Shoots and stuff like that it wasn’t too bad but yeah turns into one of those oh you’ll be here for an hour and then next minute there till 6 pm. at night soar [Laughter] sounds yeah that looks good bit rash coming on allergic allergic to primar what

Happen you actually yeah it do a primar that’s it is that going to be a Christmas jumper this year yeah for the Christmas don’t know the boys probably yeah it’s ironic isn’t it cuz he’s absolutely loaded and he’s now wearing A5 P jump it was it was actually discounted I’m getting it for

Free business that is business business rich rich did you invite Emma in case Ollie and cam didn’t come today just to prove that you no I said Emma come up come up and get some food be ready she’s been here for an hour been still not ready so should come up with Charlie

Have a bit of food and we’ll go home together nice and easy but yeah but we won’t blame the Traer we’ll blame the non defrosted turkey are you going to use that girl there once the weather gets a bit better get the boys around the summer some of

The South Africans like them use it I think but they won’t understand that cuz that is a smoker that is a wood pellet smoker so they’ll be like no mean what the [ __ ] mean where the fireman I need fireman pman and they’ll be they’ll be GED with

That but you’ll be able to be like watch this then boom stick your meter pen in it sit back couple points and it Cooks it for you you boys ever you come across triggers before I actually haven’t but now I’ve just seen that one outside be

An investment I think in the all TR feel like oh so where can I get myself business love that n good bit of Kit you’re going to be using that a lot aren’t you I think I’ll use it more than than I think about you know yeah I think

Just now cuz I’m used to obiously cooking in the kitchen it’s different yeah you can’t do a car get us but well you can re you can cook everything on it you can do a car got induction induction side got the big Dr bit that’s it then

Boys no excuses around his house for a barbecue although the grass needs to out it’s [ __ ] got Jes the grass is an absolute [ __ ] disgrace man I was like what is happened here you been pissing on it or something course put at the World Cup

Didn’t cut it and then it just grew to like this length and gner came around and he cut it to what he the length it’s at like this yeah and he just said like can’t do anything else for that I’ll try and come back in the spring and fix it

But I’ve got to leave it as it is yeah you want to sort that out but talking to you got the social coming up what’s the plan for the Christmas party the one coming up is just dinner at the club isn’t it or lunch at the club and then

After the game on the 23rd there going be a social after that I’ll be heading up the road so um I think there’s some social plan for after the game but I don’t know what it is come on Ollie to us what is it uh I don’t really know

It’s fair it’s Cam’s birthday that day so I think we probably have to celebrate for him a bit um but I reckon whoever whichever the lad stay down obviously somebody shooting off back home um and avoiding the drinking who’s who’s social set do you guys have Hill mat

Mat and wi yeah how did Underhill get that game I don’t he asked for it not sure about thatly I came back from the World Cup and I heard unders was social second I was thinking quizzical as the coach’s Choice yeah well someone’s got to be the only social

The only social we’ve had so far I’ve been at the Ludo the sports baring BFF as well so we’ve like been there twice or three times now as well so we need good God need a few a few different like you know changes I think we’ve got one

Coming up a little crawl in in BFF actually maybe see you around boy yeah but that’s what I was going to say you boys surely you have to do your socials out of bath because it’s a small Ro Place we’ve got one plan for like they’re going to Paris away they’re

Doing the Paris away leg in like Feb time oh right not just a social for yeah so OB when six Nation’s on the Prem takes a bit of a break so all the players stuff for a social yeah see that’s much better get to l two days disrespect

[ __ ] yeah so that’s a shame but um no I mean so far since I’ve been at B the socials have been limited let’s say but they always like the end of season one seems to be a good one to go on yeah but the cohesiveness is there boys so what

Is it cuz usually I think it is the social that brings you together don’t point at yourself what’s ch ch is he is he he does it very quietly he does it quietly you say Little D other than Finn Russell what like what what you feeling boys

What you feeling don’t let this man you obviously been it before uh we’re just pretty consistent with it I think in a in a like kind of being a bit geek in a rugby sense we’re just being consistent we’re not kind of um when we win we’re

Not really buzzing buzzing and when we lose we’re not like down we just kind of every Monday is the same um obviously a few sigers we’ve signed this year with Thomas DET toy as well he’s he’s been brilliant um O’s obviously only been here a year just over a year year now I

Think him and Ted um and Alfie barar he’s come back and played so um yeah it’s just consistency I think and enjoying each other’s company and enjoying playing together um and obviously when you’re get a bit of momentum of winning stuff I think we last year we were we lost about three or

Four games in the first six weeks of by a point or something really really Petty so um yeah it’s just a little bit of that really and obviously fin has helped a little bit [ __ ] thought your boys going to butcher it against Cardiff 12th in the URC I was worried about it yeah

