LF. By the way, I want to introduce you to a person who understands sports better than we do. Taken together . In fact, even if we put us together, Tash understands X3 sports better than we do. That's all, then let's not be smart at all today. This is an option, yes. It was as if I brought a classmate to my older brother's yard and lost all the arguments about the posts. There is no Wikipedia. It's eighty- nine. Yes. You have Wikipedia in your place. Yes. Well, you have it, you have it. Yes. In our Wikipedia, as we know, everything was invented by Armenians, including Wikipedia. No need. Let's begin. That's why you have this Freudian slip in your Wikipedia entry, you see . Damn, now I think we'll finally reach the end . Who are Italians more like , Georgians or I still look like? No, the Italians are ours. From us it's all yours, guys, oh everything, everything, everything , everything is yours, except American football. A person who understands American football, hockey, soccer, meaning European football. I'll add that it is, yes, soccer. Ask us to add entropy in the comments, let them come running. Yes, yes . And, of course, man is aymen man. Ironman in the past or in the present. Now we will find out all this . Retired. Well, the most important thing is that he is not a cyclist. Active. Active cyclist. Well, you need to talk about the bees, about yours, about all that stuff . Mamel, you know the term Mamel. How is Mamel? No, I don't know. Middle age man inра middle-aged man in lycra. This always looks terrible in the eyes. But this is mine. No, I will never start riding bicycles. Just because of your shape. He just adores Biba. Beebs are your diapers. Why are there Beebs and no Bob? You just need to come up with something so that... Are you at this stage of humor, right ? I'm on this, I'm on this, I'm not yet a jerk, I'm just used to it. So the first level is puns, right? Our format is the first level of puns. These are the kind of jokes that make you laugh no matter what level they are at. Biba and Boba make me laugh a lot. There you see, there you see. Well, and the most important thing, that’s what I wanted to start with, is that he is a Lokomotiv fan. That's right, Lokomotiv. How long has it been since we participated in the same presentation? Yes, but your face is there, and mine is not. How are you at the very beginning? Yes, but you need to know that I did not declare my face there. That is, I was riding a bicycle at speed in the background. Well, I saw you. Oh, okay. And that's what I'm counting on you for. No, I couldn't be on the ass. Why? Yes, I have contractual obligations. No, I have some disagreements with the club’s management once again. Already at this stage, yes, I was already lost. I had a long and intense affair with the previous management, after which I swore off the law. But it seems to me that they have given a weakening. No, well, with Ilya Gerkus everything was fine. Before that, there was Smoroskaye there . fiftyfifty. Before that there was Kiknadz, with whom, well, I also, like, now after that , yes, everything was fine at first, everything was fine until the moment they cancelled my concert. And they cancelled it, it was the football club that cancelled the lawn. No, it's a lawn, the agronomist has approved everything. He said: "Bring me some covering from Minsk." Problem. What's the problem? Here. Ah, well they said that the schedule might play against the national team or something else. We are not a calendar, well, some kind of nonsense. Here. Uh yes, we presented it. Have you been there? I was at the shoot, but unfortunately they didn't film me . But the background was free. It's good that it's our own, by the way, the fact that big brands have left Russian football has its advantages, because now, essentially, all the design is done by the clubs. Yes. Because of this, if you look, there are very diverse and interesting stories. We know Artem, who is developing it. A very nice young man. Let's say hi to Artyom. He is a very big, very big fellow. Ever since the time they made merch for the south, they did it. Very cool. It would be my pleasure. And during the last presentation he gave me a poster with a story. Yes, all forms. Forms, all forms. Hello. It's really nice when a person is obsessed with little things and there he is, wearing a third uniform with reflective stripes, like the conductors. He adds some little things there. I would take the green one, which is called Gucci. Why is she Gucci? Because the colors are Gucci. Oh , yeah. I don't have a question, it's just that inside this color is called green, it's called Gucci, that's why But I liked it. It's clear. I got this retro one last year . Yes. And this year it's green. Well, this is also a powerful, of course, good form. Bench. How long have you been rooting for Listen? I'll tell you this. This is the same question that I moved, essentially to Moscow in 1997. Yes. And objectively, a person who has spent his entire adult life living in Yerevan has a history of relationships with big Moscow teams. Specifically to the Moscow ones. Well, the teams that Ararat played with were Dynamo, CSKA, Spartak, Torpedo. Moreover, Ararat has always played quite successfully against Moscow teams. There was even this Moscow champion there at one time, Yerevan Ararat, because, well, in those years the stands were probably packed, yes, but these teams, namely Harad, played well against Moscow teams, played very poorly against Ukrainian ones, because they were all such horse teams based on athleticism, especially the dynamic ones. and I always played terribly against Zalgiers, because it's a childhood trauma for me, when I remember Zalgiers coming and coming out, well, imagine, if Basque is like this, like when before the start of any Champions League match they come out with the kids, you know, yeah, formation. Here, the Ararat players and the Jackie players always looked on different levels and, naturally, there was no chance, never was. And even in the Rus' era this was always a funny topic. Eh, they didn't show away matches . Yes. Home matches of the national team were shown on the national channel. And away matches were only broadcast on the radio during the second half. And there was this commentator who was tied to karate. And from the first notes of his voice it was clear what he was doing. If the tragedy has already been included, then it is already clear. The first two flew in. Here. And considering that you come and, as they say, support your local, you need to be for some team. And Lokomotiv was, of course, the fifth wheel back then. This is a team that was floundering somewhere . And as a conditional object, a three-dimensional object, which a child, for example, or, a new fan, can cling to, he had nothing then. There was this terrible stadium. Yes. I don’t even remember three fans, but he was in the place where this place was, there was a terrible, very old, bad stadium. And then we all got involved, Sarkis was playing there and somehow we started zvo opaopa and then suddenly Izmailov and all this movement started. And then suddenly, while I was still living, plus I moved, I lived for a while in the Dynamo area, and Lokomotiv started building a stadium and played at Dynamo. Yes. These are zeros, the beginning of zeros. And so somehow I walked and so on. And so, before my very eyes, from a completely dull name, a completely incomprehensible club that existed in history, it turned into a flagship of Russian football with its own history. I remember those wonderful times when everyone supported Lokomotiv when it played in the Champions League, because it was a cool team. Then another story began, we became friends with Dima Sennikov. This is the lineup that makes you remember what kind of monsters there were, right? Lasko, Ignashevich, boss, that’s all. And all this was the men who had there after every Moscow match the so -called rally, when not all the adults were there together with the young people, so the restaurant itself came. He was at this union, I think. Well, I was there, yes, I was there. And the owner there was a Lokomotiv fan. And Lokomotiv always held these corporate parties there. And it was cool there, because there was such a permanent integration, there were young footballers, then Samedov was like a young man, but with the older ones, because he understands all the concepts there. And it all turned into a big gang, which, well, evoked