<v Speaker 2>And I'm Stephen and this is a podcast all about

3
00:00:07.559 --> 00:00:10.320
<v Speaker 2>the weird and wonderful world of the dark comedy anthology

4
00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:12.080
<v Speaker 2>series Inside number nine.

5
00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:14.960
<v Speaker 1>On each episode, we'll be diving into another one of

6
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:18.760
<v Speaker 1>Steve Pemberton and Reese Sheresmith's twisted tales, putting it under

7
00:00:18.760 --> 00:00:22.000
<v Speaker 1>a lens and examining it within an inch of its life.

10
00:00:33.039 --> 00:00:34.000
<v Speaker 2>back to a new series.

11
00:00:34.439 --> 00:00:40.359
<v Speaker 1>Indeed, how are you? Yeah, I'm all right, replies Christmas. Yeah,

12
00:00:40.520 --> 00:00:41.840
<v Speaker 1>it's a thing, isn't it that we do?

13
00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:46.119
<v Speaker 2>I saw some comedians say that it should be like

14
00:00:46.200 --> 00:00:48.960
<v Speaker 2>the Olympics and every four years and ideally hosted a

15
00:00:49.000 --> 00:00:53.479
<v Speaker 2>different country. I completely agree.

16
00:00:53.240 --> 00:00:55.039
<v Speaker 1>With Yeah, I could get on board with that.

17
00:00:55.119 --> 00:00:58.719
<v Speaker 2>Yeah it was yours, Okay, Yeah it was fine. Yeah

18
00:00:58.719 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 2>it was good.

19
00:00:59.439 --> 00:01:02.439
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Of course when people hear this at Christmas will

20
00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:06.640
<v Speaker 1>be a long distant memory. January lasts about six months.

21
00:01:07.280 --> 00:01:10.439
<v Speaker 1>But yeah, we hope you've missed us, dear listener, and

22
00:01:10.480 --> 00:01:14.519
<v Speaker 1>we're back. We are series five, Series five. This is

23
00:01:14.599 --> 00:01:16.920
<v Speaker 1>the halfway point, really, the mid series.

24
00:01:17.319 --> 00:01:21.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, next episode is exactly halfway when we consider that

25
00:01:21.239 --> 00:01:22.079
<v Speaker 2>Stage Fright was two.

26
00:01:22.519 --> 00:01:24.640
<v Speaker 1>So yeah, okay, you've done the maths.

27
00:01:24.760 --> 00:01:25.319
<v Speaker 2>I think I have.

28
00:01:25.439 --> 00:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, should we reveal our hair from Stage Fright?

29
00:01:29.519 --> 00:01:29.719
<v Speaker 2>Oh?

30
00:01:29.840 --> 00:01:31.840
<v Speaker 1>Yes, because we weren't planning necessarily for it to be

31
00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:33.640
<v Speaker 1>split into two, and then we decided to.

32
00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:34.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

33
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.280
<v Speaker 1>So there's one hair that was somewhere in either part

34
00:01:37.319 --> 00:01:37.840
<v Speaker 1>one or part.

35
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Two, indeed, and it was kidnapp It was so the

36
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.319
<v Speaker 2>concept of this section is they have to kidnap someone

37
00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:50.599
<v Speaker 2>and bring them to this safe house.

38
00:01:52.799 --> 00:01:56.280
<v Speaker 1>Quite an easy one to get in there. Yeah, in fact,

39
00:01:56.400 --> 00:01:59.079
<v Speaker 1>so easy that I wouldn't be surprised if not many

40
00:01:59.079 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>people got that.

41
00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:02.200
<v Speaker 2>Too obvious.

42
00:02:02.560 --> 00:02:04.000
<v Speaker 1>I would you remember I was saying, you know, do

43
00:02:04.040 --> 00:02:05.959
<v Speaker 1>we need do we need to say kid slash nap?

44
00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:06.560
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

45
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:08.560
<v Speaker 1>How you're going to pronounce it because otherwise, you know,

46
00:02:10.240 --> 00:02:11.159
<v Speaker 1>but yeah, we've.

47
00:02:11.039 --> 00:02:13.960
<v Speaker 2>Already got difficult enough ones to squeeze in complicate the

48
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:14.479
<v Speaker 2>easy ones.

49
00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. AnyWho, So that was that. That was Stage Fright.

50
00:02:19.360 --> 00:02:20.960
<v Speaker 1>It was fun doing that for un covering that.

51
00:02:21.120 --> 00:02:23.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I really enjoyed it. I hope you did two listeners.

52
00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.360
<v Speaker 1>But we're back onto the TV show now. The cannon for.

53
00:02:28.520 --> 00:02:32.800
<v Speaker 2>Series five, episode one. The referees a wanka he is

54
00:02:33.319 --> 00:02:37.479
<v Speaker 2>he is? So I'll give this summary on the wiki.

55
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:41.599
<v Speaker 2>The beautiful Game, the crush clash between United and Rovers

56
00:02:41.639 --> 00:02:44.199
<v Speaker 2>in the last match of the season, all safely in

57
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:48.319
<v Speaker 2>the care of the four match officials, a tailor, promotion, relegation, corruption,

58
00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:56.479
<v Speaker 2>and so so much more. Wow, football, eh? Are you

59
00:02:56.479 --> 00:02:57.159
<v Speaker 2>a football fan?

60
00:02:58.120 --> 00:03:04.599
<v Speaker 1>Have a guess? Yeah? I love it. I love it

61
00:03:04.879 --> 00:03:07.439
<v Speaker 1>running around from one end of a pitch to another. Yeah,

62
00:03:07.479 --> 00:03:10.000
<v Speaker 1>it's funny kicking a ball around. Yeah.

63
00:03:10.039 --> 00:03:11.800
<v Speaker 2>I was going to pretend that I'm a massive football fan,

64
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:13.360
<v Speaker 2>but I don't think I could even hold the joke up.

65
00:03:13.439 --> 00:03:15.120
<v Speaker 1>No, I don't think so the sentence.

66
00:03:15.599 --> 00:03:20.840
<v Speaker 2>No, my parents are and my grandparents are, and it's yeah,

67
00:03:21.080 --> 00:03:22.960
<v Speaker 2>I feel like the odd one out when they're talking.

68
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:25.680
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, my mum is a massive Arsenal fan.

69
00:03:25.800 --> 00:03:27.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh really, So I do get.

70
00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:29.479
<v Speaker 1>The whole like because Arsenal have a big rivalry with

71
00:03:29.479 --> 00:03:31.879
<v Speaker 1>Tottenham Hotspur, so I get the you know, the whole

72
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:36.879
<v Speaker 1>rivalry thing. Yep, people take it so seriously, really really do. Yeah.

73
00:03:37.000 --> 00:03:38.879
<v Speaker 2>The thing that always surprises me about football people is

74
00:03:38.919 --> 00:03:41.919
<v Speaker 2>how much they can talk about it. Like my mum

75
00:03:41.960 --> 00:03:43.639
<v Speaker 2>will be watching some game or other and it won't

76
00:03:43.680 --> 00:03:45.599
<v Speaker 2>be starting for another half hour, but there'll already be

77
00:03:45.639 --> 00:03:48.759
<v Speaker 2>people on talking about it. Oh yeah, well nothing's happened,

78
00:03:49.159 --> 00:03:51.199
<v Speaker 2>but they'll still manage to talk for an hour, half

79
00:03:51.199 --> 00:03:55.719
<v Speaker 2>an hour whatever, yes, and say nothing but just keep going.

80
00:03:55.879 --> 00:03:57.879
<v Speaker 2>And I'm like, how are you doing this?

81
00:03:58.439 --> 00:04:02.039
<v Speaker 1>I know? But having said that, we do talk about

82
00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:04.960
<v Speaker 1>a half hour of TV for an hour each week,

83
00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:09.520
<v Speaker 1>so you know, yeah, I know what you mean. But yeah,

84
00:04:09.599 --> 00:04:11.319
<v Speaker 1>I suppose if you're in, if you're into it and

85
00:04:11.319 --> 00:04:14.159
<v Speaker 1>you get the nuance, then there's stuff to talk about.

86
00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:16.319
<v Speaker 1>But for those like us, like it just goes right

87
00:04:16.360 --> 00:04:16.920
<v Speaker 1>over my head.

88
00:04:17.560 --> 00:04:19.759
<v Speaker 2>I guess it's their memory as well that amazes me.

89
00:04:19.879 --> 00:04:21.560
<v Speaker 2>So you like being a pub quiz and obviously I

90
00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:23.519
<v Speaker 2>hate the football round. Yeah, but there'll be a question

91
00:04:23.600 --> 00:04:26.560
<v Speaker 2>on like I don't know who won the nineteen seventy

92
00:04:26.639 --> 00:04:28.759
<v Speaker 2>six such and such Cup, and the guy will be

93
00:04:28.800 --> 00:04:30.800
<v Speaker 2>there going, oh it was this team, it was three

94
00:04:30.800 --> 00:04:34.319
<v Speaker 2>to one, it was rainy. Yeah, they'll know everything.

95
00:04:34.439 --> 00:04:37.800
<v Speaker 1>It's like, how yeah, but I get I don't get

96
00:04:37.839 --> 00:04:40.079
<v Speaker 1>it for myself, but I do. I do understand it

97
00:04:40.120 --> 00:04:43.079
<v Speaker 1>because I'd be the same with doctor who, like I

98
00:04:43.079 --> 00:04:45.439
<v Speaker 1>guess you know you're not Gonnam know. Maybe people do

99
00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.639
<v Speaker 1>go back and rewatch old matches. I don't know. Oh

100
00:04:47.720 --> 00:04:51.600
<v Speaker 1>yeah yeah, if you you know, I have that kind

101
00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:53.720
<v Speaker 1>of level of fandom about Doctor Who. I can understand

102
00:04:53.720 --> 00:04:56.920
<v Speaker 1>someone having that kind of obsession with football, but it

103
00:04:56.959 --> 00:04:58.319
<v Speaker 1>does seem so bizarre, do isn't it?

104
00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:01.560
<v Speaker 2>But when you consider that there's a game, well many

105
00:05:01.600 --> 00:05:05.079
<v Speaker 2>games every week, and they seem to remember every single

106
00:05:05.160 --> 00:05:07.519
<v Speaker 2>one of them, stretching back to when they were like six,

107
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:10.120
<v Speaker 2>there's a lot of Doctor Who. But I don't think

108
00:05:10.120 --> 00:05:11.800
<v Speaker 2>there's not that many true.

