  Is he frozen in fear? We can't hear him.
• 3:04
  >> And we got Jos. Oh, we've got Josh.
• 3:06
  We've got Josh's draws. And I could have
• 3:08
  phrased that a lot lot better. Josh, how
• 3:09
  are you doing, mate? You're all right.
• 3:11
  >> No idea what happened there. It just
• 3:15
  >> Well, well, we're live. We're live on
• 3:17
  YouTube. We're live on Facebook. We're
• 3:18
  live on Instagram. We're live on Tik
• 3:20
  Tok. It's going to be on um all our
• 3:22
  podcast platforms in terms of Spotify,
• 3:25
  um Apple, and Amazon. Um right folks,
• 3:29
  let's get into the nitty-gritty. I want
• 3:31
  to get to know a little bit about you.
• 3:32
  First of all, let's get the hard thing
• 3:34
  out the way. Who is your American
• 3:36
  football team? Jack, you are up first.
• 3:38
  >> Oh, it's the Raiders. Just win, baby.
• 3:40
  All day. Raiders. Come on.
• 3:43
  Come on.
• 3:46
  >> Sorry.
• 3:47
  >> Fernando Mendoza season.
• 3:49
  >> Oh, it's God. Okay, so we've got a
• 3:51
  Raiders fan.
• 3:53
  Joss
• 3:56
  >> takes place.
• 3:58
  >> Oh, okay. Okay. Okay, Alex,
• 4:02
  >> that's another joke.
• 4:04
  She's heads. Green Bay Packers.
• 4:07
  >> Oh my god.
• 4:11
  >> One of one of you stole our QBs and
• 4:14
  Raiders are just irrelevant to be
• 4:15
  honest.
• 4:15
  >> Yeah,
• 4:17
  I'm a Bronco. I'm a Bronco. And I asked
• 4:19
  this question the other day. Right. So,
• 4:22
  if you the World Cup's on um and I want
• 4:24
  you to compare your team to to the World
• 4:27
  Cup, for example, I'm a Denver Broncos
• 4:30
  fan, so I would compare us to France,
• 4:31
  which is the best team in the world. I
• 4:34
  would say Jack's a Raiders fan, so I'd
• 4:36
  compare them to Scotland, the worst team
• 4:38
  in the world.
• 4:38
  >> Oh, so um Alex, who would you say the
• 4:43
  Green Packers are like in the World Cup?
• 4:45
  Do
• 4:45
  >> you know what I think? So, I'm
• 4:47
  Portuguese as well, so I support
• 4:49
  Portugal as well. Um, and we always get
• 4:52
  hype, especially this World Cup because
• 4:53
  our team was so good, but we always
• 4:56
  struggle to win. Same as Packers,
• 4:58
  really. Good team fails to win.
• 5:01
  >> Awesome. Okay. Well, it's all right.
• 5:02
  Ronaldo will be at the next cup age 62.
• 5:05
  It'll be absolutely fine. Um,
• 5:07
  >> what about 90?
• 5:09
  >> Um, I haven't watched a single minute of
• 5:11
  the World Cup. So maybe similar to
• 5:15
  Portugal though, the Steelers, because
• 5:17
  >> they kind of got an aging person in the
• 5:19
  middle trying to distribute the ball.
• 5:21
  Not quite in his prime, but his name
• 5:23
  still hangs on.
• 5:25
  >> Okay, I can take that. And Jack,
• 5:28
  >> I completely
• 5:30
  Thank you very much. You know the New
• 5:32
  York Jets exist, right?
• 5:35
  >> Yeah. Hey, and they're Wales even worse.
• 5:37
  Go on, mate. You're up.
• 5:39
  >> Yeah,
• 5:40
  >> man. You hate them invasion?
• 5:42
  >> Well, I'm not going to not going to say
• 5:45
  anything too crazy because the Raiders
• 5:46
  aren't a very good team, are they?
• 5:48
  >> No, no, no. Definitely not.
• 5:49
  >> No. We're getting there. We're building.
• 5:51
  So, you know, the country
• 5:54
  >> I'd see us as a team, you know, we're
• 5:55
  slowly working our way up there. Someone
• 5:57
  like, you know, the Congo, they they
• 5:58
  made it through a few rounds. You know,
• 6:00
  they showed that they've got a bit of
• 6:01
  spirit.
• 6:03
  >> Oh, Mary,
• 6:06
  >> that's that's what I love turning NFL
• 6:08
  Sunday on for. But my team's got spirit.
• 6:10
  >> Honest to God, mate. Like Jack, I you
• 6:13
  are the most optimistic person I've ever
• 6:15
  met in my life. And I've never been
• 6:17
  >> nothing but delusion for the past five
• 6:19
  years, to be fair.
• 6:20
  >> That is absolutely brilliant. Um, okay.
• 6:24
  Right. So, you guys play for Plymouth
• 6:26
  Vanguard. Um, I like Plymouth. I think
• 6:28
  you are a good team. I think your social
• 6:29
  media is absolutely brilliant. Um, we're
• 6:32
  going to get into absolutely everything,
• 6:33
  but let's let's find out about, you
• 6:35
  know, you said some Sorry. If you hear
• 6:37
  the cat meowing and the dog bark and
• 6:38
  it's a crazy um
• 6:41
  >> Jack, how did you get into American
• 6:43
  football? Mate,
• 6:44
  >> uh it was actually someone who's
• 6:46
  currently on the Plymouth Bang as well.
• 6:48
  Um so one of our wide receivers, he's
• 6:50
  called Joel Barton. We've been um
• 6:51
  friends for years now and uh I used to
• 6:53
  be a competitive powerlifter and there
• 6:55
  was a time when he shot me a message one
• 6:57
  day and was like, "Hey mate, would you
• 6:59
  ever want to consider trying to play
• 7:00
  American football?" Took me out to a
• 7:02
  field and within about five minutes he
• 7:04
  went, "Yeah, you're a running back." And
• 7:06
  then he took me along to some toolbar
• 7:07
  sessions and I just absolutely fell in
• 7:09
  love with the sport.
• 7:11
  >> Brilliant. It's best sport ever. Like
• 7:12
  like
• 7:13
  >> I I I love like other sports like I love
• 7:16
  like football, soccer, whatever you want
• 7:18
  to call it. But I I absolutely love
• 7:20
  American football. Um you know, I'm
• 7:23
  excited as well for what's going on in
• 7:25
  you know here in the UK. Although people
• 7:27
  can be very critical of of like other
• 7:28
  things. There's loads of positive things
• 7:30
  like um Union and Jack Classic. I cannot
• 7:33
  wait for that. College football coming
• 7:34
  to the UK is a big deal and we're
• 7:36
  getting more NFL games in the UK. Um,
• 7:39
  but for me, football just goes on all
• 7:41
  year because you've got April till
• 7:45
  April till like September October Brit
• 7:48
  Uniball starting what? September,
• 7:50
  October. Um, and you got the NFL, the
• 7:52
  European stuff. It's just it's
• 7:54
  excitement all year for me. So, I
• 7:56
  absolutely love it. A Alex
• 7:59
  >> Alex
• 8:01
  to be fair. box. Alex, um, how did you
• 8:05
  get into it, mate?
• 8:06
  >> Um, so yeah, I'm a bit more new to it
• 8:08
  really. I started last season at the
• 8:11
  London Olympians. I've watched, well,
• 8:14
  I'd watched American football since
• 8:16
  about 2012.
• 8:17
  >> Oh, yeah.
• 8:18
  >> Um, yeah. My dad bought me a Packers hat
• 8:20
  in TK Maxx one day and he's like,
• 8:23
  >> poor lad.
• 8:25
  It all went down, didn't it?
• 8:27
  >> It could be worse, mate. You could be a
• 8:29
  raider.
• 8:29
  >> It could be worse. Yeah.
• 8:34
  >> And then yeah, my passion just kept
• 8:36
  going up and up and up for the game. But
• 8:38
  I played soccer the majority of my
• 8:41
  childhood until yeah, last season I
• 8:44
  thought, let me try something new. Went
• 8:46
  down to London Olympians. I was living
• 8:47
  in London. Um, and yeah, I just I sat
• 8:50
  the whole year really at QB. I was
• 8:52
  adamant I wanted to play QB. Um, the
• 8:55
  coach said, "Oh, you're pretty good
• 8:57
  athlete, so let's see what else you can
• 8:59
  do. Um, but I was like, "No." Did
• 9:01
  >> you just say he's not, Josh? Did you say
• 9:03
  >> I said I said he's good?
• 9:05
  >> You said he's very good.
• 9:06
  >> I think you said You said he's not. He
• 9:07
  needs to work on his cardio. That's what
• 9:09
  I thought you said.
• 9:10
  >> Yeah, that's a fair point to be fair.
• 9:14
  >> Come on. Sorry.
• 9:16
  >> No, that's all right. Um, yeah. So, I
• 9:18
  sat the whole year basically behind an
• 9:21
  American QB, my good friend Brandon at
• 9:22
  the Olympians. Um, he taught me a lot to
• 9:25
  be fair. Um, still quite useless now.
• 9:28
  still learning with Mr. Joss over there.
• 9:30
  Um,
• 9:31
  >> every day is a school.
• 9:32
  >> Yeah, I've just
• 9:33
  >> Everyday is a school day. I love it.
• 9:34
  >> Every day is a school day.
• 9:36
  >> So, yeah, I moved back down to Devon and
• 9:38
  then looked around for a team. It was
• 9:39
  either the Vanguard or the Wyverns, but
• 9:42
  I didn't even contact the Wyvens to be
• 9:44
  fair. The Vanguard setup just looked
• 9:46
  amazing.
• 9:47
  >> What do you What do you call it when
• 9:48
  you're playing um Cornwall? The what
• 9:51
  bowl?
• 9:52
  >> Fasty bowl.
• 9:55
  two different
• 9:59
  way.
• 10:00
  >> Please tell me there's a there's a pasti
• 10:02
  trophy.
• 10:03
  >> Yes, it's on our social media. Have you
• 10:04
  not seen it?
• 10:05
  >> Has anyone got Has anyone got it on
• 10:06

• 10:08
  >> It's easy for you to grab it. Put it in
• 10:09

  >> No, it's it's gone to one of our
• 10:14
  sponsors, the pub. It's physically it's
• 10:16

• 10:25
  >> that is absolutely brilliant. Josh, how
• 10:27
  did you get into football, mate?
• 10:28
  >> Um I played football as a goalkeeper for
• 10:32
  by far the worst team in the southwest
• 10:34
  in Cornwall. Um we got absolutely
• 10:37
  spanked every single weekend. Um but
• 10:40

• 11:05

• 11:06
  two comments I'm guessing um the the
• 11:09
  boys of yours oh no from the same person
• 11:12
  LFG which I assume is Let's flipping go.
• 11:14
  Clearly, uh, LFG boys and bros got a
• 11:17
  cannon. I assume he's talking about you,
• 11:20
  Alex. Have you got a cannon?
• 11:22
  >> He's talking about Joss.
• 11:25
  >> Oh, sorry. I apologize.
• 11:26
  >> I can sling it a little bit. No, Alex
• 11:27
  has got an absolute cannon.
