Hello, and welcome to CatoGance's Live. I am Psy Kelly, your host, delighted to be with

you on this Wednesday afternoon. Because it's just always great to get to be here, and

we're very grateful that you allow us to do this by listening and participating and calling,

and in some cases supporting us financially. We're always grateful for that, but I'm especially

grateful today, because it's flannel panel day. And flannel panel means I get to spend the

next two hours with two very fine gentlemen. First of all, Chris Check, president of CatoGance

was a low Chris Check. Psy, I was hoping that you were going to open with that quote from

our number one fan, who said these three remind me of six graders at two in the morning,

who've had too much mountain to do. That's going to be our new t-shirt, by the way. Join us for two

hours. Six graders with too much mountain dew. You never saw that quote, Dan? We do, we need a

sponsor to sit down. I used to drink mountain dew. I was never a mountain dew guy. Our other guests

for the flannel panel is Joe Hashmire. Hi, Joe Hashmire. Hey, I once drank a two liter of

mountain dew at six grades scout camp. So that that guy nailed me. Oh my gosh, that guy nailed you.

Right bullseye got me. It was like the one time I remember drinking mountain dew, and I was,

you know, I wanted to see if I could do the whole thing, and I was very proud of myself,

and I'm deeply ashamed enough. You want to hear my six grade story? I do, but I think I feel

like I should describe what the flannel panel does before we hear. This is exactly what we do,

unfortunately, this is what the flannel panel does, but I should describe what the flannel panel

aspires to do, which is discuss the news of the day from a Catholic perspective. We got a lot of,

we had news from all over the world, Ireland, Armenia, Rome, some from right here in the United

States. It's a big two hours, but first we're going to hear about what Chris did in the six grade.

I did not attend the six grade. What happened to you? I went from grade five to grade seven.
