- 0:24SPEAKER_05: Thank you to everyone or anyone who tuned in last week.
- 0:29SPEAKER_05: Um, we're absolutely thrilled to be back.
- 0:31SPEAKER_05: I think I speak on first of all, I I've got this moment of uh sincere proudness.
- 0:40SPEAKER_05: I don't know if they're words, but but uh about my two co-hosts.
- 0:44SPEAKER_05: I I joined the call a minute late.
- 0:47SPEAKER_05: They were both already online, they're both already talking shop, they're pushing to be better.
- 0:53SPEAKER_05: Brendan's made a logo, you've got a notepad in front of him.
- 0:57SPEAKER_05: We've hit new heights.
- 0:59SPEAKER_05: Um, I I I I never have started like this, guys.
- 1:02SPEAKER_05: I'm normally on the closet, so thank you.
- 1:05SPEAKER_05: This is wonderful.
- 1:07SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I've had it.
- 1:07SPEAKER_02: I've had a lot of I'm very happy.
- 1:09SPEAKER_02: The logo is I wanted to also give a shout out to Brendan because he he actually stepped up stepped up and made a logo, and I think it's it's a pretty cool logo.
- 1:17SPEAKER_02: No, it's a really cool logo.
- 1:18SPEAKER_02: Well done to you, Brendan.
- 1:19SPEAKER_02: There was some debate, or I already got some stick from people uh about the color of my hair.
- 1:26SPEAKER_02: Um, that it's it apparently it's a big topic.
- 1:30SPEAKER_02: Um, like it's not blonde, it's not ginger, it's somewhere in between.
- 1:36SPEAKER_02: First, we first the first logo, like people don't know, first logo was like really brown, which I which I I thanked Brendan for, but that's like not my color.
- 1:44SPEAKER_02: Then he came up with a really ginger color, which kind of annoyed me.
- 1:47SPEAKER_02: So we ended up on this.
- 1:49SPEAKER_02: So send us an email, let us know at let's.stick something at gmail.com if you like my hair color, right, Philip?
- 1:57SPEAKER_05: Also, yeah, also Brendan uh Brendan got um a bit of stick from most people because he's he also gave himself a beard to start with, and then um me and you plus anyone I showed the logo to asked me why the bit the beard's not right, so Brendan took that off as well.
- 2:16SPEAKER_05: But overall, Brent, you did a great job.
- 2:18SPEAKER_04: Uh, I also got a lot of shit for the fact that my hairline on the actual logo looks awful as well.
- 2:25SPEAKER_04: I've copped a lot of shit, and I got told I look like a samurai.
- 2:28SPEAKER_04: So there we go.
- 2:28SPEAKER_04: That's a good start.
- 2:30SPEAKER_05: Anyway, we're all happy.
- 2:32SPEAKER_05: You especially is happy because he's finally involved just after the this is like the fifth season of him being involved, and we've just sorting the logo, but you know, that's the type of place we are, this type of podcast we are.
- 2:45SPEAKER_05: But um, okay, we'll we're gonna go back to our old school way of doing things of actually talking about some of our own club club hockey.
- 2:53SPEAKER_05: You can you give us a general lowdown about um OR, how you're doing, how your past results have been?
- 3:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we're actually we're doing pretty well.
- 3:03SPEAKER_02: Like it's been it's been a chaotic uh few weeks.
- 3:07SPEAKER_02: Um Sam Lane, uh, as people now know, um uh fucked off.
- 3:13SPEAKER_02: Uh no, he uh he had some uh some personal uh uh stuff back home.
- 3:19SPEAKER_02: Um and then uh he wanted to stay fit because he was coming back at Easter, decided to do a couple trainings with the uh New Zealand national team and broke his foot.
- 3:30SPEAKER_02: Um so um our top goal scorer, top bloke, um just really really good player for us.
- 3:39SPEAKER_02: Uh he's not coming back, so we were kind of in stress.
- 3:43SPEAKER_05: But uh he hasn't re-signed either.
- 3:46SPEAKER_02: No, he he hasn't re-signed.
- 3:48SPEAKER_02: Uh, also again, uh it's not because we don't want him to stay, it's not because Sam didn't want to stay, but there's some uh budget uh uh like I don't know if it's budget issues, but like the club couldn't hold on to him.
- 4:01SPEAKER_02: Uh, where even though both parties wanted him to continue.
- 4:05SPEAKER_02: Um, you know all about it, Phil.
- 4:06SPEAKER_02: Don't have to explain you.
- 4:08SPEAKER_02: Um so uh early on, beep beep.
- 4:16SPEAKER_02: I thought that was really, really uh quick for me, but okay.
- 4:20SPEAKER_02: But we're doing very well.
- 4:21SPEAKER_02: We we drew we had one little little oopsie uh against Lara, with which we drew at home.
- 4:28SPEAKER_02: Um they were they they played a pretty okay game, but they're really really shit, and we should have just won, but we drew 2-2.
- 4:35SPEAKER_02: And last week was our kind of revenge game against uh EHL champion Spinoquay, uh, and we won 3-1.
- 4:42SPEAKER_02: Uh I think they were still hungover uh from their partying because apparently it was a big party.
- 4:48SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, and but we won 3-1.
- 4:51SPEAKER_02: We're 10 points ahead of the number four uh five spots, so we're actually it looks like we're actually making playoffs for the first time in six years.
- 4:58SPEAKER_05: Yeah, sitting pretty.
- 4:59SPEAKER_05: It looks good.
- 5:00SPEAKER_05: Yeah, happy days for the OR boys.
- 5:03SPEAKER_05: Yeah, Brendan.
- 5:06SPEAKER_05: Brendan, how is um Serbit and things going for you?
- 5:09SPEAKER_04: Yeah, pretty well.
- 5:10SPEAKER_04: Um came top of the stage three.
- 5:14SPEAKER_04: Um, so we're going into playoffs, uh playing against Hampstead this weekend on Saturday.
- 5:19SPEAKER_04: Um, still don't know if I'm playing yet, so it's all very much last minute returning from injury.
- 5:25SPEAKER_04: So kind of just it's not selection again.
- 5:28SPEAKER_04: It's not a selection based.
- 5:31SPEAKER_04: Tough crowd.
- 5:32SPEAKER_04: Um, yeah, so I've got a uh slight uh a duct to tear, so we're kind of just returning from that.
- 5:37SPEAKER_04: So we'll see.
- 5:38SPEAKER_04: Hopefully, I'll be all right, um, but we'll find out in the weekend.
- 5:40SPEAKER_04: Um, but other than that, the boys have played really well.
- 5:42SPEAKER_04: James Mazzarello has in without obviously James has been James and just been unbelievable on shootouts.
- 5:51SPEAKER_04: So the boys have managed to pick up four points over the past two games as well, which is pretty big.
- 5:55SPEAKER_04: So from that point of view, yeah, boys are looking good to be honest, coming into it.
- 5:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah, for anyone who didn't know, we have our crazy league system, and phase three means that you go into two pools of four, and any draws they now decide was a shootout, which was pretty crazy, but it means that you're not gonna try and explain.
- 6:13SPEAKER_05: All I'm gonna say is um the English league finals of this weekend, 13th, 14th of April.
- 6:19SPEAKER_05: Um, the women, it's EG versus Hampstead in one semi-final and Serbiton Wimbledon, which should be a nice little derby corker of a game, is the second semi-final on the men's side.
- 6:29SPEAKER_05: Surbiton are playing Hampstead, like Brennan said, and then OGs are playing Wimbledon.
- 6:34SPEAKER_05: Um the exciting thing for the male side of the um English game in England is that they've just announced that three male English clubs are going to qualify for the EHL next year.
- 6:44SPEAKER_05: So that means that the bronze medal match in our side uh is it's got a lot of weight behind it, which is really, really exciting.
- 6:53SPEAKER_04: It's not confirmed if it does, but hopefully the chances are it will do.
- 6:57SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and um yeah, I mean, a small update from my side is that Holcomb, we came second last year and we we didn't make it this year.
- 7:05SPEAKER_05: We uh messed up our game against Hampstead, um, was pretty tough.
- 7:10SPEAKER_05: I've I've I've suddenly started really feeling my age and getting injured you know, for for the last eight weeks, which has been super fun.
- 7:20SPEAKER_05: Um, been loving life doing bike sessions and and rehab, but I'm not here to bring it down.
- 7:26SPEAKER_05: With the English league finals are coming up, um, and we're we're gonna probably go into some more detail on that next week.
- 7:33SPEAKER_05: You you look confused.
- 7:34SPEAKER_05: Are you both injured?
- 7:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you didn't you didn't tell me.
- 7:40SPEAKER_04: We did tell you last week, but I don't think you registered it.
- 7:44SPEAKER_02: I didn't uh yeah, I didn't register it.
- 7:46SPEAKER_02: I'm sorry.
- 7:47SPEAKER_02: Oh well, I wondered.
