01:08and joining them tonight is one of the most exciting players in English football
01:19he's every right-back's worst nightmare so watch out makes it's England's Anthony Gordon
01:26oh
01:37oh
01:39Oh, no, no, no, no.
01:41Ain't nothing too much.
01:43You know how to do it.
01:45Fuck it, nothing.
01:46Come on, bro.
01:48Come on, bro.
01:51Come on, bro.
01:52Come on, bro.
01:53Yeah?
01:54Come on, bro.
01:55Come on, bro.
01:56I love to see you, mate.
01:57See you now.
01:59Anthony Gordon, everybody!
02:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
02:03Anthony, welcome to the show.
02:06Now, you just walked on to Voulé Vu by Abba.
02:08Can you just explain why that is?
02:11Yeah, it's because when we were in the Champions League,
02:14the Geordies made a song for me, thankfully,
02:17regarding going to Madrid, and it was a blessing in the end
02:20because I'd come a big hit and a fan base.
02:23It was great to have a song. Meeks, what was your song?
02:27You Fat Bastard.
02:34Zu, welcome back, man. It is so good.
02:36It's always so good.
02:39Woo!
02:40Woo!
02:42I know they're doing that in support, but it does feel intimidating.
02:45Yeah, it's quite scary, isn't it?
02:46Yeah, a little bit.
02:48Now, Jay, you've got a scouser on your team today.
02:50Do you feel like, because of your time at Liverpool,
02:53you're an honorary scouser?
02:54He's right, lads.
02:55He's right. He's right, lads.
02:58No, 11 years I spent up there. Loved it.
03:00What was that you did earlier?
03:02Scous.
03:03I don't know, lad.
03:05Can we get a bit more of that?
03:06What do you like to hear, lads?
03:07What?
03:08What is that?
03:09What's wrong with that?
03:11Eh? Come on, give me that a ten.
03:13Yeah, that's not bad. I give a seven.
03:14Really?
03:15OK.
03:15Come on, that one's shit.
03:16Oh, there it was.
03:19Now, Anthony, Jay says he's a big deal in Liverpool.
03:21No, I don't.
03:22Yeah, he's always going on about it.
03:24Is he?
03:25Probably depends who you ask, but I think past generations love him.
03:29Past generations.
03:30Oh, wait a minute!
03:32My man!
03:33Shush you!
03:34Did you know who he was?
03:35I know him as a pundit.
03:36Oh, a player.
03:38Now, Jill, you're a famous Sunderland fan.
03:40Yes.
03:41How do you feel about having a Newcastle player on the show?
03:43Well, he's on the losing team, so...
03:45Oh!
03:46I'll see that.
03:47Wouldn't you say the famous Sunderland fan?
03:49Yeah, what?
03:50She's the only famous Sunderland fan.
03:52I do feel like I've got his look-alike here, though, so...
03:56Yeah, I know.
03:57LAUGHTER
03:59I just wonder...
04:01Wow.
04:03Hey.
04:04Take off the bar.
04:05You know what?
04:06We've got Anthony Gordon and Antonia Gordon on the other side.
04:10Anthony, I do see it that I think you and I,
04:12we look like if somebody tried to draw Ellen DeGeneres from memory.
04:16LAUGHTER
04:19Right.
04:20Let's crack on with round one.
04:21All right, Red Team, this is for you.
04:26Berlin Holland!
04:34It's Mo Salah!
04:35It's Mo Salah!
04:37It is explosive!
04:39The Egyptian archer scores again.
04:47Lewis Hamilton wins the British Grand Prix!
04:51So, there you saw Phil DeGeneres Lewis Hamilton scores with these Erling Haaland and leaves defenders on their knees, Mo Salah.
05:01Now, all three incredible athletes, but how do they mentally prepare themselves?
05:05Who skydives to relax?
05:07Who obsessively plays chess to help them think strategically?
05:10And who tapes their mouths shut to help them sleep?
05:13Now, amazing, we're talking about preparation.
05:15Do you have any special kind of pre-gig rituals?
05:17Oh, yeah, just the usual, you know, nothing too dramatic, just sort of sit rocking in a corner, questioning my career choices, vomit, do a cry, light some sage, then on stage we go.
05:27That sounds like what my wife did on our wedding day.
05:30LAUGHTER
05:32OK, what about Erling Haaland?
05:34Do you think it's him that's obsessed with playing chess?
05:37I can tell you that Haaland, one game he does like to play, in order to mentally prepare himself before a match is FC 24.
05:43He said, I like to score with myself on FC 24, that's about it.
05:47Now, while we're talking about football, computer games, I'll give you a bonus point, OK?
05:51OK, if you can tell me who this is supposed to be.
