• 0:07
  Speaker 1: podcast with myself, Simon Donley and my friend to the right,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: and we're elighted to say we have from the world
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: of broadcasting and fantastic guests.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Guys, good, yeah, good, thanks thanks for having me.
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: This is nice, lucky to get you. I think you
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: were up in Scotland so we grabbed you. You've been
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: at the Celtic Play of the Year awards.
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, last night. I'm fresh as a daisy, went
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: straight to my bed five in the morning. I woke
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: up and I was You would have thought you were
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: in a zoo. It was wild. It was a it
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: was a late night for people, but it was good fun.
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: It was good fun, and it was one of those
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: nights whe were like, you don't know how it's going
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: to be. Obviously, the result for the men and the
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: women really helped things that weekend. But that was good
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: and everyone was in good form.
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: So at the stage of the season, everything's kind of decided,
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: but it's still so much to go and a.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: Wait, even it's like, you guys will feel it more've
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: been so affiliated with the club, but is it not
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: a lot more exciting like that little bitter.
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: Like I think it has. I think it has.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: I covered the game yesterday for Celtic TV and I
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: think my overall feeling after it was a much preferred
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: plane because you can control a wee bit of it.
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: See, when you're just like the support watching.
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: That's the same as management as well, of course it
• 1:27
  Speaker 3: is you're managing, you're just standing the side hoping every job.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean Martin Neale said it last night he
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: had two heart attacks yesterday, you know, watching that game.
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: It's coming from the.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: Stress of it, Like the stress must never go away.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: And I think that when you're down I live down
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: South and when you come back up the road and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: again you're in Glasgow, it's like the pressure cooker. I
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: know there's pressure on every manager on every team, but
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: I think it's different. I think it's different in glass
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: that the pressure is unbelievable because you've got job. It's
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: not not like finishing seconds good for people. Not in Gladsgow.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: It's terrible. You can't finish second so exactly exactly, but yeah,
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: there was a good feeling in the air last night
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: and fingers crossed. It's a strong end.
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: I'm confident, always have been, but it's just a wild season.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: It's wild, you know.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: In fact, it was still in just the shouted winning it,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: you know, where if you kept Martin in at the
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: full time where I'm bringing Wilfred and would be points
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: clear with the league being wrapped up. But in fairness,
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: Rangers have done were still staying it at all because
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: they were away outfully changed the manager.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Well, obviously big game then coming up tonight kind of thing.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: We'll see how that goes. But it's I don't know,
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I feel that obviously a lot's happened to the Hearts
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: then in the last week and this footage and stuff
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: going around, But I wonder if that will affect things
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: ever so slightly. Rangers have obviously been bere with Danny Rowle,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: but both Celtic and Rangers have had the most mental seasons,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: you know, in terms of like the managers that come
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: in and it just didn't work.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: That's what we'll see another night. If you count, if
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: you count Martin twice, it's four managers.
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: And one last night I said, I was like, and
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: later on tonight we'll vote for your Celtic manager of
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: the season, Wilfred. Nancy's going to be here. She went
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: down like shit Samwich. But yeah, just it's been mad.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: It's been mad, but it's been interesting. And you know,
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: working down the road, everybody just makes fun of Scotch
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: football down there this season or not because it's a
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: World Cup year, Scotland going to the World Cup. There's
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: been so many twists and turns in the title raise,
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: the hire and the fire, and the Martin and Neill
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: coming back twice. There's a lot more positive, a lot
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: more interests. We're talking about it every day. You know,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: I'm get to change one to come on the show
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: like it never happens like that down the road. We
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: always have that dressing that bias for your club. But
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: actually all of the shows when I'm watching Sky every
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: everyone's covering the Scotch title race. So that's a good
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: thing that is about.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: That brings in to my next question then, so what
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: happened Obviously last week the big cast obviously went over
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: his head.
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: Did you hear this?
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: Oh god, can I set the scene?
