Hello Grapple fans, hello Sweat fans and welcome to the return of the ITV slash STV Guinness Six Nations podcast.

I'm David Flatman. He is Tom Shanklin.

And we are going to be here for the entirety of a tournament that this time we can accurately and definitely and certainly say is going to be different from any other what we have seen before. I love this with your hand. Well, it's aggressive. I've got an actual mix I've done on my phone of you talking to some dance music.

Well, I saw Alan Partridge do it and then I saw Greg Wallace do it on Master Chef and he's

tasting and he's like, mm. And I thought, that is assertive. I'm going to do that. You're

going to copyright that. This is going to be a championship like no other. There's no fans.

There's no corporate jollies, which is a bit of a nightmare for you and for me.

Because I know you love doing your charity walks.

I know you love doing your charity dinners, minus your 20%.

But there's going to be no Six Nations breakfast, no Guinness Q&A's, no bacon butties, sausage butties.

Even though you're on a diet now. Can you tell? Yeah, I can actually.

Do you remember when we used to live together, we played at Sari's and there was that 20p machine

at the supermarket and you got on and it gave your height and weight.

And it gave me, it basically, he was like, how tall he was? I was like, six foot and half an inch. And it gave me five foot 11.

And then it went into the red zone.

It was like, consult your doctor.

I was like, no, no, I'm six foot, all right?

Yeah, same body mass as a water hog.

Yeah, very similar.

Same with port scratching.

No, been homeschooling.

How's that how much you forget, but I'm quite clever.
