| 0:00.0 | Hey, what's up? O'Gilligan here. In my podcast, beginning middle and end, I sit down with big names and find out how they got started where they are now and the legacy they want to create. |
| 0:10.5 | And this week's episode is sponsored by British Airways and Tobago. |
| 0:14.7 | Now, I've got family in the Caribbean and I hear Tobago is even more untouched with relaxed, soulful vibes. And guess what? British Airways fly there. |
| 0:24.2 | Find me, Mo Gilligan, beginning, middle and end on Global Player. |

| 1:25.5 | lose another game, suddenly it gets very juicy |
| 1:27.7 | and they could be dropping into the qualifiers. Well, yeah, absolutely. And also, there have been a few |
