1:37On the show today, Ivan Toney is scrapping in nightclubs. England's ashes flops are chucking cash at Aussie children. And why 70s hit YMCA is not a gay song. Hello, JP. Hello, Zach. Buongiorno. Hello, Jack. How you doing? Good, mate. Good. You? Yeah, good. Actually, before we begin, I would like to invite members of the video producing community to apply for a role at The Upshot. We're hiring. Whoa. And we're hiring a video producer. So if you want to come and work on the pod, if you want to come and make banger reels for TikTok and Insta on the podcast that was featured on the BBC last week, we won an award not that long ago.

2:20Boom. Not that we care about those. Shit about awards. Yeah, come and work with us on the pod. I'll put a link to the job ad in the show notes with all the details there. But yeah, we're looking to hire ASAP. So, you know, this is a job for somebody who's pretty early in their career, but who is very good at what they do and very passionate at what we do. Good vibes as well. It's a nice... We have a good time at the office. Do we? We're already in one day a week. Yeah, I know. Maybe if you got in earlier. So yeah, I'll put details in the show notes. Thanks a lot for that. Speaking of good office vibes, it's Christmas party season obviously which you know back in the noughties this would be feeding time at the zoo for scummy hacks like us hovering outside the footballers Christmas parties but sadly the days of dwarf tossing and strippers are long gone although Al Halal and England striker Ivan Toni did inject a bit of scandal to the Yuletide season last weekend so he was back in London for a little festive soiree with some of his mates and they ended up at 100 Wardle Street which is this swanky nightclub in Soho I've never been it's like a modern day China White is it yeah you frequented it's not far from my office yeah you're running running a list there on Tuesday if you want guest list I'll sort you out yeah lovely stuff you me and Ivan I don't know if I would want to run into to the big man in there though because last I think it was Friday night early hours 2 a.m um a fan spotted him in there and put his arm around Ivan's shoulder to take a selfie which you know you think that's a probably fairly uh daily occurrence for someone like him but ivan's first thought was that the bloke was trying to nab this expensive necklace that he was wearing big bit of bling yeah and he reacted by shoving the guy off and headbutting him in the face broke his nose so the guy ended up being carted off in an ambulance blood streaming from his face had a broken finger apparently as well so it's quite quite nasty why because I don't know.

4:25I think apparently I read that it was his ring finger or something. Oh, unless he's tried. Maybe the finger was under the necklace. Anyway, police arrived about 20 minutes later. And there's a video of them leading Tony out of the club in cuffs. And my first thought on this is this is so guy that has moved to Saudi and now thinks that London is some crime riddled cesspit. He's in his safe sanctuary in Saudi. Yeah, you know, it's such a thing. Like, these people who moved to Dubai or somewhere like that and are just obsessed. I think they spent too much time watching Tommy Robinson TikToks and think that as soon as you step out of your door in London, you're accosted by some zombie knife-wielding heroin trafficker.

5:08Yeah, phone snatcher. Was he reckoned he thought the guy was trying to rob him? Yeah, I mean, his mind instantly went to that. It's like, yeah, he's just watching all these phone-snatching TikToks and someone puts his arm around him to get a selfie. someone's like sorry mate you have the top go away from me pepper sprays out i guess if you're with your your mates like your christmas do and he's come home and there's people like going mentally i'm trying to take photographs and selfies you do you could get annoyed it must be annoying it is annoying yeah i do get i think the headbutt is a bit ott yeah i prefer that explanation terrified that london has fallen bruv yeah but you do see a lot of footballers saying that right George O'Shelvi did that big interview being like I wouldn't raise my kids in London yeah I don't know they always annoy me those videos I think he's been watching the ones that are literally like you know when they're like London in 2100 and it's like a guy comes down Oxford Street on a camel and like gets off and just squats and shits in the middle of the street like the AI ones obviously

