[00:00:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Hello FUTies and welcome back to FUT IN REVIEW.

[00:00:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Buckle up because we've got some huge news for you and trust me, this is going to be

[00:00:11] [SPEAKER_01]: the biggest season yet.

[00:00:13] [SPEAKER_01]: We're in season 7.

[00:00:15] [SPEAKER_01]: We've been working around the clock to bring you more and more content, better experiences

[00:00:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and fresh new shows.

[00:00:22] [SPEAKER_01]: So here it is.

[00:00:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's dive right into the changes.

[00:00:25] [SPEAKER_01]: You've been waiting for books.

[00:00:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't do this alone.

[00:00:28] [SPEAKER_01]: My name is John and I'm joined by my dear friend, you know him as the FUT IN REVIEW

[00:00:32] [SPEAKER_01]: Teddy Bear, it's Nolan Hallardan, Chris aka Grandpapa Mac.

[00:00:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello Chris.

[00:00:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello my friend.

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_02]: How are you?

[00:00:40] [SPEAKER_02]: It's been an absolute age since we've done this, isn't it?

[00:00:44] [SPEAKER_01]: You still know how to start that microphone though?

[00:00:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, doing my best.

[00:00:49] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you hyped for the game?

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's start with that.

[00:00:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Oh, I am buzzing me.

[00:00:52] [SPEAKER_02]: Absolutely buzzing.

[00:00:53] [SPEAKER_02]: I see that the ratings are out tonight.

[00:00:54] [SPEAKER_02]: We will not spoil anybody's Friday by looking at them.

[00:00:58] [SPEAKER_02]: There's some weird ones in there and there's also some mega players in there as well.

[00:01:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:01:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I am so hyped for this game, but I'm even more hyped for a new FUT IN REVIEW season.

[00:01:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Season 7, Chris, 620 episodes behind us.

[00:01:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's go into another 620, but let's not do 620 this year, shall we?

[00:01:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll do our best, but you never know, it might be close.

[00:01:22] [SPEAKER_01]: We might, but let's get into that shortly.

[00:01:24] [SPEAKER_01]: So Chris, tonight I wanted to talk about everything we're changing for the new season.

[00:01:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So we got one week left when we're recording this until the game releases in, well,

[00:01:36] [SPEAKER_01]: pre-release, I guess, or early release, early access, that's how you call it.

[00:01:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll talk the game next week and from September 20th on, we'll be doing all

[00:01:48] [SPEAKER_01]: these new goodness things we're going to talk about today.

[00:01:52] [SPEAKER_01]: So just dive into it.

[00:01:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's do that.

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Awesome.

[00:01:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris, change number one.

[00:02:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a deep dive.

[00:02:03] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a big one.

[00:02:04] [SPEAKER_01]: It's daily content, Chris.

[00:02:06] [SPEAKER_01]: You hear that right.

[00:02:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Every single day from Tuesday to Saturday, you wake up at 7am UK time to find a brand

[00:02:15] [SPEAKER_01]: new episode waiting for you and of course for our patrons.

[00:02:18] [SPEAKER_01]: You'll get it early.

[00:02:19] [SPEAKER_01]: The same evening we record it and it's our way of giving back to the people who support

[00:02:25] [SPEAKER_01]: us the most every day's food and review day now.

[00:02:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And we kick off these daily shows from September 23rd onwards, right after the

[00:02:33] [SPEAKER_01]: game hits early access.

[00:02:35] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris, that's a big commitment, right?

[00:02:38] [SPEAKER_02]: Deep breath, John.

[00:02:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Big deep breath needed for this one.

[00:02:40] [SPEAKER_02]: We've done it before.

[00:02:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's tough, but we want to do it for all our loyal listeners out there, our

[00:02:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Patreon members or Discord members as well.

[00:02:47] [SPEAKER_02]: It gives us a chance to be fast on our feet.

[00:02:50] [SPEAKER_02]: Sometimes we feel with the shows that we can be a little bit behind the ball, you

[00:02:54] [SPEAKER_02]: know when something mega happens so it's going to be coming to you in your ears

[00:02:58] [SPEAKER_02]: in the morning.

[00:02:59] [SPEAKER_02]: 7am did you say, John?

[00:03:01] [SPEAKER_02]: 7am UK.

[00:03:02] [SPEAKER_02]: 7am UK.

[00:03:03] [SPEAKER_02]: So it's going to be amazing guys.

[00:03:05] [SPEAKER_02]: You're going to want to tune in.

[00:03:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You won't want to miss anything.

[00:03:08] [SPEAKER_02]: John, you're going to talk about the format of the shows as well, but I just

[00:03:10] [SPEAKER_02]: think it'll allow us to be that little bit lighter on our feet and we can react

[00:03:13] [SPEAKER_02]: to. Undoubtedly, there will be some controversy in FC25.

[00:03:18] [SPEAKER_01]: 100% of this.

[00:03:20] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you think you are most excited about when we ask about delivering

[00:03:24] [SPEAKER_01]: daily fresh content?

[00:03:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I love speaking to the listeners, I'll be honest with you.

[00:03:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I absolutely love speaking to those guys.

[00:03:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's what I'm looking forward to.

[00:03:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm looking forward to sharing my views.

[00:03:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Not always that we agree, John.

[00:03:36] [SPEAKER_02]: We are still disagreeing about high pressure even late into the game.

[00:03:40] [SPEAKER_02]: We're still having a wee dig at each other in our Discord as well.

[00:03:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So that's what I'm looking forward to.

[00:03:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm looking forward to interacting with all our listeners.

[00:03:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:03:48] [SPEAKER_01]: So just go rolling on, rolling on, rolling on.

[00:03:51] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, definitely.

[00:03:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, the thing is to say when something happens, you know, if it

[00:03:55] [SPEAKER_02]: happens on a Tuesday or a Wednesday, sometimes it won't be until Friday we

[00:04:00] [SPEAKER_02]: can react to it.

[00:04:01] [SPEAKER_02]: We now have that ability to tell you exactly what we think.

[00:04:04] [SPEAKER_02]: As you know, in this show, we can be critical, but we are never

[00:04:08] [SPEAKER_02]: negative. So you will always get an honest opinion from this show.

[00:04:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, definitely.

[00:04:13] [SPEAKER_01]: And now we're closer on to everything that happens.

[00:04:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So I can't wait for some of the content mistakes this year.

[00:04:20] [SPEAKER_02]: You never know, John.

[00:04:21] [SPEAKER_02]: There might be none.

[00:04:23] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it could just be you and I talking and saying how wonderful EA

[00:04:26] [SPEAKER_02]: is.

[00:04:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I got a message saying if you guys go daily, does that mean EA doesn't

[00:04:30] [SPEAKER_01]: make mistakes?

[00:04:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm afraid of you guys talking about it.

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_02]: Who knows?

[00:04:33] [SPEAKER_02]: One thing for sure is if someone's going to spot it, it will be our

[00:04:37] [SPEAKER_02]: good friend, Invi.

[00:04:38] [SPEAKER_02]: He spots everything.

[00:04:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:04:42] [SPEAKER_01]: Number two, though, and this might seem a small one, Chris, but it's

[00:04:46] [SPEAKER_01]: a huge one for us.

[00:04:47] [SPEAKER_01]: We are moving everything from Food and Review to its own social

[00:04:52] [SPEAKER_01]: starting September 13.

[00:04:54] [SPEAKER_01]: That is when we record this episode.

[00:04:57] [SPEAKER_01]: All updates, content, community goodness will all be over at

[00:05:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Food and Review on X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, et cetera.

[00:05:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you know why?

[00:05:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Because after 600 episodes plus, 620 so far, it is time to let Food

[00:05:12] [SPEAKER_01]: and Review shine even brighter on its own stage.

[00:05:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So the food coaching platform has been massive for us.

[00:05:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Like last year we had a couple of TikToks that had literally

[00:05:23] [SPEAKER_01]: millions of views and that does help the show.

[00:05:25] [SPEAKER_01]: But we know Food and Review can be even bigger when it stands

[00:05:29] [SPEAKER_01]: on their own feet.

[00:05:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So hit that follow, hit that subscribe and let's go because

[00:05:34] [SPEAKER_01]: well, we definitely need some growth on these channels.

[00:05:36] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris, what do you think?

[00:05:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Is there something you are nervous about like I am or are you

[00:05:41] [SPEAKER_01]: ready to just watch Food and Review grow even bigger on its own?

[00:05:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we're ready for the growth, John.

[00:05:46] [SPEAKER_02]: I think the InReview brand will be absolutely massive as we're

[00:05:49] [SPEAKER_02]: going to talk about later as well.

[00:05:50] [SPEAKER_02]: But having it just in the one place, you know, people love

[00:05:53] [SPEAKER_02]: your TikToks when you said the wrong buttons as well.

[00:05:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Was that deliberate ploy?

[00:05:57] [SPEAKER_02]: Was that one of those EA quirks that you put in there?

[00:05:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Who knows?

[00:06:00] [SPEAKER_02]: You'll never admit to it.

[00:06:01] [SPEAKER_02]: But you know, I think it's a lot easier for all our listeners to

[00:06:04] [SPEAKER_02]: get all the goodness that we give them.

[00:06:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:06:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Might need to explain that one though.

[00:06:08] [SPEAKER_02]: What happened there?

[00:06:09] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I think what happened, John, was I think was it

[00:06:11] [SPEAKER_02]: penalties, John?

[00:06:12] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm trying to remember off the top of my head.

[00:06:13] [SPEAKER_02]: It was one of the biggest ever.

[00:06:15] [SPEAKER_01]: It was a new direct tackle.

[00:06:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah. So that one.

[00:06:18] [SPEAKER_02]: And John had actually put up the wrong information and it's

[00:06:23] [SPEAKER_02]: one of our biggest ever videos.

[00:06:24] [SPEAKER_02]: People tell him he was wrong.

[00:06:26] [SPEAKER_02]: So I was wondering if it's one of those ones where, you

[00:06:31] [SPEAKER_02]: know, bad news is that they say good news or something like

[00:06:33] [SPEAKER_02]: that. I don't know the same, but I wonder if you did that

[00:06:35] [SPEAKER_02]: on purpose to get all those views, John.

[00:06:37] [SPEAKER_02]: Are you willing to come clean?

[00:06:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I am clean.

[00:06:40] [SPEAKER_01]: I am coming clean.

[00:06:41] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I did not do that on purpose.

[00:06:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I actually got the notes.

[00:06:45] [SPEAKER_01]: So when we start making content, we have videos, we

[00:06:47] [SPEAKER_01]: got folders where you put all the videos in, all the

[00:06:50] [SPEAKER_01]: gameplay videos and we put on the notes so I know where

[00:06:53] [SPEAKER_01]: to talk about, right?

[00:06:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Because I can't make all the footage alone.

[00:06:57] [SPEAKER_01]: So we've got a great team at foodcoaching.com doing

[00:06:59] [SPEAKER_01]: that. And apparently I mixed up the notes with the video

[00:07:04] [SPEAKER_01]: clip itself.