great love and sympathy. I think that right now we could fall into some kind of, you know, this anti-modern fallout because of this. Everything is bad football now, that's all and so on. Now there are a lot of, yes, comparisons with Da. Well, as I remember, in Kazakhstan, when someone, you know, was at an event there, there’s this trend, you know, on Instagram, when someone is compared to something, in the end, they’re the winner. I remember there was a choice between Cristiano Ronaldo and Zidane. I chose Zidane. And there it is in the comments on the Wat portal. And I understand that there are fifteen-year-old children there who have never seen Zidane. Have you seen it? Would you choose the same? I would take Zidane. I chose Zidane too, yes. Although, of course, yes, of course, he’s a great football player and all that. Respect and admiration for Cristiano, he is certainly a great master and so on, but I don’t even have a doubt in my head who is cooler than Zidane. And Zed wants different positions again. What about Zidane or Messi? Listen, well, the question is, well, there are no doubts here, because there I have no doubts, but here I have doubts. I know, it's probably a question of legitimacy, and, well, I don't know, it's a question of the emotional component. Here the choice is difficult, but there it is unconditional. In general, even if we touched on personnel, maybe you could name your three favorite Lokomotiv players. of all times. Yes. Well, from the moment I started getting sick. Oh, listen, well, probably Lasko first of all , but uh, I can’t mention Senya. Sennikov. Well, let's maybe leave him out of the equation, because he's a great friend of yours. Yes, moreover, I remember it perfectly well. I don’t know how many goals Senya scored there, two or three, but I remember the future defenders, but I remember this clearly, I remember the moment when he scored a goal. It was some year, I don’t remember. Ah, listen, Sychev, despite the whole situation, that he just flashed by like a bright flash, but still this outstanding si was very bright. M. Third. Well, let's give the young people a chance, because that's what Lesha Alexey is doing now , yes, Alexey is a powerful Batrakov, if anyone doesn't know. Yes, we are talking about Batrakov. This is fantastic. It is possible that this is due to the general condition and level of the player, yes, but at the same time, his unconventional decision-making, speed of thought, he is an impressive footballer. Yes, very much. By the way, I don’t know whether you noticed or not. Now we'll get back to this, but it seems to me alone that the average height of RPL players, well, it seems to be getting lower and lower and lower in general. Here are the young people who are coming, look, Kislyak, I don’t know, Batrakov, Piyaev, well, players who are becoming noticeable. Dynamo attack, I forgot his name, a young guy, and so on. Well, they are 1 meter 75 there. That is, we don’t have dimensions. That is, of course, we are not talking about defenders who appear one way or another, like Deveev, Morozov, I don’t know, and so on. Here's about the midfield and attack. You know, this is probably an argument in favor of the fact that growth is no longer the only argument. Yeah. In the youth team, with the increase in the speed of decision-making and so on, this becomes important, but at the same time, look, all these young people think in their heads, among other things. Yes, yes, that's what I'm talking about, that somehow it was leveled out, that nuance disappeared that yes, football players in general were never, well, tall, yes, no, well, they were. Well, it was such a phenomenon, no, it was like playing directly on the attack. This trend is very visible in hockey. There are a lot of guys now, less so before, there were definitely one or two hockey players who went beyond the limits, like Martin Saint-Louis and so on. And now there are significantly more of them. For someone who doesn't know much about this, how much does a skate add to height? How many? Centimeters. No, well 20 is unlikely, but 101 adding 10, probably. Yes, it's somewhere around 10. And my top three players and I need to start hitting. I would 100% name Laskov. I would 100% name Izmailov. And mm third place, well, I'm the same. I would probably be just delighted. I recently wrote to Lesha Batrakov himself. He posted about this when he scored three goals against Spartak. And my son studies at the Lokomotiv Academy. I don’t know, he was almost ready to tear his hair out when he scored the third one. I say, "Listen, you're the one who's inspiring these very young guys right now. I understand that this isn't a big responsibility for you, but nevertheless , keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going." Here are my top three, they are completely different for me. Let's. Yes. Zasadzhanashi. Yes. Mikhail Shvetiya and Malkhassani. Malkhassayani. Moreover, he was our neighbor in Kutavis, as it were. Well, I have no other options. And you are a torpedo man, right? I? Why a torpedo? wrap yourself up. Ah, well, yes, yes. We walked and looked. By the way, you started to remember with such warmth how you I just even such enemies of Lokomotiv here. I immediately ran into this, like I was a torpedo. Do you have any enemies left? Yes, there are none left this year. Yes. Bench. They'll write to you now. Ses. Let these two people write, who are these two people. Moreover, I know them. I always remember the lawsuit that one famous Armenian solo performer and so on and so forth , on the wave moved to America. Well, when it was, you know, there was a period when everyone had to do this, like they were absolutely sure that they would achieve success in America. I recorded an album with my own money and in a store. Well, of course, this whole story failed, naturally. And he's walking through sunny Los Angeles, and his classmate is walking towards him, and she says: "Oh, Arthur, hi, dear. I'm so glad. I recently bought your disc at the GTA store. Was that you?" Yes. Something in this is from this series. No, you started to remember with such warmth how you went to Ararat. And a question immediately popped into my head. It's clear that you lived through the classic golden era of the Soviet league. How old were you when you walked? Listen, my grandfather had a season ticket. Here. And I just wanted to ask you who brought you to football for the first time and do you remember the ticket for every match inside. Moreover, there was also a group stage there with several group matches of the FIFA World Youth Championship. Yes. It was also included in the subscription. It was included in the subscription. No, I remember, my grandfather drove, and it was funny there. Coca-Cola was already a sponsor of FIFA at that time. Yes. And Coca-Cola in Yerevan is, you know, there is a concept in the Armenian language, when you rarely see a person and they say: “Oh, you’re just like New Year’s lemonade.” This very same New Year's lemonade was from Coca-Cola. I remember when Coca-Cola was brought to the stadium in crates and that was it. What was this that was given away for free? No, they did sell them, but they only sold them during the match at the stadium. And by the way, I also caught a very important thing, when, you know, I really liked Fanta, and I always, when I drank Fanta in modern times, damn, in childhood, somehow the taste of Fanta was the other gender. I understood why. The thing is that when we were kids and drank Fanta, we drank it warm. They didn't sell cold beer on the street, there was no refrigerator, we drank warm beer. And that's why it's imprinted in our memory as warm. Nt fanta is the taste of warm fanta. That 's why in childhood there was some other kind of fantasy. Yes, it was, because it was warm. Well, not at all. Everything tasted better when I was a child . No. And the trees were taller. Yes. Yes. And in reality, we listened to comments on the radio. Therefore, please visit the city point with the loudspeaker. The second half is always all thousand. The second half there then. So, here we are in And he couldn't have said it any more cheerfully, to deceive you. All. No, yes. Theatrical pauses. So what? What? What? What? What? But let's hope everything is clear. And you also have a second love, football Barcelona. Which one is this? Listen, this is an interesting thing. I'll explain. I love Barcelona very much. Well, because what is love for