There's no Viva Golf voice for this episode, and there's no intro video because we've got

Dan Dix live from, can I make jokes about it? Like you're live in cartel warfare land in Mexico.

Some of my audience, they should know who you are, but in case they don't, Dan, tell them who you are,

And I realized something is happening.

Something major is going on in the world.
