Scottish World Cup Special w/ Colonel Mustard, Hugh Reed & Jim Monaghan · You Call That Radio?

• 0:00
  Speaker A: I want to talk about the World cup for a minute. We'll get into the shambles that is the USA in a wee minute. But first I'd just like to address some of the backlash. Backlash from a recent live stream and some Facebook posts regarding the World cup that I made. Not a big backlash. Not a big backlash, but just a small. There's been a few comments or slagging the shape World cup songs that Scotland is producing at the minute. But yeah, most of them are shy. So I stand by that. I stand by the formulaic nature of mentioning Glenn's and locks and McTominay and overhead kicks and all that stuff. I find that a bit green. I find that a little bit green. But I have taken a little bit of a step back and the reason that they're annoying me is because there's an endless procession of them. But that's my fault. It's my fault for being on Instagram too much. So if I. If it's annoying me, I should just stay away from Instagram. And I shouldn't have probably did a show about World cup songs because everybody keeps messaging me new ones. And there's loads of them, but a lot of them are the same song. The people, the same people just doing new videos every day, just try to get the hype going for the song just so that they can be the unofficial song of the World Cup. And I get it, I get it, I get it. They're not doing any harm. A lot of them are young and they're just having a bit of fun. You know, what's wrong with having a bit of fun? I think we're getting too old that we forget that it's okay to have a bit of fun. Some of these, some of these artists are very young and if they want to do somersaults and a cult and celebrate the first World cup of their lifetime, then they should be allowed to do that without c try to rip the piss. And I don't think our live stream did that. I think our live stream was. Was very. It was in good fun.

  Speaker B: The.
• 2:32
  Speaker A: I think that John was very supportive. I think that Hugh was supportive. Jim slagged everything. But that's what Jim does. He's not called judgmental for no reason. And that's why we brought him on for a bit of a laugh. I said nothing. I said very little. So I don't know why people are coming at me and having a go at me. There's a Scott pop genre that seems to have popped up. It's the first time I've ever heard the phrase Scott pop. And it's kind of like a bastardization of the bagpipes, where they get a famous old folk song and just change a couple of words here and there. Colonel must have made a video basically slagging the people that are slagging the songs. I don't know if he was having a go at me personally. I think he might have been, but he says, you know, you, you were creative. Well done. Everybody who's made a song has been creative. And I would argue that not everybody has been creative because they're just taking the old songs and changing a couple of words. I don't know if that's creative, but for the young people, good on you. Why not? But they're not all young. There's a lot of older legends or at least veterans in the music industry that I'm not making good music. They're not making good music. They are feeding into the stereotype of haggis and iron brew and buck fast and Bonnie Glenns and locks and overhead kicks and all that stuff. They should know better. They should know better, and it's not their best work. But the music industry's tough just now, so maybe if it's getting the streams up, getting their followers up, maybe it's okay. It seems a bit cynical. Some of them seem a bit cynical, some of them seem fun, some of them seem like it's just a cynical market employee. And they're the ones that kind of annoy me the most. The ones that I. I know these are intelligent people, so they are deliberately making a shite song just so that they can get more followers. I don't like that and I can't pretend to like that. And you know what? But the whole. But you just switch off. So I'm just going to stay away from Instagram for a few weeks, I think, because that's my fault for being online. So I'm going to go. I'm offline. I've got about. I've got. I've got a family bereavement going on just now and I'm going away for a week. So I'm just going to ignore then on that. I'm gonna try to ignore that on there for a week so it doesn't annoy me. And I don't even. I don't even know for sure. Are the stereotypes bad? It just feels like this. The Scottish music industry isn't taken seriously and we don't make it easy for ourselves. And I'm also Being accused of jumping on the bandwagon because I released a song called Donald where's your Morphe? Which is clearly satire. If I have to tell you it's satire, then it's missed the whole point. But it says in brackets parody. I'm aware that by getting. Doing a. A Jimmy Shan Donwizard trousers parody, it's a. It's a parody. Satire. It's supposed to be like that, but Conscious has made a banging beat. I stand by that beat. But when I talk about Bonnie Glenns and dramatic locks, I've got my tongue firmly in my cheek when I do that. And the whole song turns into a diss about Donald Trump and maga. I don't think the USA should have been allowed to host at all. I don't even think they should be allowed to play. Russia get banned for attacking Iran. America. Sorry, Russia get banned for attacking Ukraine. USA is attacking Iran right now. And these are Iranian players have got to come to the USA to play a game of football. They must have balls of steel. And at 500 to 1, it may be worth a fiverr. Yeah. So just to clarify that point there, I think FIFA should have banned USA from hosting it. And then I think also all the countries should have boycotted USA in full street for his hand. But that's not happened. So I hope there's some sort of demonstration or protest, whether that is football fans singing about the Epstein fails. I suggest please release the Epstein files. I suggest that. Or maybe a gold celebration. What? That sends a message. That would be good. If there was some sort of bam. I would. I'd like to see Trump get bummed up, especially if he's going to turn up to the games. He'll probably be sleeping anyway. But it'd be good to see him getting bummed up again. That'd be good. Some sort of protest. Demonstration of some sort. But also understand that you could get shot in the face. So it's quite a good idea to think about what that might entail, the consequences of that as well. So it'd be nice to see. But I'm not. I'm definitely would not encourage any protest because as a fascist regime that's in charge. And also if we're talking about boycott in America, then why are we not. We've got to think about boycotting the UK as well, because UK has been complicit in the genocide in Palestine as well.
• 8:28
  Speaker C: So.
• 8:29
  Speaker B: So.
• 8:29
  Speaker A: And we've got our own sort of. Sort of Englishy MAGA movement building steam here with the rise of reform. So you know, we, we going to end up, we're going to end up having to boycott our own countries that we live in. So I'm aware it's complicated. It's complicated and I want the fans and the players to enjoy themselves and be safe and do well. Why? No, so the whole thing symbolic. I mean, that's another thing. You're just jealous you're not going to the World cup that I've not got a ticket. No, I, I can't really think of many places worse than the USA that I wouldn't want to visit the, that you've got, you've got a far right regime, you've got a Gestapo on the streets, killing their own civilians, kidnapping people with different skin color and the, the ticket, the cost, 10 times more than a normal World cup would be and they're doing my things like banning people from walking to the stadium, just banning people for walking and then charging 100 quid for a train ride that would normally be 10 pound. I don't, I don't want to go to the USA. I'm not jealous. If it had been in Mexico, I love Mexico, I mean I probably couldn't afford to go to the World cup anyway, but I would have tried to move heaven and earth, I would have maybe even got any debt to go to see Scotland play a World cup in Mexico. So, but the usa, I'm not interested. I've been too critical of the regime. I would probably not get the tourist visa like many of my friends have just been rejected today after being told in January they were allowed. They've been told today that they, they can go hours before their flight and then I'm sure there'll be other people that will get on the other side of the Europe, the other side or go on a long haul flight. And I think if I was to go there, I'd get taken into a room and interrogated and probably deported if I was lucky or I'd end up in a, I don't know, like a detention camp in the deepest, darkest South America somewhere. So I'm not, I'm not, I'm not jealous. And also I want the Scotland fans to enjoy themselves. It's not the, the fans or the players fault that the USA is a shambles. People that follow Scotland home and away every game, I hope they go and I hope they're fun, I hope they're safe, I hope that the players enjoy it. They're fulfilling the lifelong dream. So I want it to go well. It just doesn't look like it will
• 11:17
  Speaker D: go well would be funny as 500 to 1 Iran left the World Cup Scotland brings the party Scotland brings a volume channel Epstein fails outside the ballroom Donald, where's your great Wall? Donald, where's your ballroom? I saw you Andrew Logan where's your Epstein files? Donald, where's your tariffs? Donald, where's you know well? Donald, where's your Trump phone? Some folks say you're Noel Donald, where's your bunker? What happened to your crypto? Where's your university? Where is the casino? Bankrupt like the amendments from Constitution Nobody knows more in the world than the prostitution. Good luck to the Scottish national team
• 12:09
  Speaker A: maybe everything's going to be okay where's your Epstein files? Please release the files. Welcome to Songs of the World cup, where we will be reviewing some of the songs that have been released across the country. There's a kind of a pandemic of music, I suppose you could call it music. So let's start the show. What was that? What was that? What was that? This is a democracy.
• 13:04
  Speaker D: When you call that radio, all systems go.
• 13:08
  Speaker A: Oh, Donna, while I'm there, welcome, welcome. All day I've been listening to some of Scotland's most talented musicians demean themselves and play into stereotypes. Some predictable. Yeah. Somehow jarring as well at the same time. But it's all a bit cheeky. It's all a bit fun. For reasons of copyright and reasons of sanity, we will just be playing some short clips. I have not been able to include everyone. I am sorry. There is a lot going on. We hope to be able to play an exclusive from Colonel Mustard, an exclusive for Huid, and an exclusive from Jackal Trades as well. I'm joined with hu. First of all, hu.
