5:55
Delivery thing the self employed. Fund.
5:57
the louis school friends with his dog in
5:59
the passenger seat and he delivers stuff in
6:01
the fucking lovely weather. He's
6:04
living the just rest life.
6:06
I know a few people
6:08
who've moved to Australia. I've got
6:10
a cousin, pretty close to she moved
6:12
there a couple of years ago. She
6:15
married an Australian guy and they've been
6:17
living in London, a couple of kids
6:19
and it's a struggle living in London,
6:22
especially now. And he just
6:24
was like, he was from Australia, he's
6:26
from Melbourne. And he was
6:28
like, let's not say we could be
6:30
doing the same sort of work but
6:32
over there, you know, bigger out from fucking
6:34
swimming pool and our kids could be playing
6:36
on the beach and stuff, you know. So
6:39
they went there.
6:42
Chris Joe Connell's major in a great book
6:45
about his move to, well
6:48
it's a book about various things, sort of mental
6:50
health but really bad. A lot
6:52
of it focuses on his move to Melbourne. I might
6:55
have talked about, like
6:57
one of my favourite bits in the book is
6:59
he's struggling to make friends and
7:01
he's writing about how it's harder for a
7:03
bloke to make friends than a
7:06
woman, right? And he said that like they
7:08
brought their dog over all
7:11
the way over, right, with them. And
7:14
he's what an immediate
7:16
circle of mates just by being down apart
7:19
walking the dog, which is something I've noticed
7:21
since I've had a dog is you do
7:23
get chatting to a lot of people and
7:25
it's like opens up a whole new circle.
7:27
But it felt easier for that. And he
7:29
was like working every day doing his radio
7:31
show and he didn't have, you
7:33
know, he was struggling to have any mates to hang out
7:35
with. And his wife became
7:38
quite sort of overly encouraging and was
7:40
trying to set up play dates for
7:42
him with her new mates husbands and
7:44
it was like pissing him off. But
7:46
he said to her, he did meet one
7:48
guy who was
7:50
an Uber driver. Every time he called no Uber
7:53
it seemed like the same driver came, right?
7:55
So he started having quite good chats with the
7:57
driver like, oh, I just moved in to see
7:59
him. what's good and all of that and
8:01
they got on quite well. And he mentioned, he said, I
8:03
have been getting on quite well with the Uber driver. And
8:06
she went, well, that's nice. Like that,
8:08
well, why don't you? And he went, no, no,
8:10
come on, like, it's just an Uber driver, Jack.
8:12
It's not like, you can't take it beyond the
8:14
Uber. You can't make it a slow, short thing.
8:17
And she went, I don't see why not. She
8:19
was doing all that stuff, you know. And
8:22
then one day they got an Uber,
8:24
and sure enough it was him, matey
8:26
boy. Right. And all the chatting
8:28
went, and I was like, oh, good to see you. And then,
8:30
so I'm going to chat, and he's going, oh, you know, you
8:32
can meet my wife, blah, blah, blah. And
8:35
it's going really well. When they go out in
8:37
the cab, the wife,
8:39
Chris Sherkall's wife is going through, asking,
8:42
asking, doing all that. And he's going,
8:44
shut up. Like, okay, go on,
8:46
ask him. So in the end
8:48
he goes, she pressured him
8:50
into it. And he went, hey,
8:54
mate, and
8:56
say, if you're not
8:58
too busy, you're going to be getting
9:00
a pizza sometime. In
9:05
the moment, he doesn't know why he said,
9:07
get a pizza. Right. And you
9:09
say, we could get pizza or something. Right. And
9:12
he said, that was almost, there was something
9:14
strangely creepy that you can't quite put your
9:16
finger on, saying to another man, let's get
9:19
a pizza sometime. Not a beer,
9:21
not even a coffee. Yeah,
9:23
a pizza. A pizza. A
9:26
whole pizza. Very, very specific. Let's
9:29
get a pizza. And
9:31
the bloke was just weirded out.
9:34
And I think Chris Sherkall handed him a small piece
9:37
of paper with his phone number on it. And
9:39
he never saw him again. Yeah.