- 7:49SPEAKER_02: I also wished both of you good luck with your finals this weekend, and apparently it wasn't your finals this weekend.
- 7:54SPEAKER_02: Um but you were you guys really shit the bet, Phil, if you don't didn't make playoffs.
- 7:59SPEAKER_05: We did we did shit the bet.
- 8:01SPEAKER_05: We we we have uh it was generally um the same as last year, where you kind of have a a game against um Hampstead, which is the fourth-fifth game, where the winner of that is most likely gonna go to the finals, and we we we played pretty well, but um lost one nil, and it was a it was a real one of them moments where you have to look back and you say, you know, when you chuck the barn, you chuck the the the kitchen sinker to them and and they keep it out and then they score you know one of the few chances they get.
- 8:35SPEAKER_05: So I mean fair play to them, but yeah, we were we were pretty disappointed after that one.
- 8:39SPEAKER_04: I have a I have an issue with our league now.
- 8:43SPEAKER_04: So on the women's side, Wimbledon have qualified for the playoffs, having finished seventh in the league.
- 8:50SPEAKER_04: They finished seventh in the league, and they're now in the final four.
- 8:55SPEAKER_04: Like I'm I I'll be honest with you, I think that's fucking bullshit.
- 8:59SPEAKER_02: I think your whole league is fucking bullshit.
- 9:02SPEAKER_04: The more do you know what, you the more I've actually thought about it, the more I dislike our league.
- 9:07SPEAKER_04: I've actually I thought it was great at the time, and now the more I've thought about it, actually, the worse it is.
- 9:12SPEAKER_04: I really don't like this whole changing groups and this, that, and the other, and I'd rather it just be you play everyone twice.
- 9:18SPEAKER_04: I think it'd be more exciting and more enjoyable.
- 9:20SPEAKER_05: When you're trying to grow a sport and they'll grow the fan base, making it overly complicated and having a four-phase league system isn't probably not the way to do it.
- 9:29SPEAKER_05: No, so England hockey.
- 9:32SPEAKER_05: You know, I applaud the fact that you had a vision and wanted to change stuff up, but people don't understand.
- 9:39SPEAKER_05: I still don't really understand.
- 9:41SPEAKER_05: None of the players understand.
- 9:42SPEAKER_05: How do we expect the fans to understand?
- 9:45SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it it's we applaud the English hockey for having a vision, but it was a really shit vision.
- 9:53SPEAKER_05: Right, and moving on.
- 9:55SPEAKER_05: Um, Brendan put out a post about um Erin Matson.
- 10:00SPEAKER_05: Uh, and I'm gonna pass this straight over, pass this baton straight over.
- 10:06SPEAKER_04: I know you is gonna get really bored with this section.
- 10:09SPEAKER_04: So, Yupe, if you want to just mute yourself or turn it off, that's absolutely fine.
- 10:12SPEAKER_04: I'm not gonna.
- 10:13SPEAKER_02: No, because I I have I have an opinion about uh about this, and a very strong one as well.
- 10:19SPEAKER_04: Erin Matson is an American, she's a coach for uh North Carolina hockey, Tar Heels.
- 10:25SPEAKER_04: Um she recently, so previously before in the last cycle, she was part of the USA team and then dropped out uh to start coaching um for a college side, which is absolutely fine.
- 10:39SPEAKER_04: No one has any problem with it.
- 10:40SPEAKER_04: It's a decision in life, great, fantastic for her.
- 10:43SPEAKER_04: Um, then recently she's tried to get back into the international hockey scene uh in the run-up to since the US have qualified for the Olympics, because I don't think she thought they would do.
- 10:53SPEAKER_04: Um, anyway, she's lo and behold, she got offered a trial in 2023.
- 10:58SPEAKER_04: She rejected it for the coaching job, absolutely fine.
- 11:01SPEAKER_04: Again, no problems.
- 11:02SPEAKER_04: She's then requested a trial in 2024 and they've said no, and she's kind of kicked off about it on social media.
- 11:08SPEAKER_04: Um, but said she hasn't kicked off about it, which is quite entertaining.
- 11:13SPEAKER_04: Um, anyway, I'd put out a post because I was intrigued to see if one, the hockey world had heard about it all and really what their thoughts were.
- 11:21SPEAKER_04: Um, so I'll read through a few of what some people have said.
- 11:24SPEAKER_04: So on our post alone, yeah, but by the way, I want I want to add one more thing.
- 11:28SPEAKER_02: Yeah, is we should have tagged her.
- 11:31SPEAKER_02: You didn't want to tag her, we should have tagged her.
- 11:34SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I I I have a thing about like I don't necessarily think it's right that we tag people in it when we're just having a discussion about it.
- 11:42SPEAKER_02: Why not?
- 11:43SPEAKER_02: We're talking about her.
- 11:44SPEAKER_02: She she she has the right to know we are talking shit about her behind her.
- 11:48SPEAKER_04: She maybe she can still find it.
- 11:51SPEAKER_04: It's not that she can't find it, it's just that I'm not throwing it at it.
- 11:54SPEAKER_02: She yeah, but you should have tagged her.
- 11:56SPEAKER_02: You should have made her aware that three random guys who play hockey as well are talking about the Michael Jordan of women's hockey.
- 12:04SPEAKER_05: But don't miss that bit, Brent.
- 12:06SPEAKER_05: You missed that bit that she is referred to in America as the Michael Dunn of hockey.
- 12:10SPEAKER_04: I was about to go into again.
- 12:12SPEAKER_04: This is what people have sent in.
- 12:13SPEAKER_04: This is where it all comes in.
- 12:15SPEAKER_04: So, anyway, um, so people for Erin Mattson playing.
- 12:19SPEAKER_04: Uh Lucy Walton wrote in, she said she should 100% be included.
- 12:23SPEAKER_04: Everything she's achieved as a player and coach demonstrates, and then it just stops there.
- 12:26SPEAKER_04: So I don't know what else she was going to say.
- 12:28SPEAKER_04: Uh Callum underscore 12N.
- 12:31SPEAKER_04: If she can play for USA indoor, she should be allowed to try for outdoor as well.
- 12:35SPEAKER_04: So those are the two people out of everybody that wrote in that said And also that's terrible reasoning.
- 12:41SPEAKER_05: If you can play indoor, you play outdoor.
- 12:43SPEAKER_05: They're two totally separate games, so it's a completely redundant point.
- 12:46SPEAKER_04: I'm assuming he's basically saying she's representing USA, so she should be allowed to do it in both contexts.
- 12:51SPEAKER_05: Go home, Callum.
- 12:53SPEAKER_04: So those are the two people that actually supported Erin playing internationally.
- 12:57SPEAKER_04: On the flip side, um Fraser Smith says he agrees with the USA statement.
- 13:03SPEAKER_04: Um, Josh Barron and Mark Prince.
- 13:06SPEAKER_04: American exception exceptionalism is comical to see sometimes.
- 13:12SPEAKER_04: Um shows there's flaws in the system where there isn't anything post-college hockey.
- 13:16SPEAKER_04: Yeah, agreed.
- 13:18SPEAKER_04: Um, and here are the fun ones.
- 13:20SPEAKER_04: So, Simon Webb says it's crazy from the US fans calling her the Michael Jordan of hockey.
- 13:26SPEAKER_04: Completely agree.
- 13:27SPEAKER_04: Statement from the US Hockey Federation is a good explanation.
- 13:31SPEAKER_04: He brought up that it reminds him of the damage done by bringing Krista Cullen back for Rio, even though she didn't play club hockey.
- 13:38SPEAKER_04: Um, but I think Simon's got confused because the Federation asked Krista to come back and they still won gold.
- 13:47SPEAKER_04: This is somebody requesting a trial and they've said no.
- 13:50SPEAKER_04: So I think it's a bit different.
- 13:52SPEAKER_02: But the the the the thing that really annoys me is the ignorance of of the American people.
- 14:02SPEAKER_02: Like, and and we're not doing stereotypes here, but they are thick as fuck.
- 14:06SPEAKER_02: Mate, they're they're acting like it's just America and the world.
- 14:10SPEAKER_02: I I mean I'm the biggest fan of America, but Jesus Christ, they're calling her the greatest hockey player of all time, the GOAT.
- 14:17SPEAKER_02: She what the fuck has she done?
- 14:19SPEAKER_02: She played she plays on the on the on the American football turf, she plays hockey, uh accidentally becomes champion of of a shitty league, and then and then and then it's then she's the goat.
- 14:30SPEAKER_02: Mate, shut the fuck up.
- 14:31SPEAKER_02: She's she she has she has she she didn't want to do the work.
- 14:34SPEAKER_02: Now she thinks, oh fuck, they're actually qualified for Olympics.
- 14:37SPEAKER_02: She probably isn't an Olympian yet, and thinks, oh, I might as well add that to the resume.
- 14:42SPEAKER_02: It's just uh that's why I want her to I want her to hear this, and that's why you should have tagged her.