• 14:07
  Speaker E: Hi. Hi.
• 14:08
  Speaker A: With a cracking new single, Football's coming Him.
• 14:13
  Speaker E: Well, I don't know that it's cracking. It's a bit of fun. Bit of fun, you know, and that's.
• 14:18
  Speaker A: That's what it's all about. It's about having fun.
• 14:21
  Speaker E: Yeah.
• 14:22
  Speaker A: And a man who likes his fun, Jim Monaghan.
• 14:25
  Speaker B: Yeah. I can't see any fun ahead tonight, to be honest. There's nothing funny about it.
• 14:32
  Speaker A: Is it. Is it upsetting you? The amount of. You called it a barrage. A barrage of songs.
• 14:39
  Speaker B: Yeah, it's a barrage. It's like. It's like a pummeling. A pummeling of football songs.
• 14:46
  Speaker E: I've actually. I've actually been surprised. I mean, I knew I was jumping on a bandwagon, you know? You know, but I didn't realize the bandwagon Was going to be so full, you know, I've been falling off the back of it, you know, a big
• 14:57
  Speaker B: wagon man this time around.
• 14:59
  Speaker E: I know, I know there's usually a
• 15:01
  Speaker B: few, but this is like. This is exceptional this year.
• 15:04
  Speaker A: But it's the first time Scotland's got to the World cup in 28 years. It's the first time that there's been a World cup and social media at the same time. I suppose.
• 15:14
  Speaker B: So 98 was the last time. So we did have social media to
• 15:17
  Speaker A: an extent, but I don't think we did, Jim. I don't think we did. I don't think so.
• 15:24
  Speaker B: I mean, I think 98. Am I right in saying 98. The song, the official song was de don't come home Too soon.
• 15:32
  Speaker E: Yes. Yeah. I remember being thought that that was very sort of kind of depressing. It was like.
• 15:37
  Speaker B: It was very Scottish, wasn't it? It was very like, at least it's no raining.
• 15:42
  Speaker E: I know that was it.
• 15:45
  Speaker A: Well, I think actually seen the guy for Dilometry at a DOS gig the other week. I didn't know it was a metre, but. Yeah. And so, God, they pointed them and they went. That's Justin from Delametriska, I think. Spotted in the wild. We have. When are you doing the World cup songs? Says Lisa. Yes, we're gonna. We're gonna get. We're gonna get right into it. We'll just sort of saying hello first. Yeah. Social media didn't exist in 98. I think that was. I don't think PlayStations exist. I think we're maybe still in the mega drives. Maybe. Maybe we just moved to PlayStations. But yeah, there's been a lot going on. And we will be join. Joined by John McMustard from Colonel Mustard, who's just released a song as well. And we're going to be playing. I know. Thanks to Lisa, who's joined as a YouTube member. Thanks to all our YouTube members, all our Patreons as well, for making the show possible. Yeah. So we're going to just. We'll just start. We'll just start. Let's just start. And hopefully the Internet plays ballways here.
• 16:49
  Speaker B: Let's get it over with.
• 16:51
  Speaker A: Yeah. Okay, so we're. We'll start with this guy. Hold on. I forgot to tell you the rules of the game. Sorry? There's rules to this game. To make it fun, Jim. I know you love fun. We're going to be having a drinking game today. The World cup song. Drinking game. You've got to take one sip of something. That you dislike every time you hear the following words. Hamden, Mount Florida, McTominay, Tartan Army, Saltire, Iron, brew, Whiskey, Glenlock Mountains. I kind of stuck them together. I think we can throw in hills there as well. You can't hear me. Oh, no. Did you not hear me there?
• 17:46
  Speaker B: I heard you.
• 17:48
  Speaker E: I can hear you. I can hear you.
• 17:50
  Speaker A: All right.
• 17:52
  Speaker E: You know how often he's gonna have to drink iron brew?
• 17:58
  Speaker B: That clip, that one second clip had all of those words in it.
• 18:03
  Speaker E: My song is a checklist of these words as well, actually.
• 18:07
  Speaker B: Okay, so I'm gonna have to drink this.
• 18:12
  Speaker A: Okay, so we've picked this up. So you don't. So let's start with you. You don't like Lucas aid.
• 18:18
  Speaker E: I associate it with being ill as a child. I remember being in hospital, getting my appendix out.
• 18:26
  Speaker A: I visited you in hospital recently and gave you. And you didn't even.
• 18:31
  Speaker E: You didn't bring Lucas aids. I remember as a child. And then people would bring grapes and Lucas aid and so whenever. That's why I don't think I've drunk Lucas aid since. Because I, I almost think of it as a medicine, you know, being honest.
• 18:46
  Speaker A: So I did bring you. Lucas maybe never gave you maybe. You said you didn't want Lucas, but I, I'd rather.
• 18:52
  Speaker E: I probably said to you for a joke. That's probably what happened. I'm sure that's what happened.
• 18:57
  Speaker A: So you don't like Lucas said Jim. You don't. You. You telling me on a. On the month of world cup, as Scottish fever, Scotland team fever comes on, you're about to tell me that you don't like iron brew.
• 19:08
  Speaker B: I, I despise this stuff. It's made in Scotland from sugar. It's just actually sugar. It's liquid sugar and it's disgusting. And I, I. About the lucazade I associate with being ill as a kid as well, too. Also, my granny had buck fast in the house. That was. You got a wee thimble full of buck fast when you had the flu.
• 19:30
  Speaker E: All right.
• 19:32
  Speaker A: A thimble of Bucky. I wonder. That's a good name. That's a good name for a world cup song.
• 19:38
  Speaker B: A thimble of Bucky helps the medicine go down.
• 19:42
  Speaker A: So I've decided to go for lager beer. I don't really like lager or beer. I just never liked lager or beer. So every time they say any of the words, I'll take a wee sip of lager grudgingly.
• 19:56
  Speaker E: I've been out with you, Mark, and you look to Me. As if you like beer.
• 20:03
  Speaker A: I don't know. Maybe it was someone else. Maybe get me confused with somebody else. Okay, we're ready. It's fine. Sure. Says hello. David Haraw waiting with bated breath. So, yeah, like I said, I don't know. I can't remember everybody that's. That's on this. But I've, I've managed to sort of piece together. We announced this show two days ago and I've just been getting dms for everybody sending me songs and it's been a lot. It's been a lot. I'll say that. So let's start. Let's start again. Let's take two. Let's go for this. So this is a. Yeah, I think it's a kind of 4K. So that was, that was PG. PG Kieretta. Okay, so PG. Sorry if I'm saying that name wrong. This is. Sorry. Kira Letter. Okay. Yeah, great name. What, what do you make of the song, Jim?
• 21:07
  Speaker B: I don't want to be too cool here, but it was mints, really.
• 21:12
  Speaker A: Okay.
• 21:14
  Speaker B: I kind of think that guys, Scottish guys strumming on a guitar the words that Raymond McTominay is like. I mean, I'm already in a stomach fully and, and I'm no looking forward to the next hour.
• 21:29
  Speaker D: Yeah.
• 21:30
  Speaker E: Because. What, you know, I think it's kind of sort of all right. You know, it's not. I wouldn't be playing it again myself, but I mean, you know, I suppose we all speaking as one who's done this. It's as if you just adopt the cliche, you know, because. Embrace the cliche, you know, Got to go for it.
• 21:48
  Speaker B: You know, Cliche kills.
• 21:50
  Speaker E: Yeah.
• 21:51
  Speaker A: Okay, let's, let's, let's continue then. Who's next? Okay, so, so that was drinking whiskey. So that was the scratch card weddings. Who are Scrat. Scratch card weddings. Who Actually a talented bunch of guys. I, I, I suppose they've really went into this. It seems like we're in an era of Scott pop. I'm hearing. Oh, there's John McMustard. Hello, John.
• 22:18
  Speaker C: All right, guys. Standing outside, standing outside. Driftwoods.
• 22:25
  Speaker B: All right.
• 22:28
  Speaker C: Over the day. So Donna's coming to pick me up, but just keep me on mute and I'll try and give the odd opinion.
• 22:36
  Speaker A: Okay, well, you're rid of the rules here. We've got a World cup drinking song, drinking game. If the words Hamden, mctominay Tat and Army, Saltire and Brew whiskey or Glen Lock and Mountains comes up, you've got to drink Something you don't like. Do you have anything with you? Do you have any liquids?
• 22:54
  Speaker C: Only my saliva mark so far. But I will get some liquids when I'm. I'm back in the house.
