The Economist.
Hello hello.
Hello.
Hey.
That was like the most douche cut to I've ever seen.
You came on screen.
You were reclined texting with a bottle of champagne in the foreground.
It's not champagne.
It's Prosecco.
That's unfortunate for us.
There will never be any champagne on Money Talks, I think,
unless one of us launches a cryptocurrency or something like that,
some way of bringing in a bit of revenue for the show.
Did everyone come armed with drinks?
I sure did, but I feel like it's insufficiently festive.
I just have a Corona, nothing too seasonal.
Unfortunately, I've gone for something a bit less exciting and I've made myself a latte,
which actually is festive because the espresso machine is my Christmas present.
It is a lot earlier in the US. I will give you that.
Okay, I'm going to get this open if I can.
