Hi everyone, welcome back to this week's episode of the Real Talking Podcast with your host
Ash and JD.
It's the big fight night.
It isn't for everyone that's listening because it's the day after but for us it is.
It's a big fight night.
It's going to be a dead fight I reckon.
I watched some of the press conference, well I watched the press conference, I didn't watch
the weigh-in bit afterwards, well the face-off or the weigh-in because it just wasn't entertaining.
I could see fear in AJ's face and I just haven't got any high hopes for it.
It's just not looking like it's going to be a good evening for AJ anyway.
I was going to say there was a couple of pre-fights that looked like they were going to be tasty
but I'm just not feeling it for this main event.
No, I understand what you're saying.
With the main event though, you are thinking it's going to end in a knockout though.
I hope it does.
If it does end in a knockout, I think that AJ has not got any chance.
You don't think?
Have you seen any of the videos of Ingun Crew in the UFC with his boxing and all?
Yeah, yes.
It's just not on every time.
It's just fucking chaos.
I just feel like AJ, he's just past it.
He was never fucking really there apart from when he fought against Klitschko.
That was his peak, that was his best performance.
A little bit overhyped I suppose.
A little bit overhyped.
But do you not think though, him first in Joshua, he's never had anyone that punches
like Joshua?
Because every time I see Joshua punch someone, I'm like, that looks like he fucking hurts.
I'm sure it does.
No, no, but what I'm saying is, has he ever been punched like any Joshua can punch?
That's the question as well, I suppose that's what makes it interesting.
Yeah, we will see tonight.
But big guys though, aren't they?
They are, yeah.
After the units.
Because after the press conference, the first little face off, which isn't the proper one.
But yeah, AJ, fair enough, yeah, he's a big man.
And he did get a lot bigger from his earlier fights and that.
But he just, I don't know, just the way he's leaning back slowly is if he's afraid that
he's just going to get a little cheeky slap while standing there.
He just doesn't look confident whatsoever.
I saw a few things.
There was one where he's training at some gym.
I don't know if it was in America, but another boxer, I don't know who it was, was calling
him out from across the way and comes over.
And even then he looks scared as well.
Even though he's got all these people around, he still looks scared.
And it weren't until they've been pushed away from each other that he starts properly gobbling
off.
He's trying to stay calm, just saying, you're not in my eye line yet.
I've got these couple of fights coming up and that, and then you do what you've got
to do and we'll see where it goes.
And then as I say, once they got ushered away from each other, that's when he starts giving
it.
So why are you scared of him as well?
You act like the best in the world, but then you're still too scared.
I understand that boss is like Dicey and Dujash as the money fight.
Besides the Tyson Fury.
And who's that heavyweight?
Who's the heavyweight again?
Walda?
No, not Walda.
The little guy, the Ukrainian block, I suppose.
Usyk.
Yeah.
So outside them two, Joshua is the money fight.
And obviously he fights in Saudi Arabia all the time.
Obviously money.
So that's why I feel he gets, probably gets called out all the time by people just wanting
a bit of the money fight.
Yeah.
Well, I'm hoping it does reach higher than my expectations of the fight.
But yeah, it was just, he's just not engrossed in any faith in me.
You know, obviously I want to try and back him, you know, as the British fighter in that,
but he's just, he's not showing any, any faith.
He's not giving it out.
It's a bit strange as well, how we turn a Friday, you know, cause normally boxing events
on a Saturday.
I did find that strange.
Cause to be fair, I've not seen much about it long during this whole buildup.
And it was only earlier in this week that I saw, there was like a little bit of a promo
thing where they're both, um, when like street fighter rescue and that, uh, they were fighting
and not getting hit up into the sky and bouncing the back.
Then it was the one for Dukkan.
Yeah.
Uh, and then I think, I think it ended with them both getting slapped up by an old granny
or something, or I don't know.
I watched it.
Didn't really pay attention obviously.
Um, and then there was the, the one where he was slagging off, what's AJ listening
to on his AirPods.
And it was like, you know, you, you're a big man, you're strong, you're going to win.
And he's all, what, what, what the fuck's this?
Yeah.
Which I thought that was quite funny, but otherwise, yeah, there's not really been much
buildup.
The main things I have seen outside of any of the press conferences or anything though
is the leaked script for it.
So, but why does everything get leaked?
I know because we've seen it with loads over the last, well, at least 12 months anyway,
where there's a leaked script and it's a scorecards, um, what Brown are going down or whatever.
And, uh, there's a picture now I'm assuming it's AI generated because of how realistic
it looks, but it's both of them essentially to doing the, the rocket knockout or the double
knockout pose and I don't know what round, cause I've seen a couple of different ones,
not saying fucking seven, eight or 10th round or whatever.
So I don't know what round is actually on the script, but yeah, the record, it's going
to be a double knockout draw according to the script.
And so it leads to a second one in a couple of months time.
Yeah.
I think that's fine.
But I just wouldn't be surprised, as I said, because of how much of that I've seen compared
to the rest of the promo and I know the algorithms always push that when she finds something,
it will keep pushing it and that, but it's just, it's been shoved down my throat.
And I suppose that's what's added to the, when I'm seeing AJ's lack of enthusiasm and
not really saying much or not giving any game plan or anything.
So is it scripted then, does he already know that he's got this big payday and that he's
got the next one in the bag in a couple of months again?
I always feel like with boxing, you know, I think, I don't know how much to get in
pay for this fight.
I assume it's easy 20 million plus for any gesture and maybe 12 million, I think.
Yeah, because Fury said that it was like six or seven million that he earned for Engoglou
last time, wasn't he?
Yeah.
Was it okay?
So, you know, judging when you go for your career around it, you know, if you lose, you've
still done it in life.
So I don't know why they would script it in terms of, you know, why they would have to.
I don't know.
I mean, if they are, then it's got to be down to golden handshakes here and there and it
backhanders.
Because as I say, because how you're looking, I've seen leading up to it, I don't know who's
benefiting from it becoming a second or a third fight out of it as well.
Because that's, I know I said earlier that that's where Annie Joshua just seems to fight
now, Saudi Arabia doesn't it?
