With over 900 venues across the UK it doesn't matter where you're based you'll be able to catch the action. Head over to Green King Sport Instagram page and give them a follow at Green King Sport. Now without further ado let's get on with the podcast. Hello welcome to the 1878 FM podcast it is episode 7. Peirdan Davies back. Davies was ruled out last week but he's back. It was a short time I think he's back. Unlike the bus you was gone to Saudi Arabia I think. I think Andy sucked the money in gone. He's gone full Jordan Henderson I think. I think so. He's very much permanently unavailable. Mine was just a week's absence for which I apologise. I had challenging circumstances which prevented me from being here and that's all I'm prepared to say on the matter at the moment. We won't push yet. You're back and it's a step in the right direction. It is a step in the right direction. A big step in the right direction. Maybe several steps in the right direction. 13-14 steps in the right direction. Who knows if you count them. Dave is back. David it is the most joyous episode to be back for so far this season. Everton win. Everton's first victory. It's Ned's birthday. Now we'll go on to Ned's birthday in the random section. Because it won't be more random than Ned's birthday. Exactly and that's random enough. Everton went to the capital and won. It's the first time since Dominic Halvert-Lewin's goal at West Ham United back in 2021. But it was A, an unexpected result I would suggest. And B, a bloody good performance as well from the Blues. I'd agree on both fronts. I didn't fancy it the way at Brentford at all in the current form. Brentford are useful as we know and we don't travel well. I didn't hold out any hope of us picking anything up there. But as you say, it was a great performance. It was a deserved victory. Could have been more even perhaps. A decori not hit the bar. So yeah, I think fully deserved and I think more important than... Listen, the three points are hugely valuable. It's made our position at the table look certainly more respectable than it did before. Because I was starting to get concerned about where the next points were coming from. Seeing as Maureen down there on one point. But I think more than anything else, it's hopefully a big confidence booster. All of them, bar none, needed some confidence in that squad. And hopefully those sort of performances and that kind of result will actually help them hugely going into the games ahead. Which again on paper would look favourable in terms of who we've got up. For the next two in the league and there should be points there. How important do you think that can be with the two games coming up? Because obviously two home games like Dave just said, you'd look at them and we always go six points there. History generally says Evan don't win the two home games. But this would be a great opportunity. This sign for Evan to really move away from the table. Well it takes the pressure off doesn't it? It takes the pressure off Saturday a little bit. Not looking for that first win. And gives us an opportunity. And if we can get that first win on Saturday then obviously it takes all the pressure off again the form of game. Like Dave said then you start to look at the table. You look at the points and you think like this is starting to look better. So people can be a little bit freer to play the games. There's pressure off everyone with everything going on at the football club. So yeah I mean of course it's not ideal waiting six games for your first win. And obviously it came in at a place that I don't think a lot of people thought we were going to get it. So yeah I think it just takes the pressure off. Hopefully it doesn't mean that anyone is complacent of course. Because Saturday is a huge game. But yeah takes that pressure off. I think as well one of the things you've got to look at is that and certainly what I took from the game of the weekend. That's got to be almost a bar I think now for the level of performance and the resilience. Because too many times Everton over in recent history this isn't all on. This isn't just under Sean Dyche. This was here with Frank Lampard and it was here with Rafa Benitez and Carlo to some extent. Everton's resilience levels aren't great. So we can see the goal and you're sitting there thinking there'll be another one along in a minute because it seems to totally and utterly throw us. And at the weekend there was one incident where it might have happened. Just after they'd scored, they nearly scored again. But other than that, Everton controlled it quite well didn't he really? Now I think you're right. I think the resilience was there in this game. And certainly I was watching it thinking that if they had played to that level against Shefford United then they would have undoubtedly won that, which would have been another two valuable points. But yeah, I think they