Wayne Rooney's got his trousers down. Plus, Boris Becker's tales of Diddy's Freak Ops. Looking forward to that one. How we doing? Welcome back. My name's Jack. Hello, Zach. Hello, Jack. Buongiorno, fellas. Oh, buongiorno, fellas. You can't say my fucking line. Say what I want, bitch. How we doing? Good. Nice to be back. If anyone really enjoyed that little bit of repartee, then may I recommend joining us in Manchester or Glasgow, where we are down to single digit number of tickets.

2:08Just a few left. Genuinely a handful now. Now is the last chance to get them. They're going to fall this week. Yeah, so if you want to join us, Manchester's on the 11th of April, Glasgow's on the 15th. Love to see you there. We got a lot of exciting stuff planned. A lot of stories that are too spicy for the pod. A few new ones have come in. Really good bits of gossip that we would not dream of sharing on here. Also, were you saying that someone big is going to be in the audience in Manchester? Yeah, there is a rumour that we could have an ex-Man City legend in the room of us in Manchester. So well worth getting down to the show.

2:39Strong, yeah. There's strong rumours that a former Man City player has bought a ticket for the show. My father-in-law knocks about with some dodgy ex-professional footballers. So keep your eyes peeled. How dodgy. Dodgy former Man City player. Barton. I think he's got enough on at the minute, mate. He certainly has. Yeah. You know, Joey, he likes to keep his lawyers busy, you know, whether he's stubbing a cigar out on a teammate's eye or attacking teenage boys at a cab rank. But even by Barton standards, it was a big old week for malignant friends, his lawyers. So Joey Barton was due in court on Tuesday for the conclusion of his long-running libel and harassment case with Ennio Luko, the pundit.

3:26Unfortunately, neither Joey nor his lawyers could make it on account of him being banged up in the nick. He's been arrested and charged outside a golf course for being a blowcup on Sunday. Fucking horrific. Never a boring day as Joey Barton's lawyer, is there? I have literally two cases in one week. So I've actually got to be a little bit careful about this assault case of how we describe it because there are active criminal proceedings. But luckily he was in magistrate's court on Tuesday. So the basics have been spelled out. There's quite a lot of juicy details. So basically Barton had spent a long day playing golf and then boozing at the Heighton and Prescott Golf Club in Merseyside area.

4:06He's from Heighton originally, isn't he? They've got a pic of him here. Is this him on the day? That's him on the day playing golf. He looks like his American high school movie character. character those hats like it looks like the american football jock who bullies a little like dweeby nerd i mean in a way given what basically i mean it's not far off what actually happened so basically apparently he's in the bar after the he's played his round of golf he's in the bar he's a member of this club he's there all the time he's in the bar having drinks and um he's one of the people having drinks with him is a guy called kevin lynch who is he's the head teacher of a school for children with additional needs well that makes this even worse doesn't it he well he He also used to manage Marine.

4:46Do you remember the lower league team that played Tottenham in the FA Cup? Was he manager then? No, he wasn't manager then, but he has managed them and a couple of other teams. Okay, he's got some football links. And so do they know each other? I don't know. But basically this group of which both remember were drinking together and a row breaks out that spills outside and it ends up with Kevin is basically the victim of a really nasty assault. He's punched, kicked and stamped on. someone in the group a man shouts you should have behaved as he's being beaten up and Kevin's been in hospital with severe injuries apparently he might lose sight in one eye that's what they said in court that is absolutely savage yeah that's not that's not just a little scrap over you you kicked my ball on the on the team on the green I shouted four yeah I don't know what actually happened but Barton and a guy called Gary O 'Grady were arrested and have been charged already.

5:44And have they been in Nick since then? Yeah, they've been in Nick since then. They've been in magistrate's court and they've been denied bail. So Barton's got to stay in jail for four weeks until the next hearing. Imagine telling the message you're going out for a round of golf. Sorry, love, I'm not going to be home tonight. Something's happened at the golf course. Probably saw me in the paper. So apparently for this magistrate's hearing, his mate Gary was in like prison uniform, but Barton was still in his golf gear. This is two days later. in a golf jumper. Is he going to be in it for the next four weeks?

6:13Maybe in his little checkered, checkered glasses. One of those Pringle jumpers. And his golf shoes. Spikes would be pretty handy on the inside to be fair. Yeah, to be fair, yeah. Apparently Barton brought a book with him into the dock. Of course. Nietzsche, presumably. The Spake Zarathustra. What's the purpose of bringing a book into the dock? Is it to make you look more educated and like you're... Yeah. I think it's a bit of, a bit of like, I don't really fucking care. Yeah. I'm just here reading my book. I'm chilling. reading Andrew Tate's book. Anyway, as they were otherwise engaged, trying to prevent Joey from being kept inside, both he and his lawyers missed this libel trial.

6:50The final, the outcome, the judgment of the libel trial. They were a no-show. That's been running for so long as well. Can you imagine how many late nights those lawyers have spent pouring over libel laws, trying to get him off the hook, and then the big day finally comes up? Can't make it. So apparently the court got informed. so basically a lucos lawyer stood up in court and was like i've just had a phone call from liverpool police station just saying yeah mr barton isn't going to be making it today joey's not making it loud i think that they're like you know the duty solicitor you know if you get nicked jp you know if you get nicked there's someone there who's just for anyone yeah free solicitor that lawyer had to ring lucos and be like good news anyway in his absence he lost the libel trial the judge awarded 339 grand to Ennio Lugo.

7:37Fucking hell, Joey Barton's having a bad week, isn't he? Yeah. So is that just because Joey had no one to defend himself? No, I think... He would have made the decision, right? Yeah, I think he'd already made the judgment. He has said, Barton's got seven days to appeal because he's otherwise engaged. But I think it's the judgment anyway, because there have been a few already on the step. And can he appeal while he's in Nick? I think so, as always can. Yeah, fair enough. He might have a bit too much on his hands. I mean, that kind of thing happening doesn't urge you to be lenient. yeah yeah yeah I was trying to work out what because you know he he called Aluko the Rose West of football which is all the papers were making out that that's what the trial was about but it actually wasn't it was about some of the other stuff he said I don't know how technical you want to get on libel really technical really fun to technical he used the truth to fend so basically he basically said that he her case is that he implied that she was dishonest when she claimed about bullying in the FA from Mark Samson that old England women's manager right and and then there's some separate harassment stuff that he's admitted wrongdoing on.

