Join us at escape collective.com forward slash join. Oh, Hello and I am here with Matt Denise.

Oh, wow. Not only do I get invited back, but I get first billing. How exciting is that?

And Lauren Rowney.

You deserve to be introduced first map because it's always such an honor to have you on here. We love having you.

That's lovely. Thank you. We gave Gracie the day off after 10 days of the Jura or something like that heavily pregnant we might add so

kudos to Gracie or I'm staying up till early hours of the morning but as we joked

last week it's just

prepping her really for what's to come in a few weeks.

Very true and yeah I mean it was she needed a rest from cycling after the 10

days of geo coverage and covering the race at ungodly hours of the day because Australia.

She's off today but we've got a great replacement in Matt.

Thank you.

I'm speaking of ungodly hours Abby what time is it for you there right now?
