It's time now for the chipping forecast, number 160, I don't know, 160 something.

So come in, welcome, close the door.

Actually, forget about everything else. The world is serious, often grim at the moment. So we're going to try and offer an escape for an hour, possibly an

hour and 15, or an hour and 20. It might just go on and on and on today. Actually, I think we're treading a

fine line today because everybody on the pod today is dealing with some criticism in some way.

We'll try and deal with that.

But as long as we all recognize that in the grand scheme of things,

none of this really matters that much, we'll be okay.

How are we?

Well, hang on.

So you've received the emails.

I never see the emails.

So what criticism has come my way?

Do you know the bizarre thing is that this week you seem to emerge almost unscathed?

And there are a couple of emails that have a little nibble, a little nibble at me and Ian.

And we're having a guest on today

who might get some criticism, I don't know, not from us, we're all friends, Lorry Cantor's

appearing later on, Ian Carter, how are you? I'm very well, I'd love this to be a football

podcast this week, just because on Saturday I saw the best goal I've ever seen live in my life. And the

Scottish half of me comes from Paisley. Yeah. And yesterday, the buddies, St. Mirren,

stuffed Celtic to win the first domestic title of the year, or of the season, I should say.

And that put a really massive smile to my face.