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: So obviously seven forty five he asked me to come
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: on and it's on a zoom call. So I've got up,
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: got my coffee, I've got two shoe boxes, he's all
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: ready to go to get my phone at high level
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: with the we vis at the back, and I'm ready
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: to go and to producer. So it is like thirty
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: second Simon to your on and then you get me
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: a lovely welcome, and then casts.
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: Started talking about Brentford.
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: He's looked at his notes and he's like, so Fulham
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: and I'm I thought I was getting pranked.
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: And then you you jumped him, didn't He says.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: Like, And the thing is he knew that because he
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: knows you.
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: Is script is an Exltic player.
• 5:00
  Speaker 2: Said Brentford Fulham, which was a week old script that
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: still managed to stay in there and what as we
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: faced plus it was but I'm sorry, but yeah, that
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: was that was a classic that just so happened.
• 5:14
  Speaker 4: Where is it going?
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: Big Brentford fan, big fan of that was one of
• 5:22
  Speaker 2: those slight radio So there is.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: An interest there because it is a unprecedented three three
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: teams with four games to go still in there.
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: Who could all win it? I love that and the
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: fact that it could go down to go difference even
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: whatever like that. You know that's where we need your
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: shooting boots on. But I think it's it's changed a
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: lot even talking about where is the young Scottish talent.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: You guys will know this more than me. There's such
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a focus on that down south and I probably don't
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: want to hear a lot about down south, but there's
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: such a focus on that. And I think this title
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: race and this has been a World Cup year, surely
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: we're going to see these young kids coming through wherever
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: they are, you know, like it's it's there's less of
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: a focus on these young talents coming through. Why is that?
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: I think the opportunities to go down there. I think
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: what you're seeing now is most of the clubs in
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: England they're taking them, trying to get them early it's sixteen,
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: get them into their academy. So it's actually like two
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: separate parts to their their you know, their club.
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: So they've one for the financial fair play.
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: So then selling a player that comes to the academy,
• 6:31
  Speaker 3: they can then spend three.
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: Times on the financial you know, for their transfers.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: It's not necessarily buying all these kids to go down
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: and maybe not play for that team, you know, to
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: develop them and then move them on to make ways.
• 6:44
  Speaker 4: So the boy went down to Spouse for Hearts.
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: The boy to getting the first team striker Wilson James Wilson. Yeah,
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: so it's not actually to buy them for SPUs. Sometimes
• 6:55
  Speaker 5: you do get through, but you've seen over the years
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: with Chelsea they've been really big at man City and
• 7:02
  Speaker 5: then all the other clubs are now are starting to
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: do it. They're starting to look at the Scottish mark,
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: at the young kids and you're seeing kids from Scotland
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: like going away to Italy now as well. Yeah, because
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: he breaks it and then going back to England.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: You wonder if that's then another problem. I'm sure it was.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: Ali McCoys had said there was a Rangers game this
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: season in Europe but there wasn't one Strangers player who Scottish. Yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: that's mad, like that should be protected cause we get it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and there's been times as well. Celtic we've got
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: one or two as well. But we did a thing
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the other night and we were talking about you know,
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: for me my position in the.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Field, like strikers, there's no real strikers.
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: I've come through either side of Glasgow for a long
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: time because it's one of these ones where any.
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: Player come through.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Now it's defender that you tear these coming through but
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: there's no strikers. It's it's one where you can I
• 7:54
  Speaker 1: scratch your head a wee bit about it. Yeah, maloney,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: I think was the last.
• 7:58
  Speaker 5: Even the young player a year young player, he's done
• 8:00
  Speaker 5: a good season that range the boy mechl More. He's onloan.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: If you've taught them, yeah you know Scottish, you know
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: what I mean. But they're coming.
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: Because of the because of the league. And it's difficult
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: for these teams to put young kids in because there's
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: nothing really in between the academy stuff and playing the
• 8:19
  Speaker 3: first team. It's such a massive jump whereas when we
• 8:23
  Speaker 3: grew up, you played the reserves and you play against
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: senior players at a young age.
