That is a football crowd.

To be specific, it's the famed cop stand at Liverpool football Clubs Anfield Stadium.

And that's because today's guest is Tony Padilla.

Now, viewers of number file videos will know Tony as the guy who does all the episodes about the really big numbers.

Things like Tree Three, Rayo's number, Graham's number, that sort of thing.

Tony's day job is a professor of theoretical physics

at the University of Nottingham. But as a man born and bred in Liverpool, his true passion is the

Reds Liverpool Football Club, the famous soccer team for those of you in the US. Tony's a season

ticket holder and travels to most of Liverpool's

home games. That's a good two and a half hours drive from his house in Nottingham. And look,

while I'm not in Tony's league, I'm also a Liverpool fan and have long wanted to go to a game with him.

So for today's episode, we recorded in the car. Sorry about the noise.

We're travelling to Anfield to watch Liverpool's Premier League game against Watford.

So let me get you on the record.

What's your score prediction today?

Oh, I don't like to predict, to be perfectly honest.

I know Watford, isn't it?

It's, let's say, 4-0. 4-0 to Liverpool. Yeah. All right. I've known you a long time now, and I know what a huge Liverpool fan you are. I'm really curious to see what it'll be like next to you during a game. Like, do you lose the plot a bit? bit? Do you get a bit over-emotional or are you like pretty calm and?

No, the former definitely. I'll lose the plot. If the referee starts playing up, I'll be singing me songs and we've got to sing our songs today, really, right? Yeah, and Klop said we have to, right?

Okay.
