Jamie O'Hara and Carlton Cole were in fits of laughter as the former Spurs midfielder reflected on where teammate Luka Modric is in his career.
Modric, fresh from collecting his sixth Champions League winners medal, is also currently starring at Euro 2024, captaining Croatia as they look to win the tournament for the first time in their history.
The European Championship trophy is one of the only pieces of silverware that has evaded the 38-year-old during his career, who rose to prominence in the Premier League when he joined Spurs from Dinamo Zagreb in 2008.
There, he played alongside Rafael van der Vaart, Gareth Bale as well as O'Hara, who is at talkSPORT where he hosts the Sports Bar having hung up his boots in 2020.
Speaking about his former teammate, he laughed: “He’s playing in the Euros with six Champions Leagues and I’m sat here on the Sports Bar!"
Sitting alongside him was former West Ham striker Carlton Cole, who joked: “The contrast in football careers, eh?”
“It’s crazy, it’s crazy," O’Hara smiled.
The two actually got onto the subject of Modric when remincising about beautiful goals or the ones scored from outside the area given the volume that have flown in at the Euros.
Rewind to August 2009 and Tottenham travelled to West Ham's Upton Park for a London derby in the Premier League - and O’Hara, Cole and Modric were all involved in the clash.
Cole opened the scoring on the day, scoring a mesmerising left-footed volley from outside the box.
But he soon went from hero to zero, giving the ball away to ex-Hammer Jermain Defoe who pounced on the opportunity and sparked the comeback.
Aaron Lennon found the net too with just over 10 minutes to go, helping Spurs to seal a 2-1 win in the Hammers' back yard.
But despite his error in the game, Cole was still happy to bring it up on the Sports Bar in front of his former opponent.
"It was a great goal!” he said. “I think it was [Sebastien] Bassong that tried to challenge me in the air. Then I think Ledley King tried to challenge me, I’ve used him as a shield and then bosh, left foot from outside the box!"
O’Hara, who came at the end of the derby, said: “I think I was involved in that game - from the bench! I was spectating as usual!”
Then he reminded Cole that he came on for Modric and that Spurs actually won.
“And what are you doing now?” he hit back.
Who really wants to captain their country at the Euros anyway, Jamie? talkSPORT Towers is much better...