• 8:31
  Speaker 5: And now it's stopped. It just you've seen more and
• 8:34
  Speaker 5: more kids going out of the game earlier that should
• 8:38
  Speaker 5: have careers.
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: It's a shame of it. It's a shame I feel
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: that they even we were talking recently about the broadcast
• 8:44
  Speaker 2: deal and stuff, how the money is so little up here,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: like the Sky deal isn't worth an awful lot. But
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: then you would think negotiations probably willerhap soon for the
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: next deal in this title race would push the market.
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: There's going to be more money to the clubs, which
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: might help.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Which will help, we'd think so because I think I
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: go back to my team when I was down. So
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: if they do a kind of look down the those
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: a bit of the Scottish game and I think that
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: likes a Celtic running away with it. Every year you
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: just think it's easy, which obviously hasn't because you've still
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: got to beat what's in front of you. But I
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: think this year it just generates that interest with the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: three teams still fighting out.
• 9:20
  Speaker 4: Yeah, nobody for the heart, but interesting.
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: It's it's been crazy. You know, you've not felt relief
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: like it, you know, even yesterday with a game.
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: Even thank god.
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: Yeah, if you drop, that's it, you're kind of you're
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: ruling yourself out of it. You know it's that close now.
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: So yeah, good, good, good result of the weekend. Guys,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: we're still still well.
• 9:43

• 11:21
  Speaker 2: came back up and do things like that as well.
• 11:23
  Speaker 4: Love it. And Paddy was singing. We were discussing that, so.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: None of us knew the Paddy was a singer. You
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: may get Paddy on I Actually I don't get the
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: fear much because I don't go out out anymore. But
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: you know, when you see him like encouraging your great
• 11:41
  Speaker 2: last night, don't worry about it. And I was like, okay,
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: when I saw him, I was like, you sing and
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: he sings at park Head and everything, so I didn't
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: know you had that. Yeah, he's got a good voice
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: as well, better than you do.
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: And you're just fresh off the I'll touch on your
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: marathon as well, because when I first asked you to
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: come on here, obviously training for that says.
• 12:05
  Speaker 4: Right, let's get that out of the way before we
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: may try and get you on.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: How did you have you guys done?
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: One No, isn't it all the time, don't you back in.
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: My mind my dad did them when he was younger.
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: But then when you were telling me, I think we
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: come off the phone and you were saying you were
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: just going for an eighteen mile Yeah, how long did
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: that take you?
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: That?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Four days? I think I'm a really slow runner and
• 12:31
  Speaker 2: I don't walk it, always run. But I've got no
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: I've got no pace, I've lost the yard. So I
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: really took it easy with the training. But I had
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: like a chat GBT plan where I put in my shifts,
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: the kids, everything that need to be done, and it
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: told me over like five months to do your long
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: runs and your short runs and build up. So I
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: went up to eighteen miles and that was maybe about
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: a month before the marathon, and then the short the
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: shorter runs. I was even looking, God, I'm slow. The
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: marathon on the day took me six hours on the dot,
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: and my dad was there at the end. And Dad
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: did five marathons between three hours twenty and three hours
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: for and he's like this slight guy. And honestly there
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: was people. There's a woman who was thirty weeks pregnant
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: who overtook me and I was like, right, get back,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: you know, but it's amazing. What if you should do it?
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: If it's in the back of your mind, We'll do it,
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Jackie Man, nothing still cry about it. I went on
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: holiday with my husband the day later. It was his birthday,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: so we went to Poach Goal the next morning, and
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: that was one way you recover because you could just
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: sit back, pool and rest. But I would be sitting
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: and croly again, just the emotions. It wrecks your body
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: as well. I saw a good clip actually came up
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: on Instagram because it felt like everyone did the marathon.
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Everyone did it that day. It was like so many
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: people on your timeline had done it, and they're like
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: four hours twenty eight, you know, three ors fifty six.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: I'm like Jesus, like I put I really trained. I
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: felt like I put everything into it, and when I
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: crossed the finish line, that was when I realized, oh,
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: I want to do more, which is through the training
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: I've applied for September Berlin.