a team that you don’t play in the city where you live? Well, yes . Yes. This is some kind of set of impressions. But, apparently, this is connected with the period when Koeman played and when Barcelona lost the final to Milan. Yes. I have loved Ancelotti ever since, but I want to say something funny. So, even though I really love, I like Barcelona's style of football and so on, but if I were to choose, uh, a team based on the city that I like, I would obviously support the Madrid team, because in the choice between Madrid and Barcelona, Madrid is one of my favorite cities. I love Madrid, but Barcelona is too Livadan for me. dirty, despite the fact that it has architectural merit and so on, Gaudí and all that. I prefer this imperial vibe that you can find in Madrid. These people, you know, you've probably been to Madri. Moreover, Madrid has a history that is very close to us, southern people. This is endless, for example, in some restaurant for locals you are sitting and suddenly at the end of the meal there starts a conversation like who is closing the bill there no, I don’t, this is the whole Madrid story, right? And given that Catalonia is closer to the French in its mentality, it is hardly possible to imagine such stories there. Here. And mentally, I'm closer to, uh, the city, like a city, uh, Madrid, but in childhood we choose with completely different concepts, criteria, yes, therefore, starting from the uniform, ending with our favorite football player there, how he plays, yes. Yes. Lebanon also simply supports Barcelona. Yes. For me it was, well, it’s a fairytale team, by the way, magical, of course. Well, for me in particular the test was when Liverpool and Barcelona played together. And here, for me, Liverpool is more, probably, outweighed by my inner fan love, but at one time I was part of the Moscow football community of Barcelona. I remember we even crossed paths in the Bar several times. Here. And so, yes, not Barcelona. That is, I can clearly say for myself that in the Spanish championship I support Barcelona. and that's it. My son is a fan of Madrid, and we have these father-son relationships, well, Masha, you don’t have to root for them, it’s just that such stars are playing there now. No, at the moment, the child is the most hyped marketing face of football in general . I just, you know, when you walk past a stadium, uh, in Madrid, there’s a queue at the store, you know, like in the mausoleums. Yes. Enormous. Well, just like in Paris in front of Louis Vuitton. The same thing, then they go and stand in line at the Real Madrid fan shop. Everything is clear, like with the moment when your son started getting into football there, and there wasn't anything like that in Barcelona yet. They were in a bit of a hole back then, when Xavi was the coach. It's interesting that he supports Madrid, but he now likes Yamali more than Mbappe. Here. Although it used to be Mbap, I gave him a T-shirt with MP's autograph for his 10th birthday. He has it hanging there, just like we have here, for 10 years. The boy has an autograph for 10 years and a 10-year subscription. You know, I'm talking like this. I bought him Mbappe for 10 years. This is a conversation between Saudi Arabian team owners. I just gave him an autograph when you were 10 years old. When I was 10, I would have dreamed of getting Kerry Henry's autograph. This was my favorite football player. And I was 20 in what year did he come? He came here before the World Championship, remember? And I, like a boy, stood in the arena with a scarf at 25 years old. I was waiting for him to come up to me and sign my scarf when I turned 25. And at 10, his favorite football player already signed his shirt. You now have an autograph, Terenny. Yes, he is very bad. It gets washed off because I didn’t think to take anything else on the scarf. On a scarf - it's terrible. Don't sign your signature on a scarf, it's very bad. No, well, scarves also come in different quality. And do you have any really significant autograph for yourself? I have an autograph, from which the collection will now need to be called. Michael Jord. No, I almost died just now. I have an autograph on a Kobe Bryant towel from, uh, the second or third game of what year? The final episode of 2000, in general, one of How how from where? Armenians. Damn, that's so cool. I'm actually really jealous right now, I'm sitting up straight. Just Armenian, don't you know? Is this the city like when we were in Los Angeles? Yes, I was just amazed. Well, it was as if we weren’t in America at that moment. Yes. Yes, there are a lot, a lot. Yes. No, I've been to Los Angeles matches three times . Here. But I was no longer in Kobe. No, it's like a funny story, like this, when Glendale had this pick in Los Angeles, the pick and the LA Kings, the hockey team, were playing well. These Armenians in Jersey Kings, it was some kind of surrealism. They are going to the stadium. Is there at least one Armenian hockey player? Was Zak hunting geese? Well, some of those exist. I just know, I think there was one Georgian goalie who played in the KHL. Oh no, there was also Atyl Barmakyan, there are also those, but they are not Russian. Well, yes, yes. Yes. It’s just that, in my opinion, some kind of hockey team has just appeared in Georgia. Yes. No, by the way, it’s just that the sport isn’t suitable for the mentality or because it’s a warm country. Well, it’s a warm country, of course, because what is hockey? This is a very expensive sport that requires quite serious infrastructure, well, of course, at the very least you need ice . There must be big ice and equipment. And that is why, strictly speaking, there is a lot of religious stuff in all of this. Yes. Well, that's why football is in the Caucasus , both in Armenia and in Georgia. Well, the boys don't need anything, just like in Brazil it's the same . Like, you already have a sun-bleached field , right? Yes. You run with a sword. And in hockey you need a whole bunch of different things from your skates, ending with all these shoulder protectors. Well, it's very expensive. In Yakutsk, when boys and parents were involved, they simply spent a lot of money. You passed by. Well, this is more of a religious story. Yes, yes. Yes, yes, yes. Bench. Who is the most legendary footballer in Armenia? Djorkaev. No, why Makhitaryan now? No. Well, I'm speaking in general, not now. Zhrkov has nothing to do with Oganesya Asholin, I think, oh yes, the man who played for the USSR national team and scored at the World Cup in Spain. Yes, it's really cool. Oh, we have Horik, probably the most legendary. Well, plus Ararat 73 in full force. There is a monument to the football team in Yerevan. I wasn't there, and we weren't there. I've been to Yerevan many times , but I've never been here. Well, there he just threw up vomit all over the stadium. This is probably not included in the tourist routes to visit. What stadium did we perform at? I just went there too. On the Republican you were on a small one, which also requires repair. Urartu. What stadium does Urartu play at? We performed there. And to Urartu, yes. Such a small and cozy stadium. For this in a residential area. Yes, yes . That's where we performed. No. Razdan is an old stadium from Soviet times, which is in a state of disrepair and cannot host football matches. And next to it there is a monument to all the players of Ararat in 1973, because within the framework of Armenia this was a historic event. In 1973, Ararat made a double. Yes. Won both the championship and the cup. A fantastic game with, as they say now, a comeback. In the final in Moscow, Kyiv defeated Dynamo. I wonder if there is something that has its own meaning, because there is no video of this. There is a monument to Dinamo Tbilisi. I think there should be a Champions League trophy, yes. Dynamo Tbilisi champions. Now you add 50 rubles there too. from the side. Well, the cup, well, the motive is winning the champions' cup. But that was at that time, yes, but for us, for the breasts, these are, of course, champions. Cup. They won too. We became the cup champions. Winner of the Champions Cup. In the meantime, he searches. Are you happy with the current development of the Armenian national team? Well, of course not. It's terrible there. That's rock bottom there, unfortunately, and it's sad. And if we take a closer look at, I don’t know, the second country, in which, well, the Russian national team is very close to you