As you know, Kilkenomics kicks off next Thursday evening, and we are honored and delighted to have

one of the finest minds in German economics. Professor Gunter Grun, he is on the line from Dortmund.

Gunter, how are you?

So, how are you guys, David?

As you understandly, the antichits of shlangut and outer slung on so later.

So it's just a joy to be on the podcast at last. My apologies, I've refused so many times.

And tell me, what are you going to be doing at Kilconomics? What are you going to be sharing?

So three shows that you really don't know what you get, the way it's organised. You're really thrown in at the deep end.

So one for me that I'm really looking forward to as Rory Sutherland. We'll be talking about how to get ahead in advertising. As you know, he's the vice chairman of Ogilvie. This man is like the masked

clever people discussing how the

Irish economy could alkanotly distillate. If you don't morphanuclear exchange, your proglotidic,

causing meridial convulsions, not just locally, but also in the ever-expanding pan-European epiginously

palmated diffusion brackets. So now, somebody will say something like that, and my job is to go, really? And then get them to say it again in English. So now somebody will say something like that and my job is to go, really,

and then get them to say it again in English. So that's the crack. That's the crack. And

apart from Kilconomics, what else are you up to? Contra. I'll try to Kilkenomics. Well, I'm doing

the usual thing. I'm with Avery talent. So if you need a conference host or you're doing a seminar,

Christmas parties,