8:37You know where he like got all his followers on her back. He's admitted wrongdoing on that. I guess comparing someone to Rose West is a bit offside. Yeah, but it's not. I don't think it should be prevented by law, but that wasn't what the case was about, is my point. But he's already had to pay Jeremy Vine half a million for calling him a bike nonce.

8:56Is Jeremy Vine the one who has the camera on his fucking bike the whole time? I mean, no comment.

9:04I strongly advise you to stay with that comment. But yeah, it's just so funny because it's like, does anyone remember when Joey Barton was on Question Time? Yeah. Speaking in the Oxford Union, the Guardian described him as exceptionally pleasant in the flesh. And he used to like, do you remember he tweeted, he tweeted like, just chilling out in a cafe reading Nietzsche. Like, fuck. He literally was playing such a different role and now everyone's like, I know who you are. Yeah, it did seem at that point that he was going to make this transition from like footballer who is basically known for stubbing out cigars in people's eyes and getting jailed for beating people up to like actual like public intellectual.

9:42Yeah. Maybe he has got a bit of both but he's clearly just got a fucking awful temper. Look at this state. Yeah. I mean look we don't know what happened in the golf clubs and we can't spend it. All we can share is the facts as they've been reported in magistrate's court. Please. But yeah. It's two court cases in one week. Missing a libel case because you're banged up on an assault charge. That must be the first time that's ever happened. Mental. Yeah, rough week, Joey. It did lead me to look back into some of any of Luko's punditry because do you remember her theory about Declan Rice's transfer?

10:20No. So the context was that Man City were being... Declan Rice was about to join Arsenal and at the last minute Man City were being linked with him and she has a theory about why. I think there's a lot of cat and mouse going on here. As a sporting director, I used to do this a lot. So I used to call up a club, big club, and say, right, can you put in a bid in? And that would get my owner to basically put a higher bid in. It's a bit like an auction, isn't it? I don't think Manchester City actually want to sign declarise. I think what's going on here is Arteta's picked up the phone to Pep, said, listen, you know, Arsenal are going to do the sort of incremental bid approach.

10:56If you put a higher bid in, that will push my owner to... I think there's a bit of that going on here. What, for speed then? They just want it to happen quicker? Well, for speed, but to get the deal done. Because, you know, West Ham obviously won a certain valuation. I think I read 120 million. Why don't Arsenal just go and pay it then? Well, this is the thing. I don't know why Arsenal are doing this incremental approach. But it says to me that Man City coming in sort of later on, it feels like they're trying to, you know, it's going to help Arsenal. Because the fans are going to get on it now and say, hold on a second, Declan Rice, if you let Declan Rice go to Man City when he was our number one target, that says a lot about Arsenal.

11:32so I think there's a bit of that going on I used to do it all the time and it used to work that is one of the worst takes I've ever heard so what he thinks that she thinks that Man City is helping Arsenal get Declan Rice by bidding for him yeah Pep's helping Pep's helping Arteta Pep's in Arteta they are mates but also their biggest probably biggest rivals yeah it doesn't really make too much sense did she say at the start when I was I know from being a sporting director I didn't know she was to be fair yeah I think she was a sporting director for a theme for a women's team, right? Was she? I've not.

12:05She's a lawyer, isn't she, as well? Is she? Yeah. Careful what you say. Nose her onions. In the law. So a lot has happened in the last week or so. World War III broke out. Joey Barton's back behind bars. And of course, the biggie, it was the Brit Awards. The big news. The big news is the last couple of weeks. You guys watching? Yeah, it was about two weeks ago. It was a while ago. we're not always always hot on the hot on the press here anyway for the it was the first time in the British history they decided to move the event from London to Manchester oh don't we know it they promised to electrify the city bring a night of glitz and glamour to Manchester and gotta say that they did really were you watching it?

12:53I did watch it I watched it was amazing it was incredible it was incredible I should have seen Robbie Williams' outfit. It was beautiful. But no, Harry Styles performed, Dua Lipa performed, Mark Ronson did a medley of his greatest hits. And in a way, so did Wayne Rooney. So in the early hours of Saturday mornings, this is actually the night before the Brits, he was spotted drinking with two mystery women at a pre-Britz party. So according to one onlooker in the bar, he was very worse for wear. So this is a quote. Wayne couldn't seem to get his trousers done up. At one moment they almost dropped to the floor.

13:36He kept pulling his trousers up but then they'd fall down again. Does that look right? Yeah. Got a clip of it here. Onlookers claimed Wayne looked a bit worse for wear and at one point was struggling to do up his trousers as he walked around the venue. Wayne later left the venue at 3.25am He does look pissed then. Yeah. to a taxi alone. He wasn't spotted at the Brit Awards the next day where acts including Olivia Dean and... Oh, it was the night before. It was the night before the show. Oh, so he spunk this load early. Was he supposed to be at the Brits? What was Wayne Rooney doing at the Brits?

14:07I mean, I wouldn't put it past him. It's a bit of Manchester glamour. He does love karaoke as well. I suppose he's a Manchester legend, isn't he? I don't know though that when the Brit Awards promised to electrify Manchester with a night of glitz and glamour they were quite picturing Wayne Rooney stumbling around a hotel half cut through it with his trousers around his ankles. But, you know. Were they around his ankles? He sort of... You know, he's just like that steam and he can't quite work out how his trousers work. Yeah. My dad will do this in a restaurant and just like completely undo the belt and like to tuck the shirt in and it's like going right in under.

14:41But you don't need to take your trousers off. Clearly your father has no table etiquette. You know what I mean? He's probably just rearranging. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He did look quite pissed at the camera. He looked pretty bad really and he was he was busy with these two women till 3am he then staggered out to the street we saw a picture of it and got in a cab they got in separate cabs the other women should say okay so no no wrongdoing in that front a couple of days afterwards though Colleen was spotted without her wedding ring on ooh it was back it was back on the next day alright she's done the washing up probably just went to the gym 24 hour row reminded me of the last time that Colleen ditched a ring.

