Well, hey y'all, happy Monday. Welcome to the John Campia show coming to you live from our quaint little studio out in a dislocate, uh, an undisclosed location. I'm standing in for John just for the moment. My name is Chris Carr, but I am joined by Robert Meyer Burnett.

Come on, we're in Area 51. Everyone knows that. That's true. Jonathan Voico. Good morning,

everybody. And beaming in, we've got the man himself, John Campia.

You can see not in studio, and as many of you noticed, I wasn't in studio a couple of days last week.

Many of you know who follow me on social media that my mom, Mama Campia, passed away late last week.

My mom had been sick for quite a while, about three years now.

And Wednesday, my family got a hold of me and said,

you should probably get up here right now. And fortunately, I was able to get up here fast enough to

spend a great day with her on Thursday. We talked and she was great. And then as we expected Friday,

she passed away. I want to thank everybody, all you guys who have sent me.

I've been inundated with messages and kind words,

and I thank all of you still very much for all of them.

I'm doing good.

Like I said, I got to have a last wonderful day with my mom,

and we kind of saw it.

We knew this was coming, so we've had time

to prepare ourselves. But I thought about taking, you know, the week off, but my siblings reminded

me my mom loved this show. She loved that I did this show. Even from the hospital, she never missed a

single day of watching the John Campia show.

And I thought it'd be remiss if I didn't do it.

So I'm happy to be here.

And again, thank you to all of you guys for all of your well wishes and kind words.