[00:07:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was talking about, for example, I think I was

[00:07:07] [SPEAKER_01]: talking about a time direct shot or a direct shot or

[00:07:11] [SPEAKER_01]: something when it was actually the free kick or the

[00:07:14] [SPEAKER_01]: direct tech or something.

[00:07:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And people were like, I posted it and I was like,

[00:07:20] [SPEAKER_01]: hey, why do we have like 10,000 views?

[00:07:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Why do we have 20,000 views?

[00:07:24] [SPEAKER_01]: Why after 20 minutes we have 250,000 views?

[00:07:27] [SPEAKER_01]: What's going on here?

[00:07:28] [SPEAKER_01]: And my battery literally ran out of my phone.

[00:07:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So I came back home, 1.4 million views and it just

[00:07:34] [SPEAKER_01]: kept going.

[00:07:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And everyone just responded because I said the wrong

[00:07:39] [SPEAKER_01]: things.

[00:07:40] [SPEAKER_01]: And I was like, I should delete it for the sake of

[00:07:42] [SPEAKER_01]: my pride, but I'm not deleting this one.

[00:07:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just gonna post about that 1.8 million or

[00:07:49] [SPEAKER_01]: something.

[00:07:51] [SPEAKER_02]: It was a mistake.

[00:07:53] [SPEAKER_02]: We've come clean earlier, John.

[00:07:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:07:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not like a certain developer.

[00:07:58] [SPEAKER_01]: If I make a mistake, I'll own up to it.

[00:08:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris, number three though.

[00:08:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So just to make sure, just follow us at everything

[00:08:07] [SPEAKER_01]: at Food and Review.

[00:08:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And for the time being, of course, the guys at

[00:08:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Food Coaching will push us, but we're now standing

[00:08:12] [SPEAKER_01]: on our own feet.

[00:08:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So number three, let's talk about this Friday show,

[00:08:16] [SPEAKER_01]: the show we are doing now, Chris, because from

[00:08:20] [SPEAKER_01]: now on, we'll be streaming every Friday show live

[00:08:24] [SPEAKER_01]: for everyone on YouTube at youtube.com slash

[00:08:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Food and Review.

[00:08:30] [SPEAKER_01]: So tune in, be part of the action and catch the

[00:08:33] [SPEAKER_01]: show in real time.

[00:08:35] [SPEAKER_01]: You can ask us anything.

[00:08:36] [SPEAKER_01]: And I know formally we've been streaming it to

[00:08:39] [SPEAKER_01]: our Discord community, but now on Friday, at

[00:08:42] [SPEAKER_01]: least, we'll make it an action packed show

[00:08:45] [SPEAKER_01]: available for everyone.

[00:08:46] [SPEAKER_01]: But dressably, sure, you have to be a patron

[00:08:48] [SPEAKER_01]: to watch us live.

[00:08:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris, streaming live, as you might know, and

[00:08:53] [SPEAKER_01]: especially after you've seen us try to do a big

[00:08:55] [SPEAKER_01]: tournament in Crete live, it's a different piece,

[00:08:58] [SPEAKER_01]: don't you think?

[00:09:00] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you think about the energy of live

[00:09:02] [SPEAKER_01]: audience for regular shows, for example?

[00:09:05] [SPEAKER_02]: It's amazing.

[00:09:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's be honest, John, you and I have done

[00:09:08] [SPEAKER_02]: two in Crete in front of live audiences.

[00:09:10] [SPEAKER_02]: And actually, the buzz that you get from people

[00:09:12] [SPEAKER_02]: being there just makes a big difference.

[00:09:14] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, football without the crowds, we've

[00:09:18] [SPEAKER_02]: got to listen to those empty stadiums.

[00:09:20] [SPEAKER_02]: So for us, I know we have good banter between

[00:09:23] [SPEAKER_02]: the two of us, the three of us when these

[00:09:25] [SPEAKER_02]: people are on, but actually having interactive

[00:09:29] [SPEAKER_02]: comments and that will be absolutely great.

[00:09:31] [SPEAKER_02]: And we can adapt the show as we go along

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_02]: as well.

[00:09:33] [SPEAKER_02]: So as I say, we always get an honest show

[00:09:35] [SPEAKER_02]: on this platform.

[00:09:37] [SPEAKER_02]: And you guys can ask us any questions that

[00:09:39] [SPEAKER_02]: you want.

[00:09:40] [SPEAKER_02]: We may not answer all of them if they're

[00:09:42] [SPEAKER_02]: personal, but we're looking forward to it.

[00:09:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So please join us.

[00:09:46] [SPEAKER_00]: We definitely will not answer everything.

[00:09:49] [SPEAKER_00]: Like you said, you just beat me to that one

[00:09:51] [SPEAKER_00]: sentence.

[00:09:52] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, just DM us privately.

[00:09:54] [SPEAKER_02]: We may answer them privately and send photos

[00:09:56] [SPEAKER_02]: if you really wanted.

[00:09:57] [SPEAKER_02]: But to be honest with you, please just

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: join us.

[00:10:00] [SPEAKER_02]: It's going to be good fun.

[00:10:02] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, you could sit there on a Friday.

[00:10:03] [SPEAKER_02]: The latest content, you've got the likes

[00:10:05] [SPEAKER_02]: of Invi to ask questions.

[00:10:06] [SPEAKER_02]: You've got tactics to ask John.

[00:10:08] [SPEAKER_02]: If you want to share your dad jokes with

[00:10:09] [SPEAKER_02]: us as long as they're clean, we'll happily

[00:10:11] [SPEAKER_02]: share them on the screen as well.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:10:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know dad jokes.

[00:10:16] [SPEAKER_01]: You might have to do one later on the show.

[00:10:18] [SPEAKER_01]: It's not part of the new extras at least.

[00:10:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Now I'm seriously though, Chris, I'm

[00:10:24] [SPEAKER_01]: looking forward to doing this, getting

[00:10:26] [SPEAKER_01]: some new people in.

[00:10:27] [SPEAKER_01]: And I know especially since we're

[00:10:29] [SPEAKER_01]: changing channels, it'll be small at the

[00:10:31] [SPEAKER_01]: start at least.

[00:10:32] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's totally fine.

[00:10:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I just want to give those options in

[00:10:35] [SPEAKER_01]: to make sure we can offer these.

[00:10:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, it's going to be pressure as

[00:10:38] [SPEAKER_02]: well, isn't it?

[00:10:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Because we are now live broadcasting to

[00:10:41] [SPEAKER_02]: the world.

[00:10:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Everybody can see us.

[00:10:43] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, it's going to be strange.

[00:10:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm going to, you know, as you've got a

[00:10:46] [SPEAKER_02]: nice new haircut for I wish you had told

[00:10:48] [SPEAKER_02]: me.

[00:10:49] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm having to wear a hat at the moment

[00:10:50] [SPEAKER_02]: because my hair is that bad.

[00:10:51] [SPEAKER_02]: But we all can see admire your new

[00:10:53] [SPEAKER_02]: haircut, John, looking very sleek as

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_02]: well.

[00:10:56] [SPEAKER_02]: Looking a lot younger, I have to say.

[00:10:59] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I can tell you what happened there

[00:11:00] [SPEAKER_01]: if I'm quite honest.

[00:11:02] [SPEAKER_01]: So at Footcoaching, we have a

[00:11:03] [SPEAKER_01]: partner called Knocksport who gave

[00:11:06] [SPEAKER_01]: us our, who provide us and we work

[00:11:09] [SPEAKER_01]: with them too for the video analysis

[00:11:10] [SPEAKER_01]: tools.

[00:11:11] [SPEAKER_01]: So these are the same tools used by

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: Liverpool, etc.

[00:11:13] [SPEAKER_01]: But that's not actually the point.

[00:11:16] [SPEAKER_01]: They have started a new eSports

[00:11:19] [SPEAKER_01]: web page, just a new eSports section.

[00:11:22] [SPEAKER_01]: And I had an interview there where I

[00:11:23] [SPEAKER_01]: also needed to make some pictures.

[00:11:25] [SPEAKER_01]: So I was like, I need to make some

[00:11:27] [SPEAKER_01]: pictures for that website.

[00:11:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And while I'm at it, I might as

[00:11:31] [SPEAKER_01]: well make sure I look good before

[00:11:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I go host the first show of the week.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_02]: Definitely, mate.

[00:11:35] [SPEAKER_02]: No, you're looking well, my friend.

[00:11:37] [SPEAKER_02]: You're looking well.

[00:11:38] [SPEAKER_01]: Cheers.

[00:11:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris, number four, introducing a

[00:11:44] [SPEAKER_01]: brand new Patreon exclusive show.

[00:11:48] [SPEAKER_01]: It's called The Art of Foot.

[00:11:51] [SPEAKER_01]: Every two weeks at a minimum is

[00:11:54] [SPEAKER_01]: what I'm saying.

[00:11:55] [SPEAKER_01]: We might do some more.

[00:11:57] [SPEAKER_01]: Nathan, Arjom and myself will take

[00:11:59] [SPEAKER_01]: a deep dive into gameplay and tactics.

[00:12:03] [SPEAKER_01]: The first episode is already live.

[00:12:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And if you're not a Patreon or

[00:12:07] [SPEAKER_01]: a Patreon yet, I should say maybe you

[00:12:10] [SPEAKER_01]: can either subscribe to our Patreon,

[00:12:11] [SPEAKER_01]: of course, or purchase individual episodes

[00:12:14] [SPEAKER_01]: now directly at patreon.com slash foot

[00:12:17] [SPEAKER_01]: in review.

[00:12:18] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just I think we put up the

[00:12:20] [SPEAKER_01]: episodes for three bucks now,

[00:12:22] [SPEAKER_01]: three euros, three pounds, honestly,

[00:12:24] [SPEAKER_01]: but like three something.

[00:12:26] [SPEAKER_01]: But I mean, a sub is five euros a

[00:12:28] [SPEAKER_01]: month.

[00:12:29] [SPEAKER_01]: So if you want to buy an individual,

[00:12:30] [SPEAKER_01]: that's fine.

[00:12:31] [SPEAKER_01]: If you want to get the cheapest

[00:12:32] [SPEAKER_01]: sub, it's five.

[00:12:34] [SPEAKER_01]: So I think it's definitely value.

[00:12:35] [SPEAKER_01]: We did the first show.

[00:12:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Have you by any chance been able to

[00:12:39] [SPEAKER_01]: check that out yet?

[00:12:40] [SPEAKER_02]: A hundred percent.

[00:12:41] [SPEAKER_02]: I watched the show.

[00:12:42] [SPEAKER_02]: It's great.

[00:12:43] [SPEAKER_02]: So I actually this is what I loved

[00:12:44] [SPEAKER_02]: about the show.

[00:12:45] [SPEAKER_02]: John was actually was on my

[00:12:46] [SPEAKER_02]: turbo trainer, was on my bike,

[00:12:48] [SPEAKER_02]: doing some indoor cycling and

[00:12:50] [SPEAKER_02]: watching the show at the same time.

