All right, here you go. Welcome in DNVR Avalanche podcast. Jesse Montaño, Megan, Angley here on Friday. Normally, my days are all messed up, Megan. This is normally the Wednesday show is you and me.

No kidding. So I keep.

It feels like there's a few more days, but it's the weekend.

I know.

I keep back and remind myself it's Friday.

It's Friday.

Well, we talked about it with you guys earlier this week, having a special guest come on.

So very excited.

We're going to go ahead and bring in Katie Gause from Altitude Sports. Katie, it is very good to see you. I guess first question is, how is your summer going? Well, good to see you guys, too. I know we were joking about it before I came on, but it's like we spend every second together for the whole season.

And then from 100 miles an hour to zero.

I got to sneak down to Florida actually, which we'll be talking about in a second, for a little sunshine.

But yeah, three-ish seasons with the Florida Panthers. With the Florida Panthers. So obviously, you know, this has been a super exciting run for them. So we want to just talk to you a little bit about what, what it's been like for you, someone who, you know, was around the organization.
