Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Mockreg podcast. I'm Jerry D. It's next. I'm here with my friend Nick Hausman. Nick Hausman, how are you going to do, buddy? I'm good. I'm good. How are you, Jerry? I, you know, we were talking about this show before we started going. The second half of this is going to be a laugh riot. I'm really ready for it. I'm ready to talk about the second half. Unfortunately, the opening half, um, as we are want to do, Nick, uh, we got to talk about serious stuff. Okay. Uh, are we want to do that? We are want to do that. That's what we're want to do. All right. Well, maybe we'll keep it. Maybe we can find some revenue, some, some in the... No, we're not going to in the first half of this show. I apologize.
