[Music] Hello, good evening and welcome to the talk and cup. It's towards you the 10th of October. It's international break. Ireland have won a game at the top of international football, which is absolutely incredible. We're going to talk about the tree that has a Liverpool that needs to soil the contract quickly before everyone's head falls off for months. I'm going to do it at myself, Gaff, Ashley, Kevin, and Chris. I'm looking here in the chat because it's a member show tonight so we can talk a little bit about this and people won't get upset. If you have a dog in the vicinity, bring it in the room, let it fucking back. It's a member show, who cares. But is it Megan's birthday? It is. Ah, happy birthday, Megan. Happy birthday, Megan. Happy birthday, Megan. Happy birthday, Megan. It's not a happy birthday and a happy birthday to Emma as well. It's Emma's birthday as well. Happy birthday, Emma. Happy birthday, Emma. It's her birthday. I live more for Emma's birthday outside, isn't it? Yep. It's Emma's birthday today. He shares his birthday with Megan. So there you go. I am nice with it. Happy birthday. Contract, contract, contracts. I seen a clip earlier. It was in a telegram group and it was Trent being asked a question. But I think it might be an ITV spot and it was like, it starts with, what is the fear? What is the fear? And he was like, look, I want to make sure I give it all. And can I have a come to you? I didn't really want to start on Trent. But let's start there. But I want to kind of start on very different. But can I have a come to you first? We watched this clip, right? And it was basically just a player saying, you know, I can be judged on trophies. I can be judged on individual accolades. But I think when I look at myself in the mirror, when the day after it was hard, I want to look at myself and say, I gave absolutely everything from the start to the finish of my career. And that was where I would consider myself a success. Am I wrong here, Kev? Or was it definitely a sign that Trent was basically saying, I'm leaving Liverpool? I think everyone's going to read into things what they want to see. You're going to need a Kev. No, go back a few weeks ago. You go back a few weeks ago, right? You said there'd be nothing announced. There'd be nothing done in the public. And it'll either happen or it won't. I think he can go to probably, there's probably two clubs out there that he could probably go to. All right. Does he want to go and win loads of silverware? If he does, he's got Bayern Munich or Real Madrid. If he goes to either of those two, he's got a 50/50 chance of winning silverware every year. Sell it as long as Bayern Munich. Yeah, he got a sell it. But as long as Bayern Munich ever had a hurricane, he's got a nailed-on chance of winning silverware there. You need to get rid of the canyon. You need to get rid of the canyon. Or Madrid. But if he wants to win stuff in Liverpool, that's what I'm saying. It's his choice. The thing is, he's won everything at Liverpool. There's nothing else left for him to do to win apart from going and doing it again. And it's a calamity that we've ended up in this situation, but at the same time, it's completely understandable. The way the timelines have worked. I think a lot of people are ignoring the facts of what's going on. And this will go for all three players. You're looking at it from a player's point of view. They have been told the clock was going. That was a bombshell for all of them. They might have been negotiating contracts back then. All three of them would have turned around and said, "Stop. I'm not signing a damn thing until I see who's coming in." And from then on, you're like, "Okay, now you've gone to the last few months." So Liverpool are in an audition stage here, really. We're in a really weak position now. Because of where we know. Yeah, once a hit's eight in a month, you're changing at half. But it's not even that. It's the wages. We know we're not going to go with parity to Real Madrid. The illusion is Real Madrid pays absolute fortunes and wages. They don't. Their wage bill is high, but it's not much higher than that. No, they get you for free in the payer's line and I'm free. Exactly. And that will be down to the player. We're not stingy with our wages. Our wages put more salary in the top four or five players in wage earnings in world football. So we do pay. But it's going to be down to him. Does he see a path where Liverpool are going to be competing and winning silverware for the next five years? And that's what the audition phase is. Does he believe that Arnisloff and does the club have the pulling power to be able to attract players to come in? And compete with a man city, a growing Chelsea, and so on and so on over the next five years. If he does, then he'll sign. If he doesn't, then he won't be short of others. Okay. Actually, I just put this up for us. So here we go. Trent says, "You'll only know the morning after you retire and you look at yourself in the mirror and you'll have a feeling of oil or regret or satisfaction while you've achieved." Now, first of all, I don't take that as a regret on where you've moved or where you've played. I think it's what you've achieved as a person. Trent continues. But I don't think you can value that at just trophies or medals, goals and assists. It's more that you maximize the potential that everyone told me from a very young age that I had. And I think he continues again and we're along with putting everything in every single day. But I want to go back to the start a little bit. I'm not moving away from the three players for a minute, a little minute. Actually, I'm going to come to you on this, and I'll get Chris on as well. And Jeff. Okay, you can go fucking last because you've got the fourth question. So, fine. No problem. I love your jacket. So, actually, the club itself, right? You know, we have these three players. They're all on the contract until the summer of 2024. Clop makes his announcement in January 2024. Okay. I think it's January 2024. It may be February. I think it's forever. It doesn't matter. At the time, all three players are less than 18 months left on their deal. Okay. Just taking it at that point, all you feel the club have been shocked with these three contracts. Right? Because when you have Bridge of Android, and I don't care about it, and people will say, "Well, you look, when you go back two years ago, two years ago, man's salary was 21 years of age." All right? He's gone. I don't have to go, he says he's breaking records everywhere. Two years ago, Bridge of Android is 21 years of age, and he's considered the best center back in the World Football. Okay? So, that coin goes out the window. And, again, we're not under the molecular Edwards team. We won't give contracts for so many years and stuff. But, actually, we should have been looking at these in my opinion. In the summer of 2023, I went, "There's two years left on this, and we are not coming out of this car. We're all these lads on the contract." It's as simple as that. Okay? Yeah. I know Mo Salah signs an extension in 2022, I think. It might be 2022, he signs an extension. But, okay, maybe Salah has signed a little bit. But, actually, in that summer, we make Trent voice captain. Okay? I think we make Virgil captain. Okay? Why weren't we sitting down on the ground? Your captain, your voice captain. We want to extend your deals until 2027 and bring Virgil to 24 years of age. Trent will be whatever it will be, 28 years, 29 years of age, I think, right? It's shocking from the four-par global my opinion. Yeah. So, I did a little bit of reading about this this afternoon because I knew we were going to talk about this. And it's been set on other channels, so it's not breaking news. But, I think a ton of this comes down to the structure that was going on behind the scenes and kind of the lack of structure that was going on specifically in 2023 when Julian Ward stepped down. And then you had Shmaka come in and I was kind of under a mis assumption that Shmaka actually had power in this scenario to deal with contracts. And it turns out that he didn't. That power actually stayed with Mike Gordon, but Mike Gordon had stepped away from the football club at that time. And so there was really no one taking the helm in terms of contract extensions in 2023, which is exactly the time that you're talking about these three stars needing to get their contracts extended. So, by all accounts, FSD completely dropped the ball in terms