:01.000 Let's do it again.

00:58:07.000 What I like about this, they're all at the airport wearing their kits and they're greeting tourists.

00:58:11.000 And this one coming, I would guess, based on a bit of racial profiling, somewhere for like Japan or Korea or something like that.

00:58:19.000 They meet this guy, he looks so confused.

00:58:21.000 It's brilliant.

00:58:21.000 Yeah.

00:58:22.000 Like they just come up to him, take photos with him and stuff like that.

00:58:25.000 And imagine that, you must think that's just what happens when you go to Spain.

00:58:28.000 What's Spain like?

00:58:29.000 Friendly, like every single person arrives there, they treat like a conquering hero.

00:58:34.000 That's took some planning and some discussion.

00:58:38.000 And also, I like the joyful expression of anger.

00:58:41.000 Yes.

00:58:42.000 Like, rather than, like, this guy smashed something up.

00:58:44.000 Yeah, at worst, it's deeply sarcastic, isn't it?

00:58:47.000 Using sarcasm as a form of protest is amazing.

00:58:51.000 Because in England, you think, like, are they going to throw paint over the chairman's car or run onto the pitch?

00:58:57.000 But this is like you're sort of meddling with the rules of reality as a form of protest

00:59:02.000 So i've gone up to this arriving holiday maker with a shirt with 69 written on it

00:59:21.000 Which is as you know a saucy and sarcastic sex number in itself and they're taking the photo with it

00:59:27.000 And like it's funny because the guy's sort of going with it He's holding on to the shirt and I wonder if he's gonna get

00:59:33.000 a few starts for malaga as part of this unfolding prank YOSHI!!!

00:59:39.000 JOKER! 0.76

00:59:47.000 It's weird when people do that because there's a sort of raucousness to it.

00:59:51.000 Yes.

00:59:52.000 Like when you're caught up in someone else's sort of joke.

00:59:54.000 Yeah.

00:59:55.000 You're like, oh no.

00:59:56.000 Not sure really which way it's going to go.

00:59:58.000 Yeah, because that's the thing with the mob.

01:00:00.000 It can go anywhere.

01:00:02.000 Once you have diminished individual culpability, you don't know what's going to happen.

01:00:06.000 No.

01:00:07.000 That's why there's so much continually imposed social control through media and through government, because a mob correctly directed can Unsettle many established systems.

01:00:18.000 Well, we don't know if there are FBI informants inside that.

01:00:22.000 It turns out that most of that Malaga crowd are FBI informants. 0.95

01:00:28.000 Do any of you guys actually support Malaga?

01:00:30.000 No, I'm FBI.

01:00:31.000 What about you?

01:00:32.000 I'm Capitol Hill Police.

01:00:33.000 I'm CIA, sir.

01:00:35.000 We're finding out now that this was mostly peaceful sarcasm.

01:00:39.000 It can get out of control.

01:00:43.000 Some of those Malaga fans did have zip ties on them.

01:00:49.000 There were intercepted messages that there could have been sarcasm, and yet why were the Malaga airport police not informed in advance?

01:00:57.000 This is a false flag event, shall we think.

01:01:00.000 I imagine some football fans might not have any idea what we're referencing there.

01:01:03.000 And then some, uh, like, sort of, MAGA-style, jazz-sith advocates will be confused.

01:01:09.000 In a sense, we've made that for a very particular audience.

01:01:11.000 Yes.

01:01:12.000 That set of references and jokes.

01:01:13.000 I think we are it.

01:01:13.000 It's ours, isn't it?

01:01:14.000 It's ours, yeah.

01:01:15.000 It'll be, like, it'll be interesting to learn that this whole thing's a sort of a simulacrum.

01:01:19.000 Like, we don't put this podcast out.

01:01:19.000 Yeah.

01:01:20.000 No.

01:01:21.000 There's no market for politically radical, fringe football commentary. 1.00

01:01:27.000 And anyone that thought for a moment that there would be is an idiot. 1.00

01:01:30.000 And you are those idiots. 1.00

01:01:33.000 Yeah, that we are in our own version of that sarcastic protest, I think, sometimes. 1.00

01:01:38.000 It's like the Truman Show, or something.

01:01:41.000 First, that's the point of the Truman Show, is that all of our realities could be a kind of construct.

01:01:41.000 Oh, well.

01:01:45.000 And in fact, I think that's what underwrites the concept of horror.

01:01:49.000 The idea that there is this sort of unknown and uncanny quality to reality that you might find out That someone you know well is like, oh my god, what?

01:01:59.000 They're completely different. 0.93

01:01:59.000 Like in Rosemary's Baby or something, it turns out they're having sex with Satan. 0.93

01:02:02.000 Yes, they were. 0.86

01:02:03.000 And that was a bit of a surprise.

