Hello and welcome to the IGN UK podcast. A podcast about everything and nothing. Uh, this

week joining me is Matt Persler. Hello. How you doing? It's been, I'm doing all right.

Thank you. It's been a while since I've been on, I think. It has. I mean, it's felt

like a while, isn't it? Cause we recorded loads in advance. And then, you know, now we're
