| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody Rob mower here. A little bit quieter of a day to day to day to close out the week, but we do still have a handful of topics to cover. |
| 0:13.2 | I want to start off with a couple housekeeping notes first though. |
| 0:16.1 | On Monday the market will be closed just a reminder for that for Memorial Day. |
| 0:19.6 | Currently I'm not planning on having an episode on Monday. |
