Live scheduling may be subject to change. Full time supply. Hello everyone. Welcome to the Red Men TV. It is the buildup show. Some very, very inappropriate conversation pre-filver, which is fine. It's all over. Che. Yeah. Yeah. Come on, Cheap. Anyway, it is the buildup. We're playing Lester at the weekend. I'm Paul Mating, Chris Payt, actually, the studio. J. Pearson, Edeltsmith. Join us from home. Look, we're going to dive into the game, but we've had the news sort of come out just before we've gone live. There were rumours about Yeager and Klopp's mum being unwell.

I think it's important that we remember we have to re-humanize these people. I spoke a lot in the last week or two about how Fottie's become a teleprogram. And for some people, it was always that, but it was never that, you know, certainly wasn't that for me. It's always been a live and breathe and entity.
