What's up everybody and welcome to episode 194 on the Talking Chop podcast. I am your host,

Brad Rowland. It is Monday evening and not a normal situation in terms of recording on a Monday

be most of today's podcast.

So joining me to talk about all of it is Scott Coleman.

So we have plenty of talk about, which is not always the case in the first week of November.

So it should be fun.

Yeah, it's going to be interesting.

Go check it out.

It was a fun episode.

And we still have two more to do between the started pitching and the lineup itself, basically, in terms of actually reviewing.
