    ** pre-warning for some reason me(Long🙋🏻‍♂️) sounds ridiculously loud on this episode compared to Sui Kee and Mike! I would advise to turn your volume down from 11! I sound super shouty and I'm not even on drugs or intoxicated! I'm just way too excitable and high on life! Apologies for your eardrums 👂😅🙏🙏**
