Hi there, hi everyone. This is the Flats and Shanks podcast. This is episode number.

And I don't know the number, but it's quite a lot. Actually, I saw...

Late 40s. Bit like your age.

No, I saw how many episodes we've done. It's said on the other day I went on my podcast app and it said

it's like 200 episodes or something. I think we passed 200 episodes last week.

We've done more this year because of Covid.

Oh, Curtis Rona, the London Irish Centre, C-Rona.

Oh, man, I hate it when people call it Rona.

Yeah, he's called C-Rona, Corona.

It's called the first try at London Irish's new home at Brentford.

Where was yesterday? Anyway.

Anyway, hiya, hiya, Tommy.

Hiya, hiya, David. Yeah, I'm okay mate. I'm okay. I'm good.

I worked quite hard this weekend, but working is good. I like work.

I didn't like it last year. I love work this year.

So I'm going to say something now, Tommy. And you're not going to like the beginning of it, but you're going to like the end of it.

Alright, so don't get all uppity and all like real shanks as I like to call you away from the cameras and the mics about it until I finished.

Hold on mate, you better hope your past hasn't caught up with you before you start on a go at me.

Now we've all been there. Someone said on Twitter, the commentary on the Pro 14 is rubbish.

And I was like, oh no. Because Tommy was doing that. And then someone else replied, yeah, to beef, I agree whatever, but great to see shanks was really good.

Really open and unbiased. And then someone, the person who said it was rubbish said, yes, I agree with that.

And as we know, the opinions of people that we don't know on social media and will never meet are as important as the opinions of our employers.