Now we came in a hard time I remember saying to cam and I was like was a score and he was like yeah we’re losing I was like [ __ ] h i how are we losing this game like no offense like I think we went into the game probably not like

Putting them down a bit but just being like well we’re off the back of playing quite well in the pr um we’d obviously beat allar at home and every we were like oh we should be able to come out here and let’s let’s go and like you

Know pump this team and I think we just got a bit sloppy and erors errors cost us and allowed them to get into the game 43 minutes in [ __ ] bonus points for both teams opal yeah it was option yeah defense is option think that day AST

That’s what you want to see though score that’s Champions rby death by points beautiful so you tried to avoid saying that it was Finn that had made the big difference and Finn saying that it was Finn making the big difference for this season and that is and that’s definitely not his chat it’s

Definitely but obviously more consistency but let’s go back to the fun parts and and the social side of things who’s been the best value coming into the team now it’s got to be Alfie barbery he is um he’s very sensible when he needs to be but uh when he’s not and

He’s uh he can be he can be good fun I’ll say that’s what I’m gonna say nudity loves it yeah yeah love that you got you got it Maggie he’s obviously M bad loves just getting naked like instantly no matter what Alfie just doesn’t remember getting naked that’s

The issue he did a at the Christmas Market the other day did you see that yeah yeah he seems like he seems like a bit of an odd job and that’s what that’s what you need you need people out in the team yeah yeah he’s just he’s just good

Fun everything he’s he’s up for everything he doesn’t really mind getting the piss taken out of him and he loves a bear every once in a while and uh yeah when he’s I mean he’s been fit this year so he’s kind of rewarding himself after the weekend after the

Games and he’s playing quite well so well me that’s what it’s like I’m not even lying who hates the gym more barbar or fin though uh Finn’s trying really hard in the gym at the minute I think he’s trying to impress everyone but it’s uh he keeps getting he keeps getting

Cramping he always says you can’t pull musers you don’t have and now he’s got them are you right no I’m not are you actually going to the gym now are you just one session a week oh really this more than normal but the push me harder than I have done the Last

5 Years in terms of the weights but um I’ve had a word with and I’m M play rugby not to to body still looking quick though I don’t know who’s are you you got does he get proba normal he had Al Martin for a bit now

Deing himself now down to the I’ve got R Mur for the yeah yeah does he he keeps you wrapped up does he uh yeah I see him a couple times a week um he’s good really good physio uh enjoying working with him but then I’ve changed snc

Coach he get agreements were he was getting pushed a bit too hard yeah cuz Al literally Al Martin his rsnc he looks after me Spenny Joe and Finn and it was like all us three last year OB Finn joined this year and we were like I was

I said to Finn I was like you’re you’re in for it here man like there’s no like cutting any reps like he’s down your throat like one two um I hate those guys two three and then I was like see how long this lasts literally like last week

All of a sudden we just see F the gym like out where’s Finn G yeah he’s wor with Jack now he’s he’s moved down to agree to disagree well how many coaches are there so yeah six it’s like three that look after Academy three that look after

Senior Lads and do you get to pick well no well unless you wrestle even I don’t think I picked the change I was yeah well we’re just we see the the gym differently I think yeah I’ve tried I’ve tried to have this conversation with him but I’ve just not

Managed to you know gudge out yet so do you yeah but do you enjoy the gym no you don’t enjoy the gym no cam I hate it Max Max yeah I love the gym everyone yeah we will know this I do love the tin do you

You you see our Murdo don’t you uh yeah I do see our yeah do do you enjoy that yes I do enjoy that what what what’s I think it’s more like you’re specifically with one person and like you’re doing everything based on like what he thinks you need and you just get that

One-on-one feedback a lot better I think oh you just for an intro Al murdo’s the bath speedworks coach yeah he’s the wizard basically yeah he’s the man for generating speed and velocity yeah it’s a good look um but yeah no I just I don’t know me and Jim have just never

Really come hand in hand like it’s one of those things you have to do it to to stay fit and stay healthy and it’s one of those things I just think facilitates what happens on the Rugby field that surprises me just because given how you play because you I say first and

Foremost you’re like a freak Show athlete like very Dynamic I just just thought that would have been something I just think I’ve just been lucky a bit with like genetics and stuff like that that I haven’t had to push as hard in the gym as other people have had to or

Some people choose whether they want to do it or not um but yeah no I don’t I can’t say I love it but I get it done get it done who’s the biggest me head now at both uh who loves the 10 um Benzel always loved it Chris he loves go to the

Gym weird Ted Hill inj at the moment and he’s put on some serious SI you got massive when so when I was at buff he was just a nice little academy boy yeah then when every time we play him now he like shake his hands and stuff he’s