Because it's where it's getting all the money.
You would do any.
You would do if you could do four fights, 100 million quid.
Yeah, it's good to see that he has had a couple more fights over the last 12 months compared
to when he first come onto the scene.
Because once he got the total, he was...
It was a once or twice a year wasn't it?
Yeah.
Like, he started wasn't it?
Yeah, he literally was, though.
Probably every nine months.
And it just drug out too long.
It's mad because before Annie Joshua, I can't remember watching the boxing event.
So he has carried the sport in terms of viewership because he has, he has drawn more attention
to boxing.
Yeah, well, I remember staying up to watch Ricky Hatton.
Yeah, but that was like one, like, you know, a few and five between, do you know what I
mean?
Yeah, it was never often that I used to watch it.
I still don't really watch it these days.
I suppose that didn't happen.
The bigger fights were always in America where, as you said, you'd have to stay up till four
o'clock to watch it.
Yeah.
And I sat there.
And it's then even when it is over in O2 in the London, in the London, in London in the
O2, you can tell it's been a long day for me, Jesus.
You know, when it's going on till one o'clock in the morning, then it's always, it still
has to be so late.
So that's the good thing about it all.
I think it's meant to be around 11 o'clock for the main card.
So hopefully it's worth staying up for.
I mean, I'm going out, so I'm planning on coming back before then.
So yeah, hopefully I don't miss too much in the pre-fights as well.
Otherwise I might have to do a little cheeky rewind and watch some of them.
Well, watching tomorrow before any of the football, which, yeah, I'll get onto the
football a little bit because our mate James, fucking non-scouse James, is the email again
and I was there.
Yeah, but going from one scripted fight to another scripted fight anyway, I saw the news
come out the other day that Jake Paul and Mark Tyson are having a fight.
Yeah, I seen it just.
It was literally yesterday for myself.
So April 6th is when it's going to be and it's on Netflix.
I don't know if we're still going to have to pay a pay-per-view for it or anything yet,
but it's just the promo that I saw.
Well, it started off with a TikTok video where it's showing Mark Tyson in the ring, you know,
he's hitting the pads and when your man's got the body bag and that and he's like bam,
bam, bam and he's moving quick as well.
And it was just the caption saying, look, Jake Paul's got this to go.
I was like, what's going on there?
So clicked on the link, saw what was happening, saw the promo video.
And saw what Jake Paul had to come.
Well, what's got to come.
Yeah, I can't believe, no fair play, just to have the balls standing in the ring with
him and know that he's going to get a punch.
I think he's balls at it.
Again, I feel like look, I just said with money, sometimes he's 50, isn't he?
Like, look, I'm going to be the same as my Tyson's mama, so, you know, it's not going
to be the same as, you know, as prime Tyson.
But again, it's just money, mate.
Money makes you do loads of things.
So if he's going to earn, I can only imagine how much you're going to earn from that once.
So win, lose or draw, he's done it.
Yeah, I think because I've not seen any speakers for it or anything, but I think that's going
to be a bit between at least on that.
It makes you think that because it's, I know it's getting, it's getting how in American
football arena, isn't it?
I think that is called the IT stadium.
I think it's called IT stadium.
Anyway, it's 80,000 starting capacity.
So obviously, so that and that makes me think what you just said about Netflix.
They've got to earn some money from me.
Yeah.
And then they've been putting the, the policies on with the ads.
Yeah.
Well, there's that.
And then cause prime have just done it as well.
Yeah.
With the ads.
Yeah.
Cracks me up that does cause my, my membership was before the law changed that you have to
pay extra not to have the ads now.
And I know that there's a lawsuit going against them that.
So obviously because it was sold as no adverts or anything.
So it's false advertisements.
So there's a cease and desist to stop this extra subscription and to refund people that
have already been charged for it.
Okay.
It will be something that goes on for a long time.
I can't see it any time soon, you know, cause Amazon, they've probably got the same lawyers
as Mancita.
So they'll be able to force it for a long time.
Unlimited.
Yeah.
Literally is all the money.
I think everything.
Yeah.
So yeah, that's, it's going to be, it's going to be, it's going to be, it's going to be
an interesting one.
I'll definitely watch that one.
The thing with the Mike Tyson one is if it is in America, it'd be an awkward time as
we were just speaking about.
Hopefully it isn't.
I hope they can, they can amend it.
So it's, you know, that one would be better if it's on a Friday night.
Cause I always thought when you as a kid watching boxing sat down to Sunday.
Yeah.
Good shit.
But is that a heavyweight?
It looks to be.
Mike Tyson was a heavyweight.
Yeah.
And he's still a big man.
I'm sure he fights as middleweight doesn't he?
I'm sure he fights as middleweight.
Cause Tom if you're always middleweight.
Yeah.
So he'd have to put some size on there.
But the last I did see, cause I think it was a, I think it was an Indian boxer that pulled
up outside of his house because Jake apparently had been saying something about him.
And so he pulls up and starts giving it to him.
Verbally, nothing else.
Didn't start bombing him.
But Jake might be into that.
I don't know.
So on that clip anyway, I saw, he does look a bit bigger compared to his earlier boxing
days anyway.
Be interesting to, I imagine it's going to be classed as an exhibition again, isn't it?
So they're not going to really go for a knock out.
But it'd be interesting to see when the press conference and that comes out because is Jake
still going to give all the shit talk?
Like he has done to everyone else.
Cause obviously we remember from back in the day, Paul's just going to get up and just
fucking bolt his hair off straight away.
Imagine if he does that though.
Fuck you.
Yeah.
There must be some odds on that happening.
Yeah.
There'd have to be a bit.
I would put a tenner on it as well.
That'd be funny that would.
Excuse the ring door valve.
It's, you know, not for everyone.
Yeah, well, we're still on the, the scripted notions anyway.
I keep seeing it.
I don't know why it keeps popping up on my, my feed anyway, but I don't know if you've
seen any of the current WWE what's going on.
Oh yeah.
The tribal tree.
Yeah.
So Roman Reigns and then the rock, they're all family now.
So yeah.