under Karpin, it’s clear that we have a situation that doesn’t play a role in discussing it. There is no longer any competitive environment there. It is a thing that exists in itself, unfortunately. And that's why it's so painfully sad. On the other hand, we can’t compare them with the top teams right here. I think it's sad that young guys like Batrakov are n't seen by a huge part of the global community at major tournaments, just as no one knew about the existence of a huge number of wonderful Georgian footballers, besides Kvichi, who also played locally, all of whom play abroad and are quite prominent representatives of any club where they play. Yes. But just look, there's this really cool project called the Georgian national team , we learned about it thanks to the European Championship. And it's very sad that the existence of footballers as farmhands should be known only to some experts, who, among other things, are geeks who, say, follow Manchester City, still follow the champions. No, everyone follows, of course, because where there is football, there are the interests of big clubs, yes, but to show it to the general public, as you remember, for example, what happened after the Russian team's performance at the European Championship, yes, like the Gusspeeding team, besides that, there was an event, it was some kind of phenomenal project that everyone liked. And, unfortunately, these young guys are now deprived of this opportunity to showcase themselves and show that, of course, in the same Lokomotiv, in every generation there appears some unique individual, some star, yes, a big one, who is also a local product. This is all very cool. What is the charm of the locomotive now, its gimmick and peculiarity, given all its water-specific features? That this is a team that is clearly structured like this, uh, this farm produce from the neighboring garden, right? This is a story that is very impressive and I like it. I'm glad that we've brought the conversation full circle, starting with Lokomotiv and, it seems to me, ending the football conversation again, to some extent. Do you think this is primarily Galaktionov’s merit or is it, well, a coincidence? And all this together, of course, exclude merit in what? Well, the kind of football he plays now, the kind of team he joined. After all, it is the coach who chooses. Here's a question to follow up on you. Will this continue? They will be able to throughout. Look, if the limit on foreign players gets worse now, Yeah. then this team will be taken apart, because the cost of a good football player with a Russian passport will increase several times. Yes. Of course, this is a closed, balanced ecosystem in which a project like Lokomotiv can exist , where young players from their own academies are gathered in one place, collected from, I don’t know, from, ah, free agents, some unwanted by someone, but at the same time, they are mostly all Russians, right? This project will cease to exist objectively, because guys with big wallets will come and start pulling money out of there to cover their holes related to the limit. Therefore, it seems to me that the problem is that in this very situation, in this position, the project called Lokomotiv does not have much time left to exist. And, unfortunately, it seems to me that in the current situation it is very difficult to hope for any big victory for Lokomotiv. Yes, because, well, no one thought that there would even be such a start . I didn't think so, honestly. He's always, listen, last year was the same , well, three wins, constant comments about, let's see what happens after the New Year. That's how Golocheno is, everything is like that, yes, young. Well, in fact, we need to remove , I don’t know, the connecting link from each line, I don’t know, remove Karpukas, remove Batrakov, remove Selyanov, Samoshnikov is already going to Spartak, and so on and so forth . And we will begin. This is not the case with any football team. Well, there are center-forming players in each line. We have them. It is clear that if they fall out, but I will remove Karpukasu. There is this young guy now, also last year Gadeev. Gadeev, yes, very good. Very good, there is no one to replace Rakov now. Yes, I think so. Well, it's hard to say, we'll see. Bench. You were given the widest chair. They gave us older ones the narrowest one. I don't think I would be surprised if these are the same size chairs. It’s just possible, by the way, it’s not just that I have M, guys, and you have 2 XL. No, well, Tasha, probably XL. Probably XL. By the way, there's a very good topic that exists in American football, in American sports in general, but to a greater extent in football and basketball, there are conditionally professional sports, yes, the same NFL. These are student ones, and there are student ones. And a huge number of people are more concerned about student teams, because they have an absolutely logically verified structure. You support the team of your university or the city where you come from, where students of this university play. It is clear that these are the paths, yes, collected and so on. At the same time, they are required to fulfill their educational obligations at least so that the NCW can monitor this. And it turns out that it’s more logical for you, because the same Pittsburgh Steelers, which I’ve been a fan of for a very long time , periodically there appears some, you know, this Homis, who is local, this becomes a peak in Jersey sales, because our city guy plays on our team . Yes. Yes, same thing here. Well, unfortunately, we don't have any student connection in this situation. But we definitely support a club from your city or from a city that supports you and the brand. And who represents him? It seems to me that in this system of rules it doesn’t matter. Yes. The point is that if you pump out a huge amount of funds, invest in foreigners, and so on, it’s doubly funny when you don’t win. Well, yes, yes, yes, doubly so. To put it mildly, it's funny. And then you move on to your centenary. No, well, it’s all the same. I was previously arguing that foreign players always create competition. It's just that before, the foreign players were a little stronger, a little more noticeable, now they're a little more second-rate, but still, when they arrive, a Russian footballer has to beat them in the competition and should fairly make the team. Well, I wouldn’t be against it if Lokomotiv had great foreign players playing now. Well, all of our guys would have sat on the bank, because they wouldn’t have been able to pull it. If you pull, you play. Well, everything in sports should be fair. The main thing is that it’s not for money, like now Spartak bought someone for 24 million, and he would simply be dead. Well, it gives the impression of some kind of washing machine. Yes, yes. Yes. Well, why waste that kind of money? There is something strange about this . Samokhu was also bought up. Why samokh? OK. So, is it soccer or real American football? Well, we are being ironic about both. This is football, right? There is a whole theory there. I watch mostly American football these days, and I have an explanation for that. There is a lot of European football now. I think it's in pursuit of money. Yeah. Football is oversaturated and oversaturates the market. There's so much of it that sometimes you get confused about which tournament you're watching. All of this has turned into one continuous year-round canvas, where the meaning is lost. But in American football, in the NFL, everything is clear. There are 17 weeks. Yes. Half the house is playing. We started half of it in September and finished it on the first Sunday in February. There is so much hype, so little to enjoy, so little of all this, that Yes. And what’s more , everything is recorded. And on Sunday, three slots play football. There are three time slots. One match is postponed to Monday, one match is postponed to Thursday. All. Ah, well, there are also some kind of festive matches, when they make a separate one, like this special one. Well, that's enough. Sorry for the amateur question. How many games does an NFL team play in a season? Well, I'm telling you, there are 17 weeks left to get into this Super Bowl. in the playoffs, yeah, well, in short, yeah, the superball is the final. Well, not much happens. 