of having someone in control of these things at that time. You know, for whatever reason, Mike Gordon was not around to do those things. And so we really just had an entire year where we had nothing. And what we're seeing now is the trickle down effect. And, you know, you're seeing Richard Hughes inheriting a problem that was never his to begin with. And he's just picking up the pieces that were left behind. And, you know, I hate to kind of put blame on cloth, but he was kind of in a power vacuum at that point in time. And I think that it was kind of up to him to maybe initiate some of those talks. I think, you know, it shouldn't have been on him, but it was. He was the one that had the power at that time. And whether or not he wanted to take that on, he was the leader and nobody was leading the ship. There was literally no one steering the ship during that crucial time period. And I think that's why we are where we are right now. Very fair. Chris, you know, if I was to sit down with one of the main people I live up on and just basically just wondering, I listen, you've been shocking in this last. You know, this should have been done around 2023. And it's not a hindsight thing. Like, I've said it so many times, Chris, when you get to 18 months old, my head goals when it comes to contracts. You know, and a lot of people will saw in them and some people and some people won't. But my head goals were contracts when there's 18 months to go. Do you know the start away. But could Liverpool point to could Liverpool point to things like, look, there was uncertainty on their club in 2020, in the summer of 2023, he met is it summer 2023, he makes very to captain. Yeah. Is it? Yeah, it is. Yeah, it is. Because that's what it is. Yeah, yeah. And we didn't even field it. Yeah. So, could Liverpool point and go, listen, club was there, you know, my garden has stepped away. We, it was dealt around club, you know, players probably a couple of these players probably knew about it. And we couldn't get these contracts over the line because it was uncertainty there. We got to the next stage and then club had to announce he was gone. These players then said, look, I want to see where I am. And the power of the player kind of nearly doubled in effect because not only are you running down the amount of time you have, but secondly, they're now looking at what we're doing. And we're trying to restructure club at the same time. Or do you go back and say, no, hold on. These are probably the three of the most important players you've had in the last six, seven, eight years. And they're all sitting there at 2024, and we should be absolutely nailing down these lads in 2023 and not let it get this far. My thought, generally, is if my garden's taken a step away, which he did because he was looking at potential investment and a few other things that is, you should have had your shit in order before you left. And to me, it's poor manager. People blame the owners that are fishing and what's his face? John W. Henry. Ultimately, my garden and Billy Hogan, they're the top running the day to day club. You should actually order. It's a very old fashion to give a manager that much power. And not have anyone to lean on to it, which is probably why he got burnout. There is some mitigate factors that they probably didn't expect club to leave, so they may have started negotiations with Bandai, and Salah, like a tour point. Understand them, so we want to see what's going on, but not be funny. Whoever the manager is, they've got to want to try and tell them that I'm on. In fact, you made advice, Captain, which basically tells them your heir of parents are being your captain. So, as Kept said, he's whatever he can at Liverpool, but he hasn't whatever he can at Liverpool being the captain and a local ad, like Gerard did. And I'd be honest, you would think that's probably the ambition it is, is I'd love to win the league and chapter the game, but me lifting the trophy as the captain. So, the Trent's the one that I can't really square off, because you could have got it done. And if that meant you'd throw a bit more money earlier, then do you know what? This is what you do when you don't have yourselves in order. You can't just keep using the excuse of, "Ah yeah, but we didn't know this. We didn't know that. Yeah, but some stuff you can plan for." And guess what? Managers do leave, and you didn't know Mike Gordon was going to wait for a bit, and you didn't know you hadn't got a replacement in for Julian Ward. So, you kind of should have got that sorted before you stepped away, or put that on his own ability hug, or whoever, you know, not just go out of a clock set, it's all sorted. So, I'll be honest, if all three... I'm quite blasey now about the whole thing. If they go, they go. Good luck trying to get it organized, and, you know, you'll have very little leeway from fan bases about, "Oh, it's going to cost a lot to replace it. Get a shit. Go get it done." I'm kind of quite blasey about it. It's going to cost you more to replace it than what you're going to trade. Yeah, so I'm a little bit now, put a push it up now. And we can all do the thing about Michael Edwards, and look, Michael Edwards was good at what he did, but people do forget, before Michael Edwards left, we weren't the best at selling players. And the whole model was sell players for a decent premium to reinvest in the squad, as well as using, you know, some other ways of doing it. And when he left, he wasn't fantastic at doing that, because if he was, certain players, the likes of Harry Wilson and all that would have been sold years ago. Because I'm only Harry Wilson went for was a fee he was offered a couple years beforehand. So, ultimately now, there are times you could try and be clever and find value in the market, but you're not at that point now. You now is get the job done or get them sold, and you've already missed the get them sold option now, because then literally, you're going to get them sold, you'll lose them for a free, because no player, and people do there, I'll just sell them. You have to get the player to agree to it. And there's no way the manager's going to make him sit in the reserves. It's not, it's not the 90s now. He's going to get away with doing that now with the money done on. So, it's kind of like it done. The trunk thing I might, opinionally, grab the bit clip I saw was, you can spit it one way, like you were saying is that, as I'm saying, I want to leave with Paul. Or it's him spinning the other way of going, it isn't just trophies, judgemental, so that could be like the Jedi thing of, it means more to win it with your hometown club. It depends on your mood swings that day, especially both ways. That's the thing, and I wasn't being, I wasn't being, I wasn't messing with it. I was like, I was watching it like a complete idiot. I didn't want them to say it like, and spin it one way or spin it. I just looked at it and went, I think he's just been asked a question about football. Like, he mentions in it that he's talking to him, as a half palace. As if he's going to go, do you know what I'm going to do? I'm going to go on the bus here, I'm going to sit down beside as a, and I'm going to tell him he plans for the future. Look, he don't do that. Do you know what I mean? No, he might have got more of a philosophical chat. Yeah, I kind of feel about how do you see what he's saying. Yeah, because as a, as a could be sitting there going, mate, I don't know what the fucking deal here, I'm really, highly rated, I'm a palace, I fucking love it, I love everything about it. But I could go here and have a much better chance and trends gone, mate, you could go there and you could win anything, but how much would it mean to you? You could stay a palace and at the end of your career, when you're a toy, you could look in the mirror and go, you know what, I gave everything I could for my team, from palace, I love them. And I know he's originally a QPR thing, but you know what I'm saying? It could have been Trent talking to Eze about his stuff, and this is the way I just came out. It's a bit of a, again, it's a bit of a man. And just, but also what you don't want it to be is a Neil Axton said this and he's right, in my opinion, is you don't just long go by bollocks. We're obvious, this is last European game, this is the last stand-up player, it's the last stand-up player at the Emirates, because eventually that shit gets tied, and that shit becomes a big distraction. Yeah, I agree. A bit