I know, just an incredible thing to say. My favourite too. The audio of this is even better.

It is what it is, always a classic placeholder in any sports person interview

Poll needed to clarify he said “it is what it is” twice in this 2min interview

Sorry I hadn’t heard the audio when I posted this, I was still laughing at the text! I think repetition just adds to the sentiment tbh

Duggie is one of the most unintentionally hilarious ball players, any interview he has done could be polled in this format

2minutes in, Duggie presents his SpongeBob pillow to the world, stating:

1. Guys, we still have it
2. It’s come apart a little bit at the tooth
3. But it’s perfect dude when i sleep, like the other peoples they’ll get me good and then this one will just do the final little prompt
4. Keep me right, keep that neck feeling good
5. This is the only thing that can hold me down, that’s it, this holds me down
6. This is my day one

“Mother give me a hug I’m outta here i love you……punk”
“That’s how we talk to our mothers”

Hahaha those are some great clips. I lost track of Duggie after Boston, glad he’s still the same

The audio of this is even better.
