A “bonus episode” of Staying Relevant where hosts Sam Thompson and Peter “Pete” Wicks read listener emails and debate what Instagram story likes mean, plus lots of off-topic banter (doomscrolling, past-life choices, “hot vs cold,” holiday dares, stag-do fantasies, and weird pool games).
None. The only “guests” are listener Phoebe (email question) and the hosts themselves (Sam Thompson and Pete Wicks).
Pete’s Instagram likes are driven by specific dog-and-mariachi content; liking stories is interpreted as more personal/romantic than liking grid posts; Pete is “permanently hot” and can hold his breath for up to 2.5 minutes.
Pete likes a mariachi band playing to a regal Italian greyhound in a sun lounger wearing a hat; they discuss saving folders (dogs, grooming, cooking like bone broth/noodle soup and anchovy-based boccheroni); past-life picks include “fashion student in Paris” and “distinguished Italian gentleman with espresso.”

Can Pete please explain why he's been liking video? Oh, gosh, here we go. Liking video. I didn't know where that was going to go then. Why he's been liking videos of mariachi bands playing songs to dogs. what are you two saving on Instagram or TikTok other than Sam's videos of Jacob Lordy's dress sense of course interested to say the lead that's a brilliant fucking email Pete answers on a postcard please two of my favourite things Mariachi bands and dogs it's I know exactly what it is have you seen it yeah because when you like something it pops up it's the best thing in the world Pete Wicks has liked this and I'm always fascinated it is the best thing in the world it is a Mariachi band playing a song to an Italian greyhound who's sitting on a sun lounger wearing a hat.
3:24And it is my favourite video. It comes up all the time and I love it so much because the dog is just sat there like that. And the mariachi band is playing and he looks so regal. He looks just so calm and happy and they look like they work for him. It is the best thing. It makes me happy every time I see it. We all know I love a mariachi band. That is true. But love a mariachi band. And just the dog, it's the best. Can you find it for me? Yeah. Tell me this doesn't make you happy when you watch this, all right? Because you will instantly watch it and you'll go, I want to be that dog. It's beautiful sunshine.
3:59It looks like a really expensive hotel. He's obviously having a little day to himself. I have seen that, actually, yeah. He's got a little sombrero on. Is that not the best thing you've ever seen? it's the best thing ever do you know what 8.9 million likes and I'm fucking one of them alright because I'm with the fucking nearly 9 million people who go I want to be that dog I want to be that dog he's just having a lovely time there's I can't I won't remember it but there's something I saw you like recently that I couldn't believe that you would like and I can't I like a lot of singing videos dude it was like it might have even been a singing video it was like but it was just so i saw pete wicks has liked it and i was like no i don't think you might have even reposted it or something and i was like i accidentally i think those are accidents yeah i don't understand the reposting thing i think they're accidents and i was like that that can't be right i can't i'll have to find it dig it out because i know i'll be able to find it but there are a few things i do like pippa just said that i will sometimes just see a little p underscore wicks 01 and be like I can't like it's I mean my algorithm is mostly Rottweilers clothes watches just dogs in general a lot of grooming dog grooming videos I always like to see the transformations of the dogs so there's a lot of grooming and some people really go into town on the old dog grooming TikToks I really enjoy it.
5:39It's just always interesting to see. Yeah, mostly, yeah, it's a lot of dogs. A lot of singing. I mean, look, there's a good grooming one there. Just cleaning out the ears of a Yorkshire Terrier. Do you know what I'm gathering from this? You're a little bit more online than sometimes people think. You know, because you're sat in a lot of cars or journeys. Well, you're just getting a hold, don't you? Keith is having a doom scroll. I love it. just some sort of puppies just correcting each other that's just growling really corrections it's just it's just i just really enjoy it yeah that's that's that's basically what i sit and do and then occasionally i'll get in um uh some deep and meaningful uh quotes i enjoy they've lessened recently the deep and meaningful quotes yeah i've seen a few of them that you've you've liked i quite like a deep and meaningful quote just you You don't repost them on your stories anymore, though.
