So I kind of like in a way, I kind of admire the fact that he's using humor to kind of deal with this.

Now, it's just it's funny that it's it's it's what's worth remarking on is not, oh, how dare Mick McCarthy call Reich.

He can call him whatever he wants.

He's fully entitled to it.

But what's interesting is that he's decided that this is the moment to change his policy on what he does in this situation, which has cropped up so many times in the past 24 years.

It could be the film.

No, it's not this week.

It's just I want them to do it.

Yeah, fair enough.

Michael Lester.

Yeah, I wouldn't have known Michael Lester very well at all, other than the couple of times I came across him were unremarkable, purely because he was so sort of affable and normal.

He didn't really have airs and graces like you might expect of somebody who was like the flagship person of his sport in this country, you know.

And he was a little bit like Bill O'Herlihy as well.

And maybe it was the style of the day, but he was just so good at hosting the chat.

He obviously had these talking heads that were very willing to say things without a filter.

And they didn't seem to be kind of weighed down with the huge production that goes on now in GA analysis.

But like my Biden image of Michael Lester is...

the live games, the halftime, you know, he would sort of naturally just come in from the outbreak.

And before you know, the debate was gone.

It just, it didn't feel quite as staged.