01:02:05.000 It was.

01:02:05.000 I trusted you.

01:02:06.000 You mean you've been at it with El Diablo, with the Dark Lord, and now you've got East Nipper.

01:02:12.000 Who's raising him?

01:02:13.000 Not this mug!

01:02:14.000 What about the elderly couple next door as well?

01:02:17.000 They seemed nice.

01:02:18.000 They seemed ever so friendly, but on the quiet, Beelzebub was their true king, wasn't he?

01:02:18.000 They did seem nice.

01:02:23.000 That's what it turned out.

01:02:25.000 Necromancy.

01:02:26.000 Under me own roof, I won't stand for it.

01:02:29.000 I shan't stand for it.

01:02:30.000 I do stand for it.

01:02:31.000 Lionel Messi's got yet another trophy, making him the most decorated footballer in history, even though if you ask my personal view, he's put on a couple of pounds since going to America.

01:02:41.000 He's got Pochettino-stroke-Deserby-style chigaboos on him. 0.99

01:02:46.000 Well, he can afford to, let's be honest.

01:02:48.000 He could put on a lot of weight and still be the best player.

01:02:50.000 Apparently, he's not trying very hard.

01:02:52.000 Well, he's scoring a lot of goals and they've just completely changed the turn of the season around. 0.90

01:02:56.000 It's ridiculous.

01:02:57.000 Seven appearances, one assist, ten goals, strolling about, looking delightful.

01:03:03.000 Popping down the shops, pink shirt, little bit of pink tattoo.

01:03:06.000 Yeah.

01:03:07.000 I spoke to a friend recently who said it's mad up there.

01:03:07.000 Nice.

01:03:09.000 Everyone wants to see him.

01:03:11.000 Or just have a little look at him.

01:03:12.000 Top dollar for tickets, apparently.

01:03:14.000 So have a good look at him.

01:03:15.000 Yep.

01:03:16.000 But then the problem is, is the minute he go, when he go, I go.

01:03:19.000 Because when he's substituted, say, in the 75th minute to have a rest, we've got some footage here of the Miami Sound Machine, I think it's the name of the stadium, just emptying out there.

01:03:19.000 Right.

01:03:31.000 Look at them all just departing.

01:03:32.000 That's what happens when he go, I go.

01:03:34.000 I only come from Messi.

01:03:35.000 So it's weird, isn't it?

01:03:36.000 That's what happens when you have a sort of a... Yeah, you won't get that with Mikel Antonio, even though Mikel Antonio is having a hell of a start to the season.

01:03:43.000 I love him.

01:03:43.000 He's brilliant against Chelsea.

01:03:44.000 I was going to ask you a bit more about that game.

01:03:46.000 What do you want to know?

01:03:47.000 Well, you were confident that they would win beforehand.

01:03:51.000 Not only confident, I predicted it.

01:03:53.000 I know you did.

01:03:54.000 There's confidence, then there's predictions.

01:03:54.000 Yeah, I remember.

01:03:56.000 But you were not feeling confident about West Ham at the start of the season.

01:03:59.000 Has that changed as a result of this game?

01:04:01.000 We've just gotten a new lad out of Stuttgart, who I can imagine might be on the basis of his name.

01:04:06.000 He's either Turkish or Greek or something.

01:04:08.000 He's called Constantine, and then there's a lot of syllables in his surname.

01:04:11.000 First couple or something, like Marcos Attaka, you know.

01:04:14.000 Apparently he's pretty good.

01:04:15.000 He gets the odd goal, and I'm figuring he's a centre-back, based on our initial interest in Harry Maguire, which led, some would say, blessedly to naught.

01:04:23.000 We've got this guy now.

01:04:24.000 He's called Mavrapanos.

01:04:27.000 And he's always ex-Arsenal.

01:04:29.000 When was he at Arsenal?

01:04:30.000 A few years ago, did he start?

01:04:32.000 Five years ago?

01:04:33.000 I don't remember him.

01:04:35.000 Mavrapanos.

01:04:36.000 Mavrapanos.

01:04:37.000 Ex-Arsenal and good.

01:04:38.000 Alright, well that's gonna be okay.

01:04:39.000 James Ward-Prowse though?

01:04:41.000 James Ward-Prowse.

01:04:42.000 I got, like, after they sold, sort of, like, I started to lose faith in James Ward-Prowse as a signing.

01:04:48.000 But then, like, apparently, he's only, sort of, a couple of goals off of David Beckham's free-kick record.

01:04:55.000 And that corner, Amazing corner.

01:04:57.000 That he put on to Goede's Bontz.

01:04:59.000 Certainly did.

01:05:00.000 It was fantastic.

01:05:01.000 And actually West Ham are well set up for set-pieces.

