| 0:07.0 | The Hi there. We're here with a special episode that we're recording with Aaron Connolly. Hi, Erin Connolly. Hi, Erin. Hi, Claire. How you doing? Thanks for having you. And we've also got Paul Carlin here for a chat. Evening. Nice to see you. |
| 0:45.9 | Good to be here. It's great to have Aaron back. So Aaron and I did a podcast about two and a half years ago together. And it was brilliant episode. We talked about mental health. We talked about |
| 0:54.5 | homophobia and football, but also we just talked about Celtic. And lots happened since then. |
| 0:59.8 | Yeah, I'm sure we'll cover a lot of that tonight. Yeah. Um, Erin, since we last saw you, |
| 1:04.5 | a lot's changed with Celtics. A lot has changed. Are you enjoying this, this era of Celtic? I mean, I think it's hard to be critical |
| 1:14.1 | over the season overall when you take a step back. I mean, I won't focus too much on what |
| 1:18.7 | happened into 8 9th of December because we can get a bit hyper about it. Still raging, |
| 1:22.9 | I know, I know. But I think when you take a step back, I mean, from Lenin being appointed |
| 1:27.3 | in the uproar of him being appointed in a shower by Peter Lowell, you know, and the lack of apparent leadership that showed at the club at the time, I think in fairness to him, he's stepped into the breach fairly well. He's probably dealt with a difficult situation at the end of the last season. But brought home the two trophies he had to. |
| 1:47.7 | We've won the first trophy this season, albeit probably undeserved on the day. |
| 1:50.6 | But it's hard to be critical. |
| 1:55.3 | I suspect it's going to be an interesting end to the season. |
| 1:56.5 | It's going to be Nipp and Tucker, I would say. |
| 1:57.5 | Are you nervous? |
| 2:01.8 | I am nervous. I am nervous. I am absolutely nervous. |
| 2:06.2 | But I'm also at a point where, I mean, we can panic about it and we can see all this fling money at it, do this and that. |
| 2:08.0 | I'm not sure that guarantees any more success than what we're doing right now. |
| 2:10.8 | So I'm excited about it, but I'm also really nervous. |
| 2:15.0 | And if 55 happens anytime soon soon I'll be going down |
| 2:19.0 | under for a few months and deleting all social media well make room for the rest of us |
| 2:23.2 | everyone's just going to go silent um so we're here um one of the things we wanted to talk to you |
