0:13.1

He was great, Paul.

0:13.8

Really interesting to get insight from a recent championship manager, a man who's been around for a good few years in the dugout. So Gary is on good form. We had a birthday spread, as we always do. And we headed to Beneldorm to speak to Colleen Holm, who's the owner of the winning post bar there. They're going to have a sort of exodus, mass exodus of England and Scotland fans, and who knows possibly more Home Nations fans going there for the World Cup.

Good afternoon, everyone. Good afternoon, Charlie.

0:54.3

Good afternoon, Paul. I'm not going to lie to you. I completely forgot the cricket was on. When they make the Zach Crawley statue, I don't know who would make that or why we would have. He'll be slashing at one. Slashing at one, his office off stump. Beautifully. Paul, did you see Naomi Asaka walk on to court yesterday? no I didn didn't. In the Australian. I didn't. Was it yesterday? Yesterday? Yeah. For her first round match. She designed an outfit with the good people at Nike. Yeah. And she came on, basically dressed as a jellyfish. Wow. That was her costume. She had a hat. She had like, I feel like she was in a school production of... You know, what's under the sea? Oh, yeah. Little mermaid. Yeah, that's it. Little mermaid? Little mermaid. Little mermaid. And, you know, a mum or dad... Yeah, so jellyfish inspired outfit. Yeah. I mean she came on with that. Based on that, you'd want to beat her, wouldn't you? Did she win or not? Well, she won. She won it, but can you think of a worse animal at sport than a jellyfish? It don't even swimple. They just bob about. They can do some damage, though, can't they? They can do some damage. In the tackle.

2:01.3

Yeah, they've got to get in the tackle.

2:03.4

I can't think of a worse, if you can think of a worse animal at sport, 8-10-89. Yeah. Or what's a good sport that a jellyfish? That's a very early Charlie's choice. Or your jellyfish tails. You've done me a real favour there because I'm a bit under the weather today, Charlie.

I've got a bit of a chesty cough and a bit of a chest infection.

2:19.3

Good player, chesty cough.

2:20.5

Yeah, Igor Chy cough. What's a player, poor? But it's much worse when I laugh. You're the right person today. It's a real blessing to be working with you too. I'm not sure I could have made it otherwise. Well, I'm good at laughing at my own jokes as well. If you hear me coughing, I do apologize. Perhaps we could get Jeff on to do some toppers just a couple of hours with you. Yeah. You know, that'd be nice. And there's some birthday spread merchandise you've probably seen, and there's some new trading cards that were run past the hardcore a little a little bit later very rare most bizarre thing I've seen today was in today's son and it was just let's sort of find the story for you I did put it on our group didn't I Charlie and you did you'll have put it on there Paul yeah he's gone he did he's on our WhatsApp group. Oh, yeah.

3:08.2

What was it about?

3:09.6

What's the general idea of Paul? Well, it was, a guy who was arrested in... Oh, yes. He was in Thailand, wasn't he? In Thailand. He was in a Man City shirt. And it was the day of the Manchester Derby. And the police dressed up in Man United. Yeah. Police talk to Manchester City fan nab for drugs

for his mugshot hours after the Derby win. The suspect 43 was caught with methamphetamine pills in North East Thailand on Saturday of the day the Red Devils won. The cop stood behind the fan and posted the picture online Manchester is red. They've got proper sort of copper's faces on, right? They're very proud of the collar, you can tell. Oh, yeah. Pop the collar like Eric Cantonai, yeah, very, very good. But they've all put their Manchester United shirts to pose with a fellow.