The bloodline.
Yeah.
And then, you know,
I've got a family in real life though, through Samara.
Like, you know how that, because it's not, it's bloodline as such, but yeah.
Yeah.
But you know, I'm, I'm related to every Irish person as well on that bloodline.
I mean, you know, it's, it's just all bollocks.
But yeah, they're having the beef with Cody Rhodes and I don't, because I'm just seeing
clips.
I don't, I don't sit there and watch wrestling anymore, but I know that it's leading up to
WrestleMania.
Yeah.
And then the rock is going to be the main event.
And I've seen a lot of videos of Stone Cold Steve Austin hitting the gym.
Yeah.
I've seen some as well.
And he's looking in good shape.
Yeah.
And so I've got a feeling that it's scripted for him to shove up and, and that kind of
whoop ass to fucking the rock.
See all I think with Stone Cold, it won't be WrestleMania.
I think it's when they go back to Saudi Arabia for the money.
Cause they do an event there of your own Saudi right now.
Actually.
Yeah.
And, uh, because they're like all the old wrestlers, but obviously, you know, like Undertaker
and that obviously they're like 60 now and that.
So for me, I think it'd be more towards past WrestleMania.
Be good if he comes back WrestleMania.
And then obviously I think that's what it's for because the money, as we said, so you
got to turn down.
But he isn't, you know,
His knees were always shot, but you know, it was just the entertainment for him.
Wasn't he?
Yeah.
I used to watch that original WW attitude.
Oh yeah.
Just couldn't beat it as well.
Kurt Angle, Chris Jericho.
Yeah.
Obviously the rock Triple H on the type of big show.
There was just goodly boys.
Yeah.
The generation X and actual molecules.
Jerry the King, his commentaries commentators were just perfect.
Yeah.
I mean, just the way that Jerry the King would always perp when the women come out as well.
He'd love it on the bikini matches now.
Fucking hell.
Funny gazers.
Yeah.
So just because I keep saying that, it's just bringing the old nostalgia, all the feels
back.
So I'm thinking I might end up watching WrestleMania as well.
But again, that's until four o'clock in the morning.
Yeah.
It's over two days now, isn't it?
Is it?
They have two shows in WrestleMania.
Jesus.
God.
So they have a sat die one with a sat die mine event.
Well, they have been.
They've had a sundy mine event.
So how does that work then?
Did they split it up because they have pro and not raw and sat die and not smackdown?
I haven't watched it for about two years, but it used to be like smackdown on one and
then raw on the other one.
But I haven't watched it for a few years.
It's strange that it's because you'd think that they'd still split it up.
No, no.
Because they're more exclusive to each one.
So raw and smackdown are owned from different TV companies in America.
So yeah.
So you're signed to that TV channel.
I don't know how he works exactly, but I think that's how it is.
I might be wrong now, but that's how he was.
I don't know.
Yeah.
I haven't properly watched it for years.
It's not the same.
I like, I used to like Chris Jericho with The List and The Miz.
Just because people that can talk on the mic.
I think it was probably just as The Miz was first coming around.
That was sort of the back end of when I was watching it.
But I know he, well, I don't know if he is still in, but last year at least, maybe the
year before he was a lot more popular.
I don't know.
You could put it on.
I wouldn't have a clue who the majority are.
Yeah, same.
I really wouldn't.
Because again, we've gone to the clips.
The Rock was about to look.
Doobie's fucking fallen on the beach.
And then Roman Ryan just put his hand down and stopped him.
And I was just looking at the gazer in the back and I'm thinking, is that Rakesh's son?
Do you remember Rakesh?
Yeah.
What's his name now?
He went Jai.
So it was, I noticed someone screaming who he was.
Yeah, carry on, mate.
I can't remember his name.
I don't know.
I was just thinking, I wasn't, because I just knew it was bullshit.
It's trying to lead to another drama for the rest of my year.
And I was just thinking, he looks just like Rakesh.
Is that his son?
Because obviously-
I know who you're on about.
It's a common theme.
I think you might be on something there.
But it's a common theme because obviously the Rock's dad or uncle were professional
wrestlers.
Cody Rhodes.
He's the son of Goldberg.
And then there's someone else for that.
And Cody Rhodes, the son of Dusty Rhodes.
Gold Dust, sorry.
Gold Dust.
Because when Cody Rhodes first came in, he was dressed as a young Gold Dust.
Yeah.
Not silver dust or something.
Yes, you are right.
Yeah.
And his granddad was a wrestler as well, wasn't he?
Might have been.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sola, that's his name, the wrestler's name.
I'm just trying to see now if he is Rakesh's.
His train boy, Rakesh.
Probably got the same diet as mine.
Oh yeah, Rakesh is his dad.
So that was just because I saw him behind the two of them.
So Roman Reigns is his cousin in real life.
Jay and Jimmy, who saw his brothers.
Okay.
So that must mean obviously Rakesh is dead as well.
So that's actual bloodlust.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's the rock just hopping on it for no reason any time, any.
He must be getting some mega money to return back to the WWE.
Because you think of how much he's been earning from all the films and that.
You know, he's a, he's, he's Valkyrie, isn't he?
Or is it a gene?
Tequila.
Yeah, the tequila that he's got out and that.
You know, his names on a lot of films and projects and that worldwide as well.
So to think he's getting paid more to go back into the ring again.
And since WWE have been brought out, obviously you can see they're pumping a lot more money
into it.
Well, again, because I've only seen a couple of bits, but what's happening with Vince McMahon?
Because I know he's nothing to do with any more.
Yeah, no, he resigned in after that scandal.
What was the scandal?
I didn't see any of it.
Apparently it was sex trafficking, sex trafficking women, women wasn't there?
I haven't read too much.
I know it was always a bit of a further to be fair.
And then I saw there was like an interview with Stephanie.
I don't know, he tried to do a storyline of she was pregnant and he was going to end up
as being Shane's or something.
Not to her brothers.
But she was like, no, that's, that's too far for me.
So I says no to him.
I didn't see and I said, I never looked into it.
No, I saw the article, but I didn't, I didn't read into it as well.
