Hello, all you jetty nights out there. Welcome to the Phantom podcast. I'm Griffin Newman.

I'm David Sims. Function is a slight time delay. Yep, sorry.

Producer Ben, you are not allowed to edit that out. And now hello, Fennel is our

catchphrase. No, editing that out. You're not. You're not. Hello, Fennel. Hello, Fennel.

Hello, Fennel. We're going to make hello Fennel T-shirts. It was like, it was fellas and

gentlemen all wrapped up in the one. Hey, it was perfect. And now we have a catchphrase.
