Hello and welcome to group chat.

I am Justin Verrier, joining me, Rob Mahoney.

And for the first official time, Jay Kyle, man.

What's up, Kyle?

Not too terribly much, just, you know, adjusting to the winter weather hit me as soon as I got off the plane back to Kentucky. But I'm down for it. I like this kind of thing. So I'm good with putting on a sweatshirt and cuddling up and watching some NBA action. You are a bill different. I do like to think of you that way. But Justin, you've been out of the Northeast for so long. Can you even handle the cold? Can you deal with the Kyle and Byrins? What do you think I'm dealing with out here? It's like, it's dark and rainy, like 20 hours a day up in Portland. That's different. That's not quite the same thing. I got coffee. I'm just like huddled under a blanket,

maybe a nice little wine when it's the night hits and I'm watching NBA basketball all the

goddamn time now because that's where we are in the NBA season. I have to say, I think this might be

my favorite part of the calendar. Like the finals, obviously huge, going into the playoffs, a lot of excitement.

But now there's just like so much stuff to like figure out here. I feel like I'm opening up

presence, but instead of, you know, like a video game, it's just Mamu Shkelisvili minutes, you know?

He looked unusually spry, I will say. We did. You know know we've seen mamu really pop off against some teams

in the past i didn't think he was quite that fast never seen him move quite that fast before so

revelations for us all to start this season the old mamu pop off yep momu takes two minutes into

this podcast what a new era this truly is. But we'll get to that a little bit

later in the show. Ready to launch your business? Get started with the commerce platform made for