9:43
So that's the only problem there. He
9:46
should have booked the Uber. And
9:49
then, if it was going to be that day, when he
9:51
could see who it was going to be, just
9:53
changed the location to just where you were and
9:56
then just sit in the car and just have
9:58
a chat with the meat running. I
10:00
suppose. Do you
10:02
know what I call that? A
10:04
chat prostitute. Yeah,
10:07
exactly. A chat, a chat-stitute. And
10:12
then you try and go to the
10:14
pizza level and he's like, no, no,
10:16
sorry sir, this is purely a business.
10:18
No, that's the full girlfriend experience of
10:20
you on Avopete. It does much more
10:22
money. No, don't do that. And I
10:24
wouldn't tell Uber, who are effectively my
10:26
pimps, we'd have to do that off
10:28
the books. And it would cost you
10:30
a lot of money. $750
10:32
for the minimum. It's
10:35
a bit like, you know, year of
10:37
these pop stars or film stars, don't
10:39
you? But like huge sums will provide
10:42
an escort service to
10:44
a, you know,
10:46
to like perhaps an Arab shape. Yeah.
10:51
Yeah,
10:53
I do, you hear about that. You can hear about that,
10:55
it's like, and that's the same
10:57
with Uber drivers. They will do it, but
10:59
they want it off the books. They don't
11:01
want Uber knowing it's against Uber policy, but
11:03
they will meet with you socially, but you
11:06
have to be like putting huge sums probably
11:08
of cash on the table. If
11:10
you want them to actually leave the car and
11:12
sit with you in a restaurant or a coffee
11:14
shop, like a Costa coffee and
11:16
have a latte with you. It's complicated, isn't it?
11:20
Yeah. You can misread the signals, can't you? Yeah, I think that's what I'm
11:22
doing. I'll show you, Mike,
11:24
the West End podcast that I listened to
11:26
and I'm sort of like, you know, in
11:28
partnership with, they've
11:30
gone out, they've run half way through
11:33
Patreon, like, in fact, more
11:35
than, I was going to say like us, but more than us, they
11:37
do it, it's like 100%
11:39
on Patreon. And they, Westam
11:41
are on tour in Australia at the moment. In
11:43
fact, as we speak, as
11:46
we speak, we are in Perth, Westam
11:48
are playing Tottenham and a tune it
11:50

it has suffered. And
18:34
hoods from. He said
18:36

six I caught on. He has
18:40
stolen the ball from Roy and
18:42

18:45
shot at a school. Facilities
18:47
are gonna. Look.
18:49
At thus. Can. Always despised
18:52
insightful com saw. Yes
18:54
is a fucking mess of the goal to
18:56
be honest. Hunt
18:58
as just completely don't roy in the
19:00
same with rules Don't image is just
19:03
trump the. Boss's
19:08
Boss the noisy made as he said
19:10
he. Could
19:12
nice. I do believe in Hudson recovered
19:14
and managed to get it a shot.
19:17
It's Charlie taught in I was sick.
19:19
I'm going to get says. A.
19:27
Yeah. Neither. Have
19:29
summoned for censor there.
19:31
Are things that have some
19:33
see to school Race. Or with
19:36
I wouldn't buy though. It's like. Sorry.
19:41
Of I buy it. For
19:44
the bomb or Superman.i will say
19:46
this. I'm not saying that you
19:49
know your you see some Breitbart.
