Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and I'm delighted to be joined today by JJ Ball.

0:10.7

Hello Joe. John McKenzie. Hello also Joe. And Sebastian Stafford Blore. Hello Joe.

0:17.0

Sounds a lot like John McKenzie again. That's because it is. Seb joined us for most of the show, but he's departed now by the time that we're getting to the end and doing the introduction. How confusing it is to live in our reality. Now, so many things on the docket this week. The ball on docket is Saven. Heven a plenty. Now, the first thing that we do is talk, as I'm sure

0:38.5

you'll understand, about Manchester United. And the two big news stories so far that have

occurred in our timeline, because it is possible that more will have occurred in the other

0:48.3

timelines that are available. Well, every single possible, kind of version of everything

0:52.5

would have happened in different timelines. In theory, imagine if that was the case, it would make doing a podcast both really frustrating and also quite fun, because you could just say anything you want and it would be true somewhere. Well, you live in your version of your timeline. I live in mine. John lives in his. I actually live in your version of your timeline. That's actually true. You do live in my version of that.

And that's where you decide.

1:55.8

I think it sounds really exciting, Joe.

1:58.1

Yeah?

1:58.4

Yeah, really exciting.

2:00.1

Yeah.

2:01.2

Okay, great.

2:01.8

That's also because later in the episode, we make John promise to up his positivity levels by 15% more than is appropriate.

2:09.5

And that's what you're hearing right there.

2:11.6

It's creepy.

2:12.7

It wasn't just you.

2:13.7