109
00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, just trying to watch this and trying to

110
00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:18.519
<v Speaker 1>make notes about it and stuff like, I just kept

111
00:05:18.519 --> 00:05:23.199
<v Speaker 1>feeling like the the it crowd thing. I know, Yeah,

112
00:05:23.240 --> 00:05:26.480
<v Speaker 1>Grahamlin hands a dick, But yeah, I do love that

113
00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:28.160
<v Speaker 1>that bit the whole you know, did you see that

114
00:05:28.199 --> 00:05:29.600
<v Speaker 1>ludicrous slid last night?

115
00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:32.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah? The problem with whatever? They always walk it in.

116
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:35.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, yeah, that's it. And there's a bit where they

117
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.879
<v Speaker 1>actually go to a match and Moss is just like, oh,

118
00:05:37.959 --> 00:05:45.680
<v Speaker 1>look he's kicked the ball. What an interesting development. That's me.

119
00:05:45.759 --> 00:05:49.439
<v Speaker 1>When I'm sitting with my mum and she's watching football, I.

120
00:05:49.399 --> 00:05:51.800
<v Speaker 2>Feel like we should apologize to any actual football fans out.

121
00:05:51.959 --> 00:05:55.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, we do apologize. Yeah. I was wondering this, what

122
00:05:55.480 --> 00:05:58.519
<v Speaker 1>is the what is the crossover between Inside Number nine

123
00:05:58.560 --> 00:06:00.160
<v Speaker 1>fans and football fans? I can't remember, and.

124
00:06:00.199 --> 00:06:02.680
<v Speaker 2>It's huge, but I can't imagine it's huge, But.

125
00:06:02.600 --> 00:06:07.160
<v Speaker 1>You never know. No, Obviously, Steve is a big football fan,

126
00:06:07.680 --> 00:06:10.879
<v Speaker 1>but reason isn't. No, so he I feel like he

127
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.879
<v Speaker 1>kind of represents us in like someone who's completely outside

128
00:06:13.879 --> 00:06:17.759
<v Speaker 1>of that world, and yet he still enjoyed making it

129
00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:20.079
<v Speaker 1>and all that, you know, for the drama of it

130
00:06:20.120 --> 00:06:23.839
<v Speaker 1>and the story. I can sort of understand that, but

131
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.279
<v Speaker 1>I still find it hard to get enthusiastic about it.

132
00:06:28.360 --> 00:06:31.439
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, this is weird for me. I was fully going

133
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.160
<v Speaker 2>into this expecting to slate this episode. I've only ever

134
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:38.680
<v Speaker 2>seen it once. When it aired, I remember being very disappointed,

135
00:06:38.959 --> 00:06:41.639
<v Speaker 2>probably just because it was football, But I've gone back

136
00:06:41.639 --> 00:06:44.240
<v Speaker 2>and rewatched it twice to day. I actually quite enjoyed it.

137
00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:46.560
<v Speaker 2>M M. I thought it was all right. I don't

138
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:49.160
<v Speaker 2>think it's amazing, no, but I did actually quite enjoy it,

139
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:50.399
<v Speaker 2>which I wasn't expecting to.

140
00:06:50.800 --> 00:06:53.319
<v Speaker 1>I agree, really, I like the comedy of it, and

141
00:06:53.399 --> 00:06:55.360
<v Speaker 1>I like some of the drama.

142
00:06:55.079 --> 00:06:57.079
<v Speaker 2>Of it quite high stakes, and.

143
00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think on a first watch, like you say,

144
00:06:59.839 --> 00:07:02.000
<v Speaker 1>like on a first watch, I was so sort of

145
00:07:01.879 --> 00:07:05.639
<v Speaker 1>the my new shy of the football and stuff went

146
00:07:05.680 --> 00:07:08.439
<v Speaker 1>way over my head and so I didn't really understand

147
00:07:08.519 --> 00:07:13.000
<v Speaker 1>the plot and the resolution. Right, Whereas having read up

148
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:14.600
<v Speaker 1>on it a bit and watched it again and sort

149
00:07:14.600 --> 00:07:18.000
<v Speaker 1>of tried to concentrate a bit more, I understand what's

150
00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:20.759
<v Speaker 1>going on. But it's Yeah, it's not bad.

151
00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.639
<v Speaker 2>No, I don't think it's bad at all. Yeah, it's

152
00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.720
<v Speaker 2>not my favorite, but I was fully expecting to hate

153
00:07:26.759 --> 00:07:29.040
<v Speaker 2>it a lot more from what I remembered from years ago.

154
00:07:29.399 --> 00:07:34.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. So it's taking place around a football match between

155
00:07:34.560 --> 00:07:39.000
<v Speaker 1>teams called United and Rovers. Yeah, very conveniently vague.

156
00:07:39.160 --> 00:07:41.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah yeah. I even looked on his little badge because

157
00:07:41.720 --> 00:07:44.279
<v Speaker 2>you can see the captain like you get a close

158
00:07:44.360 --> 00:07:47.920
<v Speaker 2>put his badge it just as Rovers AFC. Yeah. I'm

159
00:07:47.959 --> 00:07:49.279
<v Speaker 2>not even going to say the name of the town

160
00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:49.839
<v Speaker 2>or city.

161
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.800
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Yeah, I think that's quite wise really, not to

162
00:07:52.879 --> 00:07:55.439
<v Speaker 1>get politics involved for football.

163
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.279
<v Speaker 2>It could be anyone. Yeah, speaking of which, I don't

164
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:00.519
<v Speaker 2>know if you noticed this when you watch player, did

165
00:08:00.519 --> 00:08:02.240
<v Speaker 2>you get a little content warning thing pop up at

166
00:08:02.240 --> 00:08:03.800
<v Speaker 2>the start, well, not contact.

167
00:08:03.800 --> 00:08:04.959
<v Speaker 1>Like to say it had been edited.

168
00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.639
<v Speaker 2>Yes, yeah, I don't know what's been changed.

169
00:08:07.720 --> 00:08:11.800
<v Speaker 1>So I researched this. Oh, okay, apparently they name dropped

170
00:08:11.839 --> 00:08:16.399
<v Speaker 1>a real referee called Barry Crop okay in the original episode,

171
00:08:16.920 --> 00:08:20.040
<v Speaker 1>and then this Barry Crop objected to being name dropped,

172
00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.000
<v Speaker 1>so they redubbed it to Gary Robb right, And apparently

173
00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:26.399
<v Speaker 1>it's a line that Ree says. But having watched it

174
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:28.040
<v Speaker 1>a couple of times, I couldn't find that.

175
00:08:28.319 --> 00:08:30.079
<v Speaker 2>Oh is he the one that put up the wrong

176
00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:33.159
<v Speaker 2>amount of extra time? Oh? It might be, yes, and

177
00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:34.840
<v Speaker 2>they had to play for fifty six minutes or something

178
00:08:34.879 --> 00:08:38.000
<v Speaker 2>extra time might be because I did google that as

179
00:08:38.039 --> 00:08:40.960
<v Speaker 2>it happened, wondering if that was a real thing. Oh yeah,

180
00:08:41.000 --> 00:08:43.200
<v Speaker 2>and it came up with nothing, so I guessed it

181
00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:45.279
<v Speaker 2>was made up. Yeah, but yeah, if they've changed the name,

182
00:08:45.279 --> 00:08:47.480
<v Speaker 2>maybe it did happen, yeah, or something similar.

183
00:08:48.600 --> 00:08:51.960
<v Speaker 1>But yeah. So we've got this three act structure pre match,

184
00:08:52.360 --> 00:08:54.480
<v Speaker 1>halftime and then post match, which is quite good again,

185
00:08:54.639 --> 00:08:55.919
<v Speaker 1>very theatrical.

186
00:08:56.399 --> 00:08:58.799
<v Speaker 2>And it gives you a window of what's happened, and

187
00:08:58.799 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 2>like you've got a piece together what's going on in

188
00:09:00.440 --> 00:09:00.960
<v Speaker 2>these gaps.

189
00:09:01.440 --> 00:09:04.399
<v Speaker 1>It's quite cool. Yeah, it's like those kind of stories

190
00:09:04.399 --> 00:09:08.320
<v Speaker 1>that take place in the wings of what's going on. Yeah,

191
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.960
<v Speaker 1>like the main action is happening outside, but we're just

192
00:09:10.960 --> 00:09:13.080
<v Speaker 1>seeing the little snapshots sort of on the sidelines.

193
00:09:13.320 --> 00:09:16.519
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, but like the understudy, I guess, yeah, very much

194
00:09:16.559 --> 00:09:19.840
<v Speaker 2>like that. Actually, yeah, just a different type of changing room.

195
00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.720
<v Speaker 2>M So we've got David Morrissey in this episode, yes,

196
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.360
<v Speaker 2>referee martin perfectly cast hmmm, oh yeah, it looks like

197
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:29.399
<v Speaker 2>such a football person.

198
00:09:29.600 --> 00:09:31.960
<v Speaker 1>He does. He's so good and he's so like good

199
00:09:31.960 --> 00:09:34.840
<v Speaker 1>for this like stick up your ass kind of well,

200
00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:39.679
<v Speaker 1>you know, you know, he's so by the book, he's

201
00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.240
<v Speaker 1>so you know, his face is so surly.

202
00:09:42.559 --> 00:09:45.720
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Yeah, he's really good and how fastidious he is

203
00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.679
<v Speaker 2>about everything and there with his little watchers and making

204
00:09:48.679 --> 00:09:49.720
<v Speaker 2>sure everyone's the second.

205
00:09:50.799 --> 00:09:53.519
<v Speaker 1>But you can also believe him as a dedicated football

206
00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:54.080
<v Speaker 1>fan as well.

207
00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:56.879
<v Speaker 2>It must be tricky in these things, like when you've

208
00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:59.320
<v Speaker 2>got a referee, Like, if you're a referee, you're going

209
00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.080
<v Speaker 2>to be a football fan, and therefore you're going to

210
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.720
<v Speaker 2>have a favorite team and teams you don't like, and

211
00:10:03.840 --> 00:10:04.919
<v Speaker 2>keeping that all separate.

