it.

But it is, you know, a big question that implies with it...
8:29
What you're basically asking is, how come...
8:31
We can know something is a problem and profess to care about that thing being a problem, but not act in a way that you might conclude is the logical conclusion of that.
8:42
It's basically what you're asking, right? And I think that is like implicit in there is a model of how humans act.
8:50
get through life and go around the world and their lives which i don't think is how it actually works like what what you're basically suggesting in there is that we do stuff when we have the right information and where we care about something our behaviors follow it I think that's sort of kind of true, but I think there's so much other complicated stuff going on there.

And you're missing out if you don't jump on this bandwagon.

I start by asking him, "What happens when you put the unhappy couple of climate change and your brain on the therapy couch together?" Here's what he says.
1:33
This is the first time I've, I've sort of anyone's really asked me that question, so forgive me if this comes out a bit, a bit funny.
1:40
I think that, so I've been working on, like, climate stuff for 20-odd years, something like that.
1:47
My background, like, I started off as a climate campaigner.
1:51
You know, oil companies are all bastards.

And, and sort of gradually beginning to dawn on me in that process of like, ah, it's a bit more complicated than that.

Probably the most common question we had from pretty much everybody, this one I've picked from Brett, simply says, "Do we have to sell a player or more by the end of June or not?"

I think the, the revenue that they've made, um, from the Champions League this year plus them, they booked a, a profit on Jhon Durán of 52 million I think after his book value was kind of paid off.
14:48
And they made a really, really handsome profit.
14:49
And I think that may have been the, the big deal which allowed them to get, you know, obviously Asensio in on, and pay, pay wages for Rashford, et cetera.
14:57
But I think that gives them some wriggle room, um, in terms of PSR.
15:01
The only issue is that PSR, the rolling three-year cycle, um, and it took into account for the most recent period of '21/22, '22/23, '23/24.
15:11
The Grealish sale and everything else included meant they were pretty much kind of, um, broke even.
