The Hello, welcome to Carcast. I'm Matt the Motorator De Andrea here with Bill Goldberg. How are you?

I already have a breeze on my hands this morning so I'm doing wonderful.

You know you guys are you're a couple hours ahead so I know you get you get an early start over there on the garage and then take a little break, do the

podcast, get back at it.

Yeah, I finally had my bike delivered from Danny, counts customs this morning.

It only sat in Oklahoma City for two and a half months.

So, yeah, it was an interesting start

in my morning, pushing my a half mile from the front to the garage.

With a dead battery and no air in the front tire. But yeah, it's a normal day here in Texas.

Welcome our guest, Mike's Bagnola. Mike is the is the president CEO of

Sima. You guys have seen him before. He's been on the show show before we just wanted to catch up with Mike now that the dust is settled a little bit after

Sima and actually I just came back from the MPMC event where we talked on on a previous shows as well.

An event that I realized that I've been going to for about 17 years.

So it's been going for a long time.

I've kind of reduced my commitment to one day instead of three days because I I know a lot of the

companies that we meet with and I don't want to take up everybody's meeting time and I

want to let some of the new people go in there but I still want to get some

face time with especially some of the companies that aren't necessarily out here on on the West Coast that we don't get to visit.

But it's good to do that event. Mike, welcome.

That's a great event. a great event.

Thank you.

Thank you. And Bill, I'm jealous.
