Speaker 2: What's interesting though, because if I had to sum up
Speaker 2: how I filmed one word, it's floating. I am like
Speaker 2: a lot of people, you're the same. We haven't got
Speaker 2: teams in the finals with floating fans. So actually, what's
Speaker 2: really exciting is you can look at the games the
Speaker 2: next couple of days and work out why you're going
Speaker 2: to back a certain team that's sorts the joy of it.
Speaker 2: Like I'm going to upset a lot of Hawks fans
Speaker 2: right now. I find the Hawks a little bit snug
Speaker 2: smug team. The Wizard of the Mint celebration, it's like
Speaker 2: Ginevan as well as if he's the renownder of the game.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden hopball, It's like, do your time.
Speaker 2: We'll see over the next couple of years. I really
Speaker 2: want g W West to beat them, not just beat them,
Speaker 2: smash them. Wow, upset Hawks fans turning the show off
Speaker 2: right now, I could lose listeners, but saying this is
Speaker 2: the joy of being the floating fan.
Speaker 1: You can.
Speaker 2: You have no alliances here, so you can look at
Speaker 2: tonight's game and go, h, you know which way do
Speaker 2: we go tonight? Mainly I'm hoping the Pies losing away

Speaker 2: Tina with two e's. How are you in one word,
Speaker 2: turn the microphone on that we can hear you.
