Oh, John Malloy, good to catch up with you, Joe.

I don't know, Joe.

No, it's just a little bit...

Yeah, catch up, catch up with whoever I can along the way.

And then sometimes it might just be me sitting outside a coffee shop or I don't know, a detention center or whatever, you know, whatever the news story of the day demands.

But yeah, no, I'm traveling around quite a bit.

So yeah.

And I think, yeah, what, there's 16 tournament venues.

I might get to 12 of them potentially, which in this tournament requires a lot of travel.

So probably maybe a certain amount of here I am in a search place here.

But yeah, I'm very much in Canada.

This week, I'm in Toronto now.

I'm doing a bit of Canada stuff.

I actually caught up with our old mutual friend, Kevin Caban.

So I was at their TV station last night, TSM, where they're doing their sort of...

um they're doing their previews for the tournament you know they're sort of a panel Jason DeVos and and and Kevin Cabando and stuff and Stephen Caldwell I was at a different show with him and stuff so uh yeah just getting a bit of flavor behind the scenes so that's it yeah just uh so that everywhere you go try and catch up with the odd person along the way or just uh try and give a flavor of the place that you're in but it's a bit like I'm sure like you've alluded to it in your

intro like you know no one really knows what way that this competition is going to go and naturally like you might have an idea in your head now about what something you know what what the stories may be and then um you know they they don't become the stories and that is obviously something that that always happens okay very good so we get a visit from mark carney and we trade them one from dan mcdonald which seems about right for me that's pretty much uh that's pretty much what was agreed how is kevin colban enjoying canada

Yeah, good.

Yeah, no, he lives out in the countryside now, very much out in the countryside.

So I went out that way over the weekend and, you know, he's living on a sort of almost a house turned farm with some chickens and ducks and all sorts of things going on there.
