| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Tifo Football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and I'm delighted to be joined today by JJ Bull. |
| 0:11.3 | Yes. John McKenzie. Hello. |
| 0:14.6 | And Sebastian Stafford Bloor. Hello. Yes, fantastic. Now, so much on the docket today. |
| 0:23.2 | There isn't. |
| 0:23.8 | But we are talking about Manchester United |
| 0:25.6 | because I think we're contractually required to. |
| 0:28.7 | I mean, everyone in the country has to be talking |
| 0:31.1 | about the biggest story that's ever happened. |
| 0:34.6 | They are bad, and we remembered they were bad. |
| 0:37.5 | We did know that before. But this has sort of helped us look at it in a different way again. |
| 0:42.9 | It is actually quite an interesting conversation. |
| 0:45.4 | I've really sold that one. |
| 0:46.7 | Then there's the Midway Game, a new variant of which has been decreed by a very smart listener. So look out for that bit. One of the members of the Bee Gees. One of the members of the Bee Gees. I don't really understand that. That joke, you tried to make it before and it went over my head, so I ignored it. It's called what the Beegies are called, isn't he? I don't know. Matt Jay Glyb. That's it. Is it Barry Gibb? It was Barry Gibb who suggested the rules. This is Matt J. Glib. Ah, okay. Yeah. It's close? Not really. |
| 1:48.0 | It made more sense than some of the jokes you made in this episode. That's not, which one? The one that we cut, obviously. Which one was that? Do a really bad one. I can't even repeat it. It'll just get cut if I repeat it. The thing is that actually could be true. I can't remember. Now, that was a really fun bit of the show. And then we've got, oh, a whole second half chat about Bayern Munich, who played by Leiburkuzon over the weekend. There was one one in that game, as you'll come to discover when we play points of bad later, it was very good news for me. But we talk about Vincent Company and Bayern Munich and our expectations for him and them. And ghost ships. |
| 1:50.0 | Yeah, there's a whole section where we chat about ghost chips, the nature of a ghost ship, |
| 1:55.0 | initially just the first stage definition of a ghost ship. |
| 1:59.0 | And how inspired quantum mechanics, I believe. Well, more of a philosophical conversation about whether a ghost ship is a ghost ship. And how it inspired quantum mechanics, I believe. |
| 2:01.5 | Well, more of a philosophical conversation about whether a ghost ship is a ghost ship in certain different scenarios. Interdimensional. So it might not be. I mean, it could be. You know, because that's part of the theory, right? A lot of these things you see that ghosts and that, they're just between dimensions. Yeah. Because all these people that talk about seeing ghosts, |
| 1:59.1 | they can't all be mad or wrong. |
| 2:00.9 | Well, yeah, I mean, that's, you know, you could say the same about all the people who thought that the rock, not the rock, not Dwayne Johnson, but rock. He was not cooking anything. He is real and not interdimensional. He might be interdimensional. You could say the same about all the people who thought they could smell what the rock was cooking. But they couldn't because he wasn't cooking anything. That's the thing about the rock. Not in this dimension. He never cooks anything himself, the rock. That's what I've heard. Now, Can you smell what my private chef is cooking? |
| 2:53.8 | Cous, coos. |
| 3:02.3 | And we also played points of bad at the end there where, you know, it was good. |
