Doing well.
Lots to get into.
Also happy to have on Cian Tracy, who's actually joined us.
I did the stats earlier after all five of Leinster's Champions Cup defeats, as well as their one victory in the tenure of the podcast.
So Cian is our Champions Cup final guy.
So I'd like to have him back with us.
Cian, how are things?
Yeah, not too many positives.
Before we kick off, the left wing is sponsored by Energia.

So, guys, yeah, Bordeaux 41, Leinster 19, the second-heaviest Champions Cup final defeat ever, only surpassed by Leinster Ulster back in 2012, but the 35-7 score at halftime is a record for a halftime margin by some distance.
I think Leinster Northampton is the second-biggest halftime margin, and that was, what, 16 points?
So, 28 points on Saturday.
Yeah, very chastening day for Leo Cullen's side.
A dreadful first half performance.
Tommy O'Brien scored that early try, but then scores from Maxime Lucu, Pablo Oberti.
Two from Bia Bia Ray and Yoram Mofana picking off a Harry Byrne pass gave them an unassailable lead.