- 14:48SPEAKER_03: Uh uh it's just shitty move.
- 14:51SPEAKER_03: She is it's just a shitty move.
- 14:53SPEAKER_03: You talk to her, tell her.
- 14:55SPEAKER_05: Yeah, fuck you ever.
- 14:56SPEAKER_05: Can I can I finish can I finish my section?
- 14:59SPEAKER_05: Yeah, no, no, this is what it's about, Brennan.
- 15:01SPEAKER_05: This is what it's about because it when you read the statement, if anyone else read the statement, it it makes it makes people's blood boil because it's like basically like I'm uh you know who I am.
- 15:13SPEAKER_05: I I give my heart and soul, I'm humble, I you know, I accept the apology.
- 15:18SPEAKER_05: So why are you saying it then?
- 15:19SPEAKER_05: Why are you making it public?
- 15:21SPEAKER_02: She wants an A for her group project without doing the work.
- 15:25SPEAKER_04: So Ben Burton.
- 15:27SPEAKER_04: Who's that guy at uni?
- 15:28SPEAKER_04: Ben Burton, Luly Rosso from Australia uh Argentina, who's played against her as well, Simon Organ.
- 15:34SPEAKER_04: Everyone agrees basically that it's all bullshit.
- 15:36SPEAKER_04: My favorite bit is so Ross Gillam Jones, he's um who runs leap hockey, big online following, um, doing great stuff for hockey in America at the moment.
- 15:47SPEAKER_04: He actually commented on her post and she's taken it down.
- 15:52SPEAKER_04: So I just want to read through his statement because I think his statement's bang on.
- 15:56SPEAKER_04: So he said, if you decide to take a full-time job and stop playing 10 months out of the Olympics, what do you expect?
- 16:00SPEAKER_04: You can't have your cake and eat it.
- 16:02SPEAKER_04: The Olympic cycle is four years, and athletes are expected to be committed to the program and put in the hard graft to even make the training squad.
- 16:09SPEAKER_04: You don't get to click your fingers and walk straight back in, no matter how good you are.
- 16:12SPEAKER_04: Fair enough to USA field hockey for making that decision.
- 16:14SPEAKER_04: They're rebuilding a culture that is based on commitment and hard work.
- 16:17SPEAKER_04: This is change.
- 16:18SPEAKER_04: So all of that, bang on.
- 16:20SPEAKER_04: My favorite bit is right at the bottom he puts.
- 16:23SPEAKER_04: And as for the taking time and attention away from the group, which is what she says she doesn't want to do in her statement, you're literally doing it by making it public.
- 16:30SPEAKER_04: So whatever you're trying to stand on the moral high ground, this, that, and the other, you've come across as a complete knob in my in my book from that.
- 16:37SPEAKER_02: Yeah, well, and also it's there's two things.
- 16:39SPEAKER_02: I know Thomas Beels responded, there's a lot of I in that statement, which I thought was really funny, because it it was.
- 16:46SPEAKER_02: It it I think it says 27,000 times I, uh, but she doesn't want to make it about her.
- 16:51SPEAKER_02: And and second, it's not like it's been a it's been like a big hockey debate whether uh Aaron, Aaron, uh, Aaron something wants to be in American squad.
- 17:02SPEAKER_02: Come on, get alive, right?
- 17:06SPEAKER_05: Well, I think we've comprehensively given our viewpoint uh from Let's Stick Together.
- 17:10SPEAKER_05: Ross, well done.
- 17:12SPEAKER_05: Leap hockey, shout out.
- 17:14SPEAKER_05: Let's move it on.
- 17:15SPEAKER_05: Just quickly, before we get onto our exciting um part of this week's episode, uh, Tom Carson got in touch just uh to add uh his viewpoint from uh the sitcom characters in the coupe last week, and he said we missed a very key one uh that Brendan should be Gareth from the UK office.
- 17:39SPEAKER_05: So if anyone doesn't know that, I mean hopefully if we're gonna sort our socials out, Jack Jack's gonna be on it.
- 17:45SPEAKER_05: He could maybe do some lovely comparison of Brendan and Gareth from the US office.
- 17:48SPEAKER_05: Is that not the same as the Dwight from the US office though?
- 17:51SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but he he thought that it was a much more like ept uh comparison.
- 17:57SPEAKER_04: Is that so but then surely if we're following that on, then obviously you and Yupe have to have characters in that as well, yeah?
- 18:05SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 18:07SPEAKER_05: Well I think I think you can still be Ricky Chavez, that's fine.
- 18:10SPEAKER_04: Okay, right.
- 18:11SPEAKER_05: I didn't really want to give them the satisfaction, but fair enough.
- 18:15SPEAKER_05: Well, so so anyone else who fancies you know calling us out or giving us abusive uh sitcom character comparisons, please get in touch.
- 18:22SPEAKER_05: Uh some terrible email that you pause says.
- 18:25SPEAKER_02: Um someone says Ron Weasley, I'm gonna kick off.
- 18:31SPEAKER_05: Scabbers! Oh, I've got too many quotes from around my head.
- 18:35SPEAKER_05: Okay, on to on to the main part.
- 18:38SPEAKER_05: I I had a I had an idea following on from some of the discussions we had about the Hockey India League returning last week, um, and I ran it past these two choppers, and we have collaborated with Hockey Focus, the Instagram account, um, and we are going to build our own six-aside um Hockey India League type team.
- 19:01SPEAKER_05: Okay, the rules are uh we get a hundred thousand dollars each.
- 19:06SPEAKER_05: We are building a six-aside team, one goalkeeper, five outfielders, consisting of three men and three women.
- 19:12SPEAKER_05: Uh, as I said, we've teamed up with Hockey Focus.
- 19:14SPEAKER_05: They're gonna they provided the list of names, then they're gonna create a lovely graphic of our teams and how much we spent on them, and it's gonna go out there so and you can have your say on who which team is gonna win.
- 19:25SPEAKER_05: Uh, I I I think we're all pretty excited about this.
- 19:28SPEAKER_05: Um, basically, how it's gonna work is I'm gonna say a name.
- 19:33SPEAKER_05: Um, we're gonna have to trust our own maths here and make sure we're not going over budget.
- 19:38SPEAKER_05: Um, and we're all gonna make some bids and we're gonna see how this goes.

- 27:02SPEAKER_02: Do you you know what you guys are not thinking about?
- 27:06SPEAKER_02: You also need to think communication in the field and shit.
- 27:09SPEAKER_02: Like if you're going from India to Argentina to Australia, your team is your team, your team is fucked.
- 27:16SPEAKER_02: Um, you know what?
- 27:17SPEAKER_02: I like Delatoy.

- 27:48SPEAKER_04: I'm bidding seven.
- 27:50SPEAKER_04: There is a reason, Phil, that you are not working at a fucking auction.

- 28:06SPEAKER_04: I've already written him down as well, Phil.
- 28:08SPEAKER_04: That is a fucking by the way.
- 28:12SPEAKER_05: I think he's an absolute hero.
- 28:14SPEAKER_05: He had a free hit outside the 25.
- 28:16SPEAKER_04: I don't want your story, Phil.
- 28:17SPEAKER_04: Not now, you fucking you don't get it all your way, mate.
- 28:19SPEAKER_04: You can't have your cake and eat it.
- 28:21SPEAKER_04: Fuck off.
- 28:21SPEAKER_04: Next one.
- 28:22SPEAKER_04: What's the next one?
- 28:23SPEAKER_04: Who's next?
- 28:24SPEAKER_04: It's a podcast, Brennan.
- 28:25SPEAKER_02: We need some stories.
- 28:26SPEAKER_02: Tell Phil.
- 28:27SPEAKER_05: We were out in Argentina last year, and there was basically a stoppage at the end of the four, like towards the end of the game, into like the fourth quarter.
- 28:35SPEAKER_05: And then it's a stoppage where I'm the right wing and he's the left half, and he's got a a ball just outside the 25, and he's looking like he's gonna wang it in.
- 28:42SPEAKER_05: And there's like an injury stoppage.
- 28:45SPEAKER_05: And it it was probably a good opportunity.
- 28:47SPEAKER_05: They needed to get a goal, and I was just looking at him, and we made a bit of eye contact, and I did a tiny little shake of my head, like, you don't want to play this through me.
- 28:55SPEAKER_05: Like, like, come on, let's all be social here.
- 28:58SPEAKER_05: He looked at me, winked, then play restarted.
- 29:03SPEAKER_05: He threatened to pass, he threatened to like play it through me, passed it back, and then came and tapped me on the ass.
- 29:09SPEAKER_05: And I was like, You might you, sir, are a hero.
- 29:14SPEAKER_05: Now we we we've got that's what I need in my team.
- 29:19SPEAKER_05: Yeah, what a signing.
- 29:20SPEAKER_05: He's an absolute steal at 7k.
- 29:22SPEAKER_02: That's exactly the vibe I want in my team.
