The Hey, this is Trey. Thank you for joining us for a Thursday edition.

It's the Q&A or Q and Mary Langston podcast or just the Mary Langston

podcast.

Whatever folks want to call it, I enjoy it.

Makes me think, which is a good thing.

The questions are fantastic, they're relevant,

and they're thought-provoking and I need that because I spend a lot of my time by myself and I'll tell you this

Mary Langston I don't know if this has been your experience or not. It's very hard to ask yourself a question that you don't already know the answer to. I mean I spent a lot of time talking to myself as you know because we've walked through airports together and you've seen that.

All right let's do it thank you all for sending us your thoughts and your questions each week.

We hope that y'all will keep sending them our way. Trey they're more legal focus today but we'll end a little bit differently.