But it was different times though, Ernie.
You know, the eighties and nineties, it was all acceptable.
It was fine.
You know, just be a perv, be a dirty old man.
I remember, cause he didn't have an affair with, was he Stacey Keebler in the attitude
era or something like Linda McMahon was like paralyzed.
Do you remember there was a bit where she was in a wheelchair for a bit.
Yeah.
And I'm sure like then he had like Stacey Keebler.
I don't know, I remember there was a...
Yeah, it was that when, like she was dressed as in like a woman's suit.
Yeah.
With the short skirt and he's got the office desk in the middle of the room and she's like,
I don't know, she puts her leg on the table.
And Jerry the King's just fucking loving it.
You wouldn't be surprised if he was under the fucking desk just tugging on your little
car.
I remember the Pops though, when Stone Cold used to come out, but it's not the same.
I remember when Stone Cold used to fight Booker T backstage and like he used to go everywhere
like where did they go?
They went into a church and like, I don't know what they're called mate, where you make
confessions.
Yeah, just a confession book.
And he's down in his court and like he's in there, Stone Cold's in here with Stone Cold.
Yeah, just like the coffee match, the death match or whatever coffee match.
So we'd be buried alive and it'd always be the Undertaker and you'd just sit back up
again and just like, you say you couldn't script it, it was scripted.
Just about it being the celebration with Stone Cold, Stone Cold getting the beers chucked
at him and that and he'd pass the beer to someone else.
They'd have a sip and then he'd still stun her up.
How did they not know that that was going to happen?
They've seen it happen to everyone else that he's done that to.
So why is it not going to happen again?
I used to stun her, everyone I didn't know.
Oh it was amazing.
Vince Shane.
Yeah.
I've seen a TikTok today actually where he's stunned Vince McMahon.
Shane McMahon come down, he's stunned him.
Stephanie came down, he's stunned her and Linda McMahon come down, he's stunned her
and all four of them were just stunned in the ring.
Fuck you that.
Well I think it was, yeah it must have been like a Royal Rumble or something.
Well most likely a Royal Rumble because I just remember there was like 20 in a row,
he's just in the ring for like five minutes and it's just stunner after stunner.
It was just bodies everywhere, chaos.
I need the old Stone Cold.
I remember that one.
Yeah, no that was great when I was growing up watching.
Oh god it was quality.
Again, I suppose you can't do it these days but as a kid and you play fight and doing
the wrestling moves and that.
Well it was trying to do a stunner on your daughter, no.
Definitely not now because she's still a baby but you know you try and do that in 10 years
of time you probably get the police called on you.
Yeah so I think I'll probably end up watching WrestleMania as well.
It's an interesting couple of, again I don't even know when WrestleMania is.
You'd have to start, if you were going to watch WrestleMania I'd start watching like
Smackdown or more again just to build yourself up.
Oh yeah I'd have to do a couple of weeks.
Or just carry on watching TikTok because that's where they give me all these videos for the
bloodline.
It's mad because it's people watching it and giving their commentary.
Yeah and you're watching that person give their commentary while they're watching it.
I've still got the clip on the bottom.
These people are proper invested and one of the ones I was watching anyway, I don't know
what was going on and I was giggling to myself and thinking this is my version of watching
the United Stand and that because even though they don't show the game I'm still listening
to them while watching the game and that.
Fair play man, people are making money off of you.
So hopefully you guys can start supporting us more so we can earn money off of this.
As always keep sending in the emails and the text messages.
I'll try and remember the number up but, oh again 07 470 488 096.
It will be in the description on the YouTube bouncing around on the screen whatever.
Yeah keep them coming.
And since I've already said his name I might as well start off with James.
He could have whited a message.
So literally it was, you know he'd had one job and the battled it again.
We will show you how it's done on Sunday.
Oh because they're bursting Man City aren't they?
To be fair Sunday is looking good for football.
Yeah because Arsenal Spurs and Liverpool Man City.
It's going to be a good weekend I reckon.
Proper games.
Yeah that's what Super Sunday should be when it's the four top teams.
Yeah not Barney vs Luton on a Monday night.
Yeah fuck that.
So yeah I'll be looking forward to this Sunday.
Good full weekend of sports really in a sense because as I said with the boxing tonight.
And isn't the Graham the F1 on Saturday as well?
I don't.
I might be wrong.
I'm sure that's not Saturday as well this year.
Never look at anything to do with the Formula One.
People love that don't they?
They do.
I can't get into it but I know.
I can understand watching it on the TV but I just don't get why you'd want to be in
the atmosphere.
The stands watching.
Yeah like Silverstone or whatever just to see.
Yeah not for me.
No it is.
You are literally just going to see like the G20 cars like two seconds at a time every
minute and a half.
I'm going to offend a few if not all Americans right now.
NASCAR like it's just a circle.
At least you get to see the whole thing.
That would be better viewing boards.
But yeah I'm straight.
Oh I'm turning left again.
Oh I'm straight.
Oh I'm left again.
You know like in America they have those restriction derbies.
That'd be great.
I used to love them games as well.
On the old PS1 just bashing up everything.
And then Ricky Bobby.
What's the film called now?
Because it was Will Farrell only.
Is it the Ballad?
The Dragonites?
Yeah it's Dragonites.
Something like that.
Yeah the Ballad of Ricky Bobby.
That's it.
Yeah that was a good film.
Most of Will Farrell's films were good though aren't they?
Yeah they can't make those kind of films no more can they?
No.
What's Step Brothers?
God the other guys.
The other guys yeah.
Ain't full of bush.
The Rock.
Rocking House.
Greek TV.
But anyway James.
Yeah fuck off.
What happened?
Sorry if Liverpool do it as well what are you thinking and do you reckon now?
Good for the loop then?
Well with the momentum that Arsenal have got at the moment.
So you're still going against them?
Yeah Liverpool are really going to struggle on Sunday.
I'm saying this in general.
So Salah should be back and a couple of other players.
Yeah because he was back yesterday wasn't he for the Europa game?
I didn't even pay attention to any of that last night.
Yeah they won four of them.
Yeah so I haven't looked at the scores.