6:36No, I haven't done that for a good few years. Because no one cares. My stories are mostly now just a picture of the dog when I'm walking. That's basically as far as my stories go these days. But yeah, that's pretty much my algorithm. What have you saved? Have you saved anything? I don't know how to do that, so I presume not. I've got a whole file. So what have you got then? My first one. There's a lot of men. we're gonna get as far as we can but where we keep it completely professional 18 years yeah that's a man teabagging another man and saying let's keep that completely professional what's your kind of algorithm saying then are you doing a lot of Jacob Elordi dress sense ones nah nah mine's just funny videos that I want to do with you like this one's fucking great we done that one yeah we've done that haven't we yeah Spiderman I just save a lot of funny videos I have but like thousands of videos saved I have cooking videos that I save I have little I have different folders in my save files I have like things for cooking videos I want to do with Louise videos I want to do with you videos I want to do with Tally like I've got like fucking cat videos that I have like I I feel like I learn a lot now through doom scrolling I've learned how to cook what's your favourite dish at the minute I learned how to make a bone broth um oh what the fuck is it called bone broth uh noodle soup thing really really nice yeah nice and also a little ramen bowl type thing Sort of, yeah.
8:01And then I've also learned how to make boccheronis from anchovies. Yeah, yeah, that's great. That's just white wine, vinegar, and you let it stay for like two hours, and then you put like garlic in it. It's delicious. So, Phoebe, what I think you've learned there is that we are fucking dull. Yeah, we are chronically online is what we are. We are dull. Right, Sam and Pete, I always wonder what we've done in our past lives. Which life do you most want to experience at the below? being a teen actor, a fashion student in Paris, an American teenage high schooler or attending boarding school in Switzerland.
8:39I mean, out of all the things that we could have done in a past life, none of them particularly appeal to me, I'm going to be honest with you. I would have to go fashion student in Paris. What? Yeah. Out of all of them? Paris, the hub of fashion. I've also not really spent a lot of time in Paris, so I don't really know. Boarding school in Switzerland, no. Teenage high schooler, not interested in glee. Teen actor, like, I feel like they all have lots of troubles as they get older. So I think that's a definite no. Good answers, actually. I've garnered my own troubles over the years without acting as a teenager.
9:13So that's definitely out. The high schooler, just no. I mean, I didn't make it through high school here, so it's unlikely I'll do it in America. Wouldn't want to be a jock? Would I want to be a... A jock? A jock? Like a jock? Jock, man. Jock. Quarterback? A quadraba. Quarterback. Sorry. Pete wouldn't be a jock. He so would be a jock. No, he wouldn't. Pete would be the guy John Travolta. John Travolta from Greece. He'd be like the car guy. So you've got the jocks. I don't know what they're called, though. What are they called? Are they called Greece? What? What the fuck are they called? What is John Travolta?
9:55you know you have different groups in high school right so you got the jocks and then i can't remember i don't think they really have them like that i know i know what you mean like the leather jackets they are they're called greases yeah maybe yeah and then you got and then you got like the punk the punks and stuff you'd be a greaser you're even wearing the leather jacket now i i mean the i don't think the cream jeans um yeah but yeah listen I don't know what I wouldn't be a jock I wouldn't be I don't know but I just who wants to go back to school I'd love to if I had it my way well you've done you've done the last one so if you're attending boarding school in Switzerland more than likely you are the son or daughter of a billionaire so kind of nice that you know you've got to factor that guaranteed to be a prick yeah probably but you know you got all that money so whatever right you just go and do whatever you want quite fun to have daddies at black amex i imagine um so with the you know with that being said quite fun uh america teenager and high school for me i would love what love category do you think you would be in football soccer so i wouldn't be a jock i'd be like a half jock because jocks as piff said it's more so i'm american football quarterback but i'd be a football player who are the cool ones in school More so the quarterbacks.
11:15You've got the jocks, the nerds or geeks, the popular and mean girls, the theatre kids, the rebels slash stoners or the preppy kids. So rebel and you kind of fall into... Prep. I reckon you're preppy. Preppy slash sports. I don't think... No, I don't think you're a jock. He's really shoehorning in. And sports. Mate, those Americans, they play American football. Soccer's not that big a deal in America. I'd play it. Yeah. All right. I'd be a badminton player. The jocks are like them kind of stereotypical, we're in baseball doing all that sort of stuff. I don't think you'd necessarily... They're all huge and muscular and all that sort of stuff.
