Okay, everybody.

Rise and shine.

Welcome to the Morning Show Podcast, because you deserve a better morning.

Wow, it is finally here.

The Morning Show Podcast.

Welcome and first and foremost, thank you for even giving us like 30 seconds of your time.

Your morning is valuable, and we know your morning sets the pace for the rest of your day,

so thank you for trusting us with even a little bit of your morning routine.

And over the last week, we've been kind of teasing on social media what you're going to get

out of this podcast.

But Anthony and I started this because we know how important your morning is and you shouldn't

be bogged down with crappy fake radio segments or a ton of commercials

when maybe your commute is only like 15 minutes or maybe you start your morning with the kids

running around you only have 20 minutes before you got to get them to school we will be there for

you whenever you're ready to start your day we're going to explain some of the things that we're going to be doing every morning as we go, but we'll give you the four biggest stories of the day. We call that the core four. We're always going to leave you, though, with a little bit of hope for humanity because sometimes the news can get really depressing. We're going to play a game every morning. We've got a little thing called What's Trending with Carla Marie.

Yeah, we do.

But before we go any further, if you can do us just a huge, huge favor to help support kind

of our mission as we try to do this thing on our own without a big multimillion dollar company

backing us, just hit that subscribe button wherever you happen to be listening to this podcast.

The Core 4. The four headlines you need to know.

If you're trying to keep track of the billion dollar game of chicken being played between Russia and

the U.S. that may lead us into World War III, here is where we stand at the moment.
