Hey everybody, producer Thim here.

A quick word of explanation before we start the show.

Sometimes we have some technical difficulties that we don't notice until after we record.

Unfortunately this week that was the case, so we did have to use the backup audio file for Alex's audio which unfortunately

isn't as nice as we would usually like it. We'll have it back up and running before the next

episode. Thanks for listening. This is off track with ancient ros. This is off track with you again.

This is off track with ancient ros.

This is off track with ancient Rosie.

Who's starting us off? That was it.

Hello and welcome.

He said it.

He said hello and welcome.

Um, guys, this is kind of cool.

James and I are in the same room.

We are. So we can, I don't know how that changes anything.

It just makes it more exciting, more intimate.

Unfortunately, it makes it easier for tip. I never thought about it that way.

Not really.

And like I'm in the same city.

I could have been told we were meeting up.

Oh no, you weren't't invited the problem is it would have been hard for three of us to gather around one Mike now it's cool guys I would I would have come over if either of you'd made it in the fast nine but you still wouldn't have been invited if either of us made it the Fast Nine.

So let's be honest, we wouldn't be doing this podcast because we'd be too busy doing real interviews.