[00:12:51] [SPEAKER_02]: So it took me off the pain of trying

[00:12:52] [SPEAKER_02]: to go up some mountains.

[00:12:54] [SPEAKER_02]: And it was a great show.

[00:12:55] [SPEAKER_02]: You guys for first of all,

[00:12:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think there's three better

[00:12:58] [SPEAKER_02]: guys in the FC game to have talk

[00:13:02] [SPEAKER_02]: about tactics, talk about,

[00:13:03] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, formations, talk about

[00:13:05] [SPEAKER_02]: gameplay yourself,

[00:13:07] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, an Uber coach.

[00:13:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You've got Art, who's a tremendous

[00:13:10] [SPEAKER_02]: player, a master formation builder

[00:13:12] [SPEAKER_02]: and Nath, a real life coach

[00:13:15] [SPEAKER_02]: in real life.

[00:13:16] [SPEAKER_02]: I've seen him, haven't we?

[00:13:17] [SPEAKER_02]: In the touch line, screaming

[00:13:18] [SPEAKER_02]: abuse at his players.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: I've seen him there.

[00:13:19] [SPEAKER_02]: So let's be honest, if he

[00:13:21] [SPEAKER_02]: brings that energy, he's going

[00:13:22] [SPEAKER_02]: to keep you two guys on your toes.

[00:13:23] [SPEAKER_02]: That's for sure.

[00:13:24] [SPEAKER_02]: The shows are great.

[00:13:25] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, the shows are great.

[00:13:26] [SPEAKER_02]: If even if someone's unsure,

[00:13:29] [SPEAKER_02]: look for Art's YouTube channel

[00:13:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and you'll see his formation

[00:13:34] [SPEAKER_02]: building videos on there.

[00:13:36] [SPEAKER_02]: And the length they are,

[00:13:37] [SPEAKER_02]: the detail that he goes into it.

[00:13:39] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I don't think you're

[00:13:40] [SPEAKER_02]: going to get a better way how

[00:13:41] [SPEAKER_02]: to play the game.

[00:13:42] [SPEAKER_02]: And it's interactive, John,

[00:13:43] [SPEAKER_02]: am I right in saying that?

[00:13:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely is.

[00:13:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Also whenever we go recording

[00:13:47] [SPEAKER_01]: that ever patron can just

[00:13:49] [SPEAKER_01]: join us live as well.

[00:13:50] [SPEAKER_01]: There are forums on our

[00:13:52] [SPEAKER_01]: Discord server.

[00:13:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Discord server is of course

[00:13:54] [SPEAKER_01]: totally free where you can

[00:13:55] [SPEAKER_01]: just drop any questions you

[00:13:57] [SPEAKER_01]: have remarking, play tactics,

[00:13:58] [SPEAKER_01]: et cetera.

[00:13:59] [SPEAKER_01]: And if Art decides to put out

[00:14:01] [SPEAKER_01]: those videos again, he 100% will.

[00:14:05] [SPEAKER_01]: Just I'm not trying to force him.

[00:14:07] [SPEAKER_01]: So if he puts out a formation,

[00:14:09] [SPEAKER_01]: we will also take that

[00:14:10] [SPEAKER_01]: formation and talk about it in

[00:14:11] [SPEAKER_01]: that show even more in that.

[00:14:13] [SPEAKER_01]: So there's plenty of options

[00:14:14] [SPEAKER_01]: there to do anything

[00:14:16] [SPEAKER_01]: tactically and by the looks of

[00:14:17] [SPEAKER_01]: it, FC25 might be tactically

[00:14:21] [SPEAKER_01]: on a whole different level.

[00:14:22] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's I'm so looking forward

[00:14:25] [SPEAKER_01]: to implementing and doing more

[00:14:26] [SPEAKER_01]: of these shows.

[00:14:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Of course, it's a little bit new.

[00:14:29] [SPEAKER_01]: The thing is, since it's a

[00:14:31] [SPEAKER_01]: patron only show, we are not

[00:14:32] [SPEAKER_01]: bound by, well, we are bound

[00:14:35] [SPEAKER_01]: by language, but a little bit

[00:14:36] [SPEAKER_01]: less.

[00:14:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Let's put it like this.

[00:14:38] [SPEAKER_01]: We are also not bound by time.

[00:14:40] [SPEAKER_01]: So say this show takes 20

[00:14:42] [SPEAKER_01]: minutes. It takes 20 minutes.

[00:14:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Does it take two hours?

[00:14:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably good to talk about

[00:14:46] [SPEAKER_01]: and we'll do it in two hours.

[00:14:47] [SPEAKER_01]: I think the first show is a

[00:14:48] [SPEAKER_01]: little bit over an hour or

[00:14:50] [SPEAKER_01]: just under just about an hour.

[00:14:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that will be the

[00:14:53] [SPEAKER_01]: average, but it's it's extra

[00:14:55] [SPEAKER_01]: content and I definitely think

[00:14:56] [SPEAKER_01]: it's good content as well.

[00:14:58] [SPEAKER_01]: As far as the first responses

[00:15:00] [SPEAKER_01]: give us and we have noticed

[00:15:03] [SPEAKER_01]: that if we do these shows on a

[00:15:06] [SPEAKER_01]: Friday or a Tuesday, for example,

[00:15:08] [SPEAKER_01]: where we take a full deep dive

[00:15:10] [SPEAKER_01]: into gameplay and not content,

[00:15:13] [SPEAKER_01]: there's definitely an audience

[00:15:15] [SPEAKER_01]: that's not interested in pure

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: gameplay talks.

[00:15:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And there's an audience that

[00:15:19] [SPEAKER_01]: tuned in specifically for that.

[00:15:20] [SPEAKER_01]: So we decided to split them

[00:15:21] [SPEAKER_01]: up and to make it more focused.

[00:15:24] [SPEAKER_02]: I was just going to add,

[00:15:25] [SPEAKER_02]: John, you know, I've had,

[00:15:27] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, an open and honest.

[00:15:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I've signed up for 12 months

[00:15:30] [SPEAKER_02]: for the Patreon.

[00:15:31] [SPEAKER_02]: Did that this month as a crew member,

[00:15:34] [SPEAKER_01]: which still I find a bit weird,

[00:15:35] [SPEAKER_02]: but I've said so I put my money

[00:15:37] [SPEAKER_02]: with my mouth as I don't tell

[00:15:38] [SPEAKER_02]: people to join if I'm not going

[00:15:39] [SPEAKER_02]: to put the money up myself.

[00:15:40] [SPEAKER_02]: So I've paid for my I think

[00:15:42] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm an ultra.

[00:15:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I think off the top of my head,

[00:15:44] [SPEAKER_02]: I've paid for my 12 months.

[00:15:45] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure John, if you pay for

[00:15:47] [SPEAKER_02]: 12 months as a discount there

[00:15:48] [SPEAKER_02]: for people who want to to join

[00:15:49] [SPEAKER_02]: our Patreon.

[00:15:51] [SPEAKER_02]: But what was going to add was

[00:15:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I learned something.

[00:15:53] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I'm steeped in this

[00:15:54] [SPEAKER_02]: game and I learned something even

[00:15:55] [SPEAKER_02]: just watching that video for 10

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_02]: minutes.

[00:15:57] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we FC 25 and the changes

[00:16:01] [SPEAKER_02]: to the roles, et cetera.

[00:16:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we're going to see a

[00:16:03] [SPEAKER_02]: real change in this game

[00:16:04] [SPEAKER_02]: compared to have had in the

[00:16:05] [SPEAKER_02]: past, you know, had new

[00:16:07] [SPEAKER_02]: chemistry styles, new

[00:16:08] [SPEAKER_02]: chemistry, sorry.

[00:16:09] [SPEAKER_02]: And then if I play style

[00:16:10] [SPEAKER_02]: pluses, but I think with this

[00:16:11] [SPEAKER_02]: role thing, you know, it's

[00:16:12] [SPEAKER_02]: going to be massive.

[00:16:13] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think people are going to

[00:16:14] [SPEAKER_02]: be really confused.

[00:16:15] [SPEAKER_02]: I think if you really want to

[00:16:16] [SPEAKER_02]: get deep dive in there, these

[00:16:17] [SPEAKER_02]: are the guys to learn from.

[00:16:19] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I can't wait to like

[00:16:21] [SPEAKER_01]: in a week from now when we're

[00:16:23] [SPEAKER_01]: like actually playing next

[00:16:25] [SPEAKER_01]: week.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: We already had it.

[00:16:26] [SPEAKER_01]: When we record next week's

[00:16:28] [SPEAKER_01]: show, we had a full day already

[00:16:30] [SPEAKER_01]: behind us with playing.

[00:16:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't wait to think around

[00:16:34] [SPEAKER_01]: with this and I'll share one

[00:16:36] [SPEAKER_01]: tip which we set in the

[00:16:39] [SPEAKER_01]: gameplay footage as well and

[00:16:40] [SPEAKER_01]: the gameplay show as well.

[00:16:42] [SPEAKER_01]: And that's all about the

[00:16:44] [SPEAKER_01]: kiss tactic.

[00:16:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And there's plenty of people

[00:16:46] [SPEAKER_01]: that use kiss as a way of

[00:16:51] [SPEAKER_01]: living or way of working

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_01]: projects.

[00:16:52] [SPEAKER_01]: But I like to say, keep it

[00:16:53] [SPEAKER_01]: super simple.

[00:16:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Just start out with a big

[00:16:56] [SPEAKER_01]: 4-2-3-1 or a 4-4-2 next week.

[00:17:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Play a couple of squad

[00:17:01] [SPEAKER_01]: battles, matches first.

[00:17:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe even play Friday till

[00:17:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Saturday squad battles to make

[00:17:07] [SPEAKER_01]: sure you get the rewards on

[00:17:08] [SPEAKER_01]: the Sunday and get a little

[00:17:09] [SPEAKER_01]: bit used to the game.

[00:17:11] [SPEAKER_01]: And then start to add one

[00:17:13] [SPEAKER_01]: player which has a good focus

[00:17:15] [SPEAKER_01]: on a different role, for

[00:17:17] [SPEAKER_01]: example, and see how that

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_01]: goes.

[00:17:18] [SPEAKER_01]: I think that's the easiest

[00:17:19] [SPEAKER_01]: way to start.

[00:17:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Keep it super simple.

[00:17:23] Yeah.

[00:17:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I do feel as well, John, I

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_02]: don't know if you feel the

[00:17:25] [SPEAKER_02]: same as me that the day of

[00:17:27] [SPEAKER_02]: posting on X, team

[00:17:28] [SPEAKER_02]: formation and all that has

[00:17:31] [SPEAKER_02]: gone now.

[00:17:32] [SPEAKER_02]: This game seems to have

[00:17:33] [SPEAKER_02]: been slightly more in depth

[00:17:34] [SPEAKER_02]: with the roles.

[00:17:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:17:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I would love to do this

[00:17:40] [SPEAKER_01]: whole show talking about it

[00:17:41] [SPEAKER_01]: if I'm quite honest.