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: As do you know that if you do the six
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: original major marathons, you go into the marathon Hall of
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: Fame and you get six in the New York Chicago Boston, London,
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Berlin and Tokyo. So if you do all of those,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: I'm thinking if I could do them all before I'm
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: forty and like always.
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: Have something to do, then.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: The minute I finished it, because I thought the boarding
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: bit was training on your own and the weather was
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: shot here it was freezing. It was always raining one
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: day and then on marathon day, like that's your that's
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: your reward. Because I mean for London, it's it's like
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: a carnival, guys, there's not.
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: One bit of what I remember my dad. I think
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: my dad did five London kids ruined, so all the
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: sights and stuff, but it was the crowd. I think
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: that adrenaline, the moment gets you, gets you going.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: You're not alone, you're not alone at all, And I
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: think then that's it. You realize that you're twenty miles
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: in and I haven't put my music on. Do you
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: know what I mean?
• 15:18
  Speaker 4: That you are?
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: You're smiling and everyone everyone's like GENI, there's brilliant signs.
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: There was a drag queen stage. All the fire brigades
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: are out, you know, shooting you with your the hose
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: and all that, and everyone's out on the streets singing
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: and putting on concerts and stuff. It's not a normal
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: experiences for me. It was a bucket list thing. And
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: then the minute it finished, I thought, well, I'd like
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: to have more days like this, you know, like to
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: put yourself through that and train and work towards something
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: and then we like get a medal at the end
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: of it was like quite a proud moment.
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: Did you see the guy's time that I just let.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: Him Sebastian saw a fifty nine.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: Splintered for the fill twenty six miles.

  Speaker 2: What's good about London It's the Flats Marathon. You can

  Speaker 4: So where how did you get into broad It was
• 20:55
  Speaker 4: always was always spot.
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: No, no, it was Clyde one. I was at cly
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: On my work experience when I was sixty. So there
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: was a My mum worked in mccormicks, which was a
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: music shop in town. They had a client of somebody
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: at Clyde and I always wanted to work in the radio.
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: Just loved listening to the radio. I was that little
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: nerd that used to text the radio station all the
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: time and all that when I was young. You're not
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: a nerd if you do that's fine, keep doing that.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: But my mum then managed to get my work experience
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: later to somebody and then I managed to get in
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: touch with them one day and I went in for
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: a week's work experience and I didn't leave after that.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: I just I couldn't. I didn't want to do anything
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: else but being there. I was bitch in school, to
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: be honest, I not like smart at all, and I'll
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: look it miles off it. And when I got in there,
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: I knew that that's what I wanted to do, like
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: being an environment like that. And you know Gavin Pearson,
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: You know Gavin Pearson. Oh we heart brong to be frairs.
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: I have fans with his mark. But he was on
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: air one day and he let me press like the
• 22:02
  Speaker 2: buttons coming out of the break and I was like,
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: oh my god, what buzz? What buzz? And when I
• 22:09
  Speaker 2: turned seventeen, I got my kind of first work experience
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: kind of then on the street team out handing out
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: pens and whatever when there used to be budgets for
• 22:16
  Speaker 2: that in the workplace and kind of promote and Clyde
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: and stuff out on the streets and in the shopping
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: center street team stuff, and then kind of then went
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: in said do desk oping with Tiger Tim and working
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: on his show. And then I managed to get on
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: air doing the travel so I was a travel reporter
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: at the beginning and then got shows and stuff, so
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: it was great, like I was on every really young.
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: Then I thought I was big ticket. Knew everything, but
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: I didn't like in reflection, I think it was pretty
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: brave of them to let me anywhere near.
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: So even in there was kind of work experience at
• 22:47
  Speaker 4: the start and.
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: Just yeah, didn't didn't look, couldn't. Life was obsessed with
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: the place. I would do anything like I would do
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: anything in there, and they were always really good to me.