of added pressure you don't need, and in hindsight, looking back, I think the clop, the cloping out to me was leaving, which looked, you couldn't keep that quiet, because it was going to get better. Right, because it was going to get out once it was out. But I think that was playing on players' minds too much, that they wanted to win it for clop, and I think that pressure also told a little bit. Yeah, I listened to the same show you listened to, and I agree with that, I did agree with that as well, because I don't like this long go boys, as I think it was towards him near my ears, and I think he's correct. I think it starts being, I think the football becomes a solid job to, you know, events off the pitch, and that shouldn't be the way it is for the VAS majority to this point. Kev, you know, when we look at this, and we talk about, you know, how bad would a club not to do this, and they could have the same mitigating circumstances. We have to get into the, we have to get into the chat here, Kev, of the clubber, the clubber trying their best, right? And the player are trying their best, and the player is asking for what they feel is fair, and the club might not feel that fair, and this is where you start taking sides, and I'm not a big believer in taking sides, letting do the business and whatever happens, right? But is there an element of it where the club probably taught, listen, we're confident that we'll get this done, right? And I know the player has probably said, look, we want to just see this manager bed in, absolutely fine, letting bed in, we feel, we show you our project, we believe in this manager, and there's a confidence there, which is probably still there. Or do we have to start looking at, listen, the club aren't offering enough money, or the player is asking for too much, and then we're at a loggerhead where we could have said last summer gone, make your money on them. If you feel you're not confident in getting these deals done, make your money, but the player can simply sit there and say, you want to make your money on me? I'll be here left, and I'll fucking sit for a year, and if you want to use me, don't you don't, because I'm getting a big deal in January to go to a Madrid, a boy, and a PSG, whatever it wants to go. But again, this can be spun anyway, Kev, it can be a case of confidence or the right loggerheads, and the player has the power to just sit and go, I'm not going nowhere. And I'm not saying that that's what happened, but you're going to have to bring that scenario up. Look, the business of football is a horrible, ugly thing, and I hate it when it's dragged, when it's done in public. When the last talk of Mo Sala was leaving, his agent, I just blocked him in the end, I blocked him on social media because I just couldn't be bothered with the riddles and the nonsense. At the end of the day, I just want to watch the club, I want to watch the players, and I want to watch the players who want to be at the club. Ultimately, to me, I just had a quick look actually, because Danny Carverhal got injured the other, everyone will have all seen it. Within hours of that injury, Real Madrid extended his contract to 2026. He's on 200,000 a week. Yeah, 220,000 a week. Trent is on probably par. He's on about the same. Trent's on 180,000 a week. Now, he'll be asking for a little bit more than that, but it won't be much more than that because look at Danny Carverhal's record, and the fact that he's one of the best players in the world still at his age. So, I don't think Trent is ever going to leave from money. It's not going to be about money. It's not going to be about the length of contract because he's 25 years of age. If he wants a new challenge, that's one way of looking. If he wants to experience what Gerard didn't, because Gerard was offered multiple times by different managers to go to Madrid, to go to Italy, I think, at one stage. Different clubs in England. Yeah, yeah, plenty of clubs came in for him and he never did. You know, eventually he went to retirement to home in Los Angeles. But maybe he wants to do that. The other side of it is we've seen it this week. Phil Neal was recognized for his achievements at the club. Jamie Carver has 700 now games played for Liverpool. Trent, with the volume of football that's been played at the moment, can hit that number. No doubt in my mind. If he wants to stay at Liverpool for his career, he can become one of, if not the highest, appearance holders at the club, and he will go down forever in a day as a club legend. And the choice is up to him. It's not going to be a monetary issue. Whatever decides that contract with Trent. The other two, I think, is purely and simply down to length of contract. Again, it's not a monetary issue. And I think the club are wary because Virgil van Dyke, 33, still the best center back in the world. The club will have had an eye on Tiago Silva would be my one to look at. When Tiago Silva left PSG, come to Chelsea, everyone said, can he still do it? And he could. He did for a year. And he went, he was at 38. And the cliff came and it fell off. They'll also look at Casamero. Casamero left Madrid. A massive, massive, metal hole. One of the best holding midfielders in the world fell off a cliff when he went to Manchester United. There has to be a bit of nervousness around a 33-year-old Virgil van Dyke offering him. He's on 220 grand a week at the minute. If they offer him the same on a three-year deal, Aaron's a club worried that there's a cliff there for him. Do you see how much we worry about that as well? Yeah, you see, my argument against that is, right? If you're already taken the hit on Virgil van Dyke 220 grand a week, right? So what you're doing is, when you get to 2024, you give him to 2027. What you're saying is you're going to risk 20 million quid on wages, right? Roughly that, 220, around 20 million quid on wages, right? You're going to risk that 20 million in wages, and you might still get a Virgil van Dyke until he's 46 years of age, right? I mean, it'll still be absolutely fine. The bigger risk for me is that you take Virgil 220 and tell him you're not getting it anymore, and he walks, right? Now you have to buy a centreback, right? And if you're buying a centreback, you're paying way more than 20 million quid, right? Oh, yeah. You're paying way more than 20 million quid. Plus, if he's coming into the place, Virgil van Dyke, anyone would like that hasn't got a bidet, or for a brain, is walking into Liverpool going, "By the way, I'm Virgil van Dyke's replacement, and I want 200 grand a week." So now, your risk of 20 million on Virgil, okay, has now turned into 100 million pound risk, because the guy coming in is still a risk, you've never seen him playing in Liverpool short. But if you keep Virgil for two years, you can bring someone in next summer and say to Virgil, "This is your heir apparent. This is the guy, right?" And Virgil, listen, you're going to play 24/24, you're playing. 24/26, you're playing. And 26/27, this guy is going to take over in stages, and you're going to help us. And Virgil van Dyke, at that stage, is 10 years a Liverpool player, and he's Mr Liverpool. I think it's a much, much, much safer bet to go with Virgil and pick your solution, you know, over the next 18 months, rather than going to get rid of him and bring someone in, because it can be a little mitigated disaster. I agree with you, but that's the gamble. The gamble is, do you bring in a Bastoni, for example, pay the salary, look at his age, okay, we're going to have a five-year contract, and we'll probably extend it by two years during the contract. And Virgil goes, and we just turned a page on that part of Liverpool's history. Or do we do it your way? Either way, something's going to have to happen, and the club are in a position now where they're going to have to make this decision. I think he's out of all of them.

