Good morning, Lee. I hope you're well.

So, Romana Maharshi film. What do you think?

I think you've been slightly facetious because before we recorded, I said,

so any chance we can still crack on a bit quicker this week rather than the small talk that you usually do.

Yeah, you don't want to be small talk. Fine. I get it get it i get it because i think it's important to tell the listeners that when we do the small talk that they're listening to that's still very edited you can sometimes talk for 45 minutes before we get on with what we're talking about i you know what i call that i call that friendship yeah but you're selling our friendship a small amount of money, the emphasis being on small. I mean, the amount of times I've said to you, oh, guess what happened this week? You go, save it for the podcast. You are so disingenuous. You say that more than I do. I'm very worried about your concept of reality. That just is not true. Is it? You use the phrase, save it for the podcast, at least 10 times more than best. It's your catchphrase. I'm going to get a t-shirt made with it on. Anyway, we are talking about, and I know I'm going to say his name wrong, Ramana Mahashi. We are. So we... The film.

We put a link in the episode description of last week's episode and said, if you get a chance, watch that. It doesn't matter if you haven't, because we'll still... If you are joining this podcast, though, you haven't heard any episodes, and you can't be of going back to the beginning, I would at least suggest maybe going back and watching the film before you listen to this one, they might help your enjoyment.

And I think everybody,

everybody except one person seemed to click on the link, one person emailed in and said,

my link didn't work, so I had to follow Lee's instructions. Yes, that makes me happen. One person did that. So, you know, one person's mentioned it, but like on Twitter,

if one person says, you know, I find your jokes tedious. You know there's another 50,000. Oh, yeah. In that example, I will absolutely agree with you. Yeah, you're not me. I'm not saying the reviewing me. I'm saying the reviewing you. Oh, right, okay. Just have interest. You still agree.

Yeah, I totally agree.

Oh, okay. So, yeah, so that film, so I've got to have to preface. This is on topic. Yeah. I got this morning before we started, I just thought, oh. Here we go. No, no, no, no, no, no. I've said it's on topic.

I thought, I'll check the emails before we start. I like to have a little look at the emails. It's quite exciting when we get in the email. I like, anyway, I'm getting on top of those emails, so do keep emailing in. I do like to read the response. You're going back to the days of responding? No, I'm just catching up. I think I'm nearly up to date now. Probably about a week off up to date, but anyway. Could you do me a favour just to get to him, listeners, could you bombard him

if listeners, could you bombard him? He'll feel the need to respond. And my attitude is the more he's

responding to you, the less he's harassing me. So I just keep bombarding. It's a way that my friendship with you is now down to two hours a week on a Saturday. And then, you know, it's, if you say, I need to have a chat with you, go, we'll talk on Saturday. You know, so it's penciled into that window now. Great. Now, check the email this morning. and there was a new email in there and I'll just read the first sentence because I think it tees up probably

I'm guessing where you may be going with this episode as well. This is from Jonathan Foster. Oh, you're doing names now, are you? You were reluctant to do names in the past. No, I was thinking about this morning. what I've been doing is when people have sent in questions, I've been then emailing them back going,

do you mind if I use,

we might do another Q&A.

Can I use... I was thinking about this this morning. What I've been doing is when people have sent in questions, I've been then emailing them back going,

do you mind if I use, we might do another Q&A, can I use this question on the episode? And I suddenly thought this morning, why am I doing that? Because if they've emailed in and asking a question, I think we can assume that they're happy for it to being asked. Yeah, it's a bit like when I wrote to Noel Ed's Swap Shop in the late 70s saying I wanted to swap my emu game for something.

I can't remember what it was.

But it would have been odd if Noel had rang me up and said, listen, we really like this idea for swap.