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: I think now about kind of anyone trying to get
• 22:59
  Speaker 2: on workp so known what they want, like it's hard
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: to get in there, and when you get in there,
• 23:04
  Speaker 2: they were so good to me. They really looked after
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: me and kind of made me feel like that they
• 23:11
  Speaker 2: wanted me to be part of it. And you know,
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: I was local from the area and whatever worked with
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: Bowie for years and Susie and Robin when he had
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: come over and stuff, and I just it was such
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: a good time. But I left there when I was
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: twenty one, so I was really young, you know at
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: the time. And then I went down south and at
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: that point then it was Loraine, you know, Lraene Kelly.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: She had a daybreak morning show and Duncany worked at
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: Clyde set me up with her for a cupa and
• 23:40
  Speaker 2: I watched her show, and we were in the TV
• 23:42
  Speaker 2: studio and like I was sitting on that like daybreak
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: sofa watching her, you know, do our live TV show,
• 23:47
  Speaker 2: and I was like, oh, this is amazing, this is brilliant.
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: And she sent me an email that night saying there's
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: a job opening here for the green room for the
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: look for a green room host, which is like really
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: a kind of quified runner. You're bringing in the guests,
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: making sure they've been to make up, make sure they've
• 24:03
  Speaker 2: got a taxi out, tease, coffeeses, the rest of it.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: And I did that for a year. When I got
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: that job, I was buzzing because I just then moved
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: to London and I thought from everything I'd done in
• 24:14
  Speaker 2: radio in Scotland that I would have gotten a job
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: miles off it. I was nowhere near it. Kind of
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: thing down there, and then kind of worked my way
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: up then through Good Morning Britain and working on those shows,
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: and then started doing reporting there and that's when I
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: started to cover sport a lot more. And then when
• 24:33
  Speaker 2: COVID happened, my sister and her partner at the time
• 24:37
  Speaker 2: lived with us and we did a women's football podcast
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: together because there was at that point Sky just got
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: the rights to the Women's Super League. So they were footballers.
• 24:47
  Speaker 2: My sister played football as long as we can remember.
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: And they gave me all their contacts and I had
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: this really lovely women's football podcast and that was the
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: kind of start of going into Talk Sport and working
• 24:58
  Speaker 2: with them and talk sports like that. It's the best
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: place in the world, it really is. It's again, it's back,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: and it's like radio first, but everything now is like
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: all multimedia and we're now on TV and smart TVs
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: and all that kind of stuff. And but in terms
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: of like just radio and the conversations and the people
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: you see and like the stars that walk through the doors,
• 25:20
  Speaker 2: it is unbelievable.
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: It's the best.
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: It's the best industry. It's the best place.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: I went from that.
• 25:24
  Speaker 1: So you did the women's podcasting and then something an
• 25:28
  Speaker 1: opportunity came up.
• 25:29
  Speaker 2: It I just I just badgered them. There was I
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: found anyone who worked to talk sport on Twitter, and
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: I would just send the messages pure creep. I'd always
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: do that. That's why I always reply to people now
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: because then somebody replied to me. His name is Joe Amflett.
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: He's my boss. And he got back to me and
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: I took him for a coffee and I sent him
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: my demos that night, and the next week they put
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: me on breakfast with Alan Rozeld in the paper Review.
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: So yeah, instantly they just again looked after you so
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: that you could offer something. That point, women's football was
• 26:02
  Speaker 2: starting to grow, and then it was Joe said to me,
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: don't just stick to women's football, you know, try and
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: cover as much as you can. And I had been
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: a presenter then for a long time at that point,
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: so it was kind of transitioning into just sport, but
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: all sport, like being across it all. And they put
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: me on a kind of development pathway on talkSPORT two
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: and it's kind of all gone from there. So I
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: do a cat. Talksport's a beast, like even you come
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: up here, it's an absolute beast and you realize how
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: big it is. So yeah, I'm always always, nine times
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: out of ten, at least once a month I text
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: Jo like, thank you for changing my life because I
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: never thought I'd working sport ever, never ever thought. Even
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: though my sister was always in sport from a NY.
