To the channel master with apologies to Frank O'Hara.

I wanted to reach you by Semaphore signal.

The airwaves are crammed and crrammed with too much noise.

So I'll wave to you these red flags.

The tide of demand is receding,

and the rivers of regulatory credits aren't enough

to cover the product sitting patiently on the channel floor,

waiting for evaporating buyers, waiting while screeching gulls circle overhead, hungry for beached minnows and stranded crabs.

Cool. Here, no this, this,

this podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

The hosts hold no licenses and are not financial advisors.

Do your own research before making investment decisions and we do hope you enjoy this

podcast.

All right, if X says all systems go and so we're ready. Vicky Brian and welcome to T.C.

Charcass.

So great that you could join us.

I'm so happy to be here.

Thank you.

Yes, I can tell from the preamble that we had together

that this is going to be a wonderful show.

I was joking with Georgia this morning