15:24Do you remember it was, I think it was 2004 when Rooney, it was one of several times that he was caught with escorts. And this time he got caught out because he left her a note reading, to Charlotte, I shagged you on 28th of December. Loads of love, Wayne Rooney. Which, you gotta say, if you're trying to have a secret fling with an escort, then don't do that. Is it just to like remind him? Why would you do that? biggest sort of souvenir for her you know that um have you ever seen that like book letters of note which has got like loads of like famous letters from like great people from history i'd like that in the next edition really really profound there wayne it's one of the great love letters did he spell you like that just the letter you yeah i hope charlotte's still got that letter because it's probably worth something he should have put he should have put a tb at the end yeah 28th of december is a weird time yeah brossing i mean it's a weird time yeah always always brass in the gooch

16:24you finished all the it's that lull between Christmas and New Year you just you finished the Christmas special of Royal Family's done turkey's going dry turkey's a bit dry we've already watched Gavin and Stacey yeah the in-laws the in-laws are over you've got to slip out you've got some down time well hang on what happened with the ring last time so anyways the story got out thanks to this note largely and Killeen caught wind of it and this is the story from the tabloids at the time. Colleen McLaughlin ran out of the couple's house near Liverpool and headed for the nearby National Trust squirrel walk.

16:59Before Rudy could catch her, she had ripped off her engagement ring and thrown it into dense undergrowth where it could not be found. Always go to the squirrel sanctuary in your moments of need. That is the safe space. Very peaceful there, isn't it? Probably red squirrels. There are red squirrels there. Doesn't it look lovely? So was the ring ever found? Do we know? I don't think so. Really? We should head down there. with the old detector. I reckon the squirrels, is it like magpies do that? Yeah, that's the sort of thing that they'd have up there. They'd be having a field day. Yeah, they'd buried it somewhere.

17:30So hang on to Wayne. I think it's also Wayne. Do you think he was doing anything wrong before the Brits? No. There's always two women with him, isn't it? Yeah. Remember the Snapchat models? Yeah, the Snapchat models. Yeah. It's his magic number. It doesn't sound that bad. It just sounds like he was statement. I think he was just... He had a big night out. you just wanted to talk about the squirrel sanctuary just wanted to point out there are red squirrels on Merseyside there's actually a Rooney's doc coming out this year on Disney of course there is yeah I think it's maybe sort of Beckham-esque yeah I was about to say is it Beckham-y yeah I don't know if they'll be covering the squirrel sanctuary yeah I wonder will they do because you know how like the Beckhams one they did the briefest moment about the Rebecca Luce thing yeah they'll probably skirt over stuff are they going to talk about the PVC granny are they going to talk about not really Disney is it actually speaking of shaggers returning to the media Boris Becker was on Louis Theroux's podcast last week good tie up that yeah Boris obviously is in exile from the UK he can't get back in really because you remember he obviously went to jail for not paying his debts for hiding assets yeah he was in the Nick and Henley was he yeah lovely Nick feather pillow The sound of the sound of the river in the background.

18:51I was listening to someone talking about Penterville prison the other day and they were pointing out that if you're in Penterville prison you can just see out onto the high street. Really? See people like going to the shops and stuff. How quaint. That's lovely. No, but I think seeing people going about the way Oh, I think seeing freedom will make you Yeah, I think it'd be harder. Do you think? No, I kind of feel like at least you've got some kind of stimulation. Yeah. Right? Because otherwise if you just look out onto just like a concrete yard I guess then It's tough. Anything that gives you some sort of like interaction and stimulation.

Right. In Germany, I guess. and he went on Louis Theroux's pod. He wants to set the record straight on a few things, right? Yes, he cheated on his first wife with a waitress in a broom closet at a Japanese restaurant.

21:19And yes, his wife was heavily pregnant and in hospital at the time. But she was not in labor, right? He's not an animal. Everyone stop saying that. He's not some sort of beast. Here's Boris clarifying to Louis Theroux that she was not in labor. And also the nature of the infidelity that took place, which was pretty brutal. She was in hospital, pregnant, going through contractions, and that was when the infidelity took place, right? And then she stuck with you for a bit afterwards. That's not true. There were no contractions. She was in hospital, but there was no contractions. Either way, that's not quite the win you think it is.

22:02Absolute sociopath. I mean, he does. Is there anyone listening to that being like, Boris had a really hard deal. That story's really been misconstrued. She was only two centimeters dilated at the time. It was at least four hours. Louis just saying that, right. He does go on to say, I cheated on her, no doubt about that. So he's honest. Although he then goes on to say, she got a nice check out of it. She got a nice monthly support out of it. And she realized that nobody's perfect. Yeah. Wasn't it like 10 mil? Yeah. I think she did get quite a lot of money. I just have the idea. He's like, and I taught her a valuable lesson about life, which is what?

22:46Don't go into hospital while pregnant. If your husband's shaggy. That's great. Yeah. He's, he's a little bit, a little bit unrepentant. Yeah. I don't think he, not too contrite. No. He does also drop a bit of a bombshell. I think elsewhere in the, interview he he admits that he in miami met with p diddy and uh yeah he sort of sort of goes a bit further than that actually do you meet diddy i've met him you know i spent a lot of time in miami and did it surprise you when the stuff about the free cops came out um no i mean don't say that if you if you know diddy if you live in miami if if you you are invited on the weekends you know to parties, you have a choice of saying yes, and you have a choice of saying no.

23:36Nobody really talked in detail what happened, but they went for hours, and I called them freak-offs, and you put your two cents together what happened there. I feel like the freak-offs are getting conflated with the parties, because the freak-offs took place in hotel rooms, I think, with Cassie, and then he would bring in male sex workers, and there would be drugs, and they would take days. The parties were parties. The parties were parties, but even the parties, they took sometimes a day or two. Really? I mean, if you're asked if you're surprised about Peter, he'd say yes. Yeah, he just doesn't need to go into that.

