0:08.2 | Who knows you're listening to Motley Full Money. |
0:25.1 | I'm Ricky Mulvey. Sorting through this madness with me today is Jason Moser. Jason, thanks for being here. |
0:30.0 | Ricky, always a pleasure, my man. How are you? Oh, I'm doing pretty well. You know who's not doing pretty well of these auto manufacturers? It's been a tough day for him, Jason. Oh, yeah. Yes. |
0:36.1 | At the time of this recording, which I want to preface, is it about 150 p.m. Eastern, 11.50 a.m. Mountain time because we never get a shout out. |
