Well, hey there, guys. Greetings and salutations and welcome to this installment of open mic,

the show where the mic is open. The floor is yours. What do you guys want to talk about?

That's what we're here to discuss today. I'm, of course, your host, John Campia. Good to have you guys here.

And just a reminder on open mic, if you want to have a topic or a question submitted here,

you use the super chat feature in the live chat. Now, that means you have to be watching live

as this show is live to submitted question. Otherwise, you can't, unfortunately. But we do welcome

you here,

even if you're watching this a little bit later in the day. Good to see everybody in the

live chat already. And it's good to be here. I've had a great weekend already. You know,

Anne and I had a rough week. We lost one of our dogs. And we lost our one doxon a couple months

back. That was pretty hard because anne had that

dachshund for like 17 years and then we just lost the other dachshund we had who we had for 15 16 years

just a few days ago so we were able to spend a really good weekend together and kind of deal

with all that so anyway guys good to have you here. Thanks for joining me here today.

And we are here to take your questions. And that is what we are going to do. But before we do, before we get to the questions, I, as always with open mic, I usually kick it off with the topic.

And you know, I went on to our post tab, onto our community tab on YouTube.

And I asked our subscribers, I said, hey, you know, I'm doing open mic a little bit later.

What would you like the opening topic to be?

And a couple of people threw in some topics that we're clearly going to discuss on the John

Campia show tomorrow,

but somebody wrote in something said,

considering they both basically go for the same audience,