212
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:06.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, definitely.

213
00:10:06.679 --> 00:10:08.600
<v Speaker 2>Obviously you're never going to referee for a team that you.

214
00:10:08.519 --> 00:10:11.120
<v Speaker 1>Support, no, but but as we can see in this episode,

215
00:10:11.159 --> 00:10:13.120
<v Speaker 1>it all has domino effects.

216
00:10:12.600 --> 00:10:15.600
<v Speaker 2>Still can effect them. Yeah. Like I remember one of

217
00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:19.159
<v Speaker 2>my secondary school Pea teachers left to become a referee

218
00:10:19.519 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 2>in the Premiership and it was a year of a

219
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.440
<v Speaker 2>World Cup and he was all qualifiers or whatever, I

220
00:10:25.440 --> 00:10:27.559
<v Speaker 2>don't know, and he was one of the few people

221
00:10:27.559 --> 00:10:29.600
<v Speaker 2>that was hoping that England would get kicked out because

222
00:10:29.639 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 2>then it might give him a chance to referee in

223
00:10:31.120 --> 00:10:34.000
<v Speaker 2>a final. But I think that had been he wouldn't

224
00:10:34.000 --> 00:10:34.480
<v Speaker 2>have been allowed to.

225
00:10:36.600 --> 00:10:39.480
<v Speaker 1>Quite important that this is his last game before retirement.

226
00:10:40.200 --> 00:10:42.120
<v Speaker 1>It's a big deal for him.

227
00:10:41.799 --> 00:10:43.960
<v Speaker 2>And also looking like they should be retiring. Poor old

228
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:47.639
<v Speaker 2>Reese looks old this week. Geez the makeup to you

229
00:10:47.679 --> 00:10:48.519
<v Speaker 2>have gone to Town?

230
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, is that a wig? Must be?

231
00:10:52.600 --> 00:10:53.360
<v Speaker 2>I hope so?

232
00:10:55.039 --> 00:10:56.399
<v Speaker 1>Or I'm like, what have they done to his hair?

233
00:10:56.440 --> 00:11:01.039
<v Speaker 1>Because yeah, yeah, I love Brendan is the best character

234
00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:01.240
<v Speaker 1>in it.

235
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:03.279
<v Speaker 2>I think it is, even if he's I feel like

236
00:11:03.320 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 2>he's doing his witch Hinder voice again.

237
00:11:05.519 --> 00:11:10.720
<v Speaker 1>Slightly, yes, but he's just such a little nerd like

238
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:15.559
<v Speaker 1>I love him in the sam seial.

239
00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.360
<v Speaker 2>Which which I looked up is the inter Milan Ac

240
00:11:19.519 --> 00:11:20.080
<v Speaker 2>Milan Home.

241
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:21.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I was going to say, I had to google.

242
00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:25.600
<v Speaker 1>I can't expect me to know what that is. I

243
00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.799
<v Speaker 1>like how it's it's revealed later on after he's been

244
00:11:27.799 --> 00:11:29.840
<v Speaker 1>banging on about his career there that he was a

245
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.679
<v Speaker 1>backup referee for one match of like kids playing.

246
00:11:32.799 --> 00:11:36.120
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, it's probably a Tuesday night no one went to.

247
00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:38.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and you didn't even get on the pitch. He

248
00:11:38.600 --> 00:11:41.039
<v Speaker 1>was just there, you know. And yeah, it's it's his

249
00:11:41.320 --> 00:11:44.440
<v Speaker 1>limelight of his life. Like but I like that when

250
00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:46.720
<v Speaker 1>he gets called out about that and he's just response

251
00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:52.799
<v Speaker 1>is just envy. It's nothing, but it's own art. He's

252
00:11:52.840 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 1>a great character, funny little man. And he looks so small,

253
00:11:57.720 --> 00:12:00.720
<v Speaker 1>doesn't he compared to all the others in this I

254
00:12:00.759 --> 00:12:02.039
<v Speaker 1>didn't think Reese was that small.

255
00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:06.240
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, really mousey and yeah, but yeah, it's probably one

256
00:12:06.240 --> 00:12:08.639
<v Speaker 2>of the smallest sets they have as well, m m, well,

257
00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.039
<v Speaker 2>other than maybe Lucky Chet I suppose. Yeah, but yeah,

258
00:12:11.080 --> 00:12:13.720
<v Speaker 2>they're all just packed in this one little, tiny changing room.

259
00:12:13.799 --> 00:12:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. They did a great job with the set. Apparently

260
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:19.360
<v Speaker 1>they did build it. It's not an actual changing room.

261
00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:21.639
<v Speaker 2>Yeah. Well, they went around trying to get changing rooms,

262
00:12:21.759 --> 00:12:24.000
<v Speaker 2>but they were all too tiny and it just wouldn't work,

263
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:26.480
<v Speaker 2>so they ended up having to build one. Yeah, the

264
00:12:26.519 --> 00:12:29.799
<v Speaker 2>set dress is like, how grimy it looks. They've done

265
00:12:29.840 --> 00:12:32.399
<v Speaker 2>a fantastic job with it. And I was watching at

266
00:12:32.399 --> 00:12:34.559
<v Speaker 2>the end when they're sat in front of recent Fever

267
00:12:34.720 --> 00:12:36.879
<v Speaker 2>talking and in front of tiles and they're like, there's

268
00:12:36.919 --> 00:12:39.320
<v Speaker 2>mold in the monks, all the grout lines, like they've

269
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:41.200
<v Speaker 2>really spent some time. Yeah.

270
00:12:42.080 --> 00:12:43.639
<v Speaker 1>Also, we haven't talked about Mitch.

271
00:12:44.879 --> 00:12:46.519
<v Speaker 2>Mitch the indeterminate animal.

272
00:12:47.759 --> 00:12:50.559
<v Speaker 1>What would you say is well, he's obviously erodent of

273
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:51.080
<v Speaker 1>some sort.

274
00:12:51.519 --> 00:12:54.039
<v Speaker 2>I think, Yeah, I assumed a gopher.

275
00:12:54.279 --> 00:12:57.159
<v Speaker 1>Yes, although what that's got to do with no idea.

276
00:12:57.240 --> 00:12:58.919
<v Speaker 1>Gophers aren't even English, are they.

277
00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:01.080
<v Speaker 2>No, that's what he looks like to me.

278
00:13:01.480 --> 00:13:04.080
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I mean I probably would have said a beaver,

279
00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:05.320
<v Speaker 1>but he doesn't have a big tail.

280
00:13:05.600 --> 00:13:07.159
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that would be the next one.

281
00:13:07.360 --> 00:13:10.799
<v Speaker 1>Who knows. But yeah, we've got Steve Spears playing Mitch.

282
00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:14.000
<v Speaker 1>I feel like he's he's the same and everything.

283
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:17.120
<v Speaker 2>He's just angry, shouty man, isn't he.

284
00:13:17.200 --> 00:13:19.120
<v Speaker 1>Yes, the gruff Welsh accent.

285
00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:21.240
<v Speaker 2>We haven't pointed out the fact that, other than the

286
00:13:21.320 --> 00:13:23.440
<v Speaker 2>team captain, everyone's been in doctor him. This week.

287
00:13:23.559 --> 00:13:25.480
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, is there a single person apart

288
00:13:25.519 --> 00:13:26.039
<v Speaker 1>from him.

289
00:13:25.960 --> 00:13:26.480
<v Speaker 2>From the captain?

290
00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:27.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah? Is there?

291
00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>No? Obviously, David Morrissey has as Jackson Lake. I can't

292
00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:33.600
<v Speaker 2>what bears his name was, but he was one of

293
00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:34.559
<v Speaker 2>the Sillotheen, wasn't he?

294
00:13:34.559 --> 00:13:37.000
<v Speaker 1>He was the Yea, the policeman, Missus.

295
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.440
<v Speaker 2>Tyler obviously, reason Steve.

296
00:13:40.519 --> 00:13:42.679
<v Speaker 1>And Smile, wasn't he?

297
00:13:42.799 --> 00:13:43.000
<v Speaker 2>Yes?

298
00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:46.399
<v Speaker 1>I mean you've just brought up Ralph Little, so should

299
00:13:46.440 --> 00:13:47.759
<v Speaker 1>we open up that can of worms?

300
00:13:48.039 --> 00:13:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah?

301
00:13:48.519 --> 00:13:50.120
<v Speaker 1>I say can of worms, just because I had to

302
00:13:50.159 --> 00:13:52.240
<v Speaker 1>really try not to make all my notes about Ralph

303
00:13:52.279 --> 00:13:53.039
<v Speaker 1>Little in a towel.

304
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:56.799
<v Speaker 2>I don't know that might be on your note list.

305
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:00.120
<v Speaker 1>You can't blame me, No.

306
00:13:59.720 --> 00:14:03.960
<v Speaker 2>No, here's good. You can see the Obviously he's wanting

307
00:14:04.000 --> 00:14:06.440
<v Speaker 2>to milk this game for everything it's worth, try and get,

308
00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:08.960
<v Speaker 2>isn't it? Get into sky and all thoughts.

309
00:14:09.080 --> 00:14:13.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, he's very ambitious, clearly, but not in an underhand

310
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:14.440
<v Speaker 1>way like some of them.

311
00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:17.039
<v Speaker 2>No. Yeah, I think the thing I didn't really remember

312
00:14:17.080 --> 00:14:20.399
<v Speaker 2>about this episode as much was how funny it is. Yeah,

313
00:14:20.600 --> 00:14:24.200
<v Speaker 2>because if it had just been a straight football thing

314
00:14:24.679 --> 00:14:26.960
<v Speaker 2>and it wasn't a comedy as well, I think it

315
00:14:26.960 --> 00:14:28.320
<v Speaker 2>would have been a lot less interesting.

316
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.879
<v Speaker 1>Oh from my point of view, Yeah, this.

317
00:14:30.799 --> 00:14:32.320
<v Speaker 2>Is one where they really have to lean into the comedy,

318
00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:33.200
<v Speaker 2>I think to make it work.

319
00:14:34.159 --> 00:14:36.600
<v Speaker 1>From what I've heard, there's so many references that if

320
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:38.120
<v Speaker 1>you really know football.

