Alright guys, today we've got part two of our interview with the great and wonderful

0:26.8

Taya Kyle. So guys, if you have not listened to the last episode, you want to make sure that

0:31.7

you go and do that because in this episode, we expand on a lot of the things that we talked

0:36.3

about in the last episode. She kind of has more time to get into some detail. She even told

0:41.4

some stories that she's never told before, which was incredible for me sitting here. I mean,