6:16yeah I don't they annoy me so much those videos because he's honestly fine there was a bit of a phone-stacking epidemic but as long as you're not walking around with a fucking 200 grand Rolex on your wrist which he probably was which is probably what made him prang out so is Ivan Tony a bit of a hot head? he's had a few quite weird video moments over his career, do you remember when there was that video of him on holiday in Dubai and they got him while he was at Brentford he started going fuck Brentford and everyone was like what am I doing this and then there was also he once got stopped there's a bit of a theme forming here with the like Dubai thing he got stopped but you know those guys who pull people over and they're like hey you got a really nice car like what do you do for a living have you seen that one yeah like the insta real thing yeah and then they were like what crypto are you buying he was like all the big ones and at some point they were like who do you play for because he said he was a footballer and he was like no one good I was like why do you keep slagging Brentford off yeah why do you keep popping up yeah so what's hang on is he in trouble is he getting done for assault?

7:21I don't actually know what's he was led away in cuff so I assume I guess his position will be self defence yeah it doesn't sound like headbutt's not really a self defence move the guy's just like a Brentford fan he won't be able to smell his Christmas dinner now there was another explanation doing the rounds on Twitter of someone who says that their I think it was their mate was the one that got headbutted and someone asks him on Twitter like how come it all kicked off and he replied ask him for betting tips for the weekend I mean it is which might be a joke I mean that might be a joke that he actually said to him to like try and calm him down or something like that that's not going to calm him down that's not going to calm old Ivan Tony down because it is quite easy to see how people were being fucking annoying yeah you know what I mean it must be annoying being asked for selfies all the time well you wait lads wait till after the live shows and also just getting like taunted all the time yeah especially if you're like with your mates at your Christmas do yeah you know there is a certain There's a certain amount of privacy that people should respect, but you shouldn't get headbutted for it.

8:22Actually, speaking of getting taunted all the time, the England cricketers are having a rough old time down under. They got spanked once again. Not been very good, has it? There is a good story during the rounds about them, though, away from the pitch, about Brydon Kars, the England bowler, who he's on the Ashes tour. He's not playing very well, particularly. And off the pitch, he had a very embarrassing incident. So this comes from Cameron Ponsonby, who writes for Cricket et al. He said that following England's first defeat in Perth, Cass, along with Harry Brook and Zach Crawley, went for brunch at a Riverside cafe.

8:57For whatever reason, Cass had thousands of dollars of cash in his pocket that fell out and blew across the local area. A scene from a cartoon, it took a community effort of mums, children and flat white drinkers to gather the notes and return them to the table of wealthy cricketers. I mean, first things first, if someone did that, I definitely wouldn't be running back to give them the cash back. I mean, I've gone, mate. I think Ivan Tony would see that and be like, see, this is why I don't live in London. If that happened in London, they'd be gone. He's probably right. Why is he walking around with thousands of dollars in cash?

9:30Two possible explanations, I think. One is that he's like about to spend a lot of money on something. Been to a casino, maybe? Yeah, like something a bit seedy. Yeah. which like I don't know looking at him I can kind of see that I'm sure he's quite like tats I like that he's quite like boohoo man dress like necklace out a few tats I can sort of see it for him alternatively he's an absolute like tourist who's taken his mum's advice don't use those cash machines abroad they'll swallow your card they don't do ATMs in Australia he's taken all his traveller's checks to the post office he's got all his money for the whole trip in a bum bag that never leaves his He sleeps in.

10:11He's definitely, he's printed off his boarding pass and he keeps in a little plastic wallet. A little plastic wallet. Yeah, with the itinerary. Never leaves anywhere without a photocopy of his passport. His mum sewed his name into his pants. She leaves his wine stay in a room without a safe.

10:31Yeah. I actually think it is probably that. Yeah. Yeah. That strand of explanation. Because I don't think they... Don't get done by the exchange rates of the airport. Get it out here Yeah I can kind of see it But yeah It sounds like the friendliest exchange Any of the England players have had The whole time they've been there Like everyone was very helpful Really? Well it sounds like he did it In a real sort of Yummy mummy cafe Yeah And he got his dollars back Oh my dollars They've been getting harassed Everywhere they go They've obviously been They've been having a lovely time It sounds like I mean they've had a lot of time off Well yeah Because obviously they lost The first two games And everyone was like You haven't played any practices Like do you think you Should have done more And the coach goes If anything I think we overprepared.

