00:00:39,045 --> 00:00:41,525
Speaker 2: the guy and I all we talked about for fifteen minutes,

18
00:00:59,565 --> 00:01:01,764

19
00:01:01,805 --> 00:01:04,685
Speaker 2: how I filmed one word, it's floating. I am like

20
00:01:04,765 --> 00:01:06,485
Speaker 2: a lot of people, you're the same. We haven't got

21
00:01:06,525 --> 00:01:10,405
Speaker 2: teams in the finals with floating fans. So actually, what's

22
00:01:10,445 --> 00:01:12,325
Speaker 2: really exciting is you can look at the games the

23
00:01:12,405 --> 00:01:16,005
Speaker 2: next couple of days and work out why you're going

24
00:01:16,045 --> 00:01:18,685
Speaker 2: to back a certain team that's sorts the joy of it.

25
00:01:18,765 --> 00:01:20,445
Speaker 2: Like I'm going to upset a lot of Hawks fans

26
00:01:20,485 --> 00:01:23,125
Speaker 2: right now. I find the Hawks a little bit snug

27
00:01:24,525 --> 00:01:27,605
Speaker 2: smug team. The Wizard of the Mint celebration, it's like

28
00:01:27,725 --> 00:01:30,045
Speaker 2: Ginevan as well as if he's the renownder of the game.

33
00:01:42,925 --> 00:01:45,245
Speaker 2: right now, I could lose listeners, but saying this is

34
00:01:45,285 --> 00:01:46,805
Speaker 2: the joy of being the floating fan.

35
00:01:47,365 --> 00:01:47,685
Speaker 1: You can.

36
00:01:47,725 --> 00:01:49,485
