Right, this is a bonus episode of the podcast because there's much less rugby going on and we are the only rugby podcast committed to bringing you an episode 52 weeks of the year for nearly 10 years as well at that.

So, yeah, what we're going to do now is we're going to give you a little sneaky peek behind the curtain at what goes on on our Patreon.

Patreon. Patreon.com forward to our sec chases where you can support the podcast if you appreciate what we do and you want to show that appreciation and more importantly get a bit of extra content.

This is an episode that we recorded immediately after the last episode, which for the last few days has been exclusive to our Patreon listeners and is the kind of thing you can get more of if you come and support us there.

So, with that, on we go surprise record. Right, here we are. Here we go. Let's continue the conversation we were just having on the podcast in relation to American TV shows and how they drink another observation is and do you ever do this where you just get in from a day at work and you go to the fridge and get a beer and just one beer.

No, I don't. I don't. So, a couple of reasons why I used to love when I finished working as a waiter. I used to love having a bottle of peroni.

You said, love it. And another time when I went through a real fitness kick through the summer had 48 cans of neck oil in my basement in the fridge.

So, I was drinking like 9% craft IPAs, but kind of doing it on an empty stomach or just just to get me just to get the hit of the alcohol.

Wow, that is dark.

It was a bit better.

Oh, this was your ketamine phase, wasn't it?

Yeah, we talked about this.

The trance that I was in for about two, two and a half weeks before I realized it was all bullshit is at the end of the day.

Because it was that red dot summer as well.

Yeah, yeah.
