Welcome to the challenge pod with me, James Dillingpole and I know I always say I'm excited

about this big special guest but this podcast has been a very long time coming and lots

of you have been gagging to, well I think you have, you've been gagging to hear my

old friend Christopher Drake talk about Butteco but Christopher before I introduced you

properly I wanted to tell you a story. A few years ago I was sitting on my computer

scrolling through my emails and I got this email from this random, random bloke that

I'd never heard of before who turned out to be a big fan of whatever I was doing at

the time it can't have been the podcast and this guy said to me, I'm a big fan of yours

and I would love to teach you Butteco and I'd never seen this word before, B-U-T-E-Y-K

and I thought well yeah maybe and I do what I always do with these emails and I'm

not sure what to do with them and I sort of put it on the back burner and normal hands

I then forget about them. It's not that I want to forget about them, I just do. And not

long after I got this email I felt really quite ill with an all manner of horrible problems

you know ranging from insomnia to flu-like symptoms to etc etc etc etc. It was horrible

and I lost all my strength and it was a nightmare and I thought well maybe I'll maybe

this Butteco weird guy will be able to help me and well the weird guy was you Christopher

and it was a lifesaver it was a lie you were a lifesaver you really were delighted I mean you know

I mean I never I always think I'm just lucky that's the way I view my situation I mean I have lots

of you know difficulties and problems to solve and and day-to-day stuff but on the whole I just

I'm overwhelmed with gratitude it sounds so pompous doesn't it Graham so overwhelmed with gratitude

no I'm just so I feel so fortunate and so I'm very compelled to tell people about this any chance

I get but on the face of it it's so off the wall superficially off the wall that it's very hard