• 23:00
  Speaker A: Okay. Well, that was Scratch Card Wednesdays. Jim, what did you make of that? Drinking whiskey for the pain. Right.
• 23:06
  Speaker B: Is that those people that were seen right now on the steps, were they part of it?
• 23:09
  Speaker A: No, no, this was them. This was him. This is Scratch Card Wednesday.
• 23:15
  Speaker B: What the are they doing? Punching and jumping up and doing another like. Like as if they're fighting and there's a guy with blood all over his shirt and it looks like blood all over his shirt. I. I don't know. I don't know what you make it out 1. I don't understand it, but I really don't know what it is. Did you say it's Scott Poppy?
• 23:34
  Speaker A: I don't know. I've been hearing the phrase Scott Pop being. Being mentioned.
• 23:39
  Speaker E: I'm glad, I'm glad that this has kind of become a new genre. You know, all this.
• 23:45
  Speaker A: I don't know if I'm glad about it, but I've. I don't think I've heard the free Scott Pop before, but it seems to have. It seems to exist now here and now. There is a lot of Scott Pop a bit.
• 23:57
  Speaker B: And is it. Is it like that we've just seen? Is that what it is, guys and kilts jumping up and doing it on it?
• 24:02
  Speaker A: Well, I think so. It's got the.
• 24:05
  Speaker B: It's not quite as good as K Pop then.
• 24:09
  Speaker A: That's maybe what. It's something to do with K Pop. Well, that was Scratch Card Wednesdays, John, you want to. You want to. You've got an opinion.
• 24:19
  Speaker C: I didn't actually see that song, but I like the scratch what card Wednesday guys. They've got a lot of energy and they're obviously new in the game in terms of what they're doing. But I, I kind of give a score on. On the song cuz I've not heard that.
• 24:39
  Speaker A: But here it is.
• 24:41
  Speaker C: Here's the song.
• 24:41
  Speaker A: It's the 10 second clip.
• 24:45
  Speaker C: The guys are good at what they do. It seems to be like the majority of songs mention the word whiskey these days, which I'm not. And true,
• 25:01
  Speaker A: You're breaking up a little bit there, John, but you just. John's not. John's off. John isn't drinking these days, so he's not into the whiskey thing. Well, you're. You've tuned into the wrong show if you don't like whiskey things Because I reckon we've not heard the last from of Whiskey or, or Buckfast for that matter.
• 25:18
  Speaker C: I'm sure.
• 25:18
  Speaker A: Okay, let's, let's, let's get back to the next song, which I believe is a charity song. So Jim, go easy for song.
• 25:30
  Speaker B: No, take a drink.
• 25:33
  Speaker A: And that was the Tartan Army. Hold on. The Tartan Army Children's charity. So Jim, tell me, tell me you don't like that.
• 25:45
  Speaker B: The carries build children's. I mean it says child resin or something.
• 25:50
  Speaker A: Well, that was, that was me. That was me.
• 25:55
  Speaker B: I, I, I would love to see that. We're all delighted and online with the children. So I'm quite, I'm quite glad that they're giving the money to children's charity because at least then something comes out of that hellish version of Tom Hack by who was it who did Tom Hack who did the original?
• 26:17
  Speaker A: Obviously I know I know the melody, but I can't. Thanks.
• 26:22
  Speaker B: Daft. I don't know why you have to laugh or you know that one Tom Hark by does anyone do to World War III anyway? Doesn't matter. It's not very good. At least there's charity getting something out of it, man. So they are the best so far because at least they are doing it for. They've got a reason for Dana.
• 26:43
  Speaker A: Right.
• 26:44
  Speaker D: Okay.
• 26:45
  Speaker A: And we'll continue on. Oh, it's Bill and Sebastian. Okay, hold on. Take a drink. This went Florida. Mount Florida was mentioned. So Bell and Sebastian. First of all, I want to say that Bell and Sebastian, the boy with Adam Straps, one of my favorite albums of all time. Also enjoyed some of the earlier eps and I also enjoyed fold your arms child, you walk like a peasant. There's some great songs in that as well. I would say that respectfully. Not their greatest work. Jim,
• 27:23
  Speaker B: you know, and I, I've known Stuart since he was very young. He's from here. Shire from here. And I am highly disappointed. And I'll be telling him so when I see him. I think he's a fantastic lyricist. He's great at telling stories through songs and creating images and his songs that are relatable. But can I say the guy's about a poet and they should try some poetry in it. Try a metaphor or something instead of just telling you that. T and Kiwi no tier and he scored. Then it was Kenny McLean and the Army. Scotland being the army for peace. I'm quite sure there's a hell of a lot of people in India and other places who disagree with that one.
• 28:06
  Speaker A: B says put a donk on it.
• 28:10
  Speaker B: Whatever. A donkey's put something on it, man.
• 28:13
  Speaker A: Sunflower Leaf says, surely a death metal track would be good. So you can't hear the lyrics. Do you know, there is. Somebody did send me. Well, I don't know if it's death metal. It's. It was very metal. I don't know.
• 28:25
  Speaker E: There's the. I hope. Oh, I don't know if you've seen their one. Their one's very punky.
• 28:29
  Speaker A: What did you make of Bill and Sebastian?
• 28:30
  Speaker E: Before we get distracted, I quite enjoyed it. You know, obviously it's not up there with their best work. Of course. Course not. But within the football. Within this new Scott Pot pantheon, it's quite high.
• 28:43
  Speaker B: You know the spot Pot Pantheon. That's my new podcast.
• 28:48
  Speaker E: Actually. I enjoyed the video because strangely enough, just last week I went to the Hampden Football Museum for the first time ever and I was well impressed. Yeah, I would advise people to go there. It was only a tenor and it was. It's just. It's kind of in Hampden and you can wander out to the Hampden pitch and I kind of. It's because I'm doing my we football tour again in the summer, so I've always wanted to go to the football museum.
• 29:13
  Speaker A: Do you want to give that a plug while we're here?
• 29:16
  Speaker E: Right, well, I've written that down, but that's Thursday, August 6, 2:00pm, starting in Copelaw Street. You know, outside it's a private set of flats, but it's where third Lanark were actually based. That the team. Well, first of all, the army squad and the team, and then we'll take a wander, you know, along Victoria Road.
• 29:45
  Speaker A: How do people get. How can people find out more information about this year?
• 29:48
  Speaker E: Well, it's part of the Govern Hell Festival. Jim's involved in the Govern Hell Festival. So just go on to the Govern Hell Festival website. I don't know if it's up there yet because it's just been arranged, but. But it'll be on the Govern Hill Festival website and they'll get the details. I think it'll be free. It'll be free. I'm certain it's free.
• 30:06
  Speaker B: Yeah. Most of the things that Govern Hill Festival are free. I think you can pay a donation if you want. It's a brilliant. I mean, I did. I mean, I'm sure it'll have changed a bit, but I. I did huge tour about three years ago, I think, and it was fantastic. Really informative and a nice easy walk, you know, it's not too far.
• 30:23
  Speaker E: And it makes you realize that in the south side of Glasgow here, you know, the football history. I'm. I'm glad that the. The Hampton Bowling Club has been. It seems to have been saved. It was really under threat there.
• 30:35
  Speaker B: Absolutely. It could have been housing. There's also a new plaque at the. The door where you took us to here. That is where they had the meeting to form or something. There's a wee plaque next to that door now that somebody's put up.
• 30:49
  Speaker E: Yeah, just at the Victoria Bar.
• 30:51
  Speaker B: Just.
• 30:52
  Speaker E: Just beside the Victoria Bar. Yeah. So, yeah, I was pleased to see that plaque myself. I'm actually living in a flat during the. During the week. And it's more or less above that. You know.
• 31:04
  Speaker A: Is that Queen. Is that Mary Queen of Scots behind you?
• 31:07
  Speaker E: Well, that's an AI Mary Queen of Scots. Because I was doing a video that required a Mary Queen of Scots, and I needed it to be kind of a certain quality, so I shouldn't really be AI ing things. But that's an AI Mary Queen of Scots.
• 31:23
  Speaker A: You can. Everything's. It's all. It's all computers these days
• 31:28
  Speaker B: in Scotland. It's called an. Okay, Mary Queen of Scots.
• 31:31
  Speaker E: Yeah, yeah.
• 31:34
  Speaker A: Gun Gale.
• 31:36
  Speaker B: Newcastle.
• 31:37
  Speaker A: Can you help me with the pronunciation here? Is it Gun Gale? The. That's the. That's the one. I heard the Gallic metal song Gun. Gail.
• 31:44
  Speaker B: No, that's. I don't know what that is. It's not Gail.