• 11:29
  >> No, he was saying he was a QB before, so
• 11:31
  I assume. Anyway, Josh, as you were,
• 11:33
  mate. Sorry. I will stop to to read out
• 11:35
  comments. So, folks, if you have any
• 11:36
  comments or questions, just drop them in
• 11:38
  uh the we've got the Instagram comments
• 11:40
  and we've got the Facebook and YouTube.
• 11:41
  drop them on and we will answer them as
• 11:43
  long as they're PG friendly to a certain
• 11:45
  extent.
• 11:46
  >> I'm struggling to find a photo of the
• 11:48
  past trophy on our socials. I don't
• 11:49
  think it's been posted on our Instagram.
• 11:52
  >> Oh, maybe not. I'll have to find it. I
• 11:54
  will be on the Yeah. Yeah, you go. You
• 11:56
  go. You go. You go. You go. Um right.
• 11:59
  So, um I want to get into your league.
• 12:02
  Um Jos is is is babysitting, so you
• 12:05
  know, he'll be back in a moment. Let's
• 12:08
  get into your league. Let's get to your
• 12:09
  current standings. So as it stands,
• 12:12
  Plymouth Vanguard at top played seven,
• 12:15
  won six, lost one, scored 16 points,
• 12:20
  conceded only 34. So
• 12:24
  how are you boys rating your current
• 12:26
  season?
• 12:28
  It's going quite well to be fair.
• 12:29
  There's obviously always room for
• 12:31
  improvement, but our defense is
• 12:33
  absolutely stellar. There's been
• 12:35
  countless times where they've bailed us
• 12:36
  out, and we can't thank them enough for
• 12:38
  it.
• 12:40
  Yeah, I agree. I think
• 12:42
  um the defense makes a huge difference
• 12:44
  for us. You can see 34 points. Um I
• 12:47
  don't think they've let up more than 10
• 12:50
  points. And if that wasn't from an
• 12:52
  offensive turnover,
• 12:53
  >> as in the reason that the defense let up
• 12:55
  10 points, then yeah, our defense is
• 12:57
  just outstanding. I think offensively we
• 13:00
  started off hot. We stagnated a little
• 13:02
  bit.
• 13:03
  >> Um but we're pick we're picking it up a
• 13:05
  little bit more now. Um,
• 13:07
  >> I just think, yeah, if we if we could
• 13:08
  keep it consistent for the whole season,
• 13:10
  we probably would have surpassed 200
• 13:11
  points.
• 13:12
  >> Um,
• 13:12
  >> yeah,
• 13:13
  >> but I think we're picking it up again
• 13:15
  and we're picking it up at the right
• 13:16
  time. So, as Aaron Rogers says, I think
• 13:19
  I think we can run the table.
• 13:21
  >> Well, we've already run the table. We're
• 13:22
  at the top and but yeah, I think we can
• 13:24
  go all the way in the playoffs. That's
• 13:25
  probably the better way to put it.
• 13:27
  >> So, I want to go through these teams.
• 13:30
  Um,
• 13:32
  >> Swind and Storm, they beat you, didn't
• 13:34
  he?
• 13:35
  Um, no, not Swindon.
• 13:38
  >> Okay, so it was a swimsuit wven at
• 13:42
  >> Okay. What happened there if you don't
• 13:43
  mind me asking?
• 13:44
  >> Be honest. Like like like look, be a
• 13:46
  champion of victory, be a champion
• 13:47
  defeat. Like we drew a game. I played
• 13:49
  for Lincoln Buccaneers. We drew a game
• 13:50
  and when everyone's asking about we were
• 13:52
  like Lincoln turned up and played a
• 13:54
  great game. We also gave away 200 yards
• 13:56
  and penalties. Our discipline was
• 13:57
  horrendous. You know, say say how it is.
• 14:00
  I think it was um it was just once it
• 14:03
  got down to um near the end of the game,
• 14:05
  we were I think we were still down a
• 14:07
  score. We got to the goal line and it
• 14:08
  was all very much hurry hurry, people
• 14:11
  yelling this, people yelling that and we
• 14:13
  kind of lost sense of what was going on
• 14:14
  and it just backfired on us and we just
• 14:16
  kept shooting ourselves in the foot.
• 14:20
  >> Yeah, I think yeah, we were we didn't
• 14:22
  play our best game. I think we we we
• 14:24
  struggled to move the ball. I mean, the
• 14:25
  defense done well. I think our touchdown
• 14:27
  of the game was
• 14:28
  >> on a fourth and one sneak from like the
• 14:31
  30 yard line and we just took it all the
• 14:32
  way.
• 14:33
  >> So I think that kind of
• 14:35
  >> Yeah. Um so I think that just explains
• 14:38
  our game really. We couldn't really
• 14:40
  score. I think we we nearly scored on
• 14:42
  one of the last drives of the game to be
• 14:43
  honest.
• 14:44
  >> Yeah.
• 14:44
  >> We marched all the way down the field.
• 14:46
  Um and we we nearly scored to put it out
• 14:48
  144 but we didn't which is what matters
• 14:51
  most. No,
• 14:52
  >> but yeah, we just wasn't a good day for
• 14:54
  us offensively and
• 14:55
  >> we could have done a lot better.
• 14:57
  >> Listen, if every game was just like a
• 14:59
  Yeah, I've got a comment here from Joe.
• 15:00
  Joe's very chatty. I like Joe. Joe, if
• 15:02
  you want to if you want to join on, Joe,
• 15:04
  just just drop me a message if you want
• 15:05
  to.
• 15:06
  >> What?
• 15:07
  >> He uh I might be one of our linemen.
• 15:09
  >> No, you can join on. I love alignment.
• 15:11
  >> Alignment. Great people. What's
• 15:13
  >> his last name? Joe.
• 15:14
  >> Um Joe.
• 15:17
  Bishops7. Bish.
• 15:23
  He can come on as long as he doesn't
• 15:24
  swear and he's
• 15:27
  >> not worth it. He's not worth it. Not
• 15:29
  worth it if we're not breaking that
• 15:30
  streak.
• 15:31
  >> Um if if he can promise not to swear,
• 15:33
  he's more than welcome on guys. What
• 15:35
  what do you think of some wyvens? Uh Jo
• 15:37
  Josh, I'm going to come to you.
• 15:39
  >> Um I think the Wyverns um from what I
• 15:42
  can tell have just just struggled.
• 15:44
  They've got a lot of big personalities,
• 15:45
  you know, a lot of guys that have sort
• 15:46
  of transferred in. And to me, it looks
• 15:48
  like they've they've sort of struggled
• 15:50
  to find an identity. And that's not me
• 15:52
  at all slandering them at all. Like they
• 15:54
  do they do a lot of things really well.
• 15:56
  But you notice even like their social
• 15:58
  media, it seems to the there hasn't been
• 16:00
  a consistent pattern of life throughout
• 16:02
  the whole um throughout the whole year.
• 16:05
  It's kind of chopped and changed. So, it
• 16:06
  doesn't really feel like any form of
• 16:07
  their team has an identity that they can
• 16:09
  they can really um fall behind. They got
• 16:12
  some great players. They got some up and
• 16:13
  cominging guys. I think it's um I think
• 16:15
  it's going to be a good couple of years
• 16:16
  for them. Um if they can uh stick on the
• 16:19
  sort of retain the people they've got.
• 16:22
  >> Um I've just got the um pasti bowl. Um
• 16:26
  let me just see if I can show it to my
• 16:28
  phone. That is absolutely horrendous and
• 16:31
  I love it.
• 16:31
  >> Yeah, it's great. It's awful. Right.
• 16:33
  >> So if they win if they win, did they get
• 16:36
  did they get that?
• 16:37
  >> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So, we chopped it used
• 16:39
  to happen before between the Tor Trojans
• 16:41
  and the Cornwall Cornish Sharks back
• 16:43
  then. Um uh and so yeah, we just kicked
• 16:46
  kicked it back into life. You know, if
• 16:47
  we if we don't play the Sharks, uh
• 16:50
  sorry, the Monarchs uh because we're in
• 16:53
  different divisions or conferences,
• 16:54
  whatever, then it'll just be a preseason
• 16:56
  thing or a postseason thing. It's it's
• 16:57
  supposed to be a bit of light-hearted
• 16:59
  fun and bringing some character to the
• 17:00
  uh
• 17:02
  >> to the games rather than everything
• 17:03
  being so sterile all the time. I don't
• 17:05
  know if
• 17:07
  it's like you were saying the other day
• 17:08
  you um you wanted like stories and
• 17:11
  narratives in Brit to boost it and
• 17:14
  immediately the pasti bowl that's
• 17:17
  >> 100% no no we we like like we want more
• 17:22
  from from from Baffa that that's that's
• 17:23
  all I hear is people want more from
• 17:24
  Baffa and Baffer will acknowledge that
• 17:27
  but we want more from each other as well
• 17:30
  we've you know we've got to provide them
• 17:31
  stories we've got to make these games
• 17:33
  interesting you know Um, I used Serge
• 17:37
  and um, this Black Country Steelers as
• 17:40
  an example. They've played each other
• 17:41
  like eight times in the last three
• 17:43
  years. Um, if that was me, you know,
• 17:46
  maybe you could look at putting them,
• 17:48
  you know, let's say if Serge have I
• 17:49
  think Serge haven't won the last four or
• 17:51
  five. I might be wrong there, but use
• 17:54
  that, you know, is this the one that we
• 17:55
  get this? Do we from the Steelers
• 17:57
  aspect, you know, do they increase the
• 17:58
  streak? And that's not me slandering
• 17:59
  them. I love both of them teams. I'm
• 18:01
  just using that as an example. I think
• 18:03
  you know social media wise teams have to
• 18:06
  be so much better you know in in you
• 18:09
  look at your content is really really
• 18:11
  good Humber Warhawks I love their game
• 18:12
  day stuff absolutely brilliant and you
• 18:16
  know I always don't want to criticize
• 18:18
  because you know I don't want clubs to
• 18:21
  think you know I'm favorites enough
• 18:22
  clubs I'm I am very pretty much the same
• 18:24
  with every single club I like to treat
• 18:25
  every single club the same but you know
• 18:27
  when there's some clubs that just don't
• 18:29
  want to do it you know they might not
• 18:30
  have the personnel I get it But I think
• 18:32
  it's critical to get to that level. You
• 18:35
  know, we talk Bristol Aztecs for
• 18:36
  example, you know, you look at their you
• 18:38
  look at their social media, you look at
• 18:40
  the controversy is called, you're all
• 18:42
  talking about it.
• 18:43
  >> Yeah.
• 18:44
  >> You know, are you angry? Great. What are
• 18:45
  you going to do about it? You know, um
• 18:47
  like
• 18:49
  we've I don't know what are your guys
• 18:52
  thoughts, you know, on all that.
• 18:55
  >> I I think the Aztecs are they're doing
• 18:57
  really well. You know, some people might
• 18:58
  not like how, you know, teams are
• 19:00
  getting 100 dropped on them, but you
• 19:02
  know, at the end of the day, if you're
• 19:03
  playing against four guys that have been
• 19:05
  in NCAA, there's nothing to stop you
• 19:06
  going up to them at the end of the game
• 19:07
  and asking some some advice, just asking
• 19:10
  them how they look at certain situations
• 19:11
  or what they do in certain drills. And
• 19:15
  >> um we've Sorry, we've got a comment
• 19:16
  here. Uh I'm good. I'll definitely
• 19:18
  swear. Um and then we've got Burkshire
• 19:21
  to beat Ipsswitch. Interesting. Um
• 19:26
  >> DC just quickly back to to Sunset Wvens.