17 weeks, that's the regular season - that's 17 weeks. Well, I just meant, you said 17 weeks, but maybe they play according to No, 17 play 17 weeks of regular season. That means each team plays for 17 weeks. This also has an objectively odd number with the presence of victories and defeats, but this is secondary. But in any case it's 17 weeks. This classic scheme, it would always remain unchanged and from time to time, I don’t know, there is no, well, there is a limited quantity. They must finish on the first Sunday of February . It's always been like this, right? First Sunday of February, Super Bowl. And they have Thanksgiving, yes, they play two games, two games played during the day, and on Christmas they play there during the day, but at the same time the regular season has 17 games. And how did you come to this conclusion? Someone here advised you to watch American football. You went to the state in a very funny way. It's just that my friend had a house next to the US embassy. And there was a dish, there was a dish, he was picking up this, and there was this US Armed Forces TV channel , which is specially assembled for foreign contingents around the world. And besides all this other junk, there are also NBA matches, football matches, hockey matches, college matches, everything is in this package. And we started watching, I slowly watched this, uh, watched, figured out the rules, yes, touchdowns, then, yes, yards and that's it. And it’s logical; if you watch for a long time, you understand what’s happening. Well, you probably already know the combinations and how they work. I understand the essence and some basic rules, but not these combinations when they are one after another. This is the most interesting thing. You don't need to know that. And as for me, well, like, as I was told, this is one of the most interesting things when you understand the tactics. This is the next one. But in a basic start-up enterprise, you just need to grasp the basic principles that are at play there. In each team there are conditionally 2 teams. Yes. Defensive attacking. Attackers. There are also special teams that are designed for a specific takeaway , well, basically two teams: attack and defense. Yes. The attacking team plays against the defending team, then they switch. You have to cover a certain number of yards in four attempts. This number of yards can change due to violations, you can get extra yards. And most importantly, you must complete these four attempts within a short period of time. Tell me, were you 100% there at the matches? Repeatedly. Moreover, back then, when TV+ was showing four superballs, he was one of the commentators. How cool. And in real life it's really cool. Look, it's cool to see it in real life, but what's the competitive advantage of American football and why is it tearing up the market? There the NFL and everyone else is a big failure. He's super-television. Its heyday is associated with the development of television technologies. This is the most televised sport because of the pauses, the spectacle, and the clarity of its origin. This is what they are talking about now in relation to the problem of hockey in the National Hockey League. Due to the high intensity and speed. This is the notorious joke about not being able to see the puck. became a reality. It moves back and forth so quickly that hockey has become, without a doubt, the best offline event because going to live hockey is magical. Agree. All the people who see hockey on TV and then come say: "Wow, you can't compare." That's exactly what happened with us just now. Yes, we live with hockey. This, for me, is simply the best that could be. television too, but unfortunately it has a very high entry level. It takes a long time to prepare a person so that he understands the systematic nature of the processes that are taking place. And football itself, firstly, has pauses. Yeah. and a clear explanation of the predictability of processes, it becomes logical and understandable in terms of its development. So, let's say, if we imagine that our viewer has no idea about American football, where should he start? Well, he wants to start either with which match or with something specific. We just need to probably score, score some of the greatest matches, I don’t know, with some miracles, to watch a conditionally bright final, for example, New England vs. Atlanta, when there was a super comeback. Every sport has its own great, yes, if you're talking about Jordan, then in American football there's Tom Brady, who probably everyone knows. Here's an example of a final that would start with watching the New England-Atlanta match, which was relatively recent, to see how a team comes back from a completely hopeless state. And what is the story in this? Even though I always rooted against Braddy, because he was our guy, he played for the New Eagle Patriots, what I know is, yes, Newd played for New-In, and then he left and they said, “We’ll figure it out without you .” He won again the following year for Tampa. They, well, not they, won against everyone. It would be great if those who rejected him also had them. But with him, but with him, there was the second one playing for Tampa. Last name, he is also big, well, big white. Grankovsky, you were with him and in the patriots in Tampa . Yes, Grong, yes, the most reckless su on Spars there was an article about him, that he is the shadowy shadow hero there in general, yes, everything is clear with the roles there. Quarterbacks, people, when in defense there is also a need for smart footballers who must break all this and interrupt this whole story. I've seen a lot of these short videos and so on, where American football players have an incredibly high vertical jump. This is actually true. Look, what's special about it is, uh, the average level, for example, of running backs, this is probably in terms of running condition, this is probably any national Olympic team, uh, well, not counting the elite ones, yes, but they are at the conditional level of the US national team in this Tracknfield. These football players are comparable to the best runners. Yes. In which, again, we return to the story of narrowness. This is one league in the world. Yes. Where there are a small number of teams and, consequently, crazy competition for a place in the team. Const. And so, yes, there are people there who run at the level of, I don’t know, Olympic standards. Yes. People who jump higher than basketball players and other positions, people who are, in fact, perfect. Therefore, the little league is the only one in the world that brings together the best in the world. Of course, there would be, well, imagine if there was one league in European football. Yes. Well, yes, yes. I don’t know where I would play, there are 24 football teams all over the world. Can you imagine the level of football players that would be there? Well, you have to give them credit. After all, the NFL is a very closed, competitive league and not many people from all over the world come to it. I'm speaking conditionally, but in American terms I'm speaking conditionally about people from all over the world, it's not the NBA. Well, the one there, but you see the NBA also has a very interesting story there. From a sporting point of view, he's been sagging there. This is not the basketball that was. But from a media perspective, they simply understand that you can compensate for the decline in interest in sports in the league by making additional media products out of it or getting something out of it, because in doing so you get a super-competitive league. No, well, it’s just that if we talk about the NBA, the NBA is still trying, yes, to go beyond the United States. China, France, Abu Dhabi and so on and so forth . And the NFL doesn’t seem to need it. No, they play in world matches, they play in Europe, because they understand that there is, for example, Germany, where any kind of team sport is super popular. American football has a huge fan base in Germany and the UK, and there are always events going on there to retain and monetize this audience . And in the NBA there is another component, that the last MVPs, how many Americans are gone already? And they, well, the last one was just now, well, according to Lahoma. Oh, right, he's American. He is Canadian. Ah, yes, exactly, that's also true. Let's go back to the beginning of our podcast. Yes, yes, yes. No, he is, yes, he is Canadian. He is Canadian, yes. Oh, yes. I wanted to ask, I just want to know why I know anything about American football at all . Uh, because