- 29:25SPEAKER_05: We are gonna take a short break.
- 29:27SPEAKER_05: We've all signed two players.
- 29:29SPEAKER_05: Uh, we'll be back in a second.
- 29:32SPEAKER_02: Brendan's on the closet.
- 29:34SPEAKER_04: No, I just don't know if it's gonna be any good to let me.
- 29:37SPEAKER_04: Brendan's gonna break.
- 29:38SPEAKER_04: Bye.
- 29:43SPEAKER_04: That's fucking bullshit, isn't it?
- 29:45SPEAKER_05: We're back after the break.
- 29:46SPEAKER_05: We're Brendan is firmly on the closet because he's not happy with the auctioneer.
- 29:51SPEAKER_05: And uh, as you just told him, he's got a shit team so far.
- 29:56SPEAKER_05: So I'll be nice to You can give him a chance, even though he said he's out.
- 30:00SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I've never seen this on the closet, and I've seen you on the closet a couple times.
- 30:08SPEAKER_04: I've written him down, I've written him down as part of my team and just fucking ripped off.
- 30:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah, me too.
- 30:12SPEAKER_02: We'll let him choose who he joins.
- 30:13SPEAKER_02: I think I think he'll join Team Vibes instead of team on the closet.
- 30:18SPEAKER_05: Team Vibes.
- 30:20SPEAKER_05: Do you think that this is what the what happens when they're actually the Indian owners are in the team that are in the room?
- 30:26SPEAKER_05: They're shitting over each other.
- 30:29SPEAKER_04: I don't think they have a fucking clue who's who, they're just throwing money around, and when one of them gets excited, the other ones get excited, and so they just chuck a shitload of money.
- 30:37SPEAKER_05: So exactly the same as what's happening here then.
- 30:38SPEAKER_04: We're just we're just exactly no, because I think we know more than they do.
- 30:42SPEAKER_05: The blind leading the blind.
- 30:44SPEAKER_04: Who's next?
- 30:46SPEAKER_05: Right, let's do a big one.
- 30:49SPEAKER_05: Thierry Brinkman.
- 30:52SPEAKER_04: Uh 15.
- 30:55SPEAKER_04: 20.
- 30:57SPEAKER_04: Or 22.
- 30:59SPEAKER_04: 22 and a half.
- 31:03SPEAKER_04: I'll allow it just to annoy Brendan.
- 31:05SPEAKER_04: 23.
- 31:07SPEAKER_04: 23 and a half.
- 31:11SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you can have him.
- 31:12SPEAKER_04: 22.
- 31:13SPEAKER_04: Yes.
- 31:14SPEAKER_04: Unless, Phil, unless you're gonna bid or are you just gonna be the auctioneer from now on?
- 31:17SPEAKER_04: Like, what's going on?
- 31:18SPEAKER_05: I just said 24.
- 31:20SPEAKER_04: Oh.
- 31:22SPEAKER_05: Where the fuck did you come from?
- 31:25SPEAKER_02: Girly fuck.

- 31:31SPEAKER_02: 25.
- 31:33SPEAKER_02: 26.
- 31:37SPEAKER_02: Phil, you're really getting on my nerves.
- 31:40SPEAKER_02: I I told myself I was not going to do a rash.
- 31:45SPEAKER_02: 30.
- 31:46SPEAKER_02: 31.
- 31:48SPEAKER_07: Phil, fuck you.
- 31:50SPEAKER_07: Mate, you already Phil, fuck you.
- 31:55SPEAKER_07: 32.
- 31:58SPEAKER_05: 34.
- 32:01SPEAKER_04: Phil, shut the fuck up.
- 32:03SPEAKER_04: You don't know how an auction works.
- 32:05SPEAKER_04: You should quit often.
- 32:07SPEAKER_04: Now, this is what I'd love it to be in the actual auction at the end of the screen, shut the fuck up.
- 32:14SPEAKER_05: Going once.
- 32:16SPEAKER_01: I'm going 35.
- 32:19SPEAKER_05: Sold 35k.
- 32:27SPEAKER_01: Well done, you that's a hell of a signing.
- 32:30SPEAKER_01: Oh, you know what?
- 32:31SPEAKER_01: I don't have enough money, I think, to buy myself anymore.
- 32:34SPEAKER_04: No, you do, mate.
- 32:35SPEAKER_04: We're not we're not bidding.
- 32:38SPEAKER_04: Yeah, you I'm sending you Siberia, mate.
- 32:41SPEAKER_04: You just to let you know, you've spent 52k on three players so far.
- 32:44SPEAKER_04: You're alright.
- 32:44SPEAKER_04: You're doing well.
- 32:45SPEAKER_04: Yeah, that's actually pretty good, you know.
- 32:47SPEAKER_05: I reckon that's really good.
- 32:48SPEAKER_04: I'm thinking half half.
- 32:50SPEAKER_04: Would have been massively overspending if he'd have bought Brinkman then.
- 32:54SPEAKER_02: Mate, and I only need 5k to buy skin jazz because you guys don't want a goalie.
- 32:58SPEAKER_02: You already have your goalie.
- 32:59SPEAKER_02: So that's what that's what you think.
- 33:02SPEAKER_02: Yeah, good.
- 33:02SPEAKER_02: For a double keeper player to go get two goalies, Brendan.
- 33:06SPEAKER_04: Fuck the best scene.
- 33:07SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but the best part is you you need a goalie, so if I keep bidding, eventually you're gonna have to buy him.
- 33:12SPEAKER_02: Jerry Brinkman is going to is is getting is getting 350,000 euros in our league.
- 33:19SPEAKER_02: That's a lot.
- 33:20SPEAKER_05: Lily hoursley.

- 33:56SPEAKER_00: Cool.
- 33:58SPEAKER_04: I'll be honest with you, ropes.
- 33:59SPEAKER_04: That's not what it's out the way you thought it was.
- 34:01SPEAKER_04: Where's he playing, Phil?
- 34:02SPEAKER_04: Because you already have a goalie.
- 34:03SPEAKER_03: Is who's is paying no left for it?
- 34:05SPEAKER_03: Or because you can only buy six players.
- 34:07SPEAKER_07: We're not doing subs and shit.
- 34:08SPEAKER_07: You can only buy six players.
- 34:10SPEAKER_07: You yeah, Phil?

- 34:13SPEAKER_07: You're in for mid you, huh?
- 34:15SPEAKER_04: I wrote it down.
- 34:16SPEAKER_04: Surely, surely he can buy more with his 100k.
- 34:20SPEAKER_02: No, no.
- 34:21SPEAKER_02: We said no, we said six players.
- 34:24SPEAKER_02: You choose six players.
- 34:25SPEAKER_02: Phil just no, Phil.
- 34:28SPEAKER_02: Don't change the don't don't change the rules halfway through the game.
- 34:32SPEAKER_05: Now, what's really interesting about this is just how competitive this clearly is, and how on the I've I haven't actually seen Yupe this angry.
- 34:39SPEAKER_05: I I want to get the clip out instantly and want to show you all of his faces when he had to pay 35k for and now he's he's terrified that the rules were you choose your own six side team with 100k.
- 34:54SPEAKER_07: 8k for Sri Jess.
- 34:57SPEAKER_04: No, no, no.
- 34:57SPEAKER_04: You let him have it because I want to see him play Shree Jash outfield.
- 35:01SPEAKER_04: I'm with you.
- 35:01SPEAKER_04: I think I think you should only get six players.
- 35:03SPEAKER_05: Oh, we'll put it out, I'll put it out to V AR.
- 35:06SPEAKER_05: Uh let's just decide.
- 35:07SPEAKER_05: And yeah, two against one, Phil.
- 35:09SPEAKER_05: It's two against one.
- 35:10SPEAKER_05: Yeah, that's not how this works.
- 35:12SPEAKER_05: I don't think you guys realize.
- 35:13SPEAKER_02: Then I bid 8k for Sree Jazz again.
- 35:16SPEAKER_05: Nine.
- 35:24SPEAKER_04: Once you bid, you can once you once you've bidded.
- 35:26SPEAKER_04: I think the rule should be once you've bid you you have to be you have to buy him, or you obviously you'd have to put the money in.
- 35:31SPEAKER_05: Okay, let's just make it.
- 35:32SPEAKER_05: Let's just let's should no no no let's let's just like make it fair.
- 35:35SPEAKER_05: You you you can have him for for 8k.
- 35:40SPEAKER_05: Okay, because then we we actually all have a proper team.
- 35:43SPEAKER_02: Um I'll I'll accept it.
- 35:46SPEAKER_02: I just want I just want the the board and the listeners to know that I was genuinely really smart.
- 35:52SPEAKER_02: Phil thought he could outsmart me, and now Phil was there.
- 35:55SPEAKER_02: Like that is the main thing.
- 35:57SPEAKER_02: Phil was the idiot, you was smart for once.
- 35:59SPEAKER_02: Okay, that's the bad team.