• 26:50
  Speaker 4: Sport family, she obviously football.
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: You didn't that's an Irish dancer, twenty two years of
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: Irish dancing. That was that was what I did. I
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: used to get dragged to watch her gay when I
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: was young, Paisley saying this, and now I look back
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: and I'm like that I've seen the journey. Like, that's
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: why women's football is so important to me, because I've
• 27:09
  Speaker 2: seen from age five six my sister with a ball
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: and my dad and mum taking her anywhere they possibly
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: could because she loved it and she was good at
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: it and those opportunities weren't there kind of thing. And
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: she's still in it. I mean she's still there. Just
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: got promotion with Palace to WSL one and I think
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: when you've seen the transition of it all and how
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: she's managed to have a career out of it when
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: so little managed to get a career. I know it's
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: the same as men's football, but it means so much
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: to me that it gets spoken about in the right light,
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: you know. I know, sometimes the quality is not there,
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: sometimes the standard's not there, but me like there's not
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: a lot of support for it either, So that's why
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: that means a lot to me. Talk it was kind
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: of yeah, yeah.
• 28:00
  Speaker 1: And I always thought, as well, we are the Talks
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: boat stuff, so that you do that breakfast show.
• 28:05
  Speaker 4: I've heard you in the midweek mornings as well, Alan Brazil.
• 28:09
  Speaker 4: How does that work for you? Did they tell you
• 28:12
  Speaker 4: at the start of the month or do you fill in?
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: No, I'm well Alan's obviously, so it's Jeff Stelling and
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Ali McCoys Manview Tuesday and then Ali's every morning. I think.
• 28:22
  Speaker 2: So he's got a bedroom there, you know what he's like,
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: He's everywhere. That's what I love about Ali is there's
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: nobody with a work ethic like it. Nobody you know,
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: he will, I hope he just might say it. But
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: he'll work in the morning and then he'll be in
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: a car and he'll be driving up to Newcastle and
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: then he'll cover in Newcastle's game and he'll be in
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: the studio the next morning. You know. He just he
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: loves it. He absolutely loves it. So sometimes I think
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: I'm tired and I'm like, wait, how is Ali doing it?
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: You know?
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: Does it structural for you? Then? Is it a monthly thing?
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: Is it a weekly thing? Do you know?
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: I am weekend breakfast some Friday, Saturday, Sunday early breakfast Friday.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: Alan hadn't been keeping too well late he had been
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: feeling well, so I was kind of covering him on
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: the odd Friday and then Saturday Sundays the weekend show.
• 29:06
  Speaker 2: Now I cover with casts and yeah, then I kind
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: of cover where I can kind of thing. I have
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: other work and other bits going on. But now being
• 29:17
  Speaker 2: on the weekend, it's good because I've got young kids,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: so I can focus then on being with the kids
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: and focusing on them on the week and then work
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: on the weekends. And Jamie's got the kids on the weekend.
• 29:26
  Speaker 2: So it's just it's mental like some I don't even
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: know what that is today. It changes all the time.
• 29:33
  Speaker 2: This week's a busy week because I'm covering Alan Wednesa, Thursday, Friday,
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: and then Saturday Sunday. So early starts, lots going on, sleeping,
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: you're dead, that kind of stuff.
• 29:43
  Speaker 4: Was about to say as well.
• 29:44
  Speaker 1: So early starts ass easily that busy all the time.
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: The last two years before I did the Weekends was
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: the early Breakfast Show, and that was five days a week,
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: and that was building up to the Breakfast Show. So
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: you went on here at five, so I was up
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: at quarter to three five days a week for two years,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: and that because when I was young, I would have
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: always done shifts, always didn't bother me. I would DJ
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: in a nightclub and then being a breakfast show for
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: like six in the morning, and it never bothered me.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Now I'm just feeling old and tired, body creaks and
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: all that.