I know that the Man City game for the Champions League was free to watch on prom the other
nights as well.
Oh was it?
Yeah but I didn't even bother.
I just knew it was going to be Man City win and I think they were not far when I was thinking
about it.
Three-one.
Yeah you just know that they're going to score don't you?
Yeah but the game I mean I would have been happy with a draw obviously and the fact that
we didn't get completely battered you know they should have and could have easily had
eight or nine goals but probably Ananas best performance you know debatable that he could
have been man of the match for United and it was just it was good until Man City scored
that first goal and then it was like they're just ah that's it now we've lost.
So yeah it's just because I watched the well also listened to the overlap podcast with
Gary Neville and that and because Oddie's going to Solskjaer was on it the other day
and he basically just come out and says a lot of the players just give up he knew that
the game was he was getting sacked next day and half time he just says to the lads look
you know if you don't want to play put your hand up and you're coming off and the two
players that come off at half time with Marcus Rashford and Scott McTominay and obviously
ended up losing that game only got sacked the next day but just you know he was saying
that there was a lack of leaders in the team no one wanted to be captain and this and that
the owners the board whatever didn't back him the way he should have done he says to
boy Harland while he was managing him and then after he'd already gone as well says
to boy him he says he you know that he's got a 20 million euro release clause get him and
man you know he goes oh no we don't want him not for that money as well you think fucking
you know the money they're spending on now yeah the money they're based on players and
when you know he could have got Harland wherever he would have come on I don't know because
obviously Royal King just battled his bat and you wouldn't know if he would have become
the player he is if he weren't there yeah I don't think he would have progressed to
the same levels you know the same as if you Bellingham would have signed yeah he wouldn't
have had the same coaching and that and also he wouldn't be you know debattably world class
as he is at the moment but yeah back to this Sunday though really I'd like Liverpool to
win just so it stops Man City getting a treble essentially if they because I can't see because
Arsenal doing too well in the Champions League no and then because I lost the ball I didn't
know last week yeah and Real Madrid are they as strong as Man City I don't think they are
so I think it's Man City's cup to to win again so yeah it's it's down to Arsenal or Liverpool
and if he was going to ask me honestly I'd want Arsenal to win it because fuck the Scousers
I just want to because Man City's won the last three times in a row in the Premier League
yeah before years in a row I'd like to win Arsenal yeah I don't mind if they've bought
Arsenal to be fair I do like I do I do like Liverpool more than Arsenal just because I
like clapping some of the players Liverpool ago yeah well I know there's a lot of a good
feeling around the Liverpool fans these days because win or lose they're still happy with
what what's happened on the clock essentially so they're all in a good mood but I feel like
I get what you're saying with that but I feel like obviously they've won the league cup I
think they've just got a little bit of momentum now yeah they should do because essentially
it's theirs to lose you know so it's can they keep keep the momentum you know can they still
keep fighting with all the injuries that they have got even though they've got the players
coming back so yeah be interesting I think if they beat Man City then it is theirs to
lose yeah I think 100% you just can't Man City are just fucking different and they'd
have got too much well you just know because how many times over the years have they had
a bad start to the season and then they just go and win every other game and you know that
they've got that that they can always just go and win 15 games on the bounce yeah it's
just not okay and it's nothing to them and it's ridiculous yeah why do you just win in
15 games to see is that I know well yeah it's it's it's hard but because leading up to the
the derby on the weekend as well I kept seeing these bloody videos of look so I'm guessing
one woman done it and all these girls started jumping on the bandwagon so basically the
women were recording the boyfriend secretly and saying you need to just stop being a man
you know what you've found why don't you just be a city fan or whatever and the majority
of them says why don't I just get another girlfriend then why don't I just get another
wife or whatever and it's just they don't understand and it is in general it's football
you can't just stop and support a different team you have you have to just once you've
got one you have to stick with that yeah that is true it is true but it's horrible for me
if I didn't support Birmingham I wouldn't support anyone else like in context what you're
saying I wouldn't I wouldn't have gone and supported someone else then it just it just
be them or no one yeah yeah and I think that's what I'd end up doing especially because I
keep seeing the fucking rumors flying around at Southgate in the pipeline as well as Brown
Potter and that honestly you just need to get on the thing about what's his name again
Mark Goldbridge but it's just frustrating because England they should be winning the
major trophies you know we've got the Euros coming up they should at least won one by
now yeah but Southgate still plays fucking two defensive midfielders against like Lithuania
Calvin Phillips and fucking Henderson Starling yeah you know with the abundance of great
talent that England have got a lot for players and to still pick the players that aren't
playing week in week out and that just because he trusts them he logs them you know games
for the boys and whatever it's just ridiculous and I can't see look he's sure going to Middlesbrough
he's not going to be any goods you know put it this way would Liverpool go for him when
Klopp go? No chance. Would they go for Graham Potter? No chance. I don't know about that
actually. Now from what happened at Chelsea the way he couldn't handle the players and
stuff yeah but that's like an ego thing and he was some players I think yeah and I know
why that club is because I've got a history of players doing that and you know so yeah
we've ordered downs all that yeah and I go through manager every season so yeah but I
still don't I wouldn't see him going for not these days anyway I wouldn't see him going
for Graham Potter maybe back in the day when they were happily getting Brendan Rodgers
and stuff but I mean I couldn't even see a current Tottenham going for Graham Potter
now a couple of years ago they would have done but not now especially you know Angie's
doing well which would be interesting to see how he does next season but yeah this we was
on about a week there's not enough big name managers out there to make you think yeah
have that one have that one. Let's give you confidence. Yeah so it's yeah but I don't
think Liverpool are going to win on a weekend and I don't think they're going to win the
league anyway so yeah. What if not you know you get a message? Well yeah it'd be interesting
to see if he's quiet this weekend or not. Thanks for your email. Yeah cheers James.
