All right, okay guys. Forgive me, I remain quite sick with a cough and a cold that just doesn't want to go away.

0:12.0

It's been over four weeks that I've been sick, but I thought I would do a quick public ex-spaces.

0:20.0

And then for those of you who wish to ask questions or, you know, have a discussion,

0:26.4

then you can subscribe to my exclusive feed,

0:30.0

where I will then set up another X-Spaces only for subscribers.

0:34.0

So this will be about, I don't know, maybe 20, 30 minutes.