• 19:30
  Um do any of you have any more to say in
• 19:32
  Sunset Wvens? Any funny sto any funny
• 19:34
  stories from this year with the games
• 19:35
  with them?
• 19:36
  >> Um have you I think I sent it through uh
• 19:40
  to the group earlier. Um have you got
• 19:41
  the picture of the program I sent
• 19:43
  through?
• 19:43
  >> I couldn't get uploaded for some reason.
• 19:45
  >> Oh no.
• 19:46
  >> You can just explain it. I'm sorry.
• 19:49
  for that
• 19:50
  >> this season.
• 19:50
  >> Y
• 19:51
  >> so every uh every game we do um same
• 19:54
  thing that that Elliot Hoy said for
• 19:56
  Bristol that
• 19:57
  >> whilst we don't have a commentator which
• 19:59
  is the next thing we want to go for. We
• 20:01
  do give out free game day programs it
• 20:02
  has both teams rosters a bit of
• 20:04
  information Baffra adverts
• 20:07
  um and some some sort of you there's
• 20:09
  always a little story from the head
• 20:10
  coach etc etc. So it's a good little
• 20:12
  handout that people can read at halftime
• 20:13
  or pregame. Uh we requested our uh the
• 20:17
  roster from the Wyverns uh for their
• 20:19
  home game and um every other team did it
• 20:21
  this year, but the Wyverns just refused
• 20:23
  to. So we uh we put together a hot hot
• 20:27
  fuzz version of the roster um with a
• 20:30
  couple of really good pictures of the
• 20:32
  two main characters in in Wyvern's kit
• 20:34
  and that was their game day roster. So,
• 20:36
  um, yeah, that was done by our ops, uh,
• 20:39
  our ops manager and, um, and also, uh,
• 20:44
  it was done by, uh, who was it? Tom
• 20:46
  Maddox, one of our dign Yeah. So, uh,
• 20:48
  they did an amazing job putting that
• 20:50
  together and it's got the best response
• 20:52
  of any of the programs because people
• 20:53
  found
• 20:54
  >> I didn't even notice until post game
• 20:55
  when I was I was at home looking through
• 20:57
  it and I read it and I was like, "Oh my
• 20:58
  god, I didn't even notice."
• 21:00
  >> Well, you don't you were playing.
• 21:03
  I was in the same halls as the guy from
• 21:05
  from Hot Fuzz and it was you know what's
• 21:07
  your date of birth?
• 21:07
  >> 22nd of February. What year?
• 21:09
  >> Every day.
• 21:10
  >> Every year. Um he was he was such Yeah.
• 21:14
  Get out. He's such a nice guy. He was
• 21:16
  like 6'12 as well. He's been a great
• 21:18
  lineman.
• 21:19
  >> Um okay, Swindon.
• 21:21
  >> Still can be.
• 21:23
  >> So Swind and Storm. Um any any thoughts
• 21:26
  on them? They seem like a a good good
• 21:29
  bunch of guys.
• 21:31
  Yeah, I think we've played them once,
• 21:33
  first game of the season, but I feel
• 21:35
  like first game of the season is always
• 21:36
  a right off. Well, for the time I've
• 21:38
  been playing, it's always a tough game
• 21:40
  to gauge what anyone's going to do,
• 21:41
  especially in Brit cuz yeah, anything
• 21:43
  can happen. Um, but yeah, I've heard
• 21:46
  they've got one or two of their good
• 21:48
  players coming back or their better
• 21:49
  players coming back. Um, which would be
• 21:52
  a tougher test for us. I think like I
• 21:54
  said earlier, our offense is starting to
• 21:56
  click at the right time. So, I wouldn't
• 21:59
  want to face them at any other point in
• 22:00
  the season.
• 22:01
  >> Um, we've got a few comments. Hope
• 22:03
  Matteo is enjoying playing with Foggy.
• 22:05
  Taught him everything he knew before we
• 22:06
  moved.
• 22:07
  >> Oh, yeah. He's He's a great guy and like
• 22:10
  he had us like like someone messaged me
• 22:12
  like like we were meant to get your
• 22:14
  belly out when you're doing the
• 22:15
  interview. Next time I do an interview
• 22:16
  with with Foggy, I will get my belly out
• 22:18
  and you'll inbox me to put it back away.
• 22:20
  Really really good guy. Um, he's an
• 22:22
  asset to you as well. Like he's he's a
• 22:24
  top-notch bloke. Uh, we've got another
• 22:26
  comment here, Diesel. Um here um
• 22:28
  regarding social media, there's only one
• 22:30
  thing worse than being talked about that
• 22:32
  is not being talked about.
• 22:33
  >> Yeah, that's our head coach.
• 22:34
  >> Yeah, that's head coach.
• 22:35
  >> Oh, is it?
• 22:36
  >> Oh, why is he not on? Or is he or is he
• 22:37
  spreader?
• 22:39
  >> Yeah.
• 22:41
  Middle linebacker. So, I think it speaks
• 22:43
  for itself.
• 22:44
  >> Oh, Jack, we've got a comment here. Uh
• 22:45
  it's a question. Jack, how does playing
• 22:47
  for Vanguard compare to playing for the
• 22:49
  Widens?
• 22:49
  >> Yeah. Come on, Jack.
• 22:51
  >> Have that.
• 22:52
  >> Have you like people answered these
• 22:53
  questions? Cuz cuz like
• 22:55
  >> No, that's actually my stepdad.
• 22:57
  >> Oh, hey stepdad.
• 22:58
  >> Um
• 22:59
  >> he could have just come up and stood in
• 23:00
  the back.
• 23:00
  >> Yeah, I know. So
• 23:02
  >> I dare him. I double dare him.
• 23:04
  >> Come in and tell us an embarrassing
• 23:06
  story.
• 23:07
  >> Um I don't
• 23:08
  >> Tell him to look at the scoreboard.
• 23:09
  There's the answer.
• 23:11
  >> Yeah, I don't want to speak bad on any
• 23:13
  past teams, but um you know, last season
• 23:15
  with the Wurns, it was um we were in a
• 23:16
  very strong division one um conference.
• 23:19
  So it was
• 23:20
  >> and we they just had quite a lot of
• 23:21
  their players leave to go up to Aztecs
• 23:23
  or where else. So you know it was it was
• 23:26
  a bit of a rough patch but you know they
• 23:27
  were they fought till the end. They
• 23:28
  played every single game. Never
• 23:30
  forfeited anything. So props to them but
• 23:33
  you know it's uh it's nice to feel feel
• 23:35
  a win.
• 23:37
  >> I mean look is a very very difficult
• 23:40
  division. Yeah. It is the biggest pain
• 23:43
  to also do all the artwork for like
• 23:45
  power rankings. Why is my team not in
• 23:46
  here? I'm like, "Oh my god." Just just
• 23:49
  But no, um it was a really tough
• 23:52
  division. I unfortunately like there's
• 23:55
  some people who want to play div two,
• 23:56
  but there's some people want to play div
• 23:57
  one. You know, it's one of them. We do
• 23:59
  have another comment here. I am media
• 24:01
  trained too. You are more than welcome
• 24:02
  on buddy as long as you don't swear
• 24:04
  because people claim to be media train.
• 24:07
  >> Um okay, that leads us on to Coral
• 24:10
  Moniks for the past bowl. What do they
• 24:12
  like to deal with? They seem like a
• 24:13
  really good bunch of guys and their
• 24:15
  touchdown I think it was against you
• 24:16
  guys is
• 24:17
  >> it was
• 24:19
  my favorite favorite favorite touchdown.
• 24:23
  >> Thanks for posting that.
• 24:24
  >> Not a problem mate. Not a problem.
• 24:26
  >> The fact that the cycle just kept coming
• 24:28
  back around and back around as someone
• 24:30
  else would share it. I just
• 24:32
  >> was like I was like poor dude.
• 24:34
  >> Yeah we swore we had our second swear
• 24:38
  word.
• 24:39
  >> Oh no. I don't know why I thought I
• 24:41
  heard the swear word.
• 24:43
  We'll go back.
• 24:44
  >> I said back around. Maybe the maybe the
• 24:46
  C.
• 24:46
  >> I I heard something off. It's all right.
• 24:48
  Don't worry. We'll crack on. Um do you
• 24:50
  know what the thing do you know what the
• 24:51
  thing is is like like cuz someone
• 24:54
  messaged me going they got beat. Why
• 24:55
  would you share a clip? Someone got
• 24:56
  beat, mate. Celebrate every clip. Like
• 24:58
  celebrate every touchdown, every
• 25:00
  positive yardage, you know, like you I
• 25:02
  mean you guys last season you
• 25:04
  particularly didn't have a great You had
• 25:05
  a good start and then it kind of
• 25:07
  >> dived a little bit if I remember
• 25:08
  rightly.
• 25:09
  >> Yeah. But there was still bits you were
• 25:11
  celebrating because it was your first
• 25:12
  year. This is your second season which
• 25:14
  is
• 25:14
  >> bonkers. Absolute bonkers. Um but yeah,
• 25:19
  when they when the club send me stuff
• 25:21
  like that, we're always going to post it
• 25:22
  cuz that I mean that was gold. Anyway,
• 25:24
  hang on.
• 25:24
  >> Yeah, two two comments here.
• 25:26
  >> Uh two really young players on the
• 25:28
  panel. What is the immediate and
• 25:29
  long-term goals for Alex and Jack? Where
• 25:31
  do you want to be with the football
• 25:32
  boys? We'll go back to Monx in a bit. Um
• 25:35
  well me personally it's uh you know I've
• 25:37
  moved back down to Plymouth because I
• 25:39
  had to finish um doing SGS up in
• 25:41
  Bristol. So um in the long run I I'm not
• 25:45
  seeing myself playing pro or anything
• 25:47
  like that. But you know I'll take it as
• 25:49
  far as it can go. You know if it goes
• 25:51
  that far incredible. If it doesn't you
• 25:53
  know I'm still going to keep playing for
• 25:54
  the sake of it because I love the sport.
• 25:57
  >> Okay.
• 25:59
  >> Um for me it's I think it's all about
• 26:02
  enjoyment. I mean, I'm at a point in
• 26:04
  life where still quite young. I'm only
• 26:06
  21, so I came to this sport quite late,
• 26:09
  I think, to have real aspirations for
• 26:11
  anything. But, um, yeah, I've got a
• 26:13
  career behind me now. Um, and taking the
• 26:16
  next step in life. So, I think it's just
• 26:17
  just about having fun really.
• 26:19
  >> What are you doing for work, if you
• 26:19
  don't mind me asking?
• 26:21
  >> Uh, so I did an apprenticeship, started
• 26:24
  two years ago, and now I'm a business
• 26:26
  analyst.
• 26:27
  >> Uh, down.
