Probably a "flickable" post...but...just can't help it. Who thinks someone we all know and love is perhaps...envious...of this cross-town rival getting air time while he's busy counting bucks from a certain recent sell?

"Enjoy the countless ‘ums’ and ‘ughs’ throughout the show!"

That right there turns me off to even thinking about listening.
As bad as "you know?".
So many people don't hear themselves speak.

One of my peeves is people who start a sentence with "I mean......" or sometimes mid sentence. Duh, of course you "mean", why else would you speak? This seems new, like in the last few years. Unfortunately I've caught my self saying this. It must come from hearing so many people say this. Shug, oh well.

you know what I mean?

Phrase used by the inarticulate and dimwitted as a comma and to buy time and cover their lack of knowledge of a subject on which they have decided to speak and the resulting insecurity this engenders.

It is particularly irritating in sportspeople, presenters and commentators as they are paid way in excess of the average salary of their audience precisley to tell them what it is they mean. The unspoken assumption is that the audience are already well aware of the 'gem of wisdom' or 'fact' (or see cliche) imparted by the 'expert' and that there really is no need to pay him or her £5000 an episode to provide such insightless insights.

There’s a boat name.

sounds like you have never listened to craig or annie do a livestream ;)
I'm trying to listen to them now but it is just blather and a postponement. I'll have to leave soon anyway, Phew.

Block, I do not think she knows the back story of the Scot/Craig.

On another note, watch the 18 footers Australian Champs in Sydney. It's on Youtube.