• 30:22
  Speaker 3: Oh god, I'm washing the winter, I suppose as well,
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: when it's dark, getting up dark and getting them back dark,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: it's totally different.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was. It's like a depression at times, like
• 30:32
  Speaker 2: you're it's pitch black in the morning, and then I
• 30:34
  Speaker 2: go home and I sleep in the day and then
• 30:36
  Speaker 2: you wake up you're on the school run and it's dark.
• 30:39
  Speaker 2: That kind of stuff like that. Juggle was hard, but
• 30:42
  Speaker 2: now it's certainly a lot more balanced. And as as
• 30:45
  Speaker 2: a mum, I felt that with the opportunities I was getting,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: you can't say no, you know, I don't. I don't
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: want to say no to anything. But then also, I'm
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: not going to have six year old wins forever, and
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: then they get to that age and I'm like, I
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: want to press pause. And then you know, the World
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: Cup's coming up, and I'm so lucky that I get
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: to go to that like him cup working at it. Yeah,
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: we talk Sport and you get like the best seat
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: in the house and in with the.
• 31:11
  Speaker 4: Camp and the Scotland campaign.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, Scotland's campaign. It's a couple of weeks, but it's
• 31:19
  Speaker 2: something like three and a half week's minimum the way
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: it work out. So my husband's just like losing his mind.
• 31:25
  Speaker 2: He's like, don't, don't go for that long. But that's
• 31:28
  Speaker 2: the way. Then you're like, well you're missing a lot,
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: but you're getting these experiences that you'll never get again.
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: You know, you'll never ever get it. So I feel
• 31:37
  Speaker 2: very lucky. I feel like a really lucky place in
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: my life and very grateful for everything that's happening. You know.
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: There's the characters and Talk Sport. I listened to it,
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: attended one minute.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: I'm in the car and I think Alan Alan, I
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: would say, the funniest man, quick, witted, sharp, He's all
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: of the things all rolled into one. He's like your
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: offensive uncle, but you could you love me bits. He
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: says all the right things, then all the wrong things,
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: and he's been so good to me. Like, I think
• 32:07
  Speaker 2: the reason that I've got on at talkSPORT is because
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: I looked out for me, and I think that was
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: like the Celtic Glasgow connection. You know, he made I
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: think from the beginning he had my back for that.
• 32:17
  Speaker 2: And we had this weird experience when I first moved
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: to London. Do you know Lraen Harvison Lorraine from the
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: news up here? Guys, man, he's not listening. I met
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: her one day down in London and we went into
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: sports bar for a drink and Alan Brazil was there
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: and she knew him. She knew him well. I didn't
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: listen to talkSPORT back then. I was young, and we
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: ended up I was braziled and I didn't And then
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: I went home and I was telling Jamie all about
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: this guy Alan Brazil and whatever, and I was showing
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the pictures and he was like, you were drinking with
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Alan Brazil today, like you've been braziled And I was like, cool,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: what does that even mean? And I show I showed
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: all those pictures in my first week when I started
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: working with him, and he was like, how weird is
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: that side? I know? I think then he always kind
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: of looks out for you and you have that connection.
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: Did the child Yeah?
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: Done Cheltenham with him, Yeah, Cheltenham just gone. I end
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: up covering for him because he just get feeling well. Yeah,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: but he's doing good. He's doing really good. Big character,
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: like larger than life character, and and just like yeah,
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: different different breed altogether kind of thing. Ali's great, everyone's great.