I think he's the easiest one to do. Because you look at his injury record, you look at his performance levels, he's the easiest one to turn around and say, "Yeah, we give you three years." Even if you give him three years with an option of a fourth, I don't think he's the easiest. His opinion is he goes on 24th, give him two year extensions on 27th, we're an option to 20th, 28th. And I don't think that we can bring him up to 27th. I think he'd be absolutely fine. And for me, it's one way you're just turning around and you say, "Get it done." Actually, one player, I'm not one player, one person we haven't mentioned in all this is Aaron Asla. And Aaron Asla, you know, this is another's making, 100%. He's coming. He's coming into a situation. It's a bit like Richard Hughes. The only thing I would say is that Richard Hughes and, you know, Michael Edwards, et cetera, et cetera, knew well in advance to your community of a poor. And knew this was our priority. And it's their fucking job to get it done, right? To be blunt about it. Aaron Asla, from his point of view, you know, he'll want to make his own stamp on this squad and that'll come in time and stuff like that. And he's assessed the squad and he was very light on who he brought in over the summer. And he seemed absolutely fine with that. Maybe Zuma Mendi decided. But he doesn't want too many moving parrot here, actually, does he? You know, he doesn't want to, you know, don't give me run. And that was, if you go back, say two seasons ago, and he's coming into this job and he's going to go fucking hell. I don't want too many moving parrots because Kate is gone. Alex Oxley, Chairman is gone. You know, these three or four players are definitely leaving the club. And that was Klopp's kind of moving parrot where he had to bring other people in. But in a new job, Aaron has a slot a year in, doesn't want to have to rip up everything he could possibly achieve in this year and go, Jesus sent that back right back. I've been in the field three of our best players in the last seven, eight years, and now have to start again. And it nearly puts him on the back for regardless of what he does this season. Aaron's slot has to want this sorted as well. Yeah, well, I'm sure he doesn't like having to answer these questions weekly about contract renewals. And I'm sure that he would much rather have these contracts sorted. But, you know, it's worth looking at the other side of the coin, I guess, and saying, you know, it's not my belief, but he might feel like a clean slate is something that might be interesting to him. You know, a lot of those players that we're talking about with it, whether it's Virgil, Trent or Mo, I mean, they're, they're cloth players through and through. And, you know, it just depends if slot is using those players because they're world class and they're available to him, or if he feels like he can really integrate them into what he sees going forward. I mean, you would think, given their qualities, especially their leadership qualities that he would be able to integrate them into a system, but I don't know, I don't know what his head is like and I'm sure F SG would probably make the argument that we all thought that rebuilding the midfield wasn't possible when for being you and Henderson left, and they were able to do that successfully, at least in retrospect, within about one year. So, again, not my perspective, but if you were F SG, I could see the argument about, you know, well, we've done it before we could do it again, what that would cost they don't know. But the thing, I think the one thing that I'm worried about overall is the leadership continuity, especially if we're talking about kind of Robertson and Allison also in the fringes of this team. It's sort of as fading lights, maybe going forward. And I genuinely think that we wouldn't be in a pretty bad place leadership wise if we were to lose three, four of those guys in one season. Maybe you could replace them with up and coming talent, but that, that feels like a lot. That feels like a lot of change to me and, you know, like I said, I can make the argument for F SG, but it's not. It's not, it's not my perspective on things. It's funny you say like the F SG perspective and things, and because, you know, we know how F SG work, what they take in the expense, right? And, you know, if you think about it, if you're going to let like, F SG have no track record for turning around and saying, right, let these three players go, that award, this amount was forget, forget financially. There were this much to us in the soil, and they've no track record to go. It's okay if they go that, don't worry about it. We'll put up the 200 million quid it's going to take to replace them, because they need to replace them. Do you get me? Now, unless you're going to get down the road of, you know, we're going to go, and we're going to go in a 40 million pound centre back because we think he's has the ability to go to a 70, 80, 100 million pound player. And we're going to do the same, a road back, and we're going to do the same with a winger, we're going to go and saw in kudos for 80 million. And we're going to spend 40 and 40, so we're going to spend 160 instead of 200. They've no track record to do on that. And they love, like, it would have been more less, sorry, less surprising if F SG had to turn around this summer and went, listen, put it out there. We're taking off for all these three, because we are not losing our fucking money on them. We're taking 50 million a piece, right? And you can argue the numbers if you want, but we're taking 50 million a piece and we're using that to rebuild this soil. They don't have the track record, it's going to go, let them all go on the end of 2024, because no matter what level people do this season, no matter what they do this season, they can't make enough money. They simply can't make enough money to replace these three players if they are walking on free. They can't, they can't deal with it. Yeah, I agree with that, but I will also counter it with, they do have a track record of letting players go at the right time, where, you know, if they, and again, this, it might be that they don't want to let these players go. They might have looked at their medical history and the numbers that they're reaching right now, and they might have wanted to look at those numbers for this season kind of independently. They're new guys in the building. They might have wanted to see for themselves if Virgil and Mo are worth the money or if Trent's worth the money. But if you look historically at some of the players that FSG have let go, they're big names, but they were let go argue at the right time. You know, they were, you look at Sadio or Firmino or White Eldom, they kind of all, they peaked at Liverpool and then they didn't peak when they left. You know, they gradually declined and they, however they determine those things, they have metrics for doing that and, you know, at some point, we probably will need to just take our hands off and trust the process as much as it might break our hearts. Yeah, I agree. I think it's one of those nearly where you need to see what happens and then kind of get the follow from it and what comes out before you can kind of make it absolute judgment on it as to who don't want or who didn't do what. Chris, we talk about, you know, what these players mean to us both, you know, as a fan or in the team or financially is probably the last one you think of, regardless but definitely here because of the, the length of time left in the contract. We're looking at three zeros here, you know, regardless of how much you rate them. You can't have touched on an area and he said, look, I think VVD might be the easiest one to do. Where do you want this? And look, look, I'll put it out there for a while. I don't think Trent signs a new deal. Right. I just don't think he does. I think, I think we're, we're scaredly close to the cliff edge here, where it's just too late to get positive at all this. Right. I think we're scaredly close to it. I think Trent Alexander Ireland. I actually think Trent Alexander Ireland is probably looking to go on a V, if Van Dijk is captain for the next two or three years, I'll be 29, or 28 being captain. And is it enough? You know, he probably wants to be the whole captain, but the person standing in his way is probably the best of him to ever play with the club. I don't think he signs and I don't think Sala signs or whatever. I'm with Kev. I think the one that does get done is very Javan Dijk because he's captain. And I think he does just something about him where he just wants to end that Liverpool. He wants to be known as Liverpool, the vendor. Very Javan Dijk. You know, that's it. Nothing at the end. I think the other two are really difficult and I don't think they happen, but I'll go around there. I'll start with you. I'll go to Kev. I'll go to actually, I'm going to finish up. But that's where I am on it. I just, I'd love if they're treated, but I think one, and I think it's a maximum of one at this stage. And I want to be so wrong, Chris, by the way. I think