01:05:03.000 Absolutely.

01:05:04.000 That's like a strong team of big lads like Suchek and whilst we might not have the same quality of centre-backs that we had a little while ago when it comes to set-pieces etc, a season and a half ago, still obviously suits our game and has brought about a brilliant and memorable victory there against Chelsea.

01:05:23.000 I think for the amount of goals that it could yield, Ward-Prowse is a great signing.

01:05:27.000 And he'll stay fit, and I think maybe because of how good Rice is, and obviously how much the fans are going to miss him, I think it felt a bit underwhelming getting James Ward-Prowse, but it seems already that it's starting to pay off.

01:05:40.000 I think they look great, West Ham.

01:05:42.000 I thought they played So well.

01:05:44.000 It was a fantastic result for football, personally, I think.

01:05:47.000 I think everyone came into the office on Monday and were like, brilliant, well done West Ham.

01:05:51.000 Also the way they played, they were so disciplined.

01:05:56.000 They really stuck to their plan and they made Chelsea look bang average. 1.00

01:06:01.000 Because the last season, aside from the Conference League win, was a disappointing one, capped with the departure of Rice, plus the broad, lachrymose pessimism of West Ham fans generally, felt like, oh no, this is going to be difficult.

01:06:15.000 And I sort of forgot that there'd been that couple of seasons of discipline, you know, like under Moyes, West Ham playing in a disciplined, hard-to-beat, somewhat defensive, sit-in-deep, counter-attacking way.

01:06:26.000 And yeah, we've still got Bayern, we've still got Antonio, and Paqueto, he ain't going nowhere.

01:06:32.000 I'd like to place a little bet myself that Paquette is going to be standing at West Ham for a little while longer, although he may be a spectator, largely.

01:06:41.000 So yeah, it could be alright.

01:06:42.000 I do feel, in short, I feel a lot more optimistic.

01:06:44.000 It shows you that's part of the caprice that we enjoy about football, isn't it?

01:06:49.000 Suddenly everything changes.

01:06:50.000 You go from thinking, what's the point?

01:06:51.000 Everything's awful, to Everything's fantastic, actually.

01:06:54.000 Everything's going to be fine.

01:06:56.000 Shall we have a look at this?

01:06:58.000 The third-tier trophy in Europe is the Europa Conference League Cup, which West Ham have won.

01:07:04.000 Aston Villa and Hibs will be competing for the qualification for that trophy tonight.

01:07:11.000 Our mate Brian McDermott is upstairs at Hibs at the moment.

01:07:15.000 They've got Villa, so it's going to be a tough tie, and indeed it will be.

01:07:18.000 And it's known many incarnations, the third tier domestic trophy, sometimes the Milk Cup, sometimes the League Cup, once it was the Littlewoods Cup, Coca-Cola Cup for a season, maybe Barclays for a while, before finding the most ridiculous name, the Caribou Cup.

01:07:33.000 But, Caribou, is that a type of a drink?

01:07:35.000 Is it an energy drink, Caribou?

01:07:37.000 I'm not even sure.

01:07:38.000 Who's drinking it?

01:07:39.000 Did they just advertise it somewhere else?

01:07:41.000 I've never seen anyone drink no caribou.

01:07:43.000 Can I offer you a caribou?

01:07:43.000 No.

01:07:44.000 They must do, though.

01:07:45.000 I say that Vile Slops can take the place of caribou in the market. 0.98

01:07:49.000 Vile Slops is our new kombucha, but not only kombucha. 1.00

01:07:51.000 It's got energising qualities.

01:07:54.000 Give you a bloody good stiffy.

01:07:54.000 Why are they?

01:07:56.000 That's the slogan. 0.96

01:07:57.000 Vile Slops, give you a bloody good stiffy. 1.00

01:07:59.000 But is that scientifically underwritten, or? 0.87

01:08:02.000 I'd say so.

01:08:03.000 What do you mean, I'd say so?

01:08:04.000 Well, ask no questions, do you know what I mean?

01:08:07.000 Really?

01:08:08.000 I like the company so much I bought it, in the words of Victor Kyan.

01:08:10.000 Do you know what I mean?

01:08:11.000 Alright.

01:08:12.000 Do you know what I mean?

01:08:13.000 Vial of slops, sweet as swoo.

01:08:13.000 I'd say so.

01:08:16.000 I'm worried about this advertisement slogan.

01:08:19.000 We'll work on it.

01:08:19.000 It's brewing down in the cellar now.

01:08:21.000 Jim there's brewed up a batch.

01:08:23.000 He should be editing, so you've taken another one off our hands, haven't you?

01:08:29.000 I keep stealing your team for my madcap business schemes.

01:08:34.000 Exactly.

