That is a great reference and something I think about most weeks.

For those tailenders that don't know, Mark Nicholas used to do, well, he is one of the all-time great cricket commentators and front people.

But he also did a thing, an advert, and he was interviewing Shane Warne and Michael Warne and kept saying, is it a procedure?

He kept saying, so tell us about the procedure.

And so he appeared like a vision out of nowhere and said, how's it going, boys?

He calls everyone boys, which is immediately just really exciting.

How's it going, boys?

And my dad was just sort of sitting there in a wheelchair feeling a little bit, you know, worse for wear.

Not like a boy.

Like a very, very old man.

Yeah.

But we had a really nice chat and he was like, well, I'll see you in the summer.

You know, just let me know if you want to come and see a game or get you into the, you know, box or whatever.

Because he's the chairman, isn't he now?

When we did the thing at Calgary Lecture, he was president and then gave him, wasn't the joke that he sort of made himself chairman?

Well, he didn't make himself chairman, but anyway, whatever it was.

But he was really, really sweet to my dad.

And they were talking because he has a heart thing.

And he was talking to my dad about heart, the old men talking about heart things, which I thought was funny.

But Big Al is back watching some cricket of some form.