321
00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:39.799
<v Speaker 2>You would get probably lands quite well.

322
00:14:39.879 --> 00:14:42.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, lines and things that apparently are famous things that

323
00:14:42.759 --> 00:14:44.159
<v Speaker 1>have been said by football people.

324
00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:45.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

325
00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:49.960
<v Speaker 1>So the stakes If United win, apparently they'll get one

326
00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:52.159
<v Speaker 1>hundred and fifty million pounds because they'll get promoted to

327
00:14:52.200 --> 00:14:54.759
<v Speaker 1>the Premier League or whatever it is. Yeah, and if

328
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.759
<v Speaker 1>Rovers win then they will avoid falling down into oblivion

329
00:14:58.840 --> 00:15:02.039
<v Speaker 1>and relegation. Yeah, so it's important for both of them.

330
00:15:02.240 --> 00:15:05.440
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, and it is important, like genuinely will be game

331
00:15:05.519 --> 00:15:08.919
<v Speaker 2>changing for these teams. My mum's Middlesbrough fan and they're

332
00:15:08.960 --> 00:15:12.240
<v Speaker 2>currently in this same position. If they don't fuck up terribly,

333
00:15:12.279 --> 00:15:15.240
<v Speaker 2>they'll get promoted, hopefully to the Premiership. So she's currently

334
00:15:15.320 --> 00:15:18.919
<v Speaker 2>very excited. But I fully expect it what happened, because

335
00:15:18.960 --> 00:15:20.639
<v Speaker 2>it never does and they always just give up in

336
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:23.399
<v Speaker 2>the last couple of months. But yeah, these people will

337
00:15:23.440 --> 00:15:24.720
<v Speaker 2>get very obsessed about this kind of thing.

338
00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:28.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, there's a whole thing of Oh, Brendan's been in

339
00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.279
<v Speaker 1>the toilet and made a smell, yes, which I hate

340
00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.840
<v Speaker 1>toilet humor, but I did really like the joke when

341
00:15:35.879 --> 00:15:39.200
<v Speaker 1>he's getting changed and he says, are those city pants, Brendon? Yeah,

342
00:15:39.840 --> 00:15:43.799
<v Speaker 1>no clean up this morning? That did amuse me.

343
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there are some great little bits of wordplay.

344
00:15:47.919 --> 00:15:48.399
<v Speaker 1>Yeah.

345
00:15:48.600 --> 00:15:51.919
<v Speaker 2>Also, so it's really it's really important for like little

346
00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:55.279
<v Speaker 2>seeds of what happens later on. It's establishing that they're

347
00:15:55.279 --> 00:15:56.559
<v Speaker 2>both city fans exactly.

348
00:15:56.639 --> 00:16:00.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, and we've also got Oggie comes in, who's just

349
00:16:01.039 --> 00:16:04.159
<v Speaker 1>he just seems very lax about everything, completely opposite to Martin.

350
00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:07.879
<v Speaker 2>As long as he's got access to any machine, he's happy. Yeah,

351
00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:10.720
<v Speaker 2>he's into his betting and presumably has been told off

352
00:16:10.720 --> 00:16:13.519
<v Speaker 2>for this before Martin gets very angry and shouty and

353
00:16:13.519 --> 00:16:17.519
<v Speaker 2>sends them all out effectively as the captain turns.

354
00:16:17.360 --> 00:16:21.559
<v Speaker 1>Up mm hmm, Calvin Cook, yes, and.

355
00:16:21.639 --> 00:16:25.440
<v Speaker 2>We get possibly the most lackluster kiss I've ever seen

356
00:16:25.600 --> 00:16:30.919
<v Speaker 2>on TV. Yeah, like they could have at least tried

357
00:16:31.639 --> 00:16:32.960
<v Speaker 2>to make this look believable.

358
00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:39.720
<v Speaker 1>They tried, they tried straight men, Yeah, presumably. Yeah, I'm

359
00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:42.879
<v Speaker 1>assuming it's intentional, but when you consider that Calvin is

360
00:16:42.960 --> 00:16:46.320
<v Speaker 1>number nine and you know, inside number nine.

361
00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:50.080
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, here is the nine we are inside this.

362
00:16:50.039 --> 00:16:55.200
<v Speaker 1>Week, Well someone's inside him anyway. Well but yeah, so

363
00:16:55.200 --> 00:16:59.399
<v Speaker 1>it turns out that they've been having a secret love affair. Indeed,

364
00:17:00.080 --> 00:17:02.360
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if it's love from Calvin's point of view,

365
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.240
<v Speaker 1>or if it's more that's what Martin is pushing on him.

366
00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:09.680
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, obviously we don't get much given about this relationship,

367
00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.440
<v Speaker 2>but I get the impression that Calvin's just doing it

368
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:14.519
<v Speaker 2>hoping that ill, you know, if he gets in good

369
00:17:14.519 --> 00:17:16.920
<v Speaker 2>with the referee, exactly kind of thing.

370
00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:19.759
<v Speaker 1>He says, I love you, and then they get interrupted

371
00:17:19.839 --> 00:17:23.319
<v Speaker 1>before there can be any further response. But Calvin does

372
00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.440
<v Speaker 1>look a bit shocked and like a bit like he

373
00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:27.279
<v Speaker 1>doesn't really know. Wasn't expecting that.

374
00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:30.759
<v Speaker 2>One doesn't want to reply, Yeah exactly. Yeah, yeah, this

375
00:17:30.799 --> 00:17:32.799
<v Speaker 2>is the only bit really remembered about the plot from

376
00:17:32.839 --> 00:17:34.960
<v Speaker 2>the first watch, and I didn't remember it happening so

377
00:17:35.000 --> 00:17:36.839
<v Speaker 2>early into the episode. I remember it being more of

378
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.559
<v Speaker 2>a twist at the end. So it's quite cool, and

379
00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:43.039
<v Speaker 2>they do have twists early on. Yeah, yeah, hangover the

380
00:17:43.079 --> 00:17:44.599
<v Speaker 2>plot for the rest of the episode.

381
00:17:45.039 --> 00:17:46.480
<v Speaker 1>And you know there's something more coming.

382
00:17:46.519 --> 00:17:49.680
<v Speaker 2>They must be m and obviously it is a big deal.

383
00:17:49.680 --> 00:17:54.599
<v Speaker 2>In football, there's like no out players. Was just in

384
00:17:54.680 --> 00:17:57.519
<v Speaker 2>fashion who came out, but that was quite a while ago,

385
00:17:57.720 --> 00:18:01.039
<v Speaker 2>like nineteen ninety, and that did not go well, and like,

386
00:18:01.279 --> 00:18:04.720
<v Speaker 2>I think it pretty much ruined his life. I remember,

387
00:18:04.880 --> 00:18:07.039
<v Speaker 2>I think he committed suicide over it. So it's a

388
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:09.400
<v Speaker 2>big deal. I mean, I know it might not seem

389
00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:13.200
<v Speaker 2>it towards as modern day like liberal people, but yeah,

390
00:18:13.240 --> 00:18:14.319
<v Speaker 2>the football world is not that.

391
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.400
<v Speaker 1>No, it is full of a lot of that kind

392
00:18:17.480 --> 00:18:22.079
<v Speaker 1>of very backward, hyper masculine, toxic masculinity.

393
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:24.599
<v Speaker 2>I think I feel very safe at a football game.

394
00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:26.240
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, not at all.

395
00:18:27.519 --> 00:18:30.519
<v Speaker 2>It's all very angry, yelly, screamy people.

396
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:34.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I like this. It's incredible. It's incredibly crazy that

397
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.400
<v Speaker 1>we are in the twenty twenties and there hasn't there

398
00:18:37.519 --> 00:18:40.680
<v Speaker 1>There aren't, you know, openly gay Premier league players.

399
00:18:41.039 --> 00:18:45.359
<v Speaker 2>Like every profession is at least someone, but yeah, apparently

400
00:18:45.359 --> 00:18:45.920
<v Speaker 2>not football.

401
00:18:46.039 --> 00:18:48.680
<v Speaker 1>Well in the men's team anyway, Oh sorry, Yes, women's

402
00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:51.039
<v Speaker 1>team is full of them, but.

403
00:18:51.039 --> 00:18:55.000
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, yeah, but yeah, and in the men's Premier league.

404
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.359
<v Speaker 1>But again that is always all the patriarch, Isn't it

405
00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.839
<v Speaker 1>all that bullshit? Anyway? So we skip to half time

406
00:19:03.119 --> 00:19:05.839
<v Speaker 1>and it's one nil to rovers it is. I can't

407
00:19:05.839 --> 00:19:06.799
<v Speaker 1>believe I'm saying this.

408
00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:18.720
<v Speaker 2>I don't give a shit. Got the lingo right, so

409
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.680
<v Speaker 2>that's all it counts. Yeah, yeah, it's one nil and

410
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:24.400
<v Speaker 2>stuff's clearly been happening.

411
00:19:25.759 --> 00:19:26.680
<v Speaker 1>People are not happy.

412
00:19:27.039 --> 00:19:29.920
<v Speaker 2>No, there's a lot of chanting going on. Goals happened

413
00:19:29.960 --> 00:19:33.680
<v Speaker 2>because of potentially a referee mistake. Yeah, no one. Initially

414
00:19:33.680 --> 00:19:38.000
<v Speaker 2>no one knows it was. But then Ralph's character Phil

415
00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:41.799
<v Speaker 2>comes in having spoken to the mascot and found out

416
00:19:41.799 --> 00:19:45.160
<v Speaker 2>that yes, it was miles off. It shouldn't have been

417
00:19:45.160 --> 00:19:47.960
<v Speaker 2>a throw in. So they debated on the podcast about

418
00:19:47.960 --> 00:19:50.559
<v Speaker 2>how VR would have impacted this. Yeah, I don't. I

419
00:19:50.640 --> 00:19:53.559
<v Speaker 2>never understand how what the debate about var is like,

420
00:19:53.759 --> 00:19:55.759
<v Speaker 2>I know it's now a thing, but it was debated

421
00:19:55.799 --> 00:19:58.039
<v Speaker 2>for a long time whether it should be allowed. It's like,

422
00:19:58.400 --> 00:20:00.920
<v Speaker 2>you're going to base your decision pure on what you

423
00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:02.680
<v Speaker 2>saw in a fraction of a second that you might

424
00:20:02.720 --> 00:20:05.839
<v Speaker 2>not be certain about, and not to look at the

425
00:20:06.160 --> 00:20:09.960
<v Speaker 2>HD film of it. It just made no sense to me.

