Scot:
[0:39] Hey Jason and welcome back Jason Scott show listeners well those of you that are regular listeners have probably realized we has been a little while since we put out a show
and the reason why is my colleague Jason here has been traveling like a crazy man.

Jason:
[0:55] This is true I have my annual fun start to the year with the whole CES in RF Marathon which I just got back from.

Scot:
[1:06] I thought this year you weren't doing CS what what what happened we had a client call and Russia.
