The Athletic FC Podcast Network

Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast.

I'm Joe Devine and I'm delighted today to be joined by JJ Ball.

Hello.

All right.

John McKenzie.

A vast there. Yes, well, then that's, of course. Ah, yes, sever me timbers. Ah, now I wonder if the listeners will be able to guess what the theme of today's Arpersold words. That wasn't very good, was it? And also, data scientist Mark Carey. Hello. Hey, Mark, how's it going? Very well. You learned a lot about Plymouth today. More than I cared to imagine. We didn't even mention Pistis as well on what Plymouth's famous for. Is that what Plymouth's famous for? Cornish Pesties. Is Plymouth in Cornwall? Yeah, hang on a minute. Is Plymouth in Cornwall? I'm not sure about this. Let's just double check.

I think we're stumbling to trouble here. Is Plymouth in Cornwall? We still didn't mention Pasty. Plymouth is in the port city of Devon. Okay, okay. Is a port city in Devon? The point still remains that we didn't mention Pardt. We didn't mention past east to be fair. Do you know what they do say down in Cornwall and Devon way?

Cream tea.

It's about the cream tea. And I am going to talk about cream tea. I knew it. I knew it. Because, of course, wherever I go, I gather to me facts about how to gain weight. And in Cornwall and Devon, of course, it's with the cream tea. It's eating, yeah. It's eating. Everywhere you go, it's eating. Occasionally, it's sort of putting stuff on yourself, but mostly it's just eating. Because of gain weight. If I were to layer myself with meat on the outside of the body and stand on some scales, I'd still be heavy, a little known fact there. But I could shed it more easily., listen, in Cornwall and Devon, of course, we all know, international listeners might not know what a cream tea is. A scone, a scone. Oh, you a scone, man? I say scone, I think. Oh, well, it starts off as a scone, but once you eat it, it's scone. I think some Americans refer to that as a biscuit. A biscuit.

Okay.

I just called Mark's jokes.

Yeah, he's getting some clap.

Congratulations, well, that, Mark.

That was the funniest thing you said all day. Thank you very. And it may continue to be as you go through the rest of the other. Thank you very much. Now, listen, it's a biscuit or a scone or a scone, and then there's a very thick double cream and then some jam, right?

And the order of events in which you place one on top of Tether is of great discord down in the south-west of England.

The Devonshire people say jam first and then cream first and then cream, I think.

And then the Cornish people say cream first and then jam.

I can't remember which way around they say it.

I like cream first and then jam. And as I've which way around they say it. I like cream first and then jam and as I've got to the end of this I realized it just wasn't worth saying any of it, was it? This is a football podcast you're listening to in your car or wherever you are. I do think there's an interesting point, isn't there? Because it's about what hits your tongue first, right? He said tongue. He said tongue. He did say tongue.

Do you say tongue normally?

Yeah.
