BBC Sounds, music, radio, podcasts.

Your time starts now.

You're about to listen to a BBC podcast.

Absolutely right.

So, you might like to know that the BBC makes loads of other podcasts.

Really?

Wow.

Many of them are very funny.

Which I think means...

A hatful of ha-hars. And energy. Even if we do say so ourselves. I agree 100% to that. Find them all on BBC Sounds. Just tell us a joke. Come on, tell us a joke. Come on, tell us a joke. Just search comedy on BBC Sounds. I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in. I see you're using an old style.

I wondered where you'd learned it from.

You know very well, it's yours too.

I'm Rick Edwards, and this is Fighting Talk.

Hello, good morning and welcome. So much great sport this weekend. Women's Rugby World Cup, the Ryder Cup, Aston Villa Fulham tomorrow. It seems ashamed to take up valuable five-live

airtime with this silly little show, but our contract is ironclad and we will not be moved, apart from very

occasionally for the tennis. On today, we have four panellists who can be politely described as having

the gift of the gab or impolitely described as gobby. So in the interest of saving time,

we'll go with pithy one-line intros. First up, Man City, Scotland, doesn't sound Scottish, but is extremely agro.

That said blue. Yes. There it is. They're aggressive yes from Natalie Pike.

Scott MacTominee doesn't sound Scottish either, by the way, and no one questions him.

No, I would if he came on this show, and it is a big if. There's no way around it.

You are a fearsome competitor. Looking at your opponents today, who do you think you'll start on first? I think I'll make Jake cry first. Yes. Spot the weak one and take him down. The weak one, let's see what is. Yes. I'll take it, I'll take it. Yeah, and actually you don't get a choice, Jim. You have to take it. Next up, Mod, Blackburn, Chutney Maker, Blackburn, Ian Moore. Hello, Ian, how are you? That's not much of a CV, isn't it? Well, I mean, if I'd like to repeat Blackburn. I feel like I should have done done more with my life No, I complete, but do you know what? On that, I was in an airport Earlier this year and the Smiths had a big display The books are like, you should buy this for your holiday And it was Osman, obviously, and then a load of you And I was genuinely, I was really excited I was like saying to my wife, I know him, I know him I'm putting you back in on the load of you. Hey. And I was genuinely, I was really excited. I was like saying to my wife, I know him.
