Hello there, welcome to a brand new R-Splug R-Scast right here on R-Splug.com.

How are you?

I hope you're well and I hope it isn't too weird in confusing having the R-Scast on a different day.

See, this week we're releasing the R-Scast on a Thursday as opposed to a Friday.

from this side of the Atlantic to that side is you stay awake as long as you can to get yourself

sort of in the clock of America and you drink beer because beer has been scientifically proven.

This isn't just me theorizing, it has been scientifically proven by actual scientists to

oh look, it's only eight o'clock or nine o'clock in the evening, but of course it's two o'clock

in the morning because you've been traveling from this side and then you go asleep and then hopefully

when you wake up you're sort of on the right clock, you're on the right time. So what I didn't want to
