| 0:07.4 | Damian, welcome back. How are you doing? |
| 0:10.1 | Good. We've had a nice mini break, haven't we, for the Easter period? We tend to do it most years, actually. |
| 0:16.2 | So it's quite nice to have the long weekend with the family and have a break from the schedule |
| 0:21.9 | having to record and do different things around money to the masses. |
| 0:25.4 | So that was really nice, but I'm now ensuesed and pumped to be back. |

| 1:36.3 | The second piece I'm going to be doing is in relation to probably the most famous investor ever, |
