I'm Pat McLean. Thanks for joining us. That's right. There's really nothing going on in the financial world.

Oh, my. We think we'll skip the show today. Oh, my, oh my. But it seems to, Scott, it does seem that, you know, with the banking, who knows turmoil? Who knows where we are? Well, the government is pushing in hard to try to stabilize. I think so. You don't think so? Well, for sure. I mean,

Yellen pretty much said, we're going to do what we need to do.

Yeah.

Again, I feel bad for the small regional banks, though.

Well, I think that's the story that's not being told much.

And in a moment, we'll have a guest on who's the president of a community bank.

And the importance of the small regional banks that play in local economies with small and medium-sized businesses.

I don't even know these people. And the regional bank's like, well, that's Jimmy, Jimmy's dad.

Our kids play lacrosse together, all that stuff.

That matters.
