Ep 170 - Week 1 Poinstravaganza!

Kia ora, fit like and welcome into the fourth and forever podcast.

My name is Stuart Bothwell and I am joined as ever by the Kevin Harlan to my cute little cat that made it onto the Meadowlands that one time.

It's Darren Butter.

Darren, we just had some football.

How are you feeling about that?

I'm very happy about that, Stuart.

I'm very happy about...

Not the football that they play in the UK.

No, no, no.

The football they play in the field.

On the gridiron.

On the gridiron.

With the hand egg.

Yes, with all the

cameras and all the cameras

and the stops start and oh like why have they got all this happening and shut up it's great what the hell was that

cindy sweeney advert and yes it's all really important everyone's having a really important time

is it proper He's in football.

Indeed it is.

I have chosen not to look any further into the Sydney Sweeney advert, which I just heard about, but yeah.

My brother that told me, my brother knows nothing about sports.

So that kind of tells you all you need to know about.

Okay.

Cool.

Cool.

Cool.

Cool.

Well, yeah.

Week one happened down in the NFL.

That's amazing.

It was amazing.

Yeah.

I believe it was the highest scoring week one since the merger, I believe.

Just absolutely crazy.

You had the highest scoring season opener in NFL history with the Bears and Panthers, which I'm sure we'll get talking about shortly as well.

You had a bunch of running backs getting three touchdowns on the board.

You had... multiple quarterbacks running for two touchdowns and passing for multiple as well.

It was a real slobber knocker of a week, Darren.

So how do we go about it? Because we're going to try and sort of trial a sort of different way of doing things here, I guess.

The forward will remain, but the foreback is on the back burner for now whilst we opt to do a more, I don't know, organic and God, it scares me to say this, less organised approach.

Is that fair to say, Darren?

Yeah, sure.

We could probably have Ellington together, but life's busy and, you know, it's always...

It's fine.

I've got a little something together, but basically, for as much as you have a complete lack of organization, my idea of complete lack of organization is three pages of notes rather than four.

But I've structured it in a different manner.

Now, I'm going to say your audio is looking a little bit strange, but I think it's still coming through.

It's a little bit up and down, but as long as we're enunciating, I'm sure we'll be fine.

Enunciating.

You're

well-renowned

as an enunciator, a true cunning linguist of your time.

Absolutely, that's exactly what you are.

So I guess I don't know exactly how we do this, but Aaron, shall I just kind of jump in and do some riffing a little bit way? I

don't know if it's riffing if you

say you're going to riff.

Can it be riffing if you say you're riffing?

I don't know, but I mean, it will eventually be riffing.

as I'm doing right now, but in a really sort of timid-sounding way because I don't quite know what's going to happen here.

But I'm just going to start speaking anyway.
