The Oh, Oh, That was the sound of I TV's opening theme music from the 1998 World Cup in France.

This is World Cup Time Machine. I'm Andy Dawson. I'm

Sandilaney. And we've gone with I TV for this one rather than the BBC.

Yeah, I mean the I TV one is is always the yeah from what we've been doing so far it's always

but I feel they're always lazy they don't really make any attempt to link it into in

in 1994 they didn't even bother commission in any original music.

They just used the Darryl Hall song that had been...

Yeah, precisely.

So they're very lazy about it, but listeners if you stay tuned to the end, which incidentally those of you who haven't been

staying tuned to the end of our podcast which at times have been quite long you're

more for you because on many of the podcast the end is the best bit yeah like for instance if you'd been listening to our

1986 podcast and I got through to the end I believe it ran to eight hours it was it was

the it was the das boot of podcasts right if you is it dasboot the one that's

yeah super fucking on yeah so. So, if you didn't, you would have missed our now

legendary debate about Rats versus bats. So I just want to say from the beginning

before you really get balls deep into this

podcast don't be a dickhead listen to the end even if it's really long because we

might get into an interesting debate about which animals would win in a fight, but you will also hear the BBC theme tune, which is a talking point in itself.

I tell you what I like, I like how you've, that convoluted explanation there has already extended the length of this podcast on purpose

We're beyond what it needs to be like you're telling me that listeners might get bored after half an hour and I think to be honest I think like

fuck those listeners because they're not the listeners we want because yeah exactly they're

lazy they're lazy it's it's like I mean a lot of people this isn't for you all right to say
