Hey everybody welcome back to the ones ready podcast I mess it up as usual you've got Trent Aaron and I and then we have Dr. Preston Klein.

Appreciate you joining us, sir. And I promise I won't call you, sir, that was by accident.

That's what you have done the weirdest thing. You've done like three. I won't call you sir that was by accident. That was a habit.

You have done the weirdest thing.

You've done like three things that you've never,
