Welcome to what I promise you will be the shittiest podcast the ride you've ever heard.

I'm Scott Gardner and I'm sorry in advance, joined by Mike Carlson, who I assume is similarly

contrite.

Oh, yeah, I, I am contrite and I'm thinking about what you just said, and I guess that's true.

Well, let's see if the baby comes in on the mic. It'll be interesting to know because that'll be, that'll be baby's first podcast recording as well.