- 36:02SPEAKER_02: Another guy who's really really good vibes.
- 36:04SPEAKER_04: That is twice now.
- 36:05SPEAKER_04: That's twice now that Phil is folded up as auctioneer.
- 36:08SPEAKER_04: It's awful.
- 36:08SPEAKER_04: This is this has gone to pot.
- 36:11SPEAKER_05: Well, what I what I did think is why you why did you want Sri Jess just out of interest?
- 36:16SPEAKER_05: Huh?
- 36:16SPEAKER_05: This is you great.
- 36:18SPEAKER_05: You wanted you've just got the Great Wall of India.
- 36:20SPEAKER_05: You must be absolutely thrilled.
- 36:22SPEAKER_02: He's a really he always says, uh, good game, brother.
- 36:25SPEAKER_02: So um I like him, he's a good guy.
- 36:29SPEAKER_02: Um, yeah, you know what, Phil?
- 36:32SPEAKER_02: You took uh you took pain.
- 36:35SPEAKER_02: There were only two goalies on this thing, and Sebi, he's I'm all I don't know who she is, to be honest.
- 36:42SPEAKER_02: And uh Josine Koning, I yeah, not the biggest fan, so I'm going for Sky Jazz.
- 36:48SPEAKER_02: Good choices.
- 36:49SPEAKER_02: Nice.
- 36:50SPEAKER_04: You are sassy.
- 36:52SPEAKER_02: Why sassy?
- 36:53SPEAKER_02: I'm just giving my opinion.
- 36:54SPEAKER_03: I think Josin is a great goalie.
- 36:56SPEAKER_03: I don't know Sebi and it feels too pain, so I'm left with Sky Jess.
- 37:00SPEAKER_03: Right, moving on.
- 37:02SPEAKER_03: Sand of Ard.
- 37:03SPEAKER_04: 20k 21, 25, 27.
- 37:10SPEAKER_04: The best part is you, is Phil's so far not got any female players, so he needs to bid big.
- 37:15SPEAKER_04: Uh 30k, Phil.
- 37:18SPEAKER_04: 32, 35, 40, 42.
- 37:27SPEAKER_04: Oh shit, yours.
- 37:30SPEAKER_04: Absolutely.
- 37:31SPEAKER_05: Oh wow.
- 37:33SPEAKER_05: That is a lot of money, Brent.
- 37:35SPEAKER_05: You're a big fan.
- 37:38SPEAKER_04: Best female player in the world, mate.
- 37:39SPEAKER_04: No problems with that.
- 37:40SPEAKER_05: Fine, all good.
- 37:42SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 37:44SPEAKER_05: Next player.
- 37:46SPEAKER_05: Antoine Keener.
- 37:48SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'll I'll I'll I'll take you guys on this on a little journey that's called my thoughts.
- 37:55SPEAKER_02: Um, I have a I have a team which they are gelling.
- 37:59SPEAKER_02: I can already see it.
- 38:01SPEAKER_02: Um language-wise, we might have a problem with an Indian, an Argentina, and two duchies.
- 38:07SPEAKER_02: Do I want to bring Antoine Kina, who is not who is a who is a good guy next to the field, but can be a yeah.
- 38:16SPEAKER_02: I'm just gonna call it he's a bitch in the field.
- 38:18SPEAKER_02: He complains a lot and he doesn't bring up the vibes.
- 38:22SPEAKER_02: Amazing player, but I already have a midfielder with fleece.
- 38:25SPEAKER_02: I'm playing 5k.
- 38:29SPEAKER_04: All that for 5k, uh 7k.
- 38:33SPEAKER_02: I think I think he needs he needs uh a male player.
- 38:38SPEAKER_02: I'm going eight.
- 38:39SPEAKER_02: I'll go nine.
- 38:44SPEAKER_03: Um fuck you know what?
- 38:48SPEAKER_02: I cannot take a male player.
- 38:50SPEAKER_05: I was about to say you can't take him.
- 38:53SPEAKER_05: You've already got three guys.
- 38:55SPEAKER_05: Okay, Brendan, you can have him.
- 38:59SPEAKER_04: Thanks, man.
- 39:00SPEAKER_04: Can I get him for the lowest possible price then?
- 39:02SPEAKER_04: Because you can't have him.
- 39:03SPEAKER_05: No, you're having him for 9k.
- 39:05SPEAKER_04: Oh, interesting.
- 39:06SPEAKER_04: Uh interesting how that works, Phil, isn't it?
- 39:09SPEAKER_04: It's really interesting.
- 39:10SPEAKER_04: No, no, no, it's just interesting how it works sometimes for you.
- 39:13SPEAKER_04: Oh no, wait, no, it always works for you, Phil.
- 39:15SPEAKER_04: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 39:16SPEAKER_05: Renato from Argentina.
- 39:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
- 39:20SPEAKER_02: Do I bid here?
- 39:22SPEAKER_05: I I'm I'm thinking as as an owner.
- 39:27SPEAKER_05: I I'm I'm 10k.
- 39:31SPEAKER_04: I'll go 12k.
- 39:34SPEAKER_05: 14.
- 39:36SPEAKER_04: Uh 15.
- 39:38SPEAKER_05: 16.
- 39:42SPEAKER_04: 18.
- 39:44SPEAKER_05: Let's even it out.
- 39:45SPEAKER_05: 20.
- 39:47SPEAKER_04: Uh I can't buy her, Phil, so I'm happy for you to pay 20k for her.
- 39:50SPEAKER_05: Cool.
- 39:51SPEAKER_05: I'll take her.
- 39:52SPEAKER_02: Look who played who?
- 39:54SPEAKER_02: Look how the turntables have tabled.
- 39:58SPEAKER_05: Look, to be honest with you, that was in my budget.
- 40:00SPEAKER_05: Um, she's she's she she dribbles 10 times, she loses at nine, but it's always really exciting.
- 40:07SPEAKER_05: Like, I I enjoy watching.
- 40:08SPEAKER_04: You're getting yeah, tickets are being sold at your place, Phil.
- 40:11SPEAKER_04: I'll give you that.
- 40:11SPEAKER_04: They're coming over.
- 40:12SPEAKER_02: I was I was also maybe bidding, but then I thought I already have someone who's not uh who's like under five foot five, so I don't need another.
- 40:22SPEAKER_04: Of course, you're you're an owner that picks on height, and that makes complete sense.
- 40:26SPEAKER_02: Height is important, Brendan.
- 40:30SPEAKER_05: Maddie Fitzpatrick, Australian women's defender.
- 40:35SPEAKER_05: Siberia?
- 40:36SPEAKER_04: Yeah, Siberia.
- 40:37SPEAKER_04: I I can't bid, so I'm out.
- 40:39SPEAKER_05: All right, Siberia.
- 40:40SPEAKER_02: I won't bid.
- 40:43SPEAKER_04: Explain why you fucked up, that's fine.
- 40:46SPEAKER_05: So we've come across a small floor in our plan.
- 40:49SPEAKER_04: We asked, hold on, Phil and Yupe have come across a small floor.
- 40:53SPEAKER_04: Brendan played it perfectly.
- 40:55SPEAKER_04: Thank you.
- 40:55SPEAKER_05: We asked Hockey Focus for names, uh, and I only asked for a certain amount of names, and we've sent too many to Siberia, so there isn't enough names left in our hat to fill out our teams.
- 41:06SPEAKER_05: Um, yeah, I'm not sure this is a good listen, but mean the three of us are having a great time.
- 41:12SPEAKER_05: So I'm gonna crack on until we loop run out of names, then we'll just add some more, and I'll choose really good players, and me and you have a great team.
- 41:19SPEAKER_05: Okay, sound good.
- 41:20SPEAKER_05: Alright, let's carry on.
- 41:21SPEAKER_05: Okay.
- 41:22SPEAKER_05: You mole.
- 41:28SPEAKER_07: Someone please bid.
- 41:29SPEAKER_07: I'll bid, I'll, I'll, I'll please 2k.
- 41:36SPEAKER_03: Mate, look mate, Brent.
- 41:38SPEAKER_03: You need a defender.
- 41:38SPEAKER_03: I'm looking at your team.
- 41:40SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 41:41SPEAKER_05: There's more defenders available.
- 41:42SPEAKER_05: There's a minimum of 5k, Brent.
- 41:44SPEAKER_05: Come on.
- 41:46SPEAKER_04: I'll I'll bid 5k for you, mate.
- 41:49SPEAKER_05: Six.
- 41:51SPEAKER_05: No, five and a half, five and a half.
- 41:53SPEAKER_04: No, no, you said six.
- 41:54SPEAKER_04: You said seven.
- 41:57SPEAKER_04: Nah, seven.
- 41:59SPEAKER_04: Eight.
- 42:02SPEAKER_04: Uh you can have him, Phil.
- 42:05SPEAKER_04: That's all your men then.
- 42:06SPEAKER_04: That's all your boys done.
- 42:08SPEAKER_05: You de mole.
