72 plus, the EFL podcast with Aaron Paul and Joby McEnough.

0:12.1

Welcome to 72 Plus, the EFL podcast on the Football Daily with me, Aaron Paul.

0:17.2

Also alongside us, Joby McEnough, my right arm.

0:20.1

How are you, Javiusias I am actually really really well

0:23.6

today and this week because it is kids back to school week and this time of the year I've got to say

0:31.1

even with the weather absolutely tipping it down in north London I've never seen so many happy people

0:36.1

standing at a school gate and And I tell you what,

0:38.8

this year actually, when you know it's actually really the time, I had a chat with my little, well, it's not that little anymore, he's 12 going into year 8. And I'm like, look, you're ready to go back to school. He's like, you know what? Nothing against you or mum. But actually, I really am. I've got a little bit bored the last week or so,

0:35.5

and I thought you cheeky little, you know what I mean?

0:37.6

Like, I mean, everything I've got a little bit bored the last week or so,

0:54.8

and I thought, you're cheeky little, you know what I mean? Like, I mean, everything we do from over the holidays, if that's the case, you can find your own way into school, mate, when you go back. So, yeah, good times, kids back in school, a little bit of freedom for all the adults out there. I think it just says a lot about the company that you and Mrs. McEnough offer in sort of the home life. Also, someone who knows a lot about school runs and nappies and other things. It's cheaper by the dozen with Phil Brown. How are you, pal? Cheaper by the dozen, I love it. I'm great. I'm absolutely fantastic. Not as chilled as what Jobby is at the moment, but

1:28.8

looking forward to getting the kids back to school, exactly the same jobs.

1:33.1

You know all about the school run, don't you, Philip?

1:35.9

Times 3, times 4. It's just, it's phenomenal to tell you the truth. I've got nursery run

1:41.3

first, then I've got, I'm dropping the misses misses off she's at school as well and she's

1:46.2

a teacher she's a teacher absolutely love that and Phil what would you normally be doing during

1:51.5

the international bike as a manager um as a manager well it was quite interesting because I've been

1:56.9

doing a bit of work in the Premier League and in the NFL and uh you try and and second guess what most of them are doing. And it's quite an interesting time to tell you the truth, because during my time as a manager, it comes to an international break, you're guaranteed you've had six weeks of pre-season for everybody in the squad, you're guaranteed you've had three or four games, and you're guaranteed that everybody's in the same boat. At this moment in time, I don't think people can say that,

2:21.7

you know? Championship teams are laden with internationals. I think it was looking at one of the

2:25.7