24:13I met him, and now I'm not surprised to learn that he's a sex trafficker. Was he saying that he was at the parties? No, to be fair, he sort of goes on to deny it. He said, I've never been a guy for going to long parties, because what's the point? I think his attitude is like, in and out. Why waste time making small talk with Ashton Kutcher when you can straight the broom closet? in a broom cupboard yeah well i think he kind of says no and he basically says like they're all doing loads of drugs and yeah he sort of says that's not my thing yeah uh yeah you don't i mean i feel like the uh the whole jeffrey epstein people people being like confronted with that has shown that you should just just deny well he asked him in the podcast like did you meet jeffrey and he gives him quite a sketchy i think he's kind of says no doesn't he says no but he did meet Andrew.

24:58Yeah, that's different. Yeah. That was probably at some awards. Yeah. Or at Wimbledon. Yeah. Yeah. I think the only risk obviously is if you say no and then it later, a photo appears in fancy dress with Diddy. I see Boris as a sort of like horny devil on Halloween with his outfit. Yeah. Yeah. I actually got more news from the world of crime and punishment. Harry Maguire got a jail sentence in Greece this week. Suspended, I should say. Harry Maguire's not in jail. that arrest in Mykonos was five and a half years ago fucking hell feels like yesterday hate their time in Greece I was wondering why is it taking so long but the case was postponed three times due to Greek lawyers strikes any fucking excuse that lot anyway yeah so he's he's been given a suspended sentence he says he's going to appeal it to the highest court in the land does that mean he can't go to Greece?

25:54I don't think he's gonna yeah but I think if I was him might now just drop the appeal and just never go there again yeah i get quite awkward if man united get a greek a.k.a. a.k.a. a.k.a. i'd skip the trip how long was the suspended census you say i don't know i think a couple of years i think he's been completely fucked over it sounds it doesn't it so he basically he was to remind people he was on a family holiday in mykonos and he went to some god-awful beach club racked up a 60 grand bar bill the snooker player judd trump was with him for some reason i guess they're mates as you do but anyway there's like this really nasty incident where he says that two guys drugged his sister and basically this big commotion breaks out where he's like i want an ambulance she needs to get to hospital at which point some plainclothes police turn up and basically he doesn't know their police and they're like being really rough and like i think they're basically telling him to calm down i don't know but anyway basically a scrap breaks out between him and them and he gets cuffed and put in a car.

26:52He still doesn't know that they're police. And obviously, the shit's just happened. Can we be terrified? He's getting cuffed by plain clothes. So he just thinks it's like some gangsters. He said, my initial thought was we were getting kidnapped. We got down on our knees, we put our hands in the air and they started hitting us. They were hitting my legs saying, your football career is over. No more football. No more football. You will never see your precious Manchester again. But that was, he recognised him. Yeah. And he says that they, they said, if you give us 50 ,000 euros, it'll all go away.

31:38Beautiful. Now, if you're a cricket fan, you will no doubt be familiar with Cricket Unfiltered. It's Australia's longest running cricket podcast, absolute institution, been going since 2013, hosted by the much-loved Andrew Meners-Menscal. And, you know, he's been hosting it with various people down the years, but this year, Cricket Unfiltered's producers were on the hunt for a new co-host for Meners, someone who knew the game inside out. And that was when somebody put forward the name of Stu McGill, the former Australia bowler who, by all rights, he should have been one of the greatest spin bowlers of all time.

32:19But unfortunately for Stu, he had the misfortune of his career aligning with the late great Shane Warne, which meant that he only saw a fraction of the action that he should have done really. But still, you know, Stu had played at the highest level and he could offer Cricket Unfiltered listeners some unrivaled insights to life at the top of the game. And sure, he had a bit of a rap sheet. So we've talked about this before. Stu narrowly avoided jail last year after taking part in a 660 grand cocaine deal that went badly wrong, mostly for him. So just to recap it. So after hanging up his cricket whites, Stu got pretty big into coke to the point where he was spending about$800 a week on it.

33:08Nice habit. And at some point around 2021, Stu decided to introduce his dealer to his brother-in-law, who just happened to be a pretty big fish in the Sydney Coke game. So the three of them met in this underground car park and struck a deal where Stu's dealer would buy 660 grams worth of Coke off Stu's brother-in-law. A nice deal for all involved. but when they meet to hand over the cash this bloke gives Stu's brother-in-law a vacuum sealed bag with cut up bits of A4 paper with a few$50 notes on the outside oh my god what did he think he weren't going to check it? what's the long term plan there?

33:52well you'll be surprised to hear that this did not go down too well with Stu's brother-in-law which culminated in Stu being abducted at gunpoint in Sydney by three masked men holy fuck they took out on him they took it out on him he was sort of he was sort of the middle middle man to the dealer right so he got bundled into the back of this car driven 60 kilometers to this remote property where the kidnappers threw him into a moldy shack it sounds like it's from a film it really is some sort of like Aussie soap opera type film it's like crystal meth soap stars anyway they threw him in the shack stripped him naked and beat him until he blacked out.

34:36They then threatened to cut off his fingers if he didn't hand over 150 grand. Sorry, and he's married to the guy's sister. He's really regretting that introduction. This is what you do to your family. Was it worth that 1 % cut? Probably not. I don't think so. Jogan even got the cut, he just got a bit freaky. Didn't get the cut and got his fingers chopped off. Did they chop his fingers off? No, they didn't chop his fingers off. As a spin bowler. That'd be harsh. no so they held him for a little while eventually dumped him by the side of the road and he had to hitch a lift home we actually naked I don't know if they gave his clothes back right I'm not sure about that that's very can you imagine driving through the outback and there's a naked bloke naked bloke we actually had a letter recently from from a listener who said apparently the kidnappers had released him after an hour because he was so annoying he is quite annoying yeah the listeners of cricket unfiltered kid probably can cut i don't know if that's true i don't know if if they if that is true then they were very efficient kidnappers driving 60 kilometers beat him up beat him unconscious trying to cut his fingers yeah it's a busy hour an hour but you know i wouldn't put it past them um anyway obviously this was a terrifying ordeal for for stew um But then as part of the investigation, the police uncovered his role in setting up this deal.

