Hello everybody, welcome back to another episode of Broken Record. My name is Ellie, I'm your host and that was just Benny and the Jets by Elton John and it is a great song in its own right but we are playing it for a very specific reason and that is because we have a guest this episode and that guest is my father, Mr. Ryan Sadler. Hi dad.