• 26:28
  >> There's so many skills in this in this
• 26:29
  sport that transferable to jobs. Um,
• 26:31
  I've just just got a job at ADI and when
• 26:33
  I told them what I do and the NFL and
• 26:35
  you know, not the NFL, the American
• 26:36
  football and all that. I wish I could
• 26:38
  play NFL. Um, you know, that was part of
• 26:40
  the perk of getting me, you know, people
• 26:41
  skills, all that working teamwork.
• 26:43
  There's literally loads of skills. The
• 26:45
  comment section's going a bit nuts. So,
• 26:46
  I'm just going to read a few comments
• 26:47
  out. Um, to read, oh, we've read that
• 26:50
  one already. Uh, my dad is uh number 25
• 26:52
  of the Vanguard team. It's nice to hear
• 26:53
  from some of the lads who play alongside
• 26:55
  him. He is the happiest he's been
• 26:57
  playing a game uh in a long time, and he
• 26:59
  wanted to play as a kid. That's
• 27:00
  brilliant.
• 27:01
  >> Oh, is that Mikey Manson?
• 27:03
  >> Michael Manson. Yeah,
• 27:04
  >> man.
• 27:06
  >> And then we've got a comment from Tyler
• 27:07
  Johnson. Jack
• 27:08
  >> SC.
• 27:12
  >> And we've got Dave Murray who's laughing
• 27:14
  at that comment. In terms of Instagram,
• 27:16
  our defense has been lights out all year
• 27:18
  from Joe Bishop. Joe, you may as well
• 27:20
  just come on. Just don't swear. Um, but
• 27:23
  you know, it's
• 27:25
  let let Oh my god, the comments are
• 27:27
  gone. Let the comments go for a bit.
• 27:28
  It's all right.
• 27:30
  any more on them, you know, um it's been
• 27:33
  a struggle for them this year. I know it
• 27:34
  has, but you know, getting through the
• 27:36
  season like this shows a ton of
• 27:37
  character.
• 27:39
  >> Build that for next season. But as you
• 27:41
  >> Yeah, like they've um so they've just
• 27:43
  taken on new members of their committee.
• 27:45
  It seems they're a lot more driven. Um
• 27:47
  and certainly from conversations with
• 27:48
  Mitch Atinson, their head coach, it's
• 27:50
  the most successful offse not off
• 27:53
  seasonason, like season it's been off
• 27:55
  the pitch. uh they've had a new like a
• 27:58
  load of injuries to key players, backups
• 28:00
  have had to step up. Um it I think that
• 28:03
  if they can retain same same as the
• 28:05
  wires, they can retain who they've got,
• 28:07
  they've got a great core, they should um
• 28:09
  they should be able to play with some
• 28:11
  success. I mean, hell, we're playing
• 28:12
  we're running a uh an uptempo offense
• 28:15
  and we have uh a defense that's like
• 28:17
  three deep in places. We bring on a
• 28:19
  whole third down defense. So, we have
• 28:21
  our first and down, first and second
• 28:23
  down. We bring on a whole new third down
• 28:25
  defense and those guys were playing both
• 28:27
  ways and they still played 100% every
• 28:31
  snap.
• 28:31
  >> So they faced like all 53 of our guys in
• 28:34
  a game and they still didn't quit. So it
• 28:37
  was a hell of an effort and they are,
• 28:38
  you know, it's a
• 28:40
  >> it's a good team they got down there.
• 28:41
  >> We've got a comment here. Cornwall are a
• 28:43
  tough team and have a regular resilience
• 28:45
  group turning up.
• 28:46
  >> Uh a lot of us have played for them over
• 28:48
  the years. Don't worry mate, I knew what
• 28:49
  you meant. Um they do seem like a good
• 28:51
  bunch of guys. Um, someone sent us a
• 28:54
  message saying that um, they were
• 28:55
  forfeiting a game. I dropped them a DM
• 28:57
  going, "Hey folks, really hope you're
• 28:58
  okay. We've had this message." And they
• 29:00
  were like, "Nope, game's on." I love
• 29:01
  that quick response, quick resilient
• 29:03
  response. And I do wish them best of
• 29:04
  luck for the rest of the season. Um,
• 29:06
  right. So, um,
• 29:08
  >> if they could squeak a win over the WS,
• 29:10
  that would definitely
• 29:11
  >> You guys don't like the Wyverns, do you?
• 29:13
  This is
• 29:14
  >> We don't know.
• 29:15
  >> They've they've never The Coral Monarchs
• 29:17
  have never had a zero win season. So,
• 29:19
  I'm I'm just hoping that that streak
• 29:22
  >> continues. Do you know I actually I
• 29:23
  started the Monics with the head coach
• 29:25
  as well.
• 29:25
  >> Brilliant.
• 29:26
  >> So, as as as the as the Sharks failed,
• 29:29
  myself and Rich Atinson, the head coach,
• 29:30
  and Laura Bonner, who's our secretary,
• 29:32
  was the chair of the Sharks, we uh yeah,
• 29:35
  we we started the Mons. So, I've got a
• 29:37
  lot of love for the Monarchs. Always
• 29:38
  trying to help them.
• 29:39
  >> Uh we're donating some like uh some some
• 29:42
  of the endzone markers to their to them
• 29:44
  so they can have the ones in the back of
• 29:46
  the end zone that mark out the hashes
• 29:47
  and stuff. So, no hate. Josh, um, can I
• 29:50
  ask what you're drinking here?
• 29:53
  >> This is just water after no one else
• 29:54
  decided they were going to drink beer.
• 29:55
  >> Me, I I've had the wine. I can't drink
• 29:57
  wine on a PG- friendly product, so I am
• 29:59
  on the on the water, but I was I was I
• 30:01
  was half devil got a beer in there.
• 30:02
  That's what I was thinking. Um,
• 30:04
  >> we training tomorrow, Alex. We got be we
• 30:06
  got to be smart about this.
• 30:09
  >> I will.
• 30:09
  >> Yeah, we got to hydrate our team.
• 30:11
  >> If they had drinks, I'd make them run
• 30:12
  laps tomorrow morning.
• 30:13
  >> Do you know what? Um, we're going to
• 30:15
  come in here. Look for the Monics. If
• 30:16
  neither of you two don't turn up for
• 30:18
  training tomorrow and this drink excuse
• 30:20
  comes out, it's going to be great. Um,
• 30:22
  so we've got
• 30:23
  >> Oh, injured my leg.
• 30:26
  >> We we've got we've got a comment. Um,
• 30:27
  who will end up with more points scored
• 30:29
  in the end the season, Plymouth or
• 30:31
  Swindon? And that's from Jess and she's
• 30:33
  a part of TD UK by the way.
• 30:37
  >> Easy.
• 30:38
  >> Who? Who? Who? Answer it then.
• 30:40
  >> Mang obviously.
• 30:41
  >> What is it? 16. Oh, they're not bad.
• 30:43
  May. It's close.
• 30:44
  >> Yeah. 57 decided in the last game,
• 30:47
  weren't it?
• 30:48
  >> I I I feel like that first game Swindon
• 30:50
  have got out the way and they've just
• 30:51
  picked up and picked up and picked
• 30:52
  that's going to be a very good game and
• 30:54
  I wish it was live streamed.
• 30:56
  >> No,
• 30:57
  >> we we are going to live stream at some
• 30:59
  point, but we just want the best
• 31:00
  product. It needs it can't just be like
• 31:02
  >> you can use our product next year. Don't
• 31:03
  worry, I'll tell you about it after the
• 31:04
  call.
• 31:05
  >> All right, but we don't just want to do
• 31:06
  filming of like a game. We don't want a
• 31:08
  commentator and music and all that kind
• 31:10
  of stuff. Um, we for context for anyone
• 31:12
  in Brit Bull, Uniball, the ladies teams,
• 31:14
  um, we will have a platform up in the
• 31:17
  next 30 days where you can live stream a
• 31:19
  game. Um, you live stream it through our
• 31:21
  thing. Um, and and that's that. Um, we'd
• 31:23
  like it if for anyone who wants to do
• 31:25
  it, the footage will stay up. So, it's
• 31:27
  not a case of we're removing footage. We
• 31:28
  are very keen on people sharing footage.
• 31:30
  Um, it baffles me when teams don't. Um,
• 31:34
  and like team n, you know, team players
• 31:36
  so you can get your you can get your
• 31:38
  program done. Um, but let's let's move
• 31:40
  on. I want to get to know a bit about
• 31:42
  Plymouth. So, when did you guys form?
• 31:46
  Give us some information on that.
• 31:48
  >> So, this was August 4th, I believe it
• 31:50
  was. Yeah, August 4th. Uh, 2020.
• 31:53
  Oh, dear. 2022.
• 31:57
  2023. There we are. Good thing I can
• 32:00
  count. Um, so the man on the left is JJ
• 32:02
  Saddleton. Man on the right is Rats. Um,
• 32:05
  and this was us signing the uh the
• 32:07
  constitution for Vanguard. Uh, we signed
• 32:09
  it in one of the local pubs. Went had a
• 32:11
  chat. Nathan Coats, one of the
• 32:12
  officials, put us both in touch saying,
• 32:13
  "You start a team." Yeah.
• 32:16
  >> Right.
• 32:16
  >> I' I'd text Nathan saying, you know, do
• 32:19
  you know anyone in Plymouth who might be
• 32:20
  interested in starting a team or or
• 32:22
  going from there and put me in touch
• 32:23
  with JJ. JJ had been having the same
• 32:25
  conversations because he played for the
• 32:26
  Tor Trojans and we merged. So, we just
• 32:29
  both became directors of a company and
• 32:31
  and went from there.
• 32:32
  >> Um, we we've got two comments. Swindon
• 32:34
  versus Plymouth last game is going to be
• 32:35
  great. Both teams have excellent
• 32:37
  defenses, but worry for whoever comes
• 32:39
  second with a very hard game against the
• 32:41
  Cardinals awaits.
• 32:43
  >> Um either way, the game between Vanguard
• 32:45
  and Storm will be a banger. I'm sure it
• 32:48
  will. I'm sure it will be. Um
• 32:50
  >> going back to to how you started, love
• 32:52
  Nathan. Nathan has helped me out loads.
• 32:54
  He's a he's a great guy. I go to him for
• 32:56
  for if there's a video, I'm not too sure
• 32:58
  whether to post it. Nathan gives me the
• 33:00
  yes or no on that really. Um, but you
• 33:03
  know, Jack, this is your first season
• 33:05
  here. Is that correct?
• 33:06
  >> Yes, that's right.
• 33:07
  >> Okay.
• 33:08
  >> He was at our first ever rookie day
• 33:09
  though, Jack.
• 33:10
  >> Oh, was he? I was.
• 33:10
  >> Yeah.
• 33:12
  When I came down,
• 33:14
  >> he sold you.
• 33:14
  >> He sold.
• 33:20
  >> Oh, hang on.
• 33:21
  >> That's why you're not That's why you're
• 33:22
  not RB1 then.
• 33:24
  >> Still
• 33:26
  running back.
• 33:31
  Um, Alex, have you been there two
• 33:33
  seasons then?
• 33:34
  >> No, I I joined uh close towards the end
• 33:38
  of the off season this year. I think a
• 33:41
  couple of weeks. How many weeks?