Ginormous man he likes the gym yeah he lik I’ve been going to blaze at David ly Rec The Blaze the blaze me and 25 other women The Blaze like car i’t getting the Red Zone [ __ ] off [ __ ] leave me alone well they got the heart rate belt on you and checking

Yeah I I could [ __ ] clean a gym like you would believe I get the broom at like give it a little sweet but this is a [ __ ] disgrace in it and managed to just do a bit of cleaning must be just cleaner in the back yeah pretty much

Just like [ __ ] this yeah you you could get away with doing absolutely nothing in the gym even with who’s the bloke no you could yeah you watch I’m [ __ ] I’m telling you like you K Eddie Jones the other day a cunning Fox that’s what I would have been like I would have been

Going to right we’ll start typical Russell Christmas back my mom and dad’s house probably wake up a bit hung over from the night before 4 the 24th um yeah have breakfast chill out give the presents out and then have dinner about 5ish um and then just depending what’s on after that we either

Stay in the house or go elsewhere so presents how do you guys do them do you individually hand them out do you stock them are you talking about when he was a child or when he is now he is an adult you don’t you always carry what you did

As a child no they’ll all be under the tree and then either my sister or my mom or someone I’ll just give them out like pull one out like that’s for you Archie that’s for you Harry and so on so for yeah yeah you just kind of open them as

You go um and then if it’s like clo and you’ve got to get put it on straight awek yeah I love that yeah that’s that’s a fan thing as well is it Nico hat gloves put all straight on put all [ __ ] on eaten he was like scarf around his

Neck drinking the whole bottle of Malibu I’m like what the [ __ ] is going on it and he’s like you brother ate the whole Terry shot I was like [ __ ] H it’s like mate chill out but that’s the way to do it yeah try it on try it on now

Few years that we’ll all be be back in Scotland so I think we have it at my big brothers this year and my big brothers so different with the little one this year having to go between the two the two parents house you know the two grandparents house of

Course makes so got to go back and forward a little bit of driving but um hav everyone there um Emma was saying that you’re buying for everyone who you like you don’t know this yet but you’re buying for everyone so you got to buy a present for every single person in your

Family when it gets to like my family remember I got four sisters we got 17 kids between us all so you can’t then buy for 17 kids and all the adults do you know what I mean so you have to then Whittle it down to the kids I think for

Me and the siblings are always buying like kind of a present for each one but between us I that makes sense so me and my two brothers will get something for my sister what have you bought arches nothing yet what’s the budget I don’t know well my budget for beex is like 50

Quin she’s my wife um I don’t know I’ve got some Adida stuff which is free so but that’s fine so zero again watch watch we’ll see a picture of [ __ ] christop Archie Russell wearing a [ __ ] Prim yeah and it’s always been the same though way always up in Scotland fck

Yeah with the family I was in Paris one year when it was C actually Ry typical Christmas day for you yeah usually I go back home uh around Christmas Eve time back to Birmingham go out my mat go to the pubs on Christmas Eve and then yeah

Feel bit ropey on Christmas day in the morning so I’m an only child so parents just used to spoil me with presents so I’d be the one with like a massive pile and then they’d have their little PES over um and then very similar to SP one

By one just open your presents any gears you get just throw them on um used to keep the like the underwear to for another day to put them on didn’t put them on in front of the parents you know mean don’t put that on now that was right but yeah no pretty

Chilled um this year actually I’m spending my Ms there her family so that be a bit different first time doing that um so yeah I’m up in chelam big change up yeah get serious exactly bit engaged yet no no not quite yet oh so yeah so yeah then that’ll just be a yeah

A little like pub crawl in in chelham on on Christmas Eve and then spend it at the family house with the siblings and stuff on Christmas day are you getting grief from your parents spend uh my mom’s not too happy yeah Mom’s not too happy but I think she’s coming

Down I can imagine being a only child when you’re like to your mom and dad finally I’m going to began the misses oh right unforgivable okay then when I first told her I think she didn’t speak to for about a week um that I think she didn’t realized that

She wanted to speak to me because you know she’s not gone else to fall on otherwi so you know can’t really say much more mindset for buying the gifts for your potential in-laws uh I keep it simple I just like kind of say to Emily just you

You and and we’ve got a tradition you got wear it now put it on now no I just let her I let her do all of like the in-law’s presence and then like I’ll just contribute towards it I I trust her taste more than mine otherwise she’ll

Have a go at me if for spending too much money and be like oh she doesn’t they don’t want this they don’t want that like I just trust her to do everything and then I’ll just buy her presents and my friends and my family my stuff so

Um someone told me that yesterday I think yeah long for B good oh not bad they got some they got some frats on the edge yeah cam what are you wanting for this Christmas I’m not very good cuz my birthday two days before so um that’s brutal right yeah my

Mom mom and dad never really know what to kind of do for me so I just I’m not really I don’t really like getting gifts I prefer giving them just cuz of I just yeah would you normally get presents two days before and then get presents on Christmas day didn’t mom

