The Hello and welcome to the Cynic Weekly. I'm your host, is Ava, Louie McAfrey, and this week I am joined by a very handsome, a bit more hairy than he was last week. It's Christopher Bowd. How are you, Tiberius?

Great, Lou, Hail, Hail. Glad to be back. Keeping the run up here. See if we can get it through to next week on the people's

pod, but I doubt it.

Yep, Alan's shaking his head.

He knows things that I don't.

It feels like the old days, bowdy, you know, when we didn't have so many high-quality contributors.

It was literally just us, so you had to be there.

But, no, it's lovely to have you

two weeks in a row we're also joined by a return and he's nobody on in a while we've all missed

them very much I know his uh his c has missed him massively is barry galah how are you barry

i'm very good um glad to be back here and um um, I've had a wee upturn since I've been last on

but maybe not the weekend which we'll come on to but good to be here

and nice to see you handsome gentlemen.

It's always better when there's a bit of negativity.

Seeing things are going well, the pods are never as good. So we'll get there. And we're also joined by the real expert in the room. It's Alan Edgar. How are you,

Alan? Good. Thanks very much for having me on, mate. I appreciate it. Always loved doing the

wheel. You weren't on the agenda. You weren't on the agenda, will you? No, I was not. We certainly don't do so well. I have a tickly cough, so

I had a very tickly cough yesterday. I like that, though. The weeklies getting the chance

to get your fresh thoughts on it. If you're wondering what the hell the agenda is, the agenda