• 31:49
  Speaker A: Well, that is. We'll probably try and play that. I've heard that. We'll maybe try and play for good time. Lisa wants Return of the Hampden Road on as. Return of the Hampton Road as on our list. It's not far away. Let's get back to the music. We're basically getting told to hurry up. Okay, this one is. Okay, so that's boy band. A new. A boy band called Just the Brave Jim.
• 32:21
  Speaker B: Just. No, no. Just. No. That. Is anyone play anything? Are they actually just like a boy band?
• 32:28
  Speaker A: It's a boy band. You know, you're familiar with the.
• 32:30
  Speaker B: You're familiar with it by dancers. By dancers.
• 32:34
  Speaker A: Hey, they're dancing. The dancing. They're singing.
• 32:37
  Speaker B: I'm not having that at all, man. No, no, no.
• 32:42
  Speaker E: Well, I just think. I mean, I'm proud of being Scottish. And the good thing, I think about Scottish patriotism as it's not exclusive. You know, English patriotism tends to suggest being anti. Something else. But in Scotland, despite lunatics, you know, putting up Scotland flags. An imitation of the. What was happening down South. I Still feel that we think of Scotland as an inclusive country and I think we should. I'm proud of being Scottish and I'm proud of the inclusive inclusivity and the fact that young people are kind of getting into that as well. In a positive way. In a positive way. I think it's a good thing, you know. So in that sense, I would like it, but I wouldn't be playing it or anything, you know,
• 33:27
  Speaker D: before.
• 33:28
  Speaker B: Before this week and you started saying these clips. Mark, I really did think the worst thing about the World cup, this World cup was Donald Trump. I know. I've changed my mind.
• 33:40
  Speaker A: We'll go. Let's go for another one. John is back. Who's that? Who. Who's. Who's this? Who have you got with you, John? Well, he's on mute. It doesn't matter.
• 33:52
  Speaker C: Came in shape today and caught me. I'm me. Ollie.
• 33:56
  Speaker A: Hello, Ollie. Good to see you. Did you enjoy. Is all you enjoying the. The Scott. The rise of Scott Pop?
• 34:05
  Speaker B: Yep.
• 34:05
  Speaker A: As silence says it all, it's obviously
• 34:09
  Speaker E: a signed up of Jerry Cinnamon, isn't it?
• 34:11
  Speaker A: Yes. And it's also. Also money is going to charity as well, I think. Mental health charity. What did you. Did you enjoy that? I quite like Donald. Where's your boozers?
• 34:21
  Speaker E: Yeah, sounds like a good concept. There's never any money anyway, do you know what I mean? I don't know how much money is going to go to charity because I know when we bring out songs, there's zero cash, you know, Spotify take all the cash, you know. So I suppose it's good. People are doing it for charity, but I don't know how much money they would really raise, you know.
• 34:44
  Speaker A: Jim, what did you make of the. Here's our gaffer.
• 34:47
  Speaker B: Many gaffer's pretty. It sounds pretty English. Can I call me gaffer? But if it's. If it's. If it's celebrating the manager again and it's your boy and you actually played football again, someone were about 14 or 15 or something. And so celebrating Steve Clark is fine. It's just that there was no. There's no really any melody in most of these things. They're just gonna chant alongside a riff and.
• 35:12
  Speaker A: And it's a Jerry Cinnamon riff. It's a Jerry Cinnamon song.
• 35:15
  Speaker B: They've just.
• 35:18
  Speaker A: They've just changed belter to gaffer.
• 35:20
  Speaker B: So here is here a Jerry Silliman like tribute act, like very Cinnamon or something. Terry Cinnamon. Is that Terry Cinnamon there?
• 35:30
  Speaker A: A Gary Cinnamon? We, we, we, we, we. We were on it. Linda's Farm. It was quite humbling. We were on at 9 o' clock at night and Linda's fun on the second stage and I was like, that's a good slot. You know, nine o' clock Friday night. And then Gary Cinnamon came on after his attribute act, after us. We just humbled us.
• 35:47
  Speaker E: Is that's the guy that puts the sun in Cinnamon. I.
• 35:52
  Speaker A: And I mean.
• 35:54
  Speaker B: I mean, it's. It was near offensive, but it was just like I thought. Isn't gaffer a bit, you know, London about. No.
• 36:02
  Speaker A: I don't know. I think. I think it maybe came from.
• 36:05
  Speaker B: I think.
• 36:06
  Speaker A: I think gaffer's just a word that everyone uses now. Jim knows everybody. Just going back to the fact that he played football.
• 36:14
  Speaker B: Ewan's in here as well, isn't he?
• 36:17
  Speaker A: You've just said that. Michael's. It helps me a lot with the mixing and Masterman when. When the audio podcasts go wrong. Shouts to Michael the you play against Steve Clark. Does it unfairly get criticized for being. He gets. He gets called dear.
• 36:35
  Speaker B: I mean, I don't know him personally. I know his cousin Eddie. I know people who know him. I played against him over 14 or 15. He played for sale, coach, star. But it was. It was the outstanding player then. It was obvious he was going to be like a top footballer. Maybe could get the ball off him and all that. I don't know if it's fair because I think what he does is he works with what he's got. When he was at Komana, his record was incredible. He had commander on the second half of one season, the first half of the next season. I think they were like the best team over a year and. But yeah, I don't know because I don't remember what his team's like when he managed West Brom or anything like that. Whether.
• 37:18
  Speaker A: No, I mean, just like his personality. He gets slagged a lot for just being a bit.
• 37:22
  Speaker B: It's just Scottish and he's fiercer. No bad. No bad, son. At least it's still raining. It's like, you know, I mean, it could be worse. I could have knee legs, that type of thing, you know. I mean.
• 37:33
  Speaker A: Yeah. I've had to explain that Ayrshire audiences can sometimes be a bit tricky if they enjoy. If I went to a Stone Roses tribute show once at the Magnum and they showed that. The love for the band by throwing lighters at the drum kit.
• 37:45
  Speaker B: Absolutely. I mean, the Suite wrote a song about. About playing a gig and Komarmu the Ballroom Blitz.
• 37:53
  Speaker A: John, did you enjoy the Gaffer thought
• 37:57
  Speaker C: it was a solid Jerry Cinnamon kinda number. I. Jerry Cinnamon would obviously hate that, but I enjoyed that. The fact that it's going to charity as well is great. So. And it's good. It's like everybody's just excited and wants to be a part of this and wants to kind of celebrate, you know, Scotland getting to the World Cup. So go for it.
• 38:27
  Speaker A: We've got another one actually. We've got people actually requesting this one. I was sent this earlier on in the week and I actually quite enjoyed this one. This is John Korrain and it's a return of the Hamden Roar. Did you take a drink? I've realized that Scott McTominay said in the first line, take a drink of that iron brew you hate. Oh, look at that, Lucas, did you hit. Sorry to interrupt, John. Let's start again. That was us, that was John Korrain and I believe that I'm guessing that Lisa, who's just joined the YouTube members, is maybe has a safe surname. So bearing that in mind that there may be a family member of some sort watching Jim.
• 39:10
  Speaker B: Sorry, Lisa. No, actually I, I saw this one through the week when you sent me it and what I like about this is there's a sort of comedy element there. I like the trumpet at the start as well. But there's the, the guy in the back seat who, the English fan, I think he's meant to be, who hates it and gets trapped in there and the taxi driver is actually dancing outside the window and the guy's greeting and try to bank. You get it and all that. So I greet something with the guy in the back seat. Been forced to listen to Scotland, all cop songs. But I really, but I really enjoyed the video and I really enjoyed his. The, the. No, quite. We didn't quite see it there. The, the. The melody and the chorus as let's say is interesting.
• 39:53
  Speaker A: Sure reads. Would he make it okay?
• 39:56
  Speaker E: I enjoyed it as well because I felt it was a bit different and you can really argue with a singing taxi driver, can you? And after. I thought it was quite good. It's quite, I say, a bit different and obviously it was light hearted and all that as well, you know, so I thought it was, it was, it was pretty good. It's the sort of video you'd actually show, you know, because the other songs are kind of very samey but you go, oh, have you seen this one with a taxi driver, an England fan in the back. You, you might actually show it to. To one of your mates or something. You know what?
• 40:30
  Speaker A: Sk.
• 40:31
  Speaker B: It should have been me in the back of the taxi.
• 40:35
  Speaker A: Just Jim in the back. Raging John. Did you enjoy that one?
• 40:39
  Speaker C: Yeah, I really like this one. It's kind of har. Back to the sort of old school Scottish songs, like the Andy Cameron kind of Ali's top man vibes. But I cool. Cool trumpet at the start and just a bit of humor and almost like what some of the modern songs are lacking, like that old school Scottish humor. So I really like this one.