11:54I don't necessarily think you'd fit in there. Preppy and run club. Sort of track. I think I'd be a preppy jock. All right. I think I'd be. Track. A prock. A preppy jock. Quite close to a preppy jock. But I have this idea of like a Texas high school. something like that where like you know you've got loads of playing fields and like the bell rings and everyone's like alright guys it's gonna go is that not quite fun that sounds quite fun to me I just not no I don't know just to me that sounds alright fashion student in Paris not for me I just imagine about Paris and like living in Paris and like that'd be fucking fashion student you're gonna be cool you're gonna be going cool fucking places you know what I mean you're just sat outside cafes having coffee in the mornings and smoking cigarettes and then designing, I don't know, pantalons.
12:47Okay. And then the evenings you're going like have a dinner and like fucking wine. I'd love that. But ideally in a past life, what I'd like to be is a distinguished Italian gentleman who wears a suit every day and has an espresso on his own because his wife's died. That is, whenever I go to like Italy and you see that, I always think it's like a Tuesday morning and there's this guy in this fucking immaculate suit with an immaculate beard, immaculate hair. And he's just sitting on a fucking espresso. and he looks cool as fuck. That is what I want to be. And he's always on his own. Turned into Mr Ripley.
13:16He's having a cigar and he's just fucking chilled. That's what, that's my, that's what I want to be when I grow up. You do have to factor in though. I'm not far off that age. True. And also, if we were going to say a fascist student in Paris, barring you doing it, most of them would probably be wankers as well. Oh, there is not, there is not a thing on here that doesn't say wanker. Doesn't scream on the cunt. they all say wanker in different ways. I mean, the boarding school in Switzerland just wanker because you've done nothing with your life you're living off your parents teenage high school wanker because you're trying to fit in and the festers of course you think you're far cooler than you actually are and teen actor you know it's downhill from there yeah teen actor I don't think I've ever seen a teen actor who sort of like ends up actually then doing big things either and so I feel like you're right I feel like if you're a teen actor you go down the sort of down the drain I'm obviously thinking about Corkley McCorkley Culkin yeah I mean he's a household name You've got Miley Cyrus, Lindsay Lohan.
14:13Lindsay Lohan's not, Lindsay Lohan had a terrible time. The child actor, I would like if I had the right team around me, but I would worry I'd be a one and done. Yeah. But then again, I don't think Daniel Radcliffe cares because he's got tens of millions of pounds in the bank. Well, so then maybe that's, that's the way forward then. Or Harry Potter. If you could throw me into Harry Potter, mate, as like, as Harry or Ron, that would be my dream. That would be my dream. Who out of the Harry Potters do you think you're most like? Well, I can't be wrong because I'm not ginger.
14:49Right. So we just got on looks? Yeah. Right. Could be Harry. I don't know if you're honest with me. You're not tall enough probably. Probably not tall enough. Well, I think you're taller than most 12-year-old boys. Could maybe be Draco. Draco. Yeah. Wouldn't mind being Draco. Yeah, he's my favourite. I like Draco. What the fuck's Draco? Draco Malfoy Tom Felton Nice guy The character The person The actor Okay good Well Hannah There you go I'm a student in Paris And Sam What did you decide on? High school Sam's a jock In American high school Cool Question time Question time would you rather be always be hot or always be cold i am already always hot same i'd like to be cold i'd yeah it's actually yeah because you can warm up it's harder to cool down than it is to warm up yeah mate but you know what as well there is nothing better or than just being in bed and wrapping a duvet around you and then like if you're freezing cold and like getting warm That's such a lovely feeling.
16:07I'd much rather be freezing cold than get warm. Yeah, being hot is a struggle to cool down. Yeah. To regulate is fucking difficult, isn't it? I mean, listen, it's fucking hot this week. Yeah, I'm permanently hot. It is fucking hot. And Romesh Ranganathan said it. You know, it's too hot. It's too hot. It is too hot. And then people go, oh, yeah, we wouldn't like it if it was cold. But it's true what you said. I would moan then as well. It's too cold. It's okay. Do you know what I mean? Yeah. I can be too hot and I'm currently too hot. It's too fucking hot. All I keep saying to everyone, people keep going, how are you?