it'll be at least two. I think by agree, Trent's the most difficult. It should have been the easiest, to be honest, because it should have been done ages ago. I think the only thing stopping the salad deal getting done is, I don't think it'll be the finances. I think it's the length, whether he was three. Supervergial, too. Yeah, I think both of them are length of contract deals. And I kind of feel there are ways of manipulating that. And even today, it's a two-minute option of the next year, as long as you hit the X amount of targets and, you know, salad's signed, the shorter contract. I mean, the last contract salad signed was shorter than he, than he reportedly wanted. I'm surprised to have quite his agents, but I'm amazed how quite his agents, but even if they're going on a free, he likes to get that, that out there, that this is what we're doing, you know. So Trent's the funny one. I, I sort of flip flop each day, depending on, I think it depends on the mood. As part of me thinking, no news is good news. I generally would say to most people, just my advice, don't get drawn in with a lot of the clickbait check, because it's the easiest thing to clickbait. It's the easiest thing to wind people up on. Even the Paul Joyce thing that came out was a pretty, my non, non-story. All three are at an impasse. Well, a week ago, apparently, up until a week ago, they'd never spoken. Now that I didn't pass as a bloody quick conversation in a week, which is to me, even Paul Joyce have quite a bit behind what's going on. I think by December, all three are sorted, one way or the other. And I think once we know that, I think that'll make life a lot easier. I know it's a very non-committal answer. No, no, no, I don't think it is a non-committal answer, because I think it's a very, I think it's quite a difficult situation to read. And I think it's actually quite a difficult situation to give a definitive answer on, because in fairness, very little as Camille from players or clubs, you know, Salah has said, no, I haven't spoken about it. They are a van Duy hinted at that as well. And Trent has basically said, I don't, I've signed four deals with Liverpool, none of them are made out in public, and this one will be no different. So it's not like he's gone, no, no one's showing me and look the way it is, if you don't, I'm off. No one's said anything like that. So it's so weird. That's what, I think that's why we don't know, because there's so much joining of darts that probably aren't even there, because we don't know. And I think, I think, to be honest with you, I think a lot of people are going to jump on one side of their club or players. No, they're all the exclusives, don't they? I called it. I do this. Yeah, and listen, nobody fucking knows. I mean, you know what I mean? But what I'm saying is, I think people, some, some just want more information so they can go, that's grand, it was definitely fucking F.S.G. that was wrong. That players are hungry by ourselves. You know, people need an extra little bit in order to get there. Like I said, I hope I completely and utterly run. Everything's under control. You know, everyone wanted to kind of get the ducks in the line, assess everything. Everyone seems comfortable where they are. You know, because in fairness, you know, we talk about ambition and we talk about whatever else. Those three players could have went in and did so many things. Aaronislav Fair play, there's no sign in an extension, so I'm always, so I'm always, and Aaronislavs wants to be fucking every 10. You know, next of all, they're looking down. How are we? That's also, so I mean, that's what it is like. When they're in the, what I mean, but that is, like, don't get me wrong. If they've three years left in the day and they send the four of it, it's no big deal. But they're in the height of the power here when it comes to signing on fees and picking the club they want to go to. You don't start away, because if they've three years left on ram and did knock on the door, I'll live up and go. We want that amount. And you give it a fuck off, whereas that's not the case now. And listen, it could absolutely be that case. I think what helps them, I think what helps them is probably how well we started. Yeah. And how well was the set of the, if this was like Brenda Rogers, or even to be our top first year in the front. Fucking envelope everywhere. It was a bit, it was a bit up and down, you know, a bit erratic, you know, because if we decided this season, probably where spurs are, or, you know, fifth, you know, up and down, you manage it. You go, yeah, it's a new manager, you know, we've seen this before and it takes, it takes time to settle in, but that'll probably put them off. The fact it is generally going in the right direction, it's not perfect. We've all said that on the post my shows, despite what some comments think. But you can see, there's a style of play, you can see how that works. And you can see how all three of them fit in their current states. Even Salah, he's playing, I mean, he's been evolved out, he plays anyway. You know, people are obsessed with, he doesn't run another wing and take people on. He hasn't that for a while because he's been more intricate now, more into play. Yeah, he's more avoid playmaker now than he's out. But he's been evolving into that for the last three years, just that, all of a sudden, this last year, 18 months, so-called, he doesn't do that anymore, so he hasn't done that for a while. You know, I think that was always the next development for Salah. Yeah, and I fully agree with you, Kev, you say VB is the easiest one to get on, I agree with you. In fact, he's captain, I think the age is at the position he plays, I think, I still think, you know, very difficult to pick a club to go to, in fairness, I think he's still a court. But his whole situation and where he is at the club right now, I think it's the easiest one to do. I think the Salah, the only thing that holds onto me with Salah is that Salah has a chance. Salah has already won, Galeron is one of the greatest difficult players of all time, but I think the numbers in his head, and goals and assists, maybe soon to sway him. And somebody said earlier, it might have been actually, it could have been, and he is, where the length of time on the deal, he might want a certain kind of, you know, assurances on that. But the trend will not just sit in here and then go on. If you're a Liverpool lad, you're a voice captain, you could be, you will be captain of Liverpool Football Club during your next contract, because that's the amount that they were going to give. And we're still sitting here, midway to show October, where we're being sorted. Maybe I'm not giving him enough leeway here. Maybe he's in the exact same boat, he only wants to see what's going on. But do we expect a bit more of a trend, because where he's from and you don't come to the ranks? No, nor should we. I honestly think that people, fans, we're all guilty of it. We still think the players look at the club, like fans look at the club. They don't. It's a job. It's a contract. It's business. And they'll look at it and they'll take it from what it is on its merits. I think there's more to it with Trent. I can see a world where all three extend. I can see a world where all three leave. And either way, someone's going to get hung out to drive for it. But I think Trent and Virgil stay. I think Mo's already been replaced. OK. I think Federico Quieza is going to be the one that looked towards this year to see if he's capable of starting in that right-wing sloth from next year on. And then Liverpool will look to utilise the Salah wages elsewhere in the squad. But they've already replaced Alison, because Alison had begun next summer. They'll look to see if they can reinvest that wages into a left back and maybe bring in Gorka as type striker. Do you think Ali and Keller are going next year? Yeah. I'm leaning that way as well to be fair. Yeah, I'd be gobsmacked. I would be absolutely gobsmacked if Alison is still at the club next summer. It'll be an ultimate failure of the club to have him as much as I love him and as much as I think he is the best keeper in the world. His hamstrings have made a glass. You spend $35 million on bringing in his replacement. You're not spending that type of money to sit him on the bench. You see, the reason I'm leaning towards is because I think the situation that's going on right now has gotten a shine a light on what could come down the line. He's