Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wake up with a plang.
- 0:04Speaker 2: And the club nine four seven.
- 0:06Speaker 3: One question that I am dying to ask in lieu
- 0:09Speaker 3: of all the sporting activity that we are faced with
- 0:12Speaker 3: every single day. I mean, doesn't supersport have like nineteen channels.
- 0:16Speaker 1: So many everywhere?
- 0:17Speaker 3: Look this cricket and then there, and then there's soccer,
- 0:20Speaker 3: and then there's rugby, and and then there's cycling, and
- 0:25Speaker 3: then there's golf, and then there's Formula one. My question
- 0:28Speaker 3: is are you ever allowed to change your team?
- 0:35Speaker 4: Well?
- 0:35Speaker 5: I think we've all had to do that during this
- 0:37Speaker 5: World Cup because you keep jumping from one team to
- 0:39Speaker 5: the next until they fall out.
- 0:40Speaker 3: Right, Okay, so national team, I think it goes.
- 0:42Speaker 1: Without saying, yeah, you got to pick it up.
- 0:44Speaker 3: Weird for me to not support, for you to not
- 0:45Speaker 3: support your national just just don't do that, right. And
- 0:48Speaker 3: then when your national team sadly, you know, doesn't make
- 0:51Speaker 3: the round of sixteen, then you're like, okay, this is
- 0:54Speaker 3: where I'm going, right. So I get that, especially in
- 0:57Speaker 3: this World Cup, But are you alive to have grown
- 1:01Speaker 3: up as a case that you fan and then you decide,
- 1:03Speaker 3: you know what, it's okay, I'm moving to sundowns.
- 1:07Speaker 2: It's such an interesting one because it was great being
- 1:10Speaker 2: a Man United fan and like the nineties, early two thousands,
- 1:13Speaker 2: and then after you know, I think we're bet Alex
- 1:16Speaker 2: focus and announced his retirement on the eighth of May
- 1:18Speaker 2: twenty thirteen. It was like a slippery slide down and
- 1:22Speaker 2: then you kind of go, I don't know if I
- 1:24Speaker 2: can do this anymore, like why why do I support
- 1:27Speaker 2: this team? Like hang on a second, and then you
- 1:30Speaker 2: find it a lot with It's so funny because people
- 1:32Speaker 2: will say, like, who do you support, and if you
- 1:35Speaker 2: say a team like Man City, then you'll say.
- 1:39Speaker 1: Oh, only only some super support man Yeah, but.
- 1:43Speaker 3: Wait, hang on, Soince twenty thirteen, that's what thirteen years
- 1:47Speaker 3: and six oh no, we've been having it. Yeah, and
- 1:50Speaker 3: thirteen years of a tough time. It's okay, we're coming back, Sidy.
- 1:52Speaker 3: I'm telling you now I can feeling bubbles.
- 1:54Speaker 2: But it's fascinating because people, people in the comments.
- 1:56Speaker 1: Section of all these things will say.
- 1:57Speaker 3: Oh, you're a plastic fan, but why okay? And why
- 2:01Speaker 3: does it only apply to teams, Because when it comes
- 2:04Speaker 3: to tennis, you could be an alchorist fan and then
- 2:06Speaker 3: the next thing you're like, actually, I.
- 2:08Speaker 1: Want to go with Sinner.
- 2:09Speaker 5: Oh yeah, same thing in Wimbledon, and I've had to
- 2:10Speaker 5: switch many times now because my favorites keep pulling out.
- 2:13Speaker 3: Yeah. But even in general, when you decide that, you
- 2:17Speaker 3: know what, Amanda coul I don't like you, I'm going
- 2:19Speaker 3: for Stavid Graft, that was allowed. But as soon as
- 2:21Speaker 3: it's a team, all of a sudden, hang on because
- 2:23Speaker 3: even with f one, right, it's allowed where people like
- 2:27Speaker 3: I don't like Lando Norris anymore, I now support you know,
- 2:30Speaker 3: Lewis Hamilton.
- 2:30Speaker 1: But that's the question. Is it allowed.
- 2:33Speaker 5: Is it allowed to just jump from the one team,
- 2:35Speaker 5: because now everyone used to be a McLaren fan, and
- 2:38Speaker 5: now they're not so fast anymore.
- 2:40Speaker 1: Now we're jumping.
- 2:42Speaker 6: So you can leave a marriage, leave a job, leave
- 2:46Speaker 6: a religion, right, leave a group of friends, primary school,
- 2:51Speaker 6: leave a country, But leaving a football team is where
- 2:54Speaker 6: everyone wants to draw the line.
- 2:56Speaker 2: Yes, yes, that is exactly you are. Okay, we're fine,
- 3:00Speaker 2: Thank you so much for asking.
- 3:01Speaker 1: Does a doctor he comes in tuesdays? We can have
- 3:03Speaker 1: you checked out.
- 3:04Speaker 2: No, you can't change teams. That's it. It's like a
- 3:06Speaker 2: it's like a loyalty thing.
- 3:07Speaker 3: I think, oh one one eighty eight thirty eight nine
- 3:10Speaker 3: four seven. Is Cindy correct by saying you cannot change teams?
- 3:15Speaker 3: It's a loyalty thing. And I want to go as
- 3:17Speaker 3: far as have you ever done it? Have you ever
- 3:19Speaker 3: changed teams? And what's the backlash? Do you miss those
- 3:22Speaker 3: friends who've since shunned you because they were just like, No,
- 3:25Speaker 3: you said you were Liverpool. You cannot possibly say you
- 3:28Speaker 3: are now Arsenal.
- 3:29Speaker 2: I must say you absolutely can't. I'm just asking how
- 3:32Speaker 2: do you sleep at night?
- 3:33Speaker 5: I can imagine in my syst I can imagine every
- 3:37Speaker 5: time you walk into the pub with your friends to
- 3:39Speaker 5: watch the game, they go, oh, here we go, here
- 3:41Speaker 5: we come, here it comes again night.
- 3:42Speaker 3: What do you do with your SCUFLF or your jersey?