showed what they should be doing week in, week out when you look at the players that we have in that. So I think sometimes it's easy to forget who we've got. And I'm not saying that we've got a sparkling squad, but in the likes of Decouray and people like that, they could players and when he's on his game and as he showed, he took his goal really well. He nearly followed it up with another excellently hit effort minutes later that hit the bar. It could have put the game to bed at that point. And yeah, they were playing in the way that I think they should really be playing in terms of who we have at our disposal on a weekly basis. We still got players to come back from injury. But above all else, I think it's a confidence thing for me. I just felt that as the games went on week in, week out, we were starting to get ourselves into a bit of a tailspin. And it's difficult to see how you get out of that. And if this result hadn't come when it did, you know, you go into the Luton's and the Bournemouths. And as you say, all the pressure's there. Everyone's thinking these are absolute must win games, which they still are by the way. I mean, nothing has changed on that front. They still are must win games because you've got to be getting those points now because there will be tough runs of games coming up. But there would have been so much pressure, I think, heaped on their shoulders that I think a lot of them would have buckled. And so to actually have a little bit of breathing space and a bit of freedom based on what happened last weekend, I think, is crucial going into this run of games. Ped, I mean, a big thing we talked about it obviously on the final word and stuff like that was but having the likes of Dominic Calvertlyw and able to come on for better. So there was no dropping quality. Again, I said it yesterday, you could almost argue it was even a slight upgrade in quality just because of what Dom's done in the Premier. But that's key, isn't it? And then when Jack Harrison's bat, he played 45 minutes last week. When that comes in, as Dave just said there, there are players now who give the manager variations. Yeah, I think we've all spoke about the size of the squad. But at least if we've only got maybe like four subs, say, ready to go subs, then the quality doesn't drop off. And I think with, yeah, I think with Dom and Beto, with Jack Harrison and whoever's playing on the right-hand side, with Dan Duma and Dwight MacNeill, with James Garner. You've got players there, Patterson, sorry as well. James Coleman to come back. Yeah, you've got players there where there's not a lot of drop-off. So that in games like this, you can keep that continuity. You know, you'd rather have a bigger squad with the quality, but at least if you're going to have a smaller squad, make sure that the players coming on have the same kind of quality and can go in and do the similar jobs. And there's not much changing in our approach. And I think Dom coming on for Beto was massive because he just kept that pressure off. When you're thinking early on the season or maybe last season, you're keeping your main striker on for longer, who might then become tired of it. And then if you do swap them, it might be for Mopai or it might be at the Marey Greig. And that is... Ella Sims. Yeah, Ella Sims as well. And you're losing that element of quality, which allows the opposition. And we saw in the Sheffield United game, literally for the last 15 minutes, we were hamstrung because we had Beto, a front who wasn't coming off. We had Dwight McNeill on the right who wasn't fit. And we had Dan Durmer who didn't look like he was capable of playing the last 15 minutes. And that allowed Sheffield United to start getting up the pitch and not causing us loads of danger, but obviously stopping us from causing them danger. So, I think in this game, it allows us to just keep our foot on the puzzle. Absolutely. And Dave, that's something we've seen from other clubs who may be not as... you'd say, way as good as Everton, team-wise over the last couple of years. But what they did have is a level of play that were all similar skillset, if you like. So, even though we might say our best eleven is way better than this, if our best eleven is tired after 65 minutes and then, like Pett said, the options off the bench aren't great. Other teams were able... One sticks out to me last season at home, which was Wolves on Boxing Day. They made five changes and all five of them, you go. They could actually get in their first eleven. And that then changes won the game for them. We have to do that, don't we? Even though, like Pett said, we haven't got a huge squad. If we can get kind of like 14 or 15 players who we think could all play in our first team, when we're making them changes, there won't be a drop really, will there in quality? Competition for places is so important. And I think that you could see that, by the