I feel like I'm going to have to start a podcast with James call it the Undertaker or something
I'll just take the piece out of the overlap because it must I know the friends in real
law but it must be odds you play it against each other you had all these rovers on that
on the pitch and then now you're on Scholesports and a podcast and that together. God I mean
suppose someone's got to do it with him. Yeah so look out for that one coming out soon the
Undertaker. Yeah fucking hell look at that. If I was going to do it I'd have to do it
with a proper score so I will not. So yeah on to more correspondence anyway. So we've
got Lauren and she has emailed in saying have you ever found anything in your home that
was left by the previous owner? Oh yeah I have actually. What did you find? A perinic
has been on the radiator. Oh shit yeah. There was a kinky couple you could tell like from
what the alarm was 6969 and the mirrors in the room and everything but yeah yeah perinic
is yeah. Yeah I forgot about that. Yeah. God they made Adam's day didn't they. In mine
well because I've moved a fair few times I don't think there's ever really been nothing
noteworthy. There was a job that I did a couple years ago though it was changing the loft
like that well putting in a loft like that because there never used to be one and as
we was moving the loft insulation there was a gun underneath it. It was an old I can't
remember the brand. Smith & Wester. No no the company they mainly make shotguns but
this one it was just a revolver or whatever basically because I did do a little research
on it at the time it was a lot from pre-World War I or something so I'm guessing it was
like an ex-army old boy that used to live there originally he'd stored it in the loft
because even a lot of people who was doing the job for who was like fucking hell this
was in your loft. Didn't have a clue didn't know nothing about it. Wasn't me but the other
lad took it to the antique shop and he just says yeah you can't sell this or anything
fucking because essentially if you found the right bullets for it it would still be usable
so he was like look you can either hand it into the police station but you'll get questioned
or you can give it here and I can go and get it fucking melted. Yeah I'm sure he did.
Because he wouldn't have been able to sell it himself. No no but some obviously I don't
know how he works over here but if you've got an artifact like that you can claim ownership
of it and then you'd be able to sell it so it's not just I don't think it's like what
that person said where you're going to say to the police because obviously it's an artifact
as such as you said probably pre-dates World War I probably a bit of money in here especially
if it's a rare gun as well. Yeah but I couldn't see much on it that I couldn't see any value
for it or anything when I did look. Yeah there wasn't a great deal of that model that was
made either but yeah he was like you're not going to be able to sell it so yeah he just
fucking give it to him and he literally saw him just chuck it in his bucket which had
like a load of other scrap metal and whatever yeah he said he'd just get it melted down.
Loving on that nothing spectacular a lot of the time it's just junk that I find in people's
lofts. It's more annoying to what they leave like on purpose like when we bought this house
tyres in the shed slabs in the alleyway like you know like a dog cage upstairs like in
the attic so it's just like that's got left on purpose but it's that's an annoyance but
yeah apart from that that's it really. Yeah well now thank you for you. Yeah thanks right
and then we've got one from Miles again what games you've been playing so obviously not
asking you because you did say last week you still not been playing anything missing out
man looking for something new to play so it's I have got the Final Fantasy 7 rebirth not
played any of that yet but I want to play the first one again because I think it carries
the levels over and whatever look plus because I've done it on the PS4 whatever trophies
are there they won't be on the PS4 so just to get the story back in here again because
it's been like fucking six years since it was first released so I will do that first
but otherwise it's Trails of Cold Steel Legend of Heroes but I missed the first three games
I didn't realise until I started playing through them and if I wasn't so far into them I would
go back and play the original ones but I did look I'd have to do it on Steam which again
having time plus it'd be on the laptop and I haven't got enough room on the laptop to
do it all and whatever but yeah three of those but yeah Legend of Heroes it's a whole saga
so what is it the three there's like ten games so yeah it's because it can sort of continues
over and over maybe it's good yeah I just think I've got enough time to crack on through
it as I'd like to. That's what I was about to say just we spoke about it before when
it comes to games just doesn't seem to be enough hours and days for you anymore when
you was younger it just seemed to be so unnatural didn't think too much into it yeah but like
as you get older it's like I'm gaming it's like it's a bit late now and then you don't
even talk the next day yeah but I have been finding a couple of days because the beginning
of the week Monday Tuesday Wednesday the missus is working away so instead of watching TV
I will play for a couple of hours after I've got back from work walk the dog yeah I'll
be working that routine of playing it yeah so instead of when I was watching like an
hour or two of whatever TV programs I'm using that time to play the PlayStation but yeah
it's just trying to find a little bit well again it's mainly on a Sunday then as well
when the missus is out for the whole day depending on football and stuff so this weekend there'll
be no time for it because I'll be recovering from tonight to fortnight and then straight
on half to I'll kick off tomorrow which is today for everyone that is listening as it's
come out on the Saturday 10am and then yeah all Sunday football all day Sunday so probably
a couple hours on Sunday morning depending on again weather related because a lot of
Saturdays I'll go out for a good couple of hours in the morning so yeah but yeah keep
out for that I enjoy those RPG games I was about to say they're my favourite corner games
as well where you can just roleplay yeah yeah but they've got to have like a good story
and sorry Joe they have a good story and not too much going on in terms of no look I don't
like games where you have to cook your own meals yeah shit like that where you have to
make recipes and find stuff yeah you can do that on this on on these games as well but
you don't have to you know yeah you can get essentially it's just all for trophies these
days though but you don't need it to be able to continue to gain because I did play another
one I can't even think of a name now but essentially she's a witch and you've got to find stuff
to do recipes in your cauldron to be able to continue it's still it was still a fighting
game and I know an RPG but yeah that that was a bit long-winded because it was that
you do have to do these to be honest levels through the cooking essentially to be able
to make something even better to be able to do the next and that's the thing that I don't
like about RPGs I like the game I like the story it's got a good story by the way yeah
which that's what I've enjoyed this one yeah but it just does I don't mind side missions
and everything but it's just like when you have to cook if your energy is getting low
you can't power whatever I just feel like fuck me just save and you know like Grand
Feinth Daughter yeah you know what I mean there was the other one I can't think Chronicles
or something and they were really good games as well because there was a couple of those
I'm just quickly trying to find what it was called it was it's on the on the switch because
it's kind of like a keyblade thing but the Kingdom Hearts keyblade yeah they're good
games actually oh we should to be fair if I would have properly read that email I would
have Xeno yeah Xeno Blades Chronicles right I know you're on about yeah yeah so there
was one on the Switch U which I haven't played but then I've played one two and three on
the Switch and again open world and you can literally just explore fight the random monsters
and that and the story was good on that as well I think there's another one coming out
at some point well I'm just googled off six years on about keyblades if there's whether
it be Kingdom Hearts five and apparently it has been confirmed just like June 14 2026
