Hey everybody, this is Steve. Before this show starts, I just wanted to give

0:06.6

everybody a little heads up. It turns out we found out after we had recorded

0:11.8

this episode that we were having a bit of an issue with a piece of our

0:15.6

equipment. So the audio in spots is a little off. Did the best we could to fix it,

0:21.6

but it's not perfect. So at times, it might be a little rough. Bear with us

0:26.7

1:48.2

I thought it was rhetorical. I want to make sure you guys have to put the phones away,

1:51.9

stop texting. No, whatever. Okay. So, also, I should mention this story was a listener suggestion.

1:59.8

It was suggested by Stephanie. Thank you, Stephanie. And I also want to give a shout out to Cindy.

2:05.0