16:40Keep going, it's fucking hot, innit? The weather is literally on the tip of my tongue every single time. Every single time. I've had so many ice creams. If you're on Mars ice cream, you hate to see me coming. Yeah. You do? Yeah. I quite like the cookies and cream, Mars. Oh, that's something I love. I don't know if it exists. No, it's not. The cookies and cream ice cream is fucking amazing. Listen. In a sandwich. if there is an unusual flavor as you know I like it you want to see my fucking freezer at the minute Christ I'm sweating so much every time it opens it goes it's like the fucking ice cream van's arrived lovely I've been making ice creams for the dogs as well well like ice pops yeah I've got a question for you like if you whenever you've been in a relationship have you always found that you're the hot one and then the other one's the cold one I've always been the hot one but then the other person no they're normally always better looking than me the other person's always been cold um yeah actually always I don't know whether it's a guy thing but I am permanently hot and and Tally is like to the point of she's got a hot water bottle in like this weather it's mad I can never understand how you can like be cold when it's boiling outside well it's a good thing because then you must be like lying next to a radiator with you honestly it is a walking hot water bottle if you had that conversation I'm sweating so much right now.
18:05Right at this precise moment. This very moment. I don't know how you're wearing a leather jacket. Terrifies me. I might even have to put this into shorts. For those listening, Sam has rolled his suit trousers up. Oh, that's nice. And he's now airing his legs. Oh, that's nice. I would do this in my bockies if you let me, but I don't think you will. I don't know what that means. My boxes. Well, if you want to do it in your boxes, do it in your boxes, mate. Go for it. I won't do my boxes, but I'll just open up a little bit. Yeah. Oh, that's nice. Oh, that's good. There you go. That's real tasty. The award-winning podcast.
18:42Oh, yeah. Get some air in there. Feeling better? So much. Take it all off and do it in boxes if you like. No, why not? That'll do. If you're going to do it, do it properly. Come on, we all want to see it. Tease me. Tease me. Tease me. Come on, top off. No, I can't. I'm not feeling very good at myself right now. I'm in the gym a while. No, well, yeah, it's a shame because you look great currently. This is me at Pinnacle Thompson. Just, oh, yeah. Do you know what I used to do in the pool all the time?
19:22Early detection can change everything, but early stage colon cancer often shows no symptoms at all. That's why screening matters how I'm getting symptoms. If you are 45 or older and at average risk, it's time to screen for colon cancer. Colorware Plus. Make it simple.

21:08I used to do this all the time when I used to go on holiday with like an ex-girlfriend or whoever. I used to, and this is like most girlfriends I've had. I would literally like, yeah, I would literally like get in the... What are you trying to say? I had to be seen this. I'd get in the pool and I'd take my trunks off. I'm making sure there's no kids in the pool, obviously. And I would then do like a somersault in the water. I'd be like, whoever it is, like, Div, watch this. And I'd do a somersault in the pool and she wouldn't know that I'd take my things off. And it'd just be bum-cracking bollocks coming out of the bucket.
21:48Where were you and Tally going on holiday this year? Trying to get away the next couple of weeks. She hasn't seen that yet. She hasn't seen that side to me. And I've done it with every girlfriend I've had. So we'll see how that goes. I would suggest not shouting Tiff this time, though. It's just a word of warning. Yeah, also I can hold my breath on the water for ages. Oh, like how long? Well, I make people time me. Yeah. Yeah. How long can you do? I've done like two and a half minutes before. That is good. Yeah, that is good. That is good. That was when I was at my peak, though. Yeah. Yeah. Gone downhill since then.
22:23Yeah, mate, we have fun. When we go on holiday, we have fun. Honestly, you and Tal haven't been on holiday yet, but I bet she can't wait to see your arse crack. I bet she can't wait to get the stopwatch out. Honestly, nothing says romance like, time me holding my breath, babe. They have to stand by the pool as well with their thing. Are they not even lad in the pool? Do you know what's crazy? We rent a car. Sorry. that sounded that is that is fucking mad like so when you go away like you get a car and then and then what and then we get in the car and we hold our breath and I get that's not what I'm saying it's crazy but I'm just saying that is literally what you just said is crazy but imagine like us just driving in a rented car who me and Tally yeah well you just don't trust me driving so imagine like us just sort of like driving about town
23:23Everyone take a minute to imagine it Josh on a scale of 1 to 10 How crazy? I mean it's almost out of this world Yeah Pippa Can you imagine it? 4 Just 4 for crazy Yeah What do you get up to on your holidays That's so fucking mad then We actually never rent a car Because I'm too scared to drive on the other side No but you time each other holding your breath? I bet he's done it Maybe like 5 years ago Yeah, yeah, yeah. See? Yeah. Oh, well. I'll bring it back, shall I? I guarantee you he'll try and do it. If you go, oh, Sam got two and a half weeks. We sometimes race. Or in the pool. Yeah, and like down the corridor.