[00:17:42] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm trying my best, John,

[00:17:43] [SPEAKER_01]: to try the information from you.

[00:17:45] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so hyped about this.

[00:17:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Now the biggest thing, let's

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: put it like this.

[00:17:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I think if we take one,

[00:17:52] [SPEAKER_01]: let's take two minutes to

[00:17:53] [SPEAKER_01]: talk about gameplay in

[00:17:54] [SPEAKER_01]: general, right?

[00:17:56] [SPEAKER_01]: From the new game, passing has

[00:17:57] [SPEAKER_01]: been massively changed in my

[00:17:59] [SPEAKER_01]: honest opinion.

[00:18:00] [SPEAKER_01]: You can't noscope pause

[00:18:01] [SPEAKER_01]: anymore when you get the

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_01]: ball.

[00:18:02] [SPEAKER_01]: You have to turn around

[00:18:03] [SPEAKER_01]: actually if you look where

[00:18:04] [SPEAKER_01]: you're passing and you

[00:18:06] [SPEAKER_01]: can try it, but it's far

[00:18:07] [SPEAKER_01]: less accurate.

[00:18:08] [SPEAKER_01]: So those blind ping pong

[00:18:09] [SPEAKER_01]: pauses or blind shots where

[00:18:11] [SPEAKER_01]: you're at the back against

[00:18:12] [SPEAKER_01]: the goal turnaround

[00:18:13] [SPEAKER_01]: immediately trigger a power

[00:18:14] [SPEAKER_01]: shot, for example.

[00:18:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Those are going to be really

[00:18:17] [SPEAKER_01]: hard slash impossible to

[00:18:19] [SPEAKER_01]: pull off.

[00:18:20] [SPEAKER_01]: But it also means if you

[00:18:21] [SPEAKER_01]: have a player with excellent

[00:18:23] [SPEAKER_01]: passing, now they can make

[00:18:26] [SPEAKER_01]: a pass from say right midfield

[00:18:28] [SPEAKER_01]: to left forward.

[00:18:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, if he doesn't have the

[00:18:31] [SPEAKER_01]: right stats, that pass will go

[00:18:32] [SPEAKER_01]: over the byline.

[00:18:33] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think those changes

[00:18:35] [SPEAKER_01]: everyone will notice straight

[00:18:36] [SPEAKER_01]: from the start.

[00:18:37] [SPEAKER_01]: And of course we have to

[00:18:38] [SPEAKER_01]: adapt from not using 99

[00:18:39] [SPEAKER_01]: rated players anymore.

[00:18:40] [SPEAKER_01]: But that's one of the

[00:18:42] [SPEAKER_01]: changes I am the most happy

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_01]: about.

[00:18:44] [SPEAKER_01]: And I already know and I've

[00:18:46] [SPEAKER_01]: seen it in the beta as

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: well.

[00:18:47] [SPEAKER_01]: People will complain about

[00:18:49] [SPEAKER_01]: passing doesn't work or

[00:18:50] [SPEAKER_01]: passing is far less accurate

[00:18:52] [SPEAKER_01]: or far less enjoyable.

[00:18:55] [SPEAKER_01]: But I think if you get used to

[00:18:56] [SPEAKER_01]: this new way of thinking

[00:18:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and feels a little bit more

[00:18:59] [SPEAKER_01]: like real football,

[00:19:01] [SPEAKER_01]: I think people are going to

[00:19:03] [SPEAKER_01]: love it.

[00:19:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Good.

[00:19:05] [SPEAKER_01]: At least so far I have.

[00:19:06] [SPEAKER_02]: Well as someone who isn't a

[00:19:08] [SPEAKER_02]: skiller and is a passer,

[00:19:09] [SPEAKER_02]: it's absolutely great news for

[00:19:11] [SPEAKER_02]: me.

[00:19:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, skills still have

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: place in the game.

[00:19:14] [SPEAKER_02]: But hey, we can only hope.

[00:19:19] [SPEAKER_01]: We're not done yet, Chris.

[00:19:21] [SPEAKER_01]: There are more.

[00:19:22] [SPEAKER_01]: We are 20 minutes in and it's

[00:19:24] [SPEAKER_01]: time for change number five.

[00:19:26] [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, wow.

[00:19:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Are you ready?

[00:19:29] [SPEAKER_01]: Number five, though, we are

[00:19:30] [SPEAKER_01]: keeping things tight with

[00:19:33] [SPEAKER_01]: set show lengths.

[00:19:34] [SPEAKER_01]: So we have will have two

[00:19:36] [SPEAKER_01]: big shows every single week

[00:19:38] [SPEAKER_01]: will be about not about will

[00:19:41] [SPEAKER_01]: be 45 minutes long.

[00:19:43] [SPEAKER_01]: We are going to try to make

[00:19:44] [SPEAKER_01]: it exactly 45 minutes long,

[00:19:46] [SPEAKER_01]: just like a football half.

[00:19:48] [SPEAKER_01]: Those shows will be recorded

[00:19:49] [SPEAKER_01]: on a Tuesday, most likely.

[00:19:51] [SPEAKER_01]: So released for non patrons on

[00:19:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Wednesday morning and record

[00:19:56] [SPEAKER_01]: on a Friday evening and release

[00:19:58] [SPEAKER_01]: for non patrons on Saturday

[00:20:00] [SPEAKER_01]: morning.

[00:20:01] [SPEAKER_01]: And again, if you're

[00:20:02] [SPEAKER_01]: patron, the moment we have

[00:20:04] [SPEAKER_01]: hit record, you can watch

[00:20:06] [SPEAKER_01]: life in a moment.

[00:20:07] [SPEAKER_01]: We're done with editing.

[00:20:08] [SPEAKER_01]: You get the show on your

[00:20:09] [SPEAKER_01]: feet and our daily shows,

[00:20:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris.

[00:20:12] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, those will be short

[00:20:13] [SPEAKER_01]: and sweet.

[00:20:14] [SPEAKER_01]: So whenever we don't have a

[00:20:16] [SPEAKER_01]: big show, which will

[00:20:17] [SPEAKER_01]: probably be on Monday

[00:20:18] [SPEAKER_01]: evening, Wednesday evening,

[00:20:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Thursday evening, we will be

[00:20:21] [SPEAKER_01]: having those short and sweet

[00:20:22] [SPEAKER_01]: shows 15 minutes max.

[00:20:25] [SPEAKER_01]: And we've done that before

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_01]: in the past.

[00:20:27] [SPEAKER_01]: Our shows were usually

[00:20:28] [SPEAKER_01]: maximum 15 minutes.

[00:20:30] [SPEAKER_01]: We had so much to talk

[00:20:31] [SPEAKER_01]: about when we grow so

[00:20:32] [SPEAKER_01]: hard that we went into 90

[00:20:34] [SPEAKER_01]: minute shows, et cetera.

[00:20:35] [SPEAKER_01]: But this time we're going

[00:20:36] [SPEAKER_01]: to keep it short and sweet.

[00:20:39] [SPEAKER_01]: So 50 minutes max three

[00:20:41] [SPEAKER_01]: times a week and two 45

[00:20:42] [SPEAKER_01]: minutes shows on the

[00:20:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Tuesday and Friday

[00:20:46] [SPEAKER_01]: recording.

[00:20:47] [SPEAKER_01]: Hitting you with the

[00:20:48] [SPEAKER_01]: hottest topics and of

[00:20:49] [SPEAKER_01]: course the freshest content

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_01]: of today.

[00:20:51] [SPEAKER_01]: We'll be recording as

[00:20:53] [SPEAKER_01]: close as we can on content

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: release.

[00:20:56] [SPEAKER_01]: It kind of depends what

[00:20:57] [SPEAKER_01]: we've been doing.

[00:20:58] [SPEAKER_01]: I think I'll be hosting

[00:20:59] [SPEAKER_01]: the first couple of shows

[00:21:01] [SPEAKER_01]: at the start at least,

[00:21:02] [SPEAKER_01]: but in the near future,

[00:21:03] [SPEAKER_01]: I think this is really

[00:21:04] [SPEAKER_01]: exciting.

[00:21:05] [SPEAKER_01]: At least I feel this

[00:21:06] [SPEAKER_01]: way, Chris, is we want

[00:21:08] [SPEAKER_01]: you, our fans, but

[00:21:10] [SPEAKER_01]: aiming specifically at

[00:21:12] [SPEAKER_01]: our patrons to join us

[00:21:13] [SPEAKER_01]: on these daily episodes.

[00:21:16] [SPEAKER_01]: What do you think, Chris?

[00:21:18] [SPEAKER_01]: It will be a challenge

[00:21:19] [SPEAKER_01]: to pack everything in

[00:21:20] [SPEAKER_01]: those shorter shows.

[00:21:21] [SPEAKER_01]: But what do you feel about it?

[00:21:23] [SPEAKER_02]: As long as we're

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: punchy, John,

[00:21:24] [SPEAKER_02]: that's the thing.

[00:21:25] [SPEAKER_02]: We've listened to our

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_02]: listeners.

[00:21:26] [SPEAKER_02]: Nobody wants to hear me

[00:21:27] [SPEAKER_02]: waffle on and on about

[00:21:28] [SPEAKER_02]: high pressure, do they?

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I've said it enough times,

[00:21:30] [SPEAKER_02]: but I think 45 minutes

[00:21:32] [SPEAKER_02]: is a great length for

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_02]: the show.

[00:21:34] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, I think people

[00:21:35] [SPEAKER_02]: have started to hopefully

[00:21:36] [SPEAKER_02]: notice there are a bit

[00:21:37] [SPEAKER_02]: more structures in terms

[00:21:38] [SPEAKER_02]: of how we do the shows.

[00:21:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And then the 15 minutes

[00:21:41] [SPEAKER_02]: is great for people.

[00:21:42] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's just talk about

[00:21:43] [SPEAKER_02]: the most pressing

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_02]: point of the day

[00:21:44] [SPEAKER_02]: and just fire it on.

[00:21:46] [SPEAKER_02]: Let's talk about it.

[00:21:47] [SPEAKER_02]: Also, if you have any questions,

[00:21:50] [SPEAKER_02]: that could take up

[00:21:51] [SPEAKER_02]: 15 minutes of our show.

[00:21:52] [SPEAKER_02]: So again, for our listeners

[00:21:53] [SPEAKER_02]: out there,

[00:21:54] [SPEAKER_02]: Discord members,

[00:21:55] [SPEAKER_02]: Patreon people,

[00:21:56] [SPEAKER_02]: you can actually influence

[00:21:58] [SPEAKER_02]: how we talk about the show.

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: If there's something

[00:21:59] [SPEAKER_02]: that really bothers you

[00:22:00] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's important,

[00:22:01] [SPEAKER_02]: drop us a message.

[00:22:02] [SPEAKER_02]: I'm sure we'll talk about it.

[00:22:04] [SPEAKER_02]: And likewise as well,

[00:22:05] [SPEAKER_02]: if you're saying that

[00:22:06] [SPEAKER_02]: our Discord members,

[00:22:07] [SPEAKER_02]: Patreoners are able to

[00:22:08] [SPEAKER_02]: join the show, John,

[00:22:09] [SPEAKER_02]: that's brilliant.

