Hey, it's Conrad Thompson and you're listening to grilling JR but the one and only Jim Ross Jim

What's going on man? How are you?

I am so good Conrad. I should be twins, but I'm not I'm fat enough to be a twin

But I am working on that

But I do good man a healthy blessed and with you today and all the folks out there listening

We appreciate them so much our shows killing it better than I ever anticipated
