Episode Details

Opening & Personal Banter (0:00–3:00)

• Jokes about his tiny shirts / size.
• Clip played of Valai coaching technique (hammer drill, hard edge, friendly/unfriendly shoulders).
• Speculation on replacement: possible internal promotion (Xavier Brewer mentioned as well-liked, high-energy).
