Hello, my friends.

0:30.4

Greg Kokel here, and the show is Stand a Reason, of course.

0:34.2

And I was just thinking about the last show where I was talking about the

0:39.3

interviews with Wes Huff, two of them, and maybe you've got a chance to look at that.

0:45.3

I was reminded by a caller that actually Tim and I, the week before, when I first learned about