- 42:09SPEAKER_05: That is a hell of a signing for eight K.
- 42:13SPEAKER_04: It's a good signing that.
- 42:14SPEAKER_05: You know, this is the problem.
- 42:15SPEAKER_05: You're gonna rock up to India on my team, and you're gonna be so unmotivated because you've only got 8k out of it.
- 42:20SPEAKER_04: Yeah, send me to Siberia.
- 42:21SPEAKER_04: I'll cut it.
- 42:22SPEAKER_04: Can I can I claim uh Bockard and Govers, please, as my other two players?
- 42:29SPEAKER_05: This is the problem with this is the flaw in our plan.
- 42:31SPEAKER_05: Is that is that you now get them for 5k each and we're well under budget.
- 42:35SPEAKER_04: We've perfect, and I've got 25k to spend on whatever.
- 42:39SPEAKER_04: We're having we're getting the best hotel.
- 42:42SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I'm I've had an absolute blinder.
- 42:51SPEAKER_02: I know I know thinking ahead is not my biggest strength.
- 42:56SPEAKER_02: I might even go as far as saying it's a weakness.
- 42:58SPEAKER_02: Yes, Brendan.
- 43:00SPEAKER_02: Well done to you.
- 43:01SPEAKER_02: But I don't think we can we can allow you to buy to buy both Govrus and Go Chukala for 5k.
- 43:08SPEAKER_04: I've had an absol I've played an absolute blinder in this in this draft.
- 43:13SPEAKER_04: I've saved 25k and I've got a fucking good team.
- 43:16SPEAKER_04: I'm actually buzzing.
- 43:17SPEAKER_04: Feel like Shri Jesh outfield at one stage, an absolute joke.
- 43:22SPEAKER_05: And you were signing four males, absolute shambles, the two of you.
- 43:26SPEAKER_05: I mean, what I've just had I've just come to some serious realizations as we've been doing this pod is that like my plan sounded really good, but what has actually happened is is with our 100k budget, we've got nowhere close to buying it.
- 43:40SPEAKER_05: There's this Brendan's worked out that there's two males left and he can just have them because me and you don't have space for them anymore.
- 43:48SPEAKER_05: And he's sitting pretty, and now I don't know if this is good material.
- 43:53SPEAKER_05: Like your your team goes out, yeah, okay, Brendan.
- 43:58SPEAKER_05: I mean, I'm gonna have to we're gonna have to roll with it now.
- 44:00SPEAKER_05: We're too deep in it, aren't we?
- 44:03SPEAKER_04: Do you want my 25 extra K so you've got a bit more spending money?
- 44:08SPEAKER_05: And Bocard.
- 44:09SPEAKER_05: Right, so it means Brendan's team is is complete.
- 44:12SPEAKER_05: Me and Yupa fighting out.
- 44:14SPEAKER_05: Um Frederica Matler.
- 44:22SPEAKER_04: You've you've got you've got 40k to spend.
- 44:25SPEAKER_02: What what happens if I now say 40k for mudla?
- 44:29SPEAKER_04: Well, you can't you've got a team of five.
- 44:31SPEAKER_04: Yeah, no, but what happens then?
- 44:34SPEAKER_04: So you'd just be playing with a team of five.
- 44:36SPEAKER_04: I'd say you're struggling, but probably not as much as you get someone on a free at the end.
- 44:41SPEAKER_05: You get so you get one of the reserves.
- 44:42SPEAKER_02: We have to call Motla.
- 44:44SPEAKER_05: We have to call Siberia back.
- 44:46SPEAKER_02: 10k for Motla.
- 44:47SPEAKER_05: 30k.
- 44:54SPEAKER_03: Ah 31.
- 44:58SPEAKER_03: 35.
- 45:01SPEAKER_02: Ah, you know what?
- 45:02SPEAKER_02: Fuck you.
- 45:02SPEAKER_02: 36.
- 45:03SPEAKER_02: Oh, wait, I can't because then I cannot buy another one.
- 45:06SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you go 35.
- 45:07SPEAKER_03: Fuck you, Phil.
- 45:08SPEAKER_03: Fuck you.
- 45:09SPEAKER_03: I'm really fucked up.
- 45:10SPEAKER_03: This one.
- 45:12SPEAKER_05: Right.
- 45:13SPEAKER_05: We're just we're just doing women now because um we're actually gonna have to go we're gonna have to go to go to Siberia and bring them back.
- 45:23SPEAKER_05: Oh no, we've got one more.
- 45:24SPEAKER_05: Um, Gorzalani.
- 45:26SPEAKER_01: Gorzolani.
- 45:28SPEAKER_01: You make it sound so horrible.
- 45:30SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you know what?
- 45:31SPEAKER_01: I'll give her 5k.
- 45:34SPEAKER_05: How much have I got left to spend?
- 45:36SPEAKER_05: Phil, you've got 8k left to spend.
- 45:38SPEAKER_05: 8k.
- 45:40SPEAKER_04: 8.5, fuck you, Phil.
- 45:43SPEAKER_04: You you don't want 0.5.
- 45:45SPEAKER_04: That makes it harder for the maths.
- 45:46SPEAKER_05: Right, you've got Gorzolani for 8.5k.
- 45:51SPEAKER_05: Right now, what me have to do now is um go back to Siberia and pull back the uh women that we've sent there.
- 45:59SPEAKER_05: Do you want me to get do you want me to give you new names?
- 46:01SPEAKER_05: No, no, we're gonna go back to Siberia, Brim.
- 46:03SPEAKER_05: Okay, and we'll start from the start from the start.
- 46:06SPEAKER_05: Uh Anna Schroeder.
- 46:10SPEAKER_02: You know what?
- 46:10SPEAKER_02: I'd rather play with five than have an Schroeder on my team.
- 46:16SPEAKER_05: I'm gonna bid 5k for it.
- 46:18SPEAKER_02: Can I have it?
- 46:18SPEAKER_02: Yeah, good, yeah.
- 46:19SPEAKER_02: Enjoy.
- 46:22SPEAKER_02: You have a shit team.
- 46:28SPEAKER_05: And then Yupe, you've got the choice out of Lily Houseley or Maddie Fitzpatrick to choose from.
- 46:37SPEAKER_05: Remember, this is hockey focused, they sent us the names.
- 46:40SPEAKER_05: We are trying to bid for them and create our best six side team.
- 46:44SPEAKER_05: We've completely lost ourselves, we've done it wrong, but you've got a choice of two uh women to complete his six-side team.
- 46:53SPEAKER_02: I'm debating whether I want to go with five into this tournament.
- 46:57SPEAKER_02: No, I'll give.
- 47:00SPEAKER_02: Wait, hold on a second.
- 47:02SPEAKER_02: I still have left 32.5 point 31.5k.
- 47:06SPEAKER_05: Well, it doesn't matter.
- 47:07SPEAKER_05: Me and Brennan's teams are complete.
- 47:08SPEAKER_05: You're just you just get to choose who you're gonna spend the money on.
- 47:11SPEAKER_05: Who do you want to buy off me?
- 47:13SPEAKER_02: I'm been boy, that's a nice little turn there.
- 47:17SPEAKER_04: No, expected transfers would be available, wouldn't they?
- 47:20SPEAKER_02: Swaps, yes.
- 47:21SPEAKER_02: Swaps would be I'm giving, but can you also I'm thinking whether we could like swap, but then you also need to do like the salary is also a swap, you know what I mean?
- 47:33SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I think to be honest with you, I I'd like quite like to wrap this up.
- 47:37SPEAKER_05: Um then I'm then I'm buying Lily Owsley for 30k.
- 47:43SPEAKER_04: Just to spend all the money you can.
- 47:46SPEAKER_03: Uh no, yeah, I'm going Owsley for 30k.
- 47:49SPEAKER_05: Okay, 30k.
- 47:50SPEAKER_03: And then I hope she's happy with it.
- 47:52SPEAKER_05: So just to conclude, we have all of our six side teams.
- 47:55SPEAKER_05: Thank you again to hockey focus.
- 47:57SPEAKER_05: Let's just Brendan, do you want to introduce we'll introduce our teams and give a little lowdown?

- 48:20SPEAKER_04: Uh, then I've got uh Devad, Keener in midfield, Govers, and Stappenhorst up front.
- 48:26SPEAKER_04: I have to admit, I genuinely think I've got the best team here.
- 48:30SPEAKER_04: Moving on to Yupe.
- 48:32SPEAKER_04: That was for 75k, by the way, just in case you were wondering.
- 48:36SPEAKER_02: I spent close.
- 48:39SPEAKER_02: I only was the only one who did the assignment right because I I actually got to 100k.
- 48:44SPEAKER_02: I value my players, I pay them well.
- 48:46SPEAKER_02: They will not strike because they're underpaid, they were happy in my team.

- 50:18SPEAKER_05: Thank you, Yup.
- 50:20SPEAKER_05: Um, yeah, the payno at the back, just uh yeah, doing this thing.