426
00:20:10.079 --> 00:20:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Classic example of oh, we've done it this way for years,

427
00:20:12.480 --> 00:20:14.519
<v Speaker 1>so this is the way we're going to keep doing it. Yeah,

428
00:20:14.839 --> 00:20:16.680
<v Speaker 1>even though that way would be would make so much

429
00:20:16.680 --> 00:20:19.400
<v Speaker 1>more sense. But yeah, But the other thing that's weird

430
00:20:19.480 --> 00:20:21.279
<v Speaker 1>is like is you know, once they've once they've made

431
00:20:21.279 --> 00:20:24.160
<v Speaker 1>the decision and they've awarded it, they then obviously you know,

432
00:20:24.160 --> 00:20:25.720
<v Speaker 1>they're not supposed to be looking at the footage, but

433
00:20:25.759 --> 00:20:27.920
<v Speaker 1>if they get proof that actually it was wrong, they

434
00:20:27.960 --> 00:20:32.680
<v Speaker 1>can't change it. It's done now, like happened. Yeah, so weird,

435
00:20:34.799 --> 00:20:37.200
<v Speaker 1>all for a fucking game of football.

436
00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:42.920
<v Speaker 2>Sorry, I've talked about football for this long.

437
00:20:42.759 --> 00:20:45.839
<v Speaker 1>And one Yeah, they are one football fanst.

438
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:48.039
<v Speaker 2>Sorry if we lose you, is that you can skip

439
00:20:48.079 --> 00:20:52.559
<v Speaker 2>this episode next week more regular broadcasting.

440
00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:56.160
<v Speaker 1>Yes, And so he awarded it, I think on Ogie's

441
00:20:56.200 --> 00:20:59.039
<v Speaker 1>advice because he was the one that supposedly saw it.

442
00:20:59.440 --> 00:21:01.880
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it'd be on his side of his side of

443
00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.559
<v Speaker 2>the pitch, so Phil will be on one side of

444
00:21:04.599 --> 00:21:06.319
<v Speaker 2>the pitch or you would have been on the other side.

445
00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:08.319
<v Speaker 2>How it would have worked?

446
00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:09.240
<v Speaker 1>Thank you?

447
00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:11.119
<v Speaker 2>Just trying to flex that I know anything.

448
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:17.240
<v Speaker 1>Wow, I'm impressed. And what's the pitch? Is it that

449
00:21:17.279 --> 00:21:17.960
<v Speaker 1>big green thing?

450
00:21:18.079 --> 00:21:22.559
<v Speaker 2>It's the big green thing. Yeah, but yeah, if the

451
00:21:22.599 --> 00:21:25.000
<v Speaker 2>ball goes out of the big green thing, then they

452
00:21:25.039 --> 00:21:28.079
<v Speaker 2>throw it back in again from the other team.

453
00:21:27.680 --> 00:21:29.160
<v Speaker 1>And now explain the off side rule.

454
00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.119
<v Speaker 2>Well, you've got to have at least a player between

455
00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.039
<v Speaker 2>the play, you actually know, Yeah, between the last kicker

456
00:21:35.079 --> 00:21:38.279
<v Speaker 2>and the goal, so you can't just run out ahead

457
00:21:38.319 --> 00:21:38.880
<v Speaker 2>and yeah.

458
00:21:38.880 --> 00:21:40.799
<v Speaker 1>Something one of those things where my mum used to

459
00:21:40.799 --> 00:21:42.799
<v Speaker 1>watch football and I used to be there. I used

460
00:21:42.839 --> 00:21:44.519
<v Speaker 1>to ask her to explain it and she always say, oh,

461
00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:46.480
<v Speaker 1>you wouldn't understand, and not bother because she was too

462
00:21:46.519 --> 00:21:47.400
<v Speaker 1>busy watching the game.

463
00:21:48.680 --> 00:21:50.839
<v Speaker 2>It's it's it's all to do with the being some

464
00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:54.440
<v Speaker 2>player between the person with the ball and the goalkeeper.

465
00:21:54.759 --> 00:21:57.400
<v Speaker 1>Okay, I don't actually care, it was just the I

466
00:21:57.400 --> 00:21:57.759
<v Speaker 1>didn't think.

467
00:22:00.680 --> 00:22:02.240
<v Speaker 2>I've had to listen to this for years from my

468
00:22:02.319 --> 00:22:05.279
<v Speaker 2>mom's staff, making other people though, Yeah.

469
00:22:05.480 --> 00:22:07.279
<v Speaker 1>You've just explained it, and it's already gone out of

470
00:22:07.359 --> 00:22:07.640
<v Speaker 1>my head.

471
00:22:08.839 --> 00:22:10.240
<v Speaker 2>That's where it should be.

472
00:22:12.839 --> 00:22:14.960
<v Speaker 1>But yes, so we get this whole thing of in

473
00:22:15.000 --> 00:22:20.160
<v Speaker 1>play betting and that oggie is being bribed to make

474
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:21.759
<v Speaker 1>this happen at a certain minute.

475
00:22:22.240 --> 00:22:26.160
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I can understand certain things that you could fix

476
00:22:26.319 --> 00:22:29.160
<v Speaker 2>like that, but a throw in at that what if

477
00:22:29.160 --> 00:22:30.559
<v Speaker 2>the ball were just in the middle of the pitch,

478
00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:32.160
<v Speaker 2>like there's nothing to do, then.

479
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:34.279
<v Speaker 1>Well, yeah, you can't really guarantee it can.

480
00:22:34.160 --> 00:22:36.319
<v Speaker 2>You know, it could be somewhere near an edge.

481
00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:37.960
<v Speaker 1>That's a very good point.

482
00:22:38.079 --> 00:22:40.799
<v Speaker 2>It's a very tricky one to fix on that. You

483
00:22:40.799 --> 00:22:44.279
<v Speaker 2>could say that your giver throwing I don't know, in

484
00:22:44.400 --> 00:22:48.119
<v Speaker 2>the first half or something, but to be that specific

485
00:22:48.160 --> 00:22:48.920
<v Speaker 2>to a minute.

486
00:22:49.160 --> 00:22:51.480
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know how often it's going out.

487
00:22:51.920 --> 00:22:55.880
<v Speaker 2>Not that often. But unless the bet was I know,

488
00:22:55.920 --> 00:22:58.079
<v Speaker 2>the twenty six minute, the thirty sixth minute, the forty

489
00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.400
<v Speaker 2>sixth minute, something like, and he had options. I don't

490
00:23:01.400 --> 00:23:04.440
<v Speaker 2>know who knows, but it must be it must be

491
00:23:04.519 --> 00:23:07.880
<v Speaker 2>very tempting, like to do something that objectively no one's

492
00:23:07.880 --> 00:23:11.680
<v Speaker 2>going to know you did in theory if you do

493
00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:13.799
<v Speaker 2>it properly. And I guess that's why he got caught,

494
00:23:13.799 --> 00:23:16.000
<v Speaker 2>because he knew it had to be this minute and

495
00:23:16.079 --> 00:23:18.880
<v Speaker 2>it was close in close ish, so he went with it.

496
00:23:19.200 --> 00:23:23.200
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but it shouldn't have been Yeah, but no yeah, yeah,

497
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.440
<v Speaker 1>So it's all kicking off no pun intended. Hm hmm.

498
00:23:27.319 --> 00:23:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Look at me, I made a football pan.

499
00:23:32.440 --> 00:23:33.279
<v Speaker 2>With drinking paints.

500
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:44.519
<v Speaker 1>Next Mitch comes in really angry linesman a linesman and

501
00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:49.119
<v Speaker 1>there's a brawl mm hmmm, which is ridiculous. For some

502
00:23:49.160 --> 00:23:50.359
<v Speaker 1>reason reason ends up with his.

503
00:23:50.319 --> 00:23:52.079
<v Speaker 2>Trousers down because why not.

504
00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:56.559
<v Speaker 1>Look, I love that bit a minute later when he's

505
00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:58.880
<v Speaker 1>just calmly explaining the rules while he's there with his

506
00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:06.839
<v Speaker 1>hands over his lips. So funny. And yeah, Calvin's involved

507
00:24:06.880 --> 00:24:11.039
<v Speaker 1>as well. There's violence, and Martin gives him a red card.

508
00:24:11.640 --> 00:24:17.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah awkward. Yeah, I mean, in Martin's defense, what else

509
00:24:17.200 --> 00:24:17.759
<v Speaker 2>could he have done?

510
00:24:17.960 --> 00:24:19.319
<v Speaker 1>Oh no, exactly, it had to be.

511
00:24:19.839 --> 00:24:21.680
<v Speaker 2>I don't really feel Calvin's got a leg to stand

512
00:24:21.680 --> 00:24:24.480
<v Speaker 2>on here, not at all. It's one thing shouting and screaming,

513
00:24:24.559 --> 00:24:26.599
<v Speaker 2>but it's another thing actually punching a referee.

514
00:24:27.039 --> 00:24:29.519
<v Speaker 1>Yes, it's funny that, you know how he tries to

515
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:31.160
<v Speaker 1>retract it and say, you know, if I meant to

516
00:24:31.200 --> 00:24:32.839
<v Speaker 1>give him a yellow card, I could have shown him that,

517
00:24:32.839 --> 00:24:35.720
<v Speaker 1>couldn't I. And Brendan says, no, you already booked him

518
00:24:35.720 --> 00:24:38.119
<v Speaker 1>in the first half. But I'm surprised that he did

519
00:24:38.119 --> 00:24:40.880
<v Speaker 1>book him in the first half because yeah, again, there

520
00:24:40.920 --> 00:24:41.480
<v Speaker 1>must have been.

521
00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:43.759
<v Speaker 2>A it's probably compensating, like he's gone it.

522
00:24:43.960 --> 00:24:46.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh yeah, I mustn't let it show that I have

523
00:24:46.880 --> 00:24:49.000
<v Speaker 1>any favoritism, so I'm gonna yeah.