there are a ton of documentary series, there are cool, very artistic films specifically about American football, because even about basketball there aren’t as many as about American football. Are there any favorites, maybe you could name them, uh, that you like? Yes. Who? What about movies about American football? Yes. Listen, I advise you to watch it. There are some really cool ones, first of all, there is a whole company called NFL Films. What else is so wonderful? Previously , match highlights were shown in cinemas. Wow. And that's why the highlights were shot on film. Well, that's so cool. There are no movie theaters anymore, but the tradition of filming highlights in the NFL remains, so they do it. It's clear that the code will end soon, unfortunately, but they continue to make films around the games. This makes especially many products. If you're looking, I'd suggest watching the vast number of documentaries or reality shows that are made around the NFL. There is a project called Heartx. What's the idea? Where did it all start? And there is a very long preseason in American football, because it is clear that you need to learn all the combinations and so on and so forth . At the beginning of the preseason, they filmed the entire thing as a reality show about the worst team of the previous season. Cool. And in this, it’s like something out of the F1 series, right? F1 didn't exist back then. Ah, even so. This is a purely HBO reality format, when cameras live with the team throughout the pre-season tournament, and films are made because of this. Now it's not just the weakest teams there, they're filming almost everyone there. I recommend watching it. This is a very cool product. Cool, which is called. I haven’t encountered it, because I watched it, I watched F1, but I haven’t encountered it. Listen, I was surprised that there was a similar series about golf, as far as I'm concerned, like Formula 1. And I was honestly a little surprised when Adam Sandler's new film, "2," came out. They pulled in almost everyone from the top 10, " Eti Pitural." And in the film, there are real golf superstars playing there, in addition to Eminem and so on and so forth . They play everything he has there. These guys are golf players, top ones at that. Yeah, if you're not interested in golf, he won't tell you, you know. And what kind of straight-up play is this for these guys, that they watch a bad comedy, but where they play there for golfers, and all the people playing there are people you know very well. What do you mean on tour? Yes. Very cool. Bench. Why Pittsburgh? Because it's, well, not a central city. It's far from being a central city. Listen, it just happened that way, it probably started with the penguins, because the first hockey team I ever saw in Los Angeles was the Pittsburgh Penguins, Mario Remre played there , Jagr played there, and so on. And somehow after that, when football started, interest, choice, just the Pittsburgh Steelers, coming back, a super-sized team, there are a lot of things there. creating. For example, yes, starting with the fact that this is the only team in the league that has a logo on only one side of the helmet. Why did this happen? There the artist would have said that it was not there that year that they slapped, there was no second one. They played well and preserved this tradition that the logo is an adapted logo of American steel in general. This is how to install a clamp on steel. It was a city from the steel capital. The Steleers are one of only a few other teams in the league that don't have cheerleaders. There are no cheerleaders steers, like it's a cold city, what else can they do to freeze people? There is no style. Plus six cups, only two teams in the league have six super-large victories. Plus the story with this was a super-powerful defensive team. Plus, in the entire history of the Steelers super-big super-big history there have only been three coaches. Wow . In how many years? So, for more than 50-70 years in this entire history, there have been only three coaches. How did they leave in the future? Or they come and say: “That’s it, I’m tired.” And no one is ever fired. That is, it is a family-owned team that is super conservative, but at the same time has its own perception. Plus the stadium, which at that time had a name, they have now changed it, it was Hines, because our favorite Hines ketchup is from Pittsburgh. And if you look at the bottle, there's a sign there, it's this shape, this is the only shape of road signs used in Pennsylvania. Mm, cool. Well , that's all. This creates a kind of crazy volume, around which everything begins to attract. You know, there are a huge number of such hooks on which interest is drawn. Who is Pittsburgh's main rival in the league? Ah, Baltimore. Yes. Cleveland and Centenati. And what is the second word for Cincenati? Bangla. Tash is just telling me now, I find it very interesting. It's really very interesting to listen to. I want, I want to start watching this. At one time I started getting sick, I apologize now, I don’t remember. I even followed him. I loved it so much . I followed him on the banned Instagram network The Zaks running Back. But he was relatively new. Well, he might be on his fourth season now. No, there is n't. No, not this Falcons Falconfal Atlanta. Yes, yes . Here. What is it called in Sitla? Seхолw. Seхолw. Here. Well, they have this there from Iran. Very huge. Why am I talking about the vertical jump? Because he posts videos of himself jumping all the time. Here. And I just, well, like, through one person, I kind of started to immerse myself in this story. And I started to like it very much . No, this is very interesting. That means you have to dig a little deeper than the Super Bowl. And the aura around this Super Bowl, yes. with concerts and so on, and you will be absorbed. Well, how do the services work, how do they cling to news, how did they create a whole, I don’t know, you know, hype around this, thanks to Taylor Swift . Yes, yes. What? Yes, yes. About, well, there is simply no performance. What's not? Taylor Swift is dating a Kansas City Chiefs football player, yes. And they made it, do you understand that they made it the most popular singer in the world? Yes. And how they started using this topic. And he is also one of the most popular players. He plays for Kansas, one of the best teams in the world league. Well, Americans like to say that there is peace anyway. Well, well, yes, but at the same time they placed it so carefully in this stereotypical theme regarding the fact that the football players, the cheerleaders, these endless TV series around them, they made a straight-up crazy story out of it. Was she there? No, we haven't found out. There were there ... I'm now this And Patrick Mahomes will become a legend. He wants to kazan. He did it in one fell swoop. He already legenecto it. But you don't know. And I know. The last TV series I watched was a fictional one about American football, where a black guy from the ghetto makes it to the NFL. I forgot his name. By the way, it's a very good series. In any case, the first two seasons were Bolers. Ah, very cool. Rock, yes, I looked. Very cool. There are also a lot of cameos, a lot of football players play there. Well, they didn’t tell me anything about this , but just the essence of the series and the plot. There's a great movie with Brad Pitt and a man who changed everything. This is about the American one. This is moneyball. No, this is about baseball. Oh, it's about baseball. Exactly. There's this ingrained ascomin that every time they talk about American football, they talk about Gvon Sunday. Yes. Every Sunday with Alpachin. Yeah, that's really cool, yeah. It's there too. No, I'm confused. More precisely, this is the film In the shower scene, where he is there with his player. No, it’s just Alpachina giving one speech there. This is this movie. Yes, yes . In the locker room. Famous as a piece of motivational speech. Okay, okay, I got it. Yes, I have. Maguy. No, I didn't watch it. Maguvair, yes. Volume. Listen, remember. No, it doesn't say anything. An old film, probably a cat. Well, yes, there is Apollo, this Goody Junior, playing there, yes, he won an Oscar, when he is an agent, Tom throws him out. That's it , I remembered, yes. He leads one football player from a large company . Show me the money. This is from there. Show me the money. This is a famous quote. It seems to me that we are smoothly moving from American football to the National Hockey League to the NHL. NC, you mentioned Pittsburgh. You're probably familiar with Malkin from Pittsburgh and many of our other hockey stars. I have, probably, the most important question from a person who visited both the KHL and the NHL in his time. Why? Well, I understand why there, why our hockey gathers full stadiums, but all other sports, well, they are in decline. You come to a football match, half the stadium is gone, you come to a basketball match now, this is the last one between the Russian national team and Iran. 200 people are sitting in the stadium. 