Hello everybody, welcome to another edition of the WTF1 podcast and welcome to Hot Takes Wednesday, the show with Hot Takes and I'll not much else, but it makes for a good time anyway.

I'm your host, Ray Harrison and with me again is Kiran Oh, it's good to see you Kiran. Hey, then.

Hello, I'm doing very badly. I'm riddled with COVID. I broke my MacBook today and I've done my lower back in. So yeah, it's pleasure to be here.

I love that despite all of this Kiran insisted he was going to come on because he fought a potentially grumpy Kiran could make the show more interesting.

Yeah, I just woke up in the middle of the night sweating, you know that you know when you wake up sweating, but you're also freezing cold.

I had that moment and I looked up at the ceiling and the darkness subsided into a bright shiny light. I figured beamed down and said to me, Kiran, you must do hot takes Wednesday and I said I will. So I did and I have.

For a man who's claimed many grumpy, that was actually quite optimistic for you. I must say.

Shut up.

Okay, maybe not.

One could certainly try. So for those who are new to us, you know, every podcast is somebody's first, as I always say, on hot takes Wednesday, we will be taking tweets and opinions from 10 of the hottest takes we've been sent in via Twitter at WTF1 official.

And on Mondays, if you want to send in your hot takes, they may just end up on the show sending them in on Mondays for us. And we will see them in this chat in real time.

As we record this podcast, we were reacted and then we'll agree on a scale of one to five, one being that we strongly disagree with the taking question and five meaning that we strongly agree with the take.

So we will see just how to hot your takes truly are. So Kiran, are you ready for another edition of hot takes Wednesday.

As I said to division last night, you can keep me away from many things and like, but not hot takes Wednesday. Let's get going.

Let's get going. And I'll let you know now in advance, there's a bit of a world championship sort of flavor.

Have you been reading the hot takes?

Well, I had to put them in the stream lab.

I have to watch a little bit of them, but you'll see if you see a theme. Trust me on this one.

You'll see what I'm going to use, especially see why we've hot take number one and we're going straight for the juggerna here.

Hot take number one, George Russell will win the 2023 world championship. And that's from a mod.

Hi, I'm Rob, good to see you. George Russell will win the 2023 world championship straight in with the juggerna care. And what do you reckon?

No, I think he'll be very impressive. I think you'll have a good season.