[00:22:11] [SPEAKER_02]: Fresh voices on here

[00:22:12] [SPEAKER_02]: makes this show

[00:22:13] [SPEAKER_02]: actually what makes it so special.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:22:16] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think it's

[00:22:18] [SPEAKER_01]: the 15 minutes shows

[00:22:19] [SPEAKER_01]: will be a nice entry point

[00:22:21] [SPEAKER_01]: for new people coming on

[00:22:23] [SPEAKER_01]: who want to talk about FIFA.

[00:22:24] [SPEAKER_01]: I have something to say about FIFA.

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, say FIFA,

[00:22:26] [SPEAKER_01]: but I mean, FC of course.

[00:22:28] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so glad

[00:22:29] [SPEAKER_01]: it's at least called

[00:22:30] [SPEAKER_01]: Football Ultimate Team again.

[00:22:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't have to say

[00:22:32] [SPEAKER_01]: uh all year again.

[00:22:35] [SPEAKER_01]: And I think that's my like,

[00:22:38] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm so looking forward

[00:22:39] [SPEAKER_01]: to putting that into place,

[00:22:40] [SPEAKER_01]: but you know,

[00:22:41] [SPEAKER_01]: you started as well,

[00:22:42] [SPEAKER_01]: like doing a show

[00:22:43] [SPEAKER_01]: as a guest.

[00:22:45] [SPEAKER_01]: The first couple of times

[00:22:46] [SPEAKER_01]: or the first time is really,

[00:22:47] [SPEAKER_01]: can be really daunting.

[00:22:49] [SPEAKER_01]: But if it's just 15 minutes

[00:22:51] [SPEAKER_01]: and you just get asked questions

[00:22:54] [SPEAKER_01]: or participating in

[00:22:55] [SPEAKER_01]: conversation for 15 minutes,

[00:22:57] [SPEAKER_01]: it's way easier to get started, right?

[00:22:59] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, definitely.

[00:23:00] [SPEAKER_02]: We've seen ourselves, John,

[00:23:01] [SPEAKER_02]: we've done the live shows

[00:23:03] [SPEAKER_02]: in Crete.

[00:23:04] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, people in the first corner

[00:23:05] [SPEAKER_02]: are a little bit nervous

[00:23:06] [SPEAKER_02]: and then once they slowly

[00:23:07] [SPEAKER_02]: get into it,

[00:23:09] [SPEAKER_02]: their personality comes out.

[00:23:10] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, people like Caden,

[00:23:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, it was absolutely great

[00:23:13] [SPEAKER_02]: to talk to him.

[00:23:14] [SPEAKER_02]: He was absolutely brilliant

[00:23:15] [SPEAKER_02]: on the show and someone like him

[00:23:16] [SPEAKER_02]: for 15 minutes,

[00:23:17] [SPEAKER_02]: the guy's got loads of great opinions.

[00:23:19] [SPEAKER_02]: It would be great to hear from him.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_01]: Definitely.

[00:23:21] [SPEAKER_01]: We might need subtitles though,

[00:23:22] [SPEAKER_01]: we can.

[00:23:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, it depends if he's sitting

[00:23:26] [SPEAKER_02]: at the bar in Crete

[00:23:27] [SPEAKER_02]: or if he's actually just,

[00:23:28] [SPEAKER_02]: you know, sitting at home.

[00:23:30] [SPEAKER_01]: That is extra fair.

[00:23:31] [SPEAKER_01]: I am of course, Caden,

[00:23:33] [SPEAKER_01]: we appreciate every single thing.

[00:23:35] [SPEAKER_01]: I think Caden is one of our specials.

[00:23:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, he's a great guy.

[00:23:38] [SPEAKER_02]: He's a,

[00:23:39] [SPEAKER_02]: the thing is,

[00:23:40] [SPEAKER_02]: we know Will McRee

[00:23:41] [SPEAKER_02]: is an absolutely great lad, you know.

[00:23:43] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, you can check him out by the way

[00:23:44] [SPEAKER_01]: on our Crete special podcast

[00:23:46] [SPEAKER_01]: which we did as well.

[00:23:47] [SPEAKER_01]: You can see him there.

[00:23:48] [SPEAKER_01]: He's actually a National Rugby Team player,

[00:23:50] [SPEAKER_01]: so I'll try not to insult him too much today.

[00:23:53] [SPEAKER_01]: No, no.

[00:23:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Hey Chris,

[00:23:59] [SPEAKER_01]: if you go,

[00:24:01] [SPEAKER_01]: you watch lots of football, right?

[00:24:02] [SPEAKER_01]: Mm-hmm.

[00:24:04] [SPEAKER_01]: Are there any other sports

[00:24:05] [SPEAKER_01]: you enjoy watching?

[00:24:07] [SPEAKER_01]: John.

[00:24:08] [SPEAKER_01]: Or don't enjoy watching with me,

[00:24:09] [SPEAKER_00]: maybe I should just get to it.

[00:24:10] [SPEAKER_02]: No, John,

[00:24:12] [SPEAKER_02]: you're just baiting me in here,

[00:24:13] [SPEAKER_02]: let's be honest,

[00:24:14] [SPEAKER_02]: because I told you once before

[00:24:16] [SPEAKER_02]: that Indycar racing was far better

[00:24:18] [SPEAKER_02]: than Formula One,

[00:24:20] [SPEAKER_02]: and for some strange reason

[00:24:21] [SPEAKER_02]: I've become addicted to Formula One.

[00:24:25] [SPEAKER_02]: So yeah,

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I've enjoyed,

[00:24:26] [SPEAKER_02]: I sat and watched the whole Italian Gromp,

[00:24:28] [SPEAKER_02]: is it the Italian Gromp he was on the last one,

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_02]: wasn't it?

[00:24:30] [SPEAKER_02]: With Ferrari one.

[00:24:31] [SPEAKER_02]: I sat and watched it from beginning to end.

[00:24:33] [SPEAKER_02]: I missed it watching the Vuelta,

[00:24:35] [SPEAKER_02]: so I didn't watch the cycling.

[00:24:36] [SPEAKER_02]: Yes, it is a boring sport.

[00:24:37] [SPEAKER_02]: I'll hasten to add that.

[00:24:38] [SPEAKER_02]: I love cycling as a sport,

[00:24:39] [SPEAKER_02]: but I do love it.

[00:24:40] [SPEAKER_02]: And I sat and watched the Formula One

[00:24:42] [SPEAKER_02]: from start to finish.

[00:24:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I normally just watch it for the crashes

[00:24:44] [SPEAKER_02]: at the very start,

[00:24:45] [SPEAKER_02]: and there was none.

[00:24:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It's really disappointing.

[00:24:47] [SPEAKER_02]: But no,

[00:24:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I've really enjoyed it,

[00:24:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and for some reason

[00:24:50] [SPEAKER_02]: yourself and James have got me hooked to it now.

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah,

[00:24:54] [SPEAKER_01]: so that's a good bridge,

[00:24:55] [SPEAKER_01]: actually more positive than I expected.

[00:25:00] [SPEAKER_01]: Number six, Chris,

[00:25:01] [SPEAKER_01]: we are expanding.

[00:25:03] [SPEAKER_01]: So get ready for our brand new channel

[00:25:06] [SPEAKER_01]: and VW.

[00:25:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Because we're doing two things at the same time.

[00:25:09] [SPEAKER_01]: It's called Race in Review.

[00:25:12] [SPEAKER_01]: You might have seen the logos pop up here and there now.

[00:25:16] [SPEAKER_01]: I am joined by my dear friend James,

[00:25:18] [SPEAKER_01]: who you could have heard on the show

[00:25:20] [SPEAKER_01]: called F1 in Focus,

[00:25:23] [SPEAKER_01]: or actually he's been our photographer

[00:25:25] [SPEAKER_01]: on our Crete events as well.

[00:25:27] [SPEAKER_01]: But James and I will talk all things,

[00:25:30] [SPEAKER_01]: sim racing,

[00:25:31] [SPEAKER_01]: yes,

[00:25:32] [SPEAKER_01]: we are expanding our gamma of games,

[00:25:34] [SPEAKER_01]: and on the Race in Review podcast,

[00:25:37] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll cover everything Formula One.

[00:25:41] [SPEAKER_01]: So there's already like a new episode

[00:25:43] [SPEAKER_01]: after every Formula One race.

[00:25:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It was on the previous show,

[00:25:46] [SPEAKER_01]: F1 in Focus,

[00:25:47] [SPEAKER_01]: we rebranded that to Race in Review as well.

[00:25:50] [SPEAKER_01]: So after every Formula One race,

[00:25:53] [SPEAKER_01]: Race in Review will upload a new episode discussing that.

[00:25:56] [SPEAKER_01]: And on the Race in Review YouTube channel,

[00:25:59] [SPEAKER_01]: we need a lot more subs though,

[00:26:01] [SPEAKER_01]: you can find our first steps

[00:26:03] [SPEAKER_01]: into,

[00:26:05] [SPEAKER_01]: well, we try to make it professional sim racing,

[00:26:07] [SPEAKER_01]: but for now let's see how a couple of amateurs do

[00:26:10] [SPEAKER_01]: in the real big sim racing world I think.

[00:26:14] [SPEAKER_01]: As we describe it there, Chris,

[00:26:17] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm John and I'm slow.

[00:26:19] [SPEAKER_01]: He's James, he's fast,

[00:26:20] [SPEAKER_01]: and he's trying to teach me not to crash.

[00:26:24] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, we'd seen that last,

[00:26:26] [SPEAKER_02]: you put a video up there on our Discord.

[00:26:29] [SPEAKER_02]: I think it was Max Verstappen took you out,

[00:26:33] [SPEAKER_02]: allegedly, he says before he gets sued,

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_02]: because he was at the back

[00:26:35] [SPEAKER_02]: and nowadays Max seems to be at the back.

[00:26:38] [SPEAKER_02]: So I think it was him.

[00:26:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, let's not talk about that for now.

[00:26:43] [SPEAKER_01]: No, I think just a side step there.

[00:26:47] [SPEAKER_01]: We started foot coaching and foot review with the passion,

[00:26:51] [SPEAKER_01]: most of my passion from foot, right?

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_01]: And my football passion,

[00:26:55] [SPEAKER_01]: my other passion has always been sim racing.

[00:26:58] [SPEAKER_01]: And I've watched Formula One my whole race,

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: my whole life.

[00:27:00] [SPEAKER_01]: So we decided to take a leap into proper sim racing.

[00:27:05] [SPEAKER_01]: So that's more the die hard games.

[00:27:08] [SPEAKER_01]: And boy are these hard.

[00:27:10] [SPEAKER_01]: If you think foot can be hard in the lead rifles,

[00:27:14] [SPEAKER_01]: you ain't seen nothing yet when you face these guys there.

[00:27:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So it's ruthless, it's cutthroat.