05:54Oh!
05:55Oh!
05:56Jill?
05:57I can't be you.
05:58That's all!
05:59Harry Maguire.
06:00Harry Maguire.
06:01OK, let's have a look.
06:03Oh!
06:04Oh, my God!
06:06I knew how high it was you!
06:08Oh, wow!
06:10Whoa!
06:11I knew they were going to be like that.
06:12Yeah.
06:13It's so unrealistic.
06:14For a start, you're on the pitch.
06:16LAUGHTER
06:18I'm confused in them days.
06:20How long are we talking?
06:21That was FC 1891.
06:24LAUGHTER
06:25It's very rare I'll have a pop at someone else's hair, but that is bad even by myself.
06:30I used to play that, because I used to love playing myself with a joystick.
06:34I bet you did.
06:35That was my game.
06:36LAUGHTER
06:41The hand movement was crazy.
06:43We used to play with joysticks, see?
06:46You don't have joysticks anymore?
06:47No, I've never played with a joystick.
06:48Why do you have to do the motion, though?
06:50Yeah.
06:51It's not helping.
06:52You must have played with yourself playing it, though, because you can.
06:54LAUGHTER
06:55No, he's doing...
06:56He's got...
06:57This has got to be on...
06:58This is insane.
06:59You can!
07:00I love playing with myself.
07:01LAUGHTER
07:02Now, Meeks, Mo Salah passed you on his way up at Fuentina, didn't he?
07:07And he described you as one of the craziest guys he's ever met.
07:10You mean craziest?
07:11Look, I'm not Mo Salah.
07:12You're the craziest.
07:13He couldn't drive, so I was basically a taxi driver.
07:18There was one time I was going to training before I even met.
07:21He thought I was a club chauffeur.
07:24LAUGHTER
07:25No way.
07:26I'm being deadly serious.
07:27How did he realise that you weren't the chauffeur?
07:29I got out of the car, went into training.
07:32LAUGHTER
07:33It's my fault for asking the question, really.
07:35LAUGHTER
07:36He was like, this fucking driver's good at football.
07:39LAUGHTER
07:41So I can tell you that as part of Salah's mental preparation for a game,
07:44he likes to dedicate at least 15 minutes a day to visualisation.
07:48He says,
07:49I sit at the edge of the bed or edge of a chair and I sit straight.
07:51You close your eyes and you visualise what you want to achieve
07:54or how you want to see yourself.
07:55Lisa started doing that.
07:57She visualises herself shagging my son's head of year.
08:00LAUGHTER
08:03Wow.
08:04Wow.
08:05Anthony, do you do anything like that?
08:07I do exactly that.
08:08Yeah.
08:09I do visualisation and meditation.
08:11With my son's head of year?
08:12LAUGHTER
08:13LAUGHTER
08:14APPLAUSE
08:20I'm sorry.
08:21So what do you do?
08:22Sorry.
08:23Before a game, what will you do?
08:24I do a visualisation meditation where I'm breathing and visualising
08:29who I want to be and how I want the game to go.
08:31Since you started doing it, do you feel like it's made a difference
08:33to how you're actually playing then?
08:34Yeah.
08:35You must stay if you keep doing it.
08:36Well, I started doing it at the start of the under-21 Euros.
08:38Right.
08:39Obviously, went on to win player tournaments, won the Euros,
08:41and had a great season after.
08:43So, I've been a much, much better player since I started.
08:46So...
08:47APPLAUSE
08:49Sorry.
08:51I just want to ask, like, the position you visualise.
08:53What do you do?
08:54What do you do?
08:55I do it the real meditation way where I'm...
08:56Like...
08:57Legs crossed.
08:58Do you?
08:59Yeah, this way.
09:00It's like Jay being visualising Botox in it.
09:02LAUGHTER
09:03Is that how you do it, Jay?
09:04Yeah.
09:05LAUGHTER
09:06Jay, how would you...
09:07How would you visualise, like, a perfect night on the show?
09:09What have we got to do?
09:10Sit back, relax.
09:11Eyes closed.
09:12You've got to try and ignore everybody, yeah?
09:14He does that anyway.
09:15Just zoning.
09:16Zoning.
09:17LAUGHTER
09:18OK, do...
09:19Jay, do you want to tell us what's going on?
09:22LAUGHTER
09:23I didn't ask you so that you could sit there silently
09:26with your eyes closed for five minutes.
09:28What...
09:29Big Mix has just met me at the door.
09:31OK.
09:32He's got his black Nando's card out.
09:34LAUGHTER
09:35Thank God you said Nando's card.
09:37LAUGHTER
09:39APPLAUSE
09:41Oh, my...
09:42Oh, my God.
