I'm Steve Rinella. I'm joined here by Randall Williams. Hello. And we're going to do a little thing where after we listen to Dan Flory's American West podcast, we get to come in. We have the privilege where we get to come in and ask questions. And hopefully for you listeners, some of the questions we ask might reflect some of the questions that you have.

Maybe we'll do a little thing where if you have questions, we will do this. Send your questions in, and then at some point we'll send your questions, and at some point we'll be able to do a roundup with Dan and get your questions answered. But in the meantime, here's our questions.

Yeah. Yeah. I think in the start of this episode, you're talking about many Wests. And there's certain Wests that have, you know, lived on and on in pop culture, especially for Americans living in the 21st century. But you kind of challenge people to... understand the West as a much larger place than the West of cowboys and Indians and of Overland trails and everything like that.
