I'm well. How is your morning? It's mixed. I'll be honest with you.

Yeah. I was late for the podcast. I hold my hands up. So we are arriving with you slightly later than

usual. And I was out last night drowning my sorrows after watching the Spurs game. Yeah.

I didn't work. Well, I don't remember much of yesterday. So that's some consolation.

But you remember the whole season, unfortunately. I'm fortunate the rest of the season sort of

stayed with me. Yeah. But you know, it's put me in a fantastic mood this morning. I've got a

clear head, a clear mind and ready for some sharp analytical thought on the podcast. Excellent.

Well, I mean, I should reveal, of course, that we were scheduled to record a 10 and then you texted
