Hello and welcome the Hoop Collective podcast. We talk about the MBA, which we're doing on Sunday afternoon at the old tipsy-tiki. Back to our home away from home here in Oklahoma City.

Joining me right here, Timbontemps. Hello, everybody. Happy Father's Day to you, Mr. Bontem's, your first Father's Day.

Thank you. I appreciate that. And the guy who's practically got a name on his barstool,

bring it back up because I figured this would be it. I would say you said it exactly right. So I'm glad we had this on. Oh, wow. Here we go. A bunch of buck kissing going on