200, literally 10. So you don’t understand that Listen, there are two components here. The first component, I think, is a very cool job by the league. Yes. KHL is meant. And secondly, listen, well, this is deep, like this cold, this bond, this whole story. Well, yes, it is understandable. Moreover, there are really good hockey players playing there. Well, it's clear that it's the NHL's premier league and everyone is trying to get in there, but the level here is very decent. The second league in the world. I'll tell you honestly, sometimes I enjoy watching KHL matches more because they're more, well, no less athletic, more combined, and there's a lot of ideology involved. Yes. Plus, guys, I recommend you, the spectators, probably go, considering that the tournament is called the Fonbet Continental Hockey League Championship, go and see what's going on. This is absolutely fantastic. No, it's 100%. And in general, the level and everything that the league does is a matter of work, it seems to me. We were just present at one of the matches of the Ruslavsky Lokomotiv and spoke with the press-attachment. I had one of the main questions, because I periodically watch it on TV and so on. I asked him: "Why are the last names in English?" Our international league. He is, well, so much China, Belarus, Kazakhstan. Well, there were other teams, but I hope that I hope for a second. Well, I still hope that it will all come back and everything, yes, well, it will appear and everything will be fine. That's why a huge number of countries watch the Kontinental Hockey League. Don't forget that in terms of quality this is also the second league in the world in terms of level. Well, one of the main reasons, they also mention Tash, it seems to me, in my opinion, is that the level of players did not drop when we had some kind of current here, but not critical. This is what remained. Listen, there are so many high-quality foreign coaches playing, foreigners working, and the foreign players are also one big deal. It's hard to imagine that they would bring in who knows who just so that , well, that's not quite true. It is indeed very unlikely that there is a player from Africa here; there are significantly fewer precedents. Or maybe some really big clubs will come to the tournament, prominent foreign hockey players on each team. Yes, that's why, listen, yes, and hockey players, honestly, they are some kind of, well, they are what they are , well, by the way, I can confidently say with whom it is most difficult to drink, it is more difficult to drink with hockey players. I can not drink at all. All athletes do not drink. They're all like, listen, they're all cool. Agree. Here are the simple ones. Well, some of them are normal. Normal guys. Still, one coach also beats the other. If you look at the coaches in the Continental Hockey League, look at how cool these guys are. Yes, it's clear that they're [ __ ] normal guys, or even super-handsome, like, for example, Kozlov from Ufa. Who do you get sick with due to the nature of your work? Who are you supporting for Russia's paradise or are you maintaining neutrality? Do you keep to the letter? My locomotive plays in the city of Moscow. It is difficult for me to define this. Of course, Yaroslavl Lokomotiv has a huge, complex history, which is impossible not to sympathize with. And this story ended with a tremendous success, which kind of adds some, well, understandable, conscious brightness to it all. But I'm neutral in the KHL , I don't have a team, and as for Lokomotiv, I support the Moscow football team. I've always just envied all the other communities because they're all in the same city and it's easy for them to go to CSKA, football, basketball, and hockey. But for us, to go to Krasnodar for a basketball game, to go to Yaroslavl for a hockey game, or to a volleyball game in a third city, it’s really difficult. And regarding this path of Yaroslavl, when they became champions, a lot of videos started circulating in Ryuzy that simply gave me goosebumps. And when the girl was filming there, the boy was filming it. Why are you happy? You support a different hockey club there. And then there was an inscription, because they won for themselves and for those guys, and then a cut of those guys, the seam, who were gone . The story is truly very cinematic, worthy, I think, of a very cool feature film. Are you watching? No, no, I'm not going to. You don't like it? I'm not interested. Yes. In general, well, you kind of don't like hockey, sort of. Well, like, in your top five sports, hockey is in there. No, yes, even lower. Even lower. He's in my top six, probably top six. Do you have biathlon included there or what? No, well, I like football, basketball, I like handball. What do you like? I love Nball very much. I like Handball. You are Norwegian. Maybe. I have known this man for so long . I have been watching Yatsom all my life. Didn't you know about handball? Handball is cool. By the way, we live too, watch. Have you tried playing? It's also fun to play in the NBL. OK. Phew, how quickly I convinced him. Well, it's probably not hockey that's at the top. We just rarely go. I remember that when we were still KVN teams on tour in the mid-nineties, a Rostov team came to one hotel , I was there, Lena Mozgovaya, but the kind that can give you a scoreboard right now on the spot are like handball players. Yes, that's it, yes. He's not healthy with you. At our concert in Rostov there were people from the Da team. Gunball players, ganball players. And we must give them credit. A big hello if you're watching. They came out to every game to my song all season long. Do you have any sports repertoire at all? Thank you. The athlete is loved. Trying. Yes. Yes. We recently had a joke that I am respected more in the sports community than in the music community. Here. Well, not the best, not the best, not the best, that party. And excellent is a plus. You're in the black. Yes, it's better to be in a sports crowd. I was once on the Los Angeles Kings when Ilia Kovalchuk played there. So he invited me, and I was just passing through. You've probably been to the National Hockey League quite often. And what is the most memorable moment, maybe, because for me, I can still transfer this to basketball, because I sat behind the Los Angeles Lakers bench at the NBA once and once sat somewhere high up with black women around. And it was great because I liked it even more because it was a real atmosphere. The most memorable is the horror. And, uh, there were just tears. I was there live at the Canada-Russia match at the Olympics in Vancouver. Yes. It was very sad. Uh, the weirdest match. We came to Dallas for the Super Bowl. And on these dates Dala Star played, yes, on these dates, yes. Ah, there was some kind of storm for the first time in 200 years. All the roads were covered with snow. And in Texas, not everyone knows how to drive on snowy roads. Everything is there, everything is here. And we arrived, and the match wasn't cancelled and the arena was empty, no one arrived and Dallas played in an empty stadium. It was such a strange match to imagine. In general, in America it’s probably rare, yes, in the HL, for there to be, well, empty stands. It should be something about those who have these empty projects closed or moved, like New Jersey in basketball. Well, no, they moved the hockey team to Utah because the coyotes were having a hard time, they were huddled in the student arena and so on. That is, there was no development of this . Well, any sports franchise is a market-based thing. You must understand that you must receive some money from the market. That's why it was interesting that there were so many memes and jokes around last year's National Basketball League finals, because the two teams playing were from the smallest markets. That