Hello, Dean Carriannis again, just stopping in with a rare Saturday edition here.

Derek sent me an air check from his Thursday show, and he wanted me to attach it to Friday,

but I didn't get it in time to do that.

So I just wanted to pass it along here.

So everybody in the Derek Hunter podcast audience, if you didn't get to hear his WMAL show, let him explain to you, him and Quinn, why he was out.

Thank you again for listening this past week. I'm really honored to be able to help out Derek when

these kinds of things come up because I know he has a great audience. I know he cares about

all of you and he's a caring guy with a big heart and here's just one example of that.

Welcome back to the program as we get ready to say goodbye for Thursday.

We, thanks to Michael Pelka for filling in for me on short notice yesterday.

We had to say goodbye to a family member.

I'm trying to choke it back.

We got my daughter Quinn here, eight years old.

Our 15-year-old cat, Ringo, had to be put down yesterday.

Tell us about Ringo, Quinn. He was very sweet. He kind of acted like a dog, but he was a cat.

He was like real, he was really nice.

And just when he started getting real sick, I did not like that.

You miss him?

Yeah, a lot.

It's weird not having him around, isn't it?

Yeah, I'm not used to having five cats.

I feel something like something's missing or something's wrong.