36:05So he was sort of complicit. And it went to court last year. And Stu, he was spared a jail term, but was slapped with a 495-hour community service order, as well as some rehab stuff that he had to do. but then in between his time repainting Sydney Harbour Bridge and litter picking on Bondi Beach Stu decided that he'd do a bit of podding and bag the gig as Mena's new co-host on Cricket Unfiltered so there were a few nervous glances around the producer's studio because clearly judging by his track record he had a bit of a volatile temperament uh but you know they they gave him the job anyway as part you know benefit the doubt get stoop back on the back on the straight and narrow he made his debut on the 28th of january and the first four episodes the first three episodes passed off very smoothly getting on well until their fourth episode when menas his co-host made the fatal error of bringing up an incident involving Candice Warner, who's the wife of David Warner, this Aussie cricket legend.

37:22So back in 2007, Candice Warner had infamously shagged Sonny Bill Williams in a pub toilet. And this was like a famous story at the time in Australia. Everyone knew about it. And for years afterwards, fans had taunted David Warner about it. Some fans would turn up to Australian matches with Sonny Bill Williams masks on. stuff like that and anyway menas basically mentioned this in passing saying that he thought it was pretty low and pretty unacceptable that south africa fans during a tour in 2018 had still been bringing up this incident to taunt david warner fair point to make i think but it didn't go down too well with stew mcgill got a clip here i do think the sexist treatment of candace warner from the South African crowds went way over the line.

38:14Going in with Sonny Bill William Maas to try and taunt Warner is low. That is low behaviour. It's targeting his wife, which I think is pretty poor. And I think, yeah, they can go pretty low. Well, I think it's pretty low talking about it, for starters, so I think, you know, you didn't need to go into details there. I think that's shit. You're a fucking idiot. You shouldn't go into details about things like this because you're doing exactly the same as the crowd, okay? No, no, you are. Because they were taunting you. Listen to me now. Yeah, yeah. You've raised exactly the same issues. Yeah. You're saying the same thing that they did, and that is shit.

38:50So we're not going to talk about that anymore. If we're going to talk about issues to do with one particular player, we can say that they've talked about personal issues relating to that player. That's an issue. No, no. No, no, that's fair. No, I'm right, mate. No, that's fair. Yeah, it is fair. But I just wanted to draw the example of what they were. And what I want you to do right this minute, because otherwise this is going to be a very, very short-lived relationship. You need to respect players and their families a lot more than you do at the moment. I do respect them. I mean, he wasn't even fucking saying anything.

39:25Listen, she's a friend of mine as well. I feel sorry for her. Listen, I feel sorry for you because you're obviously so pigheaded. Because you do not realise that you said exactly the same thing as the South African crowd. I didn't bring anything up. Exactly the same. I didn't bring anything up. You did. I didn't go into detail. You are a one. Continue. Next topic. All right, next topic. Fair enough. You can tell he's like a bit stalled. All right, now moving to the Bangladesh tour. And if you cut that out, it's the last time I ever worked again. I won't cut it out. I'll leave it in. But I just think you're missing my mind.

40:00Move on. You're missing what I'm trying to say. Because I think. Move on. Move on. Warnersome. Move on. Warnersome Grace. Warnersome Grace. Listen, you muppet. When I say move on, I'm not talking. I'm not saying keep talking about something. Move on. It's my show as well. I can keep talking. Go on, keep talking. I will keep talking. It's your show, yeah. You're fucking right. I want to move on to the Bangladesh stuff. Good. All right. That's a good blow up. They've announced, Australia announced they'll be going to Bangladesh up to the north for three tests. You look really upset. I am upset with you.

40:36Move on. If you don't want to talk about it, that's fine. Not that, just why you're upset. You're a joke, mate. Move on. Move on. Well, you seem very irritable. Yeah, mate. Look, I may jump across the mic in any second. Fucking hell. Fuck. So Australia are going up north to Bangladesh for three, for two test matches. Actually, you know what? That's it for this episode. Thanks for joining us. Yep, absolutely. Thanks for joining us. that is unreal you wait for the day that happens at Upshot Town we've come close a few times JP

41:19I mean it is like that is an unbelievable head loss I think I've ever seen something like that on air he wasn't even fucking saying he was making a point the point that he was trying to make so basically the next episode that came out Stu McGill was nowhere to be seen it was basically it was a monologue from Benadol Stu's not available this week due to unforeseen circumstances he's on holiday yeah it's gone Benadol so he he actually he actually explained in the next episode that McGill had carried on off camera he said so the show ends he goes off some more yells at me calls me the C word storms out the door Menos then calls McGill a fucking idiot muppet and a ticking time bomb fucking hell it's his show I mean he at one point he's like I'm gonna hit you yeah that bit was like seriously threatening you know when Menos is like trying to move on he just keeps going move on what do you want me to do couple of times you literally hear Menos' voice yes fair enough I mean that was really intimidating I'd be fucking shitting it as well I think he handles himself quite well Menos yeah yeah in the circumstances it's just so good because man has just asked the question he's waiting for the student and it's like what do I think I think you're a fucking dick mate quite a cokey rant yeah that guy's fucking unhinged if you had any sort of concerns about should you reckon Steve McGill is the right man for the job and then you see this he's like so is he saying he's friends with her as well so he's clearly close to home he's been through some stuff so he's like sick of people's personal lives being brought I guess so yeah I mean I've got to say that digging up salacious gossip about people's personal lives on a podcast is pretty much as low as you can see.

43:07That's just beyond the pale. Especially old gossip. Yeah, just move on. Move on.

43:16Anyway. So is that it for Stuart? No, so you'd think after that there's no way back. But they actually did another episode together a few days ago. God, that must have been Frosty, no? It was. So McGill, he does apologize-ish for the meltdown, but he's doing it in the most barbed way possible. He's basically saying that, he repeats his point that Menas were bringing it up as like salacious clickbait, which I just don't think he was. I think he was, the point that he was actually trying to make, because he makes it on the next one, next episode, is that Cricket Australia is not like putting enough protection in place for their players when they go away on tour.