is, in fact, no one is interested in this ending. Well, in general, yes, but the numbers were so-so . NC Tash is a person who used to, as far as I know, you'll probably tell us about this now , and ran, and rode, and swam, in general, I, as a person who loves bicycles and beeps. Bees, yes. Here are bibs - these are shorts, I need to explain, and with diapers. I'm not telling this joke. No, that's it, no, that's it. I was scolded, my father scolded me at the beginning of the podcast. Well, you, well, you somehow came to this conclusion, or, you know, there is an established opinion that, well, a midlife crisis pushes a man to run, drive, leave the house and spend time alone with himself. It's like with a frog, if you try to throw it into boiling water, it will jump out. But if you slowly understand the temperature of the frog in cold water, it won't notice how it's boiled. Well, actually, it's the same thing here. There was a moment when my health was already bad, I smoked and so on. There they said that I had to quit and somehow I had to do something. And you opaopa opaopa. Here. And one wonderful moment you lose the kart, open your eyes, and find yourself at the start of some triathlon competition. But at the same time, I want to point out that I can hardly imagine more pleasure than from a bicycle . It's very close to flying myself, I guess . Yes, I compare this very often. Well, this is some kind of flight, especially when you’re not going uphill, but downhill. Here. Yes. Yes. I like to ride uphill. I like it. Are you torturing yourself? Yes. Yes, I like it. But at the same time, I ride 6 days a week, almost every day. There for an hour, if the weather is bad, then I ride on the machine, if it allows. I think it would be very difficult without it . I like. Well, you gradually came to this conclusion. Of course, all this is necessary. Moreover, now with the injury I can no longer run at the same volumes as before. Marathons. Well, well, well, they write to me all the time, yes, something like : "So, you know, soon you'll come to the First Iron Man, soon you'll come to our triathlon. Soon you'll start, start, start. I keep refusing, refusing, refusing. Well, now the action is appearing around me again." Look, the problem with the triathlon is that it's a huge investment of time. Well, yes, yes, yes. This needs to be dedicated to swimming and running as well. If you now, when you ride a bike, know how much time you spend on it, then imagine that you need to spend x3 more time on it. And one day you're doing triathlon and something else. Well, you can't call these people slackers. Well, how is it ? Well, it’s like you have to devote 6-7 hours a day to this. Well, that means you have to swim for an hour, 3 hours, ride a bike and 2 hours with perfect timing. You must be absolutely in everything. I've always been interested. This is not a joke now, but why not, for example, on a flight on this, what is it called, right? Why is it called Iron Man but there is no air? There is running and cycling there. And this is the iron man. Well, let's test ourselves in flight and land in the water. Well, that's so cool. Well, it seems to me that this would add that a person can simply run, a person can run, a person can spin, but how should he fly? Yes, where did this come from? It’s a legend, but it’s not really a legend, but it’s true that a cyclist, a swimmer, and a runner argued about which of them was faster. Mm, but I'll let you in on a little secret: a runner or swimmer has no chance against a cyclist . Well, yeah, because most of, uh, any competition you do on a bike. This is the fastest one. It's like the old triathlon joke: "A crocodile runs faster than a man and swims faster than a man, so a man's only hope is on a bicycle." Well, don't you just want to do something? No, I don't like running. First of all, I don’t like running. Secondly, when I run on asphalt, my legs immediately start to hurt really badly. No matter what sneakers I wear or try, they immediately start to hurt. Either my iliac region starts to hurt right away, or my knees start to crunch, and so on. Therefore, no. And for me, cycling is absolutely not a non-traumatic sport. I enjoy it. I enjoy driving both more than 100 km and less. You, you had some kind of longest distance, well, like, I don’t know, I can remember with horror the 172 km that were before me. But there was no desire to go, I don’t know, Moscow-St. Petersburg or something like that. It’s just for this time, but this is outside of this, I’m not for me, this is not some kind of fantasy, because if your body is ready for a certain set of And what’s the beauty of a bicycle in itself is that, unlike running, there is no zone of no return. That is, if you accumulate fatigue and hunger while running, you increase your heart rate, and your heart rate goes into the zone. Yes. Yes. You can be there for a very short period of time, after which the body, with the help of lactic acid, forces you to stop. You're just oxidizing. Yes. On a bicycle you can ride forever. You always ride at low pulse rates. You're driving for a long time. If you are trained and if you eat, I mean forever, then distance is not an argument for you , unlike running. Yes. Run, sooner or later you will oxidize. By the way, dear friends, you can find a great video on YouTube that I discovered by accident, where, I do n’t remember the name of the second person, they are figuring out who is faster, the person with hairy legs or the person with the truth. We went to the Specialized office, and, with Lesha, this channel Running is harmful, if anyone doesn’t know. Who knows, subscribe, these guys make crazy content. Cool. Uh, we've arrived at Special. This is one of the largest bicycle manufacturers in Northern California where their office is located. And they have, it seems to me, one of the only cycling companies that has a wind tunnel to determine, well, F1 aerodynamics, imagine, it hurts, everything, here is the bike, and you are sitting in it, right? And there, empirically speaking, there is a rather significant difference. with and without hair. There was practically no difference, judging by the video. No, we watched the video again. Well, there, that is, there are tenths. No, what are you saying? Over a long distance, this makes a very significant difference. I still don't shave my legs yet. Are you still in doubt, to shave or not to shave? But I was close this season. Does this happen to everyone sooner or later? Well, no one can explain. Nobody can. Well, that is, they explain the massage, communicate the aerodynamic difference. It's clear that for amateurs this doesn't matter, but there is an explanation there, it's purely a safety issue, that if you fall and get injured, you heal faster. Well, besides this, access to your wounds is much easier in this situation. Yes. Plus, yes, it is a legitimate leg opportunity. You know, it's legitimate, but like all blitz nights. Have you ever thrown something at the TV when your favorite team was losing? Certainly. Were you sitting in the opponents' sector? Yes. Where? Well, it happened that way, during a match with my team. No. I was just there, I was at the Liverpool PSG match and was sitting in the stands with the PSG players. It was a nightmare. Mixed up, ah, well, basically, yes, but the whole stadium. I was in Denver for Wildcard Steers. I just have a tragedy. Sorry to barge in . Here I have PSG fans sitting, well, here they are sitting around. PSG won 2:0 in Liverpool. We are playing in France. I was given tickets and some Parisian just grabbed me at 2:0 . Like this. Yes, yes, we won. Nightmare. It was disgusting. Yes, I was at Arsenal's Bayern, sitting in the German sector. Yes. Sang in a sports bar in support of the team. Undoubtedly. Did you argue with your friends about football? Did you fight with fans? Didn't go to football with your girlfriend? I really like the answers. Answers. And what? Eh, he insulted the judge along with everyone else in the stands. Of course, you left the stadium after the first half? No, did you ever give up an important event to watch a match? Bench. It was a bench. We had Tash as a guest, a wonderful person, a fan of football, American football, hockey and cycling. And, of course, don't forget to subscribe to us and comment on everything he said. And he said a lot of very cool things. Well, we say goodbye to you. Thank you very much, Etazh. See you at the hockey game. Bench