19:51
You're the man. Who. Swore no
19:53
one would ever by a local. not as
19:55
he sat and the. And
19:58
is at all. true
20:00
but what does that say about our
20:02
listeners rather than my judgement? well it
20:04
means you don't judge them properly yeah
20:08
I would judge them higher than I should the
20:13
amount of people who turn up at our live
20:15
shows for a local novelty just with massive smiles
20:17
on their faces never
20:20
ceases to amaze me well
20:22
is that the only time they wear them though? I don't
20:24
know, I'd love to think they just walk in the streets of
20:28
their local neighbours it's
20:32
safer than with a local hardman t-shirt, that's just going
20:34
to attract attention yeah it's an
20:36
absolute challenge isn't it? yeah, anyway
20:39
back to this, Melchester 2, Carford 1 sorry
20:43
Roy, says Charlie Carter forget
20:46
it Charlie, there aren't many players in the world who
20:48
could score a goal like that think
20:51
of this Sis, it's your fault for bringing
20:53
him back to life Roy bringing
20:57
him back to life like a revived bee which
21:00
is essentially what happened the video
21:02
he showed him with the introduction of Les Anderson was
21:04
sugar water to the dying bee that
21:06
was Carford that's
21:09
your sugar water, you're a
21:11
fucking dying bee and remember,
21:14
just as I have given you sugar water, I
21:16
can starve your bit too you can take it
21:19
away again I will stamp on
21:21
you you just stung me
21:24
and you know what happens to a bee
21:26
once it has stung someone it
21:29
pulls itself up through its own arsehole
21:31
and dies and
21:34
disappears, literally
21:36
disappears up its own arse his old
21:39
body is vacuumed into its own sphincter
21:43
as the game wore on, Rovers
21:46
are trying everything but Hunt's dominating
21:48
midfield he's like a
21:50
human barrier that's
21:55
a really shit lazy man for isn't
21:57
it they Mustn't be able

23:48
Roy race was seen but
23:50
now. the flu shots
23:52
cause go it so we're dead
23:54
shut off insults i saw programs
23:57
and are often and for upset
24:01
focus on the action and
24:04
Karl is going through again and he scores puts
24:07
it through two Melchester defenders pass
24:10
Charlie Carter into the bottom corner
24:12
yes Hunter two Melchester two Andy
24:14
you know how you don't like people talking
24:17
when you're a gig right yeah
24:19
you come how do
24:22
you feel about people talking all the way through the football that's
24:27
alright I'm not listening to the football I'm
24:29
not sure yeah listen to
24:31
their conversation mate well
24:33
yeah it's annoying
24:39
I often just FYI you wait even
24:41
this won't surprise you but I often
24:43
talk all the way through the
24:45
game do you know what's that right yeah
24:48
non-stop well but with you though
24:50
Sam I'm sure it's all interesting to be fair it's largely
24:53
because I'm watching football's quite boring I
24:56
need to get bored and I need
24:59
to talk to people to sort of live and bring
25:01
that you know hmm well
25:04
there is that thing when I was a kid and
25:07
I used to watch football a match of the day pretty
25:09
much because there was never any like football on it was
25:11
great and we started going to watch Sunderland and
25:14
you're nine or whatever you just think fuck
25:16
now this goes on a bit don't it oh it
25:18
feels so long when you first go feels so long
25:21
yeah and you're just like oh when can
25:23
I have some sweets can I get
25:25
some can I get some food pastels at
25:27
half time or something like that yeah you've
25:29
got no you've got no concept that 90
25:31
minutes is as long as it is especially
25:33
if your team's not very good or they're
25:36
losing you know what though I think sometimes
25:38
you go to a game
25:40
in the games incredible I remember going to
25:42
a game I think it was 98 part
25:44
96 when Stan played it was
25:46
someone's one of my mates birthday and it was sort of
25:48
a thing where I had this little group
25:50
of mates when I was at primary school sportage I
25:52
stam and if it was
25:54
anyone's birthday the dad would take us
25:56
right it'd be like a twin obviously
26:01
not my dad, the other dads. And
26:03
it was someone's dad. Oh,
26:06
to some. Very sad. And he might
26:09
have taken us to Tottenham, it would
26:11
have been a disaster. But we went
26:16
to West Ham Manu and Manu,
26:19
maybe it was the tail end of
26:21
the Atkinson area, we were just talking
26:24
about, but it was a very good
26:26
Manchester United team with Brian Robson and
26:28
Norman White side, etc. Paul McGrath, you
26:30
know, big fucking
26:33
serious side. And we
26:35
were one nil down to Brian Robson and we
26:37
came back and we even two run. And I
26:39
kind of remember that as being the first time
26:41
I've been to West Ham lots of times before,
26:43
but it was a bit like how you just
26:45
described, I was like, it's not that bad, it's
26:48
actually the day, you have to watch the boring
26:50
things as well. Right. And you're kind of like,
26:52
you're there and you like being there for other
26:54
reasons. Like you like being amongst the
26:56
atmosphere and all the rest of it. And
26:59
this was the first time I was at a 90
27:01
minute game to be one nil down against the big
27:03
size and then come back and
27:05
get into a very tight wheel, just
27:07
like fucking spellbound from beginning to end.
