Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Weekender edition of the Munk Creek podcast. I'm Jared J.R. J.

Sexton. I'm drinking carbonated water, Nick. I'm not drinking a beer because right now, I think if I

0:14.5

started like 2.30 in the afternoon, I think I would be done. I'm here with Nick Houseman. Nick, how we doing, bud?

0:22.5

We're good. I match your carbonated beverage. Little water is always a great way to start the
