Hey mates, just Matt dropping in here quickly before the start of the episode.

0:04.0

You know, we're doing three more live streams coming up over the following three Saturdays.

0:08.4

Saturdays Melbourne time anyway.

0:11.2

So Melbourne time, it's midday Saturday, this week for instance, Saturday the 18th of April at midday.

0:19.7

But you can go to our website if you're somewhere else in the world just to double check the conversion rates.

0:24.0

I've done it myself here. For instance, midday Saturday is Friday night 10pm in Toronto in Canada or Columbus, Ohio.

0:36.5

It's 9pm Friday in Dallas, Texas, 7pm in LA. She's America has a lot of time zones apparently. New York City in New York

0:46.6

is 10pm on Friday. London, Cardiff and Dublin. I'm guessing all of the UK and Ireland that's 3am,

0:55.9

which sucks. Sorry about that. But the good thing about these streams is they're up for 24 hours.

1:01.6

So you can watch it at whatever time suits you best in the 24 hours after it comes out.

1:07.2

So if you're not a party animal from Cardiff, you can watch it the next morning when you get up if you want to.

1:13.2

Auckland obviously is 2pm, Prime time Saturday and Iceland also in the middle of the night to 8am Paris for aim.

1:29.1

But it was fun to me. It blows my mind. The world has different, all these different times.

1:34.5

And we're ahead of most of you, apart from those wild-eating New Zealanders who are streets ahead of the rest of the world.

1:41.4

In so many ways, anything else I need to tell you? Oh, I say porn differently to Americans.

1:50.2

I say, so when I say porn shop, I mean what you would call, I guess a poor, poor,

1:56.9

one-shop. I can't do it. To us, porn and porn are homophones. But to you, sound very different.

2:04.1

Porn and Porn, PAWN is porn. P-O-RN is also porn. Sorry.

2:13.3

But it's fun. Language is fun. We're also wearing suits during this. So there's a couple of very brief references to that.

2:20.6

Anyway, if you want to watch the streams, please go to sospresents.com.

2:26.3

And yeah, you can get a ticket for the following three weeks if you want to.
