Hampshire, at least before we blow away tomorrow, is Pilot Pete. Thanks for having me guys.

Yeah, thanks for that. I'm glad to, uh, we've got two shows in a row.

We've got Pilot Pete back with us.

There must be a disaster hit at our way then.

There is, yeah, that's right.

Sorry about my cracking of my throat again in the in the intro there.

John the good news is I actually got my throat scoped on Friday. They stuck a thing

down my nose believe it or not.

The camera?

Yeah. Well, no, a fiber optic scope, big long scope.

They numbed my throat and nose, obviously, first.

Okay.

Was it for visual inspection of your, okay, the area of whatever.

Of my vocal cords and of course my big concern was that I had developed what they call

singers nodules or calluses on my

throat. The good news is I did not. Turns out I have acid reflux and I told him I

have no symptoms of this and they said yes you do your throat.

Your voice might.

It was going to crap on you.