now also Kingdom Hearts just have a banger of a sound is it no soundtrack an opening
song yeah one and two big tunes mate I still never finished three that's another one I
have to fucking I play number four sorry number four yeah I've played number four two or three
times now and got to the same points I play every time yeah it has been that long since
I played it I would have to start yeah you'd have to yeah just get the story back yeah
not even just a story though for the controls about to bite and all that oh yeah with this
one yeah yeah yeah because you got the different fucking buttons and combos and that any you
just bash X and that lot the old ones no but no thank you for your email again so have
a look out for them ones but yeah if you've got enough time then definitely fucking goes
on because the stories can just plod on through and that and yeah they're worth the hours
but they are so long these days as well because it's I don't know the one of them it was like
60 hours that it took for me to complete it but that was because it's got like a turbo
mode as well as it was it is slow you're walking around it's just dragging so it's got the
turbo and then when it's the the dead quest that you don't really need it's nothing it's
not contributing to the story you can skip all the text and the scenes and that so if
I didn't do that it probably fucking 150 hours of gameplay or something I think we spoke
about before on the podcast remember did you my world yeah fucking hard was that to get
you like did you want to a decent get a decent one as well yeah that first one on the ps1
did you want world and you'd get so far because they had the lifespan and you get it to a
certain point and then they thought you'd have to start off with an egg again build
it up and god it used to take ages I remember I had digi card battle the game was ps1 absolute
smash life I loved it loved it and literally just playing cards but like you'd see the
like the battle sequences fuel and I got right to last boss obviously chipped ps ps when
you're on my name ones we had to upside down I kept crashing on the bus and it got to the
point where I must have tried it about 100 times done this about 100 times halfway through
always crash no matter what piss me off I should have brought the game though and he
was yeah I would have been alright or would it though because it was even a cheap game
yeah no so the it was the console that was cheap yeah but the discs were just yeah so
the same oil still fine the data on the disc is still the same it's just basically so that
would it made the console read a non-playstation disc right okay no no I didn't I should have
brought the game and I didn't have the money I was a kid I used to love that because he
was he'd get a lot the same as old knockoff DVDs you get three games for like a tenner
and that got old days what me and my brother used to do used to go to the market to get
the cheap games because the guys who chipped that PlayStation used to go to a market I
can't remember where it was now and I think I want to say it was two four five of the
games was what me and my brother used to do was like see a game we want take the disc
out of here and put it into another game we want so we had two discs in one sleeve and
then get another then obviously pick another game so essentially we had three games for
the price of two and then I can you do this yeah yeah five they just give me five I'm
out three games out of it yeah thief yeah well you did grow up in Stetford yeah it's
getting on a bit but we will just quickly rattle through these are whatsapps send them
in the number 07 470 488 096 text messages whatsapps still no titty pictures this week
which do not send them in don't want you to send them in you're gonna get a big pic
I was surprised that one wasn't sent to you yeah literally I was expecting it after coming
out of that last week some little maggot looking James so abs he's back on it he says we need
the goss don't let us down Steve oh yeah yeah so I'll read Steve's message then hi lads
only bad news this week we went out for a drink but he literally had three points and
left so no new updates as of yet but hang in there I'll let you know as soon as I can
so yeah fair play Steve he has got everyone good dirty store yeah I don't want to know
what's going on there's a million questions everyone wants to ask yeah does anything that
you want us to ask Steve on your behalf then that was well obviously for Steve's mates
unless you want to ask Steve a question yeah and then the message again from Carl how many
footballers houses have you pooped in this is a great question actually so yeah I'm
sorry so the first one was Chris Brunt's which I know we've said the story on one of the
earlier podcasts but that was literally I'm sure it was a sad I was working there but
yeah I needed to go to the toilet but the other builder had just used the downstairs
toilet and it stunk the hole at the ground floor right and I was like I ain't using
that so I've gone up first bedroom I've gone into well the first door I've gone in so it
was a big room I've clocked the ensuite so I've gone in and then you've ended up ringing
me I was like mate yeah I'm having a shit and I didn't know whose house it was yeah
I'm going to be staying at Westborough yeah and so I found the picture which was his wedding
picture sent it over to you and you rang up laughing straight away you thought you're
in Chris Brunt's house so yeah Chris Brunt's, Jamie Bardy before they won the Premier League
I know you've done Matthew Loutan's as well yeah Loutan that was when he was playing for
Villa because the plasterer fucking he's a blue nose and he was writing BCFC fucking
on random things all over the place there's a chair by the front door for me it would
be one that you'd sit on to put your shoes on or have a look but to be fair you wouldn't
want it because the chair was probably like a ten grand chair it was like this white leather
thing high back and this and that and yeah literally just lay it down onto its back and
wrote it in permanent marker on the fucking base of it oh you feel fucking hell man yeah
he was a miscant anyway so we didn't really give a fuck there's been a couple rugby players
but you know I'm not really into rugby I can't even think of the names of them I nearly went
to Gareth Bowles house but I wasn't part of that team at that point I was open to go there
but nah who had the nicest house? By the time we finished it was Bardy really he was the
host of the house up because the games room when they were celebrating the Premier League
win that was what we did because it was classed as a double garage but you could easily fit
the four cars in it even though it was the two doors just the four yeah and then the
lock conversion which was half of it was the bedroom and the ensuite and the other half
was Rebecca's walking wardrobe which that was a nightmare getting all the materials
up the little winding staircase and that fucking all the plasterboard and everything and it
was mainly just for shoes like ridiculous yeah she was a miserable bitch as well which
I'm sure most of you know from the Wager for Christie was he fucking I don't know but all
the other side with Rooney's Mrs Colleen I thought you'd done I thought you've worked
in you've worked in more footballers houses though I know you haven't shitting them I'm
just I know yeah did you do Gareth Barry? No Gareth Barry as well? Oh I can't remember
that I know you've done another West Bram player but I can't remember who the law for
me was because I remember saying did you shit in his ass and he was like nah nah I'm sure
you don't know yeah there was probably I think there was about six that we did in total but
I can't think of them all. No I know one was definitely another West Bram player. Yeah
and then he was the other one so worked in the building that Flabby Bunglehore lived
in whoever still lives there I don't know but didn't work in his story's fucking he's
dusted up Lamberta literally just sitting there just gathering dust fucking a part of
Van Roll next to it as well. Yeah standard. Van was cleaner than that. Don't clip it
mate. The only clip it's gonna get off. Yeah I think it was about six in total I don't
know but there's been a lot of celebrities well celebrities some old famous people I
don't know I'll have to try and remember who the other ones were. So who else? Ah right
there is a couple more but because we're getting on to the out points just want to get on to
Ryan's one so his mate was the one that fucking wanted to pull a hooter's chick. Ah fuck yeah.
