Craig Harrison chuckles at the mention of TNS, the SPFL Trust Trophy, a world record recovery bid, Airdrie and Al-Hilal within the same sentence.
Truly, the implications of the SPFL Trust Trophy final for the Welsh club extend far beyond another piece of silverware for the already packed cabinet and a few drinks on the road back to Oswestry.
Rather, Harrison - the most successful manager in the club's history - is hunting down a historic quadruple this season, a first-ever SPFL Trust Trophy win from a club outside of Scotland and regaining the world record for consecutive wins snatched by Al-Hilal this year.
"A TNS win on Sunday, there could be a lot riding on it," said Harrison ahead of the showpiece final against Airdrie on Sunday at the Falkirk Stadium.
"We could equal our record of our own personal consecutive wins, we could get closer to Al-Hilal and we could have a third out of a possible four trophies.
"It's a big game and it's got a couple of layers added to it as well as being a big game in itself."
Former Premier League defender Harrison, 46, had led his side to the longest-ever consecutive winning run in 2017 with 27 wins on the trot to leapfrog Ajax's previous record. Al-Hilal are currently on a 29-match winning run.
TNS could equal their own record figure on Sunday and in turn bag a third trophy this campaign having already lifted the JD Cymru Premier title and the Nathaniel MG Cup. The New Saints are also in the semi-final of the Welsh Cup in what could be a trophy-laden season.
And Harrison is determined to taste victory in the SPFL Trust Trophy - regardless of other ambitions - having previously reached the semi-final at TNS and lost in the final to Ross County as Connah's Quay assistant.
"It certainly would be a nice one. It's always nice when you are the first one to do it," Harrison said.
"We've been very fortunate to win titles, win Welsh Cups, win league cups, compete in Europe, hold a world record for a length of time but not this one.
"I got to the semi-final when I was here previously and got beat off St Mirren and then I was assistant manager with Andy Morrison at Connah's Quay when Ross County beat us in the final in Inverness.
"To define the ultimate success would be to win it.
Being close on numerous occasions, it does make everybody want to go that one step further.
"From my point of view, and more importantly the club and Welsh football it'd be a fantastic one to record."

The New Saints have already dumped four Scottish sides out of the competition en route to the final - with Falkirk, Arbroath, East Fife and Hibernian B unable to match the Welsh champions.
And Harrison reckons having experience and knowledge of Scottish football littered throughout his team has been vital.
"It's invaluable. We've got Dec [Declan McManus], Jon Routledge, Danny Redmond and Jordan Marshall," said Harrison of his squad members turned scouts.
"All four have played at a really good standard - the highest standard in Scottish football and then a couple of clubs in the Championship as well.
"They know and understand the level and if we can lean on their expertise and pick their brains with little bits here and there it always helps.
"Myself and Chris Seargeant have managed to get to games to see Airdrie live on three occasions. Then, we've got Wyscout and other platforms that we can see games.
"We've done as much due diligence in our homework as we possibly could have done."
One player in particular whom Harrison needed no information on was Charlie Telfer who in a bizarre twist of fate will face TNS in the final after training with the club before his move to Airdrie.
"He came down to train with us for a few days," Harrison explained. "He got recommended and we spoke to his agent.
"I think he was a free agent so I think he went on after that to sign for Airdrie.
"We know how good Charlie is, we've seen him first-hand so we know he's a really good player, lot of experience, technically good player, loads of energy and loads of quality.
"We know a lot about them."