• 33:42
  Probably five or six weeks out from
• 33:43
  start.
• 33:44
  >> This one This one isn't for Jos because
• 33:45
  he's been there since the get- go. What
• 33:46
  was the first thing you you was the
• 33:48
  first impression you got when you you
• 33:50
  joined there? You know, was it was it,
• 33:51
  oh, this is good. They're a good bunch
• 33:52
  of guys or I don't like him, you know?
• 33:55
  >> No, it it was brilliant. Yeah. I went to
• 33:57
  the one of the first rookie days um cuz
• 34:00
  our can like Somerset training had been
• 34:01
  cancelled so I thought while I'm down
• 34:04
  here I may as well go and uh yeah it was
• 34:06
  really good. Everything was ran really
• 34:08
  smoothly. Coaches knew exactly what they
• 34:10
  were doing. Uh and it just gave a sense
• 34:11
  of professionalism. So when I rocked up
• 34:14
  my first practice of officially being
• 34:16
  part of the team, it was everyone bought
• 34:18
  into the same goal. There was a culture
• 34:20
  already set and yeah it was great big
• 34:22
  group of dudes who all had one common
• 34:24
  goal in mind.
• 34:27
  Yeah.
• 34:28
  >> Yeah. You want me to go?
• 34:30
  >> Oh, okay. Um, yeah, I think so. I was in
• 34:33
  divan complete other side of the country
• 34:36
  and come down to Devon and it's funny
• 34:39
  because as in the principles and the
• 34:43
  things that teams do are the same and it
• 34:45
  was like, oh, it's refreshing like this
• 34:46
  is something that I know. Obviously, the
• 34:48
  teams are completely different. One's
• 34:50
  div one, one's div, and this is a very
• 34:52
  new team. But like things like the warm
• 34:54
  up, it gives you a sense of you're still
• 34:56
  comfortable. You still know what you're
• 34:58
  doing. You're part of a new family. Um,
• 35:00
  but I think as time went on, I just
• 35:02
  started to realize this is actually a
• 35:04
  really wellrun club. Um, and the fact
• 35:07
  that there's things like the membership
• 35:09
  is so cheap and the things that we put
• 35:12
  in.
• 35:12
  >> How much is the membership? For anyone
• 35:14
  who wants to join Plymouth Vanguard, by
• 35:15
  the way, you can contact them on the
• 35:16
  social medias. I'm sure they'll plug it
• 35:17
  in later, but how much is the membership
• 35:18
  to join?
• 35:19
  >> Is it 1450?
• 35:22
  How much?
• 35:23
  >> 1450 a month.
• 35:25
  >> That's not bad. Netflix is more
• 35:26
  expensive.
• 35:28
  >> Why? Why? Why Netflix when you can play
• 35:30
  for the Plymouth?
• 35:32
  >> Hang on. But yeah, you can play for the
• 35:33
  Plymouth Vanguard. Um No. Um um it does
• 35:38
  seem like a really good club, you know.
• 35:40
  Um I I play for Chester Romans. And you
• 35:42
  talk about warm-up, by the way. Chester
• 35:44
  Romans pregame stretches. We used to
• 35:47
  have um In the Air Tonight by Phil
• 35:49
  Collins and we'd all be sat there doing
• 35:51
  our stretches and then the moment the
• 35:53
  drums we'd all run in Ric Flair woos
• 35:56
  going on. That was my favorite thing we
• 35:58
  we used to do at Chester but I left
• 36:00
  Chester I I joined Lan Buccaneers
• 36:02
  because the culture and everything just
• 36:03
  seemed absolutely spot on. There was a
• 36:05
  good bunch of guys the coaches and all
• 36:06
  that and um you know it was I went from
• 36:09
  div two sorry div one to to div two but
• 36:12
  it was the culture that's what attracted
• 36:14
  me. What what would you describe the
• 36:16
  culture like at Plymouth folks?
• 36:19
  >> It's uh very everyone takes
• 36:21
  accountability for each other. You know,
• 36:22
  if you make a mistake, someone's going
• 36:24
  to call you out on it, but they're not
• 36:26
  going to be, you know, they're not going
• 36:26
  to be harsh about it. They're going to
• 36:27
  say, "Look, this is let's work on it.
• 36:29
  Let's improve." There's been times I've
• 36:31
  seen maybe someone drops a ball during
• 36:33
  the game and then one of our um one of
• 36:36
  our tight ends, GTH, um he'll pull him
• 36:38
  aside and go, "Right, me and you are
• 36:39
  going to go and catch 10 balls on the
• 36:41
  sideline now before you go back in." And
• 36:43
  it's really good. Everyone always helps
• 36:45
  each other out.
• 36:46
  >> Um, we we we've got a question uh for
• 36:48
  Jack. Um, oh, and hello John. Uh, Jo.
• 36:52
  Um, I just seen he's watching. Um, Jack,
• 36:54
  as a rookie, what's the best piece of
• 36:56
  advice you were given when you first
• 36:57
  started? I'm going to assume to catch
• 36:59
  the ball. The best. Yeah. Uh, take a
• 37:03
  photo of the ball. You know, a lot of
• 37:05
  people I used to do it all the time. The
• 37:07
  ball's coming in. A lot of people tend
• 37:08
  to look away straight away and then you
• 37:11
  lose it. A lot. Everyone. Yeah. Everyone
• 37:14
  in our team has always said as soon as
• 37:16
  you feel the ball in your hands stare at
• 37:17
  it and take a photo and then that way
• 37:19
  you'll know it's secured and you know
• 37:21
  when I was in Tor Bay doing youth it was
• 37:23
  uh you know people used to celebrate if
• 37:25
  I caught a football during training you
• 37:27
  know it was it was that bad like I used
• 37:29
  to get a round of applause for catching
• 37:30
  one ball but uh yeah
• 37:33
  >> they don't quietly do that anymore. I
• 37:34
  >> I won't lie. So so they've got they've
• 37:37
  got me all I want to do is kick field
• 37:39
  goals this year and my my coach was like
• 37:40
  you're playing H slot. I was like okay
• 37:42
  what's that mean? I mean, I played line
• 37:43
  like seven, eight years. I don't know
• 37:45
  anything else. It's like, you're going
• 37:46
  to be catching the ball. They've yet to
• 37:48
  throw the ball at me. I've not really
• 37:49
  had much time anyway. And I I know I
• 37:51
  knew that because I'm very much a
• 37:52
  part-time player. But if they throw the
• 37:53
  ball to me and I catch it, whether it's
• 37:55
  a minus yards or plus yards, I promise
• 37:58
  you I'll go Facebook live doing karaoke
• 38:00
  with bottles of Jerger Meister and
• 38:02
  bottles of
• 38:04
  >> You can't get rid of that now.
• 38:06
  >> I don't wear.
• 38:07
  >> What's the What's the fancy dress going
• 38:08
  to be? Oh, we're doing f so Buccaneers
• 38:11
  and we're getting a coach there and on
• 38:12
  the way back we're getting a co coach
• 38:14
  back as as pirates.
• 38:16
  >> But what's your particular fancy dress
• 38:18
  going to be for when you catch your
• 38:20
  >> Oh, me. Um I don't know, mate. I've got
• 38:23
  a cheerleader outfit or whatever you
• 38:24
  Austin.
• 38:26
  We all heard it.
• 38:28
  >> You name it.
• 38:29
  >> Your QB because I'm going to message him
• 38:30
  in a minute and say,
• 38:31
  >> "Oh, mate, we got we got loads." Just
• 38:33
  message the Lan Buccaneers. They'll
• 38:34
  they'll they'll source that. But like
• 38:37
  it's such a good club, our club, and and
• 38:39
  your club gives me the same vibes. You
• 38:41
  know, you're all together and stuff like
• 38:42
  that. Um I I want to go to to to this
• 38:45
  picture here. This is your first ever
• 38:48
  training session. A Vanguard shirt. I
• 38:50
  will do karaoke in a Vanguard shirt.
• 38:51
  Yeah, sure, mate. Not a problem. I mean,
• 38:53
  >> David,
• 38:53
  >> yeah. We've got a catch of plus one is
• 38:56
  fantasy point regardless.
• 39:00
  >> Oh, hang on. We got some other comments
• 39:02
  here. Uh someone clipped that one. Books
• 39:04
  player throw the ball at you next
• 39:05
  weekend, please. Oh my god, what have I
• 39:07
  put myself in for you? But you
• 39:09
  >> That's why I wanted to make sure you
• 39:11
  said that sequence of words.
• 39:13
  >> Do you know what? Do you know on the
• 39:14
  record
• 39:15
  >> targets now, Matteo?
• 39:16
  >> Oh, mate. Mate, mate. Um, hang on.
• 39:19
  What's the plan for the Plymouth Fancy
• 39:20
  Dress Coach? Can I give you an example
• 39:22
  if you do have a fancy dress coach trip?
• 39:24
  Um, WWE wrestlers.
• 39:26
  >> Oh,
• 39:27
  >> that is a good one.
• 39:28
  >> Like, like I go I go hornswaggle.
• 39:36
  But but one of our guys for some reason
• 39:39
  every time there's a picture of him we
• 39:40
  put him we chat GB team and there's a
• 39:42
  picture as a duck and this this has gone
• 39:45
  v this has gone mental within our group
• 39:46
  chat and apparently he's going to be
• 39:48
  coming as a duck to our bus party but
• 39:50
  can you but can you imagine when we stop
• 39:53
  services if you're a security guard the
• 39:55
  plan is is he's going to run first and
• 39:58
  we're all going to chase him so imagine
• 39:59
  you're a security guard you can't be
• 40:00
  bothered working a Sunday you look up
• 40:02
  and you can see a giant 6'2 duck getting
• 40:06
  chased by 25 pirates drunk.
• 40:11
  >> It's going to happen. Um so, so
• 40:14
  Josh, you were here at this this
• 40:15
  training day.
• 40:16
  >> I'm the guy in the middle with an arm in
• 40:18
  the air.
• 40:18
  >> Okay. Um cuz that's the bottom line cuz
• 40:21
  Stone Cold said love that. Um how many
• 40:24
  of them plays are still there? You know,
• 40:26
  what did you learn from the first getgo?
• 40:27
  Give us some info.
• 40:28
  >> Um I'm trying to count now. I think
• 40:29
  there's about about three or four
• 40:33
  are still there from that group and none
• 40:35
  of the coaches. So, the notable ones are
• 40:39
  me and probably our one of our other QB
• 40:41
  except for um Alex are the ones in that
• 40:44
  picture that are still here. Um everyone
• 40:47
  else has either retired, moved on or or
• 40:49
  um yeah, gone to other teams.
• 40:52
  >> So, um
• 40:53
  >> is this Dave Morrison? Is this Dave
• 40:54
  Morrison here with the Orange?
• 40:56
  >> No, that's that's Tristan Walker. He
• 40:58
  played defensive line. He was our
• 41:00
  original number 99.
• 41:01
  >> Dude's a Viking.
• 41:03
  >> That's Seer in the Ravens t-shirt, isn't
• 41:04
  it?
• 41:05
  >> That's SEA in the Ravens t-shirt. Yeah.
