Hello. Hi, my name is Anne McElheny. And I'm Philan McAleer. And welcome to the Ann and Phelan

Scoop. Yes. It is week 68 of the two week to flatten the curve lockdown. And that's 68 weeks.

That's one year and four months since the government said we're just going to close everything for two

weeks to flatten the curve

and actually it's four weeks well actually the the let me just make one thing clear do make one thing

clear for i make many things clear hopefully but if it wasn't for gavin newsom's recall election

in California would be in another lockdown now you You know, this Delta, we'll talk about the Delta variant later. But, you know, so when the government tells you this is only, something's only for two weeks. Run. Run. Run for the house. Emigrates. Yes. Go to Montana. Yes. Or Wyoming. Or somewhere where they're free. People are really free. There aren't basically Florida. I think it's basically Florida. Yes. And it's, by the way, very important. Another marker that we're now doing, which I think will be a feature of our show, it's four weeks now since the mainstream media has decided not to report on the fact that the President of the United States's son, Hunter Biden, used the N-word repeatedly, and apparently it's not a big deal.

Yes, no, not a big deal.

They can ruin a 16-year-old's life.

By the way, I just want to thank everyone.

We made an appeal last week,

and we're going to renew the appeal this week for you to help us to make the MISON Hunter movie.

We are approaching having raised a million dollars,

but we're still some distance away from that, but we really need your help. If you're listening

to the podcast, if you like the podcast, if you like what we do. If you like us, at all. At all.

If you like the Irish, anything. That's right. Yeah, any of those. Any of our, any of our qualities. If you, yes. Yes. Yes. The banter. The banter. The, the, the lovingness or something. The lovingness. And talking of the lovingness, actually there's going to be, um, some news. We're going to have slightly different way the podcast will be for the next little while because I'm going to Ireland for a secret mission. A secret project. A secret project. So we will be doing, this will be, first of all, very sad, by the way, it'll be the first time that we've been apart for as long as we're going to be apart. In the life of our marriage. But we're very busy working, so maybe it'll be very focused on all of that. So yes, so I'll be in Ireland, but I'll be bringing some kind of regional news from Ireland. And I'll also do a little bit of kind of Irish tourism. I'll show you a little bit of the parts of Ireland that I love. And I'm sure there'll be weather and recipes. Don't you be casting the Ladae at any of those Irish men in their woolly jumpers?

They're course, they're curly hair.