09:44Oh, my God.
09:45Go to my...
09:46I go into the room.
09:47It's all set out.
09:48Thank you, Mix.
09:49All my favourite people were here.
09:50Jill's there.
09:51Hey, Jill.
09:52How you doing?
09:53LAUGHTER
09:54LAUGHTER
09:55LAUGHTER
09:56You only got on the show, yeah?
09:58I just walked into the studio.
10:00Everyone's here.
10:02I look over and I see the host.
10:05James Cook...
10:06I mean...
10:07LAUGHTER
10:08LAUGHTER
10:09LAUGHTER
10:10LAUGHTER
10:11LAUGHTER
10:12LAUGHTER
10:13I'm joking.
10:14Hey.
10:15LAUGHTER
10:16I love you.
10:17Come here.
10:18I don't mean that.
10:19You're my favourite host.
10:20Come on.
10:21LAUGHTER
10:22APPLAUSE
10:23LAUGHTER
10:24APPLAUSE
10:25Hey.
10:26I love you.
10:27LAUGHTER
10:28LAUGHTER
10:29LAUGHTER
10:30I like that visualisation.
10:31Yeah, good, right?
10:32Yeah, it's really good.
10:33It's really nice watching you do it.
10:34Creepy.
10:35LAUGHTER
10:36LAUGHTER
10:37LAUGHTER
10:38There's Big Mix.
10:40I walk into my dressing room, lovely fresh pair of sketches.
10:45LAUGHTER
10:46I miss that bit out.
10:47Lied down on my mattress made of air-cooled memory foam.
10:50LAUGHTER
10:51So, is it Salah who skydives to relax?
10:53I can tell you that the sports star in question has done over 80 solo jumps.
10:58Maisie, are you an adrenaline junkie?
11:00No, no.
11:01No, I don't like anything.
11:02Heights, drops.
11:04My adrenaline is like leaving a WhatsApp group without saying anything first.
11:08Oh, I love it.
11:09You've been added to Debbie's baby shower.
11:11Fuck off, Debbie.
11:12LAUGHTER
11:13That's my adrenaline.
11:14That's mine.
11:15LAUGHTER
11:16Now, I've actually done a pretty terrifying skydive for this show,
11:19about two and a half years ago.
11:21It was a tribute to the 2012 Olympic opening ceremony.
11:24But unfortunately...
11:25The James Bond one?
11:26Yeah.
11:27You did it.
11:28Yeah.
11:29But I'm...
11:30Well, it's worse than that, actually.
11:31Unfortunately, when he got round to airing it,
11:32the skydive itself seemed a little insensitive.
11:34Have a look and see if you can guess why.
11:37Right?
11:38Yeah.
11:39You're coming, right?
11:40Yeah, of course I'm coming.
11:41I think I'm coming.
11:42Your Highness.
11:44I've got you some nice steps to get up there, OK?
11:46Are you joking with this?
11:47No, come on, you can do it.
11:48Come on.
11:49I'll help you.
11:50One.
11:51Get your shoes up there.
11:52That's it.
11:53There you go.
11:54You got it?
11:55Two.
11:56OK.
11:57Oh!
11:58God!
11:59You all right?
12:00What are you doing?
12:01You put your finger right up.
12:02Yes, you did.
12:03Your dignity and stuff.
12:04My wife's not even ever touched me there, mate.
12:06Right, get on, man.
12:07Perfect.
12:08No, no, I've...
12:09What are you doing?
12:10I'm the Queen.
12:11I know you're the Queen.
12:12Well, David Beckham would accompany me.
12:13Yeah, but I don't want a knighthood as much as what he does.
12:14I'll see you later.
12:15Jane!
12:16OK?
12:17See you in a bit.
12:19Go on, man.
12:30Long ah.
12:32See you later.
12:33Yeah, listen to me.
12:34Move along.
12:35Wait, wait.
12:36You had to take me...
12:37Look.
12:37She died.
12:38I dwt Authent at about the current forever.
12:39People in the snow needle.
12:40Teddy gew港, dude.
12:41I'll see you later slower.
12:42Three years later.
12:43We'll see you later.
12:44They couldn't slide about it.
12:45Retaining.
12:46Oh, my God, that was so good.
13:16I want you to imagine, right, dressing up as the Queen, R.I.P., right, going and doing
13:24a skydive and then being told by production it's not made the edit, right, because that
13:28is what happened.
13:29It's never made it.
13:30That looked like the worst Mrs. Doubtfire remake ever.
13:33Were you supposed to be the Queen, though, Romesh?
13:35Yeah.
13:36What, she'd been a holiday?
13:40OK, Red Team, I need an answer from you, please.
13:43We've got this.
