Hello, three minutes after ten is it. Would you like to play a game today? Would you like to play a little game? I've got an idea for a little game. I thought we'd play, who is the craziest? A commentator regarding the current crisis. I've got five names for you. I'll run you through their commentary shortly. I'm currently doing this off the top of my head, which means I'm already regretting opening the show with it because there's a strong chance I won't remember all five of them.
