It's been a while. Hello, one of them.

I thought you were going to even check your voice to make sure that it works.

Yeah, I wasn't so sure. Welcome to After Chicken Flag, our F1 Special Series, which I think

everyone thought had died of death because we haven't done one of these episodes in I

think about four months. Three races.

Yes, sorry, everybody. Let's just say 2022 is a busy old year for us, isn't it?

I mean, you more than me in terms of international travel. I'm still here on a Monday, but none

of this equipment is here. Yes, I mean, I guess we shouldn't complain. I shouldn't complain.

It's nice to be busy, but it has made recording these episodes particularly difficult, because

if you're new to After Chicken Flag, you've never heard it before. Essentially, Paul and I

get together either on a Sunday evening, quite rarely, or more realistically, first thing on

a Monday morning, to talk through the race that had just happened and all of our thoughts

and feelings and what's called conspiracy theories or controversial opinions.

Because we don't really know anything that we're talking about.

No, no, we're clueless. We're, you know, we tell anecdotes, we have no experience or expertise.

But yeah, most of the time when I've been traveling, I've been watching the race on Sunday

and then leaving first thing on a Monday morning, and Paul's like, hey, mate, on my way to the

studio, I'm like, I'm in France. It's not quite like that. I think it's a little bit more organized,

shall we say? A little. Never a wasted journey on my part. No, it hasn't been a wasted journey yet,

but apologies. And we are trying to do something about this. I'm trying to do something about this.

But at the same time, we did say that actually, we do, of course, I think, talk about every week,

we talk about everyone nonstop via WhatsApp, not an ad, other text services are available.