13:44We know it.
13:45Skydives to relax, who obsessively plays chess every night, and who tapes their mouth shut
13:49to help them sleep?
13:50Come on.
13:51I need a win.
13:52You take over.
13:53I'm a...
13:54I'm a skydive.
13:55Yeah.
13:56Uh-huh.
13:57Make a sense.
13:59Yep.
14:00OK.
14:01Let's see if you're right.
14:02I can tell you that Lewis Hamilton skydives to relax, Mo Salah obsessively plays chess every
14:08night, and Erling Haaland takes his mouth shut to help them sleep.
14:12Well done, Red Team, you scored three points.
14:14Woo!
14:15We're back, Red Team.
14:17We're back, Red Team.
14:19Uh, now.
14:22Blue Team, this next question is for you.
14:35Have a look at this.
14:36I'm the Beast Like Rowler.
15:06So, there you saw Ice In His Veins, Cole Palmer,
15:10Skulls In His Locker, Phil Foden,
15:11and nothing in his trophy cabinet, Harry Kane.
15:13Wow.
15:15Wow.
15:16That is a lot of golden boots, isn't it?
15:18Oh, yeah, that's fair.
15:20Now, that is three of Anthony's England team-mates,
15:22but I want you to match them to their unusual fact.
15:25Who's been nicknamed Beans, because they eat so many of them?
15:28Who paid £35 to see a psychic before the Euros?
15:32And whose house was used in a rom-com about a man
15:35who accidentally got a vasectomy from a ferret?
15:37What?
15:38You've made these questions happen yet.
15:40I haven't, I haven't.
15:41So, Mix, first question.
15:42You played for England, obviously.
15:44Oh, well, yeah.
15:45Don't like to mention it, but yeah.
15:46What was the most unusual thing that happened to you
15:48on international duty?
15:49I'd just been called up, and back in them doors,
15:52the kit man would sort your kit out, and give you a little bag.
15:56And as I got into, like, my bedroom,
15:59just before I was about to go training,
16:01the kit man's put four left feet in the bag.
16:06Like, in his boots.
16:07OK, fine.
16:08I thought...
16:09I'm not speaking Japanese!
16:11It sounded like you found four severed left feet in a bag.
16:14That is...
16:16So, you're saying that your kit man
16:18didn't bring any right foot boots, only left foot?
16:20Only left foot.
16:21Right.
16:22Oh, my God.
16:23Well, you've got two left feet.
16:24I watched you play.
16:25But...
16:26Oh!
16:27Wow!
16:28No, hold on.
16:29You turn up for your first England cab,
16:31and you haven't got your correct boots?
16:32I've not got my correct boots.
16:33So, what do you do?
16:34I'm 18, just about to make my debut.
16:37I've seen Steven Gerrard in the hallway,
16:39so I said, Steven, mate, I know this sounds ridiculous,
16:42but I've not got the correct boots.
16:44Can you lend me your boots?
16:46Can you lend me your boots?
16:47And he said, yeah.
16:48So, I go out and train.
16:49I'm unbelievable.
16:51I'm, like, amazing.
16:52I'm doing, like, bicycle kicks,
16:54and I'm passing and all that, and all that.
16:56I didn't pass the Lampard, like...
17:08After training, I'm buzzing, you know, like,
17:10I'm 18, I said to Gerrard,
17:12can I have these boots?
17:13He said, fuck off!
17:15They went, fuck off!
17:18Now, another member of that winning
17:20Under-21 squad who's since become key to the senior side
17:22is Cole Palmer.
17:24Jamie, would you make a Cole in this
17:26Cole Palmer celebration?
17:27Yeah, I love it.
17:28Love it.
17:29Oh, this, that.
17:30I'm going to be honest with you.
17:31It looks good in motion,
17:32doesn't look that great in a photo.
17:34Nice.
17:35Oh, that is...
17:38It doesn't quite work as a...
17:39Nah, it's a photograph.
17:40He doesn't look like he plays football
17:41in my mother's life.
17:42Looks like he does other things.
17:44When you see it as a photo,
17:45it's less, like, ice cold and more
17:47Nana's lost her winter fuel allowance.
17:53Nah, why is that thing so funny?
17:55I don't get it.
17:56Funny?
17:57It doesn't make sense.
17:58Why is it funny?
17:59I don't know.
18:00It's just...
18:01Because what's happened is it looks like...
18:02Basically, it looks like someone said,
18:04if you do the celebration with a photo,
18:05we'll release your family.
18:06So he's just...
18:11Is that enough?
18:12It's a great photo.
18:13I like the celebration, though.
18:14Yeah?
18:15Yeah.
18:16What was your celebration?
18:17Can you show us?
