0:00.0	Hey everyone, Vancouver Radio, episode number 449.
0:04.3	I hope you're having an awesome time.
0:05.9	I hope you're not sweating all over in all sorts of ways
0:10.5	with the weather that we're having in the UK.
0:12.0	If you're outside of the UK and you live in a hot country, you probably look at us and think, oh my God, look at those UK people, how weak we get snow and the country shuts down we get heat and everyone melts but it has been