01:08:35.000 But the new employees are coming thick and fast, pilgrims and wanderers. 1.00

01:08:39.000 Whoever you are, wherever you are, come one, come all, join the movement, join the revelation, revolution.

01:08:45.000 We've got jobs for the boys, jobs for the gals, jobs for y'all. 1.00

01:08:48.000 Come join us here and the mighty...

01:08:52.000 Anyway, look, the Carabao Cup... I think it's Carabao, isn't it?

01:08:55.000 Carabao, Carabao.

01:08:58.000 The Carabao Cup used to be called the Rumbelows Cup.

01:09:00.000 Yes.

01:09:01.000 That's when people rented TVs.

01:09:02.000 What a crazy day that was.

01:09:04.000 Now you could buy a new TV for next to nothing, and it's obsolete in half an hour, isn't it?

01:09:08.000 That's true, yeah.

01:09:09.000 Do you remember a bit where they sort of curved around it, yeah?

01:09:11.000 Yeah.

01:09:11.000 Like a toenail.

01:09:13.000 Like a toenail telly. 1.00

01:09:13.000 It's stupid. 1.00

01:09:14.000 These new toenail tellies are the future! 1.00

01:09:17.000 Well, not for long, because we can't be fucked with them. 1.00

01:09:19.000 Oh, okay. 1.00

01:09:19.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:09:20.000 No one ever wanted one. 0.99

01:09:21.000 Who wants a TV curling at you like a dirty old toenail? 0.82

01:09:23.000 And what kind of research did they do? 0.94

01:09:25.000 Especially... I've done a lot of experiments with toenails as a younger man.

01:09:28.000 No, I know you did.

01:09:29.000 And with all sorts of disgusting things.

01:09:31.000 If you're criticising my bedside lamp experiment, sir... I certainly am.

01:09:35.000 ...know this.

01:09:36.000 I am a scientist worthy of Wu-An. 0.99

01:09:38.000 Now, firstly... Oh, you're not going to elaborate any further?

01:09:41.000 No, I am.

01:09:42.000 I'm going to throw open the books to analysis.

01:09:44.000 There's Morning Gak. 0.97

01:09:46.000 That's some of the snot you might hack up of a morning.

01:09:48.000 That goes straight on a bulb.

01:09:49.000 Cook that up.

01:09:50.000 Be ready for you when you're back from school.

01:09:52.000 Let's just recap there.

01:09:53.000 On the bulb.

01:09:54.000 On the bulb of the lamp.

01:09:56.000 When it's on.

01:09:57.000 Sizzle it up, distill it down.

01:10:00.000 Sizzle it up, distill it down.

01:10:02.000 Go off to school.

01:10:03.000 Probably get sent home from school.

01:10:05.000 Mucking about.

01:10:05.000 Being weird, not making sense as a person.

01:10:08.000 Offering up toenails to anyone who wants one.

01:10:09.000 You don't make sense!

01:10:10.000 Can I offer you a toenail?

01:10:11.000 It's like the pork scratching.

01:10:13.000 It's a guilt-free snack.

01:10:15.000 You put a toenail in a bowl, it will pork-scratching up lovely. 0.99

01:10:18.000 And you don't have the guilt of thinking a pig has suffered for it.

01:10:21.000 You get your toenails lined up in a bowl, You've got your own scratchings!

01:10:25.000 Why go to the humble pig for scratchings when you've got your own scratchings dangling off the end of your toes?

01:10:31.000 So obviously those were two of the most successful experiments on lightbulbs.

01:10:35.000 That's why Vile Slops is going to be the product. 1.00

01:10:38.000 Logan Paul's Prime.

01:10:39.000 Do not stand a chance against Vile Slops. 0.99

01:10:42.000 The minute I get to involve a lightbulb in this product...

01:10:45.000 I'll cook it up on a lightbulb, see what it makes.

01:10:47.000 Did it happen by accident, these?

01:10:48.000 Or was it a brainchild?

01:10:50.000 Like many ingenious inventions, it was a happy accident, like Louis Pasteur and Mary Pasteur, who accidentally, I believe, came up with the Covid vaccine.

01:10:59.000 What they were doing, they were messing about in their barnyard, and they thought, hang on a minute!

01:11:03.000 That's the same with me.

01:11:05.000 I don't know what led me to line up toenails and snot on a lightbulb.

01:11:10.000 I can only assume it's a kind of mental illness.

01:11:14.000 And I thought it was not going to pay off until eventually, and inevitably, it did.

01:11:20.000 Time now to look at Donald Trump doing the Rumbelows League Cup draw with Saint and Greavesy.

01:11:26.000 If that sentence makes sense to you, I'd like you to write us a letter and send it to 1980 when it was relevant.

