Hello and welcome to the bridge cast. Wow. I did it. I did the whole thing. That's the whole show. Wow. I opened it well. It was really good. And that's it. I think that's the best we've ever done. Hello. It's September 17th. This is the

0:19.2

bridge cast. That's important. That was Dieter. It was a chance to rather happy birthday. So Dieter's here. But then everything else is on

0:28.7