18:20Like that one and just a little head nod.
18:22What's that?
18:23Why are you doing that with your head?
18:24Because you're just a little...
18:25Please be yourself.
18:26I did all right, didn't I?
18:28I did all right, didn't I?
18:29I did all right.
18:30I scored a goal.
18:31Everyone, I scored a goal.
18:32It's true.
18:33Yeah, I did.
18:34Yeah, it was me, Jamie.
18:35I did it.
18:36I did it.
18:37I scored a goal I did.
18:38Yeah, it was me.
18:39The chin comes so far.
18:40You're like brutal,
18:41so I've been held hostage.
18:43Oh.
18:44Uh, Zoo, what celebration would you do?
18:47I'd probably do, like, a forward roll or something.
18:49You get me?
18:50Robbie Keating.
18:51But I can't really do the forward roll, though.
18:53OK.
18:54That feels like a stumbling block.
18:56But I can tell you what I'm talking about.
18:58Yeah, OK.
18:59Go for it.
19:00All right, cool.
19:01Come on, Zoo.
19:04What are you going to do then?
19:05Obviously.
19:06There it is.
19:07You know in primary school, when you're doing gymnastics for the first time,
19:10and everyone's doing the forward roll on their head?
19:12Obviously, being a young, fat man, it's quite dangerous for my neck.
19:16So I've never developed how to do a forward...
19:18So I don't actually know how to do a forward roll.
19:20OK.
19:21I know this floor is really hard.
19:22That's fine.
19:23So...
19:24Visualise score in the...
19:25What sort of goal have you just scored?
19:26Uh, left foot outside the box, more side left, top corner.
19:29Yeah, OK.
19:30Yes!
19:31Yes!
19:32Yes!
19:33Yes!
19:34Yes!
19:35Yes!
19:36Yes!
19:37Yes!
19:38Yes!
19:39Yes!
19:40Yes!
19:41Yes!
19:42One more, one more, one more!
19:43One more, one more!
19:44Would you catch it?!
19:45Oh yeah!
19:46Ooh!
19:47Ooh!
19:48Do you catch it!
19:49.
19:50.
19:51Sound it again, did you catch it?
19:52No, we got it, we got it.
19:53Is what?
19:54Because it was not...
19:55No, we definitely got it, Matt...
19:56No, we got it...
19:57No, we definitely got it, Matt.
19:58You know whenем...
19:59the fire brigade used to come to your school and tell you what to do,
20:00and the fact they'd say, stop droppin' roll.
20:02More of that.
20:03Yeah, stop droppin' roll.
20:04Yeah.
20:05Did I do it?
20:06Yeah.
20:07No, it's really good.
20:08Yeah, you did.
20:09You did.
20:10Do you not remember doing it?
20:11No, I don't know if I need a roll. Listen, when you score, you know what to do. Forward roll.
20:16That was sort of a side roll.
20:18I went forward roll. They were sort of applauding like, well done, that is, that was good, that was okay.
20:25Even Cole Palmer's giving one of them. Yeah.
20:28So one of these players' houses was used in a rom-com.
20:31Talking of houses, Micah, you've been a landlord, haven't you, to some Premier League footballers in your time.
20:36How do you know that? Huh?
20:37Because you brag about it backstage, Meeks.
20:40A few. Who was your worst tenant, Meeks?
20:44The one who didn't pay his bills.
20:47And the bailiffs come to the house and knocked off my door.
20:51They knocked off your door?
20:53Knocked my door down.
20:55Knocked your door down? Well, yeah.
20:57Okay, and then what happened?
20:59They came into my room while I was being intimate.
21:02Oh, damn.
21:03Who were you on your own?
21:05The connection was real.
21:09Yeah, go on. So then what happened?
21:12They basically asked me to pay a bill.
21:14I said it wasn't mean. It was like the past tenant.
21:17And then it got sorted out.
21:18And then...
21:19Oh, my God.
21:20...she asked my number.
21:21After all that?
21:22Yeah.
21:23Because she saw you doing a ting.
21:24Yeah.
21:25Yeah.
21:26Okay.
21:27Now, could Harry Kane be our bean guzzler?
21:29That's what Meeks was up to when the bailiffs came round.
21:35He's awesome.
21:36Uh, Zoo, you're our food expert, aren't you?
21:37Yep.
21:38Uh, where do you stand on beans? Are you a bean fan?
21:40I'm African. African people don't eat beans, bro.
21:41African people don't eat beans.
21:42Like, clear statements.
21:43That is a big... I mean, listen.
21:44Yeah.
21:45Africa's big, isn't it?
21:46Are you saying there's not a single African who eats beans?
21:48How long did it take you to conduct that survey?