way, that Dominic bounced onto the pitch when he came on. I think it's really, really important that, rather than him coming on as the only real striking option, which is what we've had before, he's coming on for Beto. And he knows that it's not just him there. He knows that actually Beto could get a decent run in the team and actually keep Dominic out if things went slightly differently. So he's got to come on there. He's got to prove it. And I would imagine from Dominic's point of view, he's coming on kind of thinking, all well and good, but I'm the one with the Premier League experience. I'm the one that's been here longer. I'm the one with the goals tally. And actually it's given him something to fight for. I'm not saying that he wasn't fighting before and don't get me wrong, and I'm not criticising Dominic's attitude previously, but I think that there was a healthy bounce about him when he came on the other day. And I think that a lot of that you can put down to, you know, the fact that Beto is there and that they both need to be using the other one to spur each other on. And as you say, you know, with regards to the Wolves example as well, it is its competition for players in all positions and just hopefully a happier, buoyant squad. And winning games of football makes that a lot easier. Is there a risk of trotting out another overused cliché? It does though. I think players like competition as well or no. You know, you've got players, certain players who want to know they're playing all the time and they relax then and do that. But players like competition because, hey, if you look around the squad and see better plays in your squad, that makes you feel your part is something better. You know, we're trying to improve all the time and it gives you that edge because it's like anything at work, isn't it? Wherever your job you're doing, after a while, you do go through the motions it's human nature and then if someone comes in who might be, not after your job, but someone comes in and all of a sudden the spotlight's kind of on them as well, that picks your game up a little bit. You want to prove it and don't. I think you've right, don, bounced on to the pits the other day. Looking the best. See in his face. Exactly, just look the term and ready to go and he come on and it was amazing how quickly he got it. Because sometimes we've all played 40 when you're in a show, but sometimes it's really difficult to get up to the speed of the game. He was on it immediately. Because he knew that he had to be. That was the thing. He knew he had to be. He had something to prove and as I say, whether that was an intentional state of mind that he came on with or just, I suspect it was more kind of just in built. I think that he read the situation. He knew he had to come on. He knew that he had to at least match what Beto had done, if not more. He did that and he got his goal and job done. I think the body language when he came on, the body language when he scored as well. He made reference to obviously the fans who had booed him and criticised him in the past. He wasn't going to let that go. I mean quite rightly, I think to be fair. Let's hopefully see this as a turning point in the season early on in the season. We just need some more of those. If we can get, I mean listen, we should be getting six points on the next two games, but if we can get four points on the next two games, then our position will look dramatically better. I'm paired just before we go on. From that it is spite, isn't it? Now those two games, it will be difficult to feel both come with different challenges, but we must be quite lively. Luton have got their first point of the season as well, so they might feel better about themselves but from my event and perspective, even putting the cup game against Phil, it's on one side because it's slightly different. We've got to at least this weekend take the three points and follow up that away win with a home win. When you do that, you feel quite good. Absolutely, we've got to get three points this weekend. It's a team that we should be beating. People have beaten and have to beat them to put that daylight between us and them, even this early on. So pick a day of the games at home, you've got to win. You've got to, you've got to. Absolutely. Dave, just quickly then. Villar away in the cup. Obviously recording this before we've gone there to tough game, isn't it? How high is it on your priority list at the moment? This cup. Not particularly high to be honest with you. I mean, I think, I mean, you know, I like to support all cup competitions and I think that silverware is good. But I think the situation that we find ourselves in now, you know, we're not really in a position to be enjoying a little sideline cup run. Yes, of course, I would like them to do well tomorrow night. But if they don't, I don't really care. I'm just more focused on Luton and