43:58And like, he used the David Warner thing as an example of like what they have to put up with when they're away on like trips. Why are you bringing it up? I think you're a fucking dick, mate. Why are you saying that? Move on. Look, I'm just trying to bring it up as a point. Move on. I'm just trying to... Move on. I don't think you... If you listen to the point... Move on. If you listen to the point check that I'm trying to make... Zach, this is going to be a very short-lived relationship if you don't move on. I'm about to come over there across this microphone right that's the end of the episode alright alright I'm moving on alright alright now speak okay can you let me move on because I've actually got a point about Jamie O 'Hara on TalkSport and it's I actually think it's quite similar oh really no there was actually Jamie did you see Jamie O 'Hara's meltdown on TalkSport so this was after the Spurs Atletico Madrid game the capitulation from from Spurs and Jamie O 'Hara was getting very very distressed on TalkSport afterwards I mean got a couple of clips of it now he ends up walking out of the studio amazing Cundey's been going in at him for like two weeks about Spurs yeah he's been saying to dare is to poo it is a joke three at the back three at the back four in midfield you're getting overrun Atletico Madrid away you've got Kingsky he's always 22 years old I've got my name I've got a mask on that he's not good enough to be in goal in a Champions League match.

45:25You play him against Barnsley. That's when you play Kinkski. Well, next season he will be. You can't play a kid.

45:37It makes it better that Cundey's a massive Chelsea fan. For people watching this, Jason Cundey, who's Jamie Harris co-host, is wearing a weird, like, I don't really know. It's like a clown mask. How he's got that made up, I do not know. It's a great line. Yeah. Next season you will be. Yeah, it's really good. And then it gets worse. And then, yeah, we've got another clip here. Stick with this guy. We are gone. This club is gone. And then at the end of the season... Who knows? But hold on a second, mate. At the end of the season... So you change a manager and your fortunes are going to change? No, no, I'm not saying they're going to change, but it can't get any worse.

46:11It can't get any worse in this manager. We joined the second half today. Oh, Jay, shut up. Honestly. I don't know what you want. Stop going on about the second half. You can't keep going on about it. Like, seriously, mate. Seriously, shut up You can't keep talking about the second half I withdrew the second half, mate Honestly I'll try not to swear You can't keep saying that, mate You can't keep saying that You're a professional pundit You can't keep saying that I did draw the second half

46:43Oh,

46:48that is class Oh, is it Ange? Oh, yeah, Ange. Who's flogging their masks? I'm trying to be professional here. I'm going to sweat. I'm going to sweat. That was great. He's walked off. Yeah, great. There's nothing better than a walk off. Move on. Move on. I think podcasts and stuff do need more fights. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's walked out again. Today is to poo, look. I mean factually they drew the second half that's actually a really good way of winding up Spurs fans it's like almost defending it yeah that's great so hang on Stu McGill is back on that pundit Stu McGill is back on cricket on Philton I mean I'm sceptical about how long he's going to last if I'm honest it would be great if that was just a full on fight yeah but yeah big week for pundit fools like fallouts Yeah.

47:45Now dropping down the pyramid a bit to Sunday League. You know, in Sunday League, it's pretty normal for a few unfamiliar faces to rock up and make up the numbers at the last minute. So when a fella called Adam ran out for Michelover FC in the East Midlands Veterans League, nothing unusual about that. Still, though, his teammates couldn't help noticing there were a few giggles on the sidelines every time Adam got a touch. and there was something eerily familiar about the club's new striker. But it wasn't until his teammates got into the showers and Adam unfurled his enormous nine and a half inch knob that the penny finally dropped.

48:26A star ringer was better known as porn star Kieran Lee. I was going to say he's the face of Brazzers. He's the groin of Brazzers. Yeah. Wow. So we met him. We met him. We went to the porn conference. in Las Vegas. We met him on set. Why didn't you bring me? We met him. People will Google him if you're listening. I will flash up a pic now for video version, but he's quite a familiar face. Well, his manhood or his face? His face as well, but I would like to say, so we were in Dortmund in Germany for the Euro semi-final and a few guys, you know, you sort of meet fans and you're all in a big group.

49:05Few of them recognized him. I just like to place on record that I did not recognize him. Right. Jack was straight over. but you've bashed over to a seat. You've bashed on a scene with him before. And yeah, I know that guy from somewhere. Viewpoint. Yeah. He, he's a big football fan. Yeah. And big, big porn star. Didn't know the upshot. We did check. So we got a pick. Yeah. We got a pick with him. He might have known us. I don't really know. There was a, there was a chant. Wasn't there? Was there not like a, he's got a big dick. Shags when he wants or something like that. I can't remember. But yeah, he's, he's a handy footballer as well.

49:38He's Kieran. Yeah. He's actually, he's been playing for Mikkel overall season he scored like I think 5 and 10 nice yeah I think he actually like possibly could have been a pro footballer but obviously man of many talents when Brazzers come calling probably makes more money I mean definitely makes more money doing that than lower league football I heard his knob was insured for a million dollars yeah yeah imagine that apparently it doesn't cover loss it only covers damage where the fuck have I put it theft and damage third party and fire only

50:12yeah browsers insured it that's amazing yeah i think it was a bit of a publicity stunt because it was when bex got his foot insured his right foot and they were like what can we insure golden balls i was reading about how um kieran got into porn so he was on a lad's holiday in ibiza and they all got hammered and his mates took a picture of his knob and uploaded it to a swingers website and he was 18 and he said like suddenly i was getting all these messages from blokes being like do you want to bang my missus? And then eventually one guy messaged him and was like, look, I'm setting up a porn website.

50:43You want to drag my wife, but on camera and I'll pay you. And he was like, yeah, go on then. So he brazzers? No. So he meets up, meets up, it definitely wasn't brazzers. He meets up at a dogging spot opposite of McDonald's in Derby and shags this guy's wife in the back of a Ford Mondeo. It's a long way from brazzers. Anyway, so it's kind of romantic like the origin story. It's a bit like Beatles and Hamburg. Do you know what I mean? Anyway, he's like, this is good. The money's quite good. So he quits his job as a project manager at Network Rail. Oh, what? That must have been hard to leave. And for the next three years, five days a week, he's with this couple.

51:21Different kind of railing. With this couple? One of them shagging for porn. Doing porn. I think it is mainly with her, mainly in the Ford Mondeo. It's quite a specialist. Wow. I think there are probably some rare copies out there. Vinyl Shops. You start with a niche and then you grow out. There's riches in niches. Anyway, then he, Brazzers, he did freelance for a bit where he was doing 60 scenes a month at one point. 60 a month. Anyway, then Brazzers got in touch and he's been with them since 2005. Real company man. He's loyal. I love that. Yeah. That's like what, he's done two decades. Two decades at Brazzers.

