You're going to see. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh. Hello friends Greg Kockel here the show is stand a reason and I'm kind of pumped right now we just had

0:34.7

about three hours with some wonderful people from Norway who we we had a team from

0:41.9

Norway sponsored by the same folk that came out last year and I don't know they're

0:47.9

spending a couple weeks here in the states and they came by Christians who are

0:56.3

committed to making a difference in their own country. We actually had some confusion where I was, I don't know why this happened many years ago when I was working at Hope Chapel.

Patrick Mahomes. This is his third Super Bowl ring. He's only what 28 years old and he's got a long history ahead of him and maybe he's going to beat Brady

2:12.4

But he's just kind of fun to watch but I will say this

2:15.5

and Brock Purdy did a great job I think the only time maybe I'm not correct I think there was a part of the game where the chiefs were ahead,

2:27.0

three points or something. I don't know, but it was tight and the first three quarters were boring, I think, because nothing was happening.