01:11:32.000 No, it's 1992.

01:11:33.000 And one of the things I want to invite you to observe is how the old days sort of get older quicker than you think they're gonna.

01:11:40.000 Like you watch something and it's like, Like, you watch it and you feel like it's from 1975.

01:11:43.000 It's like someone in a Ford Cortina smoking, like, a Rothmans fag. 0.94

01:11:48.000 And it's like, that was actually 2002.

01:11:50.000 Yeah.

01:11:52.000 Like, it's weird.

01:11:53.000 Old days get old.

01:11:54.000 Like, the 90s now look like how I thought the 70s looked.

01:11:57.000 I think if you watch something from last year, it looks really old suddenly.

01:12:01.000 Except for me, I don't look old.

01:12:01.000 It's bad.

01:12:02.000 I look about 19 last year. 0.99

01:12:03.000 Every time I look at an old photograph of myself, I'm like, oh, shit, man, I'm aging so fast. 0.97

01:12:07.000 That's what I mean. 0.98

01:12:08.000 It's terrible, isn't it?

01:12:09.000 What are we going to do?

01:12:10.000 Wild slops! 1.00

01:12:12.000 The answer does not involve lightbulbs.

01:12:14.000 Wild slops! 1.00

01:12:15.000 Cook up your cracklings and grin to yourself in the mirror.

01:12:19.000 Let's have a look at Donald Trump, former, yet ex, and maybe future, president of Estados Unidos, with St.

01:12:28.000 and Greavesies, two British former footballers and TV legends.

01:12:32.000 ...a draw for the fifth round of the Rumbler's League Cup, assisting me with... Look at David Dent.

01:12:37.000 He didn't know how to be on telly, and that's only 1992.

01:12:39.000 He's talking like 50s people.

01:12:41.000 Hello.

01:12:42.000 I'm honoured, in the company of Her Majesty the Queen, to be doing the Rumbler's League Cup.

01:12:47.000 Mate! 0.96

01:12:48.000 Loosen up!

01:12:49.000 He's like, if I had to present this show.

01:12:51.000 Hello, welcome to football, it's nice with me.

01:12:55.000 Gareth Roy, a whole city Tiger fan.

01:12:59.000 And Jimmy Greaves will draw the home team.

01:13:02.000 You can see he's up for it.

01:13:03.000 Look at his golden shirt. 0.63

01:13:05.000 He looks like someone smacking you in the mouth, doesn't he?

01:13:05.000 Look at him, he's like, alright mate.

01:13:08.000 He does.

01:13:08.000 Fists!

01:13:10.000 Look, his fist's ready to go.

01:13:11.000 Like, think of how many bets on yellow cards Greavesy was doing.

01:13:14.000 There's no investigation.

01:13:15.000 Now, Greavesy, he's going out there, pissed.

01:13:17.000 Pissed on a blind game.

01:13:19.000 No, he was. 0.65

01:13:19.000 Drunk! 0.65

01:13:20.000 At West Ham, he admitted.

01:13:21.000 He said he'd done training drunk, and he said it didn't make any difference.

01:13:24.000 He said the drop-off from going from Tottenham to West Ham, he said, like, it was chaos. 0.92

01:13:30.000 So if I was just bowling about with fags on and that, not trying their hardest, eating pies on the pitch and everything, he would have been gambling his way, smacking John Lyle in the balls and stuff. 1.00

01:13:40.000 It wouldn't have been John Lyle, Ron Greenwood then.

01:13:41.000 But like, yeah, look at Greavesy, and there's Saint.

01:13:43.000 Saint's job was to... I'm Greavesy, you're Saint.

01:13:47.000 Yes.

01:13:47.000 Like, you have to rein me in.

01:13:50.000 But you need my, sort of, mercurial presence.

01:13:50.000 Right.

01:13:52.000 Absolutely.

01:13:53.000 Oh, no, Greavesy, I don't know about that, son.

01:13:55.000 Oh, I don't know about Vile Sloth.

01:13:57.000 Greavesy, don't keep telling the story about putting fingernails on a lightbulb.

01:14:02.000 That's unusual.

01:14:03.000 I don't know, Saint.

01:14:05.000 It's the way it was in my time.

01:14:06.000 I stuck 50 goals in. 0.98

01:14:08.000 I'd have been a fucking hero in 66, but for that knee injury. 0.99

01:14:11.000 Oh, that's certainly true, Jim. 0.98

01:14:13.000 OK, we've got a competition coming up at the break.

01:14:15.000 I want a toenail! 0.97

01:14:17.000 Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! What a toenail! That's a t-shirt I can get behind.

01:14:25.000 There's a slogan.

