A note for our listeners in advance of listening: In this episode of this podcast we make a reference to a line delivered by Matthew Perry's Chandler character in the TV show Friends.

This podcast episode was recorded in advance before the tragic news of Matthew Perry's passing and the reference was made completely innocently inspired by the iconic show, it was made unconnected to the actor and unaware of the future outcome. On behalf of everyone at Pushy Pushy, we are deeply saddened by his loss and we send our condolences to his family, friends and fans. 

Thank you for your sensitivity and understanding on this matter and we hope you enjoy the show.
