It's true as well, isn't it?
I think back to those days of doing the postgrad broadcast journalism degree and then starting in local radio and never, ever imagining that you'd end up commentating at a World Cup in Russia or the USA or...
You know, you do pinch yourself, don't you?
We are incredibly lucky to do it.
And the other thing as well, and it is relevant as well, because Malcolm was, you know, he was a very loyal listener to what we do, our football coverage, our sports coverage.
So he was a big fan of Five Live and Five Live Sport as well.
Right, I think that's it for this episode.
The thing I meant to ask, actually, Ian, because I've handed Chris Sutton on to you, so I spent about two and a half weeks with Chris.
Is he behaving himself?
Is he okay?
No, he's not behaving.
And when you said earlier that you sat in the back wherever it was, well, he's told tales about you and your producer, John Southall, about driving him down the wrong side of the road.
Yeah, we both did actually do that, accidentally, obviously.
Whenever I have anyone in the car, if I'm driving, who comes out with that sort of thing, I always say, do you want me to stop and let you have a go?
Yeah, well, I mean, there is a tale to tell, isn't there, about that from Qatar in 2022, but maybe now is not the time.
But he hasn't changed his backseat driving manner.
Is he still wearing the Stetson?
Yes, he is.
And he also, he's very critical of you though, Ali, because he said that you didn't pay for that.
He said that he forked out a lot of money and he said that Bruce wasn't forthcoming with any cash towards it.