01:14:27.000 And Donald Trump will draw the awake. 0.99

01:14:29.000 Donald Trump looks absolutely insane, doesn't he? 0.97

01:14:32.000 Hey, I'm Donald Trump. 0.99

01:14:33.000 Like, his hair even then was extraordinary.

01:14:36.000 Yes.

01:14:37.000 It's one line from one side of his head all the way to the back of his head.

01:14:40.000 It's like one uninterrupted yin-yang. 0.75

01:14:42.000 His head looks like a Chinese symbol of equanimity, doesn't it? 1.00

01:14:45.000 Like the face being like the white part of the yin-yang and his head being the black part, although it's sort of as golden as Jimmy Greaves' shirt. 0.85

01:14:53.000 I told you, didn't I?

01:14:55.000 I told you.

01:14:56.000 I told you how you managed it.

01:14:57.000 Donald, very pleased to meet you, sir.

01:15:00.000 Greavesy loves Donald Trump.

01:15:01.000 Leans right in.

01:15:01.000 Loves him.

01:15:02.000 All right, Donald, go on, on your own.

01:15:04.000 He's all right.

01:15:05.000 He's self-made.

01:15:07.000 Jimmy Greaves was sort of already MAGA before he existed.

01:15:10.000 He could tell Greavesy then, if someone had gone to Greavesy, here, we're going to do a vote, get out of the EU. 0.99

01:15:15.000 You fucking bet your life. 1.00

01:15:16.000 It's bullshit. 1.00

01:15:18.000 This is some pad you've got here, isn't it? 1.00

01:15:20.000 No, it's pretty good.

01:15:21.000 I hope you enjoy it.

01:15:22.000 This is beautiful, I tell you. 1.00

01:15:24.000 I don't listen to the common man, fuck them. 1.00

01:15:26.000 Well done, Don. 1.00

01:15:27.000 So, really, this is some pad you've got here, isn't it?

01:15:30.000 No, it's pretty good. I hope you enjoy it.

01:15:32.000 It's pretty good. It's up Trump Tower, isn't it?

01:15:34.000 I like it.

01:15:35.000 This is beautiful, I tell you.

01:15:36.000 I haven't seen a ballroom like this since I was in Doug Ellis's.

01:15:40.000 That was the great humour of St. Agatha's.

01:15:42.000 Andrews.

01:15:42.000 They were always banging about Doug Ellis.

01:15:45.000 Aston Villa.

01:15:46.000 Never would shut up about Doug.

01:15:47.000 Oh, deadly Doug.

01:15:48.000 They were always making jokes about it.

01:15:49.000 That was probably the beginning.

01:15:51.000 They were the, in a sense, football is nice, stroke, Baddiel and Skinner of their time.

01:15:56.000 They pre-empted lad culture by some 20 years, it appears. 1.00

01:16:01.000 Carry on.

01:16:02.000 Carry on with the draw.

01:16:04.000 OK.

01:16:05.000 I'll draw the home teams.

01:16:06.000 That's right, David, isn't it?

01:16:08.000 Number four.

01:16:09.000 Tottenham Hotspur.

01:16:10.000 Okay.

01:16:13.000 Number seven.

01:16:15.000 We'll play Norwich City.

01:16:17.000 Only two left.

01:16:18.000 Number five.

01:16:20.000 Leeds United.

01:16:21.000 Against number six.

01:16:25.000 We'll play Manchester United.

01:16:26.000 Oh, Donald!

01:16:28.000 You don't realise what you've done there.

01:16:30.000 That's a big game.

01:16:31.000 That's a big game I want to go to.

01:16:33.000 I think we're going to maybe go over there and watch a couple of these games.

01:16:36.000 Take my advice.

01:16:37.000 You can open one in Leeds, but don't go to Manchester.

01:16:41.000 Well, look, we've got something to give to you.

01:16:44.000 This actually is the Sainton Greavesy mug.

01:16:47.000 This is the most prestigious award in football in history.

01:16:52.000 And when you pour your hot Funny old game.

01:16:57.000 Sounds good to me.

01:16:58.000 Which was of course, Greavesy's catchphrase, which should be resurrected.

01:17:02.000 It's a funny old game saying anything.

01:17:03.000 Oh, it certainly is Jim.

01:17:05.000 Okay, we'll be back next week.

01:17:06.000 Giving a mug with funny old game to Donald Trump.

01:17:09.000 Extraordinary.

01:17:11.000 It can only be regarded almost as a sort of situationist art

01:17:15.000 that met that tourist at Malaga airport.

01:17:18.000 The mainstream culture, just a few years later, looks like an extraordinary experiment.

01:17:24.000 That means that we are in a state of hyper-normalization.

01:17:27.000 Culture is moving too quickly even to keep up to itself.

01:17:30.000 Its immediate antecedents all seem absurdist.

