Before we dive into today's episode, I just wanted to set up a few things.

Last week was our memorial to my late great co-host, Scott Wompler.

During that chat, I laid out my plans for the show going forward, but I know not everybody was ready

to take that emotional hit and maybe didn't hear about that.

So the quick version is when Scott passed, we had three Kingcast episodes in the bank.

Instead of Scott bombing you throughout the next couple of months, I figured I'd run all the ones we had ready to go, kind of back to back.

Starting with today's episode, when we run out of Scott episodes, I'll be joined by a guest co-host every week.

I already have the first guest co-host and a very cool special

guest for us to interview all lined up. The show won't be the same without Scott but there's still

some king shit left to cover. So with that said let's jump into our sponsors shall we? From Gretchen