• 41:04
  Speaker A: Brilliant. Hold on, I've got a song playing in my ear just now. That's. That's you. I think we're. I've got a bit of a technical thing going on just now. Hold on, I'm going to play yours just now. A song from an exclusive. An exclusive. While I figure this out. There is. I've got Hurry playing in my ear. Can you see. I don't think you can hear Judy. Can you.
• 41:33
  Speaker B: No, no,
• 41:37
  Speaker A: it's coming on the other browser. Sorry. I've figured it out. I've got it. Sorry. Huey was playing and at the same time as me trying to talk. So I'm going to play. I'll be an exclusive from Jackal Trades. We've got more songs to play. I could I see. Hi, Hugh from I Hobos. You never know.
• 41:55
  Speaker E: I. I've already given it a mention. The I hope was. I think the I hope was one's good search out on YouTube.
• 42:02
  Speaker A: Well, that's what I'm doing. There is a network error on YouTube on this browser. But what I have done is found a way around it. So what I need to do is download it from elsewhere. But we'll try and play I Hope Os and David Ahara says I'm waiting for a review of Kick the Ball, the least enthusiastic World cup song ever. Well, it feels that there's been a lot of low energy. Low energy has went into a lot of these songs, I would say just from the fact that we need to take a drink every two seconds. And so I decided to people if I'm going to talk, people go, oh, you do better, you do better. So I put the same low energy into our World cup song that I'm playing for the first time. And this is Jackal Trades with Conscious on the beat.
• 42:50
  Speaker D: I can be tweet.
• 43:03
  Speaker A: That's the way we sing the song in Scotland. But of course the song might have more international appeal. Sounds something like this. One, two, three.
• 43:12
  Speaker D: Jackal Trades another World cup song. Conscious on the beat America, or at least Mount Florida. We should Be in Mexico not the corporate horror show should say McDormand they will get the ball off you he's got the bottle he brought it from the bossy the brawny glens in overhead kicks the dramatic locks in the schmeicheld gypsy Overpriced tickets in the airport risks we do ice meets the tartan army
• 43:47
  Speaker A: on the piss the FIFA prize winner
• 43:52
  Speaker D: only goal was brown envelopes Turned the news into the soaps now he's coming for a sport pressure President Var in the referee's ear Another penalty to USA oh dear I hope we win it I hope we beat them Knock the US out first then bring on the England and if it's not for us would be funny as 500 to 1 Iran left the World Cup Scotland brings the party Scotland brings a volume channel Epstein fails outside the bowling Donald Trump where's your great wall? Donald, where's your ballroom? I saw you Andrew Logan where's your Epstein files? Donald, where's your tariffs? Donald, where's your Noel Donald, where's your Trump phone? Some folks say you're Noel Donald where's your bunker? What happened to your crypto? Where's your university? Where is the casino? Bankrupt like the amendments from Constitution Nobody knows more in the world than the person fishing, fishing won the score. Good luck to the Scottish national team
• 45:06
  Speaker A: maybe everything's going to be okay where's your Epstein files? Please release the fails. Jim, what did you make of that?
• 45:28
  Speaker B: That was me like it, you know, bang on the subject matter that we should be talking about when we're going to America. But yeah, I really, really enjoyed that. He's another issue guy as well. I don't know much about him, but
• 45:41
  Speaker A: Trades the people's champion, they call him. Champion, I think they call him.
• 45:47
  Speaker B: I've heard people call them other things, but yeah, I quite enjoyed that. Yeah, sure it.
• 45:54
  Speaker E: I thought it was. It's the best lyrics so far. Definitely the best lyrics. But I don't know if people will be able to chant it in the terrace, you know, word for word.
• 46:04
  Speaker A: Well, that's why there's a bit at the end. But it went. Please release the Epstein files. It'd be quite good if, if. If there was some. Some sort of Epstein fail bomb up. Although I don't want to really encourage that because I don't see me have much a sense of humor. They can't still see me ever much a sense of humor. John, did you enjoy the new exclusive from Jackal Trades?
• 46:27
  Speaker C: Loved it, mate. Superb. Great lyrics. I think it's Safe to say it's the only World cup song that mentions the Epstein Files. A bit done. Done in such a nuanced and clever way.
• 46:45
  Speaker A: I've put a link in the comments. It's a free download because obviously that's a parody. So there's no commercial. It's not a commercial release. But there is a free download available if you go into the Patreon page and I've kept that open for everyone. You don't need to be on Patreon to get it, but if while you're out, while you're there, while you're on the Patreon page, feel free to sign up to the Patreon. That's how we can do this show and our events and our audio podcast and all the things of you call that radio. Thank you to everyone who already is supporting the Patreon. That's how we managed to get conscious on the beat for that song there. Now I think we have a.
• 47:22
  Speaker B: We.
• 47:22
  Speaker A: We might have go. Sorry. Hats off, mate. Thank you, Stuart. So sorry. If there was. Sorry. We should probably won. There was swearing at that. But I think I now have. We're going to do the Iron Bru advert and then we're going to have Hu Reed and then we're going to call them mustard. I think that's the order of it. And also kick the ball as well. I'm hopefully. And high hopes we'll try. We'll try and get in. Yeah, we should be able to fit things in. I've got to stop at 8 o' clock because I have got to go and do a thing. But let's go for this Iron Brew advert. Has anyone seen the Iron Brew advert yet?
• 47:58
  Speaker E: Yeah, I've seen it. Yeah, I've seen it.
• 48:01
  Speaker C: Yeah.
• 48:02
  Speaker E: Yeah.
• 48:04
  Speaker A: Well, we're not going to watch it all for copyright reasons and for sanity reasons. Is that Alex from Franz Ferdinand?
• 48:16
  Speaker B: Yes.
• 48:17
  Speaker E: Yeah, I say.
• 48:18
  Speaker A: Yeah, I say with CEO on the Queen's Ferry bridge. I believe what I'm more interested in is. John, can you confirm or deny that the Jackie Bird guys in this next bit or maybe missed it as the
• 48:33
  Speaker C: Jackie Bird guy, though he has Anna.
• 48:38
  Speaker B: What is the Jackie Bird guy?
• 48:42
  Speaker C: One year there was a guy who realized he was on camera next to Jackie Bots while she was introducing stuff and started doing this cheeky wee dance and smile almost his teeth.
• 48:59
  Speaker A: Frank McAvanian.
• 49:02
  Speaker E: You know what I thought was surprising that, you know Robert and me Miller, you know, because I thought. I reckon I watched it today and then I thought, I recognize that woman. And it's me, Miller. I mean, you'll know Jim, they've. They've been singing the bars in the south side for 40 years at least.
• 49:19
  Speaker B: I love me Miller. And As a brilliant YouTube, she became kind of viral. We are eating crisps off a dress.
• 49:25
  Speaker A: Yes.
• 49:26
  Speaker E: Yeah. It's good that they are getting that. That's a good aspect to it because they deserve a bit of publicity and so on.
• 49:33
  Speaker C: Absolutely.
• 49:34
  Speaker B: I think the thing with Iron Bruce I am Brew adverts are always quite good fun. Got to remember it's a corporate body who are trying to sell their products. Owners that. But they've always been quite good fun and quite take the piss a wee bit and all that stuff. And I think. Although, see, when it first came on, when I first looked at it, I didn't. It took me a wee while to remember that SUBO was Susan Bo. I kind of just thought subo. I was like, who the SUBO are. Some new. Some new young Scott Pop guy called, but it was Susan Bo. So that's. I've got a pow. I'm going to name him. Who once, before she was famous, was the judge in a talent contest. Logan Lee, Miners Welfare Club. And Susan Boyle came second and he got a big long complaint letter there about why he was second. And I still got it.
• 50:28
  Speaker C: Be worth money, probably. Funnily enough, see the. The Jackie Bond guy, he was working on Pawn Brokers when we were filming the Cross the Road video and I just noticed them while we were filming it and went, no way. And he came out and he got involved in the video. She's on the crossing road video.
• 50:51
  Speaker A: I'll try and I've got. There's a network error where I can't reach YouTube just now, but hopefully I can get the. I'll be able to get the video of the Jackie Put Bird thing. I'm trying to get. I'm at the moment, I'm trying to get the Kona mustard video. I'm trying to get it on a lower back rate because it's a bit too much memory. But I think we can watch Hugh's song now, hopefully. Let me just. Let me just check this.
• 51:16
  Speaker E: All filmed, recorded and filmed on the Isle of Butte. No sheep were involved, but it's all. Just thought I'd mention that.
• 51:26
  Speaker A: Right, okay. So why did you mention the sheep
• 51:30
  Speaker B: before anybody even asked you? But that sounds a bit suspicious.
• 51:33
  Speaker E: People tend to be sheepish, you know, when it comes to islands, you know, you.
