0:00.0	What must impulse?
0:04.1	Hello and welcome to episode. I'm really pushing my luck with the cricket here but
0:22.1	I'm recording this on the Monday after England won on Sunday and how about those England lads
0:27.3	eh we wanted hard but fear we played hard but fear I will be talking about the cricket more
0:35.4	in a minute I'm aware that I have to ration it because I just can't afford to lose listeners. I hope you're good. I hope you've been having a good weekend. I'm being popular. I'm being popular. Positive here. Positive. And there's a new, I don't know if you've heard, but there's a new alternative to Twitter called threads. I mean, it's just the biggest rip-off in the world.
0:55.7	Do you know what I mean?
0:56.1	They call it threads.
0:57.6	Like, they've just ripped off to fucking lay out everything. Someone's going to get sued, but I'm here for it in the meantime. It should be a laugh.

1:38.9	Twitter and you want a Twitter type thing, then you could go to Instagram and find my
1:42.6	threads account. Fuck.
2:03.3	I mean, I'll be honest. I hope it fails. I do hope it fails because it's just more places you have to post fucking stuff. It's a pain in the ass. So I hope it fails, but I can't afford to not be on side if it does take off. And it's so positive over there. It's really weird.