- 4:18Speaker 9: would understand. Betweenty two years, I couldn't leave Arsenal and
- 4:21Speaker 9: it's finally paid off. I lost experiences Joven as a
- 4:24Speaker 9: kid and it is wonderful. Just like you wouldn't leave

- 4:28Speaker 6: Absolutely not.
- 4:29Speaker 4: It's the same thing as well, says as loyalty. So yes,
- 4:33Speaker 4: I had to change teams a lot, especially with the
- 4:36Speaker 4: rugby because my family is big on rugby. I had
- 4:38Speaker 4: to change teams every time, and a different family member
- 4:43Speaker 4: because they were big on rugby.

- 7:15Speaker 10: world championship.
- 7:16Speaker 3: Okay, so you're gonna give them three years to get
- 7:18Speaker 3: their story together, and then now I'll still know.
- 7:20Speaker 10: I'll still stick with him if something happens that, for instance,
- 7:23Speaker 10: you know, if you haven't, let's take Machiev, he's coming
- 7:26Speaker 10: total Wolf. I don't actually love Total Wolf. To me,
- 7:29Speaker 10: it's arrogant. So why amos I support him?
- 7:33Speaker 1: So you hang on, I just want to confirm.
- 7:34Speaker 5: So you're saying, Nikol Holkenberg two years from now in
- 7:38Speaker 5: that Audi gonna take I think.
- 7:41Speaker 10: It's a little it's a little bit.
- 7:45Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, okay, but.

- 7:49Speaker 10: when they were in the GT Class series Injurior racing
- 7:53Speaker 10: one of the month thirteen times.
- 7:55Speaker 3: So when you were in am City supporter, who was
- 7:58Speaker 3: your driver? There was Russell, Kimmi Antonellio when Lewis was
- 8:01Speaker 3: still there or brought us who was your guy?
- 8:04Speaker 10: I think currently was Kim. I think he's he's a
- 8:08Speaker 10: youngster and he's like the rock attitude. He doesn't get
- 8:10Speaker 10: bullied by the bigger boys.
- 8:12Speaker 3: And can I tell you you are you are a
- 8:14Speaker 3: bigger man than most to leave a winning team, you yeah,
- 8:18Speaker 3: you go the opposite from everyone, a winning team because
- 8:21Speaker 3: of their race principal Toto who's arrogant, and the fact
- 8:25Speaker 3: that you are a four sprung man to go and
- 8:27Speaker 3: land on Audi.
- 8:29Speaker 1: That's like, that's like saying they're leaving Arsenal now after
- 8:33Speaker 1: they've won.
- 8:34Speaker 3: After they've won, You're like, you know what, Totenham, it's.
- 8:38Speaker 10: Really your heart, it's really your hard lives.
- 8:41Speaker 3: And this is why I say you are a wonderful man.
- 8:44Speaker 3: And you know, if anyone needs a favor in this city.