• 41:06
  >> Um, sorry folks, we're always going to
• 41:08
  go for the comments. Uh, love the
• 41:09
  atmosphere around the Vanguard when I've
• 41:11
  been able to get down there for training
• 41:12
  and for the first game versus Rosa Land.
• 41:16
  Um, and then we've got comment from Joe
• 41:18
  Bishop. Give me a hell yeah. Um, Joe
• 41:20
  Bishop, I've been here for a while and
• 41:21
  this was before me. Um, oh god, all
• 41:23
  these comments going off here. Um,
• 41:26
  Jack, if you got his horns waggle, I'll
• 41:28
  have to go with Finley, right? And
• 41:30
  that's what Johnson said.
• 41:33
  >> Clip that. Um, why are all the QBs
• 41:36
  called Alex? Um, and someone's put nice
• 41:38
  beard though. Okay. Um, as you wait,
• 41:41
  Josh, before I really interrupted you, I
• 41:43
  do apologize. Comment.
• 41:44
  >> Um, I've got no idea what I was saying.
• 41:46
  Uh, yeah, like these these are all
• 41:48
  rookies really. Three or four senior
• 41:50
  players. um couple of Navy guys who have
• 41:53
  moved on up to different drafts and
• 41:55
  things like that. But yeah, I think we
• 41:56
  we had this and then we doubled our
• 41:58
  attendance uh for the second one. So we
• 42:00
  had these guys come back and then the
• 42:01
  same again. And ever since then, we've
• 42:03
  never really had less than 30 35 at
• 42:06
  practice, Jack, which sounds about
• 42:07
  right.
• 42:08
  >> How how many players and coaches are in
• 42:09
  your squad?
• 42:10
  >> Uh roster, baffer roster, uh it's 105. I
• 42:15
  just checked before I came on. We tend
• 42:17
  to take about anywhere between 48 and 55
• 42:20
  to a game.
• 42:22
  >> Wow.
• 42:23
  >> Like I said, a lot of dudes bought into
• 42:25
  the same goal.
• 42:27
  >> That's mental. I mean,
• 42:28
  >> so where's the other half?
• 42:31
  >> You tell me.
• 42:33
  >> Oh my god.
• 42:39
  >> Yeah, that that's why Josh is not saying
• 42:40
  anything.
• 42:41
  >> I look at the roster as I'm going
• 42:43
  through with the opposition. I'm like,
• 42:44
  "Yeah, he's not here. He's not here.
• 42:45
  He's not here. He's not here.
• 42:47
  >> Alex, your face when he said that was
• 42:49
  like the noise was the old Wi-Fi
• 42:51
  connecting noise like the
• 42:53
  >> Oh my god. Um, okay. So, as it stands,
• 42:57
  you guys are in the playoffs. Okay.
• 43:00
  You're top your top seed in your group
• 43:01
  because IPS which have you've lost the
• 43:02
  game. IPS which have got number one
• 43:04
  seed. Who is it? Is it Valley? You be
• 43:06
  standing to play
• 43:08
  >> Valley? Okay. So, let's let's say you
• 43:10
  win next week
• 43:13
  >> and you play Valley. What's going to
• 43:14
  happen?
• 43:17
  Go on, boys.
• 43:18
  >> Going to win.
• 43:20
  >> What?
• 43:21
  >> They're coming to Plymouth to
• 43:23
  >> Yeah.
• 43:24
  >> Oh,
• 43:24
  >> that's a tough journey.
• 43:26
  >> We're going to have to open up a We're
• 43:27
  going to have to open up a can of wolf.
• 43:30
  >> Um reference.
• 43:32
  >> Um yeah, I think I checked it out as a 4
• 43:34
  and a half hour coach journey. So for a
• 43:40
  >> mate, I did that last in the last game
• 43:42
  against Gates. It was four four and a
• 43:44
  half hours um there. Four and a half
• 43:46
  hours back.
• 43:46
  >> It's it's just not easy. Um you know,
• 43:48
  it's not conducive to go and play a game
• 43:50
  if you're going to sit down and coaching
• 43:51
  that long.
• 43:52
  >> Yeah.
• 43:52
  >> And then get up and do something really
• 43:54
  physical.
• 43:55
  >> I think the furthest we've traveled so
• 43:57
  far was was it not the preseason against
• 43:58
  Oxford?
• 44:00
  >> Like I do that on purpose. I always pick
• 44:02
  a really long game, a really tough
• 44:04
  opponent. Uh we we purposely always play
• 44:07
  um a team that are are above our
• 44:10
  predicted standard for game one. Um and
• 44:13
  then we will um also make sure it's a
• 44:15
  decent travel. You can tell the guys
• 44:17
  that are bought in that really want to
• 44:18
  be there and and it sort of builds that
• 44:20
  culture and away game's always great
• 44:23
  because the guys gone to coach together.
• 44:24
  They build friendships. It's always
• 44:26
  always great.
• 44:28
  >> I I have to ask a question uh because it
• 44:30
  was on before. I don't know if any of
• 44:31
  you watched it, but it was mindblowing.
• 44:34
  Um did anyone watch the London Warriors
• 44:36
  game by the way?
• 44:37
  >> I wasn't able to catch it. No,
• 44:40
  >> that last last sack had me out of my
• 44:44
  skin.
• 44:45
  >> I nearly broke my MacBook. It dropped.
• 44:47
  Like I was literally celebrating like it
• 44:49
  was it was my team. Like like for for
• 44:51
  anyone who doesn't know, London
• 44:53
  Warriors, they scored um a touchdown and
• 44:55
  converted the field goal with 40 seconds
• 44:57
  to go and um
• 45:00
  they they sacked with the the player
• 45:03
  from Alpine Rams with literally the last
• 45:05
  second of the game. Brilliant game.
• 45:07
  Really good. Well done. Well done to
• 45:08
  London Warriors. Um, what what your
• 45:10
  thoughts on all the European stuff, the
• 45:11
  EFA, the AFL?
• 45:14
  >> I love it. I think it's great going on.
• 45:16
  >> As much European football as possible,
• 45:17
  as much football as possible, the more
• 45:19
  the better.
• 45:21
  >> Yeah.
• 45:22
  >> Yeah. I think now that we've got a team
• 45:25
  that represents the whole of the United
• 45:27
  Kingdom, I think that's great. It gives
• 45:29
  it gives all the young guys
• 45:31
  >> Yeah.
• 45:32
  >> a path to look towards and
• 45:34
  >> somewhere they can go to. um not just
• 45:37
  thinking, oh, I've got to go to I've got
• 45:40
  to go straight to D1 and if I want to
• 45:42
  make to the NFL, I've got to go to
• 45:43
  America. Do you know what I mean? So,
• 45:45
  now there's there's an option and that's
• 45:48
  not as maybe costly or they don't have
• 45:50
  to go elsewhere in Europe um as well as
• 45:53
  the NFL academy, of course.
• 45:55
  >> So, yeah, I think I think it's great and
• 45:56
  it's more football for us to watch. I
• 45:58
  >> I have a question for Josh. Um Josh, you
• 46:01
  you like you you seem to me like you
• 46:04
  like a challenge.
• 46:06
  Would you ever arrange a game against a
• 46:08
  division division 2 team in like Germany
• 46:10
  or France?
• 46:12
  >> Oh, so three goals for Vanguard. Okay,
• 46:15
  these are my three these are these
• 46:16
  aren't sequential order.
• 46:18
  >> Um live streamed game with commentary
• 46:24
  um is to play a game um abroad. I can't
• 46:28
  remember the third. I've put myself on
• 46:30
  the spot and completely
• 46:32
  >> completely got it.
• 46:34
  >> That's that kind of comes with the rest
• 46:35
  though. But yeah, but like so like my
• 46:36
  off the field stuff. I I would love to
• 46:38
  play um love to play a game in Europe
• 46:42
  and that would kind of that would tick a
• 46:43
  massive box for us. It's just a case of
• 46:45
  we need to find the finance to make sure
• 46:48
  that the guys aren't aren't paying for
• 46:50
  all the travel. Um but we would want to
• 46:52
  go away. We want to go and make a make a
• 46:54
  make a weekend.
• 46:55
  >> Be be brilliant. We've had another
• 46:57
  comment. Berkshire to beat Ipsswitch
• 46:59
  from ES18178.
• 47:01
  They clearly don't like Ipsswitch. Um
• 47:04
  and then Joe Bishop do it Joss. Um and I
• 47:08
  think we got another comment here to
• 47:10
  tour to that's from Pat Turner. Pat
• 47:11
  Turner seems very very keen.
• 47:14
  >> I don't know who Pat Turner is, but hey
• 47:15
  Pat. Um
• 47:16
  >> one of our DBs.
• 47:17
  >> Yeah.
• 47:18
  >> Okay. Okay. Um one thing I love is is is
• 47:21
  your guys social media. I think it's
• 47:23
  absolutely fantastic. So, what I'm going
• 47:25
  to do, I'm actually going to play a very
• 47:26
  loud clip. I do apologize. It is quite
• 47:28
  loud. Um, but here's a clip from you
• 47:32
  guys.
• 48:17
  Great little promo clip there. Um you're
• 48:20
  who who does your media by the way? Like
• 48:21
  who does all them clips for you?
• 48:24
  >> Uh I've got quite a lot of um different
• 48:26
  photographers and videographers that
• 48:27
  some of them will show up certain game
• 48:29
  days, some of them won't. But um I think
• 48:31
  from the top of my head we've got Tom
• 48:33
  Anthony Media, Reese Foster, um and then
• 48:37
  I think Jos's wife, um Roxy, she does
• 48:40
  lots of photography for us as well, Roxy
• 48:41
  Ta. So yeah, we got loads of even some
• 48:44
  of our players, you know, sometimes if
• 48:45
  they they're not there to play or
• 48:46
  they're injured, um they they'll bring
• 48:48
  out a camera. It's really good. Everyone
• 48:50
  wants to make sure that our social media
• 48:52
  level is is at the best it can be.
• 48:56
  >> Um I I asked you before about um
• 49:00
  Valley and you guys think you're going
• 49:01
  to win. Um how do you think you're going
• 49:02
  to get on um against Swindon?
• 49:06
  >> Same answer. Ain't nothing changed.
• 49:08
  >> Oh yeah. Like like give me give I'll
• 49:11
  tell you what. Um I'm I'm going to pick
• 49:14
  this as my game of the week next week.
• 49:15
  So this will be the one where people
• 49:17
  come in. I think it's 80 pound. 80.
• 49:19
  Sorry. One minute.
• 49:19
  >> 80.
• 49:21
  >> 80. Um
• 49:24
  >> what score? Give me Go on. Let
• 49:26
  >> You know what? I was looking at the
• 49:27
  scoreboard, right? And we're on we're on
• 49:30
  160 points.
• 49:32
  >> Mhm.
• 49:32
  >> I want that 200.
• 49:35
  >> Okay.
• 49:36
  Do you think
• 49:37
  >> 40 points to what?
• 49:40
  >> Come on, Alex.
• 49:40
  >> With our defense, less than 10.
• 49:42
  >> So, 40 points to 10. 40 points to 10.
• 49:44
  Yeah. Okay. Jack, what you
• 49:47
  >> I'll go alongside with Alex here. You
• 49:48
  know, I like we've got to be confident
• 49:49
  or, you know, you got to have the right
• 49:51
  mentality for it. So, I'll say 40 to8.
