Hey Kitty, time to eat your profits. Good kitty, look how fat you've gotten. That's the sound of some

workplace pension providers paying their shareholders instead of you. At people's pension,

we don't have shareholders to pamper. That's why over the last five years, we've given

£100 million back to our members instead.

Oh, you've broken the cat flap again. People's Pension. Now that's a pension with purpose.

Visit people'spension.com.uk forward slash pays you. You. Welcome to Rance and Barrels episode number 128.

It is Friday, August 21st.

minority.

It might surprise you guys that, you know, the most negative people are probably the ones who are yelling all the time. So it's good to know. Good to know. People still enjoy watching baseball. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching the shortened season so far. So it's going well. Can't complain. How you doing, you know? It's good. It's good good i'm back i'm back uh on the horse after

after going out uh into the wilderness and i agree you know uh i think it actually baseball might
