hæ.Hæ, hæ, hæ, hæ.Hæ, hæ, hæ, hæ.Hæ, hæ, hæ, hæ.Hæ, hæ, hæ, hæ.I feel like beginning of August, maybe like, yeah, yeah, my team, I finally got my, I got my final player, we're ready.And then they kind of show up, or maybe you just meant that they had a, that they assigned all their players.Maybe they hadn't all showed up yet, but it kind of looked to me in the first, in the first two games, like in the first game, they, they were bad.And they, and Stjernan effect fired their, for their American player, uh, immediately after that and played without one in the second game.Um, and that game, in that game, that, uh, the Lithuanian guy, uh, Urkis, I think his name is, uh, he had a bad game and they lost to Hötur.Hötur had a pretty decent, had a pretty good game.And I really, and I'm really, I love when the, when the underdogs, you know, can steal a game.I get that.But when you fire a player after one game, then that implies that you've gone all through pre-season with the same guy, got your team ready to then, yeah, something's not going.So, I'll put you on the spot.So, again, people ask me in the summer, David, do you think, when Baltó went to Alftaness, was Emil the marquee sign-in of a coach that would have attracted players to Stjernan?I think Emil is a good coach.I'm just asking you, is he a marquee coach sign-in that would attract players to play for Stjernan?No, no.I don't, I don't think so either.And I think, unfortunately, I'm, I'm not sure, of course.I is still, you know, with his arm and everything.But I just, the, the thing that came out from what people said through the summer is, it doesn't, it's not that coach that people would go, I want to play for him.Do you get what I mean?Again, I, you know, you know the guy better than me.But I just, it wasn't that, for Stjernan, who's like, do you get what, do you see?Yeah, I got you.I got you.I was scrolling down.I missed a big.I missed a big, big news report, which really makes me look silly.There's another player that we, that we need to congratulate.She's having a baby.It's Þóra Kristýninn Haukar.So that's why she hasn't been playing.So Haukar.Hauki.Yeah, yeah, yeah.You're missing all these pregnancies, you know.Yeah, yeah, yeah.You can never ask if someone's pregnant, you know.But actually, the young lady who, Keplavik, who had a baby, I think last season, last year, I saw her back on the court.Who's that?Is that Katla?Is that Prijett?Is that?I'm crap with names.Yes, you are.You are very crap with names.Anyway.But, okay.So, looking at the men's league.Yes, Altenest, again, they're doing good things.I love the fact that they seem to have invested in sort of pre-games, what they're doing, and just trying to make the whole experience sort of better, I think, for their fans and everything.That seems to be good.Yeah.You know, Tinder's not sort of.I think the group of five isn't too surprising.Okay.But I think the bottom four or five, that's, you know, it's, like we said, it's only two games.But if you cut the league in half, there's a sort of not too surprising and then a surprising sort of bottom.But it's kind of like putting you on the spot.You know, some of them, okay.Like we've said.Arman, Sindri, Hotta got their first win.But it's, and those wins count, you know.Oh, yeah, they will.When Stjartan get stronger and better, that's going to be, that's going to be a loss, a win that is not possible anymore for lower, you know, lower teams, if you go to me.So, I mean, Stjartan, Stjartan have, I mean, Stjartan may bounce back.I mean, Æjir is, Æjir had a bad first game and according to him, yes, he's wearing a sleeve after breaking his elbow in the final.In the playoffs last year, but, I mean, last, last spring.But he's back and he doesn't look, he doesn't look to be affected by it.I don't think Stjartan is a bad team.They need, but they do need.And me saying with his arm, because mentally that's going to play, you know, first time you fall on the floor, first time.Yeah, I don't know, but I don't see him.Like in interviews and like watching him on the court, he doesn't look like he's timid.But Stjartan have found a new player, Noel Eastern, Noel Eastern, who.Apparently played for a G League team, which, you know, take it or leave it, that's not, I mean, that's not a, that's not bad, but it's not amazing either.I mean, I'm sure he's a good player and we'll, maybe Stjartan can turn this all, turn this whole thing around.I'm more worried about, honestly, I'm honestly more worried about Grindavík right now.Because they, we projected them in the