Hey everyone, it is Tuesday, October 27th, 2009, and you're listening to the shout-out

podcast. I'm your host Ryan Davis joined as always by Vinny Caravilla, Jeff Gerstman, and Brad

Schumacher, gentlemen. Hi. How you doing? Brad, how was your turkey sandwich? Did you

finish that turkey sandwich? I just, I might say I scarfed half a turkey sandwich. I would