21:49Ah, look.
21:50See the beans that are on that picture? Them type of beans.
21:51Those are baked beans.
21:52Yeah.
21:53Microwave, ding, one minute.
21:54Yeah.
21:55No way.
21:56Yeah.
21:57No, I get it. I get it. You're a baked bean fan mix?
21:59Uh, no.
22:00Cool.
22:01Cool.
22:02Yeah.
22:03Cool.
22:04Yeah.
22:05Yeah.
22:06Yeah.
22:07Yeah.
22:08Yeah.
22:09Yeah.
22:10Yeah.
22:11Yeah.
22:12Yeah.
22:13Yeah.
22:14Yeah.
22:15Yeah.
22:16Yeah.
22:17Yeah.
22:18Cool.
22:19OK.
22:20Listen, some of it is chat and some of you like to have short answers just to get a bit
22:24of intel, so that's cool.
22:25Maisie, beans?
22:26Yes.
22:27Jill, beans?
22:28Yes.
22:29Anthony, beans?
22:30Yes.
22:31Jamie, beans?
22:32No.
22:33Yeah.
22:34And me?
22:35No.
22:36OK.
22:37That BAFTA's on its way, isn't it?
22:38I know it is.
22:39Maisie, what food do you eat a lot?
22:40Penis.
22:41You said quick answers.
22:42You said quick answers.
22:43You said quick answers.
22:44My mum watches this show.
22:46Sorry.
22:47That's not even...
22:48Sometimes you could do an innuendo that works.
22:49Yeah.
22:50You can't just say penis.
22:51I've said, what food do you eat a lot and you said penis?
22:55I didn't hear your food.
22:56That's a good one.
22:57Amazing.
22:58Do you know what?
22:59How much cock do you eat?
23:00Fuck off.
23:01So, could it have been Phil Foden who went to see a £35 sidekick before the Euros? If only Southgate had seen one, they could have told him to move Foden into the middle and play Anthony on the left. Am I right, guys?
23:16Yes!
23:17Yes!
23:18Yes!
23:19Yes!
23:20While we're discussing England and psychic predictions, Anthony, you're in the squad and around the start in 11, we've established you a confident lad. So, I'm asking you this. World Cup in 2026, are we going to win it?
23:33We are.
23:34Yes!
23:35Yes!
23:36Come on!
23:37Let's go!
23:38We are.
23:39You said that.
23:40No hesitation.
23:41No hesitation.
23:42Really?
23:43I got no...
23:44No hesitations with it.
23:46Oh, my God.
23:47I am buzzing.
23:48Um, okay.
23:49Blue Team, I need an answer from you.
23:51Who's been nicknamed Beans because they eat so many of them?
23:54Who paid £35 to see a sidekick before the Euros?
23:57Whose house was used in a rom-com about a man who accidentally got a vasectomy from a ferret?
24:01Harry wouldn't need beans, would he?
24:03Shall we put beans with Cole Palmer?
24:04Too professional.
24:05I reckon Phil would probably get dragged along Manchester, he'd walk and shopping.
24:10Come on, let's go and see a sidekick.
24:11I reckon he'd go.
24:12All right, so Phil with a sidekick.
24:13Yeah.
24:14Right, so, Cole...
24:15Oh!
24:16Yeah.
24:17I've put Phil on top of Cole.
24:18And then Harry's just watching.
24:21There you go.
24:22You're so dutty, Jill Scott.
24:27Well, I can tell you that Cole Palmer is nicknamed Beans because he eats so many of them.
24:33Phil Foden did pay £35 to see a sidekick before the Euros.
24:37Yeah!
24:38And Harry Kane's house is using the wrong combat man actually.
24:40Well done, Nick.
24:42He scored 3 points!
24:44Now, Anthony, we just talked about you winning the Euros with the under-21s.
24:52Where do you keep your medal?
24:53You keep it somewhere safe, I imagine?
24:55Yeah, I keep it somewhere very safe, along with all my other individual awards.
24:59I haven't gotten on team ones yet, but...
25:01Well, I don't know if you're aware of this, Anthony, but you're actually surrounded by winners.
25:04Yeah?
25:05Cos, like, Meeks has won the Premier League.
25:07Jill has won the Euros, and Jamie, I don't know if you're aware of this, won the Coca-Cola Cup in 1994.
25:14Jamie, do you keep yours somewhere safe?
25:18I think Mum and Dad have got it.
25:20Well, that was quite handy, actually, because actually all three of you, with the help of your partners and families,
25:27unbeknownst to you, I've managed to get hold of those medals.
25:30How?
25:32Which partner?
25:33Pardon?
25:34Well, look, in all seriousness, I have got them.
