Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are.

And welcome to the politics guys with your hosts, Dave Carson and Good morning. Good afternoon. Good evening, wherever you are.

And welcome to the politics guys with your host, Jay Carson and Michael Baranowski.

Welcome to the politics guys. I'm Michael Baranowski, a political scientist at Northern Kentucky University.

My co-host this week, as always, is Cleveland Area Attorney and sometime Republican strategist, Jay Carson.

Last week, we had our first sponsor on the show, Can't Quit Food.com.

Now, this week, we're sponsorless, but we are looking for new sponsors.

We're approaching this thing very cautiously, and we can promise you that we'll never sponsor anything we haven't used ourselves and personally believe in. So we won't be shielding

for stamps.com or audible or the great courses, which they might all be wonderful for all I know,

but, you know, that's the thing we don't know. So if you work for a great company or you have a

product or service that you'd like to tell thousands of Politics Guys listeners about, send us an email

at Politicsguise at gmail.com, and we'll talk. We can't promise that we'll take on everyone who

asks, because again, we're only going to promote stuff we've tried ourselves and feel really good

about. But we'd love to hear from you.
