Hey everybody, welcome to part one of this week's socially distant sports bar, episode 225.

What do you need to know about this episode

before we get going?

There is a Welsh phrase for angels dancing on your tongue which the original of it is not

angels dancing on your own something far more lewd but that comes up in conversation in the

intro it is a beautiful conversation. We discuss how shuttlecocks are made. We look at a particularly entertaining video of an Irishman picking up a massive stone.

And Paul Merson comes up for conversation as well.

This is part one of this week's episode please please vote for us at the

listeners choice award at the British Podcast Awards that closes on

August the 29th so if you are listening to this before August the 29th. So if you are listening to this before August the 29th,

2024, we would love it if you will vote.

You've got us into the top 20 so far,

and I think there's no reason why we can't be a top one.

I was going to say a lower number, I don't know why, because I want to win.

There's no reason why we can't be a top one podcast.

If you vote for us, we will win. It is as simple as that. The

numbers do not lie depending on who's adding them up obviously but the

numbers would not lie. There's no reason why we can't win this. So British Podcast Awards.

Dot com slash voting. I would love to win this. Mike would love to win this.