• 51:39
  Speaker B: You would say that.
• 51:43
  Speaker E: So, yeah, you've heard. You've heard about the driving instructor on the ailibute and said can you, can you do it? Can you make a U turn? No, but I can make her eyes pop.
• 51:56
  Speaker A: So we're not, we're not quite ready for. For Hued and the velvet underpants yet. Do you want to talk? In fact I've got the Vimeo link. Do you know what? It's going to be a little bit. It might be a little bit tinny unfortunately because I can't. There is a network error on our system just now on the 11 Verkiske. We then can sometimes play up a little bit but I can probably play off Vimeo. So we'll go to calling Muster then we'll get back to you while I fix this. What is. Tell us about the. The video because you've obviously came with a concept which unlike, unlike most of the songs there's a concept the fathers of Brazilian football. Do you want to give us a introduction and explain what that's all about, John?
• 52:44
  Speaker C: Yeah. So it was my big sister that reminded us that Malcolm McLean who played in Sambia Bamba has grander. Archie McLean was one of the guys that brought the short passing game to Brazil. And right at that moment I was like that needs to be a song. And with the World cup coming up and we us duty play Brazil it felt like that needs to be a song now. So my brother in law, as you know Mark Rody Dixon, he's the mystery for Samba Bamba and it also happens to be Nicolas fiance. So it was a no brainer asked Roddy basically make sure that it was a samba song. And sure enough Mikey Ficklemarnock, who's the keyboard player in Colonel Muster on the Dijon 5, he'd written a brilliant sort of piano hook but it was salsa at that point. We took it erode samba. Fidel got the brass involved, got the rest of Colonel Mustard and the Dijon 5 involved. And the lyrics are basically about the four guys that brought football to Brazil and their links to Scotland. So Thomas Donahoe in 1894 took the first football from Busby. It was actually they sent a letter to his wife, I think her name was Elizabeth, to bring a football and the boys because he'd obviously settled there. It was part of the. The calico, the textile industry over there. And he organized a wee game of football, probably like fiver sides type game of football with the workers and the textile factory. And then in the same year Charles Miller, who has dads from Fairlie, he brought the rule book and Another two footballs. So Thomas Donahoe went to, sorry, Rio Bangu and Rio Charles Miller went to Sao Paulo and I brought the rule book. Started the first sort of formal amateur
• 54:54
  Speaker B: league
• 54:56
  Speaker C: and lots of teams fell over, got involved. And then a bit later on than that, Archie McLean who again was working for the textile industry. JP Coates, he went over for Paisley, he'd done well. He was a guy that played for Johnston Keane, St. Marin supporter, played for Air I think as well and lots of other teams and had a kind of career in Scotland before he went over. But there was no money to be made there. So he went over there and him and this guy Bill Hopkins brought the short passing game which is called Cabalinha. And it's the game that the Scots taught the world, not just Brazil, but Archie McLean. Philip Easley was the guy that took it to Brazil and basically taught the Brazilians how to pass and play properly. And there was a fourth guy, Jock Hamilton from AIR who'd coached teams like Fulham. He went over, coached the Scottish wanderers, they were called and basically Archie McLean and this other guy, Bill Hopkins, they played for the Sao Paulo state team, the highest honor at the time before there was any international team. They were the only two kind of non Brazilians to be allowed to play for Sao Paulo. And they won, they won everything going and were stars of their day. And the original guy who took the football over, Thomas Donahoe, his son Patrick Donahoe was said to be the first guy to do a bicycle kick which as we know McTominay then scored one of the pretty much the arguably between him and Archie Gamble. But I think McTominay's probably steals it now for best Scotland goal ever. So it's a nice full circle but it was a no brainer just because we're obviously a big party band, big festival band. So just to bring the fiesta and carnival of Brazil to the Scotland I the Scotland team and the Scotland World cup song.
• 57:09
  Speaker A: I'm assuming you're going to be playing it at Eden Festival on the main stage next weekend because Scotland are playing their first gig at two in the morning on the same day you're playing on the main stage I We are.
• 57:25
  Speaker C: We're supporting Madness tomorrow. So we'll be playing it there tomorrow and then I will be playing at Eden Festival. But are we exclusive as we're gonna. The first gig we're gonna do it with Sam Yabamba since the single came out is going to be back down the rabbit hole. So that'll be the one where we're doing it full samba band as well. But it's been brilliant. It's one of the ones that we got to play football and play with the samba band in Central Station. The other day I do a better football coach in West Park United and me and my son are finishing up in a couple of weeks. He's what he kind of wind it down. He's joined the school team and so I really missed the coaching. But it was nice. We went up and filmed up at Springboard park the other night and that's at the end of the video that's just came out today. So it's a nice send off and hopefully a nice. We keep shape for the boys. But we've got Farouk who's the Henry Consul of Brazil over in Brazil. They know he's going to be taking the oldest football in the world, the one that was found in Stirling Castle. He's going to be taking that on a retour over America and stuff like that comes for Mary Queen of Scots time. But he's been spreading the words and it's mad because we see your demographics and I right now it's like United Kingdom, then Brazil listening. So it's great. It's getting out there. The Brazilians as well. And Archie McLean's grandson Malcolm was there at Central Station. He's really chuffed with the song. Thomas Donahoe's Descendants held it on Radio Scotland and got in contact. So it's nice keeping these guys. Probably commercial suicide. Not to be singing about McTominay and McGinn and Kenny McLean but it'd be singing about guys for the 1890s instead. But because we're doing it, it's in Brazilian music, it kind of works.
• 59:24
  Speaker A: So what you're saying. I was seeing. You seen the Central Station thing on BBC News, but what I noticed that you also. You threw in there that you've. You're now available for a coaching job. There's a Celtic job available. Are you putting your hat, your disco ball hat in the ring?
• 59:40
  Speaker C: I definitely. I take that job by.
• 59:42
  Speaker A: Yeah, you take the job if they came knocking, right? Oh yeah.
• 59:46
  Speaker C: First.
• 59:47
  Speaker A: Yeah, you're first. We're going to. We're going to watch this now. This is. We're playing. I'm playing this off a Vimeo link. Apologies if it doesn't sound as. You can watch the full video. You can watch the full video properly after the end of the show. But this is the Fathers of Brazilian football by Colonel Mustard and the Dijon
• 1:00:06
  Speaker C: 5 and Sambia Bamba Yabamba.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker A: Jim, what did you make of that?
• 1:00:38
  Speaker B: That was fantastic. Loved it. Great video as well. Some nice keepy up his skills there. John as well. Was that, was that carefully edited but he done three at a time.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker A: How many takes for the keep upies I.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker C: That. That was at least 100 takes to get there. Keep your. Has done a great job on that and Tom Curry as well helping out. Really, really good job. Well done lads. And thanks. Thanks John. Much appreciate it.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker E: Did you enjoy that? I absolutely. It's an excellent video and great football skills and that's a great song. It's. No, I was surprised that it's obviously been done in quite a few different locations and stuff, you know but no, it's good.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker C: Okay, thanks.
• 1:01:33
  Speaker A: I'm gonna need to. We'll try to get the, the tuning on and next and I'm, I'm working on that as we speak. It seems like YouTube is blocked for some reason so I can't. I've not been able to play off YouTube and I'm not being able to download at the minute so. But for Vimeo I could play off Vimeo which worked fine. I'm going to keep, I'm going to keep trying. I'm going to keep trying. In the meantime, what let's talk about Scotland actually at the World cup and go around. What is your. What's your predictions? John, we'll start with you and, and work our way around.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker C: You know, I'm the eternal optimist Mark. So I, I think we've got a team that can get us out the group stages. I think we've got. I. We've got guys that have got that ability if they play well on the day. It's all about if they turn up. But they've played enough tournament football now that they've got the ability to do that. So I reckon we'll get out the group stages.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker A: Amazing. I will. I've got Hugh, your video has. Have. We'll have you on next because it's working. Hugh, what is your. What's your predictions for the football?
• 1:02:45
  Speaker E: I'll be honest with you, I'm not really very much up on modern football. I'm more into football 100 years ago but. No but, but Scotland. No, I think Scotland will definitely get out of the, the first rounds, you know.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker A: Well we've got. It's never been easier because I believe that there's like, like everything there's. There's going to be more football, there's more money to be made so there's more teams Going through an extra round, so it's our best chance. Jim, I know you're a bit of a. A pessimist sometimes, and I think.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker B: I think it's down to what happens with other games, because I think we'll be 80 and three points might be enough to take us through. I think we've been unfortunate to draw because not only we're playing Brazil, but playing Morocco, who are actually one of the best teams in the world right now and may actually be a good shout for an outside bet to win the World Cup. So we've got a really tough second game, third game, but if we can win the first game against Haiti, then it probably takes us through the next round. And although that's the last 32 these days, because there's much more teams in it, it's still something we've never done before. So, yeah, I. I think. I think we'll beat Haiti and. And I think we'll go to the next round. And after that, that's. That's in and after that's like a bonus in it.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker A: A. A 21 win against Brazil and still go it after getting beat Beh. And the reserves, Brazil put the reserves got the sun says Hib's famous five interchangeable forward lane. Also the big influence on Brazilian football when they toured the country in the 1950s. Did you know that? I didn't know that.