51:58Wow. Yeah. You get gold-plated pension for that, presumably. Love that. But yeah, he reckons he's done six and a half thousand scenes of porn. fucking hell relentless that is that is a lot although he said he said at home with my wife I'm pathetic in bed I'm a two minute wonder I suppose after that amount of shagging can you be arsed to put in effort with your wife it's a bit of a busman's holiday isn't it yeah the last thing you want to see at the end of the day it's like coming home from being here all day and they're coming home and make a podcast how is a podcast hun yeah but he's sort of implying that he like do you know what I mean I thought presuming as a porn star you can kind of control that.

52:36Yeah. Or maybe you just lose control when you're not at work. Yeah. He said also a couple more football connections. He's really good mates with Vinnie Jones. That doesn't surprise me. He said when he moved to America, Vinnie and his wife really looked after me. I bet they did. Vinnie and his wife. Yeah. Let's also look into that one. He's also a massive, massive Derby County fan. So he said, I watch every game. I drive the crew on set mad. I even got them to shoot out of sequence back to front the other day while we were playing Leicester. Wow. what was he money shot first yeah and then what like and then what it's like the preamble later once I've seen once I've seen us visit to the walkers stadium then I'll I'll do the bit when I walk him as the repair man or could he only get off to the site of Hamza Chowdhury patrolling midfield can't come without seeing Patrick Agumay

53:31I read that he has it on on set like on his phone really while he's plugging away. Go on, lads. One eye. Go on, lads. Sorry, sorry. I'm sorry. I'd like to see the expression on some like peroxide blonde Las Vegas porn star with like enormous fake tears. Just having to watch the Rams. There's a Ram joke in there somewhere. Funny he's from Derby though. Derby's the porn capital of the UK. So I have to shout out Dispatch, the newsletter, which they made the observation. I'll link to this. of the OnlyFans triangle. I'll link to their article where basically there's this tiny bit of Derby shit where Bonnie Blue, Lily Phillips and someone else are from, but he's fucking from there as well.

54:13Wow. So no longer a triangle. Yeah. Or a square. Presumably bigger. Yeah. But that's apparently the hotspot for porn. And he said he's, sorry, I've gone very deep on Kieran Lee. You've got the other way around. You've got the other massive porn. Yeah, normally the other way around. But he said he's going to come back to the UK. You know how British porn is? Nothing to be proud about. No. our finest export quite sort of meat and potatoes he wants to come back and sort of introduce the glossy like miami vibe that they've got in america like a proper industry right which i think he should do nobbing's coming home yeah i think he should do that have you ever seen you know um every now and again porn hub does the like publishes like the top categories in each place.

55:01I haven't seen that, no. The top one for five years running in the world most searched terms hentai. Really? Cartoon. Cartoon. It's like the anime one which I've It's always so weird. It's so strange. I'm genuinely asking people watching hentai porn are you are you actually getting off on it? Because I thought it was like jokes. I thought it was like funny. Because it's always like Zach? I mean it's always saying I can honestly say that I've never it's always Simpson yeah yeah never it's always like Simpson do you know what I mean it's like it's like Ralph Wiggum from the Simpsons shanging like you know the girl with one eye from Futurama it's like her shanging Ralph Wiggum that'd be pretty hot yeah she's hot she is that little one eye sorry move on hentai what's number two number one in the UK is bilf is it that's classic if it ain't broke don't fix it it's just sex it's real sort of boomer stuff there's some timeless quality to that hentai's a bit real they're um you know how porn suddenly a while ago became all about like there were just like loads of step sibling stuff step stuff do you guys know what I'm talking about I don't know what you're talking about.

56:25Yeah, me neither. Should we move on? Move on. What, they're banning it? Yeah, they're making it illegal in the UK. Right. When's the ban coming in? It's probably a good time for a NordVPN ad, actually, isn't it? Cut. They do know they're not really step-siblings, right? Yeah. Yes, it is. I think they get that, mate. You said her head wasn't stuck in the washing machine either. She's really got one eye.

56:55But I was chatting to George we worked with about this and he was saying that there was a guy online trying to defend it, saying the only reason they introduced the step thing is because they need some justification for the plot line of why these people are just at home together. Oh, right. It's an easy one. Yeah, because porn never allows holes in the plot. It's always mortar-type plots. I just can't take this seriously. It would never happen in real life. I'll suspend disbelief. Or Ralph Wiggums.

57:26I tell you one fellow who will be fuming at the news of the incest ban Hulk the Brazilian striker not a cartoon yes he's got he's got some good he loves that shit him and the fucking him and Wonder Woman him and Marge Simpson have got a whole catalogue together Marge Simpson I think is the most popular not that I watch hentai porn I don't I think it's fucking weird Marge is number one don't you find she often comes up yeah you do see it shrek as well shrek the wife from shrek comes up quite a lot yeah what was shrek doing there you don't see much of the donkey no i bet i bet there is donkey the donkey and the dragon i bet there is yeah we're gonna get people sending us weird hentai what about finding nemo i've never seen that yeah quite great doing it with fishes yeah I don't think you see much Disney full stop do you it's more like I've seen some Mickey Mouse stuff who's he Mickey Mickey and Minnie Mickey and Minnie did you see like Daffy Duck and stuff Snow White and the Seven Dwarves yeah that'd probably be quite there's a market for that

58:41Aristocats I don't know how Fantasia would work yeah just those like little mushrooms and hammers. Yeah, it would be a mad one. Sorry, Hulk, because he... What did he do? He married... So, for those of you that don't know, Hulk married his ex-wife's niece. Yeah. Which is your niece, by the way. Yeah. I always have this debate with people in the comments. Yeah, yeah. He married his niece. So he's both husband and uncle now. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. They've been together like four years, but they actually got married in January 2025, I read. I said it's all formal. Oh, yeah. And they've got a son called Ian.

