Hey folks, welcome to the Dark Horse podcast Inside Rail.

I have the distinct honor of sitting this morning with Senator Ron Johnson here in studio,

which is the result of a strange and serendipitous meeting.

We were literally hiking down the trail, Heather, Toby, and myself, and who should come the other direction, but Ron Johnson and his wife.

disagree on whether or not there's a creator, I think we

would reach consensus on the fact that he works in some very mysterious ways.

We'll agree on that.

We're not going to have a Tucker Brett discussion here, I don't think.

metaphorical, but very important and that they stand in for things that we can't quite

describe.

And lots of folks, probably you feel that they're more literal, but I don't see a huge difference between those things. So anyway, there's nothing to disagree about. It's a big mystery to me. That's all I can say. Well, I think it is to all of us. Our first sponsor for this episode of the Inside Rail is Fresh Pressed Olive Oil Club. We love these guys and their olive oils so much.
