Well, here we are. Episode number 50.

0:05.7

Amazing.

0:07.7

You know, it sound very amazed.

0:11.7

So we're going to do some sort of 50th episode celebration stuff a bit later.

0:18.0

So I guess we can talk about 50 and reminisce and talk about the good times and the bad times.

0:22.4

And should we do what TV shows do when they need to cheap out, which we have a clip show?

0:27.4

Lots of flashbacks.

0:28.5

There's a music montage, a bit of green day time if you're laugh playing in the background.

0:34.1

Yeah, yeah. We need to think of just the barest, the barest structure to hold together a bunch

1:07.7

We are unserious. Unless of course it is playing crash corner. If it's playing crash corner,

1:12.8

then it's deadly serious. Quite literally. Quite literally. We'll come to the 50th shortly,

1:18.1

but I should apologise in advance for the poor sound quality on the 50th, but I am once again

1:22.8

on the road with some dodgy sound set up going here, which is a series of ropes and rocks and

1:28.2

things like that holding everything in place. Apologies, I'm not using my usual set up.

1:33.5

Yeah, that's because you are at the spiritual home of number file.
