| 0:11.8 | We are finally here for one of the most highly anticipated videos podcasts that we do all year, predicting the entire table from last to first, and then |
| 0:27.5 | reflecting on it at the end of the year of just how bad, well, all good, sometimes, sometimes |
| 0:30.6 | good, ish, kind of, maybe one or two. |
| 0:33.7 | But I think with this one, we might well be truly cooked, Tommy, because it's a massive regulation shift. |

| 1:25.5 | It's going to be fascinating. |
| 1:26.7 | I'm sure every single one of you will agree entirely with our predictions. |
| 1:31.0 | But I'm going to put them there. It's going to be fascinating. I'm sure every single one of you will agree entirely with our predictions. |
| 1:31.1 | I just hope we disagree. |
| 1:33.1 | Now, if we have done, 20 second to first, the same top five like last year. |
