And the Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Hello friends Greg Kockel, your host here on Stand to Reason, and thank you for, of course, being part of our show.

I say that every show, but I genuinely mean it.

I'm glad that you're listening.

I get reports from people all over the country where I get to

travel and give talks and they come up to me and I'm just amazed sometime I just

last weekend someone said I've been listening for 15 years and well that's

great you've been listening longer than my daughters have been listening to me

I tell you that that's good I'm I'm flattered and I trust it's because that we're giving you something valuable at

STR. And I want to go right to a series of questions right now.

These are questions that we call them open mic questions.

And if you are not able to call in,

if you'd like to leave a question for me, but you're not really able to call in very easily,

waiting in line and all that that entails.

We get that.

The live show is between 4 and 6 p.m. on Tuesday nights,

Pacific time. So if you can call in that time and wait in the queue, that's great, all right,

but some can't do that. so we give an option of an

open mic call in other words you go to our website at sTR dot org you look under

podcast and live broadcast and there gives you an opportunity to submit an open mic question.

And then you just follow the prompts, push the button and then tell me your question.

Try to keep it like a minute or a minute and a half at the most.

And then I'll be able to respond. So you get to communicate live with me if you will kind of, but I don't, we don't maintain an exchange, obviously, but I can then respond to your question and you can listen to it later when you listen to the show.
