| 0:21.7 | history you might have popped up for all your options you can go to patreon.com forward slash |
| 0:27.1 | oh what a time hello and welcome to part two of the sporting revolutionaries. |
| 0:42.6 | We'll get on with the show in a second, but first, you've been asking for it. |
| 0:46.0 | No one's been asking for it. |
| 0:47.4 | You've been demanding it. |
| 0:48.4 | No one's been demanding it. |
| 0:49.7 | But we have got an episode on the history of trousers. |

It's a scandy cut. People are into it. But I actually think we'll look back on it in a few years' time. I think I'm not sure about the outline of that. I go for a straight leg. |
| 1:44.8 | That's why I wear a straight leg jean. |
