Matt DawsonGUEST
They don't count the '95 movie at all in canon anymore, because it's just basically a retelling of what they were doing in the TV series anyway.

Matt DawsonGUEST
Um, and then Turbo happened that I think a lot of people dropped off round about Turbo t- after the Turbo movie, because the Turbo movie was, uh, not great.

But, um, uh, there was o- Isn't there that one Super Sentai series that is like universally despised to the point it got canceled about halfway through? I'm sure I saw a Secret Galaxy video about it.

Mike DilkeHOST
But let, first of all, let's, let's bring Matt in Um, and, and his, uh, his story as far as antibiotics is concerned
Matt DawsonGUEST
Yeah, I, um, I unfortunately went through a sort of a, a, a family, a fairly traumatic family incident with, uh, my son who when he was two, uh, this is 10 years ago, um, uh, contracted, uh, uh, meningitis, um, uh, bacterial meningitis, uh, and was rushed to hospital and all those, uh, all the nightmares that, uh, a- as parents you, you f- you wonder and, and, uh, hope that it never happens to your kid, that you've gotta roll the glass and see the dots on the arm or see your, your kid not looking very well and wondering whether it's meningitis, and it, it actually did happen.
Matt DawsonGUEST
Yeah, rushed, rushed to hospital within a matter of, uh, I'm, I'm not even gonna say hours, I think it was probably minutes, he was induced into a, a coma.
Matt DawsonGUEST
And as you would imagine, because of the, um, bacterial nature of the meningitis, um, quite rightly, antibiotics were administered very, very quickly, and the right ... and having the right ones to react to that absolutely saved his life.

Mike DilkeHOST
So yeah, uh, one, one of you, either of you ex- explain what the potential issues are.

Matt DawsonGUEST
Whether it is called mentality, whether it's part of the preparation, that they're-- Whether it's at half time or during the game, for a number of years, England have struggled to identify What's changing within the game so that they can adapt? And a lot of people would label it up to around, oh, they haven't got plan B or C.
Matt DawsonGUEST
It's not always just about plan B or C or D. It's just little moments that you recognize to say, oh, okay, we thought they were going to do this as opposition and they're not.
Matt DawsonGUEST
How do we combat the that over there? And what happened tonight was that you, you know, the t- you know, we know the team would have gone in and they would have sat down, patted each other on the back a little bit and said, "Right, we've gotta ma-- you know, we've gotta do this, and we've gotta do that.

Jimmy PetruzziHOST
Are you okay to share your experience with your lad and how antibiotics were really crucial for him?
Matt DawsonGUEST
With that accent, I'm sure you're reluctant to say that England are going to do well anyway.
Matt DawsonGUEST
Yeah, unfortunately, in 2016, my son Sammy, when he was only two, contracted bacterial meningitis and that sort of parental nightmare of... seeing the spots gather on his body and rolling a glass over it and uh realizing that oh we could be in trouble um and within a matter of minutes we were in a e and he was put into a uh a coma for um a few weeks um and you know lots lots of surgery surgery and dialysis etc um and of course it was absolutely underpinned with um with antibiotics and having the right antibiotics um at that time um speedily was without question what what saved his life so When I read about the Fleming Initiative and their Keep Antibiotics in Play campaign, myself and Rebecca Adlington, Alice Tai, and all kindly supported by GSK, have come together to make the importance of antibiotics now the the reason people of course are going to say why now well you that unfortunately bacteria are building uh your um sort of resistance to antibiotics and if it continues to trend in the way that it is in the not-too-distant future, we are going to find ourselves in a very tricky position where tens of millions of people are going to lose their lives because, quite simply, the antibiotics are not going to be effective enough.

Grace posted it under my door and ran away, and I remember listening to Kings of Leon or something like that.
Matt DawsonGUEST
As you sort of, you, you take it from under the door, and of course the loo is, or, you know, right in the hotel room, r- loo's right there.

It was sort of providing collective representations, collective messages on how we should be acting.