524
00:24:49.039 --> 00:24:50.640
<v Speaker 2>And also to throw off that it would be worried

525
00:24:50.640 --> 00:24:52.680
<v Speaker 2>that people will know, and if he yellow cards and

526
00:24:52.759 --> 00:24:55.799
<v Speaker 2>then it throws out maybe that's not well, I wouldn't

527
00:24:55.839 --> 00:24:58.519
<v Speaker 2>have really loved him, I wouldn't have yellow carded him,

528
00:24:58.559 --> 00:25:00.839
<v Speaker 2>So that kind of thing, I guess. I don't know

529
00:25:00.960 --> 00:25:03.599
<v Speaker 2>unless he did something. I mean, this guy clearly has

530
00:25:03.599 --> 00:25:05.680
<v Speaker 2>a bit of a temper problem, so maybe who knows

531
00:25:05.680 --> 00:25:07.400
<v Speaker 2>what he did on the picture that he maybe couldn't

532
00:25:07.400 --> 00:25:09.240
<v Speaker 2>have done anything but yellow card him exactly.

533
00:25:09.319 --> 00:25:15.079
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. And yeah, then so Calvin Outsmartin hm very.

534
00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.039
<v Speaker 2>Awkward also, like, yes, I know he's doing it to

535
00:25:18.119 --> 00:25:19.640
<v Speaker 2>hurt him and everything in that moment, but he's also

536
00:25:19.720 --> 00:25:20.480
<v Speaker 2>outing himself.

537
00:25:21.319 --> 00:25:25.519
<v Speaker 1>Well, he's outing himself that he's done this stuff with him. Yeah,

538
00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:27.480
<v Speaker 1>but I think it's a bit of a one like

539
00:25:27.519 --> 00:25:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you said earlier, like it's that he's done it to

540
00:25:29.440 --> 00:25:32.400
<v Speaker 1>get in with the referee, and like, oh yeah, yeah,

541
00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.559
<v Speaker 1>I think Calvin's straight, and I think he's let him

542
00:25:35.759 --> 00:25:38.039
<v Speaker 1>do things with him so that he can use it

543
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:40.359
<v Speaker 1>to his advantage potentially.

544
00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:41.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I suppose.

545
00:25:41.440 --> 00:25:43.519
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think that probably makes sense because he the

546
00:25:43.599 --> 00:25:45.160
<v Speaker 1>way he says, like you've you know, you've suck the

547
00:25:45.240 --> 00:25:49.920
<v Speaker 1>cop for the last time. Very yeah, Yeah.

548
00:25:49.759 --> 00:25:51.480
<v Speaker 2>I can see what you mean though, Yeah, like he's

549
00:25:51.759 --> 00:25:54.599
<v Speaker 2>he's outing him, but in his mind he can't be

550
00:25:54.640 --> 00:25:56.400
<v Speaker 2>outed because he's not he's not gay, not.

551
00:25:56.319 --> 00:25:58.319
<v Speaker 1>Gay, you know, like those straight people are like, oh,

552
00:25:58.359 --> 00:26:00.079
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's not gay if you do this or that,

553
00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:05.079
<v Speaker 1>you know it's yeah. Yeah, that's that's what he comes across,

554
00:26:05.200 --> 00:26:07.279
<v Speaker 1>like like, you know, oh, just because I let a

555
00:26:07.319 --> 00:26:08.880
<v Speaker 1>man suck me off doesn't mean I'm gay.

556
00:26:10.240 --> 00:26:10.480
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

557
00:26:11.559 --> 00:26:20.400
<v Speaker 1>And that's the SoundBite for the episode on TikTok and there,

558
00:26:20.400 --> 00:26:23.839
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, the funniest bit, that long long pause

559
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:30.599
<v Speaker 1>after he says that really theatrical so awkward, and then

560
00:26:30.680 --> 00:26:33.119
<v Speaker 1>just Brendan just put all that in the reporter.

561
00:26:35.759 --> 00:26:38.680
<v Speaker 2>It goes on forever, but it's perfectly timed.

562
00:26:39.000 --> 00:26:44.519
<v Speaker 1>He's not great at reading the room, no ban so

563
00:26:45.319 --> 00:26:47.839
<v Speaker 1>Martin plans that he's going to try and even things

564
00:26:47.920 --> 00:26:50.559
<v Speaker 1>up in the second half, and the others are a bit,

565
00:26:50.880 --> 00:26:54.640
<v Speaker 1>oh we sure by this? Again another great line from Brendan.

566
00:26:54.680 --> 00:26:56.519
<v Speaker 1>Murray says, are you sure your judgment hasn't been colored

567
00:26:56.559 --> 00:26:59.119
<v Speaker 1>by Calvin? The fact that you just suck sent him off?

568
00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.759
<v Speaker 1>Very good? And so yeah, that's his plan to try

569
00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.559
<v Speaker 1>and try and fix things. But that's just you know,

570
00:27:10.599 --> 00:27:12.119
<v Speaker 1>creating more problems, really, isn't it.

571
00:27:12.160 --> 00:27:16.240
<v Speaker 2>But I can understand the idea.

572
00:27:15.799 --> 00:27:18.400
<v Speaker 1>But especially given how he's been painted to be this

573
00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:20.400
<v Speaker 1>so by the book, you have to do things right

574
00:27:20.440 --> 00:27:23.960
<v Speaker 1>and then to admit that he's considering sort of fixing

575
00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:27.359
<v Speaker 1>it a bit. But I suppose it's a difficult situation.

576
00:27:27.880 --> 00:27:31.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, there's no right way to do it. Well, either

577
00:27:31.559 --> 00:27:34.680
<v Speaker 2>he lets on and his friend loses his job and

578
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:36.559
<v Speaker 2>all sorts of stuff I presume, yeah happens.

579
00:27:36.599 --> 00:27:38.160
<v Speaker 1>I think, I mean, given the way the character has

580
00:27:38.160 --> 00:27:40.480
<v Speaker 1>been presented from the beginning of the episode, I think

581
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:42.839
<v Speaker 1>that is what he would have done is just sort

582
00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.200
<v Speaker 1>of say, well, that was Oggie's problem.

583
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.559
<v Speaker 2>He did that tell Yeah, but yeah.

584
00:27:48.400 --> 00:27:52.400
<v Speaker 1>Obviously there's developments to come, so m yeah. We then

585
00:27:52.440 --> 00:27:55.640
<v Speaker 1>go to the post match, which was abandoned just before

586
00:27:55.640 --> 00:28:02.279
<v Speaker 1>the end for carnage suspected well, suspected collusion. I was

587
00:28:02.319 --> 00:28:05.319
<v Speaker 1>going to say that, yeah, all sorts going on.

588
00:28:05.839 --> 00:28:11.160
<v Speaker 2>Martin, in his efforts to maintain balance, has tried to

589
00:28:11.160 --> 00:28:14.720
<v Speaker 2>claim handball on the goalie who I don't know if

590
00:28:14.720 --> 00:28:20.240
<v Speaker 2>you know, is allowed to use their hands and gotten

591
00:28:20.240 --> 00:28:23.400
<v Speaker 2>a penalty to be retaken three times until they successfully

592
00:28:23.519 --> 00:28:27.880
<v Speaker 2>got it in and the game is in massive disrepute,

593
00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:31.079
<v Speaker 2>and yeah, it's got called off. I love that you've

594
00:28:31.079 --> 00:28:34.640
<v Speaker 2>got it starts with Phil like going around the changing

595
00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.279
<v Speaker 2>room looking a bit shady and suspicious and then doing

596
00:28:38.279 --> 00:28:38.920
<v Speaker 2>his eyeliner.

597
00:28:40.640 --> 00:28:43.160
<v Speaker 1>Yeah. Also, I forgot to mention earlier I loved that

598
00:28:43.279 --> 00:28:50.480
<v Speaker 1>joke about linesman minele. It was the image of him

599
00:28:50.519 --> 00:28:53.119
<v Speaker 1>crying and that they're all running down his cheeks.

600
00:28:52.799 --> 00:28:56.440
<v Speaker 2>But I do like that joke, and I do like

601
00:28:56.519 --> 00:29:00.200
<v Speaker 2>early when Martin refers to them as John Crawford and

602
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:04.119
<v Speaker 2>Bet Davis. Is it the big rivalry thing. I also

603
00:29:04.160 --> 00:29:08.279
<v Speaker 2>don't feel like a bunch of football referees would know

604
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:14.319
<v Speaker 2>about nineteen thirties or whatever Hollywood drama some some matriarchs

605
00:29:14.359 --> 00:29:14.839
<v Speaker 2>and stuff.

606
00:29:15.200 --> 00:29:19.400
<v Speaker 1>That's a fair point. Yeah, I suppose people are more

607
00:29:19.519 --> 00:29:20.480
<v Speaker 1>rounded than we think.

608
00:29:20.720 --> 00:29:23.599
<v Speaker 2>Maybe maybe, yeah, maybe it's massively into the golden age

609
00:29:23.599 --> 00:29:24.200
<v Speaker 2>of Hollywood.

610
00:29:25.160 --> 00:29:27.759
<v Speaker 1>Yeah well no, but like you know, they're of an

611
00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:30.799
<v Speaker 1>older generation than us, and maybe they've heard family talk

612
00:29:30.799 --> 00:29:31.480
<v Speaker 1>about don't it.

613
00:29:31.880 --> 00:29:32.400
<v Speaker 2>Maybe.

614
00:29:32.559 --> 00:29:34.440
<v Speaker 1>I mean everyone knows who lies Iman Ellie.

615
00:29:34.119 --> 00:29:37.039
<v Speaker 2>Was, yeah, is Yeah, I still keep being amazed that

616
00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:39.480
<v Speaker 2>she's alive. Yeah, I feel like she died about twenty

617
00:29:39.559 --> 00:29:39.920
<v Speaker 2>years ago.

618
00:29:39.920 --> 00:29:41.559
<v Speaker 1>I know that's what I just like to correct myself.

619
00:29:42.559 --> 00:29:43.720
<v Speaker 2>She's still very much alive.

620
00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:51.920
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but yeah, we've got officials and the police as

621
00:29:51.920 --> 00:29:55.519
<v Speaker 1>well questioning them individually. It's obviously clearly going to come out.