Bourne coming up an actual points on the board, because that's all that's really important after the last two seasons. That's where our priority has to go. For us, every win has got to be converted into points rather than anything else. It's going to be tough going to Villar away. You know, they're a good side under Emory. They really are. And that, you know, in many ways, similar club to us, we've always said that. And I think somebody pointed out a few weeks ago that they were sort of drawing the parallels in terms of the fact that, you know, Villar are going one way and we're very much going another way, which isn't good. So, you know, it'd be good to make a good show of ourselves at Villar Park. But as I say, if we get nothing from it, I won't be losing any sleep. I'm pet gone and you can have the last word with that. And when Dave camped to be honest, I'd love us to win. And I think if we won and then got a favourable home, so you can't start going and say, you are, we could be in the quarters here. But if ever and where to be knocked out, it'll air because I don't like us losing friendly matches. But the focus for me is still holding on the two home games a little bit more. It is, but I think it's a really good time for this game because I think we've got those players coming back who we can get a look at and can give some game time to and mix it up a little bit and you can get a little look at those players. Maybe James Garn and Midfield might start down. Jack Harrison might come off the bench. Dan Jume. So there's a real good opportunity to see some of those players we've just spoken about that could come into this one. So of course, want to win the game. But you know, the focus for me again is on Saturday. Obviously we're all desperate to win a trophy, but I do understand what Dave's saying. It's about steadying the shift just right now. But for Willard, they're in bad. Four games in nine days for them. They might have kids playing for all me. They might feel the same. I know there's a little bit of anger from the fans for this game because of the prices. There's been a bit of a boycott. So it could be. Everything could happen for me. And then that's just a confidence. But I hope we don't want, I think what Dave's saying, don't want to stretch yourself too far. I wouldn't want to see players getting injured for a win tonight. So there's tomorrow. Well, yeah. It depends what country it is. It depends on when you're watching it, doesn't it? I mean, it could be last week. You know, you might be catching up. Happy Christmas anyway. Yeah, well done. Yeah, well done. Moving on then, moving on from that joviality and the joyous chatting. How dare you enjoy yourself? It's amazing. Now it is amazing. This is another joyous moment. Ned, it's his birthday today. It's his birthday. He's a happy... He's a man now, 23. He's a man. He's had his 21st, and he's had his year of, you know... The poetry. Yeah. Well, sort of. The poetry with food and stuff. And now he's 23. So we expect to see a moment sure. You know, what are you thinking about, Ned? At 23. What do you want to see? We've talked about what you want to see from Evan and the squad players. What do you want to see from Ned? I'd like to see a wife by the end of the year. That, I mean that. What are you going to say by the end of the show? Well, you know. He's online. I'd like to have a new car by the end of the year. I'd like to... I think his mum would like him out of the house. I think so. Wife or no wife. It could be a show. Your mum, my Ned. What about that? We could pitch that to Channel 5. I think Channel 5 would be all of that. I think so. Yeah. Mario mum off to Ned. To Ned. To be a list. To copy a list. To be a register, I think. It's definitely a register. It's always a register. Could be anything. I mean Dave, Judy, man be your 23rd birthday in ancler focus or is it just a blur? I'm trying to think where I was in life. So I was 23 in 1997. Terrible season for Evan. Terrible season for Evan. Awful season. Yeah, 1997. So I had just started working at Radio 1. But I think it was my first birthday, actually, having joined Radio 1. You were there at 1? How young did they take them? I joined there December 96, age 22. So yeah, it was my first birthday there. So I suppose, yeah, it was quite an exciting time really. And I do actually, funny enough, I do look back at the age of 23. And I have said before that that is a really good age, not just because it's your 23rd today, Ned, but it is a really good age because you're past your 18s and your 21s. You're young enough, you know a little bit about the world. And we must stress it's only a little bit. A little bit, but you're still quite bulletproof and quite excited about life. So yeah, I think 23 is a good age. And so for that, Ned, I would wish you many happy returns today and all the very best for your 23rd year ahead. When I was 23. Oh my God, that sounded like a sonata of Scotland. When I was 23. Basically a month. I started going grey. I wasn't then ever, but all I was going to say a month after I was 23, ever, money I fake up. There you go. There you go, Ned. So, you know, a month after your 23 ever might have won a home game. It's sad because I didn't... I didn't watch the game on Saturday. Why can't I have just mumble it? And we know what you're birthday and we're trying to be nice to you. But you're not in the podcast? When you were 23. When you were 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. 