• 49:54
  >> 40 points to you here first.
• 49:58
  And that is Oh, hang on. Let me let Josh
• 49:59
  back on. I'll get his prediction. Is he
• 50:01
  coming back on? He has two points. Um,
• 50:04
  Jos, um, I would like to know your
• 50:06
  prediction score for the game next week.
• 50:12
  Can Can you hear me, mate?
• 50:15
  >> Josh, can you hear me?
• 50:18
  >> Nope.
• 50:24
  >> Okay, mate. We want to know um who you
• 50:26
  think is going Sorry, what you think is
• 50:28
  going to be the score next week.
• 50:32
  Uh, let's go with
• 50:38
  35 to7.
• 50:40
  >> 35 points to seven. Question. Do you
• 50:42
  think the time travel makes a huge
• 50:44
  difference as players? I'm going to go
• 50:45
  to you, Jack, on this one.
• 50:48
  >> Uh, yeah. They absolutely can cuz you
• 50:50
  know it's like Jos said earlier you know
• 50:51
  you drive four and a half five hours sat
• 50:54
  down on a coach maybe you get one
• 50:56
  service station stop and then you know
• 50:58
  as traveling players you get there later
• 50:59
  than the home team. So we get maybe an
• 51:02
  hour two hours pregame and then we've
• 51:04
  got to go and play 90 minutes of
• 51:06
  football. So it it can be quite taxing
• 51:08
  just sat there the whole time. But yeah
• 51:11
  it definitely does. That's why you see
• 51:13
  quite a lot of teams who people expect
• 51:15
  to win certain games. Maybe they travel
• 51:18
  and then they lose and people go, "Well,
• 51:19
  how come they lost?" And well, maybe
• 51:20
  it's because some of their players can't
• 51:22
  make the travel or they can't go that
• 51:23
  far because they've got to be here on
• 51:25
  Monday, this and that.
• 51:26
  >> Yeah.
• 51:26
  >> So, yeah, in Brickball, it does make a
• 51:28
  big difference to traveling.
• 51:30
  >> An example to add to that as well is
• 51:32
  we've got a player in our team, left
• 51:34
  tackle 66. We call him Bubbles.
• 51:38
  >> Bubbles.
• 51:40
  >> And he must
• 51:43
  he's like 6' five. Yeah, he's like six
• 51:46
  foot five and more than 150 kg probably
• 51:50
  with ease.
• 51:51
  >> Yeah. And imagine him on a National
• 51:53
  Express coach or any sort of coach going
• 51:55
  four hours up the road somewhere and
• 51:57
  then getting off
• 51:59
  >> and then having to play a game.
• 52:00
  >> How often do you guys train?
• 52:03
  >> We do once a week on a Sunday until we
• 52:06
  lost a game and then we started
• 52:08
  implementing um Wednesday unofficial
• 52:10
  sessions because we hated the fact we
• 52:12
  lost a game so much.
• 52:13
  >> Love that. Love that.
• 52:15
  >> Funny story. Po postgame loss, me and
• 52:18
  Jos started running laps as a punishment
• 52:20
  for losing a game.
• 52:22
  >> Hey, be a champion of victory, be a
• 52:23
  champion defeat.
• 52:24
  >> Charles, if you just joined me, we
• 52:26
  started doing laps.
• 52:27
  >> Okay. Um, I have a Right. So, we've
• 52:30
  mentioned the Swindon and we've
• 52:31
  mentioned Valley. Okay, let's say you
• 52:33
  get to the final. A lot of people saying
• 52:35
  it's going to be IP switch. Maybe it
• 52:36
  will, maybe it won't. But if you get to
• 52:37
  the final switch, are you winning?
• 52:40
  >> We're going to face the Swinden Storm
• 52:41
  for once. So,
• 52:44
  I love the storm for seeing.
• 52:46
  >> So, so you think the Swindter Storm will
• 52:48
  beat um Ipsswitch?
• 52:50
  >> Yeah. So, like I've kind of I've sat
• 52:54
  I've married up how how they how they
• 52:56
  face each other. I think that I think
• 52:58
  that Swindon have got everything they
• 53:00
  need to to beat them on the right.
• 53:03
  >> So, like we my team had this last year.
• 53:07
  So, we finished second. It was the
• 53:08
  Goolag season last year and we were
• 53:10
  going up against um Humbra and everyone
• 53:12
  was like Humber will beat beat beat beat
• 53:14
  beat beat beat beat beat beat beat beat
• 53:14
  beat beat beat beat beat beat us they've
• 53:15
  played eight games they've won eight
• 53:16
  games and what it was was the league
• 53:19
  that they were in at that time
• 53:20
  particularly wasn't that great and when
• 53:22
  they came up against us we actually I
• 53:23
  think we won like 26 to points to five
• 53:26
  or something like that. Is that what
• 53:28
  you're saying here? Maybe I switch
• 53:30
  league isn't as good as your league.
• 53:32
  um
• 53:35
  just from looking at the the um it's
• 53:38
  either going to be one of two ways,
• 53:39
  right? It's either ridiculously balanced
• 53:41
  >> and every team is is literally winning
• 53:44
  by um
• 53:47
  what one or two players on the field or
• 53:49
  being the better team on the day or they
• 53:52
  are not good as like Burns or the Storm.
• 53:55
  Like if Storm were in that division,
• 53:57
  would they be top? That's it.
• 54:00
  >> We've we've got a few comments here.
• 54:01
  We've got one from Wakefield Raiders.
• 54:03
  Shouts out to Jack, the Raiders favorite
• 54:04
  Vanguard player. Hopefully, we can meet
• 54:06
  in person in the D two final. Uh,
• 54:09
  >> any any team with the name Raiders, I'm
• 54:10
  obviously going to gravitate towards
• 54:12
  them, but obviously Vanguard comes
• 54:13
  first.
• 54:15
  >> That's my boys.
• 54:17
  >> Um, Afro Dan, who's your favorite
• 54:19
  receiver?

  >> Yeah. Yeah. Favorite receiver?
• 54:28
  >> Yeah.
• 54:29
  >> All of them, I think. Oh, that's a copo.
• 54:31
  Uh, oh, actually on the topic of
• 54:33
  traveling, especially from Plymouth to
• 54:34
  Swindon, how are you guys feeling
• 54:36
  numberwise? How many guys have you got
• 54:37
  for this game?
• 54:39
  >> Um,
• 54:41
  I don't know. It's easy way to find out.
• 54:43
  I've got a list. Uh, I've got a list. I
• 54:45
  made it. It should beifs
• 54:50
  like early 50s.
• 54:52
  >> That's away game. That's great. Um, so
• 54:56
  it has been going really well on the
• 54:57
  field. I'm going to put a clip on Um,
• 55:00
  let's let's have a little look at this.
• 55:01
  Um,
• 55:02
  >> is this the lineman touchdown from
• 55:04
  Cornwall?
• 55:05
  >> Hang on. I've got a comment here. No,
• 55:07
  no,
• 55:10
  >> no. I've got a comment here. You know
• 55:12
  about cop outs and say I've never cpped
• 55:14
  out of anything, have I? Um, maybe.
• 55:16
  Don't know. Blame the red wine. Um,
• 55:18
  let's put this clip on. Um,
• 55:35
  Brilliant. Who's that guy in the
• 55:36
  background just like sprinting down the
• 55:40
  >> Is that you?
• 55:41
  >> Yeah.
• 55:59
  That is absolutely fantastic. Oh, Jack,
• 56:02
  I
• 56:02
  >> I'll tell you the real reason I actually
• 56:04
  did that. And Dan, I'm really sorry, but
• 56:06
  um me and Dan Oats, the person who
• 56:08
  scored the touchdown, we were at Tobay
• 56:10
  together. That's where we first met
• 56:12
  really. Uh and as soon as I saw him pull
• 56:14
  that ball in, I thought, I can't let him
• 56:16
  have good photos. I just had to get in I
• 56:18
  had to get in his way to try and ruin it
• 56:21
  as much as I could.
• 56:23
  >> Oh, you're a terrible person. Uh we
• 56:25
  we've got a few comments here.
• 56:29
  >> If you could play any Northern Div 2
• 56:31
  team or any Prem team, who would you
• 56:32
  want to face? Let's Let's say the
• 56:34
  Northern Div 2 team because that's who
• 56:35
  you're going to play. Who what in the
• 56:37
  final? You've got the options of
• 56:38
  Rosendale, really good team. Lancasher,
• 56:40
  really good team. Um Lincoln Bombers,
• 56:43
  really really good team and Wakefield
• 56:44
  Raiders or Birmingham as well. Two
• 56:46
  really good teams. I've said really good
• 56:47
  too many times there. Um, but who would
• 56:48
  you want to play?
• 56:51
  >> Oh, wait.
• 56:54
  >> The the final is in is in Stafford
• 56:56
  Sergees ground, so it doesn't matter.
• 56:58
  >> Okay.
• 56:59
  >> Who who do you want to play in the
• 57:00
  final?
• 57:00
  >> So, we play the Rosendale Bucks in our
• 57:03
  associate league. Those guys are great.
• 57:05
  Yeah, they're they're great. Yeah, they
• 57:07
  traveled down to us uh to play down when
• 57:09
  we played at different pitch and Yeah,
• 57:11
  they were a great team. Um really like
• 57:13
  those guys. I would like to see Ollie
• 57:16
  Hamer again though. That would be that
• 57:17
  would be a great
• 57:18
  >> Yes. Yes. Okay.
• 57:22
  >> Jents. Anyone else?
• 57:24
  >> It's got to be Wakefield.
• 57:24
  >> Lancasher.
• 57:26
  >> Okay. Two for Lancaster, one for
• 57:28
  Wakefield.
• 57:29
  >> Oh, to be fair, Lancasher would be good.
• 57:30
  Yeah. Play against you.
• 57:32
  >> Yeah. You get to see me. Yeah.
• 57:35
  >> We get to see you catch that ball.
• 57:36
  >> Um
• 57:39
  >> 22 and everything. Um we've got some
• 57:41
  comments here. Um, we've got, um, Jack
• 57:43
  screaming for a lateral. Speedy Gonzalez
• 57:46
  right there. Um, oh, and also,
• 57:49
  oh, oh, also, are you bringing the merch
• 57:51
  on your tour? I assume you will be. Um,
• 57:54
  away game merch type beats. Um, Diesel
• 57:57
  here, that's the fastest I've seen Jack
• 57:58
  run. Reunion with Foggy in the final.
• 58:02
  Um, Instagram. What have we got on
• 58:03
  Instagram? Some of us play Oline and
• 58:05
  sprinting anywhere is a hassle.
• 58:10
  Oh my god. Right. Um, gents, what is the
• 58:13
  plan? What, you know, this season, next
• 58:15
  season, what what's the plan over the
• 58:17
  next few years for Plymouth
• 58:20
  >> when win?
• 58:22
  >> Okay, Josh.