622
00:29:56.119 --> 00:30:00.559
<v Speaker 2>Yep. I don't understand that. So Ogie says to Martin,

623
00:30:01.000 --> 00:30:03.599
<v Speaker 2>will you keep my name out of this? But his

624
00:30:03.759 --> 00:30:06.039
<v Speaker 2>argument is being that he was only trying to keep

625
00:30:06.039 --> 00:30:08.559
<v Speaker 2>things fair, So how does he say that? How can

626
00:30:08.599 --> 00:30:12.920
<v Speaker 2>he maintain any element of maintaining fairness if he can't

627
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.960
<v Speaker 2>say what Oggie's done?

628
00:30:14.440 --> 00:30:16.079
<v Speaker 1>No, I think that's ridiculous.

629
00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:19.200
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, unless he just says that, Unless he's just going

630
00:30:19.240 --> 00:30:21.480
<v Speaker 2>to say that he made a mistake and like not

631
00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:25.599
<v Speaker 2>the malice behind, not the ill intentions behind it.

632
00:30:25.920 --> 00:30:28.680
<v Speaker 1>Could do. But yeah, I mean it's quite a nice

633
00:30:28.680 --> 00:30:31.319
<v Speaker 1>bit there with them. You just get Stephen Reese sitting

634
00:30:31.359 --> 00:30:33.640
<v Speaker 1>side by side, and it's like, oh, you know, because

635
00:30:33.640 --> 00:30:35.720
<v Speaker 1>they're the two constants in the show, it's nice for

636
00:30:35.759 --> 00:30:38.079
<v Speaker 1>them to just have a scene the two of them. Yeah,

637
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.559
<v Speaker 1>And Augie says that the Eastern betting syndicate that contacted

638
00:30:41.640 --> 00:30:44.400
<v Speaker 1>him actually sounded like just one man putting a voice on,

639
00:30:45.680 --> 00:30:49.000
<v Speaker 1>which I feel is relevant when we get the final

640
00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:53.359
<v Speaker 1>twist later. Oh, Okay, it's wondering if maybe that one

641
00:30:53.359 --> 00:30:55.640
<v Speaker 1>man putting a voice on was a particular man.

642
00:30:55.960 --> 00:30:57.160
<v Speaker 2>I never considered that.

643
00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:02.839
<v Speaker 1>Oh, I like that like him, he orchestrated the whole thing. Yeah,

644
00:31:03.119 --> 00:31:05.279
<v Speaker 1>if that is the intention. I mean, it's not super clear,

645
00:31:05.480 --> 00:31:06.680
<v Speaker 1>but I did. I did wonder.

646
00:31:06.880 --> 00:31:09.119
<v Speaker 2>I'd never considered that. But yeah, that really works.

647
00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:12.799
<v Speaker 1>Then he knew he'd be the most vulnerable to it.

648
00:31:12.839 --> 00:31:16.599
<v Speaker 2>Maybe, Yeah, that he's up the rest of everything. Yeah,

649
00:31:17.160 --> 00:31:20.240
<v Speaker 2>I mean I still think that we're dancing around the revelation.

650
00:31:20.680 --> 00:31:22.559
<v Speaker 2>But I feel feel like the plant would have worked

651
00:31:22.599 --> 00:31:24.519
<v Speaker 2>either way. He still could have made all of that

652
00:31:24.559 --> 00:31:27.599
<v Speaker 2>happen in the second Yeah, he doesn't need what he's

653
00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:28.480
<v Speaker 2>done in the first half.

654
00:31:29.279 --> 00:31:31.680
<v Speaker 1>No, but I think helps. It helps because it creates

655
00:31:31.759 --> 00:31:35.000
<v Speaker 1>the whole violent dispute and everything, which which helps them

656
00:31:35.039 --> 00:31:37.799
<v Speaker 1>get duck points. Doesn't it If they just abandoned the

657
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:40.920
<v Speaker 1>match because of something had gone wrong, they wouldn't necessarily

658
00:31:40.960 --> 00:31:42.079
<v Speaker 1>get duck points. I don't think.

659
00:31:42.400 --> 00:31:44.039
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, But if so, I guess we'd just just

660
00:31:44.079 --> 00:31:49.480
<v Speaker 2>say it. So Martin has purposefully orchestrated all of this, yeah, too,

661
00:31:49.680 --> 00:31:52.680
<v Speaker 2>hopefully ensure that this team loses some points that puts

662
00:31:52.720 --> 00:31:56.440
<v Speaker 2>them just under his team City, who couldn't have otherwise

663
00:31:56.599 --> 00:32:00.359
<v Speaker 2>had enough points for automatic promotion. So he's taken the

664
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:02.599
<v Speaker 2>last last thing before he retires is to make sure

665
00:32:02.599 --> 00:32:05.319
<v Speaker 2>that his team makes it into the Premier League. But

666
00:32:05.359 --> 00:32:07.319
<v Speaker 2>I still feel like even if what Ogi had done

667
00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:10.559
<v Speaker 2>hadn't happened, he could have still done his whole nonsense

668
00:32:10.559 --> 00:32:13.279
<v Speaker 2>decisions in the second half, which would have led to fights,

669
00:32:13.279 --> 00:32:15.480
<v Speaker 2>which have led to red cards, which would have led

670
00:32:15.519 --> 00:32:19.000
<v Speaker 2>to all the screaming and showing and match being abandoned.

671
00:32:19.480 --> 00:32:22.359
<v Speaker 2>I just feel like, hmm, it probably helps though that

672
00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:23.319
<v Speaker 2>the thing happened in the.

673
00:32:23.279 --> 00:32:26.960
<v Speaker 1>First Isn't he also concerned about his reputation, isn't he

674
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:29.160
<v Speaker 1>so if he can pin it on Oggie and Ogi

675
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:30.799
<v Speaker 1>being the one that did something wrong and then he

676
00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:31.599
<v Speaker 1>was just trying.

677
00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:34.400
<v Speaker 2>To, if that's true, fix it. Yeah, that looks better

678
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:35.680
<v Speaker 2>for him. Yeah, because that was going to be my

679
00:32:35.680 --> 00:32:38.599
<v Speaker 2>point that how if these are related, how how he

680
00:32:38.640 --> 00:32:40.720
<v Speaker 2>knew that someone would do something? But yeah, that makes sense.

681
00:32:41.119 --> 00:32:43.039
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I think he. I think he did it.

682
00:32:43.559 --> 00:32:48.799
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that has just become a little bit more evil. Hm.

683
00:32:49.680 --> 00:32:52.799
<v Speaker 1>I can believe it that his look on his face

684
00:32:52.880 --> 00:32:54.160
<v Speaker 1>at the end when he's on his own and he

685
00:32:54.200 --> 00:32:58.640
<v Speaker 1>realizes his team is going to be promoted. Yeah, the passion,

686
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:01.400
<v Speaker 1>you know, it really means a lot to him, like

687
00:33:01.440 --> 00:33:05.720
<v Speaker 1>that Tattoo City till I die mm hmm. I mean

688
00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:06.839
<v Speaker 1>I don't understand it, but.

689
00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:09.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, as if you're going to throw your whole career away.

690
00:33:10.799 --> 00:33:13.480
<v Speaker 2>But he's got nothing else to lose at that point,

691
00:33:13.640 --> 00:33:16.519
<v Speaker 2>like his career done, so does it matter? He's happy?

692
00:33:17.640 --> 00:33:20.319
<v Speaker 2>Have you seen in the trivia section of the in

693
00:33:20.400 --> 00:33:23.480
<v Speaker 2>Tantumer nine wiki that they reckon that? So the title

694
00:33:23.559 --> 00:33:26.240
<v Speaker 2>is written as the referees a wanker with the A nk.

695
00:33:26.559 --> 00:33:28.480
<v Speaker 1>Oh yes hashed out yeah?

696
00:33:28.839 --> 00:33:31.640
<v Speaker 2>A is that they actually think it's winner, which I'd

697
00:33:31.640 --> 00:33:33.160
<v Speaker 2>never consider before and I enjoy.

698
00:33:34.000 --> 00:33:35.559
<v Speaker 1>Well. I was going to I was going to bring

699
00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.680
<v Speaker 1>this up, the whole title thing, because obviously when it

700
00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:40.200
<v Speaker 1>comes up in the title card of the episode, it's

701
00:33:40.240 --> 00:33:43.079
<v Speaker 1>start out. And my question was going to be, is

702
00:33:43.119 --> 00:33:46.960
<v Speaker 1>it is the title officially the referees a w star

703
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:50.079
<v Speaker 1>star star star er or is the title the referees

704
00:33:50.119 --> 00:33:52.599
<v Speaker 1>a wanker? But they just can't put that on BBC.

705
00:33:52.440 --> 00:33:56.640
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, or on the podcast thing they refer to it

706
00:33:56.680 --> 00:34:00.400
<v Speaker 2>is yeah, So and they never went into saying that

707
00:34:00.440 --> 00:34:02.680
<v Speaker 2>there was more to it than that, No, which I

708
00:34:02.680 --> 00:34:04.960
<v Speaker 2>think they probably would have done. But then they never

709
00:34:04.960 --> 00:34:06.880
<v Speaker 2>mentioned the thing that you said about Martin putting in

710
00:34:06.880 --> 00:34:09.559
<v Speaker 2>a voice, So no, maybe not. I don't know.

711
00:34:10.039 --> 00:34:14.159
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, it's interpretation, really yeah, but yeah, that is a

712
00:34:14.239 --> 00:34:19.280
<v Speaker 1>nice double meaning there, quite clever. I just it does.

713
00:34:19.719 --> 00:34:22.920
<v Speaker 1>It's mind boggling to me that he would do all

714
00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:25.519
<v Speaker 1>this for that. I know he says, he says earlier,

715
00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:27.880
<v Speaker 1>I did it for love, And I think you're supposed

716
00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:30.760
<v Speaker 1>to think he's talking about Calvin, but he's actually talking

717
00:34:30.800 --> 00:34:33.920
<v Speaker 1>about love for his club, and the fact that he

718
00:34:33.960 --> 00:34:38.880
<v Speaker 1>would risk his reputation and all the legal consequences for

719
00:34:39.320 --> 00:34:41.880
<v Speaker 1>love for a club, Like it just shows like love

720
00:34:41.960 --> 00:34:44.840
<v Speaker 1>is a stranger thing than anything else in this world,

721
00:34:45.039 --> 00:34:46.639
<v Speaker 1>even if it is for a bloody football club.

