| 0:07.1 | voyescape.com. Welcome to Frequent Myler on the air. I'm your host this week, Nick Reyes, |
| 0:16.8 | senior author at The Frequentmiler.com. Now, regular listeners will note a different voice here at the |
| 0:23.4 | beginning this week because you are used to hearing Greg the frequent miler kick off our podcasts. This |
| 0:30.5 | week, he is on vacation. And so we all know that when the cat's away, the mice will play. So this |
| 0:36.4 | week I've got a special guest here with me, |

| 1:34.7 | beginning. So ordinarily, Greg reads the piece of feedback and then gets my instant reaction. |
| 1:41.1 | So this week, my intention was to read the feedback and get Stevens' reaction. Unfortunately, |
| 1:46.1 | we lost that in the technical mishap. So we're going to be missing Stevens' reaction because I had |
| 1:52.1 | to re-record the beginning of the podcast here. However, I still wanted to read the piece of |