the next big taxi after rank, and he's the one on the contract in 2027. And next summer we're sitting on, he's two years left. And the January after that, we're going, he's 18 months left, and then we're all at sea. We're a goalkeeper that can still command quite a bit of money across Europe or whatever he wants to do. And I think the guy that's brought in, originally it was meant to be two-year loan with Bahmert and stuff like that. I'm with Kev. I think both of them live next summer. I think Alison and Kelly Hargal, and I think you'll end up with Mamriely and Yaris as your two main goalkeepers. And that's not me wanting to order them to live. You know, people need to get that right because people think, "Oh, he was on that podcast and he was saying he wants both of them out." Not true. What I'm saying is just looking at the way the ground has been laid here. That's where I think it's going to end up. They both ended in 2026. Is Alison a 2027? Yeah, but Alison, I think it's 2026, but the club have an option on a year, I think. I could have sworn Alison, 2027 as well. Yeah, but look, I think next summer you'll see the page turned on the most successful year. The most successful era that Liverpool football club have had in recent years with players going and new players coming in. It'll be a brand new chapter then. But then slot will be a year it. He'll be bedded. The style of play will be nailed down. Then you start looking to add. I think Kiesa was an opportunistic deal that was too good to turn down. He is a top quality player. Is he on Morsala's level? No. Nobody else is either. Morsala is the one that the standard is set by. It's easy. Are they still walking out of his fitness to get him right? Or is he okay and then you're injured? He got a niggle, but I have a feeling they're looking to build him almost like rebuild him as a player. Physically get him absolutely. They don't need him now. We don't need him at the minute. But what we do need him is to be physically at where we need him to be for the next few years. They brought him in. They paid a reasonable fee for him. But they put him on 150 grand a week. They put him on parrotty with Alexis McAllister, Ryan Gravenber. He's not good money. So I think they brought him in with a nigh to Morsala going. And even if Morsala says to say, "I mean, look, we've all gone." Mors dips in form. You know, they're there. So you have to look at contracts at the moment and say, "Almost with a caveat of what have you done for me lately." It's like, you can't look at Morsala is not going to produce the goals that he produced in his first year or two at the club. He's just not. That player doesn't, isn't there anything. He's constantly amongst... Morsala scored in 24 goals in our competition to every season. Yeah. He probably will. And that's fine. Can you replicate that? Can you replicate that across the other five players? And that's the questions the club are going to have to answer next summer. They're going to have to work on a way of replacing him with having six forwards at the club who combined can give you 85, 90 goals. They'll have to look at it that way because they know they're not going to... I think the days of... I mean, Holland is the exception, but across the rest of the league and across Europe in general, it's a combination that. Goals are coming from a combination. They look at a forward line rather than an individual. And I think the way that we're going to start looking at when we come to a real place, we looked out with Morsala. Nobody saw that coming. Nobody in the wildest dreams thought that he was going to be this. So you hope you get lucky with whoever they bring in that they kick on and become a world-class player. But ultimately, you're going to have six forwards, six, seven midfielders, eight defenders, three keepers. And it's a case of building a squad and to get a commitment for the squad to say, "Clop was always saying it. You signed on for this 12 months and then we'll assess it again." And that's what the club will do. Everyone has signed on for this year and then it'll be assessed at the end of the season. But yeah, I think Tuesday. I think Trent stays and I think Virgil stays. Okay. Before we finish up, I have to give you a shout to football brothers who do sponsor shows on this channel. And funny enough, the latest record from, or the latest often from football brothers is a signed and framed Trent Alexander-Arnold jersey. We're a nice picture collage as well. Tickets cost $3.94. You can get them at a link that's in the show description, whether you're watching there or listening there. The link to the show is there and you can, all the description and you can see at the very, very top. We've got some stuff from Hippia, Agar, Quanta, Karagar, Aribeloa. There's a lot going on in this place, a lot going on in this place. And in fairness to them, they're supporting cash for kids as well. And so I think it's something like 20% of all sales from this kind of promotion. The Trent Alexander-Arnold goes to cash for kids as well. So that's good of them to do that. Before we go, one, two or three to go to stay. You didn't ask me about any of them. Well, although I'm going to ask you, don't worry about it. I'm going to ask you, I'm letting these lads think. I'm letting these lads think. One, two or three to go, right? Or one, two or three to stay, whatever way you want to do it. Actually, when it comes down to these players, I am on the opinion letting three go is absolutely criminal, right? It's criminal. I think it's criminal. I think it's criminal. I think it's being criminal. Roy Trill. Dude, you can't see trade on golf. Hey, it's Austin James.

But I actually think that all three of them are sort of cogs in a moving machine. Where if one doesn't stay, that might actually allocate money for the other two. And I think that one being Trent. I think, like, listening to Kev talk about Kiesa. It's actually interesting. I kind of agree that they did sign him as a bit of a replacement for Mo, but I don't necessarily think that that means that Mo is at the door. I think what it means is that Mo doesn't have the power he would have otherwise had in contract negotiations. Because I think if we had no one and our understudy was dope, I think Salah's agent and Salah himself could probably make the argument that you're screwed without me. And I think with Kiesa, it's like Salah no longer holds all the cards. So I think that actually becomes very interesting. And I think that you could actually see Salah extend, but maybe not on the money that he would have otherwise been asking for. I think Virgil is probably the easiest one. And I think it might be one that they in the long run decide that's the one we're going to do to appease the fans and to also keep the leadership going in the club. Because if Trent goes, you might be talking about replacing Captain and Vice Captain in one season, and that would be horrible. And you'd also be, you know, if we're talking about Allison, you're talking about maybe your third choice captain or Robertson, maybe your fourth choice captain. So Virgil might be there to keep some continuity. So yeah, I think they're all moving parts in the same sort of machine and I don't think it's as cut and dry as we are. It would be nice to just be able to be like, oh, yeah, this is what's going to happen. But there's still a lot of things that could happen over the course of the next couple of weeks and months. I just think that we're all going to have to sit and be patient about it. Yeah, I agree with you, but I don't agree with you. I think the patience is wanting to know at this stage. You know, and the funny thing is like, I don't think anyone's doing any, doing themselves any favors, but just running so long. If they saw in deals in the middle of December, people are like, yeah, brilliant. And then then you get people going, oh, yeah, but look how long it's up to them to get that deal done. Like next summer, if an offer comes in, Ram, which I reckon Trent might go, you know, it's gone. No matter what, it can be spawn again anyway. Yeah, absolutely. If they all signed December, it'll be, well, you were fucked in January then. I'm not signed to anyone in January. That's the next conversation. If they don't sign in December, though, January is going to be like, oh, is Real Madrid are real coming in to buy Trent in January? Yeah, it's, it's, I just think it's, it's so, I just, I think it's so tricky. And again, I think it's a mess. It