So howdy lads my mate he's full on like James Buckley you nailed it so that's your
maverick between us any. So we're going there Saturday before hitting the club so we will
egg him on I've got the other lads in on it so fuck you I'm hoping we get a video off
of that. Yeah we should definitely get a video if not like voice not updates as it's going
so we've entered you know that'd be great yeah if you could do that that'd be perfect.
It's alright I've got some gals in here that I do want to quickly talk about but yeah hopefully
we do get some funny banter off of this one then some I mean for his mates sake hopefully
he does pull. I hope he does. I'm wondering not. He's not coming to me. Yeah it's going
to be an interesting one so we'll see we'll see the outcome on this. What do you think
the outcome's going to be mate? I think he's not even going to fuck you even if he's blonde
he does get steam and I think he's just going to completely bottle out of you or it'll be
the bullshit one like he'll walk off to speak to her away from everyone else and then he'll
be like my mate over there blah blah fucking coming up with some bullshit to come up with
that instead of actually asking her out. So don't let him do that. If he tries to walk
off to do it get within an earshot so he knows that he can't bottle it and he has to fucking
come out with some chat up line. Try and give him some chat up line stuff he can say as
well. But yeah what just because you just said about voice notes. Last night because
I don't have notifications on my phone for WhatsApp so whenever anyone messages or whatever
on there I don't know until I physically open the app. So I'm watching TV and my phone's
ringing but there's nothing on the display there's no name in the green or red button
to answer. I'm like why is it ringing? And it was going on for ages as well because normally
you know it's like 10 seconds max and it will stop. So fucking I thought I'm going to check
WhatsApp then in case someone's trying to ring me on there. So I've gone on. I'm going to
have to get it up now. So a number that I didn't know. So there was messages on there.
This started to the first message was at quarter past five hello Simon how are you doing? And
then an hour and ten minutes later so twenty five past six now Simon are you there? And
then fucking ten to eight are you busy with two question marks and then the two hand on
chin smoldering emojis. So then they've tried ringing me. So I don't know this person and
I'm like you've got the wrong number and I don't use this app. So me saying I don't use
this app is to say don't fucking text me or whatever. Yeah. So that is yeah. Yeah and
it's a UK number. Oh and then she did. Oh. So she started trying to chat to me then.
Yeah she's put thanks for understanding you seem nice person by the way I'm Alice from
Fulham and yeah. Yeah then why am I right to. Yeah so she's left me a voice note then so
you can say I haven't been I haven't replied already. Yes yes yes. So yeah it was only
because I'd looked at it this morning because obviously she started messing me back in that
while messaging me and I'm not knowing because I'm not having a finger on I don't know that
she's messaging. So she sent a few oh my goodness just looked notice of missed the number whatever
there. So sorry for bumping into your inbox. No it's fucking WhatsApp not emails. Hope
hope you are not offended and I'll just message no worries. And then straight away again thanks
for understanding you seem a nice person by the way I'm Alice from Fulham and yeah and
again 15 minutes later because I didn't reply those same lot of emojis and then yeah left
the voice notes. So I played for us. Hello are you with me. So another Simon's up to
I don't know how clear it was for anyone because I had to listen to it a couple of times but
it's a an Asian lady. Hello are you busy. Not in plain English like that. You know I wouldn't
be surprised if she was trying to sell me some products. But yeah I've just blanked
that. I should have blocked that. Simon's a dirty man. Well obviously he's got a similar
number to mine. But who typed in a number? Like that I haven't already got saved so how
did he? Yeah that's true. So I'm not going to get roped into trying to get in a conversation
with this one because it's easily done where they'll send the link and then they're in
your phone and all that and trying to do things. So yeah it's a good job I don't cheat on my
wife because that's a clickbait one. But as I say she was blocking the literature. Yeah
well I will do now to be fair because I've just wanted since I saw that voicemail I thought
yeah I've got to block you. Well I'll show you at least. Obviously I'd have forgotten
until you just said about voice notes. But yeah so if any of you lot want to give a voice
note feel free to. Keep it up with the emails and the text messages and that. Yeah sending
your stories, your questions, needing some advice or whatever. Send it all. We're here.
We're not queer. We want to know it all. We're definitely not queer. Autistic maybe but yeah
not that. You hope next week we'll have some more updates on the story progression so far.
Yeah Steve you're just going to have to get him pissed off. Might have to because if he's
struggling to get him out for a good drink he might take a little bit of time. So I'm
not holding any pressure on you Steve. Might have to put a little whiling game on that
one. But yeah just bear in mind the fans want to know. And Ryan's mate you know fucking
James Buckley. Let's see what happens with that. We don't reckon Buckley's got it. No
no no. But yeah hopefully we get a good few updates next week. And yeah on that bombshell
AJ's going to get fucked up to not. We'll find out. I don't know. As I say I'm not
feeling it but hopefully I'm feeling it a bit more when I sit down after getting back
to the bar. We'll see you on the next one anyway. Bye bye. Peace.