23. I was sliding slide real passers-through to the likes of Ryzynski. Great times. I liked Ryzynski. That's fine. He got off to follow me, thought follow him with a bigger club, he said. No, I know, I know, I know. But you know, I quite liked him as a player. Here's another one where we're talking about random expletives. Here's one that you perhaps won't agree with. I quite liked Kevin Morales as well. No, I like Kevin Morales. He just ended badly with him, but he was good. I used to enjoy seeing him come on because I thought he had something natural about him, you know, and could change again. Don't you think the decline of Everton Football Club started when Kevin Morales took the ball off Leighton Baines? Against West Bromwell. If you were in the crowd, you were also in the Rocky film. In the Rocky film, yeah. And then Miss Creed. Missed the penalty, cos he wanted to have a message for one of their friends who he'd died, didn't he? On his shirt, and he wanted to score and showed the message, and missed the penalty. That's where the decline can be traced back to. There, and the had your case is more real. I think it started there. I think it actually started there. Well, it was Roberto Martinez's decline. That's where that started. Great times. We didn't expect to do it. We didn't expect to do it. An ex-Everton player, random Leighton's and Ned's. That's a great sign. It's a great sign. I scored a couple of great goals at the base. It was a 2-2 draw. The other one, we lost to one, but he scored a well. We played Wolfsburg away, and I believe I was there, and he scored the second goal. It was fantastic. Everton was super that night though. I imagine Everton being in Europe going away against the Kevin de Bruyne team, and absolutely batting them. Halcyon, the Halcyon days. The Halcyon days. Got a couple of random questions. I asked, right? I said random questions. When we asked the plenty of members. So, non-football. First question. Are there any plans to support infrastructure around the new stadium or match days? Sorry, that is not a question for this show. Is that not a council question? It is. I'll be honest, Alan. Thank you for your question. I'll be honest, we don't make infrastructure decisions on this podcast. You don't plan them either? No. Derek's what's the strangest piece of football memorabilia. You've got, again, ignoring the random football. He said strangest, hasn't he? We'll have that. OK, so go on, Peth. You're a football memorabilia. I'll tell you what I have got. I don't know whether this is strange. I just think it's quite unique. I've got the blueprints for Finch Farm. Nice. There's ghostly images of Tim Cail, Ar Teta, and Andy Johnson on it. OK. It was like a special print that the people who built it did. I don't think many people have got that. I would have to guess that almost nobody has got that. I suggest you've got it. I'm the one who's got it. It's got weird ghostly images in the background of a couple of three players in particular. And I don't think anyone else has got that. So that's quite unique. Unique is the word. Unique is very much the word. I've got a Afcon winners medal in my house. I'm pretty sure it's Daniel Llamacati's or one of them. I don't know why I've ended up with that. I'm Robbie Fowler's boots. I think, again, it's Pumas that he's worn in the Premier League. Again, I don't understand why I've got them. Is this one just to be a big bag of swag? Yeah, yeah, yeah, basically. Well, that was a shit. And when I took it back, they were like... Just keep it. So it's in my loft somewhere so I need to dig it out because it can come in here. You could sell that. Robbie Fowler's boots, yeah, yeah. The lovely boots. Pumas Kings, they're very nice. Watch yours, Dave. It's already featured on this podcast before, but it's obviously Liam Osman's training shorts. Oh, yeah. Which I still wear to run into this day. It's impressive that, A, you still fit in them. B, you still run them. I mean, don't, you know, don't be careful about steps, you know. And also, you know, Liam, fair play thing. You're keeping the Liam, the Leonard Osman legend alive. Also, I mean, are the umbro shorts? Yeah, I think so. I'm going to go and get them again. It's going. The durability though. What's going to say? The durability. Something about the quality and the