top position on the men's side.We have Grindavík going from the first position down into the ninth position.And, I mean, yes, it's only been.Well, ninth or eighth, whichever one you would call it.Yeah, but I mean, well, nine, well, actually, eighth to twelfth, to be fair.You enjoyed.But, I mean.Yes, they basically need to get their act together and get the injured players, hopefully, back ASAP.Kane to be kind of making a bigger impact, otherwise they're going to be struggling.Yeah, I mean, yes, I mean, they finally have Kane back and Kane had a good first game, but like, you know, this cup game that we were talking about,I guess, but like, that'll probably be a kick in the, a kick in the behind.Wait a second, does anyone actually know why he was late?They, they said that he couldn't be found for a few days or didn't answer for three or four days.Didn't we discuss this on the podcast last, last time that he was arrested at the airport in the US when he came back, when he flew back home after the championship?Yeah, we discussed that, but that doesn't, like, why was he not here this time?And they couldn't get home.I don't know, maybe, maybe some, maybe something that, maybe he had to, maybe something he had to finish up or tie, or tie.Ah, I get it.Okay.Or tie some knots, or, I have no idea, man.Okay, totally.Yeah, you have no clue.But, um, no, no idea.Um, I mean, besides that, I mean, they're, Keppleik is, well, for one, Keppleik, we, we projected them in seventh position, they're in, they're in two, and obviously, again, they only, they've only won two games.Let's not get ahead of ourselves.One of them was, was against Sintri, and one of them was against Orman.Oh.I mean, those are two teams that you expect them sort of to win, but they don't look bad.Keppleik, I mean, I think Keppleik has a pretty decent team.They're, I think they're a little.A little undisciplined, uh, and I, and the, the sort of glaring moment that was, that was when, uh, they're, um, they're American, amazing offensive play, dunks it over everybody, and then he's sort of backing up, and he's sort of, you know, you know that jog backwards where you're sort of like, you're sort of jawing at everybody?Yeah.And then someone just cross-court pass over his head to a guy who just makes an easy layup, and you're like, well, that, that beautiful dunk was, was just a race because you were.Mouthing off.That's what I say to the youth as well.But also, uh, we said about Njardvik, but also congratulations to Runa, they're, they're expecting again.Oh, they are?Oh, congratulations.I saw that on Facebook, so.Yeah, they're, um.Seems to be baby season.Yeah, maybe it is.Njardvik is, um, but, not, but the Njardvik, but the Njardvik team that Runa has, they, they're not doing well enough.And, I mean, obviously, yes, they're missing Sato Tikure, and, um, and I, uh, I think Mario is.I think Mario is back, I think Mario is starting to scrimmage again, I can't, I can't remember how, how far along he's, how far along he is, but, uh, in his recovery, but, I mean, they have, I mean, Njardvik is, Njardvik is feeling Foteo Lampropoulos on their team.Um, you know, the, you remember the, uh, the 40-something-year-old, great player, don't get me wrong, good player, but you could see in, uh, one of the, I can't remember if it was the first or second game that he was playing, you could just see, like.He's still good, and he has a lot of experience, but the speed of the game is sometimes a little much for him.We're laughing because we've had phone calls, and we're trying to do continuity.Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's fun.Foteo Lampropoulos is, how old is this?How old is he, by the way?Okay, we just looked up the fact that, because I was pretty sure that he was with Fjöllnir last year, and, uh, Helgi looked up.He looked up the fact that he was with Njardvik.He's 43, David.Then went Hammar, then went Fjöllnir, and now he's back to Njardvik.Like we said, the quality is still there, but the body kind of maybe not keeping up with the ability.Don't get me wrong, I mean, like, Foteo, like, I've seen this guy play, I mean, he has good instincts, he has good, I mean, he has amazing touch, and like, he's not a bad player, but being 43, and with that kind of big body in this kind of league, that's a lot of fun.