Hey, everybody.

Welcome to a live edition of The Weekender with the Muckrake podcast.

Nick, I'm excited.

Be excited.

Do you wait, do I have permission to be excited?

Is that what that is?

It is.

I ordain any in all excitement. And I'm excited. You know what the problem is makes it seem like I'm not excited. Yeah, you need to you need to up the excitement. You know what? You know what it does? As soon as you crack that, that is it a beer? That's a beer. And then I kind of got upset because I'm like, I didn't bring anything. I don't have anything. Did you bring it? Did you bring some for the rest of us, I guess?

I didn't. I didn't. And now all of a sudden, you're, you're making me flashback to my elementary school years. That's, that's, that's, that's, that's not a good start to a live podcast. I'll just say that. Well, welcome, everybody.

Here we are.

We're doing a live taping of the McGreg podcast.

We were going to do our usual thing.

We had a couple of segments. We were going to do our usual

thing. We had a couple of segments that we were going to do, which we're still going to talk about

sort of around a little bit on these topics. But I got to tell you, the Muckrake community came

through with questions. And there are so many of them, and they are so good that we're

simply going to do a live question and answer episode now. So we have got what people have sent

so far. If you want to go ahead, there's an ask a question button on the live stream. For people

who are listening to the preview of this, you could be here. You could be hanging out with us on a Thursday night at the weekend or taping, which I think is one of my favorite things about this podcast, which we need to do more of these. It's been too long. But if you are in the chat, you can click ask a question. And if we have time when we get

through the plethora of questions we have, we'll try and get to those two. But I got to tell you,

I'm really excited about this. This is your chance to lift up the excitement. Okay. Woo!

Let's do. Oh, wait. Wait. There we go. That's my excitement wait here's my excitement where is it