craftsmanship of the shorts. Will that listen umbro a renown for quality and craftsmanship? I think. Or I think certainly that's what they led you to believe. Well, if they weren't, they aren't... I'll be honest. I've got a pair of... I've got a pair of Duncan Ferguson's blue Everton's shorts from 1990. Man, you like the game, right? When he scored two. I've got those shorts. You should bring them in. Give them to me because they wouldn't fit you. No. Go on round the house kind of shorts. Go ahead, Dave. Let's have a look. There they are. 21. Leonard's num. They're just the quality of the shorts. Quality of the shorts. Fair play. I don't make them like they are anymore. They're thin and hardy. Incredible. There you go. Fucking football memorabilia. I don't think anyone's beaten an African nation's medal. I know. It is weird. It was actually on sale I was thinking. This is weird. What year is it from? 90 something. It's Nigeria. It's Nigeria. When Nigeria, buddy. There you go. I don't know. 1995. I'm a fatty plate for us, didn't I? So I don't know. 1995, 1996. Does he know you've got his ACOM medal? I think he probably had about four. I think he's went up and took loads. He had a lot of them. You know Colin who's normally here. He'll take his forum and he'll just never give it to him. Mark says, this is random. You're on the run from the police. Where are you hiding in this country and who would be your first call to help you? Interest on one. Shouldn't really call anyone, should you? You shouldn't. It's not a phone. It isn't millionaire. You shouldn't be phoning a friend, really. Because you're bringing them into. Exactly. You're making them part of it. I mean, where would you go? I'm sure Radio One would have done this, Dave, when you were there, some kind of thing like this. Surely. They've done a hide-and-seek thing, but it's more recent than our time. They did one a few years ago, and they had Greg James and Nick Grimshaw and stuff like hiding. But I think of the, I often, there's a programme called Hunter's, which I'm sure you're aware of, which is good for making you think about stuff like this. So, if we sort of mould the question round in terms of how you would negotiate Hunter, for example, which is kind of the same thing, is that because you've got AMPR everywhere and you've got CCTV and bus stations and everywhere on the street and at cash machines and whatever, I've always thought, surely, the way to do this, and it wouldn't be great telly, and this is probably why you're not allowed to do it, because it's probably slightly manipulated, one would imagine. That's certainly not the thoughts of me as a whole, but the thing is that I would probably just go to my friend's house next door and just go and try and spend two weeks in their, you know, in their spare room, upstairs, on the basis that I'd kind of go, right, listen, I'm just going to stay here. In fact, to be honest with you, it's not really any different to when I had to isolate the Omicron version of Covid, because I spent 10 days in this very room here and I didn't go anywhere, right? So it's the same kind of policy whereby if I was staying with you, let's suppose that we're next door neighbours and I'm on this show called Hunted and so I think, right, ready, steady go, all these people go legging off with their backpacks into the city centre and they get spotted on this camera and that camera and the train and whatever. I would just stroll around to yours, right, with a few changes of clothes. And a baseball cap, surely? Everyone, baseball cap, people don't see it. But you don't need it indoors for you because no one's going to be there. No, what, if you're strolling round to his house, you're going off there. Okay, fine, but it's hopefully not very far. We come round to yours and I say, right, I'm going to be here for a couple of weeks time. All I need you to do is can you just get me whatever I need in terms of the basics, whatever, you know, food, shower gel, deodorant, toothpaste, whatever it is. And at the end of the two week period, just give me a bill and then I will just transfer that money to you, all good. No one's had a check on any of my out goings and my credit card or anything and I've loved it. Would it help if I lived in a bungalow? No, I think that would actually be a downside because I think that if you're in a bungalow, I would be on ground level, therefore potential hunters could see me through the windows. Whereas the reality is that if I was upstairs, they're less likely to see it unless a stepladder's involved. I was just thinking of you, Dave. How do you mean? Oh, sorry. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm with you. Fair enough. There you go. Yeah. Where would you go then, Pet? If Dave's doing it. Dave's come up with it. I think it's quite a good one. It's not good telly. It's a way to crack the show, I think. Say it's not good telly, but didn't that fellow, the canoeist, basically just like next up? Exactly. He did. Didn't he? He was dead. What a show. What a programme that was. It's not real life. No, well, no. But I'm saying when you watch, like the actual thing. That wasn't as good. That was good, but it was just mad because the footage of the interviews the police were giving at the time when he'd gone out to sea. The chief of police, or one of the leading investigators said, people are saying he's done a red deep head but it's nonsense. He's done it and he's literally done it. He literally was just living where he was. Do you know what, Dave? I'd buy into it. I'd go to somewhere in Cornwall and grow a nice beard and get a nice jumper fisherman's jumper and just stroll around and be part of the community. Do you have a hat on? You'd have to change it slightly because you are quite... I don't think I'm big in Cornwall. You're a certain size with that. Have you been to Cornwall? When you say big in Cornwall, do you mean in terms of your status as one of the country's leading podcast house and media personalities? Or do you mean big in terms of your size in comparison with, say, an average Cornish fisherman? Are you saying Cornish fisherman or my size? I'm saying both, to be honest. I'm saying both. No, Cornwall is probably renowned for having big, freakish people. Hairy people. Very isolated. It's practically its own thing. Fair play. Devin knows how good Devin knows is. There you go. It's an interesting concept, isn't it? Where would you go? Where would you hide? Where would you go? Where would you go Barry? I'm a cat he's loved. Yeah, basically. Give him his Afcom medal back. Wales or Scotland, I think. You're always recognised in Wales. Not in Scotland. I mean, I don't know because I've been there. Scotland's vast though, isn't it? It's getting there though. You've got to get through all those things. I go to St Allen's, forget it. You'd be able to hide in St Allen's. I've got the technology. No, no. I mean, when we crack a joke with Ned, he doesn't get it till about 20 minutes later. So, therefore, I reckon you could get a couple of weeks out of it before someone in St Allen's went. Not from round there, are you? Absolutely. I don't think the hot on, you're not round from round here. Yeah, a caravan in St Allen's. Pachent. It's an interesting thing. It'd be difficult. And yet, it calling people is not... It can't be bringing other people on to it. Alexander Hoffle, Susan's brother, says, if you were a vegetable, what vegetable would you be and why? I think I'd be a potato because I just think in terms of a vegetable, it's a proper or rounder, isn't it? It's fair society. You can do everything the potato. There's not many vegetables that are as useful and as robust, certainly to our national cuisine, as a potato. So, I think that would be me. You know, sort of very much in every man type of vegetable. Vegetable of the people, I'd say, Dave. I'd say, yeah. That's what Dave represents to me. I mean, what about you? Spudwyn, Leon, Osmond Shorts. That's what Dave is talking about. Why not? Is an aubergine a vegetable? Yeah. Yeah, it must be. Well, I mean... I mean, why not? You have been called. I just like being everyone's favourite emoji. That's all there is. I said everyone's favourite emoji. It's up there. It's up there. Fair play to you. Fair play to you. I'd be broccoli. Would you? Good for you. Full of free radicals. Iron. Iron good for you. Iron. Feels brittle. You say brittle, but I think about the goodness I'm putting in you. Very... That's what might one was. There you go. I think about the goodness I'm putting in you. Is that... I'm just saying that's that. You take it anywhere you want them. Again. All fits in my pet. Great song. There you go. Think about the goodness I'm putting in you. There you go, shall we man? Continue profile, isn't it? Exactly. I mean, a Ned. You know, 23 now might be on the Tender. He's been on the Tender for ages. He's been on the Tender for ages. He's still lucky, I suppose, on the Tender. What it's there for doesn't actually work for Ned. No. What about this one? Because me and Ned were talking about this. This isn't funny. But me and Ned were screaming... Hang on, this isn't... Without going anywhere near it. This isn't harking back to the pre-recording conversation that you had. Because that wasn't funny? No, no, no. There was one before that. There was one before that. It's not funny. This isn't funny in any way. Why are you talking about it? Because it's just... You know, as someone who has frequented Florida... Yeah, sorry. I was wondering where you were going for that. There's a new story of an alligator walking down the road. With a human remains in its mouth. A 13-foot alligator was found walking along with a woman's remains in its mouth. 