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.It's a really fast league nowadays.I mean, I don't know, I don't know how long you can last.I did, I did hear a rumor that David O'Keeke, uh, maybe, they may be trying to, Njardvik may be trying to get David O'Keeke to come and play for Njardvik.What do you think about that?I'd be surprised at that.Why?But not surprised in the fact that Hammar, how much has been added to Alstin, it's like, yeah.Yeah, I mean, no, David O'Keeke plays for Alstin.Alstin is last year, but that Njardvik would take him on now, I mean, I think he's, I thinkhe's in Italy right now.Okay.Probably.I don't know.But, I mean, again, and this sort of takes me to the next kind of funny, funny segment.But then again, what he played with Alstin is last year, like.He was alright.He wasn't a, I.That's what I mean.It's not the sort of marquee sort of sign-in.It's going to add to your squad, but it's not going to be the answer to your squad.Well, yes, I think that, uh, well, the thing, this,this is kind of the thing that I, like, David O'Keeke is a physically very dominant playerand very, very big in it, but he kind of, I feel like he's underperformed, uh, not allof the time, but some, some seasons he's underperformed here in, uh, Iceland.And, yes, he's probably not a marquee signing, for instance, for Alstin is, but I thinkfor a team like Njardvik that seems to be struggling, he could really help them.Okay, putting you on the spot, you think Sindri and Arman will stay in those bottom?Did we predict them at the bottom?We predicted, uh, Sindri and Höhtur at the bottom with Arman in the 10th position.Arman is right now at the bottom of the league, having been, uh, thrashed in both their firstgames.Uh, to be fair, they're, they went up against, uh, Tintastotl and Keplæk.Oh, that reminds me.Did you see the, uh, did you see that Tintastotl lost, uh, Drungilas?So, in the, in the Tintastotl, for our listeners, in the Tintastotl-Njardvik game, uh, Drungilashad a misstep, which looked like a very, very bad sprain.Uh.But it was revealed, um, a week ago, I think it was, or maybe, yeah, just about a weekago that, uh, he had, uh, broken two bones in his foot.Yeah, he's, I mean, if he's, I hope, if, if, if the, if the tendons and everythingis, is, is not, is not torn, he'll hopefully be back by Christmas.Yeah, it's usually three, six, nine bones, every three or whatever.I think it was, I think it was some of the bones in his foot.I think.Uh, from, from what I could tell, uh, in the discussions, I think that if it, if everythinggoes, if every, if he's lucky, uh, Christmas.Okay.So, moving on from that.But, um.Good wishes, best wishes to him.That brings me to another idea that somebody told me, like, why doesn't OKK then go forTintastotl?I mean, Tintastotl needs a big guy.Why doesn't OKK go there?I mean, Tintastotl can pay much better than Njardvik, I think.Well, maybe somebody will listen and that's what they'll do.Um, you want to go national windows next?I kind of want to go over reactions first.Reactions to what?I know it's only been two games, but.But it's only, it's only two games, yeah.Like we, we've basically said, you know, the, the whole of these leads can, can change within,within two, three games.So it's, to me, we're kind of talking about what's been going on, but it's, it's, it'stoo early to be.All right.So I'm going to go with it.I know it's only two games, but I don't think Aurman is going to win.More than one game this season.And I know it's only two games, but I think Hötur is, is positioning themselves thatthey might be able to, uh, fight for the eighth position.Hey, I've got to be nice to Hötur.We play them in a week's time.Yeah, yeah, yeah.I mean.But also, uh, Grindavík on the women's side, that's slightly surprising, but.Well, come on, hit me with one, hit me with an overreaction.I know it's only two, I know it's only, well, in the women's, I know it's only four games,but.We'll both.I don't think the Aurman teams drop down this season.Yeah, I think they, I think they're, I think there's a very big chance and a very big dangerof that.I mean, it's going to be Fjöllnir.Uh, they, even if they do get their foreign player and it, I mean, they'd have, even ifthe, even if they got a former WNBA player onto that Fjöllnir team, I think they arestill going to struggle with most, with most teams because they have a very young squadand I don't think they ever, I don't think they're.I don't think they should try for anything besides just trying to give some teams somegames.I think anything, anything else for Fjöllnir right now is an overreach.I mean, do you think they have a shot at being in the top eight?Aurman.Fjöllnir.Fjöllnir.No.Aurman, maybe, but who do they put, but, but then the question is, who do they put