Hello and welcome to the podcast of the Lotus Eaters. This is episode 980 on today the 16th of August 2024 almost forgot what month it was there for a moment I'm your host Harry joined today by

Bo and special returning guest Rafe Hadel-Manku.

Apologies I had to double check the notes for you.

Not the first time that's happened.

So how are you doing today, sir?

Excellent, great to be with you.

20 away from 1,000 episodes. That's very interesting. You got a big episode lined up, I imagine.

Closing in, yeah.

Yeah, we do have something very big planned. I don't know if the plans are out there for the audience to know yet.

Are they, Samson? Well, gold subscribers continue to send in your video comments for us.

And remember as well later on today.

We'll be joined, this panel here,

will be joined by Stelios,

where there will be a two on two pub quiz

that we've got some questions coming from our audience members,

gold team members I assume have sent in. got some questions coming from our audience members gold

zoom at gold tier members I assume have sent in their video

questions as well should be good fun these two are going to be a team

myself and stelios are going to be a team and I've said before if these two get any history questions we are going to get steamrolled

so hopefully there aren't too many of those. That is the problem with a pub quiz is it does show that actually you don't know what you're talking about quite often.

You know, you should someone's actual level of general knowledge, there's no hiding.

Could it be that in suggesting the pub quiz, were you, I have accidentally tanked my own career before it even really started.