01:17:33.000 Everything's sort of a bizarre sort of cyclone of nihilism and meta-modernity.

01:17:42.000 Yes, and we're moving so quickly as well, that's the thing. 0.72

01:17:45.000 It's madness and it's happening at a ridiculous rate.

01:17:48.000 It's a funny old reality, isn't it girl? 0.98

01:17:50.000 Funny old reality.

01:17:51.000 Let's make our predictions then.

01:17:53.000 We've got to wrap up football is nice because we've got to do something else now.

01:17:56.000 Ah, look at this, more or less.

01:17:58.000 We didn't do quite as well as I thought.

01:17:59.000 I predicted... I want to get things 100% correct, but I never.

01:18:02.000 These are our results from last week.

01:18:04.000 I predicted the right results for Spurs-Man U, West Ham-Chelsea and Blackburn-Hull, but not the correct score.

01:18:11.000 Gal, un-customarily for you.

01:18:14.000 In fact, between us, we got everything right.

01:18:16.000 Hmm.

01:18:17.000 Between us, we got everything right.

01:18:18.000 Between us, if he was a betting man, and I'm not saying Paquette is, I'm saying he isn't, he could use our results to guide him to new fortunes.

01:18:26.000 They must just be gambling for fun because they've got enough money, but it's done very little.

01:18:29.000 It's just given me, reduced the deficit by a single point in my what already feels like futile pursuit of your excellence and dominance.

01:18:38.000 Are these the results we're going to predict for next time?

01:18:40.000 Chelsea v Luton. I'd love it if Luton won at the bridge.

01:18:44.000 So I've got to go with... I was thinking actually, I'd spent an angry moment on my own thinking

01:18:48.000 I'm not gonna like predict in the same way that I've been because guess what my prediction

01:18:53.000 technique is? Do you know? No. It's what I want to happen.

01:18:56.000 Okay. It's not what I think will happen.

01:18:58.000 Yeah. It's what I want to happen. Yeah. You use what you think will happen. I...

01:19:04.000 That's what you predict.

01:19:07.000 I think this will happen.

01:19:08.000 With Hull I tend to go against what you want in order to have a win-win in a sense.

01:19:14.000 You try to create a win-win.

01:19:16.000 I'm very happy we beat Buckburn.

01:19:18.000 I predicted that!

01:19:19.000 You certainly did.

01:19:20.000 I told you!

01:19:20.000 Not only did I believe it, I bloody well predicted it, see?

01:19:23.000 Because I wanted it to happen.

01:19:24.000 That's what I'm using.

01:19:25.000 And using the self-same techniques that got me those miserable three points, I predict that Luton will beat Chelsea 1-0.

01:19:33.000 Wow.

01:19:35.000 Yeah, that's what I want to happen.

01:19:37.000 And you'll beat Hull... No, but you'll beat Bristol, excuse me.

01:19:40.000 And that... Oh God, we're going to struggle, aren't we?

01:19:43.000 Down at the Amex against Brighton on Saturday.

01:19:46.000 Is it on the telly?

01:19:47.000 Is that on the telly?

01:19:47.000 It's the late game.

01:19:49.000 And then Newcastle-Liverpool... They have historically very good high-scoring games.

01:19:56.000 Although, why would that matter?

01:19:57.000 Because...

01:19:58.000 You know, there's no actual continuum.

01:20:00.000 No.

01:20:00.000 Everything's changing all the time.

01:20:02.000 Like he says, Brian, who's him in succession?

01:20:08.000 Yeah, because it should be Brian Cox.

01:20:13.000 I met him when I was staying in Primrose Hill.

01:20:15.000 I was jealous.

01:20:17.000 I went over to him.

01:20:18.000 I don't normally bother the famous because I thought I'd go bother him.

01:20:21.000 My wife told me she'd seen him all past the house.

01:20:24.000 She went, Logan Roy's gone by.

01:20:25.000 I ran over.

01:20:26.000 I had my baby in my arms.

01:20:28.000 I ran over at him with the dog as well.

01:20:31.000 He was very impressed with the dog.

01:20:32.000 That's a nice I've got a dog and a nice baby.

01:20:33.000 Yeah, I've got a new baby.

01:20:34.000 I've got a dog.

01:20:35.000 Oh, good.

01:20:36.000 What have you got?

01:20:37.000 Oh, just this hat.

01:20:38.000 He looked exactly like Logan Roy.

01:20:40.000 Wow.

01:20:41.000 I mean, he is him.

01:20:42.000 But he dressed like it as well.

01:20:43.000 Yeah.

01:20:44.000 That's what you want.

01:20:45.000 That's what you want.

01:20:46.000 You don't want there to be a terrible disjunct.

01:20:48.000 No.

01:20:48.000 Oh, no.