- 50:24SPEAKER_05: We've got we've got one defender, and he's he's not really a defender, it's you mole.
- 50:28SPEAKER_05: Um I'm gonna stick him out on the right.
- 50:31SPEAKER_05: He's gonna be he's not gonna be very motivated, so um, I've put him close to Anna Schroeder because I know he's a huge fan of hers, so they can they can really really connect.
- 50:40SPEAKER_05: Um Manpri, I'm I'm backing him to do 90% of the work and just the general stuff.
- 50:47SPEAKER_05: And then up front, we've got Granato and Matler.
- 50:52SPEAKER_05: They're not gonna be interested in each other, that the vibes aren't gonna be good.
- 50:55SPEAKER_05: I'm I'm not expecting the vibes to be good, but you know, Matla's gonna bang the ball in the goal, and um Granato's gonna get the fans through the door, and and the rope array is gonna be strong.
- 51:05SPEAKER_05: I'm I'm I'm absolutely thrilled with my team.
- 51:08SPEAKER_05: Um, this has been the the um let's stick together Indian auction.
- 51:13SPEAKER_05: I I don't know what to say about it.
- 51:15SPEAKER_02: I hate that.
- 51:16SPEAKER_02: Your team is awful.
- 51:17SPEAKER_02: I hate that Brendan won this by Ma.
- 51:21SPEAKER_01: Jesus Christ, Phil, what did we do?
- 51:24SPEAKER_03: I'm not I'm not even lying.
- 51:26SPEAKER_03: I'm I'm actually really happy with my team.
- 51:28SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you have an unreal team now.
- 51:30SPEAKER_03: I'm looking.
- 51:30SPEAKER_03: I think you won, Phil.
- 51:31SPEAKER_03: Your team is unreal.
- 51:33SPEAKER_03: Yeah, Brendan.
- 51:34SPEAKER_03: Brendan absolutely not.
- 51:36SPEAKER_05: You've you've got like you've got a lot of like, I'd say, like, um defense in your team.
- 51:42SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, I can see what you mean.
- 51:44SPEAKER_05: Yeah, you yeah, and and let's be honest, as you as the owner, you're not gonna be able to control them.
- 51:51SPEAKER_04: No, no way.
- 51:52SPEAKER_04: No, I'm gonna let them run wild films.
- 51:54SPEAKER_04: You know what the best part is?
- 51:55SPEAKER_04: That's gonna get fans through the door.
- 51:57SPEAKER_04: I'm all about drama and entertainment, and I cannot wait.
- 52:01SPEAKER_04: I reckon they're walking out on you, week two.
- 52:03SPEAKER_04: No, no, because I've got 25k to spend on them.
- 52:06SPEAKER_04: I can put them in luxury apartments, I can do anything I want.
- 52:10SPEAKER_05: It's extra money, isn't it?
- 52:11SPEAKER_05: Govers is gonna talk to Zander Vard and be like, yeah, Xander Vard is is is basically on more than the rest of the team combined.
- 52:19SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and yeah, you know what she is.
- 52:22SPEAKER_02: If if that's true, Brendan, I think all my players are sleeping on the street because of Lily Awsley.
- 52:30SPEAKER_04: Jerry Brinkman and Lily Awsley are absolutely lapping it up.
- 52:33SPEAKER_04: Bill, you're giving it full beans, but at the end of the day, you've overspent on quite a few players.
- 52:38SPEAKER_04: I overspent.
- 52:39SPEAKER_02: Underspent and underspent on one.
- 52:43SPEAKER_04: I'm pretty happy with my who've I overspent on.
- 52:46SPEAKER_04: Uh I reckon Granato, I reckon Matler, I reckon Mampre.
- 52:52SPEAKER_04: We all know you can get cheaper.
- 52:54SPEAKER_05: You spend more for forwards.
- 52:56SPEAKER_05: Like you you that's that's just that's just a well-known thing.
- 52:59SPEAKER_04: No, I spent 5k on mine, he and he's got arguably one of the best international games to goals ratio there's ever been.
- 53:06SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you'll you'll yeah.
- 53:08SPEAKER_02: Let's agree that that our team uh that that that that the the format needs some work.
- 53:17SPEAKER_02: Right?
- 53:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah, it definitely needs some work.
- 53:19SPEAKER_02: And we'll can we get in the coop.
- 53:21SPEAKER_02: Yeah, we'll get in the coop.
- 53:22SPEAKER_02: And we'll and next time, hockey focus.
- 53:25SPEAKER_02: Again, we love we love the idea, but we we the players we we need so we need some more players next time.
- 53:33SPEAKER_05: Yeah, and I'll take partial responsibility, but I kind of like that we're blaming it on someone else.
- 53:37SPEAKER_05: So hockey focus.
- 53:38SPEAKER_05: Thanks for the graphic.
- 53:39SPEAKER_05: Um, make sure you have a look uh at home and and tell you tell us who you think has the best team.
- 53:46SPEAKER_05: I don't know if this has been enjoyable, but we are heading straight for our favorite segment, and we're getting to the coop.
- 53:55SPEAKER_02: Oh it's I really need I'm I'm a bit I'm exhausted from this auction.
- 54:02SPEAKER_02: It's been it's been heavy.
- 54:04SPEAKER_02: Luckily, there's the coop who will lift our spirits up and bring the energy back into let's stick together.
- 54:11SPEAKER_02: Brendan, cheer up.
- 54:12SPEAKER_02: Come on.
- 54:14SPEAKER_04: I'm ready.
- 54:14SPEAKER_04: I'm winning.
- 54:15SPEAKER_04: I've won.
- 54:15SPEAKER_04: I've saved 25k.
- 54:16SPEAKER_04: I can't get over how good my dealings have been.
- 54:20SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm I'm a bit, um I gotta be honest, Phil.
- 54:23SPEAKER_02: I'm a little bit on the closet that Brendan won this.
- 54:28SPEAKER_02: Is supposed to go.
- 54:30SPEAKER_05: In my head, he didn't win.
- 54:31SPEAKER_05: He hasn't that okay.
- 54:33SPEAKER_02: Yeah, me.
- 54:34SPEAKER_02: I agree.
- 54:35SPEAKER_02: Brendan didn't win.
- 54:36SPEAKER_02: Okay, would you oh no, that was I wanted to start with now.
- 54:40SPEAKER_02: I'll we'll we'll leave the one I wanted to do, we'll leave it for the end.
- 54:43SPEAKER_02: Um, would you rather have an hour-long warm-up for every training session or play in uh shoes one size too small from now on?
- 54:54SPEAKER_04: I'd take the hour warm-up.
- 54:56SPEAKER_04: I shoes too small is so painful.
- 55:00SPEAKER_04: So painful.
- 55:01SPEAKER_04: I'd take the hour.
- 55:02SPEAKER_04: As much as I hate warm-ups, I'd take the hour.
- 55:05SPEAKER_05: No, yeah, I hate warm-ups out.
- 55:09SPEAKER_02: Scream my fever, yeah.
- 55:11SPEAKER_02: I don't think I just learned how to run like this, like with my with my with my toes tucked in.
- 55:17SPEAKER_02: We had a we had a we had it, we actually had a fun little side story.
- 55:20SPEAKER_02: We actually had like a session, like a QA with Daphne Skippers.
- 55:23SPEAKER_02: I don't know if you guys know her.
- 55:24SPEAKER_02: Yeah, she's like yeah, she's a runner, and she yeah, she's the yeah, from Atlas, she's run.
- 55:29SPEAKER_02: She's a hundred meter and two hundred meter sprint uh phenomenon in Holland.
- 55:33SPEAKER_02: Um she won gold.
- 55:35SPEAKER_02: Uh she's World Cup champion and she won silver in uh Rio, I think.
- 55:40SPEAKER_02: Um, and she said that she does an hour and a half warm-up to only 10 second sprint.
- 55:48SPEAKER_02: Like you in she does an hour and a half warm-up, and yeah, I think every athletic does it.
- 55:54SPEAKER_02: I think what a shitty, shitty job she has.
- 55:57SPEAKER_04: Did um did Matty get her in so you guys would give more of a shit about warm-ups?
- 56:03SPEAKER_04: Was that the reason that she came in?
- 56:04SPEAKER_02: Well, yeah, Maddie was very happy, and he was like looking at us like, oh, you you complaining little fucks?
- 56:10SPEAKER_02: Uh, he was very happy.
- 56:12SPEAKER_02: She told us that, but I was more baffled by the fact that you would do an hour and a half warm-up to only run for 10 seconds.
- 56:18SPEAKER_02: But hey, that's why I'm not in her place.
- 56:23SPEAKER_02: Um yeah, so we agree, it's one size too small, and Brendan does now a warm-up.
- 56:29SPEAKER_05: Yeah.
- 56:30SPEAKER_02: Okay, do you want the hockey one or uh what do we want?
- 56:34SPEAKER_02: I have I have so many loadouts.