20 miles off west of Tampa. They've obviously sorted the alligator out. Because it was just one, you know, one ddringle on the road. You drove it home? When you say sorted it out in what respect... The few mainly ended it, essentially. All right. Permanently. You know, what did I... Permanently. It won't be carrying any more human remains in its mouth. Yeah, it's dead. I mean, I think we get the point. It's dead. Do you think it was just showing people? Going with this? Well, what I'm thinking was Ned's nest, which is the biggest animal you could fight. Right? And then he said he could take an alligator. No, he couldn't take a 13-foot alligator. He couldn't take a 13-foot alligator. I said he couldn't take a 13-foot alligator. He said all you'd have to do is get on its back and put your arm round its neck. How are you getting on its back? Literally, my thing was like... Well, from behind. I think the best approach is always from behind. Well, you've got to take it from behind. Right? Now, Ned's doing actions like he's jumping on it almost like a roll. Now, alligators and crocord, that's a famous for a roll. Quite famous for a roll. They are famous for rolls, death rolls, the cold. I don't... Yeah, but that's only in a water-based scenario. I don't think they can do a death roll on land. What if he tried, don't they? Would you like to try it with the eyeballs? The concrete? No, I wouldn't. But I'm pretty sure the alligators and crocodiles can't look behind them without the aid of an elaborate system of mirrors. I don't think they can do it. I don't think they can do any of that, which means that Ped could be onto something here, because if he was... Ned, not Ped. Sorry, Ned. Ped's not that mad. I always get them mixed up. Yeah. But if Ned was to approach quietly and stealthily from behind, I think that he would have a chance of actually getting into that position where he is on top of it and able to restrain it in the manner in which he suggests. Couldn't be first now. I see that. You know, I haven't worked with Ned for a number of years now. I still doubt that he will be able to do that. It is likely that he will be wearing someone else's shoes. Well Crocs. Crocs, Crocs, Crocs! Crocs! It would be quite ironic. It would be quite ironic, wouldn't it? That he's wearing Crocs. Ah, Crocs. Yeah, and they'd be a noise because they didn't quite fit. It squeaked. And that would give the game away and I think he... You'll have a squeezee on, Thomas Crocs. You're having a time... You've seen dangerous animals elaborate, please, into the microphone. ymlaen. Mae'n cael ei ddweud eich bod yn ymdod yn ymddyl. Gwell, mae'n gweithio ddim yn rhoi'n gweithio'n gweithio'n llwy ffordd, a mae'n 23. Gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio, ac mae'n 0-23. Mae'n gweithio'n gweithio'n gweithio, ond mae yn disgwylio'n gweithio. Mae'n meddwl am y ddechrau i'n gweithio i'r ddweud i'r llwyngau gyda'i ddechrau a'r sgwrthflwng. r sewing is to you were both of you being unusually nice and unusually kind to Ned today. And now that I realised its his special day, it does make a lot more sense. So in that respect again, Ned on behalf of myself and Peter and Barry, we just like to wish you all the very best and many many happy returns. I bring him a cake and a $30 but a big 30 milk bar because he is getting it big time. Felly hynny yn gynllun hwynt ar y bod yn cyd-rhyw yw'r dyfodol sydd iawn. Felly hwnnw'n dych chi'n aelod. Felly e'w cilio cyllidau alywodd o'n mwy adeilad a'r cyhoedd. Mae gandd-dweithi'n ddim esemdd o'n cael ei hoffa, yn fawr o'n tro ar-dryniant. Felly yw'r ddechrau, Ndo'n hoffa! Mae angen ydi i'n cilio ar-dryniant! Felly yw'n hoffa, wrth gwrs, at yng Nghymweith, sy'n roi'n gofyn yn digwyddio mewn fitr. I hope that kills us so Barry, so I hope that kills us! As Evie Tounians, we know that don't we Sam? What a great way to fit. What were you saying before we finished? You could easily train a shark. You could easily train a shark, fair play to you. I can't disprove that theory because you were not. I haven't got a shark in here for you to train. I'm not sure sharks can be trained by anyone. A madsion no, just a madsion. Right, if Ned had the six sense,厦on drosio gydeunydd. The facility to be able to train shark. I'll be honest, I think, I think there's only one way we can find out if that works. And so, you know, let's see we can set that up. That's a channel 5 show, if ever a show. Yeah, Ned versus Shark, Shark Week. Shark and Discovery Channel. Fair play. It's a really short series. One episode. Ned versus shark. A really short episode, yna. Dyma dyma. Mae yna gwrdd. Yn dweud y nesaf yn yw'r ffyrdd. Yn y dweud. Yn y dweud. Dyma yna. Mae yna'n cael ei ddweud. Mae'n fawr ydw i'w wneud ychydig. Mae'r gwaith ei ychydig. Mae'n ddweud o'r hyn yn fawr i hefyd. Mae'n ddweud o'n gwneud. Mae'n ddweud o'r ffyrdd. Mae yna'n ddweud o'n ddweud o'n gwneud. i'w ddechrau'r cyfraffaeth. Felly mae'r gwaith yw'r cyfraffaeth. A gwybod yn ymgyrch yn ymgyrch. Yma.