is a mess. And I think it's a, it's a mess that does, there is loads of mitigating circumstances with the, the farmer manager and his, his predicament and the, you know, the change of power within the club and the change of pressure down in the background and stuff. But like, it should have been, it should have been really up there with the clubs, you know, by, and even more so when you got, you got a whisper of problems with club or whatever and potentially they did in the summer of 2023 that I think the club should have went. I think the club should have went and said, Roy, listen, we need to get all this fucking there down here because we don't know what's coming down the road with managers and stuff. But anyway, go on. I'll start with Kev. I'll start with Kev. Look at the. One, two, three, Kev. Many. Two, three, one goes. Two stays. One guy. I think salad goes the other Tuesday. Cool. Chris. You're reading Matt in the comments here. Matt, Matt's in the comments. VVD, give him four years of 300 grand. Give Trent six years of 300 grand. I think VVD and salad get two years. Trent gets six. I want Matt's payment. Yeah. So the way I did fucking drugs. Bad ankle injury is actually doing great things. Did he, did he, did he injure his ankle? Yeah. Yeah. It's pretty badly. It looks like. I don't know. It looked like it might have happened on his birthday or the day after. I'm not sure. On Emmett's birthday. You happened on Emmett's birthday. I don't know. It must have been a wild party. Was it in Walker? Was it? No, I think it was. Do we need to go through this right now to find out exactly what happened? I think we might have to ask him. He's also doing it anyway. So I know the loop here because of being very busy. So tell me what happened here. Did he just report an ankle injury and leave with attack? He's got a brace on his leg. I gave over. What did he do? I'd say he fell over. He's on the baby meds. He says, "Great three ligaments spring, day after turning 40. Stepping out of a piece of farm equipment." Oh, here we go. Claim. He jumped off the tractor. For God's sake. Claim. There's a claim. That's all I'm going to say. One of the greatest TV adverts of all time. Where does blame? There's a claim. There wouldn't be favorites. You know, these ones where they put the camera really low down on the floor. And then what they have is they've looked at this wet floor cone, yellow cone. And the background is all blurred out. And you see this woman. You can just see a blurred version of a woman in a business suit coming down the stairs. And then she turns the corner. Slips, falls, fucking wrong. She could simply get up and go to walk. But she doesn't. And a hundred grand. By the way, right? Completely off topic. Who were you asked? Actually, I haven't asked you how many stay. Because I'm sort of melt. I want to talk about. I think two of the three stay. I think that... Oh, actually. I know. Well, I want all three... Don't mind him, actually. He's only doing that because... You're all free to stay, though. I'm not influenced there. I do want all three to stay. Oh, it's all long enough, actually. That's it. I think Trent's head is turned. And I think that if Trent goes, they might actually extend Mo. I don't... I think if Trent stays, then Mo doesn't get the extension. And it's just Virgil and Trent. So I think... Like I said, it's sort of like a seesaw. Where one influences the other. I'm going to have to... I'm going to have to get a definitive answer over here. Who stays? I think Mo and Virgil actually stay. I think Trent goes. I think Virgil stays and the other two go. That's what I am. And that's that. Anyway, more important things, right? I was watching CNN last night because the big storm... Oh, yeah. Right? I tried to watch Fox. My God. The most miserable share of people you will ever come across. What's going on there? There was a guy sitting there and he was just like this. Yeah, there's a storm coming. Yeah. And I was going to hit the land and it's going to be very, very bad. And I was like, did this guy's face move entirely? He was about 70. I was like, he hasn't got both of us. Both of us, apparently. Both of us said that. Honest to God, right? So bad. So I was like, can't watch this. CNN went on to CNN. And I was like, yeah, it's not bad. And, you know, the coverage is good, right? But then the ads are fucking incredible, right? Because when I was watching the World Cup... Because when I was watching the World Cup, right? And CNN was all about the fart. Oh, I'm so sorry. Right? The fart and the this and that, right? But then it was like... So I really liked those ads because you know what was coming. It was like all the big, all the trucks, right? There's all trucks during the World Cup, right? Because most of the men are watching the World Cup. And then it's like, shout them fucking trucks. They'll buy them during the World Cup. We just kill. This one, these were ads for all these different... Two types of things, right? One, they actually made guys ready go. See that Senator? He's a fucking prick. Don't vote for him. He's terrible. Don't vote for him. I'm fucking telling you. And it was one where it was like... I thought it was like a clip for a Netflix show. But it was like... See, Dr. Dominguez is awful. Don't gonna hear him, right? And I was like, is this fucking real, right? So then the next round of ads came around. Clearly, they'd move away from the political shit. But you can do an ad where you can just go... Your competitor is a fucking asshole. Which is incredible, right? Yeah. But the second round of the stuff is for our medical gear, right? Tablets. And that's what reminded me of my... Tablets and stuff. And it's like... Now, listen. These tablets are the business, right? They're fucking great. Take them. Like, they won't be a bottle with you. But... If you've shown signs of heart attack, fucking stroke. You know, if your whole body goes numb, right? And these soil effects can happen. I was like, fuck me. They always say it really fast at the end, too. Yeah, but the thing is like... It's like... What is wrong with Mary? Mary has an ulcer, okay? Mary, take the age of your grand. But just to let you know, right? Your trade deals are for possible death, right? Or literally your whole body's gonna go numb, and you're gonna be found dead in your garage a week later, because you enjoy it. A fucking starvation. But listen, play with the entire list of fucking great older ones. It is amazing, isn't it? Well, then they'll throw it off with an ad for, like, triple stuffed pizza crust something that's gonna give you diabetes. Yeah, yeah. And then they'll give you, you know, the attorney that will then help you. Yeah, better card songs. Even at that is great. But it's like... It must be a thing, it must be a thing, right, where they go, "Listen, basically they went out about tablets, and Mary may die of starvation because she's collapsed in her garage because her whole body's gone numb from these ulcer tablets." And people are sitting at home going, "Fucking poor Mary." But they're not thinking about the fact that she's dead. It was that she died hungry. So then they bring in the field straight away, and people go, "I'm absolutely starving." Right, so what I'm gonna do is I'm not fucking really dumb enough. Right, 'cause I'm not gonna be Mary. Mary is not gonna fucking get the better of me. It is so fucking good. It's so... Like honestly, forget programs where you know people go, "Watch the wire, watch fucking Sopranos, watch Breaking Bad, watch whatever." Right? Or whatever the news when they was in Penguin or whatever. Don't, don't. Pick anything on the US TV, right? Disregard what a fucking is, and just watch the fucking ads. It is... It's fucking so good. And do you know how people go in? YouTube, you should do "Watch Alongs" for American football, and think, "Don't watch fucking standard US TV, and just comment on what the fuck is going on, 'cause it is absolutely incredible." It's been new for everything. If the miracles were alive at all over here, it's fine. Yeah, yeah. But now, I have to say, really, I have to give a mention, I have to give a shout out to Sky News in the UK, who are covering the storm, whatever the worst part of it. Okay. Okay. It was a storm. Why do you call it a storm? It's a bit of wind. Great drawing. If you put your washing out on that, it would be dry. Hurricane Milton. Hurricane Milton. Awful name. Milton, of course, being like a disinfectant for kids' bottles and