• 1:04:25
  Speaker B: I bet you Hib fans made that up.
• 1:04:30
  Speaker A: I'm assuming that maybe from ABS family. Check that one. I've been in the background trying to figure out a way to play your video, and I think I've managed to make it happen. So Fat boys coming in.
• 1:04:46
  Speaker E: As I say, the song is, you know, quite trite, but I was trying to make a point about the fat bars coming him, you know, in fact, I. I researched that there. And in the first nine games that Scotland played England and Scotland won seven times, and the other two games were draws. So that shows you for the first nine years or so, Scotland was really the leading nation and in football. And I mean, I know John's pointed out about it was Scottish people that brought the game to Brazil, but I know the Scottish people also brought it to Argentina, brought it to Italy, brought it to many countries, and Scotland, you know, I feel Scotland's role. I'm not saying that we totally invented football, but we pioneered football, you know, and the fact that our first manager, you know, was a black guy, that's. That's quite another thing as well, you know. So Scotland, I feel a lot of the history is actually coming out in the last 10 or 15 years. To tell you the truth, that kind of was almost silenced. It was as if the, the, the history of football was rewritten, you know, to kind of write us out a bit, you know, so that I was serious in the title of the song. I was correcting the footballs coming home to Fatba's coming home, which I feel I want.
• 1:06:10
  Speaker B: We didn't just take that passing game in Brazil and things, we took it to England. The players that played in the early successful teams in England were mainly Scottish guys. They called them the Scottish Professors because we had worked out how to play a passing game, passing and moving rather than just pump the ball apart, everybody chasing after it. I'm imagining in England when, before the Scottish Professors arrived, it was a bit like watching like a bunch of Waynes play, you know, just everybody chasing one ball at a time. But there's a great Harry Enfield, I think it's a Harry Enfield video of like an old like Victorian team playing against the modern day Arsenal team. And they were just all smoking pipes and chasing the ball everywhere and all that. But it's very true. I mean Andy, if you research the history of English football it's very much those guys known as the Scots Professors who developed the modern game, the modern
• 1:07:01
  Speaker E: game of loving Fulham or something. You know, they won the first FA cup and some like eight or nine other players were Scottish.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker B: You know, other successful teams at the
• 1:07:14
  Speaker C: start were mainly based I think as well, jam. It's, it's thinking why, why that came about, that we were the best footballers or the guys that at least went down and invented passing. It came out, it came out of the pits, do you know what I mean? It came out coal mines, copper mines, came out of factories, calico and textile factories, people that had to work together. So I think that's, that's a kind of almost let the, the other message within, it's about passing, it's about us taking passion around the world. But it's where that came from, people having to work together and you know, coming out of these working class places. And Nicola, my big sister, had done research on her ancestors and one of your ancestors, Robert Brand, he played for Sunderland and different teams but he was a journeyman minor and they weren't allowed to pay a preferred like footballers there wasn't like you weren't allowed to make money from it. But lots of Scottish guys, they were, they were like taking a week under the counter payment as well as doing their mining jobs and stuff like that. And it's because we were hard there, but also because we had that intelligence to go, do, you know, it's easier to work together here than to work, you know, just all run about like headless chickens.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker E: See, I think there's a class aspect to it. You know, the English game was public school boys. You know, whether the Scottish game was. They had to be professional because the bottom line was if they were, you know, to be, they'd be too tired after. After being in the mains. So. So they realized in Scotland, if we're going to sort of be the leading teams, we have to actually pay our players. I mean, it was okay for the rich public school boys. You know, they didn't have to work very hard, so they were all, oh, let's keep an amateur. But actually the professionalism really came from Scotland. And that's. That's kind of, well, just about you.
• 1:09:14
  Speaker A: Mac was saying Scotland had the first professional players. Marco has also confirmed that Scotland was leading nation up to the 50s. And it's absolutely true about the famous five in Brazil. Although I do think he's also a Hubs fan. I do believe him. I believe Marco. But it just so happens that I think that's maybe two Hubs fans in a row. Yeah, that I've maybe said that.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker B: But Brazil were already the best team in the world before Hubs went to Brazil. So I'm quite.
• 1:09:38
  Speaker A: I don't know how I like the way that we took the passing game to Brazil and then we stole the. Kick the ball up to the. The big striker.
• 1:09:47
  Speaker B: We took the passing game to Brazil in the 1890s and then. And then Hubs went out in the 1950s and pretended that we had to take that earlier in the 1890s.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker D: The.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker A: Right. We're. We're actually. 10 past 8. I'm late. I've got. I've got to. As I said, I promised I would cut this at 8 o'.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker B: Clock.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker A: So we're gonna. I'm sorry to. We're gonna do. There's going to be more like David Dehara. I know. Don't worry. We're playing your song. We're gonna play it. We're going. In fact, we'll play your song and we'll come back and we'll wrap it all up. And I do.
• 1:10:24
  Speaker E: But you better review this kick the ball as well, because that person's been asking.
• 1:10:29
  Speaker A: Right. Okay. All right. Okay. Just. Just forget. Okay, I'll just. I'll just.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker E: No, sorry, sorry, sorry.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker A: We need. I don't have any wife. I Just I just, I just wait here I just wait here until someone calls that radio I don't have anything else to do it's fine okay we'll do it we'll do kick the ball I'm going to try and do kick the ball but the problem we've got is is I have a network error and I'm surrounded by boomers here. I do any use know how to fix my network error.
• 1:10:56
  Speaker B: I don't even know what a network is that
• 1:11:01
  Speaker A: I don't know what's going on but YouTube wouldn't let me play anything off of YouTube. Where can okay, let's kick the ball David the hara where can I can you can you email me it if you can email me the song do you call that radio@gmail.com I think there was someone else as well I hopeless if I hobos or David Ahara is watching still email it to you call that radio gmail.com and I will play it and I'll just apologize appointment well well I've been, I've been, I've been peer pressured and we have been doing the drinking game we've been trying to do the drinking game. Jim's been drinking iron brew that's probably worth a lot of money because it's from the the olden days. Let's see they can look at that sound legit. That's that's I think that was handed to him by one of the famous five forwards from hubs as we have noticed that most of the songs did you join did you have any of these lyrics in your song?
• 1:12:01
  Speaker C: None and I think we are I think we are maybe the only only song that's not got at least one of them.
• 1:12:09
  Speaker A: Yeah well I deliberately in the first line said America or at least Mount Florida and that's a line that I've had for about 20 years and I just didn't know where it would when it would make sense but then, then I just why not Scotland is in has gone to the USA and America or at least Mount Florida. Okay we're going we're going to we're going to go to Huey Football's coming home and we will come back and review. You read in the house it's probably the catchest one.
• 1:12:47
  Speaker E: It's not my most profound work. I I, I'll give you that. I'll give you that.
• 1:12:54
  Speaker A: How many, how many did you take off the the drinking game for that one?
• 1:12:59
  Speaker E: I've, I've, I've finished. I finished. Maluka said after watching that
• 1:13:05
  Speaker A: no, it's, it's a crank tune. Also there was a. I like the camera work you got for coming up Trump's.
• 1:13:10
  Speaker E: Actually I broke the, the, the focus pull on the camera. It hasn't worked ever since. My camera's still working but after that.
• 1:13:18
  Speaker A: What did you say? I broke your camera?
• 1:13:20
  Speaker E: No, but it brought, it broke this sort of the, it broke the lens,
• 1:13:25
  Speaker A: broke the glass ceiling, the grass ceiling of art.
• 1:13:29
  Speaker E: No, I just broke the, the kind of the. I can't shut the lens cap anymore.
• 1:13:35
  Speaker A: Just clarify. You blaming me?
• 1:13:37
  Speaker E: No, I'm not blaming you. I just know you mentioned that.
• 1:13:40
  Speaker C: You mentioned.
• 1:13:41
  Speaker A: No, I thought it was glad that he break it
• 1:13:44
  Speaker E: after that shot. Broke it.
• 1:13:47
  Speaker A: This one. Where is it, where is it before?
• 1:13:51
  Speaker E: Back to me. Back the way.
• 1:13:53
  Speaker A: There we are.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker E: There, there. This broke, this broke the. Camera work. That was brilliant camera work there.