[00:27:19] [SPEAKER_01]: And I've made a fool out of myself

[00:27:21] [SPEAKER_01]: a couple of times already,

[00:27:23] [SPEAKER_01]: but we do that for the fans.

[00:27:25] [SPEAKER_01]: So you can check all that out on the channels really soon.

[00:27:28] [SPEAKER_02]: I mean, John, I've seen the regular you've got set up

[00:27:30] [SPEAKER_02]: and it's absolutely amazing.

[00:27:32] [SPEAKER_02]: So I'm sure with your talents,

[00:27:34] [SPEAKER_02]: it won't take you long before you're near the front.

[00:27:37] [SPEAKER_01]: Well, the thing is, Chris,

[00:27:39] [SPEAKER_01]: the biggest difference between foot and sim racing

[00:27:43] [SPEAKER_01]: is that foot I play with my hands.

[00:27:45] [SPEAKER_01]: And with sim racing, I've got to use my whole body

[00:27:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and actually where is your out playing?

[00:27:49] [SPEAKER_01]: It's pretty rough when you get some,

[00:27:52] [SPEAKER_01]: like you can't see the new gear here,

[00:27:54] [SPEAKER_01]: but I'll send a picture sometime.

[00:27:56] [SPEAKER_01]: But with the new gear,

[00:27:57] [SPEAKER_01]: it's a proper workout when you try to do it.

[00:28:00] [SPEAKER_01]: And I'm noticing that in foot,

[00:28:02] [SPEAKER_01]: I may be playing under my age,

[00:28:06] [SPEAKER_01]: but I'm definitely playing as my age or above my age

[00:28:09] [SPEAKER_01]: when I play sim racing.

[00:28:11] [SPEAKER_02]: You just need to join Masters League then

[00:28:13] [SPEAKER_02]: at sim racing, John.

[00:28:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, the elderly league maybe.

[00:28:18] [SPEAKER_01]: But I'm really looking forward to it.

[00:28:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And I think as well, John,

[00:28:23] [SPEAKER_02]: just off the sim racing as well,

[00:28:25] [SPEAKER_02]: as I say, I'm a fairly newbie to Formula One.

[00:28:27] [SPEAKER_02]: It just seems now, you know, with Max Verstappen,

[00:28:30] [SPEAKER_02]: I know we wind up you being Dutch

[00:28:32] [SPEAKER_02]: and a massive Max Verstappen fan,

[00:28:34] [SPEAKER_02]: that it seems to be a lot more exciting now

[00:28:36] [SPEAKER_02]: because it seems to be a more level playing field.

[00:28:39] [SPEAKER_02]: You've got Max here struggling a little bit

[00:28:42] [SPEAKER_02]: to bake pace, Ferrari winning,

[00:28:44] [SPEAKER_02]: there's so many different winners.

[00:28:45] [SPEAKER_02]: It just seems to be a lot tighter.

[00:28:48] [SPEAKER_02]: And when you see racing and the skill levels,

[00:28:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and I mean, the favorite thing I love about this

[00:28:51] [SPEAKER_02]: is when you actually see from inside the car

[00:28:53] [SPEAKER_02]: what these guys can actually see.

[00:28:55] [SPEAKER_02]: You're like, OMG, how are they able to drive

[00:28:58] [SPEAKER_02]: at those speeds with that sort of view?

[00:29:01] [SPEAKER_01]: It does prove that we definitely need

[00:29:03] [SPEAKER_01]: first person cameras in football as well, don't we?

[00:29:05] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, it's unbelievable.

[00:29:07] [SPEAKER_02]: And if nobody's ever watched a Formula One race,

[00:29:10] [SPEAKER_02]: I would check out and check the guys out

[00:29:12] [SPEAKER_02]: on the pod as well.

[00:29:14] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and if you have any questions,

[00:29:16] [SPEAKER_01]: it can be as green as grass, just send us.

[00:29:18] [SPEAKER_01]: And we can even talk about it enormously if you want,

[00:29:21] [SPEAKER_01]: but we're there to help.

[00:29:22] [SPEAKER_01]: Because we're new with sim racing,

[00:29:24] [SPEAKER_01]: and we're definitely not new with Formula One,

[00:29:25] [SPEAKER_01]: so if we can help you score a Formula One,

[00:29:28] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll definitely be able to.

[00:29:29] [SPEAKER_01]: But let's get back, Chris, into foot.

[00:29:32] [SPEAKER_01]: I had to mention it because one, hey,

[00:29:34] [SPEAKER_01]: it's promotion, two, it's something I'm very eager

[00:29:36] [SPEAKER_01]: to do about, so if you follow me on socials,

[00:29:39] [SPEAKER_01]: you definitely see that pop up somewhere.

[00:29:41] [SPEAKER_01]: And I just had to explain it,

[00:29:42] [SPEAKER_01]: and I'm just proud to be expanding

[00:29:44] [SPEAKER_01]: on that one as well.

[00:29:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Number seven, Chris, our Patreon, of course.

[00:29:50] [SPEAKER_01]: Our Patreon is refreshed.

[00:29:52] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's better than ever.

[00:29:54] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got new perks, we've got new shows,

[00:29:56] [SPEAKER_01]: we already spoke about that.

[00:29:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Talk about new shows.

[00:29:59] [SPEAKER_01]: If you're wondering about the training show,

[00:30:01] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll definitely have a training show,

[00:30:03] [SPEAKER_01]: at least to get started again.

[00:30:04] [SPEAKER_01]: But if EA decides to change the market

[00:30:07] [SPEAKER_01]: like they did last year,

[00:30:09] [SPEAKER_01]: there's not too much to talk about.

[00:30:11] [SPEAKER_01]: We used to make, yeah, Daniel talk about

[00:30:14] [SPEAKER_01]: cheat sheets, as we call them,

[00:30:16] [SPEAKER_01]: little sheets of information

[00:30:17] [SPEAKER_01]: with options to buy.

[00:30:19] [SPEAKER_01]: They teach you how to fish,

[00:30:21] [SPEAKER_01]: not actually give you fish.

[00:30:23] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a really good way, but last year

[00:30:25] [SPEAKER_01]: has been proven difficult for everyone

[00:30:27] [SPEAKER_01]: to trade, unless you spend

[00:30:29] [SPEAKER_01]: an insane amount of time.

[00:30:31] [SPEAKER_01]: So if the option is there

[00:30:33] [SPEAKER_01]: in the game, Daniel and Shaq will

[00:30:35] [SPEAKER_01]: definitely get into it. If not,

[00:30:37] [SPEAKER_01]: we always want to make sure

[00:30:39] [SPEAKER_01]: the gameplay show will get out as well.

[00:30:41] [SPEAKER_01]: So you might get more shows,

[00:30:43] [SPEAKER_01]: more shows, more shows,

[00:30:44] [SPEAKER_01]: but you won't get less shows at least.

[00:30:47] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, there's so many,

[00:30:49] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm not going to discuss all of them,

[00:30:50] [SPEAKER_01]: just check it out. Go to Patreon.com

[00:30:52] [SPEAKER_01]: or check out of course

[00:30:55] [SPEAKER_01]: our website, foodtreview.com

[00:30:56] [SPEAKER_01]: if you want to see everything.

[00:30:58] [SPEAKER_01]: We've got new merchandise,

[00:31:01] [SPEAKER_01]: we are running when you're listening by the way

[00:31:02] [SPEAKER_01]: to this or watching. We have a 15%

[00:31:04] [SPEAKER_01]: discount on merchandise and

[00:31:06] [SPEAKER_01]: free standard shipping.

[00:31:09] [SPEAKER_01]: Until next week

[00:31:11] [SPEAKER_01]: somewhere, so maybe it might be a good

[00:31:12] [SPEAKER_01]: time to check it out as well.

[00:31:14] [SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, there's like the Raid Squid shirt,

[00:31:17] [SPEAKER_01]: you know Chris, it's all good.

[00:31:18] [SPEAKER_01]: My favourite part, the new

[00:31:20] [SPEAKER_01]: Patreon benefits, oh yeah, you're actually wearing it.

[00:31:23] [SPEAKER_01]: My favourite part

[00:31:24] [SPEAKER_01]: is definitely the new gameplay show.

[00:31:27] [SPEAKER_01]: What's been your favourite new addition

[00:31:28] [SPEAKER_01]: to the Patreon program so far, Chris?

[00:31:30] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, you've stolen my thunder, John.

[00:31:32] [SPEAKER_02]: The Art of Food for me is going to be

[00:31:34] [SPEAKER_02]: absolutely amazing. I think people are going to love that.

[00:31:36] [SPEAKER_02]: We love our Discord members and

[00:31:38] [SPEAKER_02]: we absolutely love our Patreon members as well.

[00:31:41] [SPEAKER_02]: The Discord is free,

[00:31:42] [SPEAKER_02]: so if you're unsure, come and join.

[00:31:45] [SPEAKER_02]: Have a wee look,

[00:31:46] [SPEAKER_02]: you know what I mean?

[00:31:47] [SPEAKER_02]: And then you can join the Patreon and you will not miss out.

[00:31:50] [SPEAKER_02]: As well as that is,

[00:31:52] [SPEAKER_02]: this show,

[00:31:53] [SPEAKER_02]: the Art of Food has come from suggestions from

[00:31:56] [SPEAKER_02]: our Patreon members, so actually

[00:31:58] [SPEAKER_02]: you have the ability to shape

[00:32:00] [SPEAKER_02]: how we move forward.

[00:32:02] [SPEAKER_02]: This is a community built by

[00:32:04] [SPEAKER_02]: the community for the community.

[00:32:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I see that Ronaldo's hit

[00:32:08] [SPEAKER_02]: 1 billion

[00:32:10] [SPEAKER_02]: social media subscribers.

[00:32:12] [SPEAKER_02]: We're not quite at that level yet.

[00:32:14] [SPEAKER_01]: I've invited him on but he didn't respond, unfortunately.

[00:32:17] [SPEAKER_02]: Well, I'm not sure he'd be up to

[00:32:18] [SPEAKER_02]: point, John, to be honest with you.

[00:32:19] [SPEAKER_02]: He says, is this a UofL podcast? I tried to say yes,

[00:32:22] [SPEAKER_01]: but I couldn't do it.

[00:32:25] [SPEAKER_02]: But that's what I'm

[00:32:26] [SPEAKER_02]: saying. If you come and join,

[00:32:28] [SPEAKER_02]: you have the ability to shape how we move

[00:32:30] [SPEAKER_02]: forward as well. We take all

[00:32:32] [SPEAKER_02]: your suggestions really seriously.

[00:32:34] [SPEAKER_02]: John will try anything, you know. You just send

[00:32:36] [SPEAKER_02]: him a suggestion. If it works, it works.

[00:32:38] [SPEAKER_02]: But no, the Art of Food, I would not

[00:32:40] [SPEAKER_02]: miss out on that show because that is going to make

[00:32:42] [SPEAKER_02]: your journey through FC25

[00:32:44] [SPEAKER_02]: a lot easier and a lot more fun.

[00:32:46] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, 100%.

[00:32:47] [SPEAKER_01]: You said community and I mean it.

