Hey, what's up everybody? It's me Chris Ryan host of The Watch and I wanted to tell you about one of my favorite shows on our network.

It's Ringer FC, which is actually two shows. It's Stadio with Ryan Hun and Muso Quanga going over all of the major leagues in Europe.

And it's Rides house with Arsenal legend and British media pundit Ian Wright.

And he looks at soccer both through the eyes of an ex-player, but also the larger social context of the game right now in Europe and globally.

Ringer FC is your home for all things soccer on the ringer and this week Stadio covered the new castle takeover, which is obviously the major story in the global game right now.

You can find Ringer FC every Monday, Wednesday and Thursday on Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

I need support staff to clear the room. Stand up and walk now. Hello and welcome to The Watch. My name is Chris Ryan.

I am editor at theRinger.com and joining me on the other line from the nicest airport hotel in Sarajevo that we could find on short notice.

It's Andy Creewald! Five stars! Five stars. That's how I raid my airport hotels and that's how I rate the season premiere.

Action stations. Let's fucking go. Let's get into succession season three. How are you? How are you feeling about this?

We just we watched the first episode of season three of succession. It's called Sessession. Shout out to Greg Abbott out there.

And we are thrilled to early for just to Greg Abbott.

Shout out to Andy. He's here to talk about succession with me all season obviously. This first episode we're going to do a little bit of a general chat about the show and then we'll get into a beat by the replay of the episode itself. Andy just like first thoughts.

I feel alive Chris. I feel alive. I feel excited. People may not know this but when I was a young boy growing up outside of Philadelphia reading TV guide magazine on the couch.

Well my father watched San Luis Cardinal games or whatever. I don't think people realize that this is still an emotional business for me.

It's not an relationship business and it's an emotional business.

Yeah, so that's right. And never the Twain Shell meet. I got into this business because I love television.

I love television storytelling and a holy Christ man. This is like getting the third rail back. This was electric. This felt so good. This was so exciting.

It ticked all the boxes of what I want from a TV show at this moment and honestly something that hasn't. I haven't felt this in a minute.

Yeah, because it was so thrilling for a show to return to end and then after two years return at the absolute peak of its powers.

And you know, I heard because again, relationships business that this episode was screened this week in New York at the official premier party that HBO threw again. I feel like maybe Casey boys doesn't have our updated email addresses.

I'm sure it went to spam. Otherwise, we would have been there.