belowthem?Who can Aurman beat to put them in the ninth position instead of them?Keplavik?I mean, Keplavik is a fine enough team.I mean, Keplavik is in the, is in the eighth position just above, just above Aurman, butI feel like Keplavik has more continuity.They have more players who've played together and I mean, yes, they have a young and young,young and inexperienced coach, but so do Aurman.Let's see, overreactions on the women's side.I think, you know, I know it's only been four games, but I think,I think they have that in hand.I think that, I think that won't be the problem, but again, overreaction.I know it's only four games.I don't think Valur will be where they are either.Valur in the seventh position?I think they'll, I think right now, I kind of,I have a, I have a bad feeling that, that Valur and Tintastóttl will be the onescompeting for the fifth position in the, and the final spot in the, in the eight slot ofthe bonus women's.And I think Haukar are in a real danger right now of dropping to the seventh position.I know it's only four games, but I, I've, I don't know, I'm, I'm worried about the chemistrythere.I'm worried about the chemistry there.I'm worried about the chemistry there.I'm worried about them trusting each other or something.There's something, like you said, there's, there's some, there's some, there's something,the way they play, it's, there's, something feels off for me.Yes.All right.National windows.National windows.Go for it.I was just going to say congratulations to Jamil, the head coach of Valur women's team.He was appointed assistant coach for the women, the women's national team and for youth teamsin the summer.Oh, I wasn't aware of that.Good job.Good, good on him.Okay.Where the hell have you been?I don't read news, David.I'm kidding.I don't.I don't watch the news or, or, or read it.I miss, I miss, I just, I just miss a lot of.There you go.So Jamil is now the assistant coach.I've been a grass widower for two out of the last five weeks at home.Do you know what a grass widower is?Have you heard about that?No.So it's, it's an Icelandic term, which there, there isn't a good term for this in English.So grass widower is the direct translation.It means basically you're, you're home, you're home alone without, without your spouse.For an extended period of time.My, my wife was up North taking a work week in Akureyri.Two, for two out of the last five, five weeks.Two separate times.Which is fine.It just means that I don't have as much.I just don't have as much time to watch the news.I'm playing a violin for it.Yeah, yeah, yeah.I'm usually coaching in the evening, so I don't watch the news.And I, I don't watch it anyway.And I don't read.Most of this stuff is not.And I don't read newspapers either because it's, it's them telling you.Most of these newspapers.Most of the news doesn't get into the TV.But it's them telling you what you want to know.Sure, sure, sure.But no, I have, I follow Caravan, so it pops up on my Facebook feed.I mean, I've missed.I'm still old.I still do Facebook, apparently.I've even been missing the, some of the Caravan news reports, which, which explains why I didn't notice that Thora Kristinn was apparently pregnant.Or that Jamil was apparently now on the national team, national team coaching squad.Good job.Good on him.Anything else in the, was there, is there anything else going on?No, there was.There was some, there was some huge thing with the men.I think on Caravan, they went through this big thing with the men's window coming up next.Like chances of, all the chances and possibilities and what happens if this happens.I gotta check that out.It was kind of like so long I kind of stopped.Oh, some, so yeah, some big games in November.But Iceland has fallen four places in the FIBA strength power rankings.Um, we were, uh, in the, in the European, in the European rankings, we were in 21st position.We are now 25th.No, we are now, we're now, we're now in the 21st position.We were in the 17th.Um, all I need to know is, is there a chance in hell or is the chances already gone?We have a chance, but, um, is it, we now rely on other people's results in order to, if we get a win and they,so this,I mean, it's gonna, it's gonna be difficult.We need to win all four, all four games.Yeah, that ain't happening.Yeah, but we have a chance, uh, Iceland, uh, Iceland, Bosnia, Herzegovina, uh, home game.We have a shot, Turkey, Iceland.Okay.That was the awful game before that's when they, they really did whip us.Yeah.But I mean, we, we have, we have before showed up to an away