• 58:23
  >> Yeah. Um, I mean, obviously I'd love to
• 58:27
  um I'd love to take the uh the sort of
• 58:30
  like the glory of winning the div 2
• 58:32
  crown, but ultimately I think div one
• 58:33
  and div two are going to emerge next
• 58:34
  year anyway. That's that's how I can see
• 58:36
  everything falling. Um there's been
• 58:40
  rumors for a while, two years. Um
• 58:42
  they've been trying to do it. I think I
• 58:44
  think it's the right thing. I know a lot
• 58:46
  of people don't, but I think it drives
• 58:48
  those teams that are not um quite as
• 58:52
  capable as the others to a high hold
• 58:54
  them to a higher standard.
• 58:56
  >> Me personally, I don't want it.
• 58:58
  >> You don't want it?
• 58:59
  >> I'll tell you why I don't want it. Um
• 59:00
  merge prem. Don't you want the Prem? Um
• 59:04
  I don't think it benefits a lot of div 2
• 59:08
  teams. There are some people who just
• 59:10
  want to play this sport train once a
• 59:12
  week. The people who want to get
• 59:13
  promoted are doing what you guys doing
• 59:14
  in div 2 training twice a week a few few
• 59:17
  zoom calls. There are team that no one
• 59:19
  should not be able to play this sport.
• 59:21
  And I think doing that would you'd have
• 59:22
  teams like Cornwall teams like Lee team
• 59:26
  you know other teams that are going to
• 59:28
  struggle. And I'll give you an example a
• 59:30
  live example. Abedine Ruff Necks. Look
• 59:33
  what's happened to them this season.
• 59:34
  They're a div two team. They should be
• 59:35
  playing in div two. You know, they're in
• 59:36
  a div one team. We've got ridiculously
• 59:39
  hard games including two tough fixtures
• 59:40
  against Newcastle Vikings. That's what
• 59:42
  you're going to see. How is a team going
• 59:44
  to retain players? What do you learn
• 59:46
  from getting beat 100 nil? Some bits,
• 59:48
  but not much. That's my argument for it.
• 59:50
  I love football. I think it's the best
• 59:52
  thing in the world. And I think I I get
• 59:56
  why people want it. I do get why people
• 59:57
  want it. It would make traveling a hell
• 59:59
  of a lot easier as well for a lot of
• 1:00:00
  teams. But I think you have to look at
• 1:00:02
  the bigger picture as well.
• 1:00:04
  >> I think ultimately it's where do you
• 1:00:06
  want the sport to go? Do we want
• 1:00:07
  something that's on a par with uh the
• 1:00:10
  European leagues or with even some small
• 1:00:14
  high school games at the US? Do we want
• 1:00:17
  that
• 1:00:18
  >> or do we want pub teams kicking over on
• 1:00:21
  Sunday uh that no one really goes to
• 1:00:23
  watch? I see nothing wrong with having a
• 1:00:25
  league and then having teams that are
• 1:00:27
  associates. They can organize their
• 1:00:29
  engage with covenant and insurance. They
• 1:00:30
  can have baffer officials but they don't
• 1:00:32
  detract away from what's already
• 1:00:34
  happening. Um and then
• 1:00:38
  if they choose to, you know, let's say
• 1:00:40
  let's say us for example, we built a
• 1:00:41
  good culture. We were in a place where
• 1:00:43
  we're able to be. We had good teams, a
• 1:00:46
  good staff. We said we're ready to enter
• 1:00:47
  the league. We're ready to play some
• 1:00:49
  competitive.
• 1:00:49
  >> Yeah.
• 1:00:49
  >> We go and do that. So there's nothing
• 1:00:52
  wrong with doing that. Like people think
• 1:00:53
  that you've got to go one year associate
• 1:00:55
  straight into the league. There's
• 1:00:56
  nothing wrong with with being I think
• 1:00:58
  Rosundelle were were planning on they
• 1:00:59
  did a year associate and maybe year half
• 1:01:02
  associate because Baffford put them in
• 1:01:03
  the league as long as they would play
• 1:01:04
  certain teams. Now they've come in a
• 1:01:06
  stormer.
• 1:01:08
  That was always going to happen in
• 1:01:09
  Rosendale. Rosenddale would play anyone.
• 1:01:11
  I helped a Ranger friendly between
• 1:01:12
  Chester Romans and Rossenddale. Um I was
• 1:01:17
  I was bouncing off the wall when I found
• 1:01:19
  out Ross and Dale beat Nighthawks in one
• 1:01:21
  of their um in their games. Um
• 1:01:25
  Rosdale are really really I'm a big fan
• 1:01:28
  of them. Um and they're learning and
• 1:01:30
  they're going and learning and they're
• 1:01:31
  doing it in the right way. Kind of like
• 1:01:32
  you guys as as well because it's your
• 1:01:35
  second season. You're still gonna be
• 1:01:36
  learning stuff. Um but can't remember a
• 1:01:39
  team being as good as them in the debut
• 1:01:41
  season. I think it's absolutely
• 1:01:42
  brilliant. I think it's good for
• 1:01:43
  football as well. Um, and in an area
• 1:01:46
  that's there's a lot of teams, you know,
• 1:01:48
  within an hour's drive of me, there's
• 1:01:50
  Staffordshire Surge, there's Chester
• 1:01:52
  Romans, Mside Night Talks, Manchester
• 1:01:54
  Titans, Lancaster Buccaneers, uh, Mside
• 1:01:56
  Night Talks, I've not already said them.
• 1:01:58
  Ross and Dale Books, there's there's
• 1:01:59
  quite a lot of teams, you know, with
• 1:02:00
  within the hour. Um, so fair play to
• 1:02:03
  them. Um,
• 1:02:06
  my wife's home. Okay, we'll see what's
• 1:02:08
  going on there. Um, but no, fair play to
• 1:02:10
  them. Um, brilliant club and it doesn't
• 1:02:12
  surprise me and it wouldn't seem me it
• 1:02:14
  wouldn't surprise me if if they won next
• 1:02:15
  week and they had a decent playoff run
• 1:02:17
  as well. It it is going to be an
• 1:02:18
  interesting season. Um, gents, we are
• 1:02:21
  coming to the end of the show. I want to
• 1:02:24
  thank you all for coming on. I really do
• 1:02:25
  wish you the best of luck for the rest
• 1:02:27
  of the season. And you know what? I hope
• 1:02:28
  we do see you at the final because we'll
• 1:02:29
  have a bloody good drink after it and
• 1:02:31
  you'll see me on karaoke 100%. Um,
• 1:02:35
  before we leave, how can people get in
• 1:02:37
  contact to play for Plymouth Vanguard
• 1:02:38
  for next season? Um, if you happen to
• 1:02:41
  live within within the catchment area of
• 1:02:43
  Plymouth, um, any anyone on social
• 1:02:45
  media, I I run all social media
• 1:02:47
  channels. Everything comes through to me
• 1:02:48
  anyway. Um, so yeah, the best way is
• 1:02:51
  just just just reach out, come along. I
• 1:02:53
  know that the transfer window is closed,
• 1:02:54
  but next year we are we will be
• 1:02:56
  accepting accepting new players.
• 1:02:59
  >> Um, guys, I really want to thank you for
• 1:03:01
  coming on the show. Um,
• 1:03:04
  we will we'd love to have you on again
• 1:03:06
  whether it's on the the Audible, whether
• 1:03:08
  it's on Monday Night Huddle. Um,
• 1:03:11
  you know, I think I believe you have a
• 1:03:13
  lady player. I might have missed seen
• 1:03:15
  that before. Is that correct?
• 1:03:17
  >> Yes, we could send her your way.
• 1:03:19
  >> Yeah, we've got her huddled. We'd love
• 1:03:20
  to get her on that. Or the the NFL um
• 1:03:23
  stuff or or the Britall stuff. Um,
• 1:03:25
  stream the Swinden game. We all need to
• 1:03:27
  see it. There's a lot of people who want
• 1:03:28
  to see that stream. Maybe I don't know,
• 1:03:29
  maybe you can pull something out the
• 1:03:30
  bag. got facilities to do it, but we
• 1:03:32
  just um we're not going to do it unless
• 1:03:33
  we can do a proper
• 1:03:34
  >> I love that.
• 1:03:35
  >> Sorry, I do have one quick question from
• 1:03:37
  one of our linemen towards Alex. Uh
• 1:03:39
  Alex,
• 1:03:40
  >> Joe Bishop would like to know, who is
• 1:03:42
  the best offensive lineman under 5'7
• 1:03:44
  that you've ever played with?
• 1:03:50
  >> Answer the question.
• 1:03:51
  >> It has to be him, doesn't it?
• 1:03:52
  >> I think he's the only one we've ever
• 1:03:54
  played with.
• 1:03:55
  >> Oh,
• 1:03:56
  >> the only one I've ever played. We we've
• 1:03:58
  got one more question and we're going to
• 1:03:59
  finish on this question.
• 1:04:00
  >> Well, do you mind if I chime one thing
• 1:04:02
  at the end? Maybe a little snippet.
• 1:04:03
  >> You do you do that and then I'll do the
• 1:04:04
  question.
• 1:04:05
  >> Okay. Um I my phone overheated. It's
• 1:04:07
  totally dead. I don't know what
• 1:04:09
  >> Okay.
• 1:04:09
  >> Um so uh that's why I flipped this but
• 1:04:11
  um uh with your you were talking about
• 1:04:13
  social media.
• 1:04:14
  >> Yes.
• 1:04:15
  >> Pay £370 a game uh for our team. I know
• 1:04:18
  a lot of teams don't they have free
• 1:04:20
  photographers etc. So we have two
• 1:04:22
  videographers, a videographer and the VO
• 1:04:24
  which we use for everything. So that's
• 1:04:25
  why it all looks so good. I can't take
• 1:04:27
  any credit. They provide me with
• 1:04:28
  finished products and I schedule them.
• 1:04:30
  But I think that's what does set us
• 1:04:32
  apart is we are willing to pay the
• 1:04:34
  auxiliaries that we have around the team
• 1:04:37
  instead of relying on a free
• 1:04:38
  photographer to turn up and do half a
• 1:04:39
  job. We we we pay the guys that work.
• 1:04:41
  >> I love that. I love that.
• 1:04:42
  >> We've got a media university in
• 1:04:44
  Plymouth, one of the best in the
• 1:04:46
  country.
• 1:04:46
  >> So it'd be silly for us not to use those
• 1:04:48
  people. So we've got Tom Ree who are the
• 1:04:52
  pros that do it. My wife Roxy as well is
• 1:04:54
  pretty damn good. So they uh they come
• 1:04:56
  out and they make us look so good.
• 1:04:58
  >> Yeah.
• 1:04:59
  >> Um we've we've got we've got a few
• 1:05:01
  comments here. Um just just on that, by
• 1:05:04
  the way, I do want to say
• 1:05:07
  you you guys look set for Diva, you
• 1:05:09
  know, like you've set yourself up for
• 1:05:10
  div one. So if it does come into place,
• 1:05:12
  you can get them streams going on. Um
• 1:05:14
  and with your squad size, you are
• 1:05:16
  looking like a really really good club.
• 1:05:17
  That's Tommy Brown knows, you know, I
• 1:05:19
  would say, you know, if it didn't think
• 1:05:20
  so, I'd say use it in the right
• 1:05:21
  direction if if you get what I mean. Um,
• 1:05:23
  so we've got a few comments here.
• 1:05:24