[00:32:50] [SPEAKER_01]: We mean it. If you have an idea,

[00:32:52] [SPEAKER_01]: suggestion for the show,

[00:32:54] [SPEAKER_01]: send us. What we've done over the summer

[00:32:56] [SPEAKER_01]: is people that send in good suggestions

[00:32:58] [SPEAKER_01]: and we take those

[00:33:00] [SPEAKER_01]: suggestions seriously and we like the idea,

[00:33:02] [SPEAKER_01]: don't worry.

[00:33:03] [SPEAKER_01]: We don't make it a contest because we don't want to

[00:33:06] [SPEAKER_01]: get any worse ideas. But if you send

[00:33:08] [SPEAKER_01]: in a great idea and we take it

[00:33:10] [SPEAKER_01]: and we like it or we want to

[00:33:12] [SPEAKER_01]: get inspiration from it, we'll send

[00:33:14] [SPEAKER_01]: you a present. We've sent T-shirts

[00:33:16] [SPEAKER_01]: over the summer to not even

[00:33:18] [SPEAKER_01]: Patreons but members on the Discord

[00:33:19] [SPEAKER_01]: that send in a great idea. We've

[00:33:22] [SPEAKER_01]: sent caps to people that has been

[00:33:24] [SPEAKER_01]: supporting us for a while. We've sent Baby

[00:33:26] [SPEAKER_01]: I don't even know, Bips

[00:33:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I think you can call them.

[00:33:29] [SPEAKER_01]: We send bips to people that were part of the

[00:33:32] [SPEAKER_01]: community and got a baby. So congratulations

[00:33:33] [SPEAKER_01]: to you as well.

[00:33:36] [SPEAKER_01]: It's just how we want to do this with the community.

[00:33:38] [SPEAKER_01]: So everything you say to us

[00:33:40] [SPEAKER_01]: we take into consideration

[00:33:41] [SPEAKER_01]: and hopefully the other way around

[00:33:44] [SPEAKER_01]: works as well.

[00:33:46] [SPEAKER_02]: It is literally a buck a week, John.

[00:33:48] [SPEAKER_02]: I don't think it's much more expensive than that.

[00:33:50] [SPEAKER_02]: You cannot, it's almost

[00:33:52] [SPEAKER_02]: I was going to say, it's cheap as a

[00:33:54] [SPEAKER_02]: coffee but coffee is so expensive

[00:33:56] [SPEAKER_02]: these days it's actually cheaper.

[00:33:58] [SPEAKER_01]: Try getting coffee in Crete.

[00:33:59] [SPEAKER_01]: It's actually as much as a membership.

[00:34:01] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, so I would suggest to people

[00:34:03] [SPEAKER_02]: come and join. You absolutely will not

[00:34:05] [SPEAKER_02]: leave. You'll have an absolute bulk.

[00:34:06] [SPEAKER_02]: It's your community. We've built it for you.

[00:34:10] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, 100%.

[00:34:11] [SPEAKER_01]: I can't talk about that though.

[00:34:13] [SPEAKER_01]: It's time for number 8, Chris.

[00:34:15] [SPEAKER_01]: And don't worry, I won't go on

[00:34:17] [SPEAKER_01]: too much longer because I can go on all

[00:34:19] [SPEAKER_01]: the details but we are introducing a

[00:34:21] [SPEAKER_01]: lot more steady

[00:34:23] [SPEAKER_01]: topics which will be continuing

[00:34:25] [SPEAKER_01]: coming up. For example

[00:34:26] [SPEAKER_01]: formation of the week, food coach tip

[00:34:29] [SPEAKER_01]: for the week, you all name one thing I am.

[00:34:31] [SPEAKER_01]: You also have a great one but

[00:34:33] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll let people find out

[00:34:35] [SPEAKER_01]: that one soon enough, Chris.

[00:34:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to talk about this one. It's called the community

[00:34:39] [SPEAKER_01]: team of the week. If you

[00:34:41] [SPEAKER_01]: join our Discord which Chris already

[00:34:43] [SPEAKER_01]: said it's totally free

[00:34:44] [SPEAKER_01]: and you can get involved in this awesome

[00:34:47] [SPEAKER_01]: competition but also

[00:34:49] [SPEAKER_01]: maintain a database of your team throughout

[00:34:51] [SPEAKER_01]: the year. So share your team. There's

[00:34:53] [SPEAKER_01]: a dedicated forum where you just

[00:34:54] [SPEAKER_01]: put your name in or your user

[00:34:57] [SPEAKER_01]: name or just say

[00:34:59] [SPEAKER_01]: my team, whatever.

[00:35:01] [SPEAKER_01]: You put your team in there. You can put

[00:35:03] [SPEAKER_01]: as many editions of your team as you want. Every time

[00:35:05] [SPEAKER_01]: you change, you put it there. You want feedback, you ask for

[00:35:07] [SPEAKER_01]: feedback. Hey, I'm looking at this one. It could be

[00:35:09] [SPEAKER_01]: a great left back. You just ask it.

[00:35:11] [SPEAKER_01]: You get community. Once you hit a tag,

[00:35:13] [SPEAKER_01]: it's a tag I think it's called

[00:35:14] [SPEAKER_01]: community team of the week. You hit that tag

[00:35:17] [SPEAKER_01]: you submit that team for

[00:35:19] [SPEAKER_01]: the community team of the week and

[00:35:21] [SPEAKER_01]: that way you share your team. And every

[00:35:23] [SPEAKER_01]: Friday we'll choose a standout squad to

[00:35:25] [SPEAKER_01]: feature in our show.

[00:35:27] [SPEAKER_01]: We take the most creative, the most fun,

[00:35:29] [SPEAKER_01]: the most meta, the most amazing

[00:35:31] [SPEAKER_01]: team we can find.

[00:35:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Avery will be the main judge. I'm already

[00:35:35] [SPEAKER_01]: saying that. And

[00:35:37] [SPEAKER_01]: we'll just feature your name

[00:35:39] [SPEAKER_01]: and your team on this Friday stream.

[00:35:41] [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's going to be... It's free.

[00:35:43] [SPEAKER_01]: It's fun.

[00:35:45] [SPEAKER_01]: It's a great way to be part of the community to come in

[00:35:47] [SPEAKER_01]: and I think it's also cool to

[00:35:49] [SPEAKER_01]: just go into that forum and check

[00:35:51] [SPEAKER_01]: your whole team throughout the year at the end of the year

[00:35:53] [SPEAKER_01]: for example. Oh, this was my team 20 weeks ago.

[00:35:55] [SPEAKER_01]: That's actually pretty fun. But anyways,

[00:35:57] [SPEAKER_01]: that's what I think Chris. What do you think?

[00:35:59] [SPEAKER_02]: It's almost like you read my mind

[00:36:01] [SPEAKER_02]: John because I'm sitting here

[00:36:03] [SPEAKER_02]: at the end with the game. It's my... You know, I've just got

[00:36:05] [SPEAKER_02]: myself my first ever Mbappe

[00:36:07] [SPEAKER_02]: 98 rated. I've not

[00:36:09] [SPEAKER_02]: had one all season. I'm thinking to myself, what's

[00:36:11] [SPEAKER_02]: my team's been like throughout

[00:36:13] [SPEAKER_02]: the period? How's

[00:36:15] [SPEAKER_02]: they developed? I'm thinking back when

[00:36:17] [SPEAKER_02]: I heard Dan and

[00:36:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Shaq talked about the best promos, etc.

[00:36:21] [SPEAKER_02]: And the cards. And I think I said, I wish

[00:36:23] [SPEAKER_02]: I had a way to go back and see how

[00:36:25] [SPEAKER_02]: my team was. You know, did I get

[00:36:27] [SPEAKER_02]: those players? Do I remember them properly?

[00:36:29] [SPEAKER_02]: This is absolutely brilliant. And then, you know,

[00:36:32] [SPEAKER_02]: Cherry on the top of the cake.

[00:36:33] [SPEAKER_02]: You've got Invi. You know,

[00:36:35] [SPEAKER_02]: we call him Mr. FIFA Database simply because

[00:36:37] [SPEAKER_02]: he is Mr. FIFA Database. I think he

[00:36:39] [SPEAKER_02]: knows more about the game than EA himself.

[00:36:42] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, he's very active on their forums.

[00:36:44] [SPEAKER_02]: He is a man who managed to

[00:36:45] [SPEAKER_02]: get his 299

[00:36:47] [SPEAKER_02]: rated cards back. I mean, he is like a dog

[00:36:49] [SPEAKER_02]: bone. And he did not let EA get away with that

[00:36:52] [SPEAKER_02]: at all.

[00:36:54] [SPEAKER_02]: So you've got someone like Invi

[00:36:55] [SPEAKER_02]: looking at these teams. You can't get better. The suggestions

[00:36:58] [SPEAKER_02]: you're going to get from him

[00:36:59] [SPEAKER_02]: as well, or even from our Discord

[00:37:01] [SPEAKER_02]: or Patreon members as well. Absolutely

[00:37:03] [SPEAKER_02]: brilliant. I think it's a wonderful idea.

[00:37:05] [SPEAKER_02]: And I'll certainly be using it.

[00:37:07] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it's not something like we don't get

[00:37:09] [SPEAKER_01]: anything out of it. We just like help building teams.

[00:37:11] [SPEAKER_01]: We like to see your teams. I think

[00:37:13] [SPEAKER_01]: we just want to make sure the community gets something back

[00:37:15] [SPEAKER_01]: in the show. I kind of like that.

[00:37:17] [SPEAKER_01]: And like you said, someone asked me

[00:37:19] [SPEAKER_01]: what's your start team like? I don't know.

[00:37:21] [SPEAKER_01]: What my start team last year was because

[00:37:23] [SPEAKER_01]: whenever I send these things, I usually delete

[00:37:25] [SPEAKER_01]: my photos afterwards.

[00:37:27] [SPEAKER_01]: I have no idea anymore.

[00:37:29] [SPEAKER_01]: And I should actually build a database

[00:37:31] [SPEAKER_01]: or put it in these forums myself

[00:37:33] [SPEAKER_01]: to make sure I'm going

[00:37:35] [SPEAKER_01]: to be better at that.

[00:37:37] [SPEAKER_02]: It may also spark some ideas for yourself

[00:37:39] [SPEAKER_02]: when you see other people's teams.

[00:37:41] [SPEAKER_02]: We won't be going with the most meta team

[00:37:43] [SPEAKER_02]: either. I'm sure Invi, he hates meta anyway.

[00:37:45] [SPEAKER_02]: So I doubt very much you'll do that. But, you know,

[00:37:47] [SPEAKER_02]: give you an idea of, wait a minute, you know, with these

[00:37:49] [SPEAKER_02]: new changes to the game,

[00:37:51] [SPEAKER_02]: that player there, why is that player there?

[00:37:52] [SPEAKER_02]: It might make you start thinking, help your game as well.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, definitely.