27:10
Once you get that feeling, going
27:12
to football becomes a bit like, I
27:15
suppose our fishermen think about fishing. Like
27:18
you go there and you're always made for
27:20
big catch. And you might go for a
27:22
whole year and you don't get that big
27:25
catch. But it's always going back because you're
27:27
chasing that drill. And that's what being a
27:29
season ticket holder your club is like, because
27:31
you go and week after week after week,
27:34
you might have to watch really depressing shit.
27:36
Even sometimes you win and it's still fucking
27:38
boring. But then once in
27:40
a while, you're always waiting for that big special one.
27:43
And then once in a while, you're lucky once or
27:45
twice a season, you get it. And it's all
27:47
worthwhile, isn't it? That's
27:49
exactly it. That's why we keep going because we
27:51
said we're chasing that hit. Yeah, you're chasing the
27:53
hit. It's just that, that, that, that hit of
27:56
winning a match. And if you're in a relegation bowl and
27:59
you win a game. it makes it even more sweeter.
28:01
Yeah. You probably even haven't played well then
28:03
you've just ground out a one-nil or whatever.
28:05
Yeah, relegation battles are awesome. We're
28:08
going to be in another one
28:10
next season I'm really looking forward to it.
28:13
Yeah, get stuck in. Well of course when Moyse was at
28:15
Sunderland he said it was a relegation battle in the second
28:17
week of the season. Yeah. Which was a bit,
28:20
a bit presumptive. Moyse will
28:22
be, I think it's on the Westland
28:24
Book of the estate, Moyse will be
28:26
out of West Ham by November, latest.
28:29
You heard that here first, put your money on it
28:31
now, it's a fucking bank. I don't
28:34
have any inside knowledge, this is
28:36
just my own. No. Analysis. Oh
28:40
brilliant. I've done some
28:42
analysis about football. Samnalysis.
28:45
A analysis time for Samnalysis. When
28:47
a new season keeps up I
28:50
want a regular item from Samnalysis
28:53
where I just do, I'll keep it short
28:55
after a ten second bit
28:57
of analysis about something that's
29:00
happening in the football world,
29:02
okay. Maybe just record it separately and put
29:04
it on the IFF. Yeah, I'll write it up maybe.
29:06
Do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going
29:08
to write out and I'm going to have one of
29:10
those things where there's a picture of a football pitch
29:12
with dots and lines on it. I'm
29:15
going to do that Andy. Dots
29:17
and lines, dots and lines, dots and
29:19
lines on my football pitch. Can we
29:25
get through this Melchester thing? Yeah. We're not even off with, do
29:27
we? Yeah. Sorry,
29:30
yeah, Hunt's Code. Hunt's Code,
29:33
it's 2-2. But
29:35
one of the Melchester players had no intention of being overshadowed,
29:37
can you guess who it is? Yes, it's Roy Rist. If
29:42
the hunter could do it, so can the king. So
29:45
yeah, Roy's just took the ball. Give
29:47
us the winner, Roy. There, he's
29:50
got the ball and he just fucking blasts it
29:52
out of the goal, but it's saved by the Carford
29:54
keeper. Oh, what a save.
29:56
That's one of the ball boys.
29:58
I think it's a ball boy. It's
30:02
just on his own behind the goal. Best
30:04
of the tournament, hard luck, racey.
30:08
And then the keeper throws it out, up into the other half. Watch
30:11
it, Melchester. That's a great throw to
30:13
Karl Hunt. Take him out, Vick
30:15
Guthrie. But
30:17
Guthrie doesn't because Hunt does
30:19
a delightful little flick. It
30:23
bounces just at one that was thought into
30:25
the delightful flick to the right-hand side. And
30:27
then Vick Guthrie goes, oops! He's
30:32
dropped a teacup or something. A
30:37
delicate, masterful kick has
30:39
left the Melchester Superbrat floundering.