722
00:34:46.719 --> 00:34:49.159
<v Speaker 2>Like yeah, I mean it's not like he's, you know,

723
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:51.880
<v Speaker 2>just starting out and it's not a career he's that

724
00:34:51.880 --> 00:34:54.159
<v Speaker 2>fussed about and he'll just jack it all in and

725
00:34:54.199 --> 00:34:56.599
<v Speaker 2>go and do something else like this is this is

726
00:34:56.639 --> 00:34:59.880
<v Speaker 2>his legacy that he's like throwing away after however many years.

727
00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:06.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, very strange. That's what people who are into football

728
00:35:06.559 --> 00:35:09.559
<v Speaker 1>are like. And I did think as well. You know,

729
00:35:09.599 --> 00:35:11.840
<v Speaker 1>we're saying about how well cast David Morrissey was, but

730
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:17.199
<v Speaker 1>he's obviously very passionate about football himself. He is very

731
00:35:17.199 --> 00:35:19.159
<v Speaker 1>funny that they had to change the whole team names

732
00:35:19.159 --> 00:35:21.800
<v Speaker 1>around that they had in the original script because originally

733
00:35:21.840 --> 00:35:24.239
<v Speaker 1>it would have required him to have United till I

734
00:35:24.320 --> 00:35:26.760
<v Speaker 1>die on his back and I think he's a Liverpool

735
00:35:26.800 --> 00:35:29.960
<v Speaker 1>fan and that would have been too much for him

736
00:35:29.960 --> 00:35:32.199
<v Speaker 1>to have that as a temporary tattoo for one day

737
00:35:32.239 --> 00:35:34.480
<v Speaker 1>of filming on his back. Apparently that would have made

738
00:35:34.559 --> 00:35:37.239
<v Speaker 1>him too sick, so he had they had to change

739
00:35:37.239 --> 00:35:42.480
<v Speaker 1>the whole thing around. Really, really call yourself an actor,

740
00:35:45.840 --> 00:35:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I've said.

741
00:35:46.239 --> 00:35:48.440
<v Speaker 2>Him in various things. He's murdered people in all sorts, so.

742
00:35:48.920 --> 00:35:51.559
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, but he cannot have United.

743
00:35:51.280 --> 00:35:56.039
<v Speaker 2>That they are weird of football people? Do you take

744
00:35:56.039 --> 00:35:57.000
<v Speaker 2>it crazily serious?

745
00:35:58.559 --> 00:36:02.960
<v Speaker 1>Weird? It's completely comes from a completely different place. But

746
00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:06.039
<v Speaker 1>I completely agree with Mitch's thing. He says, get carried away?

747
00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:06.239
<v Speaker 2>We do?

748
00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:08.559
<v Speaker 1>Are we about twenty two blogs chasing the pig's bladder

749
00:36:08.559 --> 00:36:13.960
<v Speaker 1>around the field. Yeah, that's exactly how I feel. Yeah,

750
00:36:14.039 --> 00:36:15.960
<v Speaker 1>we didn't mention as well the lovely jokes about you

751
00:36:16.000 --> 00:36:19.360
<v Speaker 1>want to use the back entrance and one hundred and

752
00:36:19.360 --> 00:36:21.320
<v Speaker 1>fifty million quid right off the shitter, no offense.

753
00:36:24.639 --> 00:36:26.639
<v Speaker 2>That wasn't in the original script, but you just changed.

754
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.960
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, And thinking about it, it doesn't quite make sense because

755
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:32.679
<v Speaker 1>you would you would say down the shitter, yeah, or

756
00:36:32.760 --> 00:36:34.679
<v Speaker 1>up the swanee. But he sort of merged them together.

757
00:36:35.159 --> 00:36:40.960
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, I know, considered that actually, and we never do

758
00:36:41.000 --> 00:36:42.480
<v Speaker 2>find out what species he is meant to be?

759
00:36:43.000 --> 00:36:47.599
<v Speaker 1>No, yeah, and he knows he looks like an idiot,

760
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:54.880
<v Speaker 1>but you do anything for your club. Oh dear, can

761
00:36:54.880 --> 00:37:01.280
<v Speaker 1>I stop talking about football? Now? What are you going to? Am?

762
00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:04.320
<v Speaker 2>I going to rate it? Well, this is a funny one.

763
00:37:04.360 --> 00:37:06.400
<v Speaker 2>It was one of the ones that I remember thinking

764
00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.800
<v Speaker 2>would be very low on my list, but I'm actually

765
00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:11.199
<v Speaker 2>more impressed with it than I thought. I mean, it's

766
00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:14.360
<v Speaker 2>nowhere near the top episodes, but it does have a

767
00:37:14.360 --> 00:37:16.280
<v Speaker 2>decent twist. I do like that there's quite a lot

768
00:37:16.320 --> 00:37:19.280
<v Speaker 2>of seed, soone that makes sense on a rewatch of

769
00:37:19.320 --> 00:37:23.199
<v Speaker 2>like all these little things that he's doing. I'm tempted.

770
00:37:23.199 --> 00:37:27.159
<v Speaker 2>Bry a five. Okay, it's very middle. I think the

771
00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:30.159
<v Speaker 2>comedy is what is keeping it for me as well.

772
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:32.840
<v Speaker 2>I think if it hadn't been a funny one and

773
00:37:32.880 --> 00:37:36.400
<v Speaker 2>they tried to do it a bit more straight then

774
00:37:36.880 --> 00:37:39.480
<v Speaker 2>then it would have been a lot lower. But you

775
00:37:39.519 --> 00:37:41.559
<v Speaker 2>don't really need to know a lot about football, and

776
00:37:41.599 --> 00:37:45.199
<v Speaker 2>it's not Whilst it's very important, it's not that important

777
00:37:45.360 --> 00:37:46.960
<v Speaker 2>at the same time. So yeah, I think I'm gonna

778
00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:47.280
<v Speaker 2>go five.

779
00:37:47.559 --> 00:37:48.960
<v Speaker 1>Okay, that's fair.

780
00:37:49.679 --> 00:37:50.199
<v Speaker 2>How about you?

781
00:37:50.840 --> 00:37:54.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to four? Just yeah, I mean similar, But

782
00:37:55.039 --> 00:37:57.280
<v Speaker 1>I do just think for me, I found I had

783
00:37:57.280 --> 00:38:00.440
<v Speaker 1>to concentrate so hard on something that I'm not really

784
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:03.880
<v Speaker 1>enthusiastic about, and it was just, you know, that's very

785
00:38:03.960 --> 00:38:08.079
<v Speaker 1>very much a personal score. Yeah, but yeah, I think

786
00:38:08.159 --> 00:38:11.480
<v Speaker 1>it's it's it's not terrible. It's it's a well written story,

787
00:38:11.519 --> 00:38:14.480
<v Speaker 1>well created piece of TV. But just in terms of

788
00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:15.920
<v Speaker 1>how much I enjoy it, I had to put it

789
00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:16.719
<v Speaker 1>down a little bit.

790
00:38:16.760 --> 00:38:19.519
<v Speaker 2>So I for yeah, I do wish I liked football,

791
00:38:20.000 --> 00:38:22.000
<v Speaker 2>just because of how many people love it and you

792
00:38:22.039 --> 00:38:24.880
<v Speaker 2>feel like you excluded from so many conversations and stuff.

793
00:38:26.000 --> 00:38:27.159
<v Speaker 2>But I really just don't.

794
00:38:27.840 --> 00:38:31.440
<v Speaker 1>No, I would rather spend the energy on other things.

795
00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:36.559
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, literally anything else.

796
00:38:38.079 --> 00:38:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Where was the hair? Then?

797
00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:41.280
<v Speaker 2>Well they sat I had to look up. I don't know,

798
00:38:41.360 --> 00:38:42.039
<v Speaker 2>did you spot it?

799
00:38:42.159 --> 00:38:44.440
<v Speaker 1>I didn't know no, it was at the.

800
00:38:44.440 --> 00:38:47.440
<v Speaker 2>Very beginning on top of the microwave. Oh right, okay,

801
00:38:48.000 --> 00:38:50.239
<v Speaker 2>but yeah I didn't spot it. Had to google and

802
00:38:50.280 --> 00:38:53.679
<v Speaker 2>cheat this week fair. Speaking of which, did you spot

803
00:38:53.679 --> 00:38:53.960
<v Speaker 2>our hair?

804
00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:58.239
<v Speaker 1>We'll let you know next week where it was before

805
00:38:58.239 --> 00:39:00.960
<v Speaker 1>we finish. I wanted to share a quick message as well.

806
00:39:01.400 --> 00:39:05.320
<v Speaker 1>This message came in on Instagram from Emma, who says, hello,

807
00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:08.119
<v Speaker 1>hope you both had a lovely Christmas. I just wanted

808
00:39:08.119 --> 00:39:09.960
<v Speaker 1>to send a wee message to say how much I'm

809
00:39:10.000 --> 00:39:12.360
<v Speaker 1>enjoying the podcast. I'm such a huge fan of Inside

810
00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:14.280
<v Speaker 1>Number nine and it's been so lovely to listen to

811
00:39:14.320 --> 00:39:16.920
<v Speaker 1>a show where the hosts are clearly so passionate and genuine.

812
00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:19.039
<v Speaker 1>I found the podcast in the run up of going

813
00:39:19.079 --> 00:39:21.239
<v Speaker 1>to Stage Fright in Edinburgh, which I ended up going

814
00:39:21.239 --> 00:39:23.159
<v Speaker 1>to twice because it was just the best show ever

815
00:39:23.280 --> 00:39:25.280
<v Speaker 1>and it's been such a joy to listen to, especially

816
00:39:25.320 --> 00:39:27.199
<v Speaker 1>knowing there's going to be episodes once the theater tour

817
00:39:27.320 --> 00:39:29.159
<v Speaker 1>is over and the show will be kept alive for

818
00:39:29.159 --> 00:39:31.679
<v Speaker 1>a bit longer. Keep up the amazing work, guys. I

819
00:39:31.679 --> 00:39:35.280
<v Speaker 1>look forward to the new episodes every week. Thank you Emma,

820
