QUOTES

"And it was a case of we we we genuinely believed in it, but we just couldn't give it the time, I don't think either. And it was just marrying things. And, of course, then we decided after the first one that we wanted to get guests in. We sort of thought we'll have so much just us talking about a topic again, but we'll try and get some guests in. And it just trying to arrange any of it? It just became impossible, didn't it?"

— Greg Rutherford

"Surprising Friendship: I always thought you just found me annoying, basically, like an annoying little brother in a way."

— Greg Rutherford
