“And if you pause it here they’re still using her name when they’re about 20 yards away, what’s going on there?”

“Come on, Jamie, let’s fuck off over here and talk about the footballs together like real men without any women asking us stupid questions. Look at her in her fucking pink coat. Jesus.”
