This is an IHeart podcast.

Welcome back to a numbers game with Ryan Gurdowski.

Thank you all for being here yet again.

I want to start off the show with a couple announcements.

First, our release time has changed.

If you didn't know, our Monday podcast episodes are coming out at 5 p.m. instead of the morning

release. It was a decision by management to change the release times to try to broaden the

listenership and I hope you will stay with the show and listen at our new time or listen the next

morning when you're on your way to work or school or wherever you're listening.

I'm going to continue to bring you useful information and hope you can sit there and join us along. Secondly, I'm at the beginning stages of setting up a video podcast for a

YouTube channel. It will be out sometime this fall, I believe. So I've gotten a lot of requests

asking for a full video podcast

because some of you want to watch me. I'm not exactly sure why, but you will be able to see it

sometime this fall and we're going to go along. And I'm very, very exciting for that. I'm going to

tee that up when it actually happens. Lastly, I brought this up a while ago. I don't know

who remembers and who doesn't, but I'm going to do a special episode for the 9-11 anniversary on 9-11. It will become on 9-11 is a Thursday this year. My podcast is released on Thursday. So I want to bring on my family members who worked in the World Trade Center.

My lifelong New Yorker born and raised, and my mom, I've talked to this before, she worked on the 97th floor of Tower 1 from Marshall McLennan.

My uncle was a window washer.

I had a lot of people who were family members.

They worked as cops.

And through an act of luck and God's grace and everything. No, everyone survived.

Like it was a truly miracle for me people I had in my life that were down there. They all lived.
