Before we get started, you know, we like to talk for hours on the end before we actually get to... I just want to bring up that it's Pete's birthday of recording, the day of recording. Oh, happy birthday, mate. Now, listen, love Pete. He's great. Got nothing bad to... I mean, I don't know him that well, but he's... To be honest, I don't want to... I think it's too early to say. Yeah, maybe. He could be a...

But he's, to be honest, I don't want to... I think it's too early to say. Yeah, maybe. He could be a... He's a... I don't know what he does in his private life. But, as far as I'm aware, as far as I'm aware, he's a great guy. Yeah. It's his birthday today. How was I supposed to know it was his birthday today? how would I have known it was his birthday today? Katie does that thing that makes everyone look bad in the WhatsApp group, which she just goes, happy birthday, Pete. Oh, yeah. And I go, well, I can't say it now because I just look like... When someone does that, I just put the other two lines, like the like, just that. Right. Same nice. What's that? James is right that it does make everyone else it bad. Oh, Christ. That's true, though. God. Now, the thing that was last week. The thing you, are we still talking about that?

The thing you won't know, Joe. Yeah, it doesn't go. The thing you won't know, Joe, is that I was also a few minutes late anyway. Yeah. Because I had to, I had an emergency. I had to go and get some lip balm. Yeah, I saw that on the WhatsApp video as well when I finally, actually I read it about five minute. But I was like, I was

halfway, I was halfway writing.

Oh, Pete. But I just didn't bother because I was just like... Yeah, you're just... You've made us all look bad. You just... And you made Lily Mae, I assume you, did you text him privately?

Yeah.

Yeah.

And also,

you're fine,

you're covered.

Yeah,

but what I will say is,

and this might not help,

but he actually did say he wasn't coming to this record because it was

his birthday in our last record,

but that was a little while ago.

All right.

You can't,

just, come on, man. That's annoying, Lily, man. I'll be honest with you. Because my whole argument was how the fuck am I supposed to know is the guy's birthday. I know. I know what I've made it worse. He did tell us. He did say, yeah. Right. So that's how I should have known. And that's why he's not here. That's why he's not here, yeah. So this episode is dedicated to our executive producer Pete, uh, who it's his birthday today. Who did tell me it was his birthday. But not in a, but I forgot. Not in a way that anyone can do. He needs to remind me the day before. Remind them before. Yeah. Well, it needs to be there and then. Stuff like that you get cancelled about. Like he never remembered a birthday. He was a piece of shit. I'm not going to have a leg to stand on. Yeah. In 10 years' time. I can't just go, well, I don't remember it that way.

That's always the excuse, isn't it?

You can't run, yeah.

Not to my recollection.