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: They're all such good people, you know, and talk sport,
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: see us being here, where were we we're talking about
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: this affair. When I was at Clyde, you were never
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: ever allowed to mention anything about Celtic, anything about like
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: what kind of team you were involved in there into
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: yeah he's down there. They were like, what are you
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: doing sitting on this man United? Like, you know, I
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: always thought I'd get in trouble for saying that you
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: were from a Celtic background and Celtic family. My sister
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: used to play for Celtic and you know where it's
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: down there. They're like, no, because it just what exists
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: here in Glasgow doesn't exist down there. People don't care
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: about your sectarian ways or whatever. But it's just not
• 34:11
  Speaker 2: a thing. Whereas when you're in here you just would
• 34:13
  Speaker 2: have protected yourself from having it put up with any
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: of that shite. Yeah, you know, but down down south
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: and I talks sport. They encourage you to go hard
• 34:21
  Speaker 2: on that and I love love now being able to
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: be like really proud to have followed CELTICLL my life.
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: So I'm happy with that now.
• 34:30
  Speaker 4: To share on that.
• 34:31
  Speaker 1: Then what can I what's your favorite memories of your
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: your time is growing up the Sheelted then a bit younger.
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: Well, everybody talks about the Barcelona game. I remember that
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: Barcelona game. Yeah, I remember that. It was yesterday. In
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: my head, I can still think I was there, but
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: I wasn't. I was watching my mum and my sisters
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: at home. I think my dad was there and Tony
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: what like that would be a kind of standout memory.
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: But like my dad just screaming at the TV, like
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: screaming he still does is the same. And I watched
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: a game of them not too long ago and I
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: filmed him and I sent it to him. I was like,
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: this is like, this is this is what you're like?
• 35:12
  Speaker 4: Kind of thing that with my boys. My boys are yeah,
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: language is terrible, I know.
• 35:19
  Speaker 2: And my sister she actually has a Celtic record. It's

  Speaker 2: a great Celtic record. First woman ever to be sent
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: off at Celtic Park is my twin sister, so yeah,
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: she played for them for a while as well. So
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: it's yeah, I think it's a beautiful club and people
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: are great, the fans are great, and you realize, actually
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: when you come away from it, how special it is.
• 35:43
  Speaker 2: You know, when being down the road and I love
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: I love working with them and doing the events and
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: whatever like that because everyone's just brilliant. It feels like
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: they're your people, your people. So yeah, I love that.
• 35:59

• 36:40
  Speaker 2: to me years ago, He's like, get yourself trained on
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: the decks and like there's a market there, there's there's
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: very little kind of women DJs. And then he let
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: me cover his show. Then you know the GV experience
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: that was. I mean, I don't know I can And
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: then I remember one night he was leaving and I
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: was taking over and I started sitting up the decks.
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: He's like, can you mix them live on air? And
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: I was like, yes, that's what you'd and he was
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: like no. So he was really good for me, getting
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: me in kind of that network. But like all music
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: I love, I would say, like a more any of
• 37:10
  Speaker 2: the eighties now music to say, I can't stand it

• 37:48
  Speaker 2: think that's one of my first album ashes. Yeah, that's it.
• 37:52
  Speaker 2: But not a love all music. It's like a real
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: mix of everything. Can't play any instruments, can you?
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: I can play a little bit of guitar. When I
• 38:02
  Speaker 1: say a little a little three cards.

  Speaker 2: Maybe is it like oasis or something?
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: You can't so predictable.

  Speaker 2: There was one guy with guitars in the oasis.
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: I can't multitask plenty three cards.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: But yet no no musical talent in our family. I
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: used to pantle here in Glasgow, so I told him
• 38:26

• 42:09
  Speaker 4: I didn't think in the dressing room getting up.
• 42:13
  Speaker 2: It's what people would call ned music here, but I

• 42:37
  Speaker 2: half hour, I'm like, what is this slot? But it's
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: so good, it's amazing. I like to when I used

• 43:04
  Speaker 2: one bat Left or another if you haven't watched it
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: all time, favorite like Scott, I like Happy Gilmore, but

  Speaker 2: you know, when you were young, and you think all
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: the people George me based on the music, and I
• 43:38
  Speaker 2: don't care. West Life they were the first band I
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: went to see. Their albums now are still great. But
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: of all time, Billy Ocean he's my all time favorite.
• 43:50