59:16which I just find so funny that's with the other one I think that's with his ex-wife he has a son called Ian it's all a bit dodgy but he is still playing football and he's playing his trade over in Brazil for Atletico Monero and by all accounts they are having a shit season so they're 17th in the Brazilian league massively struggling on form and there was one positive and that was the fact that they made it to the Campanato Monero final against Cruzario. So that's what, like state cup? Yeah. It is a big deal there, I think. Yeah, like an FA Cup style trophy. And I always think that it's always good to have a veteran like Hulk in your ranks just in case anything kicks off.

1:00:02You know, you can protect the younger lads just in case they get any shoves. And by all accounts, the final was a pretty boring game. Not much happened. Cruzario went up 1-0 in the 60th minute and it looked like they were taking home the win with pretty much no drama or talking points until the 89th minute. I'm going to show you a clip here. Keepers fouled him. Keepers fouled the striker. He's like rugby tackle. What's the keeper doing to him? The MMA. Oh, there we go. Oh, fucking hell. They're all flying in. Proper ball. So we're talking like 22-man brawl here. The substitutes have come on. Back from stuff.

1:00:49You can see that guy who's like doing boxing. Yeah. Stunts. I will try and highlight. The other keeper. The keeper's run the length of the pitch. They're actually throwing punches.

1:01:05Commentators loving it.

1:01:09Wow, this is one of the biggest balls I've ever seen Everyone's involved That's Oh yeah Fucking hell

1:01:25Oh Yeah, that's Hulk That's Hulk Fucking hell, that bloke's kicking out Hulk's landed the biggest punch though Hulk looks like he is having the time of his life. What's that? He's going after him. Can we hear the guy from behind as well, didn't he? Sucker punch. It's proper. There's at least one guy you see run on trying to split it up, who then like a minute later is just kicking someone. Fuck it. So yeah, Hulk was on the prowl. Hulk smash. and to be honest with you it looks like he's in his element there pretty calm the Brazilian FA have gone absolutely ham on this and there was a total of 23 red cards that's such a good graphic so it was all the players and like a sub or two all the players plus a sub got sent off all of them at the same time so 90 plus 17 apparently there's going to be some really lengthy bands put in yeah including whole covers Including Hulk, of course.

1:02:35And I was thinking that must be the world record for number of players sent off in a match. It's a Brazilian record, but it ain't a world record. So in 2011, a team called Claypole played Victoriano Arenas in the Argentinian Serie A D. And I apologize to Jack, because I've probably butchered the pronunciation of those. I have no idea how you pronounce it. Claypole. It's spelled Claypole. Claypole. And the story is, so there's no rivalries between these two clubs and they've played each other loads before. But a winger from Claypole gets sent off in the first half for an altercation with a defender.

1:03:13And he gets sent off with another player, not that defender, goes off, has a shower, gets into normal clothes, has a bite to eat apparently, and then goes and joins the home fans in the stands. I like that. And as the second half kicks off, it all starts heating up. So like the fans are rattling the cages on the side of the stands. Like the players are going in on each other and the ref just trying to keep it all like sort of civil. About a minute before the game's over, the defender who sent him off then crunches one of his players. And apparently this player in the stands just fucking loses it.

1:03:48So he runs down the stands, jumps the fence, screams onto the pitch and sucker punches this defender and knocks him on the floor, which then causes like absolute mayhem with all the players. and apparently there's a 40 man bust up in the middle of the pitch. This guy has to hide in a locker room before the police come to nick him. 32 red cards in total. All the players, substitutes and the medic got sent off. Love it. Wow. I think that's lazy refereeing though. She's just been like, do them all. Yeah. Everyone got fucking sent off and I don't think that can probably be beaten, can it? No. I think that is it.

1:04:23That is a full house. You've done the medic. Who's left? Nutritionist? Nutritionist. Kitman? Kitman, maybe. The videographer guy. they're like social media intern fuck it mate get off early bath for you mate okay so they didn't quite match up to that no decent effort from Hulk very decent effort to be fair you'd want him in a fight he's a big lad I always remember he kicks it very hard yeah he'd be like I think he'd be your number one to have on your team yeah what football hard man yeah football nah right now I don't know him well enough I mean I've not seen his pun yeah maybe take Vinnie Jones yeah I think he was there's a bit of a sense that he was a bit of a like soft boy Roy Keane yeah doesn't quite doesn't quite back it up I don't know I have no fucking idea I'm not going to dish it out on that front we were talking about Brendan Rodgers the other day on Patreon about how he's he's basically David Brent of football and right on cue Keenan Dewsbury Hall popped up with a great story about at Leicester when Brendan organised a mandatory pool tournament for all players and Keenan said everyone had to join in I was young at the time.

1:05:31I wasn't a first team player, but I was drawn to play against Brendan in the first round. Obviously you're like, shit, you know, Brendan's quite intense. How do I play? And he said, I said to the lads, do I try my hardest? Cause Brendan was going, I'm really good at pool. And I know, and all the lads thought he fancied himself to win the whole thing. Quite a few people watching and I, I beat him three nil and you could tell he was raging. A week later, I got sent out on loan to Blackpool. Fair enough. Don't beat the Gafford pool. There's a Neil Warnock story like that, isn't there? Where he, he gets them all to go bowling and he's like, you know, bowling's a bit fun, isn't it?

1:06:03Let's all put 20 quid in a hat. Winner takes all. They do it. And then as soon as all the money's in the hat, he pulls out his own glove and bowling ball and just smashes them. Throws like a 200. I can imagine him having his own bowling ball. that's great. He goes a bit. Yeah. Anyway, more Brendan Rogers. Fair is always welcome. Yeah. I like that. All right. I think that's all we got time for. I'll send you on your way to Juicy Lucy. yes I'm ready lads with your salient e-sim safely installed yeah I'll get that downloaded are there any other like mad bits on the stack happening we're watching Liam Gallagher tonight tonight tomorrow night sorry tribute act yeah tribute act hopefully and yeah I'll keep you posted if I win any races yeah hopefully we'll have some vids please yeah alright well thanks a lot and if you want to get extra shot every week you have to join Patreon patreon.com forward slash Upshot Towers we'll no doubt be hearing about Benidorm next week yes if I come back if you want to if you want to hear about all that and lots more then see you there but yeah thanks a lot as always see you next time see ya bye