25:39And not only do I have them, but I've done something very special with them.
25:42I think you're going to like this.
25:43Have a look at this.
25:44I think you've got to go.
25:45What?
25:46I've done something very special.
25:47Oh, my God.
26:17Oh, my God.
26:47Who earlier today sent your medals 40 kilometers above the Earth.
26:52Does it feel good?
26:53That's real.
26:53That's real, yeah.
26:54Jamie, why is yours?
26:55That's not real.
26:55It's real.
26:56What do you mean?
26:57That is real.
26:58It's real.
26:59That's my medal.
27:00Gone.
27:00Pardon?
27:01That's my medal.
27:01Gone.
27:02Well, it's up there.
27:04We can actually go live and find it.
27:05Your medals are in space.
27:07Have a look at this now.
27:07Now, I'm going to quiz you three.
27:14If you answer your question correctly, your medal will be safely returned to Earth.
27:20That's a sick line.
27:21If you lose, however, your medal will be jettisoned into space by pressing one of these buttons.
27:29Oh, my God.
27:29To anybody worried about the carbon footprint, we'll be offsetting this by recycling Jamie's face.
27:34Okay.
27:35So, all you have to do is answer very simple questions.
27:38Your medals will be around your neck again in no time.
27:40Okay.
27:41Let's play.
27:43Jill.
27:45Here's your question.
27:48To return your medal safely to Earth.
27:52This is insane.
27:53I know.
27:53I know.
27:54I actually got...
27:55Yeah.
27:55Who scored the winning goal when the Lionesses won the Euros?
27:59Oh, that's so easy.
28:01Chloe Kelly.
28:02It is Chloe Kelly.
28:03Well done, Jill.
28:05Your medal is safe and will be returned to Earth.
28:10Okay, Meeks, you're up next.
28:11Yeah.
28:12This is for your Premier League medal.
28:13It's on the line.
28:15I mean, he didn't contribute loads to it, but it's on the line.
28:18Your question...
28:20Your question.
28:22Who scored Man City's winner to secure their first Premier League title?
28:26Oh, come on.
28:30Who was it?
28:33Aguero.
28:33It was Sergio Aguero.
28:35Well done, Meeks.
28:37I feel like...
28:38Aguero!
28:40All three of these medals could be safe, Jamie.
28:43Jamie, I know how much this medal means to you.
28:46I know where this...
28:47I know where this...
28:48The same shot.
28:49Crazy.
28:50The same shot.
28:51I know where this medal is.
28:52I won that medal.
28:53I'm not joking.
28:54I will knock you out.
28:56I'm not afraid to hit someone with glasses on.
28:58I'm not afraid to hit someone with glasses on.
29:00All you've got to do is...
29:01Come on.
29:02All you've got to do is...
29:04You're such a prick.
29:09Oh my God.
29:10Those two was so easy.
29:12Listen, look.
29:13Those two were so easy.
29:14No, I'm...
29:15You're...
29:16Listen, look.
29:17Um...
29:18Listen, just concentrate.
29:20I think you got this, Jamie.
29:22Go on.
29:23Okay.
29:24So, as you know, Liverpool beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1...
29:26But mine and I've got two.
29:29To win the Coca...
29:30Wait for the question.
29:31Liverpool beat Bolton Wanderers 2-1 to win the Coca-Cola Cup in 1995.
29:36Jay, to save your medal, how many people were there?
29:52Seriously.
29:53Mate.
29:54It's livid.
29:55Oh my God.
29:5882...
29:59Yeah.
30:00Yes.
30:01Yeah.
30:02365 people.
30:04Unbelievable.
30:05No.
30:07It was...
30:0875,595.
30:09I really thought you'd know that, Jamie.
30:10Please don't really see the space.
30:12I didn't win that many medals.
30:13Anthony, will you do the honours for us, please?
30:14Really?
30:15Yeah, please.
30:16I'm savage.
30:17Okay.
30:18Oh my God.
30:19Oh my God.
30:20Oh my God.
30:21Oh my God.
30:22Oh my God.
30:23Oh my God.
30:24Savage.
30:25Okay.
30:26We're not on the...
30:27Okay, so everybody, audience please, we're going to count down from three.
30:29Three.
30:30Two.
30:31One.
30:32Blast off.
30:33Blast off.
30:34One.
30:35One.
30:42Give it up for...
30:43It was Anthony Gordon that did it.
30:45Give it up for Anthony Gordon, everybody.
30:46It's good, mate.
30:47Well done, Jill and Maika. Your medals are safe.
30:51Well done. Well done.
30:54So, at the end of that round, the scores are all square.
31:09This next round is all about the king of the wing.
31:12Gordon, sharp finish at the 21 Champions of Europe.