11:11And now they fucked off. Having lost two games, I'd say three or four players are fighting for their careers. And so, you know, naturally the next move is to go bodyboarding on the Queensland coast, which is where they are at the moment. Sometimes you need some time to switch off. But they're getting harassed there as well. I do feel a bit bad for them. So yeah, like they were on the beach and these guys came over with signs saying stuff like Baz Ballers, Anonymous, Free Counseling. Fucking hell. So I'll tell you who else is getting some shit. Luke Littler. So he wrangled himself a ticket for the game against Wolves on Monday night.

11:44He put a message out on his Instagram asking if anyone had any spares. But it turns out sportswear giant Adidas pulled through for some tickets for him and his mates. So he got one. He did get one. Are people giving him shit because he's managed to get... It was an away game as well. It was an away game and there was a lot of demand for the tickets. And it was his first away game, I should say. We've got a photo of him up here, him and the Green Street Elite having their away day. Apparently one of the blokes next to him is Man United's head of fan engagement. That's right. And I think it's all sort of spiralled and kicked off.

12:19So United fans are not happy about the way he's gone about to get the tickets because there is such huge demand at the moment for the tickets. You have to have a season ticket for three years before you can enter the ballot. Right. And the club are currently having a major crackdown on where the tickets are going and are concerned about a significant infiltration of touts. And they'll come on to this, going on to sell these at a vast profit to certain sections of the fans. So the supporters are dubious about the club's intentions and obviously they feel like normal fans are being squeezed out.

12:53You know, Luke Littler is a bit of a man of the people, but he's still a high profile celeb. He is a big United fan, to be fair. It's not like they're dishing them out to Ariana Grande. He did put in his post, will pay overpaid value. essentially tout we'll pay dynamic we'll pay celebrate and he was actually going under the radar all game until James Madison picked him out at half time so I'm sure he's like fuming at James Madison now all of this could be a coincidence or bad timing but one man who definitely was not at the game was Man United legend Nicky Butt so Nicky's currently doing a podcast with Paul Scholes and Paddy McGuinness I won't give you the name of the podcast because the only podcast you should listen to is the upshot.

13:36But there are some interesting revelations in there. So topics that I've been listening to are ranging from what is in figs. Figs? Figs. They did 10 minutes on that. The fruit, the fruit, isn't it? It's wasps. Jesus. That's how figs are. Fountain of knowledge. Figs are like wasps go in them to die. And then that's how a fig is made. Really? Is that why they're that bit like sort of bitty? Yeah. Yeah. A fig wasp they call it. Wow. Never heard the Spice Girls' biggest hit. It does now our figs are made. Make it that what you will. Nicky Butt went into a five-minute monologue about what happens when Wales die, which was proper blockbuster stuff.

14:18But I should say there is some football in there too. So it turns out even Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes are feeling the effects of Sir Jim's new policies. So both of them are having trouble getting older tickets at the moment. Paul has admitted that he is currently using a towel to get extra tickets to games for his mates I mean fair enough Paul Scholes they were saying back in the day he used to get tickets for his mates yeah I can understand obviously I imagine that Paul Scholes can get a seat in the VIP box or whatever but you can't bring all your mates yeah I guess I don't know they used to just have a speed dial somewhere at the club where they could get like 20-30 tickets but obviously Sir Jim is cracking down on it why because he could make 1500 coin yeah and I guess there's certain peripheries of the new system that don't like the old old guard but Nicky is the one that is really feeling it so he has had his season ticket taken off him for not attending three matches in a row so I've had a bit of a dig into this Man United have a new policy with season ticket holders if you don't attend three matches in a row you get your season ticket revoked instantly instantly you get a refund well so they emailed Nicky out the blue saying hi Nicky your season ticket has been revoked if you have any problems please ring this number so Nicky's rang up and gone excuse me I'm Nicky Butt like you can't take my season ticket away and the operator was like excuse me can you just say who you are again he went Nicky Butt and he was like well who's that never heard of him and so it feels a little bit like the class of 92 are getting the same treatment as the dinner lady or that you know fella from fella from the museum the club historian yeah and his name again Clive something yeah I can't remember yeah but they are yeah they're essentially getting no extra tickets and you know fair enough they've got to pay for the tickets but there's just no way for them easy to get I sort of think if you're Nicky but you should be able to ring up and go I want to go to this game yeah three tickets yeah maybe two yeah there are some threads on Reddit that are saying that it basically means that United can then make the ticket available by revoking the season ticket it and then resell it again.

