Hi everyone, welcome to Looslet with me, Porti Jota and the wonderful Sharon Carpenter.

Welcome, Ray!

I love the surprised gasp at the beginning, but you didn't realise you're about to take a podcast.

I was eating with a microphone.

It's something like I do in my general speaking, right?

I think people, we know where people like imitate you all, do they go,

and that's what people do about normal.

I don't do that, do I?

But I've come to realise that I do gasp and breathe a lot, and it's quite irritating and annoying.

I'm not a fan of it, is there anything that you get irritated by about yourself?

You just say, oh, I probably don't even realise half the annoying things that I do,

but I know one thing that I used to do in the past, which is use those filler words, right?

The ums and the nodamine and the likes and the us, and I remember doing this one interview.

It was with a British publication, I can't remember which one, but I watched it back.

I was thinking, yeah, I killed that interview, I slayed that interview and I watched it back.

And it was horrible!

I'm not even aware of that.