24:04Sorry? Because hotels have those long old corridors. So you just run? Yeah. Get out the lift, first to the room. Go. I rate that. You're not going to hear anything weird from me there because I'm actually, I'm with you. I think we've heard enough weird from you. I'm yet to win, but going on next week, actually. It's time to work towards, isn't it, babe? Yeah, yeah. Oh, well, it's safe to say that Sam and Milliman will never be having a holiday together. My God. It'd be so fun. Keira would be timing me. I feel like me and you'd be in the pool. No, she wouldn't. She'd be standing there on the stopwatch, remember?
24:45She's not allowed in. When you're on timing duty, you can't get the stopwatch wet. Josh, what are we going to be doing? We'll be in the car park racing. What does your dream stag do, Peter? If you could pick anywhere in the world. Dream stag. I mean, it's really cliche. It doesn't matter. Vegas, obviously. Actually, no. Do you know what? I wouldn't do Vegas for the stag because I'd do Vegas for the wedding. Shotgun wedding? Yeah. If I was going to get married, that's what I'd do. I'd go and do a Vegas wedding and that's that. So for the stag, my dream stag would be motorbikes across America. So if I was getting married in Vegas, I'd do everyone rent the bikes and we'd do a road trip on the bikes on the stag to where we're going over a period of, let's say, let's say you only really do a couple of days worth of riding.
25:52So yeah, maybe over like sort of a week kind of riding across, going to like little kind of, yeah, that's what I'd do. That'd be fucking great. That would be what I'd do. Yeah, I better get my license. No, no, no. Well, you could go on a moped. We'll see you at each town. Because I wouldn't want to sit in a sidecar for the whole stag. Like that's fucking, there's nothing more bum out than like everyone else is fucking riding their Harleys and then like your pals just in the fucking sidecar just like sat there with the bugs in his eyes just flying in. We did it in Colorado. You enjoyed your time in the sidecar there.
26:27Yeah, but that was for like an hour. This is across America, right? Let's saddle up again. Sorry, I'm not going all the way across America. I just mean like you do a couple of states, but you're like you're stopping like, I'd like to go like New Orleans and like fucking places like that. But it'd be, obviously America's so big, you can go across America in a week on a bike. But I would, yeah, that's probably what I'd do. Pinpoint some little bits along the way. Yeah, I like that. Go across some towns and then maybe have a couple of days at the end of it to chill, then fly to Vegas. Yeah, that's a bit at night.
26:59You know what I mean? And then do the wedding in Vegas. Well, yeah. And then fly back and tell everyone you met. I wouldn't tell anyone. Obviously, apart from, the stage is just me. Yeah, driving yourself there, really. I'd just get myself there along the way. no you just like a small group i wouldn't want like a big there's lots of stag do's that you see stag do season in it a lot of people off to ib from vegas and doing all that sort of stuff but yeah that's what i'd do yeah i think that's very you very pete wicks coded that to be fair i'm more basic than you are i'm more basic i would i mean i'm honestly golf some fucking paddle like that i know i know i get it i'm a basic boy but i genuinely would love just to fucking so your dream stag do is what you do at the weekend just my best mates all free around like no one's got any worries or anything like that because we've obviously got most of my mates now have kids and stuff so like all of us together um but yeah that for me would be amazing and i understand it's not it's not racing by us across america i get that but it's just me and my friends you know like I've spent like 10 plus years with some of them so like all of them with no attachments no like kids to get home to or anything like that and just like four days five days of just like golf beers and just like good food and laughs like that for me is more than enough I would love that as boring as that is because I know that is kind of boring um well there you go dream stakeholders yeah neither of them sound particularly dreamy yeah I feel like there's probably better ones that can be done i can't yeah i can't do anything i'd rather do than that i mean i'm a basic bitch doing something you'd never done before your mates would be quite cool i think do you know i mean like we've both done quite a lot of things like going somewhere fucking wild i can't really think of anywhere i've never really thought about having a stag do because marriage oh my god wyoming because you know i want to go yeah that on a stag would be cool on a ranch with the boys.