16:30That's definitely, I mean, I guess it's also just like, we're going to have a policy that means that only real fans can come. Yeah. There shouldn't be exceptions. Yeah. Yeah. The funny bit is that they had no idea who Nicky, but he must've played like 300 games for United. 450 games for the club. That's like, he must be top, top 20 appearance. And yet, you kind of get it because he's not one of the glamour names. No, partly because his name is Butt. He's not. He's not at all. But also, it's like he did quite a lot of just like, sub Roy Keane midfield tidying up. But still, he's a club legend. He actually said that he mainly watches Crystal Palace now, which probably isn't going to go down well with United fans there.

17:09But surely Gary Neville can just go, right? Oh, Gary Neville's Royal E &E. Yeah. So, is Nicky's season ticket in the Stratford end? I presume it's in a nice bit. I don't think they're putting him in with all the ruffians. Yeah. You know? Maybe he likes that. Yeah. Because like, if he's not showing up to sit in those seats then I kind of I kind of think like they are hard to come by those tickets we don't want to have such empty seats yeah exactly just like just have a policy that former players if you've played 450 times for them I think it does you just call up Nicky if you want to come to a game Bellas it'll sort you out a ticket but don't take one of the season tickets from your team gym if you're not going to show up to match it's going to be an empty seat there that's the way it is and the dinner ladies can just have a sandwich I think Nicky Bart should be able to go to matches if he wants to.

17:58No, I do agree. I don't think he should be taking a ticket from hard-blocking fans. I just want to see Nicky Bart and Gary Neville get the same treatment. Yeah. Some United fans have called for a special Legends box to be implemented at Man United so that they can all turn up for every game and watch it together. It's basically the Sky Sports studio. I think given the work that Sir Jim has done today, he's probably not signing that off. yeah yeah yeah I used to ask Luke Littler to sort him out yeah that must have been grating for Nicky to see Luke Littler it's kind of a bit of a like time comes for us all thing doesn't it it's like no matter how big a legend no matter the treble and the titles in the end one day the person in the box office will have no fucking clue who you are I did read that the brand guy they had from Adidas is picking out like certain celebrities to make it you know sort of in line with United's new brand you know and they think that Luke is a good example of like a younger fan supporting Man United yeah strategy yeah yeah I mean it's we're talking about the match now right yeah so um other big story for this week of course did you watch the World Cup draw it was amazing it was incredible wasn't it it was just gripping gripping from start to finish uh no I honestly think it's one of the most painful things I've ever watched because I I sort of I was looking forward to it like rushed high I missed the first hour of it and thought like I'll go home at six and I'll catch it.

19:27And it was still like another 40 minutes of what? Just excruciating banter from Rio Ferdinand. Infantino as well. He walked out with like arms wide as if he was like a comedian hosting the Golden Globes or something. And there was one point where he led the crowd in charts of USA. Did they do it? I mean, it was all these like stuffy FIFA blazers. Do you remember when he tried to get them to do FIFA, FIFA, FIFA, Qatar, Qatar, Qatar? and he started it and no one joined in. It's painful. Honestly, it was painful to watch. Rio Ferdinand especially. Did you see the bit with Ike Casillas? I didn't get this.

20:06He's done the rounds a lot, but it's a good clip. Hey, Rio, do you ever get the score on him? Pardon? What type of question is that, Danny? I'm a defender. Oh, I know. But you come up for headers all the time. Yeah, but listen. See what I'm saying? Guys, professional. What are you trying to do right here? Is he trying to say, is it literally just saying that he doesn't come up for headers? I think it's meant to be a gag of like, Americans don't get football. And you've asked me a really like dumb question. I think it's a gag. I thought you meant score as in like score women maybe. I don't know.

