Barett's Bieba was. 70 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,640 Speaker 3: Was pretty hard the top and we shut down the city. 71 00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,960 Speaker 3: We didn't expect it, you know, fa thing with one 72 00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,360 Speaker 3: direction turned up, you know, one direction, the same deal. 73 00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,280 Speaker 3: It just just shut the city and it was incredible. 74 00:03:27,280 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 3: But look, to be honest, it's hard to pick a 75 00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:31,840 Speaker 3: great sporting moment because I've been lucky to probably talk 76 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 3: to every great sports person you can imagine. I've been 77 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:36,760 Speaker 3: lucky enough. And that's the thing. If you hang around 78 00:03:36,760 --> 00:03:40,000 Speaker 3: long enough, you get to talk to everyone.
