Hey, Luke, what's going on, man? Happy Monday to you. We have had just a real up and down couple of days here, man. You know, hopefully everything chills out and things go back to normal, but in these crazy times, it's like, what are we supposed to do, man?
I tell you, you're right, Jeff. It's so amazing how the insecurity in markets and the fear of the unknown can really affect people's outlook and consumers outlook. And it's just, it's tough. And you know, we end up getting a lot of questions. At the auction we get a lot of questions. People dealers calling us, other business people calling us, going, hey, what's going on? What, how are you preparing for what, what the market looks like right now? So it's, it's very.
Interesting time. Yeah. So what we're going to do, guys and gals, we are going to do a question and answer and ask Luke and Jeff. This Thursday, our episode will be answering questions. Anything. I mean, as opposed to like, how do we handle this dip in the economy, how do we retail cars, how do we clean bumpers, whatever you guys got any questions that have to do with the auto industry, we're going to attempt to give you the best answers we can come up with. Obviously neither Luke and I are attorneys. We're not accountants. We're not even professionals. We are amateur gunslingers.