Would try and um um make it like oh that’s Cam’s birthday so it’s not Christmas and then as soon as it was done it was like now Christmas um and then she was she’s quite uh like around Christmas she loved to like kind of try

And spoil us old and try and make it like we’re still kids uh she still tries to make us believe that Santa’s real and we’re like Mom Dad told me when other the dog W on it was oh yes s is real um I just want to

Ask one more question th and a singer absolutely flying at the moment is he going to play for England Six Nations cuz he’s on fire he’s not got Finn at 10: that’s one thing but he’s got you at 12 so you can help him out but he he’s he’s

Going pretty well yeah he’s going well started scoring a few tries um yeah he’s had a I think I think yeah he’s definitely put himself forward to being in contention to be to be in that Squad and hopefully he does because as many as we can get as many bath boys as possible

In the in the team and um yeah it’s only a benefit really and we take down these two is pissed here’s your secret s and what’s this that is from you to fin your secret s [Laughter] thinks love this is for you this genuine it’s a bottle opener

But it’s the that’s the infinity yeah the I just figured it makes sense for you yeah different it open it just a different Vibes I guess open it I want to see what it is I don’t even understand it sounds like you’re talking about [ __ ] Warhammer or something it

Is pretty much it’s Marble oh God why it loses little you didn’t finish now I can crack my bottles open with all the stones you know the only reason I know what that is cuz of fortnite that was fornite wasn’t it yeah that was in quite well made quite well

Made sorry boys sorry that you got to sit watch gifts and Finn I mean we didn’t know you were coming so this one you have to put hot water in hot water in fin from us to you you picking this up for the M or nothing show

Enjoy you will not be happy if I pull [ __ ] over the million million dollar man do you know what that is I I have no [Laughter] idea I’m so jealous I want that imagine giving that to one of the kids by accident that is amazing I’m very jealous

I’m slightly worried because we haven’t talked as much rugby as they did on the the last podcast you did but it’s been a lot more [ __ ] fun it’s been weirder longer yeah but you’ve loved it do you know the problem is I I made it long so

I could spend as much time as I want with you it’s normal [ __ ] love you man oh that was sweet for a second it was emotional terrorism but then it was sort of in so I quite like that got a sort of strange question for you very

And Christmas um if you were in a mortal fight with any animal barehanded which animal do you think you could take me me and Finn actually had this conversation in the World Cup’s camp we had um we was like in the team room just bored as anything and we were just saying like

This I reckon I could take a crocodile down and who said that the ever Genji was like your easy crocodile no do you know what I just sit let it sit there and I’d get on his back and poke his eyes out and then it couldn’t see me and

I’ just keep jabbing it and try to just roll you and roll you roll yeah if it rolls it’ll probably hurt but it’s only rolling and then sooner or later it’ll get tired and then I’ll just jab its eyes again it can’t see me I’ll run away

Run around the room so it doesn’t know where I am and then just keep battering it he thought about it good thought cam red path out round one done crocodile done a notorious man eating animal but fair enough I like way your head s oh bet I’ll bet you to the hills mate

I’ll bet you yeah we’re talking about like degree of size in terms of like its size or be specific like beast mode you know what I mean like are we talking like you could have a small like a snake for example that’s going to be more venomous

Than like a giraffe cuz I would choose giraffe cuz I could just kick it leg down a giraffe yeah cuz if you just went at a giraffe and it’s like got its knee yeah but they do that you see when they batter things that are trying to eat

Them be you going how you going I’m like coming from behind and I’m just going to like try and grab onto one of its legs and try my best to snap it cuz then it’s only got three legs it can’t go anywhere bro those giraffe’s legs are different

I’m going my best or just like maybe flying kick just straight at one of the legs and if and if you miss if I miss then yeah I’m dust but I’m I’m going for it man have you seen a real giraffe yeah one with a giraff is a terrible

Idea I’m just trying to take down the biggest animals do you know what I mean that’s it if I’m going down I’m going down fighting yeah but is it is it meant to be a realistic question like cuz be a sheep that’s reasonable yeah that’s reasonable like crocodile you know what

I mean but all sounds things Finn’s been hitting the gym hard at bath so I think once a week he said once a week once a week so I’m giving him I’m I Reon sheep’s [Laughter] [ __ ] oh there’s been so much rugby chat in this is unbelievable sadly

That’s all the time we’ve got left for this week and for the rest of the year our Christmas special is over a huge thank you to Finn to olle and to cam for being such Legends and waiting so long for their dinner huge thank you to Ryan

Sauce you not you think it’s a good idea oh it’s bread sauce oh you don’t like bread sauce no I do know our relationship with ribbons trumps everything in terms of longevity so you can eat like terribly as as sleeping and I like that Rel that’s not