01:20:48.000 We were mentioning we're going to be doing another show and we're chatting about something that we've acknowledged even while doing it is a niche interest.

01:20:55.000 Yes.

01:20:56.000 And that we are that niche.

01:20:57.000 Well, why don't we do this later?

01:20:59.000 Or do we want to do it now?

01:21:00.000 Just say, look, alright, I think Liverpool will have an away win of 3-2. 1.00

01:21:05.000 And New York Red Bulls, fuck off! 0.99

01:21:08.000 No, I mean, sorry, New York Red Bulls v Inter Miami. 1.00

01:21:13.000 I've got, I recognise, I can see what's coming out of me, what's being brought out of me by the content.

01:21:17.000 Yeah.

01:21:17.000 If it were not for my deep compassion and love of all the world's people, and this goes beyond demographic information, oh, they're still at the bottom.

01:21:25.000 Wow, it's weird, it doesn't matter, they're all at the... God, look at the MLS!

01:21:29.000 It looks like a weird, almost unrecognisable phenomena, that.

01:21:33.000 But can anyone catch the Cincinnati FCs these days?

01:21:39.000 I reckon, yeah, Inter Miami are going to win, aren't they?

01:21:41.000 They're going to keep winning because they've bought a player who's not passed his prime enough to be irrelevant.

01:21:46.000 They've almost got half the ex-Barcelona team, so you'd think they'd be alright.

01:21:50.000 I don't know, New York City Red Bull, part of a big franchise, they'll be doing, won't they be doing little

01:21:55.000 loan out deals with Salzburg and Leipzig and all them like type of other Red Bull franchises?

01:22:00.000 They will if they've got... Unless I'm the person that's realising that because of the ingenuity that's brought you

01:22:05.000 a human crackling and vile slops. 1.00

01:22:10.000 But it's possible that that will one day become relevant.

01:22:13.000 We'll make those predictions in a minute.

01:22:14.000 I've done mine. 1.00

01:22:15.000 You bastard. 1.00

01:22:16.000 You're what slows it down. 1.00

01:22:18.000 Saint.

01:22:18.000 You spend too much time trying to work it all out correctly.

01:22:21.000 I do, yeah.

01:22:22.000 I like doing it like this.

01:22:24.000 I go, what do I want to happen?

01:22:25.000 It's weird those graphics as well that is used there.

01:22:27.000 Like a sort of Tesco value sort of style graphics is used.

01:22:32.000 Like that white, blue and red.

01:22:34.000 He used to be on our toothpaste.

01:22:36.000 He calls it an argument nowadays because I said I want to get Colgate, but it's all got fluoride in it.

01:22:40.000 None of it's good for you.

01:22:41.000 All right, another conspiracy theory just casually offhand flung into the mix.

01:22:46.000 That's all we've got time for today.

01:22:47.000 Football is nice.

01:22:48.000 We'll be back in September because, oh, we're having a holiday.

01:22:51.000 And of course, you can listen to the whole conversation as a podcast.

01:22:55.000 And why don't you get yourself a bit of merch, which Gareth has had the audacity to criticise, even in the show.

01:23:00.000 Every item you buy supports the Stay Free Foundation.

01:23:02.000 There's a link in the description to get the full range.

01:23:04.000 Football is nice, isn't it Gael?

01:23:06.000 Yes.

01:23:06.000 Funny old gang.

01:23:07.000 Good morning, science!

01:23:15.000 Hey, Dr. John Campbell will be on the show tomorrow talking about Moderna, payouts, myocarditis and why he no longer

01:23:16.000 trusts authority.

01:23:24.000 This is a fantastic conversation.

01:23:26.000 For those of you that love Dr. John, and I know millions of you do, I know our Awakening Wonders over on YouTube love him, and I know our new fantastic free speech community on Rumble adore him too, this is the best Dr. John Campbell conversation you will ever see, or your money back.

01:23:41.000 May not apply, because how would we legislate?

01:23:43.000 It's difficult to do that.

01:23:45.000 So yeah, join us tomorrow for that.

01:23:47.000 And join us soon because we've got fantastic guests coming up on the show.

01:23:50.000 Do you know who we've got?

01:23:50.000 Candice Owens, Jordan Peason's coming back, Elon Musk is coming on the show.

01:23:54.000 We've got Ben Shapiro, Eckhart Tolle, some of the greatest orators and thinkers from across the political and spiritual spectrum will be here because they want to talk to you because they value you.

01:24:06.000 They value this movement.

01:24:08.000 Join us tomorrow, not for more of the same.

01:24:10.000 Ugh, vile slops. 1.00

01:24:11.000 Vile slops are delicious.

01:24:12.000 But for more of the different.

01:24:13.000 Until then, stay free.