31:21We could go ban for ban, ban.
31:23Bingo.
31:24Gordon is on his way!
31:27And he scores!
31:31Gordon.
31:32Oh, Gordon!
31:34Once again, it's Jacob Murphy.
31:36Gordon!
31:37It's Gordon!
31:41It's Gordon!
31:45Newcastle fans rising from their seats around us.
31:48Anthony Gordon!
31:52It's Gordon!
31:53You could go ban for a ban.
31:55Bingo.
31:57It's Anthony Gordon!
32:00CHEERING
32:02Now, listen, let's roll back the years.
32:04You started your career at Everton.
32:06Yeah.
32:07Were all your family Everton fans, or was it a bit of a mix?
32:10I have no family members who support Everton.
32:13Really?
32:14None. Not one.
32:15Oh, so they were Liverpool.
32:16Yeah.
32:17All Liverpool.
32:18So it was quite strange.
32:20Why didn't you go there, then?
32:22So I was at Liverpool and they released me.
32:24Oh, man.
32:25Yeah, when I was 11.
32:26And then Everton signed me.
32:27And then they were trying to buy it back in the summer for,
32:29what, 80 million is mad, isn't it?
32:30Crazy.
32:31But when you went to Everton, how did your family feel about that?
32:35As long as we lost, they were all right.
32:37Like, if I scored, they were like,
32:39if you scored, great, but we want you to lose still.
32:41Really?
32:42Yeah.
32:43But my family are, like, really, really bitter Liverpool fans.
32:45Now, at Newcastle, I imagine you must all make an effort
32:48to help players settle in, especially ones from foreign countries.
32:51Would you like to explain what happened here to Sandro Tonali, please?
32:55He's got a 7.45 reservation at Wetherspoon.
33:00What's going on there?
33:02Still to this day, I don't know how this happened.
33:04I don't think it was a prank, though.
33:06I wish it was, because it would be a great story.
33:08But I think he genuinely didn't know any restaurants in the area,
33:11and he's being directed to Wetherspoons.
33:13No!
33:14Well, that feels like a prank, doesn't it?
33:15No, it's basically Wetherspoons.
33:16What good restaurants are in the area, and somebody said,
33:19oh, Tonali, you've got to go to Wetherspoons, mate.
33:21Meeks, do you still do Wetherspoons?
33:24I've never been to Wetherspoons.
33:25You've never been to Wetherspoons?
33:26No.
33:27You've not lived.
33:29I don't drink beer, though, do I?
33:31You've never been to Spoons?
33:32Never been to Spoons.
33:33You're a bougie bag.
33:34Yeah.
33:35I drink more whiskey and tequila.
33:37Right.
33:38They do do that, there.
33:39Do they?
33:40Yeah.
33:41Oh, I thought it was just pints.
33:42No, but it's like served in a washing-up bucket.
33:45Just take a sip and pass it on.
33:48No, but, bruv, you have to go to a Spoons.
33:51There's all different types across the country.
33:54They're really nice and interesting, bro.
33:56I think this might be you that's sent Tonali to...
34:00Uh, Anthony, what's the worst prank a teammate has ever played on you?
34:03I haven't been pranked that much.
34:05I went on loan at Preston once.
34:07And, like, I still to this day, don't know who it was,
34:09but they put, like, Deep Heat on the rear end of me boxes.
34:14That's like the old classic.
34:16Deep Heat's like...
34:17Yeah, I mean, I'll be honest with you, I do it for fun, but...
34:21As a prank, it must be horrendous.
34:23Yeah, it wasn't nice, especially when you don't know.
34:25Yeah, I mean, that's horrible.
34:26Yeah.
34:27To experience that and know it's horrible.
34:28You don't know where it's come from,
34:29and then you put your pants back on as well.
34:30You know what? Exactly.
34:31Yeah.
34:32I never told anyone that it happened, though,
34:33so I made it seem like they must have got someone else.
34:35Was that the front door or your back?
34:37So, at the bottom?
34:38It's like near your arse crack.
34:40Yeah.
34:41Just at the under this.
34:42On your Ballon d'Ors.
34:44That's not good.
34:45Anthony, I know you're into visualisation, as you said.
34:47Are you also renowned as being one of the more mature
34:50and intelligent footballers out there?
34:52But let's be honest, it's a low bar.
34:54How else do you train your brain?
34:56I like to read.
34:58I read a lot of books and chess.
35:00I love chess.
35:01Really?
35:02It's such a hard game.
35:03I say I love it.
35:04I'm not one of them who's unbelievable at it,
35:06but I'm at a decent level.
35:07Could you play chess, Jeremy?
35:08Can he fuck?
35:09No.