- 56:36SPEAKER_02: Hey, you hit us, whichever.
- 56:38SPEAKER_02: Okay, we'll do we'll do we'll see how much we can do.
- 56:40SPEAKER_02: Would you rather be incredibly skillful without any pace or incredibly quick without any skill?
- 56:49SPEAKER_05: I'm very biased with this because I'm one of them, so I'm gonna stick with myself, please.
- 56:54SPEAKER_04: I'd like to have skill, so I I I'm gonna go for the slow and skillful.
- 57:03SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I I thought there would be more discussion in this one.
- 57:06SPEAKER_05: Yes, I yeah, but yeah, but you're just but then you just you're just not very good if you're just fast and you got no skill, are you?
- 57:13SPEAKER_04: I do know what you all I think of when you like when you talk about the slow but skillful is Ash of the EHL and you made him like he doesn't give a shit, but he's still fucking unbelievable.
- 57:24SPEAKER_02: Like that's yeah, but I'm talking, I'm talking like um like worse than Jackson, like like like like slow as shit, like like fet poop through a straw.
- 57:37SPEAKER_05: Yeah, but I still I still think I'm taking that because you just like sit someone down like like and then they just keep running round after you, like yeah, I agree.
- 57:47SPEAKER_02: I think I would go for skillful without yeah, okay.
- 57:50SPEAKER_05: Plus, it's not hard work then either.
- 57:51SPEAKER_04: It's not like you have to or maybe it is that it's hard work for you still to move that slowly, yeah.
- 58:00SPEAKER_05: Fair he was disappointed with himself.
- 58:03SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I thought this would be are they all would you rather, by the way?
- 58:08SPEAKER_02: No, yeah.
- 58:09SPEAKER_02: I have one more would you rather, but which actor would play you in a movie about your life?
- 58:15SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that's a good one, eh?
- 58:17SPEAKER_05: Your Rupert Grint, yours is Rupert Grint, yeah.
- 58:20SPEAKER_02: Who is that?
- 58:21SPEAKER_02: It's Ron.
- 58:21SPEAKER_05: Ron.
- 58:27SPEAKER_02: Uh he was having a bad time.
- 58:29SPEAKER_02: I gave you the idea as well.
- 58:31SPEAKER_02: That's oh Phil, congrats to you.
- 58:33SPEAKER_02: That was the first good joke you've made since I've known you.
- 58:39SPEAKER_02: I'd go Keanu Reeves.
- 58:43SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I thought yeah, I thought Rain Wilson for you, but I'd take Rain, you know.
- 58:51SPEAKER_04: He's actually apparently really intelligent.
- 58:53SPEAKER_02: Yeah, or I thought I was thinking like a more along lines of Tom Hanks for you, and then like uh, you know, the scene in um uh enforced gump when he's like the hobo who's running.
- 59:04SPEAKER_02: I thought that would be good for you.
- 59:10SPEAKER_04: Uh Phil, whoever plays Kanicki from Greece, that's yours.
- 59:15SPEAKER_04: Without fail.
- 59:16SPEAKER_04: Without fail, it's gotta be.
- 59:18SPEAKER_04: Or um or it could be John Travolta, he's got a quiff as well.
- 59:22SPEAKER_05: Yeah, something like that.
- 59:24SPEAKER_05: Who's the kid I like?
- 59:25SPEAKER_05: I really like super bad the film.
- 59:27SPEAKER_05: Who's like either one of the either one of the main actors?
- 59:31SPEAKER_05: I'm I'm having them.
- 59:32SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you could, yeah.
- 59:34SPEAKER_02: Or the guy, you know who actually looks a bit like you is Neil from In Between Us.
- 59:41SPEAKER_02: You kind of look like him, yeah.
- 59:43SPEAKER_02: You're like the slightly the slightly more attractive Neil, than a little less lanky.
- 59:49SPEAKER_02: Yeah, now that I see it, you really look like him, Phil.
- 59:52SPEAKER_03: Just slightly more attractive.
- 59:54SPEAKER_03: You're angry, and that's fine.
- 59:56SPEAKER_03: Okay, moving on, you yeah.
- 59:59SPEAKER_02: I have a good one.
- 1:00:00SPEAKER_02: Would you rather be able or allowed to name the referee anything you want without consequences or change five of their decisions for the rest of your career?
- 1:00:11SPEAKER_05: Well, I feel like you'd use up your decisions really quickly, wouldn't you?
- 1:00:15SPEAKER_05: You'd like to use them all in a game.
- 1:00:17SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I think I think I would I would say to myself before the game, okay, this is not sudden, it's not really an important game, it's just a practice game at OR.
- 1:00:25SPEAKER_02: Don't don't even don't use them, and I would use all five of them in just in sheer emotion.
- 1:00:30SPEAKER_02: So that's why I would go for naming them whatever you can you can yell whatever the fuck you want in them, and they cannot, they can they they'll just laugh at you.
- 1:00:36SPEAKER_02: Haha, you're right.
- 1:00:37SPEAKER_02: I am I am a stupid idiot.
- 1:00:40SPEAKER_02: Like you know what would you first insult?
- 1:00:42SPEAKER_04: Just one referee.
- 1:00:44SPEAKER_04: Sorry, is it are we just saying you can only call one referee whatever you want, or is it any referee?
- 1:00:51SPEAKER_02: Any referee, any game.
- 1:00:53SPEAKER_04: Or okay.
- 1:00:54SPEAKER_02: But like if, but like if if if you if you guys uh play the Olympic final and uh you you you you feel like it wasn't it wasn't a corner or whatever, or it gives a corner and you say no, wasn't it's like oh okay, and it's overturned.
- 1:01:12SPEAKER_04: You know what?
- 1:01:13SPEAKER_04: I'd say I'd take the five decisions.
- 1:01:14SPEAKER_04: I'd take the five decisions.
- 1:01:16SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I'd hold them for a bit.
- 1:01:18SPEAKER_05: Like like like here.
- 1:01:20SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I wouldn't scarce.
- 1:01:22SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I wouldn't be able to hold them, so I think I'm going for the yelling.
- 1:01:25SPEAKER_02: I think that would that would suit me more.
- 1:01:27SPEAKER_02: I think in the long run, long haul, I would benefit more from it because I would be too rash and spend them all like in like an like a like a Broly game.
- 1:01:36SPEAKER_05: I'll tell you what, we're definitely on like the top floor of the coop tonight, aren't we?
- 1:01:41SPEAKER_05: It's like with the fucked up chickens who don't lay any eggs, they're just fucking ongoing mental.
- 1:01:46SPEAKER_03: Yeah, you know what?
- 1:01:47SPEAKER_02: I um um um I I got so worked up with the with the with the draft or with the the the auction that um that I'm also I'm still in my head at the auction, to be honest.
- 1:01:59SPEAKER_02: Like the coop the coop is such a lovely place, but you need to be like all in in the coop, and you can't be like half in.
- 1:02:05SPEAKER_05: Look, look, I mean this is this has been a a pretty crazy Indian auction episode.
- 1:02:13SPEAKER_05: I think we started quite serious.
- 1:02:15SPEAKER_05: Brendan talked about Aaron Matson.
- 1:02:17SPEAKER_05: We talked we talked some uh some hockey, but I can only apologize for what's happened in the last 40 minutes.
- 1:02:22SPEAKER_05: Um, we've had a lot of fun.
- 1:02:25SPEAKER_05: Uh have you guys got any any parting words?
- 1:02:28SPEAKER_05: Brendan's absolutely buzzing with himself.
- 1:02:30SPEAKER_05: I'm kind of annoyed.
- 1:02:31SPEAKER_05: Um that's not the point of this podcast, Brendan.
- 1:02:34SPEAKER_05: Uh but any any parting words?
- 1:02:38SPEAKER_04: Nah, nothing to add from me.
- 1:02:40SPEAKER_04: It's been absolute carnage.
- 1:02:42SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I've I've I've enjoyed this episode, but I don't know if the listeners did, so please let us know if you will.
- 1:02:50SPEAKER_05: Yeah, I mean what we've done is we kind of did a decent pod episode backlash the first one, and then we've just followed it up with absolute shite.
- 1:02:59SPEAKER_05: So I've we've enjoyed ourselves.
- 1:03:02SPEAKER_05: We'll definitely be back for a third uh episode next week.
- 1:03:05SPEAKER_05: Um, thank you again for tuning in.
- 1:03:08SPEAKER_05: See you again next time.
- 1:03:10SPEAKER_04: Cheerio.
- 1:03:13SPEAKER_02: Hey, that's my life.
- 1:03:38SPEAKER_02: Yeah, last one.
- 1:03:39SPEAKER_02: I but it was it was a bit rogue.
- 1:03:41SPEAKER_02: Would you rather have your parents walk in on you having sex or you walk in on them having sex?
- 1:03:46SPEAKER_02: But let's skip that one for the both.
- 1:03:49SPEAKER_02: Um
