| 0:04.1 | Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. |
| 0:12.2 | I'm Joe Devine. |
| 0:13.7 | I love to look in your eyes, John McKenzie, as I say my own name. |
| 0:16.4 | And you seem to be getting more and more rambunctious every week when you say it. |
| 0:19.7 | I'm Joe Devine. |

| 1:30.8 | Deploy. |
