Summary

If you're a football fan then you'll be familiar with the pre-match pint. It's a magical pint full of excitement, discussions of tactics and - quite often - chanting. The post-match pint, however, is a differenet story. Will it be a pint of joy, or a pint of sorrow? Either way, football and pinting compliment each other perfectly, and this week's guest knows this only too well. It's presenter and host of Guardian Football Weekly Max Rushden!

Max grew up in Cambridge, and studied at Oxford; so he's well versed in the pubs of Oxford that played such an important role in the formative years of Landlord John and Robin. However, he's since decided to set up shop on the other side of the world... in Australia! Are we about to have our first ever Fosters-only pub? Probably not, but either way we can't wait to hear what he has in store.

1:10.8	closer. I can't get any closer.
1:11.4	I can't get any closer, no. I haven't thought it through.
1:14.6	How am I going to get this drink to you?
1:16.5	I could walk to the bar backwards.
1:19.8	Uh, might work.
1:21.8	But then how are you going to face the bar to know when I'm handing you the drink is my question.
1:27.0	Well, I think it will have to be like that improv game where you put, I have my arms behind my back and you have to sort of put your arms sort of under through my armpits to pretend to be my arms.
1:36.8	Yes.
1:37.0	You can kind of reach the pint through and sort of have to, you know.
1:40.2	Oh, like they used to do on, have I got news for you?

1:44.0	Oh, like they used to do on Have I Got News for you? No, whose lines it anyway, yeah. Oh, yeah.
1:44.7	Yeah, yeah.
1:45.4	It would have been weird if they did that what his slot did that.
