Yeah, I sent you a picture.
I walked past the last hurrah today, which I thought that's that, you know, you must have used that in a commentary somewhere before.
The last hurrah is a good name.
But haven't, right, John, we've got an expert who can actually answer this question, haven't we?
Sitting right beside you, yeah.
We absolutely have.
And by the way, I must say thank you very much to Peter from Dublin and Joseph for their comments.
But we have sitting here special guest appearance from Rob Dybal, who is, what do we call you, Rob?
Senior...
Outside broadcast engineer?
Yeah, that I do.
And just to explain to the listeners, it's Rob who engineers certainly the England matches and the other ones that we've done as well.
So, you know, we've been asked on this podcast, Rob, a lot about lip mics that we're using now as opposed to open mics, which have been used by the Paraguayans.
Yeah.
Explain it all.
So we use these lip mics which are made by a company called Kohl's and they're designed to keep the effects away from it so we've got more control.
So they're designed for use in noisy environments and that's why you speak so closely when it's touching your lip, hence the name lip mics.
And that enables us to be able to add in effects that we'd like to put in, as opposed to the open mics, which we just heard from the Paraguayans.
They don't obviously add effects, I wouldn't have thought, because you can pick it up on their mics because they're more open.
So we'll also have a microphone set out, which, or microphones, you tell me, for the sound of the stadium.