30:43
And Carford score. Fucking
30:45
hell. It's there. 3-2. That
30:48
flash of skill from the Hunter has
30:51
given us the tournament trophy. They
30:53
yell. Then they yell. It
30:56
has. Fucking hell. Melchester have lost.
31:00
Which doesn't always happen. Well, apart from
31:02
that time, Melchester did get relegated. They did get
31:04
relegated, didn't they? And
31:08
the fans are shouting, Carford!
31:10
Carford! Hooray! And
31:14
Roy thinks
31:17
to himself, ah well, you can't win them
31:19
all. Fuck it. Yeah.
31:23
I don't even care. I'm not
31:25
bothered. I'll tell
31:27
you what I'll do. I wasn't going to buy Carford. I'm going
31:30
to buy him now out of space. I'm
31:32
going to buy him and then I'm going
31:34
to fucking venture to come and break his
31:36
spirit. Break his will to fucking live. I'm
31:42
going to buy him and then I'm going to
31:44
deprive him of his sugar water. A
31:49
few days later, some newspaper headlines.
31:51
Rovers Hunt Down Carl and
31:54
the Hunter signed for Melchester. So
31:57
just as we thought, he's becoming
31:59
a Melchester. sister player over
32:03
to the fourth page here
32:06
we have the
32:09
face of Alec Emo the Rovers caretaker
32:12
chairman since he was
32:14
delighted he says to Roy Hunt
32:19
will really boost our European
32:21
Cup winners cup chances right
32:23
what a season it's gonna
32:25
be fuck off fuck
32:27
off Alec you fucking spam-headed freak
32:30
look at the state of you
32:32
you look like a fucking tinner
32:34
spam that's been empty down with
32:36
a fucking syringe on
32:39
it next question you
32:41
silly bitch yeah I call my
32:44
own fucking acting chairman a silly
32:46
bitch it is a
32:48
man and you believe it that's something I've
32:50
been developing for a while I'm testing it
32:52
out on him and if it works I'm
32:55
gonna roll it out I'm
32:57
widening the insult bandwidth I
33:00
like to test them on internal
33:03
figures of a so-called authority triggers
33:06
them in the way that I'm
33:09
hoping I start to use it Poland
33:12
sometimes teammates sometimes family
33:14
members so
33:18
Roy is yeah a more said what season is
33:20
gonna be Roy says off the field as well
33:22
as on it if I'm any judge and
33:25
he says when we announce the name of our new
33:27
chairman it's gonna be headline news a
33:30
more says I still can't believe it's true
33:32
Roy you did a fantastic job he persuaded
33:35
him to join the club close
33:38
up with Roy's face I wanted someone
33:40
with a stature and charisma that a club
33:42
like Melchester deserves a very big
33:44
name in the world of sport whoa someone
33:47
not bigger than
33:49
me yeah someone
33:51
who will probably only put in two days
33:53
a week and not overshadow a we're you
33:55
gonna say it should be hell Well,
34:00
we'll find out, won't we? I reckon
34:02
it's Jimmy Hill. That's who I
34:05
would have got. Feels like it could be.
34:07
Bob Wilson. Oh no, Bob Wilson. Thanks for that, actually, isn't
34:09
he? A year or two. Weird.
34:13
The following day, has Rovers changed for
34:15
a pre-season friendly match against close rivals
34:17
Melbrough of Blackie Grey?
34:19
Roy, this new chairman of ours! Why
34:21
are we going to meet him? This
34:25
is a nice, nice, noisy desk!
34:30
I hope he's dead sick, to be honest. I
34:33
like him when they stick up at me, I don't need
34:36
to think as much. I
34:39
told him to make the old decisions. Roy
34:42
says, so do I, in fact, I've arranged for him
34:44
to put in an appearance today. And as
34:47
they run out for this friendly against Melbrough, as
34:49
a helicopter in the sky, Noel
34:52
Baxter goes, what the? What's
34:55
that? It's not a plane, not a phone.