[00:37:56] [SPEAKER_01]: I want to ask you the one thing in a new game

[00:37:59] [SPEAKER_01]: is about to get started. What is the one

[00:38:01] [SPEAKER_01]: player you want to get on your team

[00:38:03] [SPEAKER_01]: as soon as possible?

[00:38:05] [SPEAKER_01]: And why?

[00:38:07] [SPEAKER_02]: I always, this is going to be a weird one, but

[00:38:09] [SPEAKER_02]: a big centre half.

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_02]: Lewandowski,

[00:38:12] [SPEAKER_02]: potentially, I don't know what his rating is. I need to

[00:38:14] [SPEAKER_02]: go and maybe check FC25. But a player like

[00:38:16] [SPEAKER_02]: Lewandowski

[00:38:18] [SPEAKER_02]: is the one I always look to get

[00:38:20] [SPEAKER_02]: because he's quite cheap, he scores

[00:38:22] [SPEAKER_02]: goals for you and he suits my style of

[00:38:24] [SPEAKER_02]: play. So a player like that

[00:38:26] [SPEAKER_02]: would do me just fine. What about yourself, John?

[00:38:29] [SPEAKER_01]: I usually

[00:38:30] [SPEAKER_01]: do two things.

[00:38:33] [SPEAKER_01]: I always take one player I want

[00:38:34] [SPEAKER_01]: to get in and build my team around.

[00:38:36] [SPEAKER_01]: I am fairly confident that this

[00:38:38] [SPEAKER_01]: year that might be Modrić.

[00:38:40] [SPEAKER_01]: Probably won't be too expensive, but I've

[00:38:43] [SPEAKER_01]: seen the stats and I'm like

[00:38:45] [SPEAKER_01]: could really work well this year to

[00:38:47] [SPEAKER_01]: start off with. And I always

[00:38:49] [SPEAKER_01]: try to get a icon,

[00:38:51] [SPEAKER_01]: usually icon striker in

[00:38:53] [SPEAKER_01]: week one.

[00:38:55] [SPEAKER_01]: Because one, they're pretty good

[00:38:57] [SPEAKER_01]: at start. Two, work rates sucked

[00:38:59] [SPEAKER_01]: last year on many, but hey we don't have those

[00:39:00] [SPEAKER_01]: anymore so they might actually be far better than we expect.

[00:39:03] [SPEAKER_01]: And three, it's easy to build your

[00:39:05] [SPEAKER_01]: team around. And even better, after

[00:39:06] [SPEAKER_01]: three, four weeks those prices will be

[00:39:09] [SPEAKER_01]: double or triple. So definitely something

[00:39:11] [SPEAKER_01]: that does not hurt

[00:39:13] [SPEAKER_01]: too much if I'm honest.

[00:39:16] [SPEAKER_01]: So a icon

[00:39:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and icon striker

[00:39:19] [SPEAKER_01]: in one of the players, and that's probably

[00:39:21] [SPEAKER_01]: going to be Modrić or León this year for me.

[00:39:23] [SPEAKER_02]: And I know you've noticed, and I know we're not

[00:39:25] [SPEAKER_02]: going to talk about FC25 but I have to always sneak a

[00:39:27] [SPEAKER_02]: question in John and I'm watching the time as well so make

[00:39:29] [SPEAKER_02]: sure you don't pass the 45 minutes. But

[00:39:31] [SPEAKER_02]: do you think the game

[00:39:33] [SPEAKER_02]: with a play like Van Basten

[00:39:35] [SPEAKER_02]: may be suited? Yes.

[00:39:39] [SPEAKER_01]: I mean you talk to the

[00:39:41] [SPEAKER_01]: guy that has the Van Basten shirt

[00:39:43] [SPEAKER_01]: hanging around his office, but it's definitely

[00:39:45] [SPEAKER_01]: something I'm looking forward

[00:39:47] [SPEAKER_01]: to giving him a spin. Although

[00:39:49] [SPEAKER_01]: of course I haven't been able to, but yeah I think

[00:39:51] [SPEAKER_01]: changing the work rates makes a massive

[00:39:53] [SPEAKER_01]: difference in the long run as they don't start

[00:39:55] [SPEAKER_01]: giving them random cam cards

[00:39:57] [SPEAKER_01]: that might be a good way

[00:39:59] [SPEAKER_01]: of getting them going.

[00:40:01] [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah I'm curious about that one. Also

[00:40:03] [SPEAKER_01]: Klyvart for example for this trip. Yeah,

[00:40:04] [SPEAKER_01]: plenty of options that could actually work really well.

[00:40:07] [SPEAKER_01]: I hear some music which means we're

[00:40:09] [SPEAKER_01]: in the last five minutes of the show

[00:40:11] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris. Brilliant. But before

[00:40:13] [SPEAKER_01]: you wrap up, we've got two

[00:40:15] [SPEAKER_01]: major events lined up this season.

[00:40:17] [SPEAKER_01]: Do you want to do the first one?

[00:40:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah we will be hosting

[00:40:21] [SPEAKER_02]: a Scottish meetup in November

[00:40:23] [SPEAKER_02]: where John and I will talk about the dates

[00:40:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and post it on our Discord.

[00:40:27] [SPEAKER_02]: The only rule is please be a Discord member

[00:40:30] [SPEAKER_02]: and we would love to see

[00:40:31] [SPEAKER_02]: you. It will be either Saturday or Sunday

[00:40:33] [SPEAKER_02]: and we're hoping that some

[00:40:35] [SPEAKER_02]: people can fly in as well. We've got a few people

[00:40:37] [SPEAKER_02]: coming from outside the UK.

[00:40:39] [SPEAKER_02]: Hello. Yep, well you're the main

[00:40:41] [SPEAKER_02]: man John so I hope you'll be coming.

[00:40:43] [SPEAKER_02]: I truly want to just meet me. But it will

[00:40:45] [SPEAKER_02]: be a good day. We'll have some fun things

[00:40:47] [SPEAKER_02]: to do and it's always been a good laugh

[00:40:49] [SPEAKER_02]: and we'll post it up

[00:40:51] [SPEAKER_02]: on our socials

[00:40:52] [SPEAKER_02]: in the Discord when that's free.

[00:40:55] [SPEAKER_02]: It's free to come. We'll probably

[00:40:57] [SPEAKER_02]: play darts or do something random.

[00:40:59] [SPEAKER_02]: I think we'll play darts, pool,

[00:41:01] [SPEAKER_02]: everything under the sun. Maybe a little bit of

[00:41:03] [SPEAKER_02]: F.C. somewhere. Maybe play F.C. if we can

[00:41:05] [SPEAKER_02]: get it. But no, it's going to be a great event. It's always

[00:41:07] [SPEAKER_02]: good fun to have you over to Scotland John

[00:41:09] [SPEAKER_02]: and give you some Ion Brew.

[00:41:12] [SPEAKER_01]: I'm off.

[00:41:13] [SPEAKER_01]: No, don't go into too much detail there.

[00:41:15] [SPEAKER_01]: Chris, last but not least

[00:41:17] [SPEAKER_01]: and this is next year though

[00:41:18] [SPEAKER_01]: and you can already make reservations for that. It is

[00:41:21] [SPEAKER_01]: the big one, a big one

[00:41:22] [SPEAKER_01]: from May the 12th to May the

[00:41:25] [SPEAKER_01]: 16th, 2025.

[00:41:27] [SPEAKER_01]: It sounds so far away but actually isn't that

[00:41:29] [SPEAKER_01]: far away. We are heading

[00:41:30] [SPEAKER_01]: once again for the third time in a row to

[00:41:33] [SPEAKER_01]: Crete in Greece

[00:41:35] [SPEAKER_01]: for a huge Food and Review event.

[00:41:37] [SPEAKER_01]: You're not going to want to miss either

[00:41:39] [SPEAKER_01]: of these events but if you want to

[00:41:40] [SPEAKER_01]: look at how the event was in Greece

[00:41:42] [SPEAKER_01]: last year, just have a look at our

[00:41:45] [SPEAKER_01]: Footcoaching YouTube channel still for now

[00:41:47] [SPEAKER_01]: but we'll post that on the Food and Review

[00:41:48] [SPEAKER_01]: channel as well. I can't

[00:41:50] [SPEAKER_01]: wait to go back. It's going to be bigger.

[00:41:52] [SPEAKER_01]: It's going to be better and I've said that before this year

[00:41:55] [SPEAKER_01]: when I look at the plans Chris. It's going to be

[00:41:57] [SPEAKER_02]: massive. It's going to be great and I just

[00:41:59] [SPEAKER_02]: want to tell people as well that

[00:42:01] [SPEAKER_02]: you can bring partners. So

[00:42:03] [SPEAKER_02]: you're allowed to bring partners as well

[00:42:04] [SPEAKER_01]: and it's not... You're paying for the hotel. Stay is

[00:42:07] [SPEAKER_01]: free, just buy your flight. Just want to put out.

[00:42:09] [SPEAKER_02]: You know, you get bed and breakfast

[00:42:10] [SPEAKER_02]: and there would be two probably

[00:42:13] [SPEAKER_02]: welcome dinner, a farewell dinner but what I just say

[00:42:15] [SPEAKER_02]: about people who are thinking do I bring my partner?

[00:42:17] [SPEAKER_02]: It's all about gaming. Well

[00:42:19] [SPEAKER_02]: Lara's been twice, that's my wife

[00:42:20] [SPEAKER_02]: and then this year unfortunately I felt a little bit

[00:42:23] [SPEAKER_02]: unwell, picked up a virus

[00:42:25] [SPEAKER_02]: and actually she had a

[00:42:27] [SPEAKER_02]: wonderful time. I think it was because I was in my bed

[00:42:29] [SPEAKER_02]: for three days but she had an absolutely wonderful

[00:42:31] [SPEAKER_02]: time and she met new friends,

[00:42:33] [SPEAKER_02]: friends from last year as well

[00:42:35] [SPEAKER_02]: and if your partner's thinking of going and she's

[00:42:37] [SPEAKER_02]: going no it's all about gaming. I have to say

[00:42:39] [SPEAKER_02]: the FC25 is

[00:42:41] [SPEAKER_02]: important but actually it's more about

[00:42:43] [SPEAKER_02]: making friends and I think John you'd

[00:42:45] [SPEAKER_02]: agree we've made some wonderful friends going

[00:42:47] [SPEAKER_02]: to those two events haven't we?

[00:42:49] [SPEAKER_01]: 100% first friend I met

[00:42:51] [SPEAKER_01]: was in Scotland and you might have known

[00:42:53] [SPEAKER_01]: him. No but seriously

[00:42:55] [SPEAKER_01]: these are cool things and it's just nice to get

[00:42:57] [SPEAKER_01]: some like-minded people together and

[00:42:59] [SPEAKER_01]: for partners trust me every

[00:43:01] [SPEAKER_01]: year partners come back as well and there's more

[00:43:03] [SPEAKER_01]: every year they wouldn't be coming

[00:43:05] [SPEAKER_01]: if it was just foot I think.

[00:43:08] [SPEAKER_01]: So guys

[00:43:09] [SPEAKER_01]: here you have it a new era