20:39No, I think you meant did you ever score past Casillas? Yeah. Oh my God. Score on here. Yeah. But I don't understand exactly what was going on there. Whether it was scripted and shit. Improv and shit. or rio was like actually i said i was whatever it was it was terrible excruciating um and that's before you even get to the the peace prize which obviously donald trump won i saw one um cnn commentator compare it to giving a child a toy phone which is really yeah it is they've just literally just made this up to keep him happy yeah but i mean with with with that with with the peace prize the the chanting usa the i mean it ended with ymca which is a trump anthem anyway the whole bizarre spectacle ended with the village people performing ymca um which is one of trump's favorite songs he blasts out all of his rallies which you know it seems strange really that the ultra conservative president of the united states would co-opt a gay disco anthem as his unofficial theme tune but that is until you remember that YMCA is not a gay song right it's not all right right whatever anyone says it is not and that is according to his co-writer Victor Willis uh who insists that the song is entirely heterosexual um so so Victor he's a an avid Trump supporter uh you'll probably better know him though as the leather-clad cop from the The guy covered in baby oil.

22:21The one who's oiled up. Not the construction worker that's oiled up. Wasn't the album it was on called Cruisin'. Really? What was it? Cruisin' in a car. Just a bunch of guys just cruisin'. Nothing gay about that. I prefer their second album, Cottaging.

22:41Anyway, Victor gladly allowed Trump to use his song at his rallies. and in fact he's become so sick of people referring to the hit as a gay anthem that he issued this statement on Facebook last year. Come January 2025, my wife will start suing each and every news organisation that falsely refers to YMCA as somehow a gay anthem. Somehow. You can hang out with all the boys is simply 1970s black slang for black guys hanging out together for sports gambling or whatever. There's nothing gay about that. Or anal sex. wow yeah and in case you you still have any doubts about that we're looking now at a picture of Victor and the gang in their 70s comp so which one's Victor Victor is the police officer the twinkie one on the left far left it's quite muscly maybe he's a twunk we've got the construction worker with a ripped shirt which could be George Michael I've noticed cowboy open shirt six pack quite oiled up as well at the rally they still have the same characters but they're just slightly dressed more heterosexual.

23:47Oh, really? So like the builder's like a proper builder now. The policeman's like in an NYPD uniform, you know. An ice uniform. I'm like, it's still gay, lads. It's still really gay. What's the cowboy? The cowboy's the same, but just a bit more buttoned up. Yeah, like Yellowstone vibes. The one to the right of the cowboy is what? It's an SS uniform, isn't it? I don't really know. I think that is... Pilot. I think he is, yeah. I think he's joined the Mile High Club. And then Soldier. Full Leather, Soldier, and then Native American. Yeah. Which I noticed they still have the Native American and they were doing it at the FIFA.

24:25Yeah. I'd probably say the gayest one for me is the builder. Yeah. He's just in the clearest focus. I don't know. The Twinkie policeman is pretty. I mean, that's Victor Willis. Yeah. Sorry, Victor. I know it's not. Nothing gay about that. Definitely straight. This is including the tracks Sleazy and Ready for the Boys. Yeah. Ready for the 80s, sorry. That's the ready for the voice. The album says live and sleazy. Macho Man. Yeah. Of course. Macho, Macho Man. How was it not clear that the head of the sexual was doing a song called Macho Man? So are they just trying to erase 40 years of history with this song?

25:02Apparently so. Was Victor Willis always of this opinion or has he had a bit of a conversion? Of what? Some of the Trump guys have done gay conversion, haven't they? Am I going to get sued by Victor Willis' wife? Potentially, mate. This is not a news organisation. Yeah, I don't know whether he has latterly decided that it's not a gay song or has it for the entirety that they were performing it throughout the 80s. It's like, why are all these guys just taking their shirts off? Why is everyone offering poppers in the green room? I mean, I've had some, but I don't know why. You still, you just had no clue the whole way through.