• 1:14:05
  Speaker A: Yeah, that was, that was really good camera work. And it didn't break your camera that, that.
• 1:14:09
  Speaker E: No, no, it was before that. You know, in the film the cl.
• 1:14:12
  Speaker A: I just thought I was getting accused of something. No, I just want to know whether they deny or, or, or, or apologize. You know, I mean when I want to get accused I just want to
• 1:14:21
  Speaker E: know if it's, it was the, it was the, as I said, when the clump was thrown.
• 1:14:27
  Speaker A: You know, it's a banger. You says Marco. I like that. Says Stuart. Emails. The email has come in from David Ahara and the. I've, I have got it. I've got the tune. Kick the Ball is here. I've been saying about five emails. Right. We're going to do Kick the ball for sure because there's been a lot of patience here. So this is Kick the ball. Can you let me know if he's.
• 1:14:53
  Speaker C: We need to do the other four and off. He's got five.
• 1:15:00
  Speaker A: Can you see this? All right. Superb.
• 1:15:21
  Speaker E: Is that, I thought that was a
• 1:15:22
  Speaker C: follow up, follow up.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker A: The moment of silence then straight back. No, that's brilliant. I'm glad, I'm glad you, I'm glad you emailed that David. That was, that was class and better
• 1:15:32
  Speaker B: lyrics than the Bell and Sebastian one as well.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker C: I, I, I know Big Dave, he's a top guy. Big Dave o' Hara and this, this is the epitome. What some of the other ones aren't where he's just. That's what it really is. And guys kicking a ball and that. It kind of sums up the ridiculousness of everything else and what everybody else is trying to talk about or achieve through just that wee bit of Humor. I love it. Well done, big man.
• 1:16:07
  Speaker A: It's. It's a. It's a class act. I think it may be my favorite of it. It's the. The energy that he's put into that is incredible. And I mean, how much energy did you put into? Would you. How. How long did it. I mean, obviously the video couldn't have been easy to do. I love when Malky takes the bonnet off and does the heater. That's a great shot.
• 1:16:29
  Speaker E: It was all just one afternoon. It actually wasn't recorded with the underpants. It was recorded with a couple of guys on Butte, you know, and it was. It was basically recorded that the we hut that we were sort of filming and that's where we recorded it. Okay. I would say that was an afternoon's energy from me.
• 1:16:50
  Speaker B: I like to be. I like to be who in your video that you've been. You've like embraced the new Scott pop movement and the guys were all jumping around and dancing and that, you know, so I.
• 1:17:01
  Speaker E: You can see us youngsters. Youngsters.
• 1:17:05
  Speaker B: Very much the same as those young guys we saw earlier who were jumping about Edinburgh.
• 1:17:10
  Speaker E: I think we inspired them maybe. Possibly
• 1:17:14
  Speaker A: David Ara has enjoyed that. Rewind. Yeah, I rewind. Well, no, right. I can't do the rest of the emails because I did try and play another one there, but it was a wav. I have. I have done WAV to MP3 for one to plays out. It's Tom Ambrose who has got a song called 2am Eternal Kickoff. That'll do me because this is the 2am kickoff. So I'm looking forward to Eden Festival. I think I'm gonna go. I think I'm gonna go to that one because the idea of everyone going to a festival dressed to go to a festival and then watched all their favorite bands and then 2m comes in. Scotland are playing Haiti and the World cup for the first time in 20 years in the USA and Trump's America. What could go wrong? What could go wrong? I think it's gonna be a special moment. That's he did next. Yeah. Where else were you watching the game, Jim? You going to watch it, will you? Been your bed.
• 1:18:07
  Speaker B: I didn't watch the last World Cup. I was quite sick for political reasons. And if Scotland hadn't qualified, I'd probably kind of boycotted this one. America's qu. A place right now. Quite a lot going on. But I. But I have to watch Scotland's here. I'm going to have to watch it. Me. Me and a friend are booked in a A West Brewery for the the Brazil game so that's a bit optimistic that I'll still get some singing dance about by the Brazil game but we're kind of hoping the other ones. I don't know I'm. I'm quite old and I take a lot of medication so 2am is going to be a quite ambitious for me. So see see I might be sitting there already like before the FatBan end just wake up and it's like 8am and I've missed it but while I'm
• 1:18:51
  Speaker E: playing the Clutha the pants are playing the Clutha the. The night of the. The first game but we'll play from about 9 to 11.
• 1:18:59
  Speaker A: But is Clifford got the late kickoff. Are they. They going to show the game?
• 1:19:03
  Speaker E: Yeah, yeah they're going to show the game. I. I'll probably bail out and just go to my brothers and watch out my brothers. But, but so we'll be playing before
• 1:19:14
  Speaker A: well I hope and I'm assuming you'll still be Eden John, you watching the game Eden?
• 1:19:20
  Speaker C: I, I'll be Eden mate. I'll be kicking about so I'm. I'm assuming it's Rabbi's Tavern that will be showing it. So quite a cool surreal place to watch your first game or you know
• 1:19:31
  Speaker A: the main stage is usually shut at that time. Maybe the main stage would be the right place to do it if they've got the big screen off. I don't know. I don't actually know. I mean I don't even. I don't know. It sounds like a good time. Anyway we've got the. I'm gonna close it with Tom Ambrose Eternal 2M Eternal Kickoff which is a great KLF reference. Is there any, any, anyone get anything to plug before we go? Any final closing words?
• 1:19:58
  Speaker C: Scotland
• 1:20:02
  Speaker E: my band's playing doing the Rabbit Hole so I'll see you there John. I saw you there last year.
• 1:20:07
  Speaker C: Nice one here look forward to seeing you mate.
• 1:20:09
  Speaker A: Okay and both, both, both Colon Mustard's song World cup song is available right now on YouTube, Spotify, all the streaming platforms you read Fatbus coming home coming him is on YouTube the video and is there a. By the way both versions will look much better on. I've been trying to make things happen with network errors so they look, they look and sound a lot better if you watch it yourself. Yeah. Is it on anybody else? You is it. Is it just YouTube?
• 1:20:41
  Speaker E: Well it's on all that Spotify and all that stuff as well you know all of you all the usual rip off places Jim, you got.
• 1:20:49
  Speaker A: You got. You got the Govern Hill Festival coming up. Is there anything to plug there?
• 1:20:53
  Speaker B: Let's go till August so I know.
• 1:20:55
  Speaker A: So you don't give us. You don't give a. You don't care.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker B: We get Govern Hill Book Fest will kicks off on 7 August at the Queen's Park Parish Church where Jeremy Corbin will be in conversation with Josie Long. So that's that. You get your tickets for that one quick. It will go quick and then there's a whole governor official's program is no out yet. But it's incredible this year you'd be quite surprised at just how wide ranging it is.
• 1:21:18
  Speaker E: You know pants are playing as well. We're playing as well.
• 1:21:24
  Speaker B: Is that. Is that in the street music festival? Is that a one off gig or.
• 1:21:28
  Speaker E: It's the liquor shack or whatever you call it. You know that bare. I'm a guy these days. I. I don't know what's going on in Glasgow. Just sort of dip in and dip out.
• 1:21:41
  Speaker B: I noticed like where you both of you islanders are here. I noticed this. I may have asked you this before you. The streets in Govern Hell named after places in.
• 1:21:50
  Speaker E: But that's right. Arbeg street and that psychologist. He was born in about Big Street. R.D. lang. R.D. lang was born.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker B: Yeah. Big Street. There's another one as well. Was it Ascog?
• 1:22:03
  Speaker E: Yeah.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker A: Yeah.
• 1:22:04
  Speaker E: There's a few Ascot. You're right. Ascog. I'm trying to think. But there is.
• 1:22:08
  Speaker B: You know why that is? Is it somebody if you built that owned the land there or something or.
• 1:22:13
  Speaker E: I'm. I. I don't know. I make my me videos and actually I did a while ago I went to a couple of the streets, you know.
• 1:22:22
  Speaker C: Yeah.
• 1:22:23
  Speaker E: And. But I don't know what the historical reason for that is, you know.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker A: Well, you should maybe talk. You should maybe continue your chat because I'm half an hour late now. So. Thank you. Thank you.
• 1:22:37
  Speaker B: I've got an idea just to delay you further. If you go to your podcast. If the two UDR podcast flight from the island could be called a beaut
• 1:22:44
  Speaker A: and the boys A Beaut and the boys.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker E: Okay, good idea. Good idea.
• 1:22:49
  Speaker A: Great idea. Thank you Jim.
• 1:22:52
  Speaker E: Thanks for having us.
• 1:22:56
  Speaker A: 2:00am Eternal Kickoff by Tom Ambrose and I think it should be playing Bye.
