| 0:00.0 | And the So, All right, I'm here with Wayne. |
| 0:25.0 | Happy New Year, Wayne. |
| 0:30.0 | Happy New Year, Ewey. You're looking great, you're looking really good my friend. |
| 0:35.0 | Oh, is that right? |
| 0:37.0 | I'm fine, yes, all good. |
| 0:40.0 | Enjoyed my Christmas and New Year break. Good. I guess when you get older you kind of give up on me doing some mega night out so it was rather |
| 0:58.0 | I stayed with my 10 year old everyone else went to bed and I stayed up with my 10 year old and saw in the new year. |
| 1:03.4 | Oh nice yeah there's a moment in everybody's life and considering that we're |

| 2:17.4 | obviously announced the partial takeover on Christmas Eve and then on Boxing Day released a 240 page SEC filing which |
| 2:26.8 | we talked about last time which everyone has poured over in great detail sexy stuff and then he was in the club just this last week with his team meeting, |
| 2:35.5 | but ostensibly meet and greets because the takeover hasn't been ratified yet or partial takeover, |
| 2:41.2 | I should say, to meet the interim CEO and the manager, the football director and so on. |