then, you know, when they're kids. Anyway, I was watching the Sky TV, right? Forcing's forced. They've put a fella out in the storm, right? And literally, like, the lightest range I could find. It's nowhere. Refuses to wear the fucking hat, right? That's the first thing. So, they cut to this guy who's on a bowl in the harbor in fucking Tampa Bay, right? And they're like, yeah, this fella, such and such is his name on TikTok, right? And they go to him and they're like, "Pink, where is he?" You can see the bowl, right? There's no sign of this, right? Next of all, right? A zip opens on the top of the bowl, and his head just sticks out from the zip, right? It's like something, you know, like, you can put your head in your jumper and pull the zip down. This head appears, and he's like, "Yeah, man, I'm going to stick it out." Or, "That kind of can survive. It won't be a problem." Or, like, "Why?" Right? Anyway, that's weird enough. So, next of all, it cuts back. Next of all, it cuts back to this girl, and she's like, "You know, President Boyd, as Basie said, it's a matter of life and death. What you basically need, if you're staying where you're staying, get a permanent America, write your name, your fucking address, your next to kin on your arm, because if you stay, you're going to die, right? So, we need to know where to send the body, right? And it's like, "Yeah." And given all these ones, next of all, we cut across now to Mick, whatever is fucking, whatever his name is. And he's like, "He is in whatever was happening." And he goes, "And he's going to stay there." And he's standing there, right? So fucking happy with himself. And he's just like, "Yeah, yeah. My house has made a concrete. And it's got a really nice roof on it." And I have some food and I have some battery packs. I have a GPS unit in case my body floats away. And people know where my body is. And they're like, "Yeah, but you know what? This one is coming up." "Yeah, but I don't have kids and our wife. And this is my homestead. And, you know, I'm just going to see how I get on." And then your woman just keeps coming back and going, "Yeah, but do you realize how fucking dangerous this is?" And he's like, "Yeah, like, we did have a storm. We did have a storm. Have you met people from Florida ever?" But this is going no matter how bad the information got, right? He just kept going, "Yeah, you're dead right in what you're saying." Because then at one stage he goes, "Yeah, we've had water in the house." I think it was maybe flavorful. Maybe flavorful water the last time. But look, we've had water. It's fine. Drains away. It was a lot. And I was like, "Fuck it. Drains away. Do you realize that I'm out of the water? That's getting into the fucking foundations of your deadly concrete house?" Like concrete houses fall over me. They're not impenetrable. You know what I mean? It was just mad to watch. Just part and parcel of living in Florida. It's so fucking good. So from now on, I don't want to have any recommendations on this show. It was great. I want to know what channel shows the best ads. What's the best advert you see? Yeah. So literally, I'm not lads between the four of us, right? No one's listening. I'm not going to let me on my IPTV now and I'm just going through USTV and I'm just fucking hitting it. And I'm just sitting there watching the ads. And I just find it incredible. So what's an airline? I'm going to give you top 10. But definitely the one where you kept saying, "Take the tablets. Death is over here." The soil effect. It's only a soil effect. It's not a death. You won't even have to watch for very long. Like, you can turn that on any time of the day and you'll be able to see those advertisements. It's so fucking good. It's over. But your man, your man that had the concrete houses were standing there and he looked like you put a brand new t-shirt on. He was just so fucking happy. And I was like, "You're so happy. Because your house made a concrete and there's a good roof." Did you see the other guy just strapped his house to the ground? Did you see? Yeah. I looked at all what happened the next day. What do they call it? The strappings that you put on the back of your truck basically. Yeah. We just bought a photo there and went, "Mary, fuck that over the top of the house there and I'll toy it to the nearest tree." And we were like, "You'd be absolutely fine." They've got little pegs in the outside of their lawn that are there for that purpose. Yeah. And they do that all the time for hurricanes. It's just a normal thing they do. It's okay. I know it's okay. I know it's okay. It's okay. Look, the early version of that will be, there's a big storm come. What are we going to do? Some will go and get shrink wrap, pallet wrap. And we're just going to fuck a pallet wrap the whole house. They do that too. And if it blowers away, at least it's all staying together and we can just bring it back and we won't go. It's amazing. You look at the stadium. You look at the Tampa Bay stadium. That roof was wrecked on it. But that roof isn't like a metal roof or anything. It's like a nylon material that they cover over the stadium as a roof. Because you can imagine it's an indoor stadium, but it's not. It's not like the Millennium Dome or the Millennium Stadium Mccard. This roof is kind of designed that if there is a hurricane, it will blow away. Yeah. It's just a way. But I know a guy who was in Fort Myers. And he was in his RV. And he strapped it down. And asked how did what happened? What is that? He said to strap the anchors that are next, that are on next. It sounds incredible. It's something. The anchors are six feet deep into the ground. And then it's like 10 truck straps along the RV. And it's literally tied that, talked to him today. And it was absolutely fine. He said it was shaking a bit, but he survived okay. He said the only thing he was really worried about was if a tree fell, and it was debris that might smash the windows. Yeah. That was quite a fucking fertile trees around me now. Maybe an issue. Well if fairness, you go and look at the videos from Florida today. Most of the palm trees are fine. The palm trees, they don't really blow over that much. Yeah. I may be staring at stuff from trees. Maple, maple, oak trees, all of that stuff. That will fall. But then you look at the amount of crocodiles that end up in places from room. Don't get me wrong. It's not a funny situation. It's just some of the stuff they deal with. It's just bananas. That's the most good thing with all of this. Considering the last storms, you know, like over 200 people died. This time the warnings were like, you know, if you stay right, your social security number and your name on your app, because you will die. Yeah. You know, the warnings were blunt. And so far, I don't know what it is, but I think the number fits. It's really low. So it just got the warnings worked for once. I see a lovely high warm and starry on CNN where one woman traveled 20 hours in a car across four states because our granny was in her house on her own. And they didn't want to leave her on their own. But again, it was so amazing. Like they go and pick up the granny and they're literally in the driveway. And there they go. And next thing, the girl in the newsroom has like, you know, she's on Zoom with them. And the girl and her mother are in the front seat. And the granny is in between the two seats at the back just like this looking in. It's just bananas. It's like, there's no time to be doing this. You've collected your grandmother to get her safe. And then you're doing a fucking interview on CNN. You know what I mean? It's just before you leave the house. Like, oh no, listen, we've come to collect you. CNN are on the phone. Relax granny. You'll get fucking armed. We just need to do this interview. But it's honestly mad stuff. But they don't care. They just don't care. They just do it and go, yeah, that's us. What are you going to do? And people go, no, continue on. Because it's one of the greatest things I've seen in a long, long life. It's not the whole kind of the storm, but just the odds on the tally. I'll take the odds on the tally. Listen, just keep doing them ads and I'll pray every day for no more storms in Florida. That's the only deal I can do. Well, we have to go because we're going to run away and be safe with these stories. There's another thing I wanted to talk about, but I can't remember now because I'm so excited about the odds on the US TV. 40 fucking two years of age. That's great.