- 8:54Speaker 5: a tough time man, tough time nest, tough people.

- 9:04Speaker 1: which can never change football team.
- 9:06Speaker 9: That's wow, that's such a nice topic because it's easy
- 9:09Speaker 9: for me to swoop and change teams because I support
- 9:13Speaker 9: in anatomisy.
- 9:14Speaker 7: So where he goes, this way I go.
- 9:16Speaker 3: Once you got a team, you stick to it till
- 9:19Speaker 3: this do us part.
- 9:20Speaker 6: I have a cousin who went from Chiefs to sundowns.

- 9:51Speaker 8: My dad was a Liverpool fan and so eighty five
- 9:55Speaker 8: percent of.
- 9:55Speaker 7: My reason is for him. So in his honor, I'm
- 9:58Speaker 7: now a Liverpool fan.

- 10:18Speaker 8: dad played for about five years.

- 10:22Speaker 1: you support?
- 10:23Speaker 8: Manchester United?
- 10:25Speaker 3: Manchester United?
- 10:26Speaker 10: No, this is all.
- 10:28Speaker 3: This is all very convenient because Manchester United we've suck
- 10:31Speaker 3: for thirteen years and around five years ago that was
- 10:34Speaker 3: the beginning of the most Salah Liverpool Hey days, So
- 10:38Speaker 3: I know.
- 10:38Speaker 8: I mean, that's what I'm saying. The other fifteen percent
- 10:41Speaker 8: was Mossalem Sandak. I saw a video on TikTok. They
- 10:43Speaker 8: went and picked up a little boy, they took him
- 10:46Speaker 8: to the club, they made him a mask.
- 10:48Speaker 1: Oh my god, how was that video?
- 10:50Speaker 3: And then when the little boy was greeting them like
- 10:52Speaker 3: he saw them yesterday, He's like, oh.
- 10:53Speaker 8: Hi, Salah exactly.
- 10:55Speaker 6: No.
- 10:55Speaker 8: I mean, all the guys in my family are Manchester
- 10:58Speaker 8: United fans, and they say, well, Manchester United also does
- 11:01Speaker 8: it And I said, I didn't see it.
- 11:03Speaker 1: You're weak.
- 11:04Speaker 8: It didn't happen.
- 11:05Speaker 5: But now you've doubled down on things we can't hate
- 11:07Speaker 5: because it's someone passing away and a little.
- 11:11Speaker 3: No, you're weak.
- 11:12Speaker 1: You're weak.
- 11:13Speaker 3: You are like there's molk and then there's skim milk.
- 11:15Speaker 3: You are skim milk. That's how weak you are.
- 11:20Speaker 7: Than have a good.
- 11:24Speaker 1: Lasi.
- 11:24Speaker 3: Are you allowed to change the team that you support?
- 11:28Speaker 11: Hi, I am yeah, I think changed from the Chiefs
- 11:34Speaker 11: to Pirate.
- 11:35Speaker 1: That's this is treason as a country. As a country,
- 11:40Speaker 1: we can't accept this. That's that's the ultimate treat.
- 11:44Speaker 11: My husband is also not happy, but it's done. So
- 11:48Speaker 11: I was born in a family by by being born,
- 11:53Speaker 11: and then I got married to a fame, so by
- 11:56Speaker 11: video of association. But do you think obviously I'm very
- 12:01Speaker 11: interested in soccer in the World Cup. So I decided
- 12:05Speaker 11: that I wanted chose something for myself and or Pirates. Yeah,
- 12:10Speaker 11: so I said to my husband, I think two days
- 12:12Speaker 11: ago that's I want to be a SoC person. And
- 12:17Speaker 11: I don't think I can continue with you guys on this.
- 12:21Speaker 3: Okay, The Chiefs and the fact that Orlando Pirates won
- 12:24Speaker 3: the league has got nothing to do with this.
- 12:26Speaker 4: I know.
- 12:27Speaker 5: Well, look to be McCarthy, to be fair, it is
- 12:31Speaker 5: tough to because if you're a chief supporter, right, obviously
- 12:33Speaker 5: you love the players because that a lot of people
- 12:35Speaker 5: get fall in love with the kind of players, but
- 12:37Speaker 5: it's tough to follow them into the fun and the.
- 12:38Speaker 7: Fun well yeah, because there's there's
- 12:48Speaker 3: Bad to making your morning and the club nine four
- 12:54Speaker 3: seven
