| 0:12.1 | Frequent Miller on the air starts now. |
| 0:19.6 | Today's main event, raising points while raising children. |
| 0:24.1 | Having children isn't all bad. |
| 0:26.7 | Not all, not all. |
| 0:28.4 | Just those first few sleepless nights, but there's some good parts, too. |
| 0:31.8 | As you showed this week, you could get some good points out of it. |
| 0:35.1 | So, yeah, it's not all bad. |
| 0:39.4 | Before we jump into that, |
| 0:44.8 | of course, giant mailbag time. Let's find out. What is it? What do the people have to say this week, Greg? All right. This week's feedback is not really feedback. It's from me. |
| 0:50.7 | From you? We got mail from me. Can you believe I went through all the trouble of mailing in my |
| 0:55.5 | feedback? It's ridiculous. And we're happy you do. But I have all, I have all this like free, |
| 1:00.4 | all these free stamps I've been getting thanks to the MX platinum business platinum $20 a month |

| 1:18.4 | this last week or the end of September and we pulled in to to stop somewhere and there was a post |
| 1:24.5 | office and my wife was going in so I said hey you know buy like |
| 1:28.5 | $20 in stamps because it was the last day of September I said like buy like $20 and stamps or if you see |
| 1:32.9 | something else that makes sense by that and in my mind I was thinking gift cards or something else that |
| 1:38.4 | makes sense but I didn't actually say those words out loud so she came back with stamps and she's like |
| 1:43.2 | you know they had Amazon gift cards and visa gift cards and stuff, but I wasn't sure if I should buy, if those things would work. And I was like, those were the other things that might make sense. So anyway, we have more stamps now. So you got stamps too. We've all got stamps because of the platinum credits. Yes. So mail it in. We don't know what to do with all these stamps. Right. |