34:57
It's something else I've never seen before. Oh,
35:00
is there a war? It's
35:03
like the beginning of Mac, when they do
35:05
the song about suicide. I'm
35:08
scared now. Weird
35:11
moments in pop history, when that song, Suicide
35:13
is Painless, got to number one in
35:15
Britain in 1980. So weird. Mad.
35:19
Oh, do you remember that? It used to scare
35:21
me, actually, Mashed, because it would come on late,
35:23
or late for me. What's the time? It
35:26
used to be 9pm BBC2. But
35:28
then, later in the 80s, when they were showing
35:30
reruns of it all the time, did it come
35:32
on later like it? No, it was
35:34
still 9. It might be 9.30, but it was over. Well,
35:36
I always, as a small child, remember it being late. I
35:38
mean, it probably once when I was small, that would have
35:40
been up. It would have been at some point in the
35:42
year. It would have been my bedtime, my first bedtime. Sam's
35:46
bedtime. Bedtime! Time
35:49
for my bed. Where's
35:51
my sippy cup? It's
35:54
my bedtime. Well,
35:58
we'll do that. We've got some more. single
36:01
issue. Yeah,
36:04
single issue. Single issue.
36:06
Yeah. Yeah, so Ben
36:08
Clunge was talking about.
36:11
Anyway, it would be really scary because
36:13
it was a really funny show. But
36:16
the opening title was that helicopter landing
36:18
and it even take away
36:20
the song about suicide. It
36:22
was like visually it
36:24
was sort of there was something
36:26
spooky, something creepy about it. This
36:29
fucking helicopter landing people rushing around in
36:31
the state of panic in a war
36:33
torn environment. Yeah. And I'll be like,
36:35
Oh, what is being rushed into the
36:38
what the fuck? And then like the
36:40
opening light calls really
36:44
harmful. And I'm like there as
36:46
a little kid in the gym
36:48
jams with Mississippi top ready for
36:51
bed. And I'm like, Oh, what's
36:53
this man? Oh, what's happening?
36:55
And then they go, she goes, don't worry.
36:57
It's actually a comedy. And I go, are
36:59
you sure? And then the lyrics kick in.
37:02
Suicide is pain is good.
37:05
I don't think the lyrics
37:07
were in the introduction. What
37:09
is it? Suicide is killing
37:11
yourself. Yeah, but don't
37:14
worry. But I don't think suicide
37:16
is painless was in that was in the lyrics.
37:19
Well, it was only when the when it was
37:21
released as a single. You heard that. Okay. Yeah.
37:24
But obviously it will have been in the in the
37:27
public consciousness because of that. Did
37:30
the version they used on
37:32
the TV show at the beginning or the
37:34
end, did they do a concession
37:36
to the fact that it was a
37:39
TV comedy by rounding up the quite
37:41
mournful almost like Paul Simon type of
37:43
composition by going I
37:51
think they did. I think they did didn't they?
38:00
I've got it on now there, there's no looks but yeah. So
38:03
when that's over. The
38:06
British version of it that was shown, they'd removed the
38:08
laugh track, which is like canned laughter. Which
38:10
when you see repeats of it now, that is
38:12
annoying. But it's like,
38:15
this is a comedy but there's no one telling
38:17
you when to laugh. Which of course, there's loads
38:19
of that goes on now, comedy without laugh tracks.
38:21
Yeah. Hey, anyway, can we just please, please
38:23
get to the end of this moment. Why don't we have
38:25
a laugh track on this podcast? Well
38:29
because it would be constant pretty much. Yeah, I'll
38:31
be right. Everything we said. Right,
38:33
assets put in afterwards. Yeah.
38:37
So this helicopter's come down, Jimmy Slitter's
38:39
an helicopter coming down into the stadium.