25:44Because I've never heard this from him before. No. I don't know what's funnier, that whole thing, or that he is just a straight guy who's just been completely baffled by watching you becoming this gay. Been in the dark. Or he's just really annoyed. Just the whole way, it's like, God damn it, he's just taking my song again. He kind of reminds me of when your campus mate comes out and they're the last one to realise they're gay. Yeah, man, you'll get there. You'll fucking get there. You macho man. Anyway, one World Cup fixture that Victor and the gang will be giving a wide berth to is the group stage game in Seattle on the 26th of June, which for a long time, pre-World Cup draw, this had been marked out as the tournament's pride match.

26:29So it was gay pride weekend taking place in Seattle during that match. And they'd planned for that game to be a big LGBTQ plus celebration. the fixture gods clearly have a sense of humour because the draw has handed that fixture slot to Iran versus Egypt two countries where homosexuality is illegal, it's punishable by death in Iran that's crazy well I'm sure like in Qatar people will respect the local traditions when they're in Seattle I'm very much looking forward to Ayatollah Khomeini strutting out to the village people sashaying around well it's not a gay song it's one of the straightest songs ever it does give him a get out clause when he's surrounded by all these oiled up construction I'm a macho man it's straight, it's definitely not a gay song apparently they have asked for it to be changed now both Iran and Egypt could you drop the whole pride thing or move the game I think if this becomes a thing though Seattle being very liberal they're probably going to go OTT on it being the game match even if they say they can't.

27:42Do you not think they'll have flags and stuff like that? You're good if fans are in like assless chaps and stuff. Really go for it. Should we go? Yeah, I think we should go for it. We should, that would be fun. That's amazing. So what do you, I mean, by the time this pods out they probably will have fucking moved the fixture or something. Because even if you drop the this is the Pride match thing, it's still happening on Pride weekend in Seattle. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, all these Iranian fans having like pink feather boas. I mean the Iranians who like most of them live in LA which isn't that far they're probably pretty down with that shit yeah let's get down there what I will say is I've been to Iran and I've never been hit on by men more really yeah they're probably quite oppressed I was like 21 I had bleach blonde hair and a pink earring because I'm a macho man I was covered in baby oil obviously and yeah got a lot of pen pals on that trip really still keep in touch nah well imagine you'd reza if you're listening I don't know I mean I don't know if they were definitely hitting on me but like probably just being friendly yeah

28:48actually a little tip for Iranians who are hoping to stream the village people back home before the big game NordVPN which allows you to watch or listen to content not available in your region I guess it is now available in Iran thanks to the unofficial national anthem I'm seeing you but yeah maybe it's sports maybe it's bypassing censorship regimes maybe it's something really cool i don't even know about you can do it all with nordvpn uh you know if you're ivan tony you could get those get your re-add feed back on tiktok while you're in london watch your london in 2100 reels uh and it's also quite essential this christmas i think nordvpn because a lot of us get me going home and you know your your mum might still have the parental controls in place on the Wi-Fi.

29:34VPN will get you around that. I was actually reading about porn use around Christmas. Interesting. Well, I thought maybe people watch more at Christmas, which is a depressing thought. With your family. Yeah, but you... I don't know. Just going upstairs, mum. So porn use in the UK drops 20 % on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Yeah, that's good. It's almost not enough, is it? But searches for Santa on porn sites surge. And this is from the BBC. searches for Mrs. Claus go up 735%. Elf go up 464%. And perplexingly, searches for dick in a box rise by 570 % at Christmas. Great bit of journalism there.

30:17Festive dick in a box. Is that like... I think that's... Is it like you unwrap a present and then there's... There's a dick. Like, you know, the like popcorn bucket on the dick thing. I think it's that. Yeah. But it must be people see presents and are like, dick in a box. The mind immediately just goes to like... clip yeah i think the video the video they have in mind is is a gift wrapped box on a dig right you open it and then surely when you as soon as you hand the present you can't be to say to somebody like here's your present you've got to come over here to unwrap well i think it's more of a come over here and then here's your surprise oh okay you see you've done this before jim clearly you have an answer for christmas it does it for me sort of novelty erotica but yeah it's and good to see the BBC are researching that.

31:02That's why I pay my license fee and my NordVPN fee. So there's an exclusive discount on NordVPN for shotters in Iran and beyond. So go to nordvpn.com forward slash upshot.
