Hooke and your host and I'm joined by regular guests tonight. Keith Colvin and

John Nicholson both copse season ticket holders and special guest Joe Blot. How would you like to be described Joe?

I'm now the season long retiree now.

Oh right okay. So where's your specio? So I'm in the upper main.

You're in the upper main. Yeah. Yeah, so I've got the I've got the bird side of you.