28:59Yeah? What would you do? Like be in like ranch hands? Yeah, yeah. I'd just ride. Let's ride. No, you'd be riding every day? Yeah, every day. You and the lads? I'm in the boys. On the bikes? Oh, on the horses, sorry. So cool. Yeah. Yeah. Fishing in the evening. Oh. So you'd like an outdoor experience? Yeah, that'd be fun. So we've gone from paddle to ranch hounds. Hounds? Ranch hounds. Yeah, I don't know. Maybe I got asked on the spot just then, actually. But yeah, maybe that would be quite nice.
29:34Thoughts on liking Instagram stories? Does that mean a boy wants to marry me? Oh. Get a grip. Oh. I feel like you should take this one away. Well, I just... Yes. If I'm honest. Yeah. I genuinely do believe. Mm-hmm. No, I do. I think that if you only like someone's story, if it's a boy or a girl, I imagine that's what they're saying, right? So she's a girl or a boy. It doesn't matter what your sexual preference is, to be fair. But like whatever your fancy, whoever that person is that fancies you, who if they, if they're liking a thing, there's only a reason, there's only one reason.
30:14Well, that story is a kind of irrelevant on a grid post, maybe different. I think stories are more intimate. Dude, if you're liking a story, it's like, stories are more sly, aren't they? Yeah, way more sly man if you're not so much intimate and not so much they want to marry you probably just want to fuck you no but I think I think what they're doing is they're trying to get your attention on a more personal level because if you're liking a story it's a lot more like I'm liking you rather than like everyone just likes a photo right like her friends her family everyone but like you're literally sitting there being like maybe I'm not explaining this right but I feel like liking a story is a lot more personable and a lot more like has a lot more weight behind it personally that's what I think well girls what do we think I think the opposite but in what way in what you think it's like just a shack well yeah absolutely there's absolutely there's absolutely I like loads of stories so maybe I should rethink yeah I think there's well I'm well you're just privately sort of like just giving a fucking nudge there really aren't you do you think well that's personally how I certainly wouldn't think oh someone's like my story privately so no one knows they want to marry me.
31:24Yeah, I don't know about marriage. I don't know about marriage. Like, how are you going to know that someone's - Okay, but if I was single and they had loads of - loads, some single guys liking my story that I didn't really know, then yes, I'd be like, oh. Exactly. He likes what he sees. I would think that's more like, hey, notice me than liking a post. Keira, you're nodding. Yeah, but it's not giving relationship vibe. It's certainly not giving - I don't think many Instagram sort of like - But DM's not like, I want to marry you either. Like, none of them are marriage material. So we all agree then the boy doesn't want to marry her?
32:01No. I think he's expressing interest. In marriage? It could lead there. Yeah. I think he's absolutely expressing interest for sure. I think if you like a story, you actually want to date them. Yeah. Fuck, Pimper's literally changed her face big toe. Who's liked your story recently? No, no, I'm just, I like so many. Do you like single guy stories? No, I like your guys' stories. With mates. I'm talking about people who don't know. But I go through dishing out likes like there's no tomorrow. Am I being a bit frivolous? You're getting real shiny suddenly. Now I think I'm expressing loads of interest to loads of people.
32:42Well, why don't we ask the social media expert? Yes, the chuckles. I think that it does show that you like them or you want to, you know, go on a date. More so than a grid post like? Yeah, 100%. Why? Because not many people dish out likes. Well, apart from Pippa. Not many people dish out likes on stories. Yeah, I don't think they do. Like, I dish them out to my mates, but if I dished it out to a guy, it would be like... But you would like his grid posts? But I'd like his grid posts, yeah. But if you liked his story... But if I liked his story, it's like, whoa, okay. I'm here. Yeah, I landed. and the hawk has landed and she's ready to fucking peck.
33:24All right. Nice. Okay. Well, lots of thoughts there on that and I think we've been overruled on that one. I used to like loads of Tally's stories. That was how I was like, I'm interested, I'm interested, I'm interested. Why would you not just message her? That's what I do. I DM'd her and... And you like, like, like, DM, DM. I put some elements on both, yeah. I came at her from all angles. Lovely. Well, there you go then.
