Well, all right again, welcome back to the Gatowski File, starring our very own Stephen Gatowski. He is the founder, owner, and editor-in-chief over at the reload.com. That's the reload.com. The one podcast between the two of us where you don't have to almost die in order to be on the podcast because he allows his paid members to come on and have a chat with him, which is always fun.