38:42
The stadium public address system blared. And
38:44
here he comes, the new chairman of Melchester
38:46
Rovers. Any minute now he'll be
38:49
stepping out of that helicopter. Fan
38:51
shouts. Now that's what I call an entrance. And
38:57
there we just see some, a
38:59
pair of blue trousers with
39:03
legs in them. And
39:05
a shoe coming out of the helicopter. We can't
39:07
see who it is. Doesn't he have
39:09
nicely tailored trousers? Yes. I
39:12
can't believe it. They hang on the shoe
39:14
just so. Look
39:18
who it is. Shouts no Baxter. This
39:21
says Duncan Mackay. Well be the
39:24
football sensation of the year. Yap
39:26
you see. Ha ha
39:29
ha. And
39:33
it says don't miss seeing who it is in next
39:36
week's instalment. So
39:38
a big cliffhanger
39:40
for us. Unless,
39:43
unless Sam, he turned to the page which
39:46
has got Roy's message on it. What
39:48
do Roy fucking reveals who it is? The
39:52
whole point of this strip is
39:54
to encourage people to buy it next
39:56
week. That's the whole thing. That's
39:59
the everything. everything's been geared towards it.
40:01
And then, whoever heard
40:03
of someone doing a spoiler on
40:06
their own content? I
40:10
saw his thoughts. It would be like George Lucas
40:12
coming out and going, oh,
40:14
so George, Star
40:17
Wars, A New Hope was really great.
40:19
What can we expect in the next film? Well,
40:23
first thing to say is, turns
40:26
out Luke's starting to start to vader.
40:30
Next question. Next question. I
40:32
mean, you'll have to see how he
40:34
actually pans out in the film, but
40:36
it's gonna be really- There's been enough
40:38
happens before that. That's near the end.
40:40
That's near the end, but it's really
40:42
good. Yeah. I'll give you one little,
40:44
like a little teaser, right? What
40:47
happens is they have a fight with their
40:49
laser swords. Yeah. And
40:51
he pops, that made a pop-shoots fucking
40:53
handoff, right? Pops his hands clean off.
40:56
And then he tells him straight to his
40:58
face, I'm your fucking dad,
41:01
your cup. And then
41:03
after that, some other things happen, then it's
41:05
over. So yeah, you've
41:07
got that to look forward to. Next question.
41:10
Out in June. Yeah. Come along, have a look. It's
41:12
gonna be really good. Well,
41:17
you know, because of continuity and
41:19
realistically, we are looking at this issue of
41:21
Roy the Rovers. I guess, duty
41:24
bound to read out what is- Yeah.
41:27
This message and reveal it. So, hi
41:29
Paul, only a couple of weeks now at the
41:31
start of the new season. And as usual at
41:34
this time, I'm all keyed up, wondering
41:36
what the next nine months have in store
41:38
for Manchester Rovers. I've
41:41
had a meeting with the storyline team, I believe
41:43
it's gonna be good. He doesn't say
41:45
that. We certainly
41:47
start appreciation off with a bang, with the
41:49
announcement that my good friend, Jeff
41:51
Boycott, has become the new club driver. I
41:53
tell you what, it sort of
41:55
makes perfect sense that
41:59
there'd be no- makes though doesn't it?
42:01
I do not have many
42:04
friends because I find people
42:07
are not in inculverances in
42:09
my life and my projects and strategies.
42:12
However, there are some individuals who I
42:15
do regard as closer than their associates.
42:17
One of them, in fact, the only
42:19
person I can truly call a friend
42:22
is of course, Sir Jeffrey
42:24
Boycott. And I have noticed I have
42:26
been there myself. He has not yet
42:28
been knighted, but I consider that a
42:31
disgrace and that's why I have chosen
42:33
to call him Sir anyway. So
42:35
yeah, what a bonus
42:37
for the Rovers he says. Let's hope we
42:39
can make his appointment worthwhile by winning at
42:41
least one trophy for him. Fucking
42:44
hell. Jeff Boycott.
42:47
So there we go. As
42:49
if one arrogant bore at Melchister
42:51
wasn't enough. Brought in
42:53
another one. And we'll see
42:55
the big reveal next week. I wonder if that's
42:57
going to be a clash. You'd imagine they would
42:59
be. I don't know. I don't
43:02
know. We'll see, won't we? Alright, that's
43:04
it. Thanks.