game.Where the other team was, you know, underestimating us, not showing up with their full squad or not prepared.And we show up and have a good game.I mean, we've won Georgia away.We've won Turkey away.I think we've won Italy away, uh, twice.I think even, um, we can beat these, these premier European teams away.Yeah, but everything has to go our way.We have to be lucky with the squad with, uh, what?Team, the other, what, uh, what players, the other team's field.We have to be lucky with all of our players being healthy and productive in these games, which hasn't always happened.But, you know, who knows?We shall see.Yeah.When you step on the floor, who knows what's going to happen?Yeah, I think, I think so.Um, besides that, uh, is there anything, uh, Pink October, I guess.Do you want to mention that or anything?Like a lot of teams have been playing in pink this, pink these last few years.Oh, yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.Yeah.It's always good to see.Yeah, you know, women, women's, women's health, big, big thing.Um, I showed up in pink socks yesterday because I don't have, I used to have a pink shirt,but I couldn't find it because I, we moved a year ago and everything has lost.I put on my, I've started going to Bumperbolta.Oh, yeah.You told me.How's that going?How are your legs?How are your ankles?My knees are killing.My wife is like, dude, how the hell can you go from nothing to playing Bumperbolta?No wonder getting your fat ass.I've been, I've been, I've been out of commission for the last couple of weeks because I, I havesomehow gotten myself a case of tennis elbow.I've a sort of, I've, I'm on all sorts of, yeah, yeah, yeah.My violin's playing again for her.You see, I didn't say, well, don't worry, I know I'm fat.I'm losing the weight slowly but shortly.Yeah, yeah, yeah.With me, it's just, I'm, I don't know.It's just, I guess I'm riding too much up on the, shut up.He was making a wanking gesture, you idiot.No, it's just, I'm, I'm probably just riding too much up on the board or something and it'skilling my, killing my right forearm.It's not comfortable and, and the, but the worst thing is I can't play basketball.Like, I hate, when I can't play basketball, my motive, my, my motivation to exercise isless.I understand.But you're, but I'm guessing your motivation to exercise is more now, right?Yeah, I've been going to the gym with my son.Good job, man.So, we'll see a slimmer, slimmer David in the next podcast.Yeah, apparently these fat pills are kind of maybe coming on the market properly.What?Is it these pep or pig or whatever it's called?Did you say pep a pig?No, these injection things.Apparently, it might be made into pill form or something.I don't know.Maybe that's coming.The, the thing that people inject and then it kind of, then they lose a ton of weightand they look sick and then they kind of, it stabilizes out.You mean Ozembic and the weak Ovi stuff in that?I don't know what the hell it is.I don't know what the hell it is.I don't know what the hell it is.I don't know what the hell it is.But people seem to be doing that route nowadays and actually.Yeah, I mean, it's, it's less invasive than, you know, getting your stomach stapled orsomething like that.Please don't do that.No, I'm just going to go to the gym and try and shut my mouth at certain times of thenight and not eat and just drink.Don't eat late, don't eat late in the evening and, and, you know, don't eat between mealsor whatever.I start the day with lemon and salt and hot water.Lemon and salt and hot water.I'm going, I, I, I'm doing overnight oats nowadays.It's, it's good for my gut health.We are so old.With the chia seeds.With the chia seeds and all that stuff.Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.Yeah, we are so old.We're like talking about, as I have, I have lemon water in the morning.I was thinking.I have over, I'm, I'm, I'm watching my gut bacteria.When you were talking about the Greek player being 43, I was like, I'm only 47.Oh my God.If you ever made it onto the court for the bonus division, that would be something.That's not happening.Yeah, no.But I want, I would love to see you play a couple of games for the second division.Thank you.All right.But if you'd be.They have a, they have a B team, don't they?Not, not this year, no.The next year.You'll be the, you'll be the team captain, equipment manager, coach, water boy, everything.All right, David.We'll catch, I'll catch you again in a couple of weeks.All right.